士師記 4
1 厄胡得死後，以色列子民又行了上主視為惡的事。
And the children of Israel continued to do evil against the Lord; and Aod was dead.
2 因此上主將他們交在客納罕王雅賓手中，他當時在哈祚爾為王，他的軍長息色辣駐紮在哈洛舍特哥因。
And the Lord sold the children of Israel into the hand of Jabin king of Chanaan, who ruled in Asor; and the chief of his host was Sisara, and he lived in Arisoth of the Gentiles.
3 因為雅賓王有九百輛鐵甲車，極力壓迫以色列子民已有二十年之久，以色列子民遂呼籲上主。
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord, because he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he mightily oppressed Israel twenty years.
4 當時有一位女先知德波辣是拉丕多特的妻子，作以色列的民長。
And Debbora, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, —she judged Israel at that time.
5 她常坐在厄弗辣因山地、辣瑪和貝特耳中間那棵德波辣棕樹下，以色列子民都到她那裏去聽判斷。
And she sat under the palm tree of Debbora between Rama and Baethel in mount Ephraim; and the children of Israel went up to her for judgement.
6 她打發人從納斐塔里刻德士把阿彼諾罕的兒子巴辣克叫來，對他說：「這是上主以色列的上主的命令：你要從納斐塔里和則步隆子孫中，率領一萬人向大博爾山進發：
And Debbora sent and called Barac the son of Abineem out of Cades Nephthali, and she said to him, Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded you? and you shall depart to mount Thabor, and shall take with yourself ten thousand men of the sons of Nephthali and of the sons of Zabulon.
7 我要引領雅賓的將軍息色辣和他的車輛軍隊到克雄河畔，到你跟前來，把他交在你手中。」
And I will bring to you to the torrent of Kison Sisara the captain of the host of Jabin, and his chariots, and his multitude, and I will deliver them into your hands.
8 巴辣克對她說：「你若同我去，我就去；你若不同我去，我就不去。」
And Barac said to her, If you will go with me, I will go; and if you will not go, I will not go; for I know not the day on which the Lord prospers his messenger with me.
9 她回答說：「我一定同你去，但是你此行並無光榮，因為上主要把息色辣交在一個女子手中。」於是德波辣起身同巴辣克往刻德士去了。
And she said, I will surely go with you; but know that your honour shall not attend on the expedition on which you go, for the Lord shall sell Sisara into the hands of a women: and Debbora arose, and went with Barac out of Cades.
10 巴辣克召集則步隆和納斐塔里的子孫到刻德士去，跟他上去的有一萬人，德波辣也同他上去了。
And Barac called Zabulon and Nephthali out of Cades, and there went up at his feet ten thousand men, and Debbora went up with him.
11 那時刻尼人赫貝爾離開別的刻尼人，離開梅瑟的姻親曷巴布的子孫，在刻德士附近的匝阿納寧橡樹旁支搭了帳幕。
And Chaber the Kenite had removed from Caina, from the sons of Jobab the father-in-law of Moses, and pitched his tent by the oak of the covetous ones, which is near Kedes.
12 有人報告息色辣；阿彼諾罕的兒子巴辣克已上了大博爾山。
And it was told Sisara that Barac the son of Abineem was gone up to mount Thabor.
13 息色辣遂召集了他所有的車輛，即那九百輛鐵甲車，和隨從他的全軍，從哈洛舍特哥因出來。到了克雄河畔。
And Sisara summoned all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron and all the people with him, from Arisoth of the Gentiles to the brook of Kison.
14 德波辣對巴辣克說：「起來! 因為今天上主已把息色辣交在你手中。上主不是走在你前面嗎﹖」於是巴辣克從大博爾山下來，那一萬人跟在他後面。
And Debbora said to Barac, Rise up, for this [is] the day on which the Lord has delivered Sisara into your hand, for the Lord shall go forth before you: and Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 當時上主用利劍在巴辣克前面擾亂了息色辣和他的車輛以及他的軍隊，息色辣下車，徒步逃跑了。
And the Lord discomfited Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barac: and Sisara descended from off his chariot, and fled on his feet.
16 巴辣克就追趕車輛和軍隊，直追到哈洛舍特哥因；息色辣的全軍都喪身刀下，一個也沒有剩下。息色辣死
And Barac pursued after the chariots and after the army, into Arisoth of the Gentiles; and the whole army of Sisara fell by the edge of the sword, there was not one left.
17 息色辣徒步逃到刻尼人赫貝爾的妻子雅厄耳的帳幕那裏，因為哈祚爾王雅賓和刻尼人赫貝爾的家族相安無事。
And Sisara fled on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Chaber the Kenite his friend: for there was peace between Jabin king of Asor and the house of Chaber the Kenite.
18 雅厄耳出來迎接息色辣，向他說：「我主! 請你躲起來，躲在我這裏，不必害怕! 」他就躲在她的帳幕裏；雅厄耳就用毯子蓋住他。
And Jael went, out to meet Sisara, and said to him, Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me, fear not: and he turned aside to her into the tent; and she covered him with a mantle.
19 息色辣對她說：「請給我一點水喝! 因為我渴了。」她就打開皮囊給他奶喝，然後又蓋住他。
And Sisara said to her, Give me, I pray you, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty: and she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him.
20 息色辣又向她說：「你站在帳幕門口，若有人來問你說：這裏有人嗎﹖你就回答說：沒有。」
And Sisara said to her, Stand now by the door of the tent, and it shall come to pass if any man come to you, and ask of you, and say, Is there [any] man here? then you shall say, There is not.
21 那時赫貝爾的妻子雅厄耳取了一根帳棚上的木橛，手裏拿著鎚子，悄悄走到息色辣前，把木橛釘在他的太陽穴裏，一直釘到地上；那時他正疲乏熟睡，就這樣死去。
And Jael the wife of Chaber took a pin of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went secretly to him, and fastened the pin in his temple, and it went through to the earth, and he fainted away, and darkness fell upon him and he died.
22 那時巴辣克鄭在追趕息色辣，雅厄耳出來迎接他，對他說：「來! 我給你看看你所追尋的人。」他來到她那裏，看，息色辣已躺在那裏死了! 木橛在他的太陽穴中。
And, behold, Barac [was] pursuing Sisara: and Jael went out to meet him, and he said to him, Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek: and he went in to her; and, behold, Sisara was fallen dead, and the pin [was] in his temple.
23 這樣，那一天天主在以色列子民面前制伏了客納罕王雅賓。
So God routed Jabin king of Chanaan in that day before the children of Israel.
24 以色列子民的力量日漸強大，超過了客納罕王雅賓，直到將他消滅。
And the hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin king of Chanaan, until they utterly destroyed Jabin king of Chanaan.
