士师记 4
Chinese New Version (Traditional)

底波拉和巴拉

4 以笏死後，以色列人又行了耶和華看為惡的事。 2 因此耶和華把他們交在迦南王耶賓手中，耶賓那時在夏瑣作王；他的軍長西西拉，住在夏羅設歌印。 3 耶賓王有鐵車九百輛，他極力欺壓以色列人二十年，以色列人就哀求耶和華。

4 有一位女先知底波拉，是拉比多的妻子，那時正治理以色列人。 5 她常坐在以法蓮山地，拉瑪和伯特利之間那棵底波拉棕樹下；以色列人都上到她那裡去聽判斷。 6 底波拉派人去從拿弗他利的基低斯，把亞比挪菴的兒子巴拉召了來，對他說：“耶和華以色列的　神不是曾吩咐你說：‘你去向他泊山進軍，從拿弗他利人和西布倫人中率領一萬人與你同去嗎？ 7 我必引耶賓的軍長西西拉，和他的車輛與全軍，到基順河往你那裡去；我必把他們交在你手裡。’” 8 巴拉對她說：“如果你與我同去，我就去；如果你不與我同去，我就不去。” 9 底波拉回答：“我必與你同去，只是你這次行程就沒有光榮；因為耶和華要把西西拉交在一個婦人手裡。”於是底波拉起來，與巴拉一同到基低斯去了。 10 巴拉就召集西布倫人和拿弗他利人到基低斯；與他一同步行上去的有一萬人，底波拉也與他一同上去。

11 摩西的岳父何巴的子孫基尼人希伯，曾經離開基尼族人，到靠近基低斯的撒拿音的橡樹旁，支搭帳棚居住。

12 有人告訴西西拉，亞比挪菴的兒子巴拉已經上了他泊山； 13 西西拉就召集他所有的車輛，就是九百輛鐵車，和與他在一起的眾人，都從夏羅設歌印出來，到基順河那裡。 14 底波拉對巴拉說：“你起來吧，因為今日就是耶和華把西西拉交在你手裡的日子；耶和華不是在你前面出戰嗎？”於是巴拉和跟隨他的一萬人從他泊山下來。 15 耶和華用刀使西西拉和所有的車輛與全軍，都在巴拉面前潰亂；西西拉下了車，步行逃跑。 16 巴拉追趕西西拉的車輛和軍隊，直到夏羅設歌印；西西拉的全軍都倒在刀下，連一個也沒有留下。

雅億殺西西拉

17 只有西西拉步行逃跑，到了基尼人希伯的妻子雅億的帳棚那裡；因為夏瑣王耶賓與基尼人希伯的家友好。 18 雅億出來迎接西西拉，對他說：“請我主轉過來，到我這裡，不要懼怕。”西西拉就轉到她那裡去，就是轉到她的帳棚裡去；雅億就用毛氈遮蓋他。 19 西西拉對雅億說：“請給我一點水喝，因為我渴了。”雅億就打開盛奶的皮袋，給他喝了，再把他蓋著。 20 西西拉又對雅億說：“請你站在帳棚門口，如果有人來問你：‘這裡有人嗎？’你就要回答：‘沒有。’” 21 希伯的妻子雅億取了一根帳棚的橛子，手裡拿著鎚子，靜悄悄地走到西西拉那裡，把橛子釘在他的太陽穴裡，直釘入地裡；因為西西拉疲乏熟睡，就這樣死了。 22 那時，巴拉追趕西西拉，雅億出來迎接他，對他說：“來吧，我給你看你尋找的人。”他就進到她那裡去；看見西西拉已經仆倒，死了；橛子還在他的太陽穴裡。

23 這樣，　神就在那一天，在以色列人面前，制伏了迦南王耶賓。 24 以色列人的勢力日漸強盛，勝過迦南王耶賓，終於把迦南王耶賓除滅。

士師記 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)

士師底波拉

4 以笏死後，以色列人又做耶和華視為惡的事。 2 耶和華把他們交在統治夏瑣的迦南王耶賓手中。耶賓王的將軍叫西西拉，住在夏羅設。 3 耶賓王擁有九百輛鐵戰車，他殘暴地壓迫以色列人二十年。以色列人向耶和華呼求。

