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 sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah when Ehud is 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 Jehovah selleth them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who hath reigned in Hazor, and the head of his host [is] Sisera, and he is dwelling in Harosheth of the Goyim;
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 sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, for he hath nine hundred chariots of iron, and he hath oppressed the sons of Israel mightily 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 Deborah, a woman inspired, wife of Lapidoth, she is judging 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 is dwelling under the palm-tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Beth-El, in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the sons of Israel go up unto her for judgment.
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 she sendeth and calleth for Barak son of Abinoam, out of Kedesh-Naphtali, and saith unto him, 'Hath not Jehovah, God of Israel, commanded? go, and thou hast drawn towards mount Tabor, and hast taken with thee ten thousand men, out of the sons of Naphtali, and out of the sons of 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。」
and I have drawn unto thee, unto the brook Kishon, Sisera, head of the host of Jabin, and his chariot, and his multitude, and have given him into thy hand.'
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 Barak saith unto her, 'If thou dost go with me, then I have gone; and if thou dost not go with me, I do 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。
and she saith, 'I do certainly go with thee; only, surely thy glory is not on the way which thou art going, for into the hand of a woman doth Jehovah sell Sisera;' and Deborah riseth and goeth 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。
And Barak calleth Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and he goeth up — at his feet [are] ten thousand men — and Deborah goeth 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 Heber the Kenite hath been separated from the Kenite, from the sons of Hobab father-in-law of Moses, and he stretcheth out his tent unto the oak in Zaanaim, which [is] by 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。
And they declare to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam hath 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。
and Sisera calleth all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who [are] with him, from Harosheth of the Goyim, unto the brook Kishon.
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 Deborah saith unto Barak, 'Rise, for this [is] the day in which Jehovah hath given Sisera into thy hand; hath not Jehovah gone out before thee?' And Barak goeth down from mount Tabor, 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 Jehovah destroyeth Sisera, and all the chariots, and all the camp, by the mouth of the sword, before Barak, and Sisera cometh down from off the chariot, and fleeth 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 Barak hath pursued after the chariots and after the camp, unto Harosheth of the Goyim, and all the camp of Sisera falleth by the mouth of the sword — there hath not been left even one.
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 Sisera hath fled on his feet unto the tent of Jael wife of Heber the Kenite, for peace [is] between Jabin king of Hazor and the house 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。
and Jael goeth out to meet Sisera, and saith unto him, 'Turn aside, my lord, turn aside unto me, fear not;' and he turneth aside unto her, into the tent, and she covereth him with a coverlet.
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 he saith unto her, 'Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water, for I am thirsty;' and she openeth the bottle of milk, and giveth him to drink, and covereth 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 he saith unto her, 'Stand at the opening of the tent, and it hath been, if any doth come in, and hath asked thee, and said, Is there a man here? that thou hast said, 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 wife of Heber taketh the pin of the tent, and taketh the hammer in her hand, and goeth unto him gently, and striketh the pin into his temples, and it fasteneth in the earth — and he hath been fast asleep, and is weary — and he dieth.
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 lo, Barak is pursuing Sisera, and Jael cometh out to meet him, and saith to him, 'Come, and I shew thee the man whom thou art seeking;' and he cometh in unto her, and lo, Sisera is fallen — dead, and the pin in his temples.
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。
And God humbleth on that day Jabin king of Canaan before the sons 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 sons of Israel goeth, going on and becoming hard on Jabin king of Canaan, till that they have cut off Jabin king of Canaan.
