< Judges 5 >

1 Then sang Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, on that day, saying,
وَأَنْشَدَتْ دَبُورَةُ وَبَارَاقُ بْنُ أَبِينُوعَمَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَائِلَيْنِ:١
2 For that leaders led in Israel, For that the people willingly offered themselves, Bless Jehovah!
بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ لأَنَّ الرُّؤَسَاءَ تَوَلَّوْا زِمَامَ الْقِيَادَةِ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلأَنَّ الشَّعْبَ انْتَدَبُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ مُتَطَوِّعِينَ.٢
3 Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, [even] I, will sing to Jehovah; I will hymn to Jehovah the God of Israel.
فَاسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الْمُلُوكُ، وَأَصْغَوْا أَيُّهَا الأُمَرَاءُ، لأَنَّنِي أَنَا أَشْدُو لِلرَّبِّ، وَأُغَنِّي لإِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.٣
4 Jehovah, when thou wentest forth from Seir, When thou marchedst out of the fields of Edom, The earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, Yea, 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 before the face of Jehovah, That Sinai, from before Jehovah 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 roads were unused, and the travellers on highways went by crooked paths.
فِي أَيَّامِ شَمْجَرَ بْنِ عَنَاةَ، وَفِيِ أَيَّامِ يَاعِيلَ هَجَرَ الْمُسَافِرُونَ الطُّرُقَ الْمَعْرُوفَةَ، وَلَجَأُوا إِلَى الْمَسَالِكِ الْمُلْتَوِيَةِ.٦
7 The villages ceased in Israel, Ceased until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother in Israel.
وَتَضَاءَلَ عَدَدُ سُكَّانِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، إِلَى أَنْ صَارَتْ دَبُورَةُ أُمّاً لإِسْرَائِيلَ.٧
8 They chose new gods; then was war 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 Jehovah!
قَلْبِي مَعَ قُضَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الَّذِينَ ضَحَّوْا بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ عَنْ رِضًى مِنْ بَيْنِ الشَّعْبِ، فَبَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ.٩
10 Ye that ride on white she-asses, ye that sit on carpets, and ye that walk by the way, consider.
أَيُّهَا الرَّاكِبُونَ الأُتُنَ الشُّهْبَ، الْجَالِسُونَ عَلَى طَنَافِسِ سُرُجِكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا السَّائِرُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، تَجَاوَبُوا.١٠
11 Because of the voice of those who divide [the spoil] in the midst of the places of drawing water; There they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, His righteous acts toward his villages in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah 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 captive thy captives, thou son of Abinoam!
اسْتَيْقِظِي يَا دَبُورَةُ، اسْتَيْقِظِي وَاهْتِفِي بِنَشِيدٍ. قُمْ يَا بَارَاقُ، وَخُذْ سَبْيَكَ إِلَى الأَسْرِ، يَا ابْنَ أَبِينُوعَمَ.١٢
13 Then come down, thou, the remnant of nobles, [as his] people; Jehovah! come down with me in the midst of the mighty ones.
عِنْدَئِذٍ أَقْبَلَ النَّاجُونَ إِلَى النُّبَلاءِ؛ انْحَدَرَ شَعْبُ الرَّبِّ وَالْتَفَّ حَوْلِي لِمُحَارَبَةِ الأَشِدَّاءِ.١٣
14 Out of Ephraim [came] those whose root was in Amalek; After thee was Benjamin among thy peoples. Out of Machir came down governors, And out of Zebulun they that handled the staff of the ruler.
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 And the princes in Issachar were with Deborah; And Issachar, like Barak; They were sent into the valley at his feet. In the divisions 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 abodest thou among the sheepfolds, To hear the bleating of the flocks? In the divisions of Reuben there were great deliberations of heart!
لِمَاذَا تَخَلَّفْتُمْ فِي حَظَائِرِكُمْ؟ أَلِتَسْمَعُوا صَفِيرَ الرُّعَاةِ إِلَى الْقُطْعَانِ؟ لَشَدَّ مَا تُسَامُ عَشَائِرُ رَأُوبَيْنَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الضَّمِيرِ.١٦
17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan; And Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat on the sea-shore, And abode in 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 is a people [that] jeoparded their lives unto death, Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
أَمَّا زَبُولُونُ وَنَفْتَالِي فَقَدْ عَرَّضَا حَيَاتَهُمَا لِلْمَوْتِ عِنْدَ رَوَابِي الْحَقْلِ.١٨
19 Kings came, — they fought; Then fought the kings of Canaan; At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; They took no spoil of silver.
