士師記 5
1 那時，底波拉和亞比挪菴的兒子巴拉作歌，說：
Then sang Deborah, and Barak the sonne of Abinoam the same day, saying,
2 因為以色列中有軍長率領， 百姓也甘心犧牲自己， 你們應當頌讚耶和華！
Praise ye the Lord for the auenging of Israel, and for the people that offred themselues willingly.
3 君王啊，要聽！ 王子啊，要側耳而聽！ 我要向耶和華歌唱； 我要歌頌耶和華－以色列的上帝。
Heare, ye Kings, hearken ye princes: I, euen I will sing vnto the Lord: I will sing praise vnto the Lord God of Israel.
4 耶和華啊，你從西珥出來， 由以東地行走。 那時地震天漏， 雲也落雨。
Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou departedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heauens rained, the cloudes also dropped water.
5 山見耶和華的面就震動， 西奈山見耶和華－以色列上帝的面也是如此。
The mountaines melted before the Lord, as did that Sinai before the Lord God of Israel.
6 在亞拿之子珊迦的時候， 又在雅億的日子， 大道無人行走， 都是繞道而行。
In the dayes of Shamgar the sonne of Anath, in the dayes of Iael the hie wayes were vnoccupied, and the trauelers walked through by wayes.
7 以色列中的官長停職， 直到我底波拉興起， 等我興起作以色列的母。
The townes were not inhabited: they decayed, I say, in Israel, vntill I Deborah came vp, which rose vp a mother in Israel.
8 以色列人選擇新神， 爭戰的事就臨到城門。 那時，以色列四萬人中 豈能見盾牌槍矛呢？
They chose new gods: then was warre in the gates. Was there a shielde or speare seene among fourtie thousand of Israel?
9 我心傾向以色列的首領， 他們在民中甘心犧牲自己。 你們應當頌讚耶和華！
Mine heart is set on the gouernours of Israel, and on them that are willing among the people: praise ye the Lord.
10 騎白驢的、坐繡花毯子的、行路的， 你們都當傳揚！
Speake ye that ride on white asses, yee that dwel by Middin, and that walke by the way.
11 在遠離弓箭響聲打水之處， 人必述說耶和華公義的作為， 就是他治理以色列公義的作為。 那時耶和華的民下到城門。
For the noyse of the archers appaised among the drawers of water: there shall they rehearse the righteousnesse of the Lord, his righteousnesse of his townes in Israel: then did the people of the Lord goe downe to the gates.
12 底波拉啊，興起！興起！ 你當興起，興起，唱歌。 亞比挪菴的兒子巴拉啊，你當奮興， 擄掠你的敵人。
Vp Deborah, vp, arise, and sing a song: arise Barak, and leade thy captiuitie captiue, thou sonne of Abinoam.
13 那時有餘剩的貴冑和百姓一同下來； 耶和華降臨，為我攻擊勇士。
For they that remaine, haue dominio ouer the mightie of the people: the Lord hath giuen me dominion ouer the strong.
14 有根本在亞瑪力人的地， 從以法蓮下來的； 便雅憫在民中跟隨你。 有掌權的從瑪吉下來； 有持杖檢點民數的從西布倫下來；
Of Ephraim their roote arose against Amalek: and after thee, Beniamin shall fight against thy people, O Amalek: of Machir came rulers, and of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
15 以薩迦的首領與底波拉同來； 以薩迦怎樣，巴拉也怎樣。 眾人都跟隨巴拉衝下平原； 在呂便的溪水旁有心中定大志的。
And the Princes of Issachar were with Deborah, and Issachar, and also Barak: he was set on his feete in the valley: for the diuisions of Reuben were great thoughts of heart.
16 你為何坐在羊圈內 聽群中吹笛的聲音呢？ 在呂便的溪水旁有心中設大謀的。
Why abodest thou among the sheepefolds, to heare the bleatings of the flockes? for the diuisions of Reuben were great thoughts of heart.
17 基列人安居在約旦河外。 但人為何等在船上？ 亞設人在海口靜坐， 在港口安居。
Gilead abode beyonde Iorden: and why doeth Dan remayne in shippes? Asher sate on the sea shoare, and taryed in his decayed places.
18 西布倫人是拚命敢死的； 拿弗他利人在田野的高處也是如此。
But the people of Zebulun and Naphtali haue ieopard their liues vnto the death in the hie places of the field.
19 君王都來爭戰。 那時迦南諸王在米吉多水旁的他納爭戰， 卻未得擄掠銀錢。
The Kings came and fought: then fought the Kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: they receiued no gaine of money.
20 星宿從天上爭戰， 從其軌道攻擊西西拉。
They fought from heauen, euen the starres in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 基順古河把敵人沖沒； 我的靈啊，應當努力前行。
The Riuer Kishon swepe them away, that ancient riuer the riuer Kishon. O my soule, thou hast marched valiantly.
22 那時壯馬馳驅， 踢跳，奔騰。
Then were the horsehooues broken with the oft beating together of their mightie men.
23 耶和華的使者說： 應當咒詛米羅斯， 大大咒詛其中的居民； 因為他們不來幫助耶和華， 不來幫助耶和華攻擊勇士。
Curse ye Meroz: (sayd the Angel of the Lord) curse the inhabitantes thereof, because they came not to helpe the Lord, to helpe the Lord against the mighty.
24 願基尼人希百的妻雅億比眾婦人多得福氣， 比住帳棚的婦人更蒙福祉。
Iael the wife of Heber the Kenite shall be blessed aboue other women: blessed shall she be aboue women dwelling in tentes.
25 西西拉求水， 雅億給他奶子， 用寶貴的盤子給他奶油。
He asked water, and shee gaue him milke: she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
26 雅億左手拿着帳棚的橛子， 右手拿着匠人的錘子， 擊打西西拉， 打傷他的頭， 把他的鬢角打破穿通。
She put her hand to the naile, and her right hand to the workemans hammer: with the hammer smote she Sisera: she smote off his head, after she had wounded, and pearsed his temples.
27 西西拉在她腳前曲身仆倒， 在她腳前曲身倒臥； 在那裏曲身，就在那裏死亡。
He bowed him downe at her feete, he fell downe, and lay still: at her feete hee bowed him downe, and fell: and when he had sunke downe, he lay there dead.
28 西西拉的母親從窗戶裏往外觀看， 從窗櫺中呼叫說： 他的戰車為何耽延不來呢？ 他的車輪為何行得慢呢？
The mother of Sisera looked out at a windowe, and cryed thorowe the lattesse, Why is his charet so long a comming? why tary the wheeles of his charets?
29 聰明的宮女安慰她， 她也自言自語地說：
Her wise ladies answered her, Yea. Shee answered her selfe with her owne wordes,
30 他們莫非得財而分？ 每人得了一兩個女子？ 西西拉得了彩衣為擄物， 得繡花的彩衣為掠物。 這彩衣兩面繡花， 乃是披在被擄之人頸項上的。
Haue they not gotten, and they deuide the spoyle? euery man hath a mayde or two. Sisera hath a praye of diuers coloured garmentes, a pray of sundry colours made of needle worke: of diuers colours of needle worke on both sides, for the chiefe of the spoyle.
31 耶和華啊， 願你的仇敵都這樣滅亡！ 願愛你的人如日頭出現，光輝烈烈！ 這樣，國中太平四十年。
So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but they that loue him, shall be as the Sunne when he riseth in his might, and the lande had rest fourtie yeres.
