士师记 5
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
底波拉和巴拉之歌
5 那一天，底波拉和巴拉高唱凯歌：
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 君王和首领啊，请留心细听！
我要向耶和华歌唱，
我要歌颂以色列的上帝耶和华。
4 耶和华啊，当你从西珥出来，
走过以东时，
大地震动，
天上降雨。
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 在亚拿的儿子珊迦与雅亿的时代，
大路行人绝迹，
旅客绕道而行。
7 我底波拉做以色列之母以前，
以色列的乡村人烟稀少。
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 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 “你们骑白驴的、坐绣花毯子的、步行的，
都要倾听。
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 “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 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 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 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 吕便人为什么坐在羊圈中听悠悠笛声？
他们举棋不定。
17 基列人留在约旦河对岸。
但人为什么停留在船上？
亚设人在海岸静坐，
在港口逗留。
18 但西布伦人和拿弗他利人却拼死鏖战沙场。
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 星辰从天上、从它们的轨道攻击西西拉。
21 古老的基顺河冲走了敌人。
我的心啊，要奋勇向前！
22 蹄声隆隆，
骏马疾驰！
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 “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 西西拉求水，
雅亿给他奶喝，
用珍贵的碗盛上奶酪。
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 西西拉屈身倒下，
死在她脚前，
一动不动地躺在那里。
28 “他母亲凭窗远眺，
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 聪明的宫女安慰她，
她却依然自言自语，
30 ‘莫非他们在搜索、瓜分战利品？
也许每人得到一两个少女，
西西拉也会分得从俘虏身上夺来的绣花彩巾。’
31 耶和华啊，
愿你的敌人都像西西拉一样灭亡！
愿爱你的人如升起的太阳，
光辉熠熠！”
此后，以色列安享太平四十年。

底波拉和巴拉之歌
5 那一天，底波拉和巴拉高唱凱歌：
2 「以色列的首領身先士卒，
民眾前仆後繼，
你們要讚美耶和華！
3 君王和首領啊，請留心細聽！
我要向耶和華歌唱，
我要歌頌以色列的上帝耶和華。
4 耶和華啊，當你從西珥出來，
走過以東時，
大地震動，
天上降雨。
5 在西奈山的耶和華面前，
在以色列的上帝耶和華面前，
群山震動。
6 在亞拿的兒子珊迦與雅億的時代，
大路行人絕跡，
旅客繞道而行。
7 我底波拉做以色列之母以前，
以色列的鄉村人煙稀少。
8 以色列人選擇新的神明，
便戰禍臨門，
四萬以色列人中找不到一矛一盾。
9 我的心追隨以色列的首領，
追隨民中踴躍出征的人。
你們要讚美耶和華！
10 「你們騎白驢的、坐繡花毯子的、步行的，
都要傾聽。
11 歌樂手聚集在井旁，
傳揚耶和華和祂以色列子民的勝利。
耶和華的子民都來到城門口。
12 「底波拉啊，來吧，來吧，
歌唱吧！
亞比挪庵的兒子巴拉啊，來吧，
帶走你的戰俘吧！
13 倖存的以色列人回應他們的首領，
耶和華的子民為我攻擊勇士。
14 他們有些來自原屬亞瑪力人的以法蓮，
有些來自便雅憫，
統領出自瑪吉，
將官出自西布倫。
15 以薩迦的首領與底波拉同往，
以薩迦人隨巴拉同去，
眾人一起衝進山谷，
呂便人卻猶豫不決。
16 呂便人為什麼坐在羊圈中聽悠悠笛聲？
他們舉棋不定。
17 基列人留在約旦河對岸。
但人為什麼停留在船上？
亞設人在海岸靜坐，
在港口逗留。
18 但西布倫人和拿弗他利人卻拼死鏖戰沙場。
19 「迦南諸王來戰，
來到米吉多河邊的他納交戰，
卻沒有掠走金銀。
20 星辰從天上、從它們的軌道攻擊西西拉。
21 古老的基順河沖走了敵人。
我的心啊，要奮勇向前！
22 蹄聲隆隆，
駿馬疾馳！
23 「耶和華的天使說，
『要咒詛米羅斯，
要重重地咒詛米羅斯的居民，
因為他們沒有幫助耶和華，
沒有幫助耶和華攻擊強敵。』
24 「基尼人希百的妻子雅億是婦人中最有福的，
是住帳篷的婦人中最有福的。
25 西西拉求水，
雅億給他奶喝，
用珍貴的碗盛上乳酪。
26 雅億左手拿起橛子，
右手拿起工匠的錘子，
猛擊西西拉，
打碎了他的頭，
刺透了他的太陽穴。
27 西西拉屈身倒下，
死在她腳前，
一動不動地躺在那裡。
28 「他母親憑窗遠眺，
隔著窗櫺喊道，
『為什麼他的戰車遲遲不回？
為什麼還聽不到車輪聲？』
29 聰明的宮女安慰她，
她卻依然自言自語，
30 『莫非他們在搜索、瓜分戰利品？
也許每人得到一兩個少女，
西西拉也會分得從俘虜身上奪來的繡花彩巾。』
31 耶和華啊，
願你的敵人都像西西拉一樣滅亡！
願愛你的人如升起的太陽，
光輝熠熠！」
此後，以色列安享太平四十年。
Judges 5
King James Version
5 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2 Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.
