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!
Praise all of you the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
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 all of you kings; give ear, O all of you princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD 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 you went out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also 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 melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD 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 were unoccupied, 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 inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose 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 all of you the LORD.
10 騎白驢的，坐華氈的，和過路行人，你們都要歌唱，
Speak, all of you that ride on white asses, all of you that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
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!
They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go 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 your captivity captive, you 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 he made him that remains have dominion over the nobles among 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 was there a root of them against Amalek; after you, Benjamin, among your people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
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; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts 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 abode you among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For 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 Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
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 and Naphtali were a people that jeopardized their lives unto the death in 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 and 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 river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, you have trodden down strength.
22 勇士急奔飛騰，馬蹄撻撻作響。雅厄耳計殺息色辣
Then were the horse-hoofs broken by the means 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 all of you Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse all of you 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 the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 他求水，她給了奶，以珍貴的杯盤呈上了乳酪。
He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
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。
She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she stroke Sisera, she stroke off his head, when she had pierced and stricken 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 bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, 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﹖
The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried 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：
Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned 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
Have they not succeeded? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?
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 let all of your enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goes forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
