< Judges 5 >

1 And Debbora and Barac son of Abineem sang in that day, saying,
وَأَنْشَدَتْ دَبُورَةُ وَبَارَاقُ بْنُ أَبِينُوعَمَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَائِلَيْنِ:١
2 A revelation was made in Israel when the people were made willing: Praise you the Lord.
بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ لأَنَّ الرُّؤَسَاءَ تَوَلَّوْا زِمَامَ الْقِيَادَةِ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ انْتَدَبُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ مُتَطَوِّعِينَ.٢
3 Hear, you kings, and listen, rulers: I will sing, it is I [who will sing] to the Lord, it is I, I will sing a psalm to the Lord the god of Israel.
فَاسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الْمُلُوكُ، وَأَصْغَوْا أَيُّهَا الأُمَرَاءُ، لأَنَّنِي أَنَا أَشْدُو لِلرَّبِّ، وَأُغَنِّي لإِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٣
4 O Lord, in your going forth on Seir, when you went forth out of the land of Edom, the earth quaked and the heaven dropped dews, and the clouds dropped water.
يَا رَبُّ، عِنْدَمَا خَرَجْتَ مِنْ سَعِيرَ وَتَقَدَّمْتَ مِنْ صَحْرَاءِ أَدُومَ، ارْتَعَدَتِ الأَرْضُ، وَسَكَبَتِ السَّمَاءُ أَمْطَارَهَا، وَقَطَرَتِ السُّحُبُ مَاءً.٤
5 The mountains were shaken before the face of the Lord Eloi, this Sina before the face of the Lord God of Israel.
تَزَلْزَلَتِ الأَرْضُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ وَارْتَعَدَ جَبَلُ سِينَاءَ هَذَا مِنْ حَضْرَةِ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٥
6 In the days of Samegar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, they deserted the ways, and went in by-ways; they went in crooked paths.
فِي أَيَّامِ شَمْجَرَ بْنِ عَنَاةَ، وَفِيِ أَيَّامِ يَاعِيلَ هَجَرَ الْمُسَافِرُونَ الطُّرُقَ الْمَعْرُوفَةَ، وَلَجَأُوا إِلَى الْمَسَالِكِ الْمُلْتَوِيَةِ.٦
7 The mighty men in Israel failed, they failed until Debbora arose, until she arose a mother in Israel.
وَتَضَاءَلَ عَدَدُ سُكَّانِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى أَنْ صَارَتْ دَبُورَةُ أُمّاً لإِسْرَائِيلَ.٧
8 They chose new gods; then the cities of rulers fought; there was not a shield or spear seen among forty thousand 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 heart [inclines] to the orders given in Israel; you that are willing among the people, bless the Lord.
قَلْبِي مَعَ قُضَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ ضَحَّوْا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ عَنْ رِضًى مِنْ بَيْنِ الشَّعْبِ، فَبَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ.٩
10 You that mount a she-ass at noon-day, you that sit on the judgment-seat, and walk by the roads of them that sit in judgment by the way; declare
أَيُّهَا الرَّاكِبُونَ الأُتُنَ الشُّهْبَ، الْجَالِسُونَ عَلَى طَنَافِسِ سُرُجِكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا السَّائِرُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، تَجَاوَبُوا.١٠
11 [you that are delivered] from the noise of disturbers among the drawers of water; there shall they relate righteous acts: O Lord, increase righteous acts in Israel: then the people of the Lord went down to the cities.
بِأَصْوَاتِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عِنْدَ سَواقِي الْمِيَاهِ يَتَغَنَّوْنَ بِانْتِصَارَاتِ الرَّبِّ وَشَعْبِهِ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، عِنْدَئِذٍ يَنْزِلُ شَعْبُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى بَوَّابَاتِ الْمَدِينَةِ.١١
12 Awake, awake, Debbora; awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barac, and lead your captivity captive, son of Abineem.
