t。 And the land had rest forty years。
旧约 士师记（Judges） 第 6 章 （ 本篇共有 21 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
6：1以色列人又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，耶和华就把他们交在米甸人手里七年。
And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD： and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years。
6：2米甸人压制以色列人。以色列人因为米甸人，就在山中挖穴，挖洞，建造营寨。
And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel： and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains； and caves； and strong holds。
6：3以色列人每逢撒种之后，米甸人，亚玛力人，和东方人都上来攻打他们，
And so it was； when Israel had sown； that the Midianites came up； and the Amalekites； and the children of the east； even they came up against them；
6：4对着他们安营，毁坏土产，直到迦萨，没有给以色列人留下食物，牛，羊，驴也没有留下。
And they encamped against them； and destroyed the increase of the earth； till thou e unto Gaza； and left no sustenance for Israel； neither sheep； nor ox； nor ass。
6：5因为那些人带着牲畜帐棚来，像蝗虫那样多，人和骆驼无数，都进入国内，毁坏全地。
For they came up with their cattle and their tents； and they came as grasshoppers for multitude； for both they and their camels were without number： and they entered into the land to destroy it。
6：6以色列人因米甸人的缘故，极其穷乏，就呼求耶和华。
And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites； and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD。
6：7以色列人因米甸人的缘故，呼求耶和华，
And it came to pass； when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites；
6：8耶和华就差遣先知到以色列人那里，对他们说，耶和华以色列的神如此说，我曾领你们从埃及上来，出了为奴之家，
That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel； which said unto them； Thus saith the LORD God of Israel； I brought you up from Egypt； and brought you forth out of the house of bondage；
6：9救你们脱离埃及人的手，并脱离一切欺压你们之人的手，把他们从你们面前赶出，将他们的地赐给你们。
And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians； and out of the hand of all that oppressed you； and drave them out from before you； and gave you their land；
6：10又对你们说，我是耶和华你们的神。你们住在亚摩利人的地，不可敬畏他们的神。你们竟不听从我的话。
And I said unto you； I am the LORD your God； fear not the gods of the Amorites； in whose land ye dwell： but ye have not obeyed my voice。
6：11耶和华的使者到了俄弗拉，坐在亚比以谢族人约阿施的橡树下。约阿施的儿子基甸正在酒榨那里打麦子，为要防备米甸人。
And there came an angel of the LORD； and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah； that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite： and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress； to hide it from the Midianites。
6：12耶和华的使者向基甸显现，对他说，大能的勇士阿，耶和华与你同在。
And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him； and said unto him； The LORD is with thee； thou mighty man of valour。
6：13基甸说，主阿，耶和华若与我们同在，我们何至遭遇这一切事呢。我们的列祖不是向我们说耶和华领我们从埃及上来吗。他那样奇妙的作为在哪里呢。现在他却丢弃我们，将我们交在米甸人手里。
And Gideon said unto him； Oh my Lord； if the LORD be with us； why then is all this befallen us？ and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of； saying； Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt？ but now the LORD hath forsaken us； and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites。
6：14耶和华观看基甸，说，你靠着你这能力去从米甸人手里拯救以色列人，不是我差遣你去的吗。
And the LORD looked upon him； and said； Go in this thy might； and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites： have not I sent thee？
6：15基甸说，主阿，我有何能拯救以色列人呢。我家在玛拿西支派中是至贫穷的。我在我父家是至微小的。
And he said unto him； Oh my Lord； wherewith shall I save Israel？ behold； my family is poor in Manasseh； and I am the least in my father's house。
6：16耶和华对他说，我与你同在，你就必击打米甸人，如击打一人一样。
And the LORD said unto him； Surely I will be with thee； and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man。
6：17基甸说，我若在你眼前蒙恩，求你给我一个证据，使我知道与我说话的就是主。
And he said unto him； If now I have found grace in thy sight； then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me。
6：18求你不要离开这里，等我归回将礼物带来供在你面前。主说，我必等你回来。
Depart not hence； I pray thee； until I e unto thee； and bring forth my present； and set it before thee。 And he said； I will tarry until thou e again。
6：19基甸去预备了一只山羊羔，用一伊法细面作了无酵饼，将肉放在筐内，把汤盛在壶中，带到橡树下，献在使者面前。
