士师记 4
1 以笏死后，以色列人又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，
After Ehud died, the Israelites again did evil in the sight of the LORD.
2 耶和华就把他们付与在夏琐作王的迦南王耶宾手中；他的将军是西西拉，住在外邦人的夏罗设。
So the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his forces was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim.
3 耶宾王有铁车九百辆。他大大欺压以色列人二十年，以色列人就呼求耶和华。
Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, because Jabin had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he had harshly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years.
4 有一位女先知名叫底波拉，是拉比多的妻，当时作以色列的士师。
Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.
5 她住在以法莲山地拉玛和伯特利中间，在底波拉的棕树下。以色列人都上她那里去听判断。
And she would sit under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, where the Israelites would go up to her for judgment.
6 她打发人从拿弗他利的基低斯将亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉召了来，对他说：“耶和华—以色列的 神吩咐你说：‘你率领一万拿弗他利和西布伦人上他泊山去。
She summoned Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, “Surely the LORD, the God of Israel, is commanding you: ‘Go and march to Mount Tabor, taking with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun.
7 我必使耶宾的将军西西拉率领他的车辆和全军往基顺河，到你那里去；我必将他交在你手中。’”
And I will draw out Sisera the commander of Jabin’s army, his chariots, and his troops to the River Kishon, and I will deliver him into your hand.’”
8 巴拉说：“你若同我去，我就去；你若不同我去，我就不去。”
Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go.”
9 底波拉说：“我必与你同去，只是你在所行的路上得不着荣耀，因为耶和华要将西西拉交在一个妇人手里。”于是底波拉起来，与巴拉一同往基低斯去了。
“I will certainly go with you,” Deborah replied, “but the road you are taking will bring you no honor, because the LORD will be selling Sisera into the hand of a woman.” So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh,
10 巴拉就招聚西布伦人和拿弗他利人到基低斯，跟他上去的有一万人。底波拉也同他上去。
where he summoned Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah also went with him.
11 摩西岳父何巴的后裔，基尼人希百曾离开基尼族，到靠近基低斯、撒拿音的橡树旁支搭帐棚。
Now Heber the Kenite had moved away from the Kenites, the descendants of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent by the great tree of Zaanannim, which was near Kedesh.
12 有人告诉西西拉说：“亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉已经上他泊山了。”
When Sisera was told that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up Mount Tabor,
13 西西拉就聚集所有的铁车九百辆和跟随他的全军，从外邦人的夏罗设出来，到了基顺河。
he summoned all nine hundred of his iron chariots and all the men with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the River Kishon.
14 底波拉对巴拉说：“你起来，今日就是耶和华将西西拉交在你手的日子。耶和华岂不在你前头行吗？”于是巴拉下了他泊山，跟随他有一万人。
Then Deborah said to Barak, “Arise, for this is the day that the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone before you?” So Barak came down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.
15 耶和华使西西拉和他一切车辆全军溃乱，在巴拉面前被刀杀败；西西拉下车步行逃跑。
And in front of him the LORD routed with the sword Sisera, all his charioteers, and all his army. Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled on foot.
16 巴拉追赶车辆、军队，直到外邦人的夏罗设。西西拉的全军都倒在刀下，没有留下一人。
Then Barak pursued the chariots and army as far as Harosheth-hagoyim, and the whole army of Sisera fell by the sword; not a single man was left.
17 只有西西拉步行逃跑，到了基尼人希百之妻雅亿的帐棚，因为夏琐王耶宾与基尼人希百家和好。
Meanwhile, Sisera had fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there was peace between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
18 雅亿出来迎接西西拉，对他说：“请我主进来，不要惧怕”；西西拉就进了她的帐棚。雅亿用被将他遮盖。
Jael went out to greet Sisera and said to him, “Come in, my lord. Come in with me. Do not be afraid.” So he entered her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
19 西西拉对雅亿说：“我渴了，求你给我一点水喝。”雅亿就打开皮袋，给他奶子喝，仍旧把他遮盖。
Sisera said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” So she opened a container of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him again.
20 西西拉又对雅亿说：“请你站在帐棚门口，若有人来问你说：‘有人在这里没有？’你就说：‘没有。’”
“Stand at the entrance to the tent,” he said, “and if anyone comes and asks you, ‘Is there a man here?’ say, ‘No.’”
21 西西拉疲乏沉睡。希百的妻雅亿取了帐棚的橛子，手里拿着锤子，轻悄悄地到他旁边，将橛子从他鬓边钉进去，钉入地里。西西拉就死了。
But as he lay sleeping from exhaustion, Heber’s wife Jael took a tent peg, grabbed a hammer, and went silently to Sisera. She drove the peg through his temple and into the ground, and he died.
22 巴拉追赶西西拉的时候，雅亿出来迎接他说：“来吧，我将你所寻找的人给你看。”他就进入帐棚，看见西西拉已经死了，倒在地上，橛子还在他鬓中。
When Barak arrived in pursuit of Sisera, Jael went out to greet him and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man you are seeking.” So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera dead, with a tent peg through his temple.
23 这样， 神使迦南王耶宾被以色列人制伏了。
On that day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites.
24 从此以色列人的手越发有力，胜了迦南王耶宾，直到将他灭绝了。
And the hand of the Israelites grew stronger and stronger against Jabin king of Canaan until they destroyed him.
