士師記 5
1 那一天德波辣和阿彼諾罕的兒子巴辣客作歌說：「
Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying:
2 為了以色列中間有指揮的元帥，為了百姓自願從軍，你們應祝頌上主!
When men let grow their hair in Israel, when the people offer themselves willingly, bless ye the LORD.
3 諸民，請聽! 諸侯，側耳! 對上主我要歌唱，要讚頌上主以色列的天主!
Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, unto the LORD will I sing; I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.
4 上主，當你由色依爾出征時，當你由厄東地前進時，天搖地動，密雲滴雨。
LORD, when Thou didst go forth out of Seir, when Thou didst march out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, yea, the clouds dropped water.
5 山岳搖搖欲墜，在上主前，在上主以色列的天主前。以色列受壓迫
The mountains quaked at the presence of the LORD, even yon Sinai at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel.
6 阿納特之子沙默加爾年間，在為奴的當時，商隊斂跡，行人轉向彎曲的陌徑。
In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways ceased, and the travellers walked through byways.
7 威力在以色列消逝了，消逝了! 直到我德波辣崛起，直到以色列的母親興起。
The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, until that thou didst arise, Deborah, that thou didst arise a mother in Israel.
8 以色列選舉了新神，戰爭即臨門下。四萬以色列人中，不見一面盾牌，一支長矛。勝利的慶祝
They chose new gods; then was war in the gates; was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 我的心靈嚮往以色列的首領，嚮往百姓中自願從軍者。請你們祝頌上主!
My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
10 騎白驢的，坐華氈的，和過路行人，你們都要歌唱，
Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on rich cloths, and ye that walk by the way, tell of it;
11 加入水泉間繚繞的歌聲! 那裏正在歌頌上主的勝利，歌頌他統治以色列的勝利。上主的百姓，速下到城門口!
Louder than the voice of archers, by the watering-troughs! there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts of His rulers in Israel. Then the people of the LORD went down to the gates.
12 奮發呀! 奮發，德波辣! 奮發呀! 奮發，請歌唱! 奮勇，起來，巴辣克! 阿彼諾罕的兒子! 擒住你的俘虜! 戰友
Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song; arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13 英雄的後裔，請出征! 上主的百姓，請隨勇士為我出征!
Then made He a remnant to have dominion over the nobles and the people; the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
14 厄弗辣因盤據在山谷中，本雅明隨你加入了行列；領袖由瑪基爾進軍，省執權杖的由則步隆出發。
Out of Ephraim came they whose root is in Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the marshal's staff.
15 依撒加爾的首領與德波辣和巴辣克相偕；巴辣克在山谷中率領自己的步兵襲敵。勒烏本境內，大有運籌帷幄之士!
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; as was Issachar, so was Barak; into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. Among the divisions of Reuben there were great resolves of heart.
16 為什麼你坐在羊圈內，靜聽牧童的笛聲﹖勒烏本境內，都是猶豫滿懷的人。
Why sattest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the pipings for the flocks? At the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
17 基肋阿得在約但河東安居；丹人為什麼寄居船上﹖阿協爾在海岸靜坐，在港口悠閒；
Gilead abode beyond the Jordan; and Dan, why doth he sojourn by the ships? Asher dwelt at the shore of the sea, and abideth by its bays.
18 則步隆是好冒死捨命的子民，納斐塔里在高原上奮不顧身。交戰
Zebulun is a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, and Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.
19 君王齊來戰鬥，客納罕眾王鏖戰，在默基多水傍─塔納客，未曾掠去一個銀錢。
The kings came, they fought; then fought the kings of Canaan, in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
20 星辰由天上參戰，自其軌道與息色辣交鋒。
They fought from heaven, the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 克雄河的急流將仇敵沖沒。我的心靈，勇敢踐踏罷!
The brook Kishon swept them away, that ancient brook, the brook Kishon. O my soul, tread them down with strength.
22 勇士急奔飛騰，馬蹄撻撻作響。雅厄耳計殺息色辣
Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
23 詛咒默洛次，詛咒其中的居民，因他未率領勇士來協助上主!
'Curse ye Meroz', said the angel of the LORD, 'Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.'
24 雅厄耳，在女子中是可讚美的! 在居於帳棚的女子中是可讚美的!
Blessed above women shall Jael be, the wife of Heber the Kenite, above women in the tent shall she be blessed.
25 他求水，她給了奶，以珍貴的杯盤呈上了乳酪。
Water he asked, milk she gave him; in a lordly bowl she brought him curd.
26 她左手拿著橛子，右手拿著匠人的鎚子，打擊了息色辣，打穿了他的頭顱，擊穿了他的太陽穴。
Her hand she put to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote through his head, yea, she pierced and struck through his temples.
27 在她腳前屈身伏倒，深深入睡，昏迷至死；在她腳前屈身伏倒，蜷伏在那裏，僵臥在那裏。
At her feet he sunk, he fell, he lay; at her feet he sunk, he fell; where he sunk, there he fell down dead.
28 息色辣的母親自窗口探望，在鐵櫺中長歎：戰車為什麼遲遲不來﹖車輛為什麼緩緩而行﹖
Through the window she looked forth, and peered, the mother of Sisera, through the lattice: 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29 聰明的宮女作了回答，自己心中亦反複思想：
The wisest of her princesses answer her, yea, she returneth answer to herself:
30 或者獲得掠物而在分贓，每人分得一二少女；息色辣取得彩衣為掠物，為我的頸項，獲得錦繡彩衣。結論
'Are they not finding, are they not dividing the spoil? A damsel, two damsels to every man; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments of embroidery, two dyed garments of broidery for the neck of every spoiler?'
31 上主! 願你的敵人如此滅亡，願愛你的人像興起的旭日。」 境內於是平安了四十年。
So perish all Thine enemies, O LORD; but they that love Him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
