1
耶路巴力的儿子亚比米勒到了示剑见他的众舅舅，对他外公家宗族的所有人商量说，
耶路巴尔的儿子阿比米勒克去示肯他母亲的弟兄们那里，与他们，以及他母亲的父亲家的整个家庭交流，说，
耶路·巴力的儿子亚比米勒到了示剑见他的众母舅，对他们和他外祖全家的人说：
And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother's brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,
2
求你们问示剑的众人说，是耶路巴力的众子七十人都管理你们好呢？还是一人管理你们好呢？你们又要记念我是你们的骨肉。
我请求你们，向示肯众人的耳中讲话，是耶路巴尔的所有儿子，就是七十人，统治你们好呢，还是一个人统治你们好？你们又要记得我是你们的骨和你们的肉。
“请你们问示剑的众人说，是耶路·巴力的众子七十人都管理你们好呢？还是一人管理你们好呢？你们又要记念我是你们的骨肉。”
Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.
3
他的众舅舅便将这一切话为他说给示剑人听，示剑人的心就转向亚比米勒。因为他们说，他是我们的弟兄；
他母亲的弟兄们就把他所有这些话语都讲到示肯所有人们的耳中；他们的心就偏向去跟随阿比米勒克；因为他们说，他是我们的弟兄；
他的众母舅便将这一切话为他说给示剑人听，示剑人的心就归向亚比米勒。他们说：“他原是我们的弟兄”；
And his mother's brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother.
4
就从巴力比利土的家中取了七十块银子给亚比米勒；亚比米勒用以雇了些匪徒跟随他。
他们就从巴尔贝瑞斯的家中拿了七十块银子给他，阿比米勒克就用这些钱雇了些虚空且轻贱的人跟随他。
就从巴力·比利土的庙中取了七十舍客勒银子给亚比米勒；亚比米勒用以雇了些匪徒跟随他。
And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him.
5
他往俄弗拉到他父亲的家，将他弟兄、耶路巴力的众子七十人都杀在一块石头上；只剩下耶路巴力的小儿子约坦，因为他躲藏了。
他就去到在奥弗拉他父亲的家，把他的弟兄们耶路巴尔的众子七十人都杀在一块石头上；然而只留下耶路巴尔的小儿子约珊；因为他自己藏了起来。

6
示剑人和米罗人都一起聚集，往示剑平原的柱子那里，立亚比米勒为王。

And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.
7
有人将这事告诉约坦，他就去站在基利心山顶上，向众人大声喊叫说，示剑人哪，你们要听我，叫神也听你们。
当他们把这事告诉约珊时，他就去站在基瑞欣山顶上，提高他的声音，呼喊，对他们说，你们示肯众人，听取我，这样神也可以听取你们。

And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.
8
一次众树木要膏一个王，管理他们，就去对橄榄树说，统治我们吧。
从前众树要膏抹一个王治理他们；他们就去对橄榄树说，你统治我们吧。
有一时，树木要膏一树为王，管理他们，就去对橄榄树说：‘请你作我们的王。’
The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
9
橄榄树对他们说，我难道要离开尊重神和人的油，飘摇在众树之上吗？
但橄榄树对他们说，我难道要离开我的脂油，就是他们借着我用它来尊敬神和人的，去升到众树之上吗？
橄榄树回答说：‘我岂肯止住供奉神和尊重人的油，飘摇在众树之上呢？’
But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
10
众树木对无花果树说，你来统治我们吧。
然后众树对无花果树说，你来，统治我们吧。
树木对无花果树说：‘请你来作我们的王。’
And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.
11
无花果树回答说，我难道要放弃所结甜美的果子，飘摇在众树之上吗？
而无花果树对他们说，我难道要离弃我的甘甜，和我的好果子，去升到众树之上吗？

