¹以色列人讨伐基比亚

¹And all the sons of Israel go out, and the company is assembled as one man, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, and the land of Gilead, unto Jehovah, at Mizpeh.

²全民的领袖，就是以色列众支派的领袖，都站在　神子民的会中；拿刀的步兵共有四十万人。

²And the chiefs of all the people, of all the tribes of Israel, station themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen drawing sword.

³（以色列人上到米斯巴来，便雅悯人听见了。）以色列人说：“这件恶事是怎样发生的？你们说吧。”

³And the sons of Benjamin hear that the sons of Israel have gone up to Mizpeh. And the sons of Israel say, `Speak ye, how hath this evil been?`

⁴那利未人，就是被害的妇人的丈夫，回答说：“我和我的妾到了便雅悯的基比亚，要在那里住宿。

⁴And the man, the Levite, husband of the woman who hath been murdered, answereth and saith, `Into Gibeah (which [is] to Benjamin) I have come, I and my concubine, to lodge;

⁵基比亚人民起来攻击我，在夜间包围我住的房子攻击我，有意杀害我；他们把我的妾污辱致死。

⁵and rise against me do the masters of Gibeah — and they go round the house against me by night — me they thought to slay, and my concubine they have humbled, and she dieth;

⁶我就把我的妾切成块子，送到以色列的各地业，因为基比亚人在以色列中行了极羞耻的恶事。

⁶and I lay hold on my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and send her into all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for they have done wickedness and folly in Israel;

⁷以色列人哪，你们都要说出你们的意见，也要在这里提出你们的对策。”

⁷lo, ye [are] all sons of Israel; give for you a word and counsel here.`

⁸于是众人都起来如同一人，说：“我们当中谁都不回自己的帐棚，谁都不回自己的家。

⁸And all the people rise as one man, saying, `None of us doth go to his tent, and none of us doth turn aside to his house;

⁹现在我们要这样对待基比亚人：我们要照着所抽的签上去攻打他们。

⁹and now, this [is] the thing which we do to Gibeah — against it by lot!

¹⁰我们要从以色列各支派中，每百人抽取十人，每千人抽取百人，每万人抽取千人，好为人民运送粮食；等他们到了便雅悯的基比亚的时候，就可以照着他们在以色列中所行的一切羞耻的事惩罚他们。”

¹⁰and we have taken ten men of a hundred, of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of a myriad, to receive provision for the people, to do, at their coming to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly which it hath done in Israel.`

¹¹于是以色列众人彼此联合，如同一人，聚集起来攻击那城。

¹¹And every man of Israel is gathered unto the city, as one man — companions.

¹²以色列各支派打发人到便雅悯的各家去，说：“你们中间怎么发生了这样的恶事呢？

¹²And the tribes of Israel send men among all the tribes of Benjamin, saying, `What [is] this evil which hath been among you?

¹³现在你们要把那些人，基比亚的无赖之徒，交出来，我们好处死他们，从以色列中除掉这恶。”只是便雅悯人却不肯听从他们的兄弟以色列人的话。

¹³And now, give up the men — sons of worthlessness — which [are] in Gibeah, and we put them to death, and we put away evil from Israel.` And [the sons of] Benjamin have not been willing to hearken to the voice of their brethren, the sons of Israel;

¹⁴便雅悯人从各城出来聚集，往基比亚去，要与以色列人交战。

¹⁴and the sons of Benjamin are gathered out of the cities to Gibeah, to go out to battle with the sons of Israel.

¹⁵那时便雅悯人，从各城里被数点的，共有二万六千拿刀的，另外被数点的，还有基比亚的居民，共有七百精兵。

¹⁵And the sons of Benjamin number themselves on that day; out of the cities [are] twenty and six thousand men drawing sword, apart from the inhabitants of Gibeah, [who] numbered themselves, seven hundred chosen men;

¹⁶在这些人中，还有七百精兵是善用左手的，个个都能用机弦拋石，毫发不差。

¹⁶among all this people [are] seven hundred chosen men, bound of their right hand, each of these slinging with a stone at the hair, and he doth not err.

¹⁷除了便雅悯人以外，以色列人被数点的，共有四十万拿刀的，个个都是战士。

¹⁷And the men of Israel numbered themselves, apart from Benjamin, four hundred thousand men, drawing sword, each of these a man of war.

