Judges 5
1 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
cecineruntque Debbora et Barac filius Abinoem in die illo dicentes
2 That the leaders took the lead in Israel, that the people offered themselves willingly, bless ye Jehovah.
qui sponte obtulistis de Israhel animas vestras ad periculum benedicite Domino
3 Hear, O ye kings. Give ear, O ye rulers. I, even I, will sing to Jehovah. I will sing praise to Jehovah, the God of Israel.
audite reges percipite auribus principes ego sum ego sum quae Domino canam psallam Domino Deo Israhel
4 Jehovah, when thou went forth out of Seir, when thou marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, yea, the clouds dropped water.
Domine cum exires de Seir et transires per regiones Edom terra mota est caelique ac nubes stillaverunt aquis
5 The mountains quaked at the presence of Jehovah, even yon Sinai at the presence of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
montes fluxerunt a facie Domini et Sinai a facie Domini Dei Israhel
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travelers walked through byways.
in diebus Samgar filii Anath in diebus Iahel quieverunt semitae et qui ingrediebantur per eas ambulaverunt per calles devios
7 The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, until that I, Deborah, arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
cessaverunt fortes in Israhel et quieverunt donec surgeret Debbora surgeret mater in Israhel
8 They chose new gods, then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
nova bella elegit Dominus et portas hostium ipse subvertit clypeus et hasta si apparuerint in quadraginta milibus Israhel
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye Jehovah.
cor meum diligit principes Israhel qui propria voluntate obtulistis vos discrimini benedicite Domino
10 Tell, ye who ride on white donkeys, ye who sit on rich carpets, and ye who walk by the way.
qui ascenditis super nitentes asinos et sedetis in iudicio et ambulatis in via loquimini
11 Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they shall rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.
ubi conlisi sunt currus et hostium est suffocatus exercitus ibi narrentur iustitiae Domini et clementia in fortes Israhel tunc descendit populus Domini ad portas et obtinuit principatum
12 Awake, awake, Deborah, awake, awake, utter a song. Arise, Barak, and lead away thy captives, thou son of Abinoam.
surge surge Debbora surge surge et loquere canticum surge Barac et adprehende captivos tuos fili Abinoem
13 Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down. Jehovah came down for me against the mighty.
salvatae sunt reliquiae populi Dominus in fortibus dimicavit
14 Out of Ephraim, those whose root is in Amalek, after thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples, out of Machir, came down governors, and out of Zebulun those who handle the marshal's staff.
ex Ephraim delevit eos in Amalech et post eum ex Beniamin in populos tuos o Amalech de Machir principes descenderunt et de Zabulon qui exercitum ducerent ad bellandum
15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah, as was Issachar, so was Barak, into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben there were great resolves of heart.
duces Isachar fuere cum Debbora et Barac vestigia sunt secuti qui quasi in praeceps ac baratrum se discrimini dedit diviso contra se Ruben magnanimorum repperta contentio est
16 Why did thou sit among the sheepfolds, to hear the pipings for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
quare habitas inter duos terminos ut audias sibilos gregum diviso contra se Ruben magnanimorum repperta contentio est
17 Gilead abode beyond the Jordan. And Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and abode by his creeks.
Galaad trans Iordanem quiescebat et Dan vacabat navibus Aser habitabat in litore maris et in portibus morabatur
18 Zebulun was a people who jeopardized their lives to the death, and Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.
Zabulon vero et Nepthalim obtulerunt animas suas morti in regione Merome
19 The kings came and fought. Then the kings of Canaan fought in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no gain of money.
venerunt reges et pugnaverunt pugnaverunt reges Chanaan in Thanach iuxta aquas Mageddo et tamen nihil tulere praedantes
20 From heaven the stars fought; from their courses they fought against Sisera.
de caelo dimicatum est contra eos stellae manentes in ordine et cursu suo adversum Sisaram pugnaverunt
21 The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, march on with strength.
torrens Cison traxit cadavera eorum torrens Cadumim torrens Cison conculca anima mea robustos
22 Then the horse hoofs stamped by reason of the prancings, the prancings of their strong ones.
ungulae equorum ceciderunt fugientibus impetu et per praeceps ruentibus fortissimis hostium
23 Curse ye Meroz, said the agent of Jehovah. Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants of it, because they did not come to the help of Jehovah, to the help of Jehovah against the mighty.
maledicite terrae Meroz dixit angelus Domini maledicite habitatoribus eius quia non venerunt ad auxilium Domini in adiutorium fortissimorum eius
24 Blessed above women shall Jael be, the wife of Heber the Kenite. Blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
benedicta inter mulieres Iahel uxor Aber Cinei benedicatur in tabernaculo suo
25 He asked water. She gave him milk. She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
aquam petenti lac dedit et in fiala principum obtulit butyrum
26 She put her hand to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer. And with the hammer she smote Sisera; she struck through his head. Yea, she pierced and struck through his temples.
sinistram manum misit ad clavum et dexteram ad fabrorum malleos percussitque Sisaram quaerens in capite vulneri locum et tempus valide perforans
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he bowed, he fell. Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
inter pedes eius ruit defecit et mortuus est ante pedes illius volvebatur et iacebat exanimis et miserabilis
28 Through the window she looked forth, and cried-the mother of Sisera through the lattice-Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why do the wheels of his chariots delay?
per fenestram prospiciens ululabat mater eius et de cenaculo loquebatur cur moratur regredi currus eius quare tardaverunt pedes quadrigarum illius
29 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
una sapientior ceteris uxoribus eius haec socrui verba respondit
30 Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A damsel, two damsels to every man, to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments embroidered, of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the spoil?
forsitan nunc dividit spolia et pulcherrima feminarum eligitur ei vestes diversorum colorum Sisarae traduntur in praedam et supellex varia ad ornanda colla congeritur
31 So let all thine enemies perish, O Jehovah, but let those who love him be as the sun when he goes forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
sic pereant omnes inimici tui Domine qui autem diligunt te sicut sol in ortu suo splendet ita rutilent quievitque terra per quadraginta annos