14
众树对荆棘说，你来统治我们吧。
于是所有的树就对黑莓说，你来，统治我们吧。
众树对荆棘说：‘请你来作我们的王。’
Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.
15
荆棘回答说，你们若实在膏我为王管理你们，就要投在我的荫下；否则，愿火从荆棘里出来，吞灭黎巴嫩的香柏树。
黑莓回答众树说，如果你们真实地膏抹我为王治理你们，那么来并且把你们的信靠放在我的荫下；否则，让火从黑莓里出来，吞灭黎巴嫩的众雪松。
荆棘回答说：‘你们若诚诚实实地膏我为王，就要投在我的荫下；不然，愿火从荆棘里出来，烧灭黎巴嫩的香柏树。’
And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
16
现在你们立亚比米勒为王，若按诚实、真诚待耶路巴力和他的全家，这就是他的酬劳。
因此现在，如果你们以真实和真诚立阿比米勒克为王，如果你们很好地待耶路巴尔和他的家，照他的手所配得的去对他做；
“现在你们立亚比米勒为王，若按诚实正直善待耶路·巴力和他的全家，这就是酬他的劳。
Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;
17
（从前我父冒死为你们争战，救了你们脱离米甸人的手。
（因我父亲冒死为你们打仗，把你们从米甸人的手中救出来；
从前我父冒死为你们争战，救了你们脱离米甸人的手。
(For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:
18
你们现在起来攻击我的父家，将他众子七十人杀在一块石头上，又立他女仆所生的儿子亚比米勒为示剑人的王；他是你们的弟兄。）
你们今天起来攻击我父亲的家，把他众子七十人杀在一块石头上，又立他女仆的儿子阿比米勒克为治理示肯众人的王，因为他是你们的弟兄；）
你们如今起来攻击我的父家，将他众子七十人杀在一块磐石上，又立他婢女所生的儿子亚比米勒为示剑人的王；他原是你们的弟兄。
And ye are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;)
19
你们现在若按诚实正直待耶路巴力和他的家，就可因亚比米勒得欢乐，他也可因你们得欢乐；
如果你们今天真实和真诚地待耶路巴尔和他的家，那么你们就在阿比米勒克里喜乐吧，他也可以在你们里面喜乐；
你们如今若按诚实正直待耶路·巴力和他的家，就可因亚比米勒得欢乐，他也可因你们得欢乐；
If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:
20
否则，愿火从亚比米勒发出，吞灭示剑人和米罗众人，又愿火从示剑人和米罗人中出来，吞灭亚比米勒。
但如果不这样，就让火从阿比米勒克发出来，吞灭示肯众人和米罗家；又让火从示肯众人和米罗家中出来，吞灭阿比米勒克。
不然，愿火从亚比米勒发出，烧灭示剑人和米罗众人，又愿火从示剑人和米罗人中出来，烧灭亚比米勒。”
But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.
21

Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
24
这是要叫耶路巴力七十个儿子所受的残害归于他们的哥哥亚比米勒，又叫那流他们血的罪归于帮助他杀弟兄的示剑人。
使耶路巴尔七十个儿子所受的残害的报应，和他们的血，归到那杀害他们的弟兄阿比米勒克身上；并且归到帮助他杀他弟兄们的示肯众人的身上。
这是要叫耶路·巴力七十个儿子所受的残害归与他们的哥哥亚比米勒，又叫那流他们血的罪归与帮助他杀弟兄的示剑人。
That the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren.
25
示剑人在山顶上设埋伏，等候亚比米勒。凡从他们那里经过的人，他们就抢夺。有人将这事告诉亚比米勒。

And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech.
28
以别的儿子迦勒说，亚比米勒是谁？示剑是谁？使我们服侍他呢？他不是耶路巴力的儿子吗？他的帮手不是西布勒吗？你们可以服侍示剑的父亲哈抹的种子。我们为什么服侍亚比米勒呢？
以贝得的儿子伽尔说，阿比米勒克是谁，示肯是谁，使我们服务他？他不就是耶路巴尔的儿子吗？他的官员不是泽布尔吗？我们要服务示肯的父亲哈摩的人；为什么要服务他？

And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?
29
惟愿神使这民归我的手下，我就除掉亚比米勒。迦勒又对亚比米勒说，增添你的军兵出来吧。
愿神使这人民在我的手下！那样我就除掉阿比米勒克。他又对阿比米勒克说，增加你的军队，出来吧。

And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee.
32
现在你和跟随你的人今夜起来，在田间埋伏。
因此，现在你和与你一起的人民夜晚在田野里埋伏；
现在你和跟随你的人今夜起来，在田间埋伏。
Now therefore up by night, thou and the people that is with thee, and lie in wait in the field:
33
到早晨太阳一出，你就起来闯城。见迦勒和跟随他的人出来攻击你的时候，你便向他们见机行事。
会这样，到早晨，太阳一出，你清早就起来，伏击那城；看啊，当他和与他一起的人民出来攻击你的时候，那时你就可以向他们见机行事。

西布勒对他说，你曾说，亚比米勒是谁，叫我们服侍他？你所夸的口在哪里呢？这不是你所藐视的民吗？你不如现在出去，与他们交战吧！
于是泽布尔对他说，现在你的嘴在哪里呢，你用它说过，阿比米勒克是谁，叫我们服务他？这不就是你藐视的人民吗？出去吧，现在我请求你，去与他们打仗。
西布勒对他说：“你曾说，亚比米勒是谁，叫我们服侍他？你所夸的口在哪里呢？这不是你所藐视的民吗？你现在出去，与他们交战吧！”
Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, and fight with them.
