< Judges 5 >

1 Then sang Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, on that day, saying,
那时,底波拉和亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉作歌,说:
2 For that leaders led in Israel, For that the people willingly offered themselves, Bless Jehovah!
因为以色列中有军长率领, 百姓也甘心牺牲自己, 你们应当颂赞耶和华!
3 Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, [even] I, will sing to Jehovah; I will hymn to Jehovah the God of Israel.
君王啊,要听! 王子啊,要侧耳而听! 我要向耶和华歌唱; 我要歌颂耶和华—以色列的 神。
4 Jehovah, when thou wentest forth from Seir, When thou marchedst out of the fields of Edom, The earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, Yea, the clouds dropped water.
耶和华啊,你从西珥出来, 由以东地行走。 那时地震天漏, 云也落雨。
5 The mountains quaked before the face of Jehovah, That Sinai, from before Jehovah the God of Israel.
山见耶和华的面就震动, 西奈山见耶和华—以色列 神的面也是如此。
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, The roads were unused, and the travellers on highways went by crooked paths.
在亚拿之子珊迦的时候, 又在雅亿的日子, 大道无人行走, 都是绕道而行。
7 The villages ceased in Israel, Ceased until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother in Israel.
以色列中的官长停职, 直到我底波拉兴起, 等我兴起作以色列的母。
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
以色列人选择新神, 争战的事就临到城门。 那时,以色列四万人中 岂能见盾牌枪矛呢?
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Jehovah!
我心倾向以色列的首领, 他们在民中甘心牺牲自己。 你们应当颂赞耶和华!
10 Ye that ride on white she-asses, ye that sit on carpets, and ye that walk by the way, consider.
骑白驴的、坐绣花毯子的、行路的, 你们都当传扬!
11 Because of the voice of those who divide [the spoil] in the midst of the places of drawing water; There they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, His righteous acts toward his villages in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.
在远离弓箭响声打水之处, 人必述说耶和华公义的作为, 就是他治理以色列公义的作为。 那时耶和华的民下到城门。
12 Awake, awake, Deborah! awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead captive thy captives, thou son of Abinoam!
底波拉啊,兴起!兴起! 你当兴起,兴起,唱歌。 亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉啊,你当奋兴, 掳掠你的敌人。
13 Then come down, thou, the remnant of nobles, [as his] people; Jehovah! come down with me in the midst of the mighty ones.
那时有余剩的贵胄和百姓一同下来; 耶和华降临,为我攻击勇士。
14 Out of Ephraim [came] those whose root was in Amalek; After thee was Benjamin among thy peoples. Out of Machir came down governors, And out of Zebulun they that handled the staff of the ruler.
有根本在亚玛力人的地, 从以法莲下来的; 便雅悯在民中跟随你。 有掌权的从玛吉下来; 有持杖检点民数的从西布伦下来;
15 And the princes in Issachar were with Deborah; And Issachar, like Barak; They were sent into the valley at his feet. In the divisions of Reuben there were great resolves of heart!
以萨迦的首领与底波拉同来; 以萨迦怎样,巴拉也怎样。 众人都跟随巴拉冲下平原; 在吕便的溪水旁有心中定大志的。
16 Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, To hear the bleating of the flocks? In the divisions of Reuben there were great deliberations of heart!
你为何坐在羊圈内 听群中吹笛的声音呢? 在吕便的溪水旁有心中设大谋的。
17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan; And Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat on the sea-shore, And abode in his creeks.
基列人安居在约旦河外。 但人为何等在船上? 亚设人在海口静坐, 在港口安居。
18 Zebulun is a people [that] jeoparded their lives unto death, Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
西布伦人是拚命敢死的; 拿弗他利人在田野的高处也是如此。
19 Kings came, — they fought; Then fought the kings of Canaan; At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; They took no spoil of silver.
君王都来争战。 那时迦南诸王在米吉多水旁的他纳争战, 却未得掳掠银钱。
20 From heaven was the fight; The stars from their courses fought with Sisera.
星宿从天上争战, 从其轨道攻击西西拉。
21 The torrent of Kishon swept them away, That ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. My soul, thou hast trodden down strength!
基顺古河把敌人冲没; 我的灵啊,应当努力前行。
22 Then did the horse-hoofs clatter with the coursings, The coursings of their steeds.
那时壮马驰驱, 踢跳,奔腾。
23 Curse Meroz, saith the Angel of Jehovah; Curse, curse the inhabitants thereof; For they came not to the help of Jehovah, To the help of Jehovah among the mighty.
耶和华的使者说: 应当咒诅米罗斯, 大大咒诅其中的居民; 因为他们不来帮助耶和华, 不来帮助耶和华攻击勇士。
24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, Blessed above women in the tent!
愿基尼人希百的妻雅亿比众妇人多得福气, 比住帐棚的妇人更蒙福祉。
25 He asked water, she gave milk; In the nobles' bowl she brought forth cream.
西西拉求水, 雅亿给他奶子, 用宝贵的盘子给他奶油。
26 She put her hand to the tent-pin, And her right hand to the workmen's hammer; And she smote Sisera, she struck through his head, Shattered and pierced through his temples.
雅亿左手拿着帐棚的橛子, 右手拿着匠人的锤子, 击打西西拉, 打伤他的头, 把他的鬓角打破穿通。
27 Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell, overcome.
西西拉在她脚前曲身仆倒, 在她脚前曲身倒卧; 在那里曲身,就在那里死亡。
28 Them other of Sisera looketh out at the window, And crieth through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the trampings of his chariots?
西西拉的母亲从窗户里往外观看, 从窗棂中呼叫说: 他的战车为何耽延不来呢? 他的车轮为何行得慢呢?
29 The wise amongst her ladies answer [her], Yea, she returneth answer to herself,
聪明的宫女安慰她, 她也自言自语地说:
30 Have they not found, divided the booty, A damsel, two damsels, to each? A booty of dyed stuffs for Sisera, A booty of dyed stuffs of embroidery, Dyed stuff of double embroidery for the neck of a spoiler?
他们莫非得财而分? 每人得了一两个女子? 西西拉得了彩衣为掳物, 得绣花的彩衣为掠物。 这彩衣两面绣花, 乃是披在被掳之人颈项上的。
31 So let all thine enemies perish, Jehovah! But let them that love him be as the rising of the sun in its might. And the land had rest forty years.
耶和华啊, 愿你的仇敌都这样灭亡! 愿爱你的人如日头出现,光辉烈烈! 这样,国中太平四十年。
