< Judges 5 >

1 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
وَأَنْشَدَتْ دَبُورَةُ وَبَارَاقُ بْنُ أَبِينُوعَمَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَائِلَيْنِ:١
2 "Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, LORD.
بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ لأَنَّ الرُّؤَسَاءَ تَوَلَّوْا زِمَامَ الْقِيَادَةِ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ انْتَدَبُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ مُتَطَوِّعِينَ.٢
3 "Hear, you kings. Give ear, you princes. I, even I, will sing to the LORD. I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.
فَاسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الْمُلُوكُ، وَأَصْغَوْا أَيُّهَا الأُمَرَاءُ، لأَنَّنِي أَنَا أَشْدُو لِلرَّبِّ، وَأُغَنِّي لإِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٣
4 "LORD, when you went forth out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the sky also dropped. Yes, 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 quaked at the presence of the LORD, even Sinai, at 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 the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through byways.
فِي أَيَّامِ شَمْجَرَ بْنِ عَنَاةَ، وَفِيِ أَيَّامِ يَاعِيلَ هَجَرَ الْمُسَافِرُونَ الطُّرُقَ الْمَعْرُوفَةَ، وَلَجَأُوا إِلَى الْمَسَالِكِ الْمُلْتَوِيَةِ.٦
7 The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother in Israel.
وَتَضَاءَلَ عَدَدُ سُكَّانِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى أَنْ صَارَتْ دَبُورَةُ أُمّاً لإِسْرَائِيلَ.٧
8 They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there 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 is toward the leaders of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the LORD.
قَلْبِي مَعَ قُضَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ ضَحَّوْا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ عَنْ رِضًى مِنْ بَيْنِ الشَّعْبِ، فَبَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ.٩
10 "Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on saddle blankets, and you who walk by the way.
أَيُّهَا الرَّاكِبُونَ الأُتُنَ الشُّهْبَ، الْجَالِسُونَ عَلَى طَنَافِسِ سُرُجِكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا السَّائِرُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، تَجَاوَبُوا.١٠
11 Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they will rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. "Then the people of the LORD went down to the gates.
بِأَصْوَاتِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عِنْدَ سَواقِي الْمِيَاهِ يَتَغَنَّوْنَ بِانْتِصَارَاتِ الرَّبِّ وَشَعْبِهِ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، عِنْدَئِذٍ يَنْزِلُ شَعْبُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى بَوَّابَاتِ الْمَدِينَةِ.١١
12 'Awake, awake, Deborah. Awaken the multitudes of a nation. Awake, awake, sing a song. Be strong. Arise, Barak. And Deborah, strengthen Barak. And lead away your captives, son of Abinoam.'
اسْتَيْقِظِي يَا دَبُورَةُ، اسْتَيْقِظِي وَاهْتِفِي بِنَشِيدٍ. قُمْ يَا بَارَاقُ، وَخُذْ سَبْيَكَ إِلَى الأَسْرِ، يَا ابْنَ أَبِينُوعَمَ.١٢
13 "Then a remnant of the nobles came down. The people of the LORD marched down to me against the mighty.
عِنْدَئِذٍ أَقْبَلَ النَّاجُونَ إِلَى النُّبَلاءِ؛ انْحَدَرَ شَعْبُ الرَّبِّ وَالْتَفَّ حَوْلِي لِمُحَارَبَةِ الأَشِدَّاءِ.١٣
14 From Ephraim those who uprooted Amalek came out, following you, Benjamin, among your peoples; out of Makir leaders came down, and out of Zebulun those that handle the staff of office.
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 the princes of Issachar were with Deborah. As was Issachar, so was Barak. They rushed into the valley at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben, there were great resolves of heart.
جَاءَ رُؤَسَاءُ يَسَّاكَرَ مَعَ دَبُورَةَ وَأَخْلَصُوا لِبَارَاقَ، فَاقْتَحَمُوا الْوَادِي فِي أَعْقَابِهِ. أَمَّا أَبْنَاءُ رَأُوبَيْنَ فَقَدِ اعْتَرَاهُمُ التَّخَاذُلُ وَالْحَيْرَةُ.١٥
16 Why did you sit among the sheepfolds, to hear the piping for the flocks? At the divisions of Reuben 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 Gilead lived beyond the Jordan. Why did Dan remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and lived by his harbors.
