Judges 5
1 On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:
その日デボラとアビノアムの子バラク謳ひていはく
2 “When the princes take the lead in Israel, when the people volunteer, bless the LORD.
イスラエルの首長みちびきをなし民また好んで出でたればヱホバを頌美よ
3 Listen, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.
もろもろの王よ聽けもろもろの伯よ耳をかたぶけよ我はそのヱホバに謳はん我はイスラエルの神ヱホバを讚へん
4 O LORD, when You went out from Seir, when You marched from the land of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens poured out rain, and the clouds poured down water.
ああヱホバよ汝セイルより出でエドムの野より進みたまひしとき地震ひ天また滴りて雲水を滴らせたり
5 The mountains quaked before the LORD, the One of Sinai, before the LORD, the God of Israel.
もろもろの山はヱホバのまへに撼動ぎ彼のシナイもイスラエルの神ヱホバのまへに撼動げり
6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were deserted and the travelers took the byways.
アナテの子シヤムガルのときまたヤエルの時には大路は通行る者なく途行く人は徑を歩み
7 Life in the villages ceased; it ended in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose, a mother in Israel.
イスラエルの村莊には住者なく住む者あらずなりけるがつひに我デボラ起れり我起りてイスラエルに母となる
8 When they chose new gods, then war came to their gates. Not a shield or spear was found among forty thousand in Israel.
人々新しき神を選みければ戰鬪門におよべりイスラエルの四萬人のうちに盾或は鎗の見しことあらんや
9 My heart is with the princes of Israel, with the volunteers among the people. Bless the LORD!
吾が心は民のうちに好んでいでたるイスラエルの有司等に傾けり汝らヱホバを頌美よ
10 You who ride white donkeys, who sit on saddle blankets, and you who travel the road, ponder
しろき驢馬に乗るもの毛氈に坐するものおよび路歩む人よ汝ら謳ふべし
11 the voices of the singers at the watering places. There they shall recount the righteous acts of the LORD, the righteous deeds of His villagers in Israel. Then the people of the LORD went down to the gates:
矢叫の聲に遠かり水汲むところにおいてヱホバの義しき所爲をとなへそのイスラエルを治理めたまふ義しき所爲を唱へよその時ヱホバの民は門に下れり
12 ‘Awake, awake, O Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, O Barak, and take hold of your captives, O son of Abinoam!’
興よ起よデボラ興よ起よ歌を謳ふべし起てよバラク汝の俘虜を擄きたれアビノアムの子よ
13 Then the survivors came down to the nobles; the people of the LORD came down to me against the mighty.
其時民の首長等の殘餘者くだり來るヱホバ勇士の中にいまして我にくだりたまふ
14 Some came from Ephraim, with their roots in Amalek; Benjamin came with your people after you. The commanders came down from Machir, the bearers of the marshal’s staff from Zebulun.
エフライムより出る者ありその根アマレクにありベニヤミン汝のあとにつきて汝の民の中にありマキルよりは牧伯下りゼブルンよりは采配を執るものいたる
15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah, and Issachar was with Barak, rushing into the valley at his heels. In the clans of Reuben there was great indecision.
イッサカルの伯たちはデボラとともに居るイッサカルはバラクとおなじく足の進みて平地に至るルベンの河邊にて大に心にはかる事あり
16 Why did you sit among the sheepfolds to hear the whistling for the flocks? In the clans of Reuben there was great indecision.
何故に汝は圈のうちに止まりて羊の群に笛吹くを聽くやルベンの河邊にて大に心に考ふることあり
17 Gilead remained beyond the Jordan. Dan, why did you linger by the ships? Asher stayed at the coast and remained in his harbors.
ギレアデはヨルダンの彼方に臥し居る何故にダンは舟のかたはらに止まりしやアセルは濱邊に坐してその港に臥し居る
18 Zebulun was a people who risked their lives; Naphtali, too, on the heights of the battlefield.
ゼブルンは生命を捐て死を冒せる民なり野の高きところに居るナフタリまた是の如し
19 Kings came and fought; then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, but they took no plunder of silver.
もろもろの王來りて戰へる時にカナンのもろもろの王メギドンの水の邊においてタアナクに戰へり彼ら一片の貨幣をも獲ざりき
20 From the heavens the stars fought; from their courses they fought against Sisera.
天よりこれを攻るものありもろもろの星其の道を離れてシセラを攻む
21 The River Kishon swept them away, the ancient river, the River Kishon. March on, O my soul, in strength!
キシオンの河之を押し流しぬ是彼の古への河キシオンの河なりわが靈魂よ汝ますます勇みて進め
22 Then the hooves of horses thundered— the mad galloping of his stallions.
その時馬の蹄は強きももの馳に馳るに由りて地を踏鳴せり
23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ says the angel of the LORD. ‘Bitterly curse her inhabitants; for they did not come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty.’
ヱホバの使いひけるはメロズを詛ふべし汝ら重ね重ねその民を詛ふべきなり彼等來りてヱホバを助けずヱホバを助けて猛者を攻めざればなり
24 Most blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, most blessed of tent-dwelling women.
ケニ人ヘベルの妻ヤエルは婦女のうちの最も頌むべき者なり彼は天幕に居る婦女のうち最も頌むべきものなり
25 He asked for water, and she gave him milk. In a magnificent bowl she brought him curds.
シセラ水を乞ふにヤエル乳を與ふ即ち貴き盤に乳の油を盛てささぐ
26 She reached for the tent peg, her right hand for the workman’s hammer. She struck Sisera and crushed his skull; she shattered and pierced his temple.
ヤエル釘子に手をかけ右の手に重き椎をとりてシセラを打ちその頭を碎きその鬢のあたりをうちて貫ぬく
27 At her feet he collapsed, he fell, there he lay still; at her feet he collapsed, he fell; where he collapsed, there he fell dead.
シセラ、ヤエルの足の間に屈みて仆れ偃しその足のあはひに屈みて仆れその屈みたる所にて仆れ亡ぬ
28 Sisera’s mother looked through the window; she peered through the lattice and lamented: ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? What has delayed the clatter of his chariots?’
シセラの母窓より望み格子のうちより叫びて言ふ彼が車のきたること何て遲きや彼が馬の歩何てはかどらざるやと
29 Her wisest ladies answer; indeed she keeps telling herself,
その賢き侍女こたへをなす（母また獨語して斯いへり）
30 ‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoil— a girl or two for each warrior, a plunder of dyed garments for Sisera, the spoil of embroidered garments for the neck of the looter?’
かれら獲ものしてこれを分たざらんや人ごとに一人二人の女子を獲んシセラの獲るものは彩る衣ならんその獲る者は彩る衣にして文繍を施せる者ならん即ち彩りて兩面に文繍をほどこせる衣をえてその頸にまとはんと
31 So may all your enemies perish, O LORD! But may those who love You shine like the sun at its brightest.” And the land had rest for forty years.
ヱホバよ汝の敵みな是のごとくに亡びよかしまたヱホバを愛するものは日の眞盛に昇るが如くなれよかし とかくて後國は四十年のあひだ太平なりき
