1 耶和華的天使從吉甲來到波金,對以色列人說:「我帶你們離開埃及,領你們去我起誓要賜給你們祖先的土地。我說,『我永不廢棄跟你們立的約,2 你們不可跟這裡的居民立約,要毀掉他們的祭壇。』可是你們為什麼不聽呢?3 因此,我告訴你們,我必不趕走這裡的居民,他們必成為你們肋旁的刺,他們的神明必成為你們的網羅。」4 以色列人聽了耶和華的天使說的話,就放聲大哭,5 他們稱那地方為波金[1],在那裡向耶和華獻祭。6 約書亞遣散以色列人後,他們便各自去攻佔所分得的土地。7 約書亞在世的時候,以色列人都事奉耶和華。他死後,那些目睹耶和華為以色列人行大事的長老還在世的時候,以色列人仍然事奉耶和華。8 耶和華的僕人、嫩的兒子約書亞去世時享年一百一十歲。9 以色列人把他葬在他自己的土地上,在迦實山以北、以法蓮山區的亭拿·希烈。10 那一代人都去世後,新一代不認識耶和華,也不知道耶和華為以色列人所行的事。11 以色列人做耶和華視為惡的事,祭拜巴力。12 他們背棄了領他們祖先離開埃及的上帝耶和華,追隨、祭拜鄰邦的各種神明,因而惹耶和華發怒。13 他們背棄耶和華,去祭拜巴力和亞斯她錄。14 耶和華向他們發怒,使他們遭到掠奪者的攻擊和四周仇敵的壓制,毫無抵抗之力。15 他們每次出戰,耶和華都與他們為敵,使他們戰敗,正如祂的誓言。他們苦不堪言。16 後來,耶和華使士師[2]興起,從掠奪者手中拯救他們。17 但他們不聽從士師的話,與其他神明苟合,祭拜它們,很快偏離他們祖先的道路,沒有像他們的祖先那樣遵行耶和華的命令。18 耶和華見他們因敵人的壓迫和苦待而哀號,就憐憫他們,使士師陸續興起,並與每位士師同在。士師在世之日,耶和華從仇敵手中拯救他們。19 士師去世以後,他們又故態復萌,追隨、祭拜其他神明,比他們的祖先更敗壞。他們執迷不悟,怙惡不悛。20 耶和華向他們發怒,說:「這百姓違背了我跟他們祖先所立的約,不聽從我的話。21 因此,我不再逐出約書亞去世時還沒有趕走的外族人,22 我要藉此試驗以色列人,看他們是否像他們祖先一樣謹遵我的道。」23 這就是為什麼耶和華留下那些外族人,沒有立刻把他們趕走,也沒有把他們交在約書亞手中。

1 Now the angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, “I brought you up from Egypt and brought you into the land that I swore to give to your fathers. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you, (创17:7; 出6:4; 申31:16; 士2:5)2 and you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.’ But you have not obeyed my voice. What is this you have done? (申7:2; 申12:3)3 So now I say, I will not drive them out before you, but they shall become thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare to you.” (民33:55; 书23:13; 士2:21)4 As soon as the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the people of Israel, the people lifted up their voices and wept.5 And they called the name of that place Bochim.[1] And they sacrificed there to the Lord.6 When Joshua dismissed the people, the people of Israel went each to his inheritance to take possession of the land.7 And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work that the Lord had done for Israel. (书24:29)8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died at the age of 110 years.9 And they buried him within the boundaries of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of the mountain of Gaash. (书19:50; 书24:33)10 And all that generation also were gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done for Israel.11 And the people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord and served the Baals. (士3:7; 士4:1; 士6:1; 士10:6; 士13:1)12 And they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They went after other gods, from among the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed down to them. And they provoked the Lord to anger. (出20:5; 申6:14; 申31:16; 申31:29; 士2:17; 士2:19)13 They abandoned the Lord and served the Baals and the Ashtaroth. (士3:7; 士10:6; 撒上7:4; 诗106:36)14 So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he gave them over to plunderers, who plundered them. And he sold them into the hand of their surrounding enemies, so that they could no longer withstand their enemies. (利26:37; 申32:30; 书7:12; 士2:20; 士3:8; 士4:2; 撒上12:9; 王下17:20)15 Whenever they marched out, the hand of the Lord was against them for harm, as the Lord had warned, and as the Lord had sworn to them. And they were in terrible distress. (利26:14; 申28:15)16 Then the Lord raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them. (士3:9; 士3:15; 士3:31; 士10:1; 士10:12; 士12:2; 士13:5; 撒上12:11; 尼9:27; 徒13:20)17 Yet they did not listen to their judges, for they whored after other gods and bowed down to them. They soon turned aside from the way in which their fathers had walked, who had obeyed the commandments of the Lord, and they did not do so. (出34:15; 申9:12; 士8:33)18 Whenever the Lord raised up judges for them, the Lord was with the judge, and he saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge. For the Lord was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who afflicted and oppressed them. (创6:6; 出2:24; 出6:5; 民23:19; 申32:36; 书1:5; 诗106:45; 耶18:8; 耶26:3)19 But whenever the judge died, they turned back and were more corrupt than their fathers, going after other gods, serving them and bowing down to them. They did not drop any of their practices or their stubborn ways. (士3:12; 士4:1; 士6:1; 士8:33)20 So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he said, “Because this people have transgressed my covenant that I commanded their fathers and have not obeyed my voice, (申17:2; 书23:16; 士2:14)21 I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died, (书23:13; 士2:3)22 in order to test Israel by them, whether they will take care to walk in the way of the Lord as their fathers did, or not.” (出15:25; 申8:2; 申8:16; 申13:3; 士3:1; 士3:4)23 So the Lord left those nations, not driving them out quickly, and he did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
