< Judges 4 >

1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of the Lord when Ehud was dead.
エホデの死たるのちイスラエルの子孫復ヱホバの目前に惡を行しかば
2 And the Lord gave them up into the hands of Jabin, king of Canaan, who was ruling in Hazor; the captain of his army was Sisera, who was living in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
ヱホバ、ハゾルにて世を治むるカナンの王ヤビンの手に之を賣たまふヤビンの軍勢の長はシセラといふ彼異邦人のハロセテに住居り
3 Then the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord; for he had nine hundred iron war-carriages, and for twenty years he was very cruel to the children of Israel.
鐵の戰車九百輌を有居て二十年の間イスラエルの子孫を甚だしく虐げしかばイスラエルの子孫ヱホバに呼はれり
4 Now Deborah, a woman prophet, the wife of Lapidoth, was judge of Israel at that time.
當時ラピドテの妻なる預言者デボラ、イスラエルの士師なりき
5 (And she had her seat under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her to be judged.)
彼エフライムの山のラマとベテルの間に在るデボラの棕櫚の樹の下に坐せりイスラエルの子孫はその許に上りて審判を受く
6 And she sent for Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Has not the Lord, the God of Israel, given orders saying, Go and get your force into line in Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
デボラ人をつかはしてケデシ、ナフタリよりアビノアムの子バラクを招きこれにいひけるはイスラエルの神ヱホバ汝に斯く命じたまふにあらずやいはく汝ナフタリの子孫とゼブルンの子孫とを一萬人ひきゐゆきてタボル山におもむけ
7 And I will make Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his war-carriages and his forces, come against you at the river Kishon, where I will give him into your hands.
我ヤビンの軍勢の長シセラおよびその戰車とその群衆とをキシオン河に引き寄せて汝のもとに至らせ之を汝の手に付すべし
8 And Barak said to her, If you will go with me then I will go; but if you will not go with me I will not go.
バラク之にいひけるは汝もし我とともにゆかば我往べし然ど汝もし我とともに行ずば我行ざるべし
9 And she said, I will certainly go with you: though you will get no honour in your undertaking, for the Lord will give Sisera into the hands of a woman. So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.
デボラいひけるは我かならず汝とともに往くべし然ど汝は今往くところの途にては榮譽を得ることなからんヱホバ婦人の手にシセラを賣りたまふべければなりとデボラすなはち起ちてバラクと共にケデシに往けり
10 Then Barak sent for Zebulun and Naphtali to come to Kedesh; and ten thousand men went up after him, and Deborah went up with him.
バラク、ゼブルンとナフタリをケデシに招き一萬人を從へて上るデボラもまた之とともに上れり
11 Now Heber the Kenite, separating himself from the rest of the Kenites, from the children of Hobab, the brother-in-law of Moses, had put up his tent as far away as the oak-tree in Zaanannim, by Kedesh.
ここにケニ人ヘベルといふ者あり彼はモーセの外舅ホバブの裔なるがケニを離れてケデシの邊なるザアナイムの橡の樹のかたはらにその天幕を張り居たり
12 And word was given to Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, had gone up to Mount Tabor.
衆アビノアムの子バラクがタボル山に上れるよしをシセラに告げたりければ
13 So Sisera got together all his war-carriages, nine hundred war-carriages of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles as far as the river Kishon.
シセラそのすべての戰車すなはち鐵の戰車九百輌およびおのれとともに在るすべての民を異邦人のハロセテよりキシオン河に招き集へたり
14 Then Deborah said to Barak, Up! for today the Lord has given Sisera into your hands: has not the Lord gone out before you? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor and ten thousand men after him.
デボラ、バラクにいひけるは起よ是ヱホバがシセラを汝の手に付したまふ日なりヱホバ汝に先き立ちて出でたまひしにあらずやとバラクすなはち一萬人をしたがへてタボル山より下る
15 And the Lord sent fear on Sisera and all his war-carriages and all his army before Barak; and Sisera got down from his war-carriage and went in flight on foot.
ヱホバ刃をもてシセラとその諸の戰車およびその全軍をバラクの前に打敗りたまひたればシセラ戰車より飛び下り徒歩になりて遁れ走れり
16 But Barak went after the war-carriages and the army as far as Harosheth of the Gentiles; and all Sisera's army was put to the sword; not a man got away.
バラク戰車と軍勢とを追ひ撃て異邦人のハロセテに至れりシセラの軍勢は悉く刃にたふれて殘れるもの一人もなかりしが
17 But Sisera went in flight on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin, king of Hazor, and the family of Heber the Kenite.
シセラは徒歩にて奔りケニ人ヘベルの妻ヤエルの天幕に來れり是はハゾルの王ヤビンとケニ人ヘベルの家とは互ひに睦じかりしゆゑなり
18 And Jael went out to Sisera, and said to him, Come in, my lord, come in to me without fear. So he went into her tent, and she put a cover over him.
ヤエル出來りてシセラを迎へ之にいひけるは來れわが主よ入り來れ怖るるなかれとシセラその天幕に入たればヤエル被をもてこれを覆へり
19 Then he said to her, Give me now a little water, for I have need of a drink. And opening a skin of milk, she gave him drink, and put the cover over him again.
シセラ之にいひけるはねがはくは少しの水をわれに飮ませよ我渇けりとヤエルすなはち乳嚢を啓きて之に飮ませまた之を覆へり
20 And he said to her, Take your place at the door of the tent, and if anyone comes and says to you, Is there any man here, say, No.
シセラまた之にいひけるは天幕の門邊に立て居れもし人來り汝にとふて誰かここに居るやといはば否と答ふべしと
21 Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent-pin and a hammer and went up to him quietly, driving the pin into his head, and it went through his head into the earth, for he was in a deep sleep from weariness; and so he came to his end.
彼疲れて熟睡せしかばヘベルの妻ヤエル天幕の釘子を取り手に鎚を携へてそのかたはらに忍び寄り鬢のあたりに釘子をうちこみて地に刺し通したればシセラすなはち死たり
22 Then Jael went out, and meeting Barak going after Sisera, said to him, Come, and I will let you see the man you are searching for. So he came into her tent and saw, and there was Sisera stretched out dead with the tent-pin in his head.
バラク、シセラを追ひ來りしときヤエル之を出でむかへていひけるは來れ我汝の索るところの人を示さんとかれそのところに入て見にシセラ鬢のあたりに釘子うたれて死たふれをる
23 So that day God overcame Jabin, king of Canaan, before the children of Israel.
その日に神カナンの王ヤビンをイスラエルの子孫のまへに打敗りたまへり
24 And the power of the children of Israel went on increasing against Jabin, king of Canaan, till he was cut off.
かくてイスラエルの子孫の手ますます強くなりてカナンの王ヤビンに勝ちつひにカナンの王ヤビンを亡ぼすに至れり
