Judges 2 (WEBP)

[1] Yahweh’s angel came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, “I brought you out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to give your fathers. I said, ‘I will never break my covenant with you.
[2] You shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land. You shall break down their altars.’ But you have not listened to my voice. Why have you done this?
[3] Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.’ ”
[4] When Yahweh’s angel spoke these words to all the children of Israel, the people lifted up their voice and wept.
[5] They called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there to Yahweh.
[6] Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel each went to his inheritance to possess the land.
[7] The people served Yahweh all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of Yahweh that he had worked for Israel.
[8] Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being one hundred ten years old.
[9] They buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
[10] After all that generation were gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who didn’t know Yahweh, nor the work which he had done for Israel.
[11] The children of Israel did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and served the Baals.
[12] They abandoned Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; and they provoked Yahweh to anger.
[13] They abandoned Yahweh, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
[14] Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of raiders who plundered them. He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.
[15] Wherever they went out, Yahweh’s hand was against them for evil, as Yahweh had spoken, and as Yahweh had sworn to them; and they were very distressed.
[16] Yahweh raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them.
[17] Yet they didn’t listen to their judges; for they prostituted themselves to other gods, and bowed themselves down to them. They quickly turned away from the way in which their fathers walked, obeying Yahweh’s commandments. They didn’t do so.
[18] When Yahweh raised up judges for them, then Yahweh was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it grieved Yahweh because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled them.
[19] But when the judge was dead, they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers in following other gods to serve them and to bow down to them. They didn’t cease what they were doing, or give up their stubborn ways.
[20] Yahweh’s anger burned against Israel; and he said, “Because this nation transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to my voice,
[21] I also will no longer drive out any of the nations that Joshua left when he died from before them;
[22] that by them I may test Israel, to see if they will keep Yahweh’s way to walk therein, as their fathers kept it, or not.”
[23] So Yahweh left those nations, without driving them out hastily. He didn’t deliver them into Joshua’s hand.

Judges 2:5 “Bochim” means “weepers”.

Judges 2 (KJVS)

[1] And an angel of the Lord came up () from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, () I made you to go up () out of Egypt, and have brought () you unto the land which I sware () unto your fathers; and I said, () I will never break () my covenant with you.
[2] And ye shall make () no league with the inhabitants () of this land; ye shall throw down () their altars: but ye have not obeyed () my voice: why have ye done () this?
[3] Wherefore I also said, () I will not drive them out () from before you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
[4] And it came to pass, when the angel of the Lord spake () these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up () their voice, and wept. ()
[5] And they called () the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed () there unto the Lord.
[6] And when Joshua had let the people go, () the children of Israel went () every man unto his inheritance to possess () the land.
[7] And the people served () the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived () Joshua, who had seen () all the great works of the Lord, that he did () for Israel.
[8] And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, () [being] an hundred and ten years old.
[9] And they buried () him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
[10] And also all that generation were gathered () unto their fathers: and there arose () another generation after them, which knew () not the Lord, nor yet the works which he had done () for Israel.
[11] And the children of Israel did () evil in the sight of the Lord, and served () Baalim:
[12] And they forsook () the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out () of the land of Egypt, and followed () other gods, of the gods of the people that [were] round about them, and bowed () themselves unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger. ()
[13] And they forsook () the Lord, and served () Baal and Ashtaroth.
[14] And the anger of the Lord was hot () against Israel, and he delivered () them into the hands of spoilers () that spoiled () them, and he sold () them into the hands of their enemies () round about, so that they could () not any longer stand () before their enemies. ()
[15] Whithersoever they went out, () the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had said, () and as the Lord had sworn () unto them: and they were greatly distressed. ()
[16] Nevertheless the Lord raised up () judges, () which delivered () them out of the hand of those that spoiled () them.
[17] And yet they would not hearken () unto their judges, () but they went a whoring () after other gods, and bowed () themselves unto them: they turned () quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, () obeying () the commandments of the Lord; [but] they did () not so.
[18] And when the Lord raised () them up judges, () then the Lord was with the judge, () and delivered () them out of the hand of their enemies () all the days of the judge: () for it repented () the Lord because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed () them and vexed () them.
[19] And it came to pass, when the judge () was dead, [that] they returned, () and corrupted () [themselves] more than their fathers, in following () other gods to serve () them, and to bow down () unto them; they ceased () not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
[20] And the anger of the Lord was hot () against Israel; and he said, () Because that this people hath transgressed () my covenant which I commanded () their fathers, and have not hearkened () unto my voice;
[21] I also will not henceforth () drive out () any from before them of the nations which Joshua left () when he died: ()
[22] That through them I may prove () Israel, whether they will keep () the way of the Lord to walk () therein, as their fathers did keep () [it], or not.
[23] Therefore the Lord left () those nations, without driving them out () hastily; neither delivered () he them into the hand of Joshua.

