Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah, and Barak, son of Abinoam, —on that day, saying: —
那時，底波拉和亞比挪菴的兒子巴拉作歌，說：
2 For the leadership of leaders in Israel, For the volunteering of the people, —Bless ye Yahweh!
因為以色列中有軍長率領， 百姓也甘心犧牲自己， 你們應當頌讚耶和華！
3 Hear, ye kings! Give ear, ye princes! I, unto Yahweh, —I, will sing, Will make melody to Yahweh, God of Israel.
君王啊，要聽！ 王子啊，要側耳而聽！ 我要向耶和華歌唱； 我要歌頌耶和華－以色列的上帝。
4 O Yahweh! When thou didst come forth out of Seir, When thou didst march along out of the field of Edom, Earth, trembled, Heaven also, poured forth, —Yea, dark clouds, poured forth waters;
耶和華啊，你從西珥出來， 由以東地行走。 那時地震天漏， 雲也落雨。
5 From, mountains, came down streams In presence of Yahweh, —From this Sinai, In presence of Yahweh, God of Israel.
山見耶和華的面就震動， 西奈山見耶和華－以色列上帝的面也是如此。
6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the roads were forsaken, —and, the frequenters of highways, betook them to roundabout paths:
在亞拿之子珊迦的時候， 又在雅億的日子， 大道無人行走， 都是繞道而行。
7 There was a failure of rulers, in Israel, a failure, —until I arose, a Deborah, arose, a mother in Israel: —
以色列中的官長停職， 直到我底波拉興起， 等我興起作以色列的母。
8 They chose gods that were new, Then, —war at the gates! Was there, a shield, to be seen? or a spear? among forty thousand in Israel?
以色列人選擇新神， 爭戰的事就臨到城門。 那時，以色列四萬人中 豈能見盾牌槍矛呢？
9 My heart [saith] —for the governors of Israel, for the volunteers among the people, Bless ye Yahweh!
我心傾向以色列的首領， 他們在民中甘心犧牲自己。 你們應當頌讚耶和華！
10 Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on carpets, and ye that walk upon the road, speak!
騎白驢的、坐繡花毯子的、行路的， 你們都當傳揚！
11 In the place of the noise of bowmen among the wells, there, laud ye—the righteous acts of Yahweh, the righteous acts of his rule over Israel. Then, had come down to the gates the people of Yahweh.
在遠離弓箭響聲打水之處， 人必述說耶和華公義的作為， 就是他治理以色列公義的作為。 那時耶和華的民下到城門。
12 Awake! awake! Deborah, Awake! awake! utter words of song, —Arise! Barak, and bind fast thy captives, O son of Abinoam!
底波拉啊，興起！興起！ 你當興起，興起，唱歌。 亞比挪菴的兒子巴拉啊，你當奮興， 擄掠你的敵人。
13 Then, came down a remnant to the nobles—a people, —Yahweh, came down with me against the mighty.
那時有餘剩的貴冑和百姓一同下來； 耶和華降臨，為我攻擊勇士。
14 Out of Ephraim, [came down] they whose root was in Amalek, After thee, Benjamin, among thy tribes, —Out of Machir, had come down governors, And, out of Zebulun, such as bear aloft the staff of the marshal;
有根本在亞瑪力人的地， 從以法蓮下來的； 便雅憫在民中跟隨你。 有掌權的從瑪吉下來； 有持杖檢點民數的從西布倫下來；
15 And, my princes in Issachar, were with Deborah, yea, Issachar, was the support of Barak, Into the vale rushed they forth at his feet. Among the divisions of Reuben, great were the resolves of the heart:
以薩迦的首領與底波拉同來； 以薩迦怎樣，巴拉也怎樣。 眾人都跟隨巴拉衝下平原； 在呂便的溪水旁有心中定大志的。
16 Wherefore abodes thou among the folds? To hear the mocking of the flocks? The divisions of Reuben, had great counsellings of heart.
