Judges 5

1 On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:

1 那一天，底波拉和亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉高唱凯歌：

2 “When the princes take the lead in Israel, when the people volunteer, bless the LORD.

2 “以色列的首领身先士卒， 民众前仆后继， 你们要赞美耶和华！

3 Listen, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.

3 君王啊，请听！首领啊，请侧耳听！ 我要向耶和华歌唱， 我要歌颂以色列的上帝耶和华。

4 O LORD, when You went out from Seir, when You marched from the land of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens poured out rain, and the clouds poured down water.

4 耶和华啊，当你从西珥出来， 走过以东时， 大地震动， 天上下雨， 云降雨水。

5 The mountains quaked before the LORD, the One of Sinai, before the LORD, the God of Israel.

5 在西奈山的耶和华面前， 在以色列的上帝耶和华面前， 群山震动。

6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were deserted and the travelers took the byways.

6 在亚拿的儿子珊迦与雅亿的时代， 大路行人绝迹， 旅客绕道前行。

7 Life in the villages ceased; it ended in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose, a mother in Israel.

7 我底波拉做以色列之母以前， 以色列的乡村杳无人烟。

8 When they chose new gods, then war came to their gates. Not a shield or spear was found among forty thousand in Israel.

8 以色列人选择新的神明， 便战祸临门， 四万以色列人中找不到一矛一盾。

9 My heart is with the princes of Israel, with the volunteers among the people. Bless the LORD!

9 我的心追随以色列的首领， 追随民中踊跃出征的人。 你们要赞美耶和华！

10 You who ride white donkeys, who sit on saddle blankets, and you who travel the road, ponder

10 “你们骑白驴的、坐绣花毯子的、步行的， 都要倾听。

11 the voices of the singers at the watering places. There they shall recount the righteous acts of the LORD, the righteous deeds of His villagers in Israel. Then the people of the LORD went down to the gates:

11 歌乐手聚集在井旁， 传扬耶和华和祂以色列子民的胜利。 耶和华的子民都来到城门口。

12 ‘Awake, awake, O Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, O Barak, and take hold of your captives, O son of Abinoam!’

12 “底波拉啊，来吧，来吧， 歌唱吧！ 亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉啊，来吧， 带走你的战俘吧！

13 Then the survivors came down to the nobles; the people of the LORD came down to me against the mighty.

13 幸存的以色列人响应他们的首领， 耶和华的子民为我攻击勇士。

14 Some came from Ephraim, with their roots in Amalek; Benjamin came with your people after you. The commanders came down from Machir, the bearers of the marshal’s staff from Zebulun.

14 他们有些来自原属亚玛力人的以法莲， 有些来自便雅悯， 统领出自玛吉， 将官出自西布伦。

15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah, and Issachar was with Barak, rushing into the valley at his heels. In the clans of Reuben there was great indecision.

15 以萨迦的首领与底波拉同往， 以萨迦人随巴拉同去， 众人一起冲进山谷， 吕便人却犹豫不决。

16 Why did you sit among the sheepfolds to hear the whistling for the flocks? In the clans of Reuben there was great indecision.

16 吕便人为什么坐在羊圈中听悠悠笛声？ 他们举棋不定。

17 Gilead remained beyond the Jordan. Dan, why did you linger by the ships? Asher stayed at the coast and remained in his harbors.

17 基列人留在约旦河东岸。 但人为什么停留在船上？ 亚设人在海岸静坐， 在港口逗留。

18 Zebulun was a people who risked their lives; Naphtali, too, on the heights of the battlefield.

18 但西布伦人舍生忘死， 拿弗他利人拼死鏖战沙场。

19 Kings came and fought; then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, but they took no plunder of silver.

19 “迦南诸王来战， 来到米吉多河边的他纳交战， 却没有掠走金银。

20 From the heavens the stars fought; from their courses they fought against Sisera.

20 星辰从天上争战， 从它们的轨道攻击西西拉。

21 The River Kishon swept them away, the ancient river, the River Kishon. March on, O my soul, in strength!

21 古老的基顺河冲走了敌人。 我的心啊，要奋勇向前！

22 Then the hooves of horses thundered—the mad galloping of his stallions.

22 蹄声隆隆， 骏马疾驰！

23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ says the angel of the LORD. ‘Bitterly curse her inhabitants; for they did not come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty.’

23 “耶和华的天使说， ‘要咒诅米罗斯， 要重重地咒诅米罗斯的居民， 因为他们没有帮助耶和华， 没有帮助耶和华攻击强敌。’

24 Most blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, most blessed of tent-dwelling women.

24 “基尼人希百的妻子雅亿是妇人中最有福的， 是住帐篷的妇人中最有福的。

25 He asked for water, and she gave him milk. In a magnificent bowl she brought him curds.

25 西西拉求水， 雅亿给他奶喝， 用珍贵的碗盛上奶酪。

26 She reached for the tent peg, her right hand for the workman’s hammer. She struck Sisera and crushed his skull; she shattered and pierced his temple.

26 雅亿左手拿起橛子， 右手拿起工匠的锤子， 猛击西西拉， 打碎了他的头， 刺透了他的太阳穴。

27 At her feet he collapsed, he fell, there he lay still; at her feet he collapsed, he fell; where he collapsed, there he fell dead.

27 西西拉屈身倒下， 死在她脚前， 一动不动地躺在那里。

28 Sisera’s mother looked through the window; she peered through the lattice and lamented: ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? What has delayed the clatter of his chariots?’

28 “西西拉的母亲凭窗远眺， 隔着窗棂喊道， ‘为什么他的战车迟迟不回？ 为什么还听不到车轮声？’

29 Her wisest ladies answer; indeed she keeps telling herself,

29 聪明的宫女安慰她， 她却依然自言自语，

30 ‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoil—a girl or two for each warrior, a plunder of dyed garments for Sisera, the spoil of embroidered garments for the neck of the looter?’

30 ‘莫非他们在搜索、瓜分战利品？ 每人得到一两个少女， 西西拉分得绣花彩巾， 绣花的彩色围巾作战利品。’

31 So may all Your enemies perish, O LORD! But may those who love You shine like the sun at its brightest.” And the land had rest for forty years.

31 耶和华啊， 愿你的敌人都像西西拉一样灭亡！ 愿爱你的人都如升起的太阳， 光辉熠熠！” 此后，以色列安享太平四十年。
