1Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
1底波拉和巴拉之歌那一天，底波拉和亞比挪菴的兒子巴拉唱起歌來說：
2“Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, Yahweh!
2“你們要稱頌耶和華，因為以色列中有勇士，因為有人民自願從軍。
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.
3君王啊，你們要聽；官長啊，你們要側耳傾聽；至於我，我要向耶和華歌唱；我要歌頌耶和華以色列的 神。
4“Yahweh, when you went forth out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the sky also dropped. Yes, the clouds dropped water.
4耶和華啊，你從西珥出發的時候，你從以東地行走的日子，地震天漏，密雲也滴下雨。
5The mountains quaked at the presence of Yahweh, even Sinai, at the presence of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
5群山在耶和華面前震動；這西奈山在耶和華以色列的 神面前也是這樣。
6“In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through byways.
6在亞拿的兒子珊迦的時候，在雅億的日子，大道無人行走，行路的人繞道而行。
7The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother in Israel.
7以色列中的農村消失了，消失了，直到我底波拉興起，直到我以色列的母親興起。
8They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
8以色列人選擇了新的神，戰爭就臨近城門；那時四萬以色列人中，竟不見有一面盾牌、一枝長矛。
9My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Yahweh!
9我的心傾向以色列的官長，他們在民中甘願犧牲自己；你們要稱頌耶和華。
10“Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk by the way.
10騎白驢的，坐錦墊的，和路上的行人，你們都要歌唱。
11Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they will rehearse the righteous acts of Yahweh, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. “Then the people of Yahweh went down to the gates.
11在打水的地方分開羊群的人發聲，在那裡人必歌頌耶和華公義的作為，就是他在以色列中的農村所行公義的作為；那時，耶和華的子民下到城門口。
12‘Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.’
12興起，興起，底波拉！興起，興起，唱歌吧！興起，巴拉！亞比挪菴的兒子，擄掠你的俘虜吧！
13“Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down. Yahweh came down for me against the mighty.
13那時餘剩的貴胄下來；耶和華帶著勇士下到我這裡來。
14Those 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.
14他們出自以法蓮，他們的根在亞瑪力人之地；有便雅憫在你的族人中跟隨你，有官長從瑪吉下來；有持著數點民數之權杖的，從西布倫出來。
15The 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.
15以薩迦的領袖與底波拉在一起；以薩迦怎樣，巴拉也怎樣；他們都步行下到山谷去。在流本的眾溪旁，有心懷大志的。
16Why did you sit among the sheepfolds, To hear the whistling for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben There were great searchings of heart.
16你為甚麼坐在羊圈之中，聽呼喚群畜的笛聲呢？在流本的眾溪旁，有心懷大志的。
17Gilead lived beyond the Jordan. Why did Dan remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and lived by his creeks.
17基列人在約旦河東邊居住；但人為甚麼居留在船上呢？亞設人在海岸坐著，在港灣居住。
18Zebulun was a people that jeopardized their lives to the deaths; Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
18西布倫人是敢死的民族；拿弗他利人在田野的高處，奮不顧身。
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.
19眾王都來爭戰；那時迦南眾王爭戰，在米吉多水亭的他納爭戰，卻沒有取得銀錢。
20From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
20眾星從天上爭戰，從它們的軌道與西西拉交戰。
21The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
21基順河的急流把他們沖沒，古河的急流、基順河的急流，我的心哪，你要努力踐踏。
22Then the horse hoofs stamped because of the prancings, the prancings of their strong ones.
22那時馬蹄沓沓，勇士急奔飛馳。
23‘Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of Yahweh. ‘Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they didn’t come to help Yahweh, to help Yahweh against the mighty.’
23耶和華的使者說：‘你們要咒詛米羅斯，大大咒詛其中的居民；因為他們不來幫助耶和華，不帶領勇士幫助耶和華。’
24“Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
24願基尼人希伯的妻子雅億，比眾婦女更有福氣，比住在帳棚的婦女更有福氣。
25He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
25西西拉求水，雅億給了奶；用珍貴的盤子奉上乳酪。
26She 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.
26她伸手拿著帳棚的橛子，右手拿著匠人的鎚子，擊打西西拉，打破他的頭，粉碎他的頭顱，貫穿他的鬢角。
27At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he bowed, he fell. Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
27西西拉在雅億腳前屈身、仆倒、躺臥，在雅億腳前屈身、仆倒；他在那裡屈身，就在那裡仆倒死亡。
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?’
28西西拉的母親從窗戶裡向外觀望，從窗櫺中呼叫說：‘他的戰車為甚麼遲遲不來呢？車輪為甚麼行得緩慢呢？’
29Her wise ladies answered her, Yes, she returned answer to herself,
29聰明的宮女回答她；她也自己回答說：
30‘Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A lady, two ladies to every man; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments embroidered, of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the spoil?’
30‘莫非他們正在分戰利品？每個勇士分得一兩個女子；西西拉得了彩衣作戰利品，得了一兩件繡花的彩衣作戰利品，為我的頸項，得著繡花的彩衣作戰利品嗎？’
31“So let all your enemies perish, Yahweh, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises forth in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.
31耶和華啊，願你所有的仇敵都這樣滅亡；願愛他的人像太陽出現，大有能力。”於是國中太平了四十年。