احْتَشَدَ مُلُوكٌ وَحَارَبُوا، حَارَبَ مُلُوكُ كَنْعَانَ فِي تَعْنَكَ بِجِوَارِ مِيَاهِ مَجِدُّو، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَغْنَمُوا قِطْعَةَ فِضَّةٍ وَاحِدَةً.١٩
20 From heaven was the fight; The stars from their courses fought with Sisera.
مِنَ السَّمَاءِ حَارَبَتِ النُّجُومُ سِيسَرَا مِنْ مَسَارَاتِهَا.٢٠
21 The torrent of Kishon swept them away, That ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. My soul, thou hast trodden down strength!
وَفَاضَتْ مِيَاهُ نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ الْقَدِيمِ وَجَرَفَتْ رِجَالَهُ؛ فَتَقَدَّمِي يَا نَفْسِي بِعِزٍّ.٢١
22 Then did the horse-hoofs clatter with the coursings, The coursings of their steeds.
ثُمَّ تَرَدَّدَ وَقْعُ حَوَافِرِ خَيْلِ الْعَدُوِّ، مِنْ عَدْوِ الْجِيَادِ الضَّخْمَةِ.٢٢
23 Curse Meroz, saith the Angel of Jehovah; Curse, curse the inhabitants thereof; For they came not to the help of Jehovah, To the help of Jehovah among the mighty.
غَيْرَ أَنَّ مَلاكَ الرَّبِّ قَالَ: «الْعَنُوا مِيرُوزَ. الْعَنُوا سَاكِنِيهَا بِمَرَارَةٍ، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَأْتُوا لِلْمُحَارَبَةِ فِي صَفِّ الرَّبِّ ضِدَّ الْجَبَابِرَةِ».٢٣
24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, Blessed above women in the tent!
لِتَكُنْ يَاعِيلُ زَوْجَةُ حَابِرَ الْقَيْنِيِّ مُبَارَكَةً. لِتَكُنْ مُبَارَكَةً أَكْثَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ النِّسَاءِ سَاكِنَاتِ الْخِيَامِ.٢٤
25 He asked water, she gave milk; In the nobles' bowl she brought forth cream.
فَقَدْ سَأَلَهَا سِيسَرَا مَاءً فَأَعْطَتْهُ لَبَناً، قَدَّمَتْ لَهُ زُبْدَةً فِي وِعَاءِ الْعُظَمَاءِ.٢٥
26 She put her hand to the tent-pin, And her right hand to the workmen's hammer; And she smote Sisera, she struck through his head, Shattered and pierced through his temples.
ثُمَّ تَنَاوَلَتْ وَتَدَ الْخَيْمَةِ بِيَدٍ، وَمَدَّتْ يَمِينَهَا إِلَى الْمِطْرَقَةِ وَضَرَبَتْ سِيسَرَا فَسَحَقَتْ رَأْسَهُ وَشَدَخَتْ صُدْغَهُ وَخَرَقَتْهُ!٢٦
27 Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell, overcome.
فَانْطَرَحَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهَا. سَقَطَ، وَظَلَّ مُلْقىً هُنَاكَ. انْطَرَحَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيْهَا وَسَقَطَ. وَحَيْثُ انْطَرَحَ سَقَطَ قَتِيلاً.٢٧
28 Them other of Sisera looketh out at the window, And crieth through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the trampings of his chariots?
مِنَ الْكُوَّةِ أَشْرَفَتْ أُمُّ سِيسَرَا، وَمِنْ وَرَاءِ النَّافِذَةِ الْمُشَبَّكَةِ وَلْوَلَتْ: لِمَاذَا أَبْطَأَتْ مَرْكَبَاتُهُ عَنِ الْمَجِيءِ؟ لِمَاذَا تَأَخَّرَ صَرِيرُ وَقْعِ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ؟٢٨
29 The wise amongst her ladies answer [her], Yea, she returneth answer to herself,
فَأَجَابَتْهَا أَحْكَمُ نِسَائِهَا، بَلْ هِيَ أَجَابَتْ نَفْسَهَا:٢٩
30 Have they not found, divided the booty, A damsel, two damsels, to each? A booty of dyed stuffs for Sisera, A booty of dyed stuffs of embroidery, Dyed stuff of double embroidery for the neck of a spoiler?
«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 thine enemies perish, Jehovah! But let them that love him be as the rising of the sun in its might. And 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
