士師記 5
1 その日デボラとアビノアムの子バラク謳ひていはく
Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying:
2 イスラエルの首長みちびきをなし民また好んで出でたればヱホバを頌美よ
When men let grow their hair in Israel, when the people offer themselves willingly, bless ye the LORD.
3 もろもろの王よ聽けもろもろの伯よ耳をかたぶけよ我はそのヱホバに謳はん我はイスラエルの神ヱホバを讚へん
Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, unto the LORD will I sing; I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.
4 ああヱホバよ汝セイルより出でエドムの野より進みたまひしとき地震ひ天また滴りて雲水を滴らせたり
LORD, when Thou didst go forth out of Seir, when Thou didst march out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, yea, the clouds dropped water.
5 もろもろの山はヱホバのまへに撼動ぎ彼のシナイもイスラエルの神ヱホバのまへに撼動げり
The mountains quaked at the presence of the LORD, even yon Sinai at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel.
6 アナテの子シヤムガルのときまたヤエルの時には大路は通行る者なく途行く人は徑を歩み
In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways ceased, and the travellers walked through byways.
7 イスラエルの村莊には住者なく住む者あらずなりけるがつひに我デボラ起れり我起りてイスラエルに母となる
The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, until that thou didst arise, Deborah, that thou didst arise a mother in Israel.
8 人々新しき神を選みければ戰鬪門におよべりイスラエルの四萬人のうちに盾或は鎗の見しことあらんや
They chose new gods; then was war in the gates; was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 吾が心は民のうちに好んでいでたるイスラエルの有司等に傾けり汝らヱホバを頌美よ
My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
10 しろき驢馬に乗るもの毛氈に坐するものおよび路歩む人よ汝ら謳ふべし
Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on rich cloths, and ye that walk by the way, tell of it;
11 矢叫の聲に遠かり水汲むところにおいてヱホバの義しき所爲をとなへそのイスラエルを治理めたまふ義しき所爲を唱へよその時ヱホバの民は門に下れり
Louder than the voice of archers, by the watering-troughs! there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts of His rulers in Israel. Then the people of the LORD went down to the gates.
12 興よ起よデボラ興よ起よ歌を謳ふべし起てよバラク汝の俘虜を擄きたれアビノアムの子よ
Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song; arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13 其時民の首長等の殘餘者くだり來るヱホバ勇士の中にいまして我にくだりたまふ
Then made He a remnant to have dominion over the nobles and the people; the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
14 エフライムより出る者ありその根アマレクにありベニヤミン汝のあとにつきて汝の民の中にありマキルよりは牧伯下りゼブルンよりは采配を執るものいたる
Out of Ephraim came they whose root is in Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the marshal's staff.
15 イッサカルの伯たちはデボラとともに居るイッサカルはバラクとおなじく足の進みて平地に至るルベンの河邊にて大に心にはかる事あり
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; as was Issachar, so was Barak; into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. Among the divisions of Reuben there were great resolves of heart.
16 何故に汝は圈のうちに止まりて羊の群に笛吹くを聽くやルベンの河邊にて大に心に考ふることあり
Why sattest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the pipings for the flocks? At the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
17 ギレアデはヨルダンの彼方に臥し居る何故にダンは舟のかたはらに止まりしやアセルは濱邊に坐してその港に臥し居る
Gilead abode beyond the Jordan; and Dan, why doth he sojourn by the ships? Asher dwelt at the shore of the sea, and abideth by its bays.
18 ゼブルンは生命を捐て死を冒せる民なり野の高きところに居るナフタリまた是の如し
Zebulun is a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, and Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.
19 もろもろの王來りて戰へる時にカナンのもろもろの王メギドンの水の邊においてタアナクに戰へり彼ら一片の貨幣をも獲ざりき
The kings came, they fought; then fought the kings of Canaan, in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
20 天よりこれを攻るものありもろもろの星其の道を離れてシセラを攻む
They fought from heaven, the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 キシオンの河之を押し流しぬ是彼の古への河キシオンの河なりわが靈魂よ汝ますます勇みて進め
The brook Kishon swept them away, that ancient brook, the brook Kishon. O my soul, tread them down with strength.
22 その時馬の蹄は強きももの馳に馳るに由りて地を踏鳴せり
Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
23 ヱホバの使いひけるはメロズを詛ふべし汝ら重ね重ねその民を詛ふべきなり彼等來りてヱホバを助けずヱホバを助けて猛者を攻めざればなり
'Curse ye Meroz', said the angel of the LORD, 'Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.'
24 ケニ人ヘベルの妻ヤエルは婦女のうちの最も頌むべき者なり彼は天幕に居る婦女のうち最も頌むべきものなり
Blessed above women shall Jael be, the wife of Heber the Kenite, above women in the tent shall she be blessed.
25 シセラ水を乞ふにヤエル乳を與ふ即ち貴き盤に乳の油を盛てささぐ
Water he asked, milk she gave him; in a lordly bowl she brought him curd.
26 ヤエル釘子に手をかけ右の手に重き椎をとりてシセラを打ちその頭を碎きその鬢のあたりをうちて貫ぬく
Her hand she put to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote through his head, yea, she pierced and struck through his temples.
27 シセラ、ヤエルの足の間に屈みて仆れ偃しその足のあはひに屈みて仆れその屈みたる所にて仆れ亡ぬ
At her feet he sunk, he fell, he lay; at her feet he sunk, he fell; where he sunk, there he fell down dead.
28 シセラの母窓より望み格子のうちより叫びて言ふ彼が車のきたること何て遲きや彼が馬の歩何てはかどらざるやと
Through the window she looked forth, and peered, the mother of Sisera, through the lattice: 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29 その賢き侍女こたへをなす（母また獨語して斯いへり）
The wisest of her princesses answer her, yea, she returneth answer to herself:
30 かれら獲ものしてこれを分たざらんや人ごとに一人二人の女子を獲んシセラの獲るものは彩る衣ならんその獲る者は彩る衣にして文繍を施せる者ならん即ち彩りて兩面に文繍をほどこせる衣をえてその頸にまとはんと
'Are they not finding, are they not dividing the spoil? A damsel, two damsels to every man; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments of embroidery, two dyed garments of broidery for the neck of every spoiler?'
31 ヱホバよ汝の敵みな是のごとくに亡びよかしまたヱホバを愛するものは日の眞盛に昇るが如くなれよかし とかくて後國は四十年のあひだ太平なりき
So perish all Thine enemies, O LORD; but they that love Him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
