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。
After Ehud died, the people of Israel once again did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
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。
Yahweh sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was named Sisera, and he lived in Harosheth Haggoyim.
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。
The people of Israel called out to Yahweh for help, because Sisera had nine hundred iron chariots and he oppressed the people of Israel with force for 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。
Now Deborah, a prophetess (the wife of Lappidoth), was a leading judge in 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。
She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the people of Israel came to her to settle their disputes.
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：
She sent for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali. She said to him, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, commands you, 'Go to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men from Naphtali and Zebulun.
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。」
I will draw out Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, to meet you by the Kishon River, with his chariots and his army, and I will give you victory over him.'”
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。」
Barak said to her, “If you go with me, I will go, but if you do not go with me, I will not go.”
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。
She said, “I will certainly go with you. However, the road on which you are going will not lead to your honor, for Yahweh will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Then Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.
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。
Barak called for the men of Zebulun and Naphtali to come together at Kedesh. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah went along 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。
Now Heber (the Kenite) had separated himself from the Kenites—they were the descendants of Hobab (Moses' father-in-law)—and he pitched his tent by the oak in Zaanannim near Kedesh.
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。
When they told Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor,
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。
Sisera called out all his chariots, nine hundred iron chariots, and all the soldiers who were with him, from Harosheth Haggoyim to the Kishon River.
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。
Deborah said to Barak, “Go! For this is the day in which Yahweh has given you victory over Sisera. Is not Yahweh leading you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following 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。
Yahweh confused Sisera and all his chariots and all his army with the edge of the sword. And Sisera got down from his chariot and ran away on foot.
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
But Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Harosheth Haggoyim, and the whole army of Sisera was killed by the edge of the sword, and not a man survived.
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。
But Sisera ran away on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the family of Heber 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。
Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, “Turn aside, my master; turn aside to me and do not be afraid.” So he turned aside to her and came into her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
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。
He said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” She opened a leather bag of milk and gave him drink, and then she covered him up again.
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。」
He said to her, “Stand at the opening of the tent. If someone comes and asks you, 'Is anyone here?', say 'No'.”
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。
Then Jael (the wife of Heber) took a tent peg and a hammer in her hand and went in secretly to him, for he was in a deep sleep, and she hammered the tent peg into the side of his head until it went down into the ground, 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。
As Barak was pursuing Sisera, Jael want out to meet him and said to him, “Come, I will show you the man you are looking for.” So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera dead, with the tent peg in the side of his head.
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 on that day God defeated Jabin, the king of Canaan, before the people 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。
The might of the people of Israel grew stronger and stronger against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they destroyed him.