اسْتَيْقِظِي يَا دَبُورَةُ، اسْتَيْقِظِي وَاهْتِفِي بِنَشِيدٍ. قُمْ يَا بَارَاقُ، وَخُذْ سَبْيَكَ إِلَى الأَسْرِ، يَا ابْنَ أَبِينُوعَمَ.١٢
13 Then went down the remnant to the strong, the people of the Lord went down for him among the mighty ones from me.
عِنْدَئِذٍ أَقْبَلَ النَّاجُونَ إِلَى النُّبَلاءِ؛ انْحَدَرَ شَعْبُ الرَّبِّ وَالْتَفَّ حَوْلِي لِمُحَارَبَةِ الأَشِدَّاءِ.١٣
14 Ephraim rooted them out in Amalec, behind you was Benjamin among your people: the inhabitants of Machir came down with me searching out the enemy, and from Zabulon came they that draw with the scribe's pen of record.
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 And princess in Issachar were with Debbora and Barac, thus she sent Barac on his feet in the valleys into the portions of Ruben; great [pangs] reached to the heart.
جَاءَ رُؤَسَاءُ يَسَّاكَرَ مَعَ دَبُورَةَ وَأَخْلَصُوا لِبَارَاقَ، فَاقْتَحَمُوا الْوَادِي فِي أَعْقَابِهِ. أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ رَأُوبَيْنَ فَقَدِ اعْتَرَاهُمُ التَّخَاذُلُ وَالْحَيْرَةُ.١٥
16 Why did they sit between the sheepfolds to hear the bleating of flocks for the divisions of Ruben? [there were] great searchings of heart.
لِمَاذَا تَخَلَّفْتُمْ فِي حَظَائِرِكُمْ؟ أَلِتَسْمَعُوا صَفِيرَ الرُّعَاةِ إِلَى الْقُطْعَانِ؟ لَشَدَّ مَا تُسَامُ عَشَائِرُ رَأُوبَيْنَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الضَّمِيرِ.١٦
17 Galaad [is] on the other side of Jordan where he pitched his tents; and why does Dan remain in ships? Aser sat down on the sea-coasts, and he will tabernacle at 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 Zabulon exposed their soul to death, and Nephthali came to the high places of their land.
أَمَّا زَبُولُونُ وَنَفْتَالِي فَقَدْ عَرَّضَا حَيَاتَهُمَا لِلْمَوْتِ عِنْدَ رَوَابِي الْحَقْلِ.١٨
19 Kings set themselves in array, then the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanaach at the water of Mageddo; they took no gift of money.
احْتَشَدَ مُلُوكٌ وَحَارَبُوا، حَارَبَ مُلُوكُ كَنْعَانَ فِي تَعْنَكَ بِجِوَارِ مِيَاهِ مَجِدُّو، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَغْنَمُوا قِطْعَةَ فِضَّةٍ وَاحِدَةً.١٩
20 The stars from heaven set themselves in array, they set themselves [to fight] with Sisara out of their paths.
مِنَ السَّمَاءِ حَارَبَتِ النُّجُومُ سِيسَرَا مِنْ مَسَارَاتِهَا.٢٠
21 The brook of Kison swept them away, the ancient brook, the brook Kison: my mighty soul will trample him down.
وَفَاضَتْ مِيَاهُ نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ الْقَدِيمِ وَجَرَفَتْ رِجَالَهُ؛ فَتَقَدَّمِي يَا نَفْسِي بِعِزٍّ.٢١
22 When the hoofs of the horse were entangled, his mighty ones earnestly hasted
ثُمَّ تَرَدَّدَ وَقْعُ حَوَافِرِ خَيْلِ الْعَدُوِّ، مِنْ عَدْوِ الْجِيَادِ الضَّخْمَةِ.٢٢
23 to curse Meroz: Curse you [it], said the angel of the Lord; cursed [is] every one that dwells in it, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to his help among the mighty.
