Judges 5
1 That day Deborah and Barak, son of Abinoam, sang this song:
| وَأَنْشَدَتْ دَبُورَةُ وَبَارَاقُ بْنُ أَبِينُوعَمَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَائِلَيْنِ: | ١ |
2 “Israel's leaders took charge, and the people were totally committed. Praise the Lord!
| بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ لأَنَّ الرُّؤَسَاءَ تَوَلَّوْا زِمَامَ الْقِيَادَةِ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ انْتَدَبُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ مُتَطَوِّعِينَ. | ٢ |
3 Listen, kings! Pay attention, rulers! I, yes I, will sing to the Lord; I will praise the Lord, the God of Israel, in song.
| فَاسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الْمُلُوكُ، وَأَصْغَوْا أَيُّهَا الأُمَرَاءُ، لأَنَّنِي أَنَا أَشْدُو لِلرَّبِّ، وَأُغَنِّي لإِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٣ |
4 Lord, when you set off from Seir, when you marched from the land of Edom, the earth shook, rain fell from the skies, the clouds poured down water.
| يَا رَبُّ، عِنْدَمَا خَرَجْتَ مِنْ سَعِيرَ وَتَقَدَّمْتَ مِنْ صَحْرَاءِ أَدُومَ، ارْتَعَدَتِ الأَرْضُ، وَسَكَبَتِ السَّمَاءُ أَمْطَارَهَا، وَقَطَرَتِ السُّحُبُ مَاءً. | ٤ |
5 The mountains melted in the presence of the Lord, the God of Sinai, in the presence of the Lord, the God of Israel.
| تَزَلْزَلَتِ الأَرْضُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ وَارْتَعَدَ جَبَلُ سِينَاءَ هَذَا مِنْ حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٥ |
6 In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, in the days of Jael, people didn't use the main highways and stayed on winding paths.
| فِي أَيَّامِ شَمْجَرَ بْنِ عَنَاةَ، وَفِيِ أَيَّامِ يَاعِيلَ هَجَرَ الْمُسَافِرُونَ الطُّرُقَ الْمَعْرُوفَةَ، وَلَجَأُوا إِلَى الْمَسَالِكِ الْمُلْتَوِيَةِ. | ٦ |
7 Village life in Israel was abandoned until I, Deborah, came on the scene as a mother in Israel.
| وَتَضَاءَلَ عَدَدُ سُكَّانِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى أَنْ صَارَتْ دَبُورَةُ أُمّاً لإِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٧ |
8 When the people chose new gods, then war arrived at their gates. Not even a shield or spear could be found among forty thousand warriors in Israel.
| عِنْدَمَا اخْتَارُوا آلِهَةً أُخْرَى نَشَبَتْ حَرْبٌ عِنْدَ بَوَّابَاتِ الْمَدِينَةِ، وَلَمْ يُشَاهَدْ تُرْسٌ أَوْ رُمْحٌ مَعَ أَيٍّ مِنَ الأَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفاً مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | ٨ |
9 My thoughts are with the Israelite commanders and those people who volunteered. Praise the Lord!
| قَلْبِي مَعَ قُضَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ ضَحَّوْا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ عَنْ رِضًى مِنْ بَيْنِ الشَّعْبِ، فَبَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ. | ٩ |
10 You people riding white donkeys, sitting on comfortable blankets, traveling down the road, notice
| أَيُّهَا الرَّاكِبُونَ الأُتُنَ الشُّهْبَ، الْجَالِسُونَ عَلَى طَنَافِسِ سُرُجِكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا السَّائِرُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، تَجَاوَبُوا. | ١٠ |
11 what people are talking about as they gather at the watering holes. They describe the Lord's just acts and those of his warriors in Israel. Then the people of the Lord went to the town gates.
| بِأَصْوَاتِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عِنْدَ سَواقِي الْمِيَاهِ يَتَغَنَّوْنَ بِانْتِصَارَاتِ الرَّبِّ وَشَعْبِهِ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، عِنْدَئِذٍ يَنْزِلُ شَعْبُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى بَوَّابَاتِ الْمَدِينَةِ. | ١١ |
12 ‘Wake up, Deborah, wake up! Wake up, wake up, sing a song! Get up, Barak! Capture your prisoners, son of Abinoam.’
