士师记 5
1 那时，底波拉和亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉作歌，说：
Then sang Deborah, and Barak, son of Abinoam, —on 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！
For the leadership of leaders in Israel, For the volunteering of the people, —Bless ye Yahweh!
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, ye kings! Give ear, ye princes! I, unto Yahweh, —I, will sing, Will make melody to Yahweh, 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 Yahweh! When thou didst come forth out of Seir, When thou didst march along out of the field of Edom, Earth, trembled, Heaven also, poured forth, —Yea, dark clouds, poured forth waters;
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。
From, mountains, came down streams In presence of Yahweh, —From this Sinai, In presence of Yahweh, 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 Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the roads were forsaken, —and, the frequenters of highways, betook them to roundabout 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。
There was a failure of rulers, in Israel, a failure, —until I arose, a Deborah, 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 gods that were new, Then, —war at the gates! Was there, a shield, to be seen? or a spear? among 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 [saith] —for the governors of Israel, for the volunteers among the people, Bless ye Yahweh!
10 骑白驴的、坐绣花毯子的、行路的， 你们都当传扬！
Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on carpets, and ye that walk upon the road, speak!
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。
In the place of the noise of bowmen among the wells, there, laud ye—the righteous acts of Yahweh, the righteous acts of his rule over Israel. Then, had come down to the gates the people of Yahweh.
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! Deborah, Awake! awake! utter words of song, —Arise! Barak, and bind fast thy captives, O son of Abinoam!
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, came down a remnant to the nobles—a people, —Yahweh, came down with me against the mighty.
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；
Out of Ephraim, [came down] they whose root was in Amalek, After thee, Benjamin, among thy tribes, —Out of Machir, had come down governors, And, out of Zebulun, such as bear aloft the staff of the marshal;
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, my princes in Issachar, were with Deborah, yea, Issachar, was the support of Barak, Into the vale rushed they forth at his feet. Among the divisions of Reuben, great were the resolves of 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。
Wherefore abodes thou among the folds? To hear the mocking of the flocks? The divisions of Reuben, had great counsellings 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。
Gilead, beyond the Jordan, took his rest, but, Dan, wherefore remained he with the ships? Asher, abode by the shore of the seas, and, by his creeks, must needs rest.
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。
Zebulun—a people that scorned their souls unto death; and, Naphtali, —upon the heights of the field.
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。
On came kings, they fought, Then, fought the kings of Canaan, In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo, —Plunder of silver, they took not away!
20 星宿从天上争战， 从其轨道攻击西西拉。
From heaven, was the battle fought, —The stars in their courses, fought against Sisera.
21 基顺古河把敌人冲没； 我的灵啊，应当努力前行。
The torrent of Kishon, swept them away, the torrent of olden times, the torrent of Kishon! Let my soul march along, with victorious strength!
22 那时壮马驰驱， 踢跳，奔腾。
Then, stamped hoofs of horses, With the gallopings, gallopings of his mighty steeds.
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。
Curse ye Meroz, saith the messenger of Yahweh, Curse ye with a curse, the inhabitants thereof, —because they came not in to the help of Yahweh, to the help of Yahweh, against 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 above women, shall be Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite, —Above women in the tent, be blessed:
25 西西拉求水， 雅亿给他奶子， 用宝贵的盘子给他奶油。
Water, he asked, Milk, she gave, —In a bowl for nobles, presented cream:
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。
Her hand, to the tent-pin, put she forth, and, her right hand, to the toilers’ mallet, —Then smote she Sisera, She shattered his head, Yea she split open and pierced 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。
Between her feet, he bowed—he fell, he lay, —Between her feet, he bowed—he fell, Where he bowed, There, he fell—destroyed!
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？
Through the window, looked out and shrilly cried, The mother of Sisera, through the lattice, —Why is his chariot ashamed to come? Why delay the wheels of his chariot?
29 聪明的宫女安慰她， 她也自言自语地说：
The wise ladies, her princesses, responded, —Nay! she, returned answer to, herself: —
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。
Is it not They keep finding—dividing spoil, One damsel, two damsels, to every several hero, Spoil, of divers coloured raiment for Sisera, Spoil, of divers coloured raiment, embroidered, Coloured raiment richly embroidered, on the necks of them who are taken as spoil?
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。
So, perish all thine enemies, O Yahweh, But be, they who love him, as the going forth of the sun, in his might! And the land had rest forty years.
