Judges 5

فَتَرَنَّمَتْ دَبُورَةُ وَبَارَاقُ بْنُ أَبِينُوعَمَ فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَائِلَيْنِ:

Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,

«لأَجْلِ قِيَادَةِ الْقُوَّادِ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لأَجْلِ انْتِدَابِ الشَّعْبِ، بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ.

Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.

اِسْمَعُوا أَيُّهَا الْمُلُوكُ وَاصْغَوْا أَيُّهَا الْعُظَمَاءُ. أَنَا، أَنَا لِلرَّبِّ أَتَرَنَّمُ. أُزَمِّرُ لِلرَّبِّ إِلهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

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.

يَا رَبُّ بِخُرُوجِكَ مِنْ سِعِيرَ، بِصُعُودِكَ مِنْ صَحْرَاءِ أَدُومَ، الأَرْضُ ارْتَعَدَتِ. السَّمَاوَاتُ أَيْضًا قَطَرَتْ. كَذلِكَ السُّحُبُ قَطَرَتْ مَاءً.

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.

تَزَلْزَلَتِ الْجِبَالُ مِنْ وَجْهِ الرَّبِّ، وَسِينَاءُ هذَا مِنْ وَجْهِ الرَّبِّ إِلهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.

«فِي أَيَّامِ شَمْجَرَ بْنِ عَنَاةَ، فِي أَيَّامِ يَاعِيلَ، اسْتَرَاحَتِ الطُّرُقُ، وَعَابِرُو السُّبُلِ سَارُوا فِي مَسَالِكَ مُعْوَجَّةٍ.

In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

خُذِلَ الْحُكَّامُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. خُذِلُوا حَتَّى قُمْتُ أَنَا دَبُورَةُ. قُمْتُ أُمًّا فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.

اِخْتَارَ آلِهَةً حَدِيثَةً. حِينَئِذٍ حَرْبُ الأَبْوَابِ. هَلْ كَانَ يُرَى مِجَنٌّ أَوْ رُمْحٌ فِي أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفًا مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ؟

They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?

قَلْبِي نَحْوَ قُضَاةِ إِسْرَائِيلَ الْمُنْتَدِبِينَ فِي الشَّعْبِ. بَارِكُوا الرَّبَّ.

My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.

أَيُّهَا الرَّاكِبُونَ الأُتُنَ الصُّحْرَ، الْجَالِسُونَ عَلَى طَنَافِسَ، وَالسَّالِكُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ، سَبِّحُوا!

Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.

مِنْ صَوْتِ الْمُحَاصِّينَ بَيْنَ الأَحْوَاضِ هُنَاكَ يُثْنُونَ عَلَى حَقِّ الرَّبِّ، حَقِّ حُكَّامِهِ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. حِينَئِذٍ نَزَلَ شَعْبُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى الأَبْوَابِ.

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.

«اِسْتَيْقِظِي، اسْتَيْقِظِي يَا دَبُورَةُ! اسْتَيْقِظِي، اسْتَيْقِظِي وَتَكَلَّمِي بِنَشِيدٍ! قُمْ يَا بَارَاقُ وَاسْبِ سَبْيَكَ، يَا ابْنَ أَبِينُوعَمَ!

Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.

حِينَئِذٍ تَسَلَّطَ الشَّارِدُ عَلَى عُظَمَاءِ الشَّعْبِ. الرَّبُّ سَلَّطَنِي عَلَى الْجَبَابِرَةِ.

Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.

جَاءَ مِنْ أَفْرَايِمَ الَّذِينَ مَقَرُّهُمْ بَيْنَ عَمَالِيقَ، وَبَعْدَكَ بَنْيَامِينُ مَعَ قَوْمِكَ. مِنْ مَاكِيرَ نَزَلَ قُضَاةٌ، وَمِنْ زَبُولُونَ مَاسِكُونَ بِقَضِيبِ الْقَائِدِ.

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.

وَالرُّؤَسَاءُ فِي يَسَّاكَرَ مَعَ دَبُورَةَ. وَكَمَا يَسَّاكَرُ هكَذَا بَارَاقُ. اِنْدَفَعَ إِلَى الْوَادِي وَرَاءَهُ. عَلَى مَسَاقِي رَأُوبَيْنَ أَقْضِيَةُ قَلْبٍ عَظِيمَةٌ.

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.

لِمَاذَا أَقَمْتَ بَيْنَ الْحَظَائِرِ لِسَمْعِ الصَّفِيرِ لِلْقُطْعَانِ. لَدَى مَسَاقِي رَأُوبَيْنَ مَبَاحِثُ قَلْبٍ عَظِيمَةٌ.

Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

جِلْعَادُ فِي عَبْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ سَكَنَ. وَدَانُ، لِمَاذَا اسْتَوْطَنَ لَدَى السُّفُنِ؟ وَأَشِيرُ أَقَامَ عَلَى سَاحِلِ الْبَحْرِ، وَفِي فُرَضِهِ سَكَنَ.

Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

زَبُولُونُ شَعْبٌ أَهَانَ نَفْسَهُ إِلَى الْمَوْتِ مَعَ نَفْتَالِي عَلَى رَوَابِي الْحَقْلِ.

Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.

«جَاءَ مُلُوكٌ. حَارَبُوا. حِينَئِذٍ حَارَبَ مُلُوكُ كَنْعَانَ فِي تَعْنَكَ عَلَى مِيَاهِ مَجِدُّو. بِضْعَ فِضَّةٍ لَمْ يَأْخُذُوا.

The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.

مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ حَارَبُوا. الْكَوَاكِبُ مِنْ حُبُكِهَا حَارَبَتْ سِيسَرَا.

They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

نَهْرُ قِيشُونَ جَرَفَهُمْ. نَهْرُ وَقَائِعَ نَهْرُ قِيشُونَ. دُوسِي يَا نَفْسِي بِعِزّ.

The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.

«حِينَئِذٍ ضَرَبَتْ أَعْقَابُ الْخَيْلِ مِنَ السَّوْقِ، سَوْقِ أَقْوِيَائِهِ.

Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.

اِلْعَنُوا مِيرُوزَ قَالَ مَلاَكُ الرَّبِّ. اِلْعَنُوا سَاكِنِيهَا لَعْنًا، لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَأْتُوا لِمَعُونَةِ الرَّبِّ، مَعُونَةِ الرَّبِّ بَيْنَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ.

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.

تُبَارَكُ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ يَاعِيلُ امْرَأَةُ حَابِرَ الْقَيْنِيِّ. عَلَى النِّسَاءِ فِي الْخِيَامِ تُبَارَكُ.

Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

طَلَبَ مَاءً فَأَعْطَتْهُ لَبَنًا. فِي قَصْعَةِ الْعُظَمَاءِ قَدَّمَتْ زُبْدَةً.

He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

مَدَّتْ يَدَهَا إِلَى الْوَتَدِ، وَيَمِينَهَا إِلَى مِضْرَابِ الْعَمَلَةِ، وَضَرَبَتْ سِيسَرَا وَسَحَقَتْ رَأْسَهُ، شَدَّخَتْ وَخَرَّقَتْ صُدْغَهُ.

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.

بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهَا انْطَرَحَ، سَقَطَ، اضْطَجَعَ. بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهَا انْطَرَحَ، سَقَطَ. حَيْثُ انْطَرَحَ فَهُنَاكَ سَقَطَ مَقْتُولاً.

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.

مِنَ الْكُوَّةِ أَشْرَفَتْ وَوَلْوَلَتْ أُمُّ سِيسَرَا مِنَ الشُّبَّاكِ: لِمَاذَا أَبْطَأَتْ مَرْكَبَاتُهُ عَنِ الْمَجِيءِ؟ لِمَاذَا تَأَخَّرَتْ خَطَوَاتُ مَرَاكِبِهِ؟

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?

فَأَجَابَتْهَا أَحْكَمُ سَيِّدَاتِهَا، بَلْ هِيَ رَدَّتْ جَوَابًا لِنَفْسِهَا:

Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,

أَلَمْ يَجِدُوا وَيَقْسِمُوا الْغَنِيمَةَ! فَتَاةً أَوْ فَتَاتَيْنِ لِكُلِّ رَجُل! غَنِيمَةَ ثِيَابٍ مَصْبُوغَةٍ لِسِيسَرَا! غَنِيمَةَ ثِيَابٍ مَصْبُوغَةٍ مُطَرَّزَةٍ! ثِيَابٍ مَصْبُوغَةٍ مُطَرَّزَةِ الْوَجْهَيْنِ غَنِيمَةً لِعُنُقِي!

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?

هكَذَا يَبِيدُ جَمِيعُ أَعْدَائِكَ يَا رَبُّ. وَأَحِبَّاؤُهُ كَخُرُوجِ الشَّمْسِ فِي جَبَرُوتِهَا». وَاسْتَرَاحَتِ الأَرْضُ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً.

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.
