約書亞卒後以色列人違背耶和華
Disobedience and Defeat
6.從前約書亞打發以色列百姓去的時候，他們各歸自己的地業，占據地土。
After Joshua had dismissed the Israelites, they went to take possession of the land, each to their own inheritance.
7.約書亞在世和約書亞死後，那些見耶和華為以色列人所行大事的長老還在的時候，百姓都事奉耶和華。
The people served the LORD throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the LORD had done for Israel.
8.耶和華的僕人、嫩的兒子約書亞，正一百一十歲就死了。
Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of a hundred and ten.
9.以色列人將他葬在他地業的境內，就是在以法蓮山地的亭拿．希烈，在迦實山的北邊。
And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Heres[b] in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

b. Judges 2:9 Also known as Timnath Serah (see Joshua 19:50 and 24:30)
10.那世代的人也都歸了自己的列祖。後來有別的世代興起，不知道耶和華，也不知道耶和華為以色列人所行的事。
After that whole generation had been gathered to their ancestors, another generation grew up who knew neither the LORD nor what he had done for Israel.
11.以色列人行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，去事奉諸巴力，
Then the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD and served the Baals.
12.離棄了領他們出埃及地的耶和華他們列祖的 神，去叩拜別神，就是四圍列國的神，惹耶和華發怒；
They forsook the LORD, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt. They followed and worshiped various gods of the peoples around them. They aroused the LORD’s anger
13.並離棄耶和華，去事奉巴力和亞斯他錄。
because they forsook him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.
14.耶和華的怒氣向以色列人發作，就把他們交在搶奪他們的人手中，又將他們付於四圍仇敵的手中，甚至他們在仇敵面前再不能站立得住。
In his anger against Israel the LORD gave them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist.
15.他們無論往何處去，耶和華都以災禍攻擊他們，正如耶和華所說的話，又如耶和華向他們所起的誓；他們便極其困苦。
Whenever Israel went out to fight, the hand of the LORD was against them to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them. They were in great distress.
16.耶和華興起士師，士師就拯救他們脫離搶奪他們人的手。
Then the LORD raised up judges,[c] who saved them out of the hands of these raiders.

c. Judges 2:16 Or leaders; similarly in verses 17-19
17.他們卻不聽從士師，竟隨從叩拜別神，行了邪淫，速速地偏離他們列祖所行的道，不如他們列祖順從耶和華的命令。
Yet they would not listen to their judges but prostituted themselves to other gods and worshiped them. They quickly turned from the ways of their ancestors, who had been obedient to the LORD’s commands.
18.耶和華為他們興起士師，就與那士師同在。士師在世的一切日子，耶和華拯救他們脫離仇敵的手。他們因受欺壓擾害，就哀聲嘆氣，所以耶和華後悔了。
Whenever the LORD raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived; for the LORD relented because of their groaning under those who oppressed and afflicted them.
19.及至士師死後，他們就轉去行惡，比他們列祖更甚，去事奉叩拜別神，總不斷絕頑梗的惡行。
But when the judge died, the people returned to ways even more corrupt than those of their ancestors, following other gods and serving and worshiping them. They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.
20.於是耶和華的怒氣向以色列人發作。他說：「因這民違背我吩咐他們列祖所守的約，不聽從我的話，
Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel and said, 「Because this nation has violated the covenant I ordained for their ancestors and has not listened to me,
21.所以約書亞死的時候所剩下的各族，我必不再從他們面前趕出，
I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died.
22.為要藉此試驗以色列人，看他們肯照他們列祖謹守遵行我的道不肯。」
I will use them to test Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the LORD and walk in it as their ancestors did.」
23.這樣耶和華留下各族，不將他們速速趕出，也沒有交付約書亞的手。
The LORD had allowed those nations to remain; he did not drive them out at once by giving them into the hands of Joshua. |