[1] και ανεβη αγγελος κυριου απο γαλγαλ επι τον κλαυθμωνα και επι βαιθηλ και επι τον οικον ισραηλ και ειπεν προς αυτους κυριος κυριος ανεβιβασεν υμας εξ αιγυπτου και εισηγαγεν υμας εις την γην ην ωμοσεν τοις πατρασιν υμων του δουναι υμιν και ειπεν υμιν ου διασκεδασω την διαθηκην μου την μεθ υμων εις τον αιωνα
[2] και υμεις ου διαθησεσθε διαθηκην τοις εγκαθημενοις εις την γην ταυτην ουδε τοις θεοις αυτων ου μη προσκυνησητε αλλα τα γλυπτα αυτων συντριψετε και τα θυσιαστηρια αυτων κατασκαψετε και ουκ εισηκουσατε της φωνης μου οτε ταυτα εποιησατε
[3] και εγω ειπα ου προσθησω του μετοικισαι τον λαον ον ειπα του εξολεθρευσαι αυτους εκ προσωπου υμων και εσονται υμιν εις συνοχας και οι θεοι αυτων εσονται υμιν εις σκανδαλον
[4] και εγενετο ως ελαλησεν ο αγγελος κυριου τους λογους τουτους προς παντα ισραηλ και επηρεν ο λαος την φωνην αυτων και εκλαυσαν
[5] δια τουτο εκληθη το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου κλαυθμων και εθυσαν εκει τω κυριω
[6] και εξαπεστειλεν ιησους τον λαον και απηλθαν οι υιοι ισραηλ εκαστος εις τον οικον αυτου και εις την κληρονομιαν αυτου του κατακληρονομησαι την γην
[7] και εδουλευσεν ο λαος τω κυριω πασας τας ημερας ιησου και πασας τας ημερας των πρεσβυτερων οσοι εμακροημερευσαν μετα ιησουν οσοι εγνωσαν παν το εργον κυριου το μεγα ο εποιησεν τω ισραηλ
[8] και ετελευτησεν ιησους υιος ναυη δουλος κυριου υιος εκατον δεκα ετων
[9] και εθαψαν αυτον εν οριω της κληρονομιας αυτου εν θαμναθαρες εν ορει εφραιμ απο βορρα του ορους γαας
[10] και πασα η γενεα εκεινη προσετεθησαν προς τους πατερας αυτων και ανεστη γενεα ετερα μετ αυτους οσοι ουκ εγνωσαν τον κυριον και το εργον ο εποιησεν τω ισραηλ
[11] και εποιησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ το πονηρον εναντιον κυριου και ελατρευον τοις βααλιμ
[12] και εγκατελιπον τον κυριον θεον των πατερων αυτων τον εξαγαγοντα αυτους εκ γης αιγυπτου και επορευθησαν οπισω θεων ετερων απο των θεων των λαων των περικυκλω αυτων και προσεκυνησαν αυτοις και παρωργισαν τον κυριον
[13] και εγκατελιπον τον κυριον και ελατρευσαν τη βααλ και ταις ασταρταις
[14] και ωργισθη θυμω κυριος τω ισραηλ και παρεδωκεν αυτους εν χειρι προνομευοντων και επρονομευσαν αυτους και απεδοτο αυτους εν χειρι των εχθρων αυτων κυκλοθεν και ουκ ηδυνασθησαν αντιστηναι κατα προσωπον των εχθρων αυτων
[15] εν πασιν οις επορνευον και χειρ κυριου ην αυτοις εις κακα καθως ελαλησεν κυριος και καθως ωμοσεν κυριος και εξεθλιψεν αυτους σφοδρα
[16] και ηγειρεν αυτοις κυριος κριτας και εσωσεν αυτους εκ χειρος των προνομευοντων αυτους
[17] και γε των κριτων αυτων ουκ επηκουσαν οτι εξεπορνευσαν οπισω θεων ετερων και προσεκυνησαν αυτοις και παρωργισαν τον κυριον και εξεκλιναν ταχυ εκ της οδου ης επορευθησαν οι πατερες αυτων του εισακουειν εντολας κυριου ουκ εποιησαν ουτως
[18] και οτι ηγειρεν αυτοις κυριος κριτας και ην κυριος μετα του κριτου και εσωσεν αυτους εκ χειρος των εχθρων αυτων πασας τας ημερας του κριτου οτι παρεκληθη κυριος απο του στεναγμου αυτων απο προσωπου των πολιορκουντων αυτους και κακουντων αυτους
[19] και εγενετο ως απεθνησκεν ο κριτης και απεστρεψαν και παλιν διεφθειραν υπερ τους πατερας αυτων πορευθηναι οπισω θεων ετερων λατρευειν αυτοις και προσκυνειν αυτοις ουκ απερριψαν τα επιτηδευματα αυτων και ουκ απεστησαν απο της οδου αυτων της σκληρας
[20] και ωργισθη θυμω κυριος εν τω ισραηλ και ειπεν ανθ ων οσα εγκατελιπαν το εθνος τουτο την διαθηκην μου ην ενετειλαμην τοις πατρασιν αυτων και ουχ υπηκουσαν της φωνης μου
[21] και εγω ου προσθησω του εξαραι ανδρα εκ προσωπου αυτων απο των εθνων ων κατελιπεν ιησους και αφηκεν
[22] του πειρασαι εν αυτοις τον ισραηλ ει φυλασσονται την οδον κυριου πορευεσθαι εν αυτη ον τροπον εφυλαξαντο οι πατερες αυτων η ου
[23] και αφηκεν κυριος τα εθνη ταυτα του μη εξαραι αυτα το ταχος και ου παρεδωκεν αυτα εν χειρι ιησου
