< Judges 5 >

1 Then sang Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, on that day, saying,
καὶ ᾖσαν Δεββωρα καὶ Βαρακ υἱὸς Αβινεεμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ λέγοντες
2 For that leaders led in Israel, For that the people willingly offered themselves, Bless Jehovah!
ἀπεκαλύφθη ἀποκάλυμμα ἐν Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ ἑκουσιασθῆναι λαὸν εὐλογεῖτε κύριον
3 Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, [even] I, will sing to Jehovah; I will hymn to Jehovah the God of Israel.
ἀκούσατε βασιλεῖς καὶ ἐνωτίσασθε σατράπαι ἐγώ εἰμι τῷ κυρίῳ ἐγώ εἰμι ᾄσομαι ψαλῶ τῷ κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ Ισραηλ
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.
κύριε ἐν τῇ ἐξόδῳ σου ἐν Σηιρ ἐν τῷ ἀπαίρειν σε ἐξ ἀγροῦ Εδωμ γῆ ἐσείσθη καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς ἔσταξεν δρόσους καὶ αἱ νεφέλαι ἔσταξαν ὕδωρ
5 The mountains quaked before the face of Jehovah, That Sinai, from before Jehovah the God of Israel.
ὄρη ἐσαλεύθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου κυρίου Ελωι τοῦτο Σινα ἀπὸ προσώπου κυρίου θεοῦ Ισραηλ
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.
ἐν ἡμέραις Σαμεγαρ υἱοῦ Αναθ ἐν ἡμέραις Ιαηλ ἐξέλιπον ὁδοὺς καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἀτραπούς ἐπορεύθησαν ὁδοὺς διεστραμμένας
7 The villages ceased in Israel, Ceased until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother in Israel.
ἐξέλιπον δυνατοὶ ἐν Ισραηλ ἐξέλιπον ἕως οὗ ἀναστῇ Δεββωρα ἕως οὗ ἀναστῇ μήτηρ ἐν Ισραηλ
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
ἐξελέξαντο θεοὺς καινούς τότε ἐπολέμησαν πόλεις ἀρχόντων θυρεὸς ἐὰν ὀφθῇ καὶ λόγχη ἐν τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάσιν ἐν Ισραηλ
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Jehovah!
ἡ καρδία μου εἰς τὰ διατεταγμένα τῷ Ισραηλ οἱ ἑκουσιαζόμενοι ἐν λαῷ εὐλογεῖτε κύριον
10 Ye that ride on white she-asses, ye that sit on carpets, and ye that walk by the way, consider.
ἐπιβεβηκότες ἐπὶ ὄνου θηλείας μεσημβρίας καθήμενοι ἐπὶ κριτηρίου καὶ πορευόμενοι ἐπὶ ὁδοὺς συνέδρων ἐφ’ ὁδῷ
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.
διηγεῖσθε ἀπὸ φωνῆς ἀνακρουομένων ἀνὰ μέσον ὑδρευομένων ἐκεῖ δώσουσιν δικαιοσύνας κυρίῳ δικαιοσύνας αὔξησον ἐν Ισραηλ τότε κατέβη εἰς τὰς πόλεις λαὸς κυρίου
12 Awake, awake, Deborah! awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead captive thy captives, thou son of Abinoam!
ἐξεγείρου ἐξεγείρου Δεββωρα ἐξεγείρου ἐξεγείρου λάλησον ᾠδήν ἀνάστα Βαρακ καὶ αἰχμαλώτισον αἰχμαλωσίαν σου υἱὸς Αβινεεμ
13 Then come down, thou, the remnant of nobles, [as his] people; Jehovah! come down with me in the midst of the mighty ones.
τότε κατέβη κατάλειμμα τοῖς ἰσχυροῖς λαὸς κυρίου κατέβη αὐτῷ ἐν τοῖς κραταιοῖς
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.
ἐξ ἐμοῦ Εφραιμ ἐξερρίζωσεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ Αμαληκ ὀπίσω σου Βενιαμιν ἐν τοῖς λαοῖς σου ἐν ἐμοὶ Μαχιρ κατέβησαν ἐξερευνῶντες καὶ ἀπὸ Ζαβουλων ἕλκοντες ἐν ῥάβδῳ διηγήσεως γραμματέως
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!
καὶ ἀρχηγοὶ ἐν Ισσαχαρ μετὰ Δεββωρας καὶ Βαρακ οὕτως Βαρακ ἐν κοιλάσιν ἀπέστειλεν ἐν ποσὶν αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰς μερίδας Ρουβην μεγάλοι ἐξικνούμενοι καρδίαν
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!