| اسْتَيْقِظِي يَا دَبُورَةُ، اسْتَيْقِظِي وَاهْتِفِي بِنَشِيدٍ. قُمْ يَا بَارَاقُ، وَخُذْ سَبْيَكَ إِلَى الأَسْرِ، يَا ابْنَ أَبِينُوعَمَ. | ١٢ |
13 The survivors went to attack the nobles, the people of the Lord went to attack the powerful.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ أَقْبَلَ النَّاجُونَ إِلَى النُّبَلاءِ؛ انْحَدَرَ شَعْبُ الرَّبِّ وَالْتَفَّ حَوْلِي لِمُحَارَبَةِ الأَشِدَّاءِ. | ١٣ |
14 Some came from Ephraim, a land that used to belong to the Amalekites; the tribe of Benjamin followed you with its men. Commanders came Makir; from Zebulun came those who carry a military officer's staff.
| أَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ أَفْرَايِمَ حَيْثُ أُصُولُهُمْ بَيْنَ عَمَالِيقَ، وَفِي أَعْقَابِهِمْ جَاءَ شَعْبُ بِنْيَامِينَ. مِنْ مَاكِيرَ تَقَدَّمَ قُضَاةٌ، وَمِنْ زَبُولُونَ أَقْبَلَ حَامِلُو عَصَا الْقِيَادَةِ. | ١٤ |
15 The leaders of Issachar supported Deborah and Barak; they raced into the valley following Barak. But the tribe of Reuben was very undecided.
| جَاءَ رُؤَسَاءُ يَسَّاكَرَ مَعَ دَبُورَةَ وَأَخْلَصُوا لِبَارَاقَ، فَاقْتَحَمُوا الْوَادِي فِي أَعْقَابِهِ. أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ رَأُوبَيْنَ فَقَدِ اعْتَرَاهُمُ التَّخَاذُلُ وَالْحَيْرَةُ. | ١٥ |
16 Why did you stay at home in the sheepfolds, listening to shepherds whistling for their flocks? The tribe of Reuben really couldn't decide what to do.
| لِمَاذَا تَخَلَّفْتُمْ فِي حَظَائِرِكُمْ؟ أَلِتَسْمَعُوا صَفِيرَ الرُّعَاةِ إِلَى الْقُطْعَانِ؟ لَشَدَّ مَا تُسَامُ عَشَائِرُ رَأُوبَيْنَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الضَّمِيرِ. | ١٦ |
17 Gilead remained on the other side of Jordan. Dan stayed with his ships. Asher sat still on the seacoast, not moving from his ports.
| أَقَامَ جِلْعَادُ شَرْقِيَّ الأُرْدُنِّ، وَأَنْتَ يَا دَانُ لِمَاذَا اسْتَوْطَنْتَ عِنْدَ السُّفُنِ؟ وَبَقِيَ أَشِيرُ قَابِعاً عِنْدَ سَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ، وَانْطَوَى عِنْدَ خُلْجَانِهِ. | ١٧ |
18 The people of Zebulun risked their lives; as did Naphtali on the high battlefields.
| أَمَّا زَبُولُونُ وَنَفْتَالِي فَقَدْ عَرَّضَا حَيَاتَهُمَا لِلْمَوْتِ عِنْدَ رَوَابِي الْحَقْلِ. | ١٨ |
19 Kings came and fought, the Canaanite kings fought at Taanach near the waters of Megiddo, but they didn't get any silver plunder.
| احْتَشَدَ مُلُوكٌ وَحَارَبُوا، حَارَبَ مُلُوكُ كَنْعَانَ فِي تَعْنَكَ بِجِوَارِ مِيَاهِ مَجِدُّو، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَغْنَمُوا قِطْعَةَ فِضَّةٍ وَاحِدَةً. | ١٩ |
20 The stars fought from heaven. The stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
| مِنَ السَّمَاءِ حَارَبَتِ النُّجُومُ سِيسَرَا مِنْ مَسَارَاتِهَا. | ٢٠ |
21 The Kishon River swept them away—the old river turned into a raging torrent! I bravely march on!
| وَفَاضَتْ مِيَاهُ نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ الْقَدِيمِ وَجَرَفَتْ رِجَالَهُ؛ فَتَقَدَّمِي يَا نَفْسِي بِعِزٍّ. | ٢١ |
22 Then the horses' hooves flailed loudly, his stallions stampeded.
| ثُمَّ تَرَدَّدَ وَقْعُ حَوَافِرِ خَيْلِ الْعَدُوِّ، مِنْ عَدْوِ الْجِيَادِ الضَّخْمَةِ. | ٢٢ |
23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ says the angel of the Lord. ‘Totally curse those who live there, for they refused to come help the Lord, to help the Lord against the powerful enemies.’