أَقَامَ جِلْعَادُ شَرْقِيَّ الأُرْدُنِّ، وَأَنْتَ يَا دَانُ لِمَاذَا اسْتَوْطَنْتَ عِنْدَ السُّفُنِ؟ وَبَقِيَ أَشِيرُ قَابِعاً عِنْدَ سَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ، وَانْطَوَى عِنْدَ خُلْجَانِهِ.١٧
18 Zebulun was a people that risked their lives even to death; Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
أَمَّا زَبُولُونُ وَنَفْتَالِي فَقَدْ عَرَّضَا حَيَاتَهُمَا لِلْمَوْتِ عِنْدَ رَوَابِي الْحَقْلِ.١٨
19 The kings came and fought, then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no plunder of silver.
احْتَشَدَ مُلُوكٌ وَحَارَبُوا، حَارَبَ مُلُوكُ كَنْعَانَ فِي تَعْنَكَ بِجِوَارِ مِيَاهِ مَجِدُّو، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَغْنَمُوا قِطْعَةَ فِضَّةٍ وَاحِدَةً.١٩
20 From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
مِنَ السَّمَاءِ حَارَبَتِ النُّجُومُ سِيسَرَا مِنْ مَسَارَاتِهَا.٢٠
21 The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
وَفَاضَتْ مِيَاهُ نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ الْقَدِيمِ وَجَرَفَتْ رِجَالَهُ؛ فَتَقَدَّمِي يَا نَفْسِي بِعِزٍّ.٢١
22 Then the horse hoofs pounded because of the galloping, the galloping of their steeds.
ثُمَّ تَرَدَّدَ وَقْعُ حَوَافِرِ خَيْلِ الْعَدُوِّ، مِنْ عَدْوِ الْجِيَادِ الضَّخْمَةِ.٢٢
23 Curse Meroz, said the angel of the LORD. Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they did not come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty.
غَيْرَ أَنَّ مَلاكَ الرَّبِّ قَالَ: «الْعَنُوا مِيرُوزَ. الْعَنُوا سَاكِنِيهَا بِمَرَارَةٍ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَأْتُوا لِلْمُحَارَبَةِ فِي صَفِّ الرَّبِّ ضِدَّ الْجَبَابِرَةِ».٢٣
24 Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
لِتَكُنْ يَاعِيلُ زَوْجَةُ حَابِرَ الْقَيْنِيِّ مُبَارَكَةً. لِتَكُنْ مُبَارَكَةً أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ النِّسَاءِ سَاكِنَاتِ الْخِيَامِ.٢٤
25 He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him curds in a princely bowl.
فَقَدْ سَأَلَهَا سِيسَرَا مَاءً فَأَعْطَتْهُ لَبَناً، قَدَّمَتْ لَهُ زُبْدَةً فِي وِعَاءِ الْعُظَمَاءِ.٢٥
26 She put her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer. She struck Sisera, she pierced his head; she shattered and struck through 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. At her feet he collapsed, he fell. Where he collapsed, there he fell down, destroyed.
فَانْطَرَحَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهَا. سَقَطَ، وَظَلَّ مُلْقىً هُنَاكَ. انْطَرَحَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهَا وَسَقَطَ. وَحَيْثُ انْطَرَحَ سَقَطَ قَتِيلاً.٢٧
28 Through the window she looked out. Sisera's mother cried out through the lattice, 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why are the hoofbeats of his chariots delayed?'
مِنَ الْكُوَّةِ أَشْرَفَتْ أُمُّ سِيسَرَا، وَمِنْ وَرَاءِ النَّافِذَةِ الْمُشَبَّكَةِ وَلْوَلَتْ: لِمَاذَا أَبْطَأَتْ مَرْكَبَاتُهُ عَنِ الْمَجِيءِ؟ لِمَاذَا تَأَخَّرَ صَرِيرُ وَقْعِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ؟٢٨
29 Her wise princesses answered her; indeed, she answers herself,
فَأَجَابَتْهَا أَحْكَمُ نِسَائِهَا، بَلْ هِيَ أَجَابَتْ نَفْسَهَا:٢٩
30 'Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A womb or two for every man; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, A spoil of dyed garments embroidered, Of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, for the neck of the plunderer?'
«أَلَمْ يَجِدُوا الْغَنِيمَةَ وَيَقْتَسِمُوهَا؟ فَتَاةً أَوْ فَتَاتَيْنِ لِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ، وَغَنِيمَةَ ثِيَابٍ مَصْبُوغَةٍ لِسِيسَرَا، وَأُخْرَى مَصْبُوغَةٍ وَمُطَرَّزَةِ الْوَجْهَيْنِ لِتَكُونَ غَنِيمَةً أَلُفُّ بِها عُنُقِي؟٣٠
31 So let all your enemies perish, LORD, but let those who love you be as the sun when it rises forth in its 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