4 當時做士師的是一位名叫底波拉的女先知，她是拉比多的妻子， 5 經常坐在以法蓮山區拉瑪和伯特利之間的底波拉棕樹下，審理以色列人的事情。 6 她派人去拿弗他利的基低斯召來亞比挪庵的兒子巴拉，對他說：「以色列的上帝耶和華命你率領一萬拿弗他利人和西布倫人上他泊山。 7 祂必使耶賓的將軍西西拉率領全軍和戰車到基順河與你交戰，祂必把西西拉交在你手中。」 8 巴拉回答說：「你跟我去，我就去；你不跟我去，我就不去。」 9 底波拉說：「好，我一定與你同去。不過，你這次出征一定得不到榮耀，因為耶和華要把西西拉交在一名婦人手上。」於是，他們一同前往基低斯。 10 巴拉招聚了一萬名拿弗他利人和西布倫人，底波拉與他一起出征。

11 摩西的岳父何巴的後人基尼人希百離開自己的族人，在基低斯附近撒拿音的橡樹旁搭帳篷居住。

12 西西拉得知亞比挪庵的兒子巴拉已經上了他泊山， 13 便召集全軍和九百輛鐵戰車離開夏羅設，向基順河進軍。 14 底波拉對巴拉說：「出擊吧！今天耶和華要把西西拉交在你手中。看啊，耶和華已經率先出戰了！」於是，巴拉率領一萬人下了他泊山， 15 進攻西西拉。耶和華使西西拉的戰車和軍隊驚慌失措，敗在巴拉刀下。西西拉棄車徒步逃跑， 16 巴拉追擊他的戰車和軍隊，直到夏羅設。西西拉全軍都死於刀下，無一倖免。

17 只有西西拉一人徒步逃到基尼人希百的妻子雅億的帳篷，因為耶賓王和希百家向來友好。 18 雅億出來迎接西西拉，對他說：「我主，請進，不用怕！」西西拉便走進帳篷，雅億為他蓋上毯子。 19 西西拉說：「我口渴，請給我一點水吧。」雅億打開皮袋給他奶喝，然後又給他蓋上毯子。 20 西西拉又說：「請你守著門口，倘若有人查問，你就說沒人來過這裡。」 21 西西拉因疲勞過度，沉沉入睡。雅億乘機拿起錘子和一根帳篷的橛子，悄悄地走到他身旁，把橛子釘進他的太陽穴，直插到地裡。西西拉就這樣死了。 22 巴拉追來了，雅億出來迎接他，對他說：「你找的人在這裡，進來看看吧。」巴拉和她進了帳篷，見西西拉死在那裡，太陽穴上還插著橛子。

23 那天，上帝使以色列人戰勝了迦南王耶賓。 24 以色列人越戰越勇，最終消滅了耶賓王。

Judges 4
New English Translation

Deborah Summons Barak

4 The Israelites again did evil in the Lord’s sight[a] after Ehud’s death. 2 The Lord turned them over to[b] King Jabin of Canaan, who ruled in Hazor.[c] The general of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth Haggoyim.[d] 3 The Israelites cried out for help to the Lord, because Sisera[e] had 900 chariots with iron-rimmed wheels,[f] and he cruelly[g] oppressed the Israelites for twenty years.

4 Now Deborah, a prophetess,[h] wife of Lappidoth, was[i] leading[j] Israel at that time. 5 She would sit[k] under the Date Palm Tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the Ephraimite hill country. The Israelites would come up to her to have their disputes settled.[l]

6 She summoned[m] Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali. She said to him, “Is it not true that the Lord God of Israel is commanding you? Go, march to Mount Tabor! Take with you 10,000 men from Naphtali and Zebulun. 7 I will bring Sisera, the general of Jabin’s army, to you at the Kishon River, along with his chariots and huge army.[n] I will hand him over to you.” 8 Barak said to her, “If you go with me, I will go. But if you do not go with me, I will not go.” 9 She said, “I will indeed go with you. But you will not gain fame[o] on the expedition you are undertaking,[p] for the Lord will turn Sisera over to a woman.”[q] Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh. 10 Barak summoned men from Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and 10,000 men followed him;[r] Deborah went up with him as well. 11 Now Heber the Kenite had moved away[s] from the Kenites, the descendants of Hobab, Moses’ father-in-law. He lived[t] near the great tree in Zaanannim near Kedesh.

