士師記 4
1 エホデの死たるのちイスラエルの子孫復ヱホバの目前に惡を行しかば
AND the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord, when Ehud was dead.
2 ヱホバ、ハゾルにて世を治むるカナンの王ヤビンの手に之を賣たまふヤビンの軍勢の長はシセラといふ彼異邦人のハロセテに住居り
And the Lord sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
3 鐵の戰車九百輌を有居て二十年の間イスラエルの子孫を甚だしく虐げしかばイスラエルの子孫ヱホバに呼はれり
And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
4 當時ラピドテの妻なる預言者デボラ、イスラエルの士師なりき
And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
5 彼エフライムの山のラマとベテルの間に在るデボラの棕櫚の樹の下に坐せりイスラエルの子孫はその許に上りて審判を受く
And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
6 デボラ人をつかはしてケデシ、ナフタリよりアビノアムの子バラクを招きこれにいひけるはイスラエルの神ヱホバ汝に斯く命じたまふにあらずやいはく汝ナフタリの子孫とゼブルンの子孫とを一萬人ひきゐゆきてタボル山におもむけ
And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
7 我ヤビンの軍勢の長シセラおよびその戰車とその群衆とをキシオン河に引き寄せて汝のもとに至らせ之を汝の手に付すべし
And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.
8 バラク之にいひけるは汝もし我とともにゆかば我往べし然ど汝もし我とともに行ずば我行ざるべし
And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
9 デボラいひけるは我かならず汝とともに往くべし然ど汝は今往くところの途にては榮譽を得ることなからんヱホバ婦人の手にシセラを賣りたまふべければなりとデボラすなはち起ちてバラクと共にケデシに往けり
And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 バラク、ゼブルンとナフタリをケデシに招き一萬人を從へて上るデボラもまた之とともに上れり
And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
11 ここにケニ人ヘベルといふ者あり彼はモーセの外舅ホバブの裔なるがケニを離れてケデシの邊なるザアナイムの橡の樹のかたはらにその天幕を張り居たり
Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
12 衆アビノアムの子バラクがタボル山に上れるよしをシセラに告げたりければ
And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
13 シセラそのすべての戰車すなはち鐵の戰車九百輌およびおのれとともに在るすべての民を異邦人のハロセテよりキシオン河に招き集へたり
And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.
14 デボラ、バラクにいひけるは起よ是ヱホバがシセラを汝の手に付したまふ日なりヱホバ汝に先き立ちて出でたまひしにあらずやとバラクすなはち一萬人をしたがへてタボル山より下る
And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the Lord hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the Lord gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 ヱホバ刃をもてシセラとその諸の戰車およびその全軍をバラクの前に打敗りたまひたればシセラ戰車より飛び下り徒歩になりて遁れ走れり
And the Lord discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
16 バラク戰車と軍勢とを追ひ撃て異邦人のハロセテに至れりシセラの軍勢は悉く刃にたふれて殘れるもの一人もなかりしが
But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
17 シセラは徒歩にて奔りケニ人ヘベルの妻ヤエルの天幕に來れり是はハゾルの王ヤビンとケニ人ヘベルの家とは互ひに睦じかりしゆゑなり
Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
18 ヤエル出來りてシセラを迎へ之にいひけるは來れわが主よ入り來れ怖るるなかれとシセラその天幕に入たればヤエル被をもてこれを覆へり
And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
19 シセラ之にいひけるはねがはくは少しの水をわれに飮ませよ我渇けりとヤエルすなはち乳嚢を啓きて之に飮ませまた之を覆へり
And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
20 シセラまた之にいひけるは天幕の門邊に立て居れもし人來り汝にとふて誰かここに居るやといはば否と答ふべしと
Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
21 彼疲れて熟睡せしかばヘベルの妻ヤエル天幕の釘子を取り手に鎚を携へてそのかたはらに忍び寄り鬢のあたりに釘子をうちこみて地に刺し通したればシセラすなはち死たり
Then Jael Heber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
22 バラク、シセラを追ひ來りしときヤエル之を出でむかへていひけるは來れ我汝の索るところの人を示さんとかれそのところに入て見にシセラ鬢のあたりに釘子うたれて死たふれをる
And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
23 その日に神カナンの王ヤビンをイスラエルの子孫のまへに打敗りたまへり
So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
24 かくてイスラエルの子孫の手ますます強くなりてカナンの王ヤビンに勝ちつひにカナンの王ヤビンを亡ぼすに至れり
And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
