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 with Barak the son of Abino'am 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 depravity had broken out in Israel, then did the people offer themselves willingly; [therefore] praise 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 kings; give ear, O 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, at thy going forth out of Seir, at thy marching along out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, also the heavens dropped, also 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 melted away because of the presence of the Lord, yonder Sinai, because of 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 Ja'el, the highways were unoccupied, and those who travelled on roads walked through crooked by-paths.
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
Desolate were the open towns in Israel, they were desolate, until that I arose, Deborah, that I arose 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 there war in the gates: was there a shield seen or a spear 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 [belongeth] to the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people: praise 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 in judgment, and ye who walk on the way, utter praise!
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
[Urged on] by the voice of those who divide [the flocks] between the watering wells, there shall they rehearse the benefits of the Lord, the benefits toward his open towns in Israel; [for] now go down [again] to the gates the people of the Lord.
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! up, Barak, and lead away thy captives, son of Abino'am.
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 obtained dominion a few that had escaped for the nobles among the people—the Lord gave me 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
They whose root is out of Ephraim were against 'Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, with thy armies; out of Machir came down lawgivers, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
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; yea Issachar, the support of Barak; into the valley he hastened down in his train; [but] at the streams of Reuben there were great thoughts 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 didst thou sit among the sheepfolds to hear the bleatings of the flocks? At the streams 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
Gil'ad abode beyond the Jordan; and Dan—why would he tarry in ships? Asher remained on the seashore, and abode near his 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 its life unto death, and Naphtali—on the high places of the [battle] 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
There came kings, [and] fought, then fought the kings of Canaan, in Ta'anach by the waters of Megiddo: gain of money they took not away.
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
From heaven they fought—the stars in their courses fought against Sissera.
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 stream of Kishon swept them away, that ancient stream, the stream of Kishon: step along, O my soul, in victorious 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 were crushed the hoofs of the horses, through 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, saith the messenger of the Lord, yea, curse ye bitterly its inhabitants; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among 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 [other] women shall be Ja'el the wife of Cheber the Kenite, above [other] women [dwelling] in the tent may 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 dish she brought him cream.
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 forth to the nail, and her right hand to the laborious workmen's hammer; and she hammered Sissera, she struck his head, and crushed and smote through his temple.
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
Between her feet he bent, he fell, he lay; between her feet he bent, he fell: where he had bent, there he fell down, bereft of life.
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
Out of the window looked and moaned the mother of Sissera, through the lattice, Why tarrieth his chariot so long in coming? why lag the wheels of his chariot?
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 wise among her ladies answered her, she also returned a reply 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
Will they not find, —divide booty? one maiden, two maidens for every man, a booty of colored garments for Sissera, a booty of colored embroidered garments, colored, double-worked garments round the necks of the captives!
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
Thus may perish all thy enemies, O Lord; but may those that love him be as the rising of the sun in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
