# 撒上-1Sa 7 ## 撒上7:1 基列耶琳人就下来，将耶和华的约柜接上去，放在山上亚比拿达的家中，分派他儿子以利亚撒，看守耶和华的约柜。 1Sa 7:1 And the men of Kiriath-jearim came and took up the ark of the LORD and brought it to the house of Abinadab on the hill. And they consecrated his son Eleazar to have charge of the ark of the LORD. ## 撒上7:2 约柜在基列耶琳许久。过了二十年，以色列全家都倾向耶和华。 1Sa 7:2 “From the day that the ark was lodged at Kiriath-jearim, a long time passed, some twenty years, and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.” ## 撒上7:3 撒母耳对以色列全家说：“你们若一心归顺耶和华，就要把外邦的神和亚斯他录从你们中间除掉，专心归向耶和华，单单地事奉他。他必救你们脱离非利士人的手。” 1Sa 7:3 “And Samuel said to all the house of Israel, “If you are returning to the LORD with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you and direct your heart to the LORD and serve him only, and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.” ## 撒上7:4 以色列人就除掉诸巴力和亚斯他录，单单地事奉耶和华。 1Sa 7:4 “So the people of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtaroth, and they served the LORD only.” ## 撒上7:5 撒母耳说：“要使以色列众人聚集在米斯巴，我好为你们祷告耶和华。” 1Sa 7:5 “Then Samuel said, “Gather all Israel at Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD for you.” ## 撒上7:6 他们就聚集在米斯巴，打水浇在耶和华面前。当日禁食说：“我们得罪了耶和华。”于是撒母耳在米斯巴审判以色列人。 1Sa 7:6 “So they gathered at Mizpah and drew water and poured it out before the LORD and fasted on that day and said there, “We have sinned against the LORD.” And Samuel judged the people of Israel at Mizpah.” ## 撒上7:7 非利士人听见以色列人聚集在米斯巴，非利士的首领就上来要攻击以色列人，以色列人听见，就惧怕非利士人。 1Sa 7:7 “Now when the Philistines heard that the people of Israel had gathered at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the people of Israel heard of it, they were afraid of the Philistines.” ## 撒上7:8 以色列人对撒母耳说：“愿你不住地为我们呼求耶和华我们的神，救我们脱离非利士人的手。” 1Sa 7:8 “And the people of Israel said to Samuel, “Do not cease to cry out to the LORD our God for us, that he may save us from the hand of the Philistines.” ## 撒上7:9 撒母耳就把一只吃奶的羊羔，献与耶和华作全牲的燔祭，为以色列人呼求耶和华，耶和华就应允他。 1Sa 7:9 “So Samuel took a nursing lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD. And Samuel cried out to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him.” ## 撒上7:10 撒母耳正献燔祭的时候，非利士人前来要与以色列人争战。当日，耶和华大发雷声，惊乱非利士人，他们就败在以色列人面前。 1Sa 7:10 “As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to attack Israel. But the LORD thundered with a mighty sound that day against the Philistines and threw them into confusion, and they were routed before Israel.” ## 撒上7:11 以色列人从米斯巴出来，追赶非利士人，击杀他们直到伯甲的下边。 1Sa 7:11 “And the men of Israel went out from Mizpah and pursued the Philistines and struck them, as far as below Beth-car.” ## 撒上7:12 撒母耳将一块石头，立在米斯巴和善的中间，给石头起名叫以便以谢，说：“到如今耶和华都帮助我们！” 1Sa 7:12 “Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen and called its name Ebenezer; for he said, “Till now the LORD has helped us.” ## 撒上7:13 从此非利士人就被制伏，不敢再入以色列人的境内。撒母耳作士师的时候，耶和华的手攻击非利士人。 1Sa 7:13 So the Philistines were subdued and did not again enter the territory of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel. ## 撒上7:14 非利士人所取以色列人的城邑，从以革伦直到迦特，都归以色列人了；属这些城的四境，以色列人也从非利士人手下收回。那时，以色列人与亚摩利人和好。 1Sa 7:14 “The cities that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath, and Israel delivered their territory from the hand of the Philistines. There was peace also between Israel and the Amorites.” ## 撒上7:15 撒母耳平生作以色列的士师。 1Sa 7:15 Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life. ## 撒上7:16 他每年巡行到伯特利、吉甲、米斯巴，在这几处审判以色列人。 1Sa 7:16 “And he went on a circuit year by year to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah. And he judged Israel in all these places.” ## 撒上7:17 随后回到拉玛，因为他的家在那里，也在那里审判以色列人，且为耶和华筑了一座坛。 1Sa 7:17 “Then he would return to Ramah, for his home was there, and there also he judged Israel. And he built there an altar to the LORD.”