¹⁸两次进攻失败以色列人就起来，上伯特利去求问　神，说：“我们之中谁应首先上去，与便雅悯人交战呢？”耶和华说：“犹大应首先上去。”

¹⁸And they rise and go up to Beth-El, and ask of God, and the sons of Israel say, `Who doth go up for us at the commencement to battle with the sons of Benjamin?` and Jehovah saith, `Judah — at the commencement.`

¹⁹以色列人早晨起来，对着基比亚安营。

¹⁹And the sons of Israel rise in the morning, and encamp against Gibeah,

²⁰以色列人出来，要与便雅悯人交战；以色列人在基比亚面前列阵等待他们。

²⁰and the men of Israel go out to battle with Benjamin, and the men of Israel set themselves in array with them, [for] battle against Gibeah,

²¹便雅悯人从基比亚出来，那一天使二万二千以色列人倒地身亡。

²¹and the sons of Benjamin come out from Gibeah, and destroy in Israel on that day two and twenty thousand men — to the earth.

²²众民，就是以色列人，都奋勇起来，又在头一天列阵的地方列阵。

²²And the people, the men of Israel, strengthen themselves, and add to set the battle in array in the place where they arranged themselves on the first day.

²³事前，以色列人上伯特利去，在耶和华面前哀哭直到晚上，然后求问耶和华，说：“我们再去与我们的兄弟便雅悯人交战，可以不可以？”耶和华说：“你们可以上去攻打他们。”

²³And the sons of Israel go up and weep before Jehovah till the evening, and ask of Jehovah, saying, `Do I add to draw nigh to battle with the sons of Benjamin, my brother?` And Jehovah saith, `Go up against him.`

²⁴第二天，以色列人就前去攻打便雅悯人。

²⁴And the sons of Israel draw near unto the sons of Benjamin on the second day,

²⁵便雅悯人第二天也从基比亚出来，迎战以色列人，又使一万八千以色列人倒地身亡，都是拿刀的。

²⁵and Benjamin cometh out to meet them from Gibeah on the second day, and destroy among the sons of Israel again eighteen thousand men — to the earth; all these are drawing sword.

²⁶以色列众人，就是全体人民，又上到伯特利，坐在耶和华面前哀哭，那日禁食直到晚上，然后在耶和华面前献上燔祭和平安祭。

²⁶And all the sons of Israel go up, even all the people, and come in to Beth-El, and weep, and sit there before Jehovah, and fast on that day till the evening, and cause to ascend burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah.

²⁷那时，　神的约柜在那里。

²⁷And the sons of Israel ask of Jehovah, — and there [is] the ark of the covenant of God in those days,

²⁸那时，亚伦的孙子、以利亚撒的儿子非尼哈，侍立在约柜前供职。以色列人求问耶和华，说：“我们应再出去与我们的兄弟便雅悯人交战呢？还是休战呢？”耶和华说：“你们应上去，因为明天我必把他们交在你们手中。”

²⁸and Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, is standing before it in those days — saying, `Do I add again to go out to battle with the sons of Benjamin, my brother, or do I cease?` And Jehovah saith, `Go up, for to-morrow I give him into thy hand.`

²⁹第三次进攻得胜以色列人在基比亚四周设下伏兵。

²⁹And Israel setteth liers in wait against Gibeah, round about,

³⁰第三天，以色列人又上去攻打便雅悯人，在基比亚前面列阵，像前两次一样。

³⁰and the sons of Israel go up against the sons of Benjamin, on the third day, and arrange themselves against Gibeah, as time by time.

³¹便雅悯人也出来迎敌，他们被引出城外，在两条大路上，一条通往伯特利，一条通往基比亚，像前两次一样，动手杀敌，在田间杀死以色列人约有三十个。

³¹And the sons of Benjamin come out to meet the people; they have been drawn away out of the city, and begin to smite [some] of the people — wounded as time by time, in the highways (of which one is going up to Beth-El, and the other to Gibeah in the field), [are] about thirty men of Israel.

³²便雅悯人说：“他们仍像前一次一样，败在我们面前了。”以色列人却说：“我们逃跑吧，引他们离开城市出到大路上来。”

³²And the sons of Benjamin say, `They are smitten before us as at the beginning;` but the sons of Israel said, `Let us flee, and draw them away out of the city, unto the highways.`

³³以色列众人都从自己的地方起来，在巴力．他玛列阵；以色列的伏兵，从基比亚西边埋伏的地方冲出来。

³³And all the men of Israel have risen from their place, and arrange themselves at Baal-Tamar, and the ambush of Israel is coming forth out of its place, out of the meadow of Gibeah.

