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：「
And Deborah sings—also Barak 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!
“For freeing leaders in Israel, For a people willingly offering themselves, Bless YHWH.
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, you kings; give ear, you princes, I sing to YHWH, I sing praise to YHWH, 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。
YHWH, in Your going forth out of Seir, In Your stepping out of the field of Edom, The earth trembled and the heavens dropped, And thick 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
Hills flowed from the face of YHWH, This one—Sinai—From the face of YHWH, 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 son of Anath—In the days of Jael—The ways have ceased, And those going in the paths go [in] crooked ways.
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。
Villages ceased in Israel—they ceased, Until 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
He chooses new gods, Then war [is] at the gates! A shield is not seen—and 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 [is] to the lawgivers of Israel, Who are offering themselves willingly among the people, Bless YHWH!
10 騎白驢的，坐華氈的，和過路行人，你們都要歌唱，
Riders on white donkeys—Sitters on a long robe—And walkers by the way—meditate!
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!
By the voice of shouters Between the places of drawing water, There they give out righteous acts of YHWH, Righteous acts of His villages in Israel, Then the people of YHWH have gone 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; Rise, Barak, and take your captivity captive, 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 him who is left of the majestic ones He caused to rule the people of YHWH, He caused me to rule among 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。
From Ephraim [are] those whose root [is] in Amalek, After you, Benjamin, among your peoples, From Machir lawgivers came down, And from Zebulun those drawing with the reed of a 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 princes in Issachar [are] with Deborah, Indeed, Issachar [is] right with Barak, Into the valley he was sent on his feet. In the divisions of Reuben, The decrees of heart [are] great!
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 have you abided between the boundaries, To hear lowings of herds? For the divisions of Reuben, The searchings of heart [are] great!
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 dwelt beyond the Jordan, And why does Dan sojourn [in] ships? Asher has abided at the haven of the seas, And dwells by his creeks.
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 who exposed its soul to death, Naphtali also—on 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。
Kings came—they fought; Then kings of Canaan fought, In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; They did not take gain of money!
20 星辰由天上參戰，自其軌道與息色辣交鋒。
They fought from the heavens: The stars fought with Sisera from their highways.
21 克雄河的急流將仇敵沖沒。我的心靈，勇敢踐踏罷!
The Brook of Kishon swept them away, The most ancient brook—the Brook of Kishon. You tread down strength, O my soul!
22 勇士急奔飛騰，馬蹄撻撻作響。雅厄耳計殺息色辣
Then the horse-heels were broken, By gallopings—gallopings of its 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 Meroz, said a messenger of YHWH, Cursing, curse its inhabitants! For they did not come to the help of YHWH, To the help of YHWH 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!
Above women is Jael, The wife of Heber the Kenite, She is blessed 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 for water—she gave milk; She brought butter near 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 sends forth her hand to the pin, And her right hand to the laborers’ hammer, And she hammered Sisera—she struck his head, Indeed, she struck, and it passed 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。
He bowed between her feet—He fell, he lay down; He bowed between her feet, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell—destroyed.
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﹖
She has looked out through the window—Indeed, she cries out—the mother of Sisera, Through the lattice: Why is his chariot delaying to come? Why have the steps of his chariot tarried?
29 聰明的宮女作了回答，自己心中亦反複思想：
The wise ones, her princesses, answer her, Indeed, she returns her sayings 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
Do they not find? They apportion spoil, A female—two females—for every head, Spoil of finger-work for Sisera, Spoil of embroidered finger-work, Finger-work—a pair of embroidered things, For the necks of 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 do all Your enemies perish, O YHWH, And those loving Him [are] As the going out of the sun in its might!” And the land rests [for] forty years.
