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 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 LORD’s presence, 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 governors 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 rich carpets, 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 LORD’s righteous acts, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. “Then the LORD’s people 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! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you 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 and the people came down. The LORD came down for me against the mighty.
| عِنْدَئِذٍ أَقْبَلَ النَّاجُونَ إِلَى النُّبَلاءِ؛ انْحَدَرَ شَعْبُ الرَّبِّ وَالْتَفَّ حَوْلِي لِمُحَارَبَةِ الأَشِدَّاءِ. | ١٣ |
14 Those whose root is in Amalek came out of Ephraim, after you, Benjamin, among your peoples. Governors come down out of Machir. Those who handle the marshal’s staff came out of Zebulun.
| 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 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 whistling for the flocks? At the watercourses 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 creeks.
| 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 jeopardized their lives to the 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 stamped because of the prancing, the prancing of their strong ones.
| ثُمَّ تَرَدَّدَ وَقْعُ حَوَافِرِ خَيْلِ الْعَدُوِّ، مِنْ عَدْوِ الْجِيَادِ الضَّخْمَةِ. | ٢٢ |
23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ said the LORD’s angel. ‘Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they didn’t 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 butter in a lordly dish.
| 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. With the hammer she struck Sisera. She struck through his head. Yes, she pierced and struck through his temples.
| ثُمَّ تَنَاوَلَتْ وَتَدَ الْخَيْمَةِ بِيَدٍ، وَمَدَّتْ يَمِينَهَا إِلَى الْمِطْرَقَةِ وَضَرَبَتْ سِيسَرَا فَسَحَقَتْ رَأْسَهُ وَشَدَخَتْ صُدْغَهُ وَخَرَقَتْهُ! | ٢٦ |
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he bowed, he fell. Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
| فَانْطَرَحَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهَا. سَقَطَ، وَظَلَّ مُلْقىً هُنَاكَ. انْطَرَحَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهَا وَسَقَطَ. وَحَيْثُ انْطَرَحَ سَقَطَ قَتِيلاً. | ٢٧ |
28 “Through the window she looked out, and cried: Sisera’s mother looked through the lattice. ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why do 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, Yes, she returned answer to herself,
| فَأَجَابَتْهَا أَحْكَمُ نِسَائِهَا، بَلْ هِيَ أَجَابَتْ نَفْسَهَا: | ٢٩ |
30 ‘Have they not found, have they not divided the plunder? A lady, two ladies to every man; to Sisera a plunder of dyed garments, a plunder of dyed garments embroidered, of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the 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 “So let all your enemies perish, LORD, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then 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 |
