1 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
2 "Because the leaders took the lead in Israel,
because the people offered themselves willingly,
be blessed, Yahweh!
3 "Hear, you kings!
Give ear, you princes!
I, even I, will sing to Yahweh.
I will sing praise to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
4 "Yahweh, when you went out of Seir,
when you marched out of the field of Edom,
the earth trembled, the sky also dropped.
Yes, the clouds dropped water.
5 The mountains quaked at Yahweh’s presence,
even Sinai at the presence of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
6 "In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath,
in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied.
The travelers walked through byways.
7 The rulers ceased in Israel.
They ceased until I, Deborah, arose;
Until I arose a mother in Israel.
8 They chose new gods.
Then war was in the gates.
Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel,
who offered themselves willingly among the people.
Bless Yahweh!
10 "Speak, you who ride on white donkeys,
you who sit on rich carpets,
and you who walk by the way.
11 Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water,
there they will rehearse Yahweh’s righteous acts,
the righteous acts of his rule in Israel.
"Then Yahweh’s people went down to the gates.
12 ‘Awake, awake, Deborah!
Awake, awake, utter a song!
Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.’
13 "Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down.
Yahweh came down for me against the mighty.
14 Those whose root is in Amalek came out of Ephraim,
after you, Benjamin, among your peoples.
Governors come down out of Machir.
Those who handle the marshal’s staff came out of Zebulun.
15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah.
As was Issachar, so was Barak.
They rushed into the valley at his feet.
By the watercourses of Reuben,
there were great resolves of heart.
16 Why did you sit among the sheepfolds?
To hear the whistling for the flocks?
At the watercourses of Reuben,
there were great searchings of heart.
17 Gilead lived beyond the Jordan.
Why did Dan remain in ships?
Asher sat still at the haven of the sea,
and lived by his creeks.
18 Zebulun was a people that jeopardized their lives to the death;
Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
19 "The kings came and fought,
then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo.
They took no plunder of silver.
20 From the sky the stars fought.
From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
21 The river Kishon swept them away,
that ancient river, the river Kishon.
My soul, march on with strength.
22 Then the horse hoofs stamped because of the prancing,
the prancing of their strong ones.
23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ said Yahweh’s angel.
‘Curse bitterly its inhabitants,
because they didn’t come to help Yahweh,
to help Yahweh against the mighty.’
24 "Jael shall be blessed above women,
the wife of Heber the Kenite;
blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 He asked for water.
She gave him milk.
She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
26 She put her hand to the tent peg,
and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer.
With the hammer she struck Sisera.
She struck through his head.
Yes, she pierced and struck through his temples.
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay.
At her feet he bowed, he fell.
Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
28 "Through the window she looked out, and cried:
Sisera’s mother looked through the lattice.
‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?
Why do the wheels of his chariots wait?’
29 Her wise ladies answered her,
Yes, she returned answer to herself,
30 ‘Have they not found, have they not divided the plunder?
A lady, two ladies to every man;
to Sisera a plunder of dyed garments,
a plunder of dyed garments embroidered,
of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the plunder?’
31 "So let all your enemies perish, Yahweh,
but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength."
Then the land had rest forty years.
1 那一天， 底波拉和亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉唱起歌来说：
2 "你们要称颂耶和华， 因为以色列中有勇士， 因为有人民自愿从军。
3 君王啊， 你们要听； 官长啊， 你们要侧耳倾听； 至于我， 我要向耶和华歌唱； 我要歌颂耶和华以色列的 神。
4 耶和华啊， 你从西珥出发的时候， 你从以东地行走的日子， 地震天漏， 密云也滴下雨。
5 群山在耶和华面前震动； 这西奈山在耶和华以色列的 神面前也是这样。
6 在亚拿的儿子珊迦的时候， 在雅亿的日子， 大道无人行走， 行路的人绕道而行。
7 以色列中的农村消失了， 消失了， 直到我底波拉兴起， 直到我以色列的母亲兴起。
8 以色列人选择了新的神， 战争就临近城门； 那时四万以色列人中， 竟不见有一面盾牌、一枝长矛。
9 我的心倾向以色列的官长， 他们在民中甘愿牺牲自己； 你们要称颂耶和华。
10 骑白驴的， 坐锦垫的， 和路上的行人， 你们都要歌唱。
11 在打水的地方分开羊群的人发声， 在那里人必歌颂耶和华公义的作为， 就是他在以色列中的农村所行公义的作为； 那时， 耶和华的子民下到城门口。
12 兴起， 兴起， 底波拉！ 兴起， 兴起， 唱歌吧！ 兴起， 巴拉！ 亚比挪庵的儿子， 掳掠你的俘虏吧！
13 那时余剩的贵胄下来； 耶和华带着勇士下到我这里来。
14 他们出自以法莲， 他们的根在亚玛力人之地； 有便雅悯在你的族人中跟随你， 有官长从玛吉下来； 有持着数点民数之权杖的， 从西布伦出来。
15 以萨迦的领袖与底波拉在一起； 以萨迦怎样， 巴拉也怎样； 他们都步行下到山谷去。在流本的众溪旁， 有心怀大志的。
16 你为什么坐在羊圈之中， 听呼唤群畜的笛声呢？在流本的众溪旁， 有心怀大志的。
17 基列人在约旦河东边居住； 但人为什么居留在船上呢？亚设人在海岸坐着， 在港湾居住。
18 西布伦人是敢死的民族； 拿弗他利人在田野的高处， 奋不顾身。
19 众王都来争战； 那时迦南众王争战， 在米吉多水亭的他纳争战， 却没有取得银钱。
20 众星从天上争战， 从它们的轨道与西西拉交战。
21 基顺河的急流把他们冲没， 古河的急流、基顺河的急流， 我的心哪， 你要努力践踏。
22 那时马蹄沓沓， 勇士急奔飞驰。
23 耶和华的使者说： ‘你们要咒诅米罗斯， 大大咒诅其中的居民； 因为他们不来帮助耶和华， 不带领勇士帮助耶和华。’
24 愿基尼人希伯的妻子雅亿， 比众妇女更有福气， 比住在帐棚的妇女更有福气。
25 西西拉求水， 雅亿给了奶； 用珍贵的盘子奉上乳酪。
26 她伸手拿着帐棚的橛子， 右手拿着匠人的锤子， 击打西西拉， 打破他的头， 粉碎他的头颅， 贯穿他的鬓角。
27 西西拉在雅亿脚前屈身、仆倒、躺卧， 在雅亿脚前屈身、仆倒； 他在那里屈身， 就在那里仆倒死亡。
28 西西拉的母亲从窗户里向外观望， 从窗棂中呼叫说： ‘他的战车为什么迟迟不来呢？车轮为什么行得缓慢呢？’
29 聪明的宫女回答她； 她也自己回答说：
30 ‘莫非他们正在分战利品？每个勇士分得一两个女子； 西西拉得了彩衣作战利品， 得了一两件绣花的彩衣作战利品， 为我的颈项， 得着绣花的彩衣作战利品吗？’
31 耶和华啊， 愿你所有的仇敌都这样灭亡； 愿爱他的人像太阳出现， 大有能力。"于是国中太平了四十年。