12 When Sisera heard[u] that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor, 13 he[v] ordered[w] all his chariotry—900 chariots with iron-rimmed wheels—and all the troops he had with him to go from Harosheth Haggoyim to the Kishon River. 14 Deborah said to Barak, “Spring into action,[x] for this is the day the Lord is handing Sisera over to you![y] Has the Lord not taken the lead?”[z] So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with 10,000 men following him. 15 The Lord routed[aa] Sisera, all his chariotry, and all his army with the edge of the sword.[ab] Sisera jumped out of[ac] his chariot and ran away on foot. 16 Now Barak chased the chariots and the army all the way to Harosheth Haggoyim. Sisera’s whole army died[ad] by the edge of the sword; not even one survived![ae]

17 Now Sisera ran away on foot to the tent of Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite, for King Jabin of Hazor and the family of Heber the Kenite had made a peace treaty.[af] 18 Jael came out to welcome Sisera. She said to him, “Stop and rest,[ag] my lord. Stop and rest with me. Don’t be afraid.” So Sisera[ah] stopped to rest in her tent, and she put a blanket over him. 19 He said to her, “Give me a little water to drink, because I’m thirsty.” She opened a goatskin container of milk and gave him some milk to drink. Then she covered him up again. 20 He said to her, “Stand watch at the entrance to the tent. If anyone comes along and asks you, ‘Is there a man here?’ say, ‘No.’” 21 Then Jael wife of Heber took a tent peg in one hand and a hammer in the other.[ai] She crept up on him, drove the tent peg through his temple into the ground[aj] while he was asleep from exhaustion,[ak] and he died. 22 Now Barak was chasing Sisera. Jael went out to welcome him. She said to him, “Come here and I will show you the man you are searching for.” He went with her into the tent,[al] and there he saw Sisera sprawled out dead[am] with the tent peg through his temple.

23 That day God humiliated King Jabin of Canaan before the Israelites. 24 Israel’s power continued to overwhelm[an] King Jabin of Canaan until they did away with[ao] him.[ap]

  3. Judges 4:2 tn Or “King Jabin of Hazor, a Canaanite ruler.”
  4. Judges 4:2 tn Or “Harosheth of the Pagan Nations”; cf. KJV “Harosheth of the Gentiles.” “Haroshet” may mean “Forest [area]” or be a reference to some sort of carving.
  5. Judges 4:3 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Sisera) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  6. Judges 4:3 tn Regarding the translation “chariots with iron-rimmed wheels,” see Y. Yadin, The Art of Warfare in Biblical Lands, 255, and the article by R. Drews, “The ‘Chariots of Iron’ of Joshua and Judges,” JSOT 45 (1989): 15-23.
  7. Judges 4:3 tn Heb “with strength.”
  8. Judges 4:4 tn Heb “ a woman, a prophetess.” In Hebrew idiom the generic “woman” sometimes precedes the more specific designation. See GKC 437-38 §135.b.
  9. Judges 4:4 tn Heb “she was.” The pronoun refers back to the nominative absolute “Deborah.” Hebrew style sometimes employs such resumptive pronouns when lengthy qualifiers separate the subject from the verb.
  10. Judges 4:4 tn Or “judging.”
  11. Judges 4:5 tn That is, “consider legal disputes.”
  12. Judges 4:5 tn Heb “for judgment.”

  15. Judges 4:9 tn Or “honor.”
  16. Judges 4:9 tn Heb “on [account of (?)] the way which you are walking.” Another option is to translate, “due to the way you are going about this.” In this case direct reference is made to Barak’s hesitancy as the reason for his loss of glory.

  23. Judges 4:13 tn Or “summoned.”
  24. Judges 4:14 tn Heb “Arise!”
  25. Judges 4:14 tn The verb form (a Hebrew perfect, indicating completed action from the standpoint of the speaker) emphasizes the certainty of the event. Though it had not yet taken place, the Lord speaks of it as a “done deal.”
  26. Judges 4:14 tn Heb “Has the Lord not gone out before you?”
  27. Judges 4:15 tn Or “caused to panic.”

  36. Judges 4:21 tn Heb “and it went into the ground.”

  39. Judges 4:22 tn Heb “fallen, dead.”
