士師記 5
1 那時，底波拉和亞比挪菴的兒子巴拉作歌，說：
Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that 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！
"Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, Jehovah.
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。
"Hear, you kings. Give ear, you princes. I, even I, will sing to Jehovah. I will sing praise to Jehovah, the 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。
"Jehovah, when you went forth out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the sky also dropped. Yes, the clouds 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 mountains quaked at the presence of Jehovah, even Sinai, at the presence of Jehovah, the 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 days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through byways.
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 rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose 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 war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in 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！
My heart is toward the leaders of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Jehovah.
10 騎白驢的、坐繡花毯子的、行路的， 你們都當傳揚！
"Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on saddle blankets, and you who walk 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。
Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they will rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. "Then the people of Jehovah went down 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。
'Awake, awake, Deborah. Awaken the multitudes of a nation. Awake, awake, sing a song. Be strong. Arise, Barak. And Deborah, strengthen Barak. And lead away your captives, son 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。
"Then a remnant of the nobles came down. The people of Jehovah marched down to me against the mighty.
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；
From Ephraim those who uprooted Amalek came out, following you, Benjamin, among your peoples; out of Makir leaders came down, and out of Zebulun those that handle the staff of office.
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. As was Issachar, so was Barak. They rushed into the valley at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben, there were great resolves 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 did you sit among the sheepfolds, to hear the piping for the flocks? At the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings 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 lived beyond the Jordan. Why did Dan remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and lived by his harbors.
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。
Zebulun was a people that risked their lives even to death; Naphtali also, on the high 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 the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no plunder of silver.
20 星宿從天上爭戰， 從其軌道攻擊西西拉。
From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
21 基順古河把敵人沖沒； 我的靈啊，應當努力前行。
The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
22 那時壯馬馳驅， 踢跳，奔騰。
Then the horse hoofs pounded because of the galloping, the galloping of their steeds.
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 Meroz, said the angel of Jehovah. Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they did not come to help Jehovah, to help Jehovah 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。
Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 西西拉求水， 雅億給他奶子， 用寶貴的盤子給他奶油。
He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him curds in a princely bowl.
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 tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer. She struck Sisera, she pierced his head; she shattered and struck through his temple.
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。
At her feet he collapsed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he collapsed, he fell. Where he collapsed, there he fell down, destroyed.
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？
Through the window she looked out. Sisera's mother cried out through the lattice, 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why are the hoofbeats of his chariots delayed?'
29 聰明的宮女安慰她， 她也自言自語地說：
Her wise princesses answered her; indeed, she answers herself,
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。
'Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A womb or two for every man; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, A spoil of dyed garments embroidered, Of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, for the neck of the plunderer?'
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 your enemies perish, Jehovah, but let those who love you be as the sun when it rises forth in its strength." And the land had rest forty years.