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ مَلاكَ الرَّبِّ قَالَ: «الْعَنُوا مِيرُوزَ. الْعَنُوا سَاكِنِيهَا بِمَرَارَةٍ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَأْتُوا لِلْمُحَارَبَةِ فِي صَفِّ الرَّبِّ ضِدَّ الْجَبَابِرَةِ». | ٢٣ |
24 Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite is to be praised the most among women. She deserves praise above all other women who live in tents.
| لِتَكُنْ يَاعِيلُ زَوْجَةُ حَابِرَ الْقَيْنِيِّ مُبَارَكَةً. لِتَكُنْ مُبَارَكَةً أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ النِّسَاءِ سَاكِنَاتِ الْخِيَامِ. | ٢٤ |
25 He asked for water, and she gave him milk. In a bowl fit for nobles she brought him buttermilk.
| فَقَدْ سَأَلَهَا سِيسَرَا مَاءً فَأَعْطَتْهُ لَبَناً، قَدَّمَتْ لَهُ زُبْدَةً فِي وِعَاءِ الْعُظَمَاءِ. | ٢٥ |
26 With one hand she picked up the tent peg, and with her right hand she held a workman's hammer. She hit Sisera and smashed his skull; she shattered and pierced his temple.
| ثُمَّ تَنَاوَلَتْ وَتَدَ الْخَيْمَةِ بِيَدٍ، وَمَدَّتْ يَمِينَهَا إِلَى الْمِطْرَقَةِ وَضَرَبَتْ سِيسَرَا فَسَحَقَتْ رَأْسَهُ وَشَدَخَتْ صُدْغَهُ وَخَرَقَتْهُ! | ٢٦ |
27 At her feet he collapsed, he fell, he lay motionless. At her feet he collapsed, he fell; where he collapsed, there he fell, his life plundered from him.
| فَانْطَرَحَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهَا. سَقَطَ، وَظَلَّ مُلْقىً هُنَاكَ. انْطَرَحَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهَا وَسَقَطَ. وَحَيْثُ انْطَرَحَ سَقَطَ قَتِيلاً. | ٢٧ |
28 Sisera's mother looked out from the window. Through the latticed window she cried out, ‘Why is his chariot taking so long to come? Why is the sound of his chariot arriving so delayed?’
| مِنَ الْكُوَّةِ أَشْرَفَتْ أُمُّ سِيسَرَا، وَمِنْ وَرَاءِ النَّافِذَةِ الْمُشَبَّكَةِ وَلْوَلَتْ: لِمَاذَا أَبْطَأَتْ مَرْكَبَاتُهُ عَنِ الْمَجِيءِ؟ لِمَاذَا تَأَخَّرَ صَرِيرُ وَقْعِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ؟ | ٢٨ |
29 The wisest of her ladies tells her, and she repeats the same words to herself,
| فَأَجَابَتْهَا أَحْكَمُ نِسَائِهَا، بَلْ هِيَ أَجَابَتْ نَفْسَهَا: | ٢٩ |
30 ‘They're busy dividing up the plunder and assigning a girl or two for each man. There'll be colorful clothes for Sisera as plunder; beautifully embroidered colorful clothes as plunder; double-embroidered clothing reaching to the neck as plunder.’
| «أَلَمْ يَجِدُوا الْغَنِيمَةَ وَيَقْتَسِمُوهَا؟ فَتَاةً أَوْ فَتَاتَيْنِ لِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ، وَغَنِيمَةَ ثِيَابٍ مَصْبُوغَةٍ لِسِيسَرَا، وَأُخْرَى مَصْبُوغَةٍ وَمُطَرَّزَةِ الْوَجْهَيْنِ لِتَكُونَ غَنِيمَةً أَلُفُّ بِها عُنُقِي؟ | ٣٠ |
31 May all your enemies die like this, Lord, but may those who love you shine like the sun in all its brilliance!” The land was at peace for forty years.
| هَكَذَا يَنْقَرِضُ جَمِيعُ أَعْدَائِكَ يَا رَبُّ، أَمَّا أَحِبَّاؤُكَ فَهُمْ كَالشَّمْسِ الْمُتَأَلِّقَةِ فِي جَبَرُوتِهَا». ثُمَّ خَيَّمَ السَّلامُ عَلَى الْبِلادِ فَتْرَةَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً. | ٣١ |