4 Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.
5 The mountains melted from before the Lord, even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.
7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the Lord.
10 Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
11 They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the Lord go down to the gates.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13 Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the Lord made me have dominion over the mighty.
14 Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
16 Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
18 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
19 The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
20 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
22 Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.
23 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty.
24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
26 She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
28 The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
30 Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?
31 So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
Judges 5
New King James Version
The Song of Deborah
5 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam (A)sang on that day, saying:
2 “When[a] leaders (B)lead in Israel,
(C)When the people [b]willingly offer themselves,
Bless the Lord!
3 “Hear,(D) O kings! Give ear, O princes!
I, even (E)I, will sing to the Lord;
I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.
4 “Lord, (F)when You went out from Seir,
When You marched from (G)the field of Edom,
The earth trembled and the heavens poured,
The clouds also poured water;
5 (H)The mountains [c]gushed before the Lord,
(I)This Sinai, before the Lord God of Israel.
6 “In the days of (J)Shamgar, son of Anath,
In the days of (K)Jael,
(L)The highways were deserted,
And the travelers walked along the byways.
7 Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel,
Until I, Deborah, arose,
Arose a mother in Israel.
8 They chose (M)new gods;
Then there was war in the gates;
Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.
9 My heart is with the rulers of Israel
Who offered themselves willingly with the people.
Bless the Lord!
10 “Speak, you who ride on white (N)donkeys,
Who sit in judges’ attire,
And who walk along the road.
11 Far from the noise of the archers, among the watering places,
There they shall recount the righteous acts of the Lord,
The righteous acts for His villagers in Israel;
Then the people of the Lord shall go down to the gates.
12 “Awake,(O) awake, Deborah!
Awake, awake, sing a song!
Arise, Barak, and lead your captives away,
O son of Abinoam!
13 “Then the survivors came down, the people against the nobles;
The Lord came down for me against the mighty.
14 From Ephraim were those whose roots were in (P)Amalek.
After you, Benjamin, with your peoples,
From Machir rulers came down,
And from Zebulun those who bear the recruiter’s staff.
15 And [d]the princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
As Issachar, so was Barak
Sent into the valley [e]under his command;
Among the divisions of Reuben
There were great resolves of heart.
16 Why did you sit among the sheepfolds,
To hear the pipings for the flocks?
The divisions of Reuben have great searchings of heart.
17 (Q)Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan,
And why did Dan remain [f]on ships?
(R)Asher continued at the seashore,
And stayed by his inlets.
18 (S)Zebulun is a people who jeopardized their lives to the point of death,
Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.
19 “The kings came and fought,
Then the kings of Canaan fought
In (T)Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo;
They took no spoils of silver.
20 They fought from the heavens;
The stars from their courses fought against Sisera.
21 (U)The torrent of Kishon swept them away,
That ancient torrent, the torrent of Kishon.
O my soul, march on in strength!
22 Then the horses’ hooves pounded,
The galloping, galloping of his steeds.
23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ said the [g]angel of the Lord,
‘Curse its inhabitants bitterly,
Because they did not come to the help of the Lord,
To the help of the Lord against the mighty.’
24 “Most blessed among women is Jael,
The wife of Heber the Kenite;
(V)Blessed is she among women in tents.
25 He asked for water, she gave milk;
She brought out cream in a lordly bowl.
26 She stretched her hand to the tent peg,
Her right hand to the workmen’s hammer;
She pounded Sisera, she pierced his head,
She split and struck through his temple.
27 At her feet he sank, he fell, he lay still;
At her feet he sank, he fell;
Where he sank, there he fell (W)dead.
28 “The mother of Sisera looked through the window,
And cried out through the lattice,
‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?
Why tarries the clatter of his chariots?’
29 Her wisest [h]ladies answered her,
Yes, she [i]answered herself,
30 ‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoil:
To every man a girl or two;
For Sisera, plunder of dyed garments,
Plunder of garments embroidered and dyed,
Two pieces of dyed embroidery for the neck of the looter?’
31 “Thus let all Your enemies (X)perish, O Lord!
But let those who love Him be (Y)like the (Z)sun
When it comes out in full (AA)strength.”
So the land had rest for forty years.