你為何坐在羊圈內 聽群中吹笛的聲音呢？ 在呂便的溪水旁有心中設大謀的。
17 Gilead, beyond the Jordan, took his rest, but, Dan, wherefore remained he with the ships? Asher, abode by the shore of the seas, and, by his creeks, must needs rest.
基列人安居在約旦河外。 但人為何等在船上？ 亞設人在海口靜坐， 在港口安居。
18 Zebulun—a people that scorned their souls unto death; and, Naphtali, —upon the heights of the field.
西布倫人是拚命敢死的； 拿弗他利人在田野的高處也是如此。
19 On came kings, they fought, Then, fought the kings of Canaan, In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo, —Plunder of silver, they took not away!
君王都來爭戰。 那時迦南諸王在米吉多水旁的他納爭戰， 卻未得擄掠銀錢。
20 From heaven, was the battle fought, —The stars in their courses, fought against Sisera.
星宿從天上爭戰， 從其軌道攻擊西西拉。
21 The torrent of Kishon, swept them away, the torrent of olden times, the torrent of Kishon! Let my soul march along, with victorious strength!
基順古河把敵人沖沒； 我的靈啊，應當努力前行。
22 Then, stamped hoofs of horses, With the gallopings, gallopings of his mighty steeds.
那時壯馬馳驅， 踢跳，奔騰。
23 Curse ye Meroz, saith the messenger of Yahweh, Curse ye with a curse, the inhabitants thereof, —because they came not in to the help of Yahweh, to the help of Yahweh, against the mighty.
耶和華的使者說： 應當咒詛米羅斯， 大大咒詛其中的居民； 因為他們不來幫助耶和華， 不來幫助耶和華攻擊勇士。
24 Blessed above women, shall be Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite, —Above women in the tent, be blessed:
願基尼人希百的妻雅億比眾婦人多得福氣， 比住帳棚的婦人更蒙福祉。
25 Water, he asked, Milk, she gave, —In a bowl for nobles, presented cream:
西西拉求水， 雅億給他奶子， 用寶貴的盤子給他奶油。
26 Her hand, to the tent-pin, put she forth, and, her right hand, to the toilers’ mallet, —Then smote she Sisera, She shattered his head, Yea she split open and pierced through his temples:
雅億左手拿着帳棚的橛子， 右手拿着匠人的錘子， 擊打西西拉， 打傷他的頭， 把他的鬢角打破穿通。
27 Between her feet, he bowed—he fell, he lay, —Between her feet, he bowed—he fell, Where he bowed, There, he fell—destroyed!
西西拉在她腳前曲身仆倒， 在她腳前曲身倒臥； 在那裏曲身，就在那裏死亡。
28 Through the window, looked out and shrilly cried, The mother of Sisera, through the lattice, —Why is his chariot ashamed to come? Why delay the wheels of his chariot?
西西拉的母親從窗戶裏往外觀看， 從窗櫺中呼叫說： 他的戰車為何耽延不來呢？ 他的車輪為何行得慢呢？
29 The wise ladies, her princesses, responded, —Nay! she, returned answer to, herself: —
聰明的宮女安慰她， 她也自言自語地說：
30 Is it not They keep finding—dividing spoil, One damsel, two damsels, to every several hero, Spoil, of divers coloured raiment for Sisera, Spoil, of divers coloured raiment, embroidered, Coloured raiment richly embroidered, on the necks of them who are taken as spoil?
他們莫非得財而分？ 每人得了一兩個女子？ 西西拉得了彩衣為擄物， 得繡花的彩衣為掠物。 這彩衣兩面繡花， 乃是披在被擄之人頸項上的。
31 So, perish all thine enemies, O Yahweh, But be, they who love him, as the going forth of the sun, in his might! And the land had rest forty years.
耶和華啊， 願你的仇敵都這樣滅亡！ 願愛你的人如日頭出現，光輝烈烈！ 這樣，國中太平四十年。