εἰς τί ἐκάθισαν ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς διγομίας τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι συρισμοῦ ἀγγέλων εἰς διαιρέσεις Ρουβην μεγάλοι ἐξετασμοὶ καρδίας
17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan; And Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat on the sea-shore, And abode in his creeks.
Γαλααδ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ιορδάνου ἐσκήνωσεν καὶ Δαν εἰς τί παροικεῖ πλοίοις Ασηρ ἐκάθισεν παραλίαν θαλασσῶν καὶ ἐπὶ διεξόδοις αὐτοῦ σκηνώσει
18 Zebulun is a people [that] jeoparded their lives unto death, Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
Ζαβουλων λαὸς ὠνείδισεν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ εἰς θάνατον καὶ Νεφθαλι ἐπὶ ὕψη ἀγροῦ
19 Kings came, — they fought; Then fought the kings of Canaan; At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; They took no spoil of silver.
ἦλθον αὐτῶν βασιλεῖς παρετάξαντο τότε ἐπολέμησαν βασιλεῖς Χανααν ἐν Θανααχ ἐπὶ ὕδατι Μεγεδδω δῶρον ἀργυρίου οὐκ ἔλαβον
20 From heaven was the fight; The stars from their courses fought with Sisera.
ἐξ οὐρανοῦ παρετάξαντο οἱ ἀστέρες ἐκ τρίβων αὐτῶν παρετάξαντο μετὰ Σισαρα
21 The torrent of Kishon swept them away, That ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. My soul, thou hast trodden down strength!
χειμάρρους Κισων ἐξέσυρεν αὐτούς χειμάρρους ἀρχαίων χειμάρρους Κισων καταπατήσει αὐτὸν ψυχή μου δυνατή
22 Then did the horse-hoofs clatter with the coursings, The coursings of their steeds.
τότε ἐνεποδίσθησαν πτέρναι ἵππου σπουδῇ ἔσπευσαν ἰσχυροὶ αὐτοῦ
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.
καταρᾶσθε Μηρωζ εἶπεν ἄγγελος κυρίου καταρᾶσθε ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὁ κατοικῶν αὐτήν ὅτι οὐκ ἤλθοσαν εἰς βοήθειαν κυρίου εἰς βοήθειαν ἐν δυνατοῖς
24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, Blessed above women in the tent!
εὐλογηθείη ἐν γυναιξὶν Ιαηλ γυνὴ Χαβερ τοῦ Κιναίου ἀπὸ γυναικῶν ἐν σκηναῖς εὐλογηθείη
25 He asked water, she gave milk; In the nobles' bowl she brought forth cream.
ὕδωρ ᾔτησεν γάλα ἔδωκεν ἐν λεκάνῃ ὑπερεχόντων προσήνεγκεν βούτυρον
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.
χεῖρα αὐτῆς ἀριστερὰν εἰς πάσσαλον ἐξέτεινεν καὶ δεξιὰν αὐτῆς εἰς σφῦραν κοπιώντων καὶ ἐσφυροκόπησεν Σισαρα διήλωσεν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξεν διήλωσεν κρόταφον αὐτοῦ
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.
ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῆς κατεκυλίσθη ἔπεσεν καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῆς κατακλιθεὶς ἔπεσεν καθὼς κατεκλίθη ἐκεῖ ἔπεσεν ἐξοδευθείς
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?
διὰ τῆς θυρίδος παρέκυψεν μήτηρ Σισαρα ἐκτὸς τοῦ τοξικοῦ διότι ᾐσχύνθη ἅρμα αὐτοῦ διότι ἐχρόνισαν πόδες ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ
29 The wise amongst her ladies answer [her], Yea, she returneth answer to herself,
αἱ σοφαὶ ἄρχουσαι αὐτῆς ἀπεκρίθησαν πρὸς αὐτήν καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπέστρεψεν λόγους αὐτῆς ἑαυτῇ
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?
οὐχ εὑρήσουσιν αὐτὸν διαμερίζοντα σκῦλα οἰκτίρμων οἰκτιρήσει εἰς κεφαλὴν ἀνδρός σκῦλα βαμμάτων τῷ Σισαρα σκῦλα βαμμάτων ποικιλίας βάμματα ποικιλτῶν αὐτά τῷ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ σκῦλα
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.
οὕτως ἀπόλοιντο πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί σου κύριε καὶ οἱ ἀγαπῶντες αὐτὸν ὡς ἔξοδος ἡλίου ἐν δυνάμει αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη
