Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, on that day, saying,
cecineruntque Debbora et Barac filius Abinoem in die illo dicentes
2 For that leaders led in Israel, For that the people willingly offered themselves, Bless Jehovah!
qui sponte obtulistis de Israhel animas vestras ad periculum benedicite Domino
3 Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, [even] I, will sing to Jehovah; I will hymn to Jehovah the God of Israel.
audite reges percipite auribus principes ego sum ego sum quae Domino canam psallam Domino Deo Israhel
4 Jehovah, when thou wentest forth from Seir, When thou marchedst out of the fields of Edom, The earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, Yea, the clouds dropped water.
Domine cum exires de Seir et transires per regiones Edom terra mota est caelique ac nubes stillaverunt aquis
5 The mountains quaked before the face of Jehovah, That Sinai, from before Jehovah the God of Israel.
montes fluxerunt a facie Domini et Sinai a facie Domini Dei Israhel
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, The roads were unused, and the travellers on highways went by crooked paths.
in diebus Samgar filii Anath in diebus Iahel quieverunt semitae et qui ingrediebantur per eas ambulaverunt per calles devios
7 The villages ceased in Israel, Ceased until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother in Israel.
cessaverunt fortes in Israhel et quieverunt donec surgeret Debbora surgeret mater in Israhel
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
nova bella elegit Dominus et portas hostium ipse subvertit clypeus et hasta si apparuerint in quadraginta milibus Israhel
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Jehovah!
cor meum diligit principes Israhel qui propria voluntate obtulistis vos discrimini benedicite Domino
10 Ye that ride on white she-asses, ye that sit on carpets, and ye that walk by the way, consider.
qui ascenditis super nitentes asinos et sedetis in iudicio et ambulatis in via loquimini
11 Because of the voice of those who divide [the spoil] in the midst of the places of drawing water; There they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, His righteous acts toward his villages in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.
ubi conlisi sunt currus et hostium est suffocatus exercitus ibi narrentur iustitiae Domini et clementia in fortes Israhel tunc descendit populus Domini ad portas et obtinuit principatum
12 Awake, awake, Deborah! awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead captive thy captives, thou son of Abinoam!
surge surge Debbora surge surge et loquere canticum surge Barac et adprehende captivos tuos fili Abinoem
13 Then come down, thou, the remnant of nobles, [as his] people; Jehovah! come down with me in the midst of the mighty ones.
salvatae sunt reliquiae populi Dominus in fortibus dimicavit
14 Out of Ephraim [came] those whose root was in Amalek; After thee was Benjamin among thy peoples. Out of Machir came down governors, And out of Zebulun they that handled the staff of the ruler.
ex Ephraim delevit eos in Amalech et post eum ex Beniamin in populos tuos o Amalech de Machir principes descenderunt et de Zabulon qui exercitum ducerent ad bellandum
15 And the princes in Issachar were with Deborah; And Issachar, like Barak; They were sent into the valley at his feet. In the divisions of Reuben there were great resolves of heart!
duces Isachar fuere cum Debbora et Barac vestigia sunt secuti qui quasi in praeceps ac baratrum se discrimini dedit diviso contra se Ruben magnanimorum repperta contentio est
16 Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, To hear the bleating of the flocks? In the divisions of Reuben there were great deliberations of heart!
quare habitas inter duos terminos ut audias sibilos gregum diviso contra se Ruben magnanimorum repperta contentio est
17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan; And Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat on the sea-shore, And abode in his creeks.
Galaad trans Iordanem quiescebat et Dan vacabat navibus Aser habitabat in litore maris et in portibus morabatur
18 Zebulun is a people [that] jeoparded their lives unto death, Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
Zabulon vero et Nepthalim obtulerunt animas suas morti in regione Merome
19 Kings came, — they fought; Then fought the kings of Canaan; At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; They took no spoil of silver.
venerunt reges et pugnaverunt pugnaverunt reges Chanaan in Thanach iuxta aquas Mageddo et tamen nihil tulere praedantes
20 From heaven was the fight; The stars from their courses fought with Sisera.
de caelo dimicatum est contra eos stellae manentes in ordine et cursu suo adversum Sisaram pugnaverunt
21 The torrent of Kishon swept them away, That ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. My soul, thou hast trodden down strength!
torrens Cison traxit cadavera eorum torrens Cadumim torrens Cison conculca anima mea robustos
22 Then did the horse-hoofs clatter with the coursings, The coursings of their steeds.
ungulae equorum ceciderunt fugientibus impetu et per praeceps ruentibus fortissimis hostium
23 Curse Meroz, saith the Angel of Jehovah; Curse, curse the inhabitants thereof; For they came not to the help of Jehovah, To the help of Jehovah among the mighty.
maledicite terrae Meroz dixit angelus Domini maledicite habitatoribus eius quia non venerunt ad auxilium Domini in adiutorium fortissimorum eius
24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, Blessed above women in the tent!
benedicta inter mulieres Iahel uxor Aber Cinei benedicatur in tabernaculo suo
25 He asked water, she gave milk; In the nobles' bowl she brought forth cream.
aquam petenti lac dedit et in fiala principum obtulit butyrum
26 She put her hand to the tent-pin, And her right hand to the workmen's hammer; And she smote Sisera, she struck through his head, Shattered and pierced through his temples.
sinistram manum misit ad clavum et dexteram ad fabrorum malleos percussitque Sisaram quaerens in capite vulneri locum et tempus valide perforans
27 Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell, overcome.
inter pedes eius ruit defecit et mortuus est ante pedes illius volvebatur et iacebat exanimis et miserabilis
28 Them other of Sisera looketh out at the window, And crieth through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the trampings of his chariots?
per fenestram prospiciens ululabat mater eius et de cenaculo loquebatur cur moratur regredi currus eius quare tardaverunt pedes quadrigarum illius
29 The wise amongst her ladies answer [her], Yea, she returneth answer to herself,
una sapientior ceteris uxoribus eius haec socrui verba respondit
30 Have they not found, divided the booty, A damsel, two damsels, to each? A booty of dyed stuffs for Sisera, A booty of dyed stuffs of embroidery, Dyed stuff of double embroidery for the neck of a spoiler?
forsitan nunc dividit spolia et pulcherrima feminarum eligitur ei vestes diversorum colorum Sisarae traduntur in praedam et supellex varia ad ornanda colla congeritur
31 So let all thine enemies perish, Jehovah! But let them that love him be as the rising of the sun in its might. And the land had rest forty years.
sic pereant omnes inimici tui Domine qui autem diligunt te sicut sol in ortu suo splendet ita rutilent quievitque terra per quadraginta annos
