Judges 5
1 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
cecineruntque Debbora et Barac filius Abinoem in die illo dicentes
2 "Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, LORD.
qui sponte obtulistis de Israhel animas vestras ad periculum benedicite Domino
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.
audite reges percipite auribus principes ego sum ego sum quae Domino canam psallam Domino Deo Israhel
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.
Domine cum exires de Seir et transires per regiones Edom terra mota est caelique ac nubes stillaverunt aquis
5 The mountains quaked at the presence of the LORD, even Sinai, at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel.
montes fluxerunt a facie Domini et Sinai a facie Domini Dei Israhel
6 "In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through byways.
in diebus Samgar filii Anath in diebus Iahel quieverunt semitae et qui ingrediebantur per eas ambulaverunt per calles devios
7 The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother in Israel.
cessaverunt fortes in Israhel et quieverunt donec surgeret Debbora surgeret mater in Israhel
8 They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
nova bella elegit Dominus et portas hostium ipse subvertit clypeus et hasta si apparuerint in quadraginta milibus Israhel
9 My heart is toward the leaders of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the LORD.
cor meum diligit principes Israhel qui propria voluntate obtulistis vos discrimini benedicite Domino
10 "Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on saddle blankets, and you who walk by the way.
qui ascenditis super nitentes asinos et sedetis in iudicio et ambulatis in via loquimini
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.
ubi conlisi sunt currus et hostium est suffocatus exercitus ibi narrentur iustitiae Domini et clementia in fortes Israhel tunc descendit populus Domini ad portas et obtinuit principatum
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.'
surge surge Debbora surge surge et loquere canticum surge Barac et adprehende captivos tuos fili Abinoem
13 "Then a remnant of the nobles came down. The people of the LORD marched down to me against the mighty.
salvatae sunt reliquiae populi Dominus in fortibus dimicavit
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.
ex Ephraim delevit eos in Amalech et post eum ex Beniamin in populos tuos o Amalech de Machir principes descenderunt et de Zabulon qui exercitum ducerent ad bellandum
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.
duces Isachar fuere cum Debbora et Barac vestigia sunt secuti qui quasi in praeceps ac baratrum se discrimini dedit diviso contra se Ruben magnanimorum repperta contentio est
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.
quare habitas inter duos terminos ut audias sibilos gregum diviso contra se Ruben magnanimorum repperta contentio est
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.
Galaad trans Iordanem quiescebat et Dan vacabat navibus Aser habitabat in litore maris et in portibus morabatur
18 Zebulun was a people that risked their lives even to death; Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
Zabulon vero et Nepthalim obtulerunt animas suas morti in regione Merome
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.
venerunt reges et pugnaverunt pugnaverunt reges Chanaan in Thanach iuxta aquas Mageddo et tamen nihil tulere praedantes
20 From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
de caelo dimicatum est contra eos stellae manentes in ordine et cursu suo adversum Sisaram pugnaverunt
21 The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
torrens Cison traxit cadavera eorum torrens Cadumim torrens Cison conculca anima mea robustos
22 Then the horse hoofs pounded because of the galloping, the galloping of their steeds.
ungulae equorum ceciderunt fugientibus impetu et per praeceps ruentibus fortissimis hostium
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.
maledicite terrae Meroz dixit angelus Domini maledicite habitatoribus eius quia non venerunt ad auxilium Domini in adiutorium fortissimorum eius
24 Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
benedicta inter mulieres Iahel uxor Aber Cinei benedicatur in tabernaculo suo
25 He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him curds in a princely bowl.
aquam petenti lac dedit et in fiala principum obtulit butyrum
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.
sinistram manum misit ad clavum et dexteram ad fabrorum malleos percussitque Sisaram quaerens in capite vulneri locum et tempus valide perforans
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.
inter pedes eius ruit defecit et mortuus est ante pedes illius volvebatur et iacebat exanimis et miserabilis
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?'
per fenestram prospiciens ululabat mater eius et de cenaculo loquebatur cur moratur regredi currus eius quare tardaverunt pedes quadrigarum illius
29 Her wise princesses answered her; indeed, she answers herself,
una sapientior ceteris uxoribus eius haec socrui verba respondit
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?'
forsitan nunc dividit spolia et pulcherrima feminarum eligitur ei vestes diversorum colorum Sisarae traduntur in praedam et supellex varia ad ornanda colla congeritur
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.
sic pereant omnes inimici tui Domine qui autem diligunt te sicut sol in ortu suo splendet ita rutilent quievitque terra per quadraginta annos
