士师记 21

以色列人在米斯巴曾起誓说：「我们都不将女儿给便雅悯人为妻。」

yǐ sè liè rén zài mǐ sī bā céng qǐ shì shuō ：「 wǒ men dōu bù jiāng nǚ ér gěi biàn yǎ mǐn rén wéi qī 。」

Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, “None of us will give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.”

以色列人来到伯特利，坐在 神面前直到晚上，放声痛哭，

yǐ sè liè rén lái dào bó tè lì ， zuò zài shén miàn qián zhí dào wǎn shàng ， fàng shēng tòng kū ，

The people came to Bethel and sat there until evening before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept severely.

说：「耶和华—以色列的 神啊，为何以色列中有这样缺了一支派的事呢？」

shuō ：「 yē hé huá — yǐ sè liè de shén a ， wèi hé yǐ sè liè zhōng yǒu zhè yàng quē le yì zhī pài de shì ne ？」

They said, “The LORD, the God of Israel, why has this happened in Israel, that there should be one tribe lacking in Israel today?”

次日清早，百姓起来，在那里筑了一座坛，献燔祭和平安祭。

cì rì qīng zǎo ， bǎi xìng qǐ lái ， zài nà lǐ zhù le yí zuò tán ， xiàn fán jì hé píng ān jì 。

On the next day, the people rose early and built an altar there, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.

以色列人彼此问说：「以色列各支派中，谁没有同会众上到耶和华面前来呢？」先是以色列人起过大誓说，凡不上米斯巴到耶和华面前来的，必将他治死。

yǐ sè liè rén bǐ cǐ wèn shuō ：「 yǐ sè liè gè zhī pài zhōng ， shuí méi yǒu tóng huì zhòng shàng dào yē hé huá miàn qián lái ne ？」 xiān shì yǐ sè liè rén qǐ guò dà shì shuō ， fán bú shàng mǐ sī bā dào yē hé huá miàn qián lái de ， bì jiāng tā zhì sǐ 。

The children of Israel said, “Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who didn’t come up in the assembly to the LORD?” For they had made a great oath concerning him who didn’t come up to the LORD to Mizpah, saying, “He shall surely be put to death.”

以色列人为他们的弟兄便雅悯后悔，说：「如今以色列中绝了一个支派了。

yǐ sè liè rén wéi tā men de dì xiōng biàn yǎ mǐn hòu huǐ ， shuō ：「 rú jīn yǐ sè liè zhōng jué le yí gè zhī pài le 。

The children of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and said, “There is one tribe cut off from Israel today.

我们既在耶和华面前起誓说，必不将我们的女儿给便雅悯人为妻，现在我们当怎样办理、使他们剩下的人有妻呢？」

wǒ men jì zài yē hé huá miàn qián qǐ shì shuō ， bì bù jiāng wǒ men de nǚ ér gěi biàn yǎ mǐn rén wèi qī ， xiàn zài wǒ men dāng zěn yàng bàn lǐ 、 shǐ tā men shèng xià de rén yǒu qī ne ？」

How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?”

又彼此问说：「以色列支派中谁没有上米斯巴到耶和华面前来呢？」他们就查出基列·雅比没有一人进营到会众那里；

yòu bǐ cǐ wèn shuō ：「 yǐ sè liè zhī pài zhōng shuí méi yǒu shàng mǐ sī bā dào yē hé huá miàn qián lái ne ？」 tā men jiù chá chū jī liè · yǎ bǐ méi yǒu yì rén jìn yíng dào huì zhòng nà lǐ ；

They said, “What one is there of the tribes of Israel who didn’t come up to the LORD to Mizpah?” Behold, no one came from Jabesh Gilead to the camp to the assembly.

因为百姓被数的时候，没有一个基列·雅比人在那里。

yīn wèi bǎi xìng bèi shù de shí hòu ， méi yǒu yí gè jī liè · yǎ bǐ rén zài nà lǐ 。

For when the people were counted, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead there.

会众就打发一万二千大勇士，吩咐他们说：「你们去用刀将基列·雅比人连妇女带孩子都击杀了。

huì zhòng jiù dǎ fā yí wàn èr qiān dà yǒng shì ， fēn fù tā men shuō ：「 nǐ men qù yòng dāo jiāng jī liè · yǎ bǐ rén lián fù nǚ dài hái zi dōu jī shā le 。

The congregation sent twelve thousand of the most valiant men there, and commanded them, saying, “Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the little ones.

所当行的就是这样：要将一切男子和已嫁的女子尽行杀戮。」

suǒ dāng xíng de jiù shì zhè yàng ： yào jiāng yí qiè nán zǐ hé yǐ jià de nǚ zǐ jìn xíng shā lù 。」

This is the thing that you shall do: you shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has lain with a man.”

他们在基列·雅比人中，遇见了四百个未嫁的处女，就带到迦南地的示罗营里。

tā men zài jī liè · yǎ bǐ rén zhōng ， yù jiàn le sì bǎi gè wèi jià de chǔ nǚ ， jiù dài dào jiā nán dì de shì luó yíng lǐ 。

They found among the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred young virgins who had not known man by lying with him; and they brought them to the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.

全会众打发人到临门磐的便雅悯人那里，向他们说和睦的话。

quán huì zhòng dǎ fā rén dào lín mén pán de biàn yǎ mǐn rén nà lǐ ， xiàng tā men shuō hé mù de huà 。

The whole congregation sent and spoke to the children of Benjamin who were in the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them.

当时便雅悯人回来了，以色列人就把所存活基列·雅比的女子给他们为妻，还是不够。

dāng shí biàn yǎ mǐn rén huí lái le ， yǐ sè liè rén jiù bǎ suǒ cún huó jī liè · yǎ bǐ de nǚ zǐ gěi tā men wèi qī ， hái shì bú gòu 。

Benjamin returned at that time; and they gave them the women whom they had saved alive of the women of Jabesh Gilead. There still weren’t enough for them.

百姓为便雅悯人后悔，因为耶和华使以色列人缺了一个支派 。

bǎi xìng wèi biàn yǎ mǐn rén hòu huǐ ， yīn wèi yē hé huá shǐ yǐ sè liè rén quē le yí gè zhī pài 。

The people grieved for Benjamin, because the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.

会中的长老说：「便雅悯中的女子既然除灭了，我们当怎样办理、使那余剩的人有妻呢？」

huì zhōng de zhǎng lǎo shuō ：「 biàn yǎ mǐn zhōng de nǚ zǐ jì rán chú miè le ， wǒ men dāng zěn yàng bàn lǐ 、 shǐ nà yú shèng de rén yǒu qī ne ？」

Then the elders of the congregation said, “How shall we provide wives for those who remain, since the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?”

又说：「便雅悯逃脱的人当有地业，免得以色列中涂抹了一个支派。

yòu shuō ：「 biàn yǎ mǐn táo tuō de rén dāng yǒu dì yè ， miǎn de yǐ sè liè zhōng tú mǒ le yí gè zhī pài 。

They said, “There must be an inheritance for those who are escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe not be blotted out from Israel.

只是我们不能将自己的女儿给他们为妻；因为以色列人曾起誓说，有将女儿给便雅悯人为妻的，必受咒诅。」

zhǐ shì wǒ men bù néng jiāng zì jǐ de nǚ ér gěi tā men wèi qī ； yīn wèi yǐ sè liè rén céng qǐ shì shuō ， yǒu jiāng nǚ ér gěi biàn yǎ mǐn rén wéi qī de ， bì shòu zhòu zǔ 。」

However, we may not give them wives of our daughters, for the children of Israel had sworn, saying, ‘Cursed is he who gives a wife to Benjamin.’”

他们又说：「在利波拿以南，伯特利以北，在示剑大路以东的示罗，年年有耶和华的节期」；

tā men yòu shuō ：「 zài lì bō ná yǐ nán ， bó tè lì yǐ běi ， zài shì jiàn dà lù yǐ dōng de shì luó ， nián nián yǒu yē hé huá de jié qī 」；

They said, “Behold, there is a feast of the LORD from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.”

就吩咐便雅悯人说：「你们去，在葡萄园中埋伏。

jiù fēn fù biàn yǎ mǐn rén shuō ：「 nǐ men qù ， zài pú táo yuán zhōng mái fú 。

They commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, “Go and lie in wait in the vineyards,

若看见示罗的女子出来跳舞，就从葡萄园出来，在示罗的女子中各抢一个为妻，回便雅悯地去。

ruò kàn jiàn shì luó de nǚ zǐ chū lái tiào wǔ ， jiù cóng pú táo yuán chū lái ， zài shì luó de nǚ zǐ zhōng gè qiǎng yí gè wèi qī ， huí biàn yǎ mǐn dì qù 。

and see, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards, and each man catch his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.

他们的父亲或是弟兄若来与我们争竞，我们就说：『求你们看我们的情面，施恩给这些人，因我们在争战的时候没有给他们留下女子为妻。这也不是你们将女子给他们的；若是你们给的，就算有罪。』」

tā men de fù qīn huò shì dì xiong ruò lái yǔ wǒ men zhēng jìng ， wǒ men jiù shuō ：『 qiú nǐ men kàn wǒ men de qíng miàn ， shī ēn gěi zhè xiē rén ， yīn wǒ men zài zhēng zhàn de shí hòu méi yǒu gěi tā men liú xià nǚ zǐ wèi qī 。 zhè yě bú shì nǐ men jiāng nǚ zǐ gěi tā men de ； ruò shì nǐ men gěi de ， jiù suàn yǒu zuì 。』」

It shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, that we will say to them, ‘Grant them graciously to us, because we didn’t take for each man his wife in battle, neither did you give them to them; otherwise you would now be guilty.’”

于是便雅悯人照样而行，按着他们的数目从跳舞的女子中抢去为妻，就回自己的地业去，又重修城邑居住。

yú shì biàn yǎ mǐn rén zhào yàng ér xíng ， àn zhe tā men de shù mù cóng tiào wǔ de nǚ zǐ zhōng qiǎng qù wèi qī ， jiù huí zì jǐ de dì yè qù ， yòu chóng xiū chéng yì jū zhù 。

The children of Benjamin did so, and took wives for themselves according to their number, of those who danced, whom they carried off. They went and returned to their inheritance, built the cities, and lived in them.

当时以色列人离开那里，各归本支派、本宗族、本地业去了。

dāng shí yǐ sè liè rén lí kāi nà lǐ ， gè guī běn zhī pài 、 běn zōng zú 、 běn dì yè qù le 。

The children of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they each went out from there to his own inheritance.

那时，以色列中没有王，各人任意而行。

nà shí ， yǐ sè liè zhōng méi yǒu wáng ， gè rén rèn yì ér xíng 。

In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.
