士师记 5
1 那时，底波拉和亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉作歌，说：
And Debbora and Barac son of Abineem sang in that day, saying,
2 因为以色列中有军长率领， 百姓也甘心牺牲自己， 你们应当颂赞耶和华！
A revelation was made in Israel when the people were made willing: Praise you the Lord.
3 君王啊，要听！ 王子啊，要侧耳而听！ 我要向耶和华歌唱； 我要歌颂耶和华—以色列的 神。
Hear, you kings, and listen, rulers: I will sing, it is I [who will sing] to the Lord, it is I, I will sing a psalm to the Lord the god of Israel.
4 耶和华啊，你从西珥出来， 由以东地行走。 那时地震天漏， 云也落雨。
O Lord, in your going forth on Seir, when you went forth out of the land of Edom, the earth quaked and the heaven dropped dews, and the clouds dropped water.
5 山见耶和华的面就震动， 西奈山见耶和华—以色列 神的面也是如此。
The mountains were shaken before the face of the Lord Eloi, this Sina before the face of the Lord God of Israel.
6 在亚拿之子珊迦的时候， 又在雅亿的日子， 大道无人行走， 都是绕道而行。
In the days of Samegar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, they deserted the ways, and went in by-ways; they went in crooked paths.
7 以色列中的官长停职， 直到我底波拉兴起， 等我兴起作以色列的母。
The mighty men in Israel failed, they failed until Debbora arose, until she arose a mother in Israel.
8 以色列人选择新神， 争战的事就临到城门。 那时，以色列四万人中 岂能见盾牌枪矛呢？
They chose new gods; then the cities of rulers fought; there was not a shield or spear seen amongst forty thousand in Israel.
9 我心倾向以色列的首领， 他们在民中甘心牺牲自己。 你们应当颂赞耶和华！
My heart [inclines] to the orders given in Israel; you that are willing amongst the people, bless the Lord.
10 骑白驴的、坐绣花毯子的、行路的， 你们都当传扬！
You that mount a she-ass at noon-day, you that sit on the judgement-seat, and walk by the roads of them that sit in judgement by the way; declare
11 在远离弓箭响声打水之处， 人必述说耶和华公义的作为， 就是他治理以色列公义的作为。 那时耶和华的民下到城门。
[you that are delivered] from the noise of disturbers amongst the drawers of water; there shall they relate righteous acts: O Lord, increase righteous acts in Israel: then the people of the Lord went down to the cities.
12 底波拉啊，兴起！兴起！ 你当兴起，兴起，唱歌。 亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉啊，你当奋兴， 掳掠你的敌人。
Awake, awake, Debbora; awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barac, and lead your captivity captive, son of Abineem.
13 那时有余剩的贵胄和百姓一同下来； 耶和华降临，为我攻击勇士。
Then went down the remnant to the strong, the people of the Lord went down for him amongst the mighty ones from me.
14 有根本在亚玛力人的地， 从以法莲下来的； 便雅悯在民中跟随你。 有掌权的从玛吉下来； 有持杖检点民数的从西布伦下来；
Ephraim rooted them out in Amalec, behind you was Benjamin amongst your people: the inhabitants of Machir came down with me searching out the enemy, and from Zabulon came they that draw with the scribe's pen of record.
15 以萨迦的首领与底波拉同来； 以萨迦怎样，巴拉也怎样。 众人都跟随巴拉冲下平原； 在吕便的溪水旁有心中定大志的。
And princess in Issachar were with Debbora and Barac, thus she sent Barac on his feet in the valleys into the portions of Ruben; great [pangs] reached to the heart.
16 你为何坐在羊圈内 听群中吹笛的声音呢？ 在吕便的溪水旁有心中设大谋的。
Why did they sit between the sheepfolds to hear the bleating of flocks for the divisions of Ruben? [there were] great searchings of heart.
17 基列人安居在约旦河外。 但人为何等在船上？ 亚设人在海口静坐， 在港口安居。
Galaad [is] on the other side of Jordan where he pitched his tents; and why does Dan remain in ships? Aser sat down on the sea-coasts, and he will tabernacle at his ports.
18 西布伦人是拚命敢死的； 拿弗他利人在田野的高处也是如此。
The people Zabulon exposed their soul to death, and Nephthali came to the high places of their land.
19 君王都来争战。 那时迦南诸王在米吉多水旁的他纳争战， 却未得掳掠银钱。
Kings set themselves in array, then the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanaach at the water of Mageddo; they took no gift of money.
20 星宿从天上争战， 从其轨道攻击西西拉。
The stars from heaven set themselves in array, they set themselves [to fight] with Sisara out of their paths.
21 基顺古河把敌人冲没； 我的灵啊，应当努力前行。
The brook of Kison swept them away, the ancient brook, the brook Kison: my mighty soul will trample him down.
22 那时壮马驰驱， 踢跳，奔腾。
When the hoofs of the horse were entangled, his mighty ones earnestly hasted
23 耶和华的使者说： 应当咒诅米罗斯， 大大咒诅其中的居民； 因为他们不来帮助耶和华， 不来帮助耶和华攻击勇士。
to curse Meroz: Curse you [it], said the angel of the Lord; cursed [is] every one that dwells in it, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to his help amongst the mighty.
24 愿基尼人希百的妻雅亿比众妇人多得福气， 比住帐棚的妇人更蒙福祉。
Blessed amongst women be Jael wife of Chaber the Kenite; let her be blessed above women in tents.
25 西西拉求水， 雅亿给他奶子， 用宝贵的盘子给他奶油。
He asked for water, she gave him milk in a dish; she brought butter of princes.
26 雅亿左手拿着帐棚的橛子， 右手拿着匠人的锤子， 击打西西拉， 打伤他的头， 把他的鬓角打破穿通。
She stretched forth her left hand to the nail, and her right to the hand workman's hammer, and she struck Sisara with it, she nailed through his head and struck him; she nailed through his temples.
27 西西拉在她脚前曲身仆倒， 在她脚前曲身倒卧； 在那里曲身，就在那里死亡。
He rolled down between her feet; he fell and lay between her feet; he bowed and fell: where he bowed, there he fell dead.
28 西西拉的母亲从窗户里往外观看， 从窗棂中呼叫说： 他的战车为何耽延不来呢？ 他的车轮为何行得慢呢？
The mother of Sisara looked down through the window out of the loophole, [saying], Why was his chariot ashamed? why did the wheels of his chariots wait?
29 聪明的宫女安慰她， 她也自言自语地说：
Her wise ladies answered her, and she returned answers to herself, [saying],
30 他们莫非得财而分？ 每人得了一两个女子？ 西西拉得了彩衣为掳物， 得绣花的彩衣为掠物。 这彩衣两面绣花， 乃是披在被掳之人颈项上的。
Will they not find him dividing the spoil? he will surely be gracious to every man: [there are] spoils of dyed garments for Sisara, spoils of various dyed garments, dyed embroidered garments, they [are] the spoils for his neck.
31 耶和华啊， 愿你的仇敌都这样灭亡！ 愿爱你的人如日头出现，光辉烈烈！ 这样，国中太平四十年。
Thus let all your enemies perish, O Lord: and they that love him shall be as the going forth of the sun in his strength. And the land had rest forty years.