³⁴全以色列中的精兵，有一万人前来攻打基比亚，战争非常激烈；便雅悯人还不知道灾祸快要临到他们的身上了。

³⁴And they come in over against Gibeah — ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel — and the battle [is] grievous, and they have not known that the evil is striking against them.

³⁵耶和华在以色列人面前击败了便雅悯人；那天以色列人消灭便雅悯人，共二万五千一百名，都是拿刀的。

³⁵And Jehovah smiteth Benjamin before Israel, and the sons of Israel destroy in Benjamin, on that day, twenty and five thousand, and a hundred men; all these [are] drawing sword.

³⁶这样，便雅悯人就看出自己被击败了。原来以色列人倚靠在基比亚前面设下的伏兵，就对便雅悯人诈败。

³⁶And the sons of Benjamin see that they have been smitten — and the men of Israel give place to Benjamin, for they have trusted unto the ambush which they had set against Gibeah,

³⁷伏兵急忙冲入基比亚，用刀击杀了全城的人。

³⁷and the ambush have hasted, and push against Gibeah, and the ambush draweth itself out, and smiteth the whole of the city by the mouth of the sword.

³⁸以色列人与伏兵预先约定，就是从城里放火，以烟气上升为号。

³⁸And there was the appointed sign to the men of Israel with the ambush — their causing to go up a great volume of smoke from the city.

³⁹以色列人在战场上撤退的时候，便雅悯人就动手杀人，刺死以色列人约三十个，心里说：“他们真的像头一次战阵一样，在我们面前被击败了。”

³⁹And the men of Israel turn in battle, and Benjamin hath begun to smite the wounded among the men of Israel, about thirty men, for they said, `Surely they are utterly smitten before us, as [at] the first battle;

⁴⁰当烟柱信号从城中上升的时候，便雅悯人就转身观看，只见全城烟火冲天。

⁴⁰and the volume hath begun to go up from the city — a pillar of smoke — and Benjamin turneth behind, and lo, gone up hath the perfection of the city toward the heavens.

⁴¹那时，以色列人又转身回来，便雅悯人就非常惊慌，因为看见灾祸临到自己身上了。

⁴¹And the men of Israel have turned, and the men of Benjamin are troubled, for they have seen that the evil hath stricken against them —

⁴²他们在以色列人面前转身，向旷野的路上逃走，战争却紧随着他们；那些从各城里出来的人也在他们中间消灭他们。

⁴²and they turn before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness, and the battle hath followed them; and those who [are] from the city are destroying them in their midst;

⁴³以色列人包围了便雅悯人，追赶他们，在他们歇息之地，直到基比亚对面日出之处，践踏他们。

⁴³they have compassed the Benjamites — they have pursued them — with ease they have trodden them down till over-against Gibeah, at the sun-rising.

⁴⁴便雅悯人中倒毙的共有一万八千人，全都是勇士。

⁴⁴And there fall of Benjamin eighteen thousand men — the whole of these [are] men of valour;

⁴⁵其余的人转身，向着旷野逃跑，到了临门的磐石那里；以色列人在大路上除灭了他们五千人，追赶他们直到基顿，又击杀了他们二千人。

⁴⁵and they turn and flee toward the wilderness, unto the rock of Rimmon; and they glean of them in the highways five thousand men, and follow after them unto Gidom, and smite of them two thousand men.

⁴⁶所以那一天便雅悯人倒毙的，共有二万五千人，都是拿刀的，全部是勇士。

⁴⁶And all those falling of Benjamin are twenty and five thousand men drawing sword, on that day — the whole of these [are] men of valour;

⁴⁷剩下的六百人转身，向着旷野逃跑，到了临门的磐石那里，就在临门的磐石那里住了四个月。

⁴⁷and there turn and flee into the wilderness, unto the rock of Rimmon six hundred men, and they dwell in the rock Rimmon four months.

⁴⁸以色列人又回到便雅悯人那里，把全城的人和牲畜，以及一切遇见的，都用刀杀尽；又把他们碰见的一切城市放火烧毁了。

⁴⁸And the men of Israel have turned back unto the sons of Benjamin, and smite them by the mouth of the sword out of the city, — men unto cattle, unto all that is found; also all the cities which are found they have sent into fire.
