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 with Barak the son of Abino'am 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 depravity had broken out in Israel, then did the people offer themselves willingly; [therefore] praise 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 kings; give ear, O 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, at thy going forth out of Seir, at thy marching along out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, also the heavens dropped, also 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 melted away because of the presence of the Lord, yonder Sinai, because of 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 Ja'el, the highways were unoccupied, and those who travelled on roads walked through crooked by-paths.
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。
Desolate were the open towns in Israel, they were desolate, until that I arose, Deborah, 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 there war in the gates: was there a shield seen or a spear 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 [belongeth] to the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people: praise 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 in judgment, and ye who walk on the way, utter praise!
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!
[Urged on] by the voice of those who divide [the flocks] between the watering wells, there shall they rehearse the benefits of the Lord, the benefits toward his open towns in Israel; [for] now go down [again] to the gates the people of the Lord.
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! up, Barak, and lead away thy captives, son of Abino'am.
13 英雄的後裔，請出征! 上主的百姓，請隨勇士為我出征!
Then obtained dominion a few that had escaped for the nobles among the people—the Lord gave me 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。
They whose root is out of Ephraim were against 'Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, with thy armies; out of Machir came down lawgivers, 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; yea Issachar, the support of Barak; into the valley he hastened down in his train; [but] at the streams 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 didst thou sit among the sheepfolds to hear the bleatings of the flocks? At the streams 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；
Gil'ad abode beyond the Jordan; and Dan—why would he tarry in ships? Asher remained on the seashore, and abode near his 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 its life unto death, and Naphtali—on the high places of the [battle] 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。
There came kings, [and] fought, then fought the kings of Canaan, in Ta'anach by the waters of Megiddo: gain of money they took not away.
20 星辰由天上參戰，自其軌道與息色辣交鋒。
From heaven they fought—the stars in their courses fought against Sissera.
21 克雄河的急流將仇敵沖沒。我的心靈，勇敢踐踏罷!
The stream of Kishon swept them away, that ancient stream, the stream of Kishon: step along, O my soul, in victorious strength.
22 勇士急奔飛騰，馬蹄撻撻作響。雅厄耳計殺息色辣
Then were crushed the hoofs of the horses, through 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, saith the messenger of the Lord, yea, curse ye bitterly its inhabitants; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among 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 [other] women shall be Ja'el the wife of Cheber the Kenite, above [other] women [dwelling] in the tent may 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 dish she brought him cream.
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 forth to the nail, and her right hand to the laborious workmen's hammer; and she hammered Sissera, she struck his head, and crushed and smote through his temple.
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。
Between her feet he bent, he fell, he lay; between her feet he bent, he fell: where he had bent, there he fell down, bereft of life.
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﹖
Out of the window looked and moaned the mother of Sissera, through the lattice, Why tarrieth his chariot so long in coming? why lag the wheels of his chariot?
29 聰明的宮女作了回答，自己心中亦反複思想：
The wise among her ladies answered her, she also returned a reply 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
Will they not find, —divide booty? one maiden, two maidens for every man, a booty of colored garments for Sissera, a booty of colored embroidered garments, colored, double-worked garments round the necks of the captives!
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。
Thus may perish all thy enemies, O Lord; but may those that love him be as the rising of the sun in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