غَيْرَ أَنَّ مَلاكَ الرَّبِّ قَالَ: «الْعَنُوا مِيرُوزَ. الْعَنُوا سَاكِنِيهَا بِمَرَارَةٍ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَأْتُوا لِلْمُحَارَبَةِ فِي صَفِّ الرَّبِّ ضِدَّ الْجَبَابِرَةِ».٢٣
24 Blessed among women be Jael wife of Chaber the Kenite; let her be blessed above women in tents.
لِتَكُنْ يَاعِيلُ زَوْجَةُ حَابِرَ الْقَيْنِيِّ مُبَارَكَةً. لِتَكُنْ مُبَارَكَةً أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ النِّسَاءِ سَاكِنَاتِ الْخِيَامِ.٢٤
25 He asked for water, she gave him milk in a dish; she brought butter of princes.
فَقَدْ سَأَلَهَا سِيسَرَا مَاءً فَأَعْطَتْهُ لَبَناً، قَدَّمَتْ لَهُ زُبْدَةً فِي وِعَاءِ الْعُظَمَاءِ.٢٥
26 She stretched forth her left hand to the nail, and her right to the hand workman's hammer, and she struck Sisara with it, she nailed through his head and struck him; she nailed through his temples.
ثُمَّ تَنَاوَلَتْ وَتَدَ الْخَيْمَةِ بِيَدٍ، وَمَدَّتْ يَمِينَهَا إِلَى الْمِطْرَقَةِ وَضَرَبَتْ سِيسَرَا فَسَحَقَتْ رَأْسَهُ وَشَدَخَتْ صُدْغَهُ وَخَرَقَتْهُ!٢٦
27 He rolled down between her feet; he fell and lay between her feet; he bowed and fell: where he bowed, there he fell dead.
فَانْطَرَحَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهَا. سَقَطَ، وَظَلَّ مُلْقىً هُنَاكَ. انْطَرَحَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهَا وَسَقَطَ. وَحَيْثُ انْطَرَحَ سَقَطَ قَتِيلاً.٢٧
28 The mother of Sisara looked down through the window out of the loophole, [saying], Why was his chariot ashamed? why did the wheels of his chariots wait?
مِنَ الْكُوَّةِ أَشْرَفَتْ أُمُّ سِيسَرَا، وَمِنْ وَرَاءِ النَّافِذَةِ الْمُشَبَّكَةِ وَلْوَلَتْ: لِمَاذَا أَبْطَأَتْ مَرْكَبَاتُهُ عَنِ الْمَجِيءِ؟ لِمَاذَا تَأَخَّرَ صَرِيرُ وَقْعِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ؟٢٨
29 Her wise ladies answered her, and she returned answers to herself, [saying],
فَأَجَابَتْهَا أَحْكَمُ نِسَائِهَا، بَلْ هِيَ أَجَابَتْ نَفْسَهَا:٢٩
30 Will they not find him dividing the spoil? he will surely be gracious to every man: [there are] spoils of dyed garments for Sisara, spoils of various dyed garments, dyed embroidered garments, they [are] the spoils for his neck.
«أَلَمْ يَجِدُوا الْغَنِيمَةَ وَيَقْتَسِمُوهَا؟ فَتَاةً أَوْ فَتَاتَيْنِ لِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ، وَغَنِيمَةَ ثِيَابٍ مَصْبُوغَةٍ لِسِيسَرَا، وَأُخْرَى مَصْبُوغَةٍ وَمُطَرَّزَةِ الْوَجْهَيْنِ لِتَكُونَ غَنِيمَةً أَلُفُّ بِها عُنُقِي؟٣٠
31 Thus let all your enemies perish, O Lord: and they that love him shall be as the going forth of the sun in his strength. And the land had rest forty years.
هَكَذَا يَنْقَرِضُ جَمِيعُ أَعْدَائِكَ يَا رَبُّ، أَمَّا أَحِبَّاؤُكَ فَهُمْ كَالشَّمْسِ الْمُتَأَلِّقَةِ فِي جَبَرُوتِهَا». ثُمَّ خَيَّمَ السَّلامُ عَلَى الْبِلادِ فَتْرَةَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.٣١
