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，
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord after the death of Aod,
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。
And the Lord delivered them up into the hands of Jaban king of Chanaan, who reigned in Asor: and he had a general of his army named Sisara, and he dwelt in Haroseth of the Gentiles.
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。
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots set with scythes, and for twenty years had grievously oppressed them.
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。
And there was at that time Debbora a prophetess the wife of Lapidoth, who judged the people,
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 sat under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Rama and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for all 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。
And she sent and called Barac the son of Abinoem out of Cedes in Nephtali: and she said to him: The Lord God of Israel hath commanded thee: Go, and lead an army to mount Thabor, and thou shalt take with thee ten thousand fighting men of the children of Nephtali, and of the children of Zabulon:
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 bring unto thee in the place of the torrent Cison, Sisara the general of Jabin’s army, and his chariots, and all his multitude, and will deliver them into thy hand.
8 巴拉说：“你若同我去，我就去；你若不同我去，我就不去。”
And Barac said to her: If thou wilt come with me, I will go: if thou wilt not come 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。
She said to him: I will go indeed with thee, but at this time the victory shall not be attributed to thee, because Sisara shall be delivered into the hand of a woman. Debbora therefore arose, and went with Barac to Cedes.
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。
And he called unto him Zabulon and Nepbtali, and went up with ten thousand fighting men, having Debbora in his company.
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 Haber the Cinite had some time before departed from the rest of the Cinites his brethren the sons of Hobab, the kinsman of Moses: and had pitched his tents unto the valley which is called Sellnim, and was near Cedes.
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。”
And it was told Sisara, that Barac the son of Ablinoem was gone up to mount Thabor:
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。
And he gathered together his nine hundred chariots armed with scythes, and all his army from Haroseth of the Gentiles to the torrent Cison.
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。
And Debbora said to Barac: Arise, for this is the day wherein the Lord hath delivered Sisara into thy hands: behold he is thy leader. And Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand fighting men with 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 the Lord struck a terror into Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his multitude, with the edge of the sword, at the sight of Barac, insomuch that Sisara leaping down from off his chariot, fled away 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。
And Barac pursued after the fleeing chariots and the army unto Haroseth of the Gentiles, and all the multitude of the enemies was utterly destroyed.
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。
But Sisara fleeing came to the tent of Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Asor, and the house of Haber the Cinite.
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。
And Jahel went forth to meet Sisara, and said to him: Come in to me, my lord, come in, fear not. He went in to her tent, and being covered by her with a cloak,
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。
Said to her: Give me, I beseech thee, a little water, for I am very thirsty. She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him.
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。’”
And Sisara said to her: Stand before the door of the tent, and when any shall come and inquire of thee, saying: Is there any man here? thou shalt say: There is none.
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。
So Jahel Haber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and taking also a hammer: and going in softly, and with silence, she put the nail upon the temples of his head, and striking it With the hammer, drove it through his brain fast into the ground: and so passing from deep sleep to death, he fainted away and 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。
And behold Barac came pursuing after Sisara: and Jahel went out to meet him, and said to him: Come, and I will shew thee, the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, be saw Sisara lying dead, and the nail fastened in his temples.
23 这样， 神使迦南王耶宾被以色列人制伏了。
So God that day humbled Jabin the king of Chanaan before the children of Israel:
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。
Who grew daily stronger, and with a mighty hand overpowered Jabin king of Chanaan, till they quite destroyed him.