And Gideon went in； and made ready a kid； and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour： the flesh he put in a basket； and he put the broth in a pot； and brought it out unto him under the oak； and presented it。
6：20神的使者吩咐基甸说，将肉和无酵饼放在这磐石上，把汤倒出来。他就这样行了。
And the angel of God said unto him； Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes； and lay them upon this rock； and pour out the broth。 And he did so。
6：21耶和华的使者伸出手内的杖，杖头挨了肉和无酵饼，就有火从磐石中出来，烧尽了肉和无酵饼。耶和华的使者也就不见了。
Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand； and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes； and there rose up fire out of the rock； and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes。 Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight。
6：22基甸见他是耶和华的使者，就说，哀哉。主耶和华阿，我不好了，因为我觌面看见耶和华的使者。
And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD； Gideon said； Alas； O LORD God！ for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face。
6：23耶和华对他说，你放心，不要惧怕，你必不至死。
And the LORD said unto him； Peace be unto thee； fear not： thou shalt not die。
6：24于是基甸在那里为耶和华筑了一座坛，起名叫耶和华沙龙（就是耶和华赐平安的意思）。这坛在亚比以谢族的俄弗拉直到如今。
Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD； and called it Jehovahshalom： unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites。
6：25当那夜，耶和华吩咐基甸说，你取你父亲的牛来，就是（或作和）那七岁的第二只牛，并拆毁你父亲为巴力所筑的坛，砍下坛旁的木偶，
And it came to pass the same night； that the LORD said unto him； Take thy father's young bullock； even the second bullock of seven years old； and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath； and cut down the grove that is by it：
6：26在这磐石（原文作保障）上整整齐齐地为耶和华你的神筑一座坛，将第二只牛献为燔祭，用你所砍下的木偶作柴。
And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock； in the ordered place； and take the second bullock； and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down。
6：27基甸就从他仆人中挑了十个人，照着耶和华吩咐他的行了。他因怕父家和本城的人，不敢在白昼行这事，就在夜间行了。
Then Gideon took ten men of his servants； and did as the LORD had said unto him： and so it was； because he feared his father's household； and the men of the city； that he could not do it by day； that he did it by night。
6：28城里的人清早起来，见巴力的坛拆毁，坛旁的木偶砍下，第二只牛献在新筑的坛上，
And when the men of the city arose early in the morning； behold； the altar of Baal was cast down； and the grove was cut down that was by it； and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built。
6：29就彼此说，这事是谁作的呢。他们访查之后，就说，这是约阿施的儿子基甸作的。
And they said one to another； Who hath done this thing？ And when they enquired and asked； they said； Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing。
6：30城里的人对约阿施说，将你儿子交出来，好治死他。因为他拆毁了巴力的坛，砍下坛旁的木偶。
Then the men of the city said unto Joash； Bring out thy son； that he may die： because he hath cast down the altar of Baal； and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it。
6：31约阿施回答站着攻击他的众人说，你们是为巴力争论吗。你们要救他吗。谁为他争论，趁早将谁治死。巴力若果是神，有人拆毁他的坛，让他为自己争论吧。
And Joash said unto all that stood against him； Will ye plead for Baal？ will ye save him？ he that will plead for him； let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning： if he be a god； let him plead for himself； because one hath cast down his altar。
6：32所以当日人称基甸为耶路巴力，意思说，他拆毁巴力的坛，让巴力与他争论。
Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal； saying； Let Baal plead against him； because he hath thrown down his altar。
6：33那时，米甸人，亚玛力人，和东方人都聚集过河，在耶斯列平原安营。
Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together； and went over； and pitched in the valley of Jezreel。
6：34耶和华的灵降在基甸身上，他就吹角。亚比以谢族都聚集跟随他。
But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon； and he blew a trumpet； and Abiezer was gathered after him。
6：35他打发人走遍玛拿西地，玛拿西人也聚集跟随他。又打发人去见亚设人，西布伦人，拿弗他利人，他们也都出来与他们会合。
And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh； who also was gathered after him： and he sent messengers unto Asher； and unto Zebulun； and unto Naphtali； and they came up to meet them。
6：36基甸对神说，你若果照着所说的话，藉我手拯救以色列人，
And Gideon said unto God； If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand； as thou hast said；
6：37我就把一团羊毛放在禾场上，若单是羊毛上有露水，别的地方都是乾的，我就知道你必照着所说的话，藉我手拯救以色列人。
