1 ف ِي ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ رَنَّمَتْ دَبُورَةُ وَباراقُ بْنُ أبِينُوعَمَ:

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

2 « لأجلِ اسْتِعْدادِ بَني إسْرائِيلَ لِلمَعْرَكَةِ، وَتَطَوَّعِ الشَّعبِ لِلذَّهابِ إلَى الحَرْبِ، احْمَدُوا اللهَ!

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

3 « اسْمَعُوا، أيُّها المُلُوكُ! وَانْتَبِهُوا، أيُّها الحُكّامُ! سَأُرَنِّمُ للهِ ، سأُغَنِّي ألْحْاناً للهِ ، إلَهِ إسْرائِيلَ!

Hear, O ye kings. Give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will praise the LORD God of Israel.

4 « يا اللهُ ، عِنْدَما نَزَلْتَ مِنْ جِبالِ سَعِيرَ، عَنْدَما تَقَدَّمْتَ هُنا مِنْ أرْضِ أدُومَ، اهْتَزَّتِ الأرْضُ، وَالسَّماءُ سَكَبَتْ أمطارَها، حَقّاً أمطَرَتِ السُّحُبُ ماءً.

LORD, when thou didst go out of Seir, when thou didst march out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped; the clouds also dropped water.

5 ذ ابَتِ الجِبالُ أمامَ اللهِ ، حَتَّى جَبَلُ سِيناءَ ذابَ أمامَ اللهِ ، إلَهِ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ.

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

6 « فِي أيّامِ شَمْجَرَ بْنِ عَناةَ، فِي أيّامِ ياعِيلَ، تَوَقَّفَتِ القَوافِلُ، وَسَلَكَ المُسافِرُونَ طُرُقاً مُلْتَوِيَةً وَمُتَعَرِّجَةً.

¶ In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways ceased, and those that walked went astray through crooked paths.

7 « تَراخَى الحُكّامُ فِي إسْرائِيلَ وَسَمُنُوا، إلَى أنْ قُمْتِ يا دَبُورَةُ، قُمْتِ كَأُمٍّ فِي إسْرائِيلَ.

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

8 « اختارَ الشَّعبُ آلِهَةً جَدِيدَةً، فَاندَلَعَتِ الحَرْبُ عِنْدَ بَوّاباتِ المَدِينَةِ. هَلْ كانَ هُناكَ تُرْسٌ أوْ رُمحٌ بَينَ أربَعِينَ ألفِ رَجُلٍ فِي إسْرائِيلَ؟

When they chose new gods, the war was at the gates. Was there a shield or spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?

9 « قَلْبِي مَعَ قادَةِ إسْرائِيلَ، الَّذِينَ انضَمُّوا إلَى الشَّعبِ، وَلِلحَرْبِ تَطَوَّعُوا. احْمَدُوا اللهَ!

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

10 « انْتَبِهُوا يا مَنْ تَرْكَبُونَ الحَميرَ البَيضاءَ، يا مَنْ تَجلِسُونَ عَلَى سُرُوجٍ ثَمِينَةٍ، وَيا مَنْ تَمشُونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ،

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

11 إ لَى صَوتِ مُوَزِّعِي المِياهِ بِينَ أمكِنَةِ السِّقايَةِ، يَتَكَلَّمُونَ عَنِ انتِصاراتِ اللهِ ، انتِصاراتِ جُنُودِ إسْرائِيلَ. حِينَ نَزَلَ جَيشُ اللهِ إلَى بَوّاباتِ المَدِينَةِ مُنتَصِراً.

Because of the noise of archers, taken from among those that draw water, there they shall retell the righteousnesses of the LORD, even the righteousnesses of his villages in Israel. Now shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.

12 « اسْتَيقِظِي، اسْتَيقِظِي يا دَبُّورَةُ! اسْتَيقِظِي، اسْتَيقِظِي! وَرَنِّمِي تَرنِيمَةً. قُمْ يا باراقُ! يا ابْنَ أبِينُوعَمَ، وَخُذْ أسْراكَ!

¶ Rise up, rise up, Deborah; rise up, rise up, sing a song. Stand up, Barak and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.

13 « حِينَئِذٍ نَزَلَ هَؤُلاءِ الرِّجالُ القِلَّةُ لِيُحارِبُوا الجُنُودَ الأقوِياءَ، نَزَلَ جَيشُ اللهِ مِنْ أجلِي لِيُقاتِلُوا المُحارِبِينَ.

Now he has made the remnant of the people to have dominion over the magnificent; the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.

14 « مِنْ أفْرايِمَ جاءَ السّاكِنُونَ فِي تِلالِ العَمالِقَةِ، وَتَبِعُوكَ، يا بَنْيامِيْنُ، مَعَ قَوْمِكَ. مِنْ ماكِيرَ نَزَلَ قادَةُ جُيُوشٍ لِلمَعْرَكَةِ. وَمَسْؤُولُونَ جاءُوا مِنْ زَبُولُونَ.

Out of Ephraim came his root against Amalek; after thee, came Benjamin, against thy peoples; out of Machir came down princes; and from Zebulun, those that handle the pen of the writer.

15 ز ُعَماءُ مِنْ يَسّاكَرَ كانُوا مَعَ دَبُّورَةَ، فَدَعَمَ جَيشُ يَسّاكَرَ باراقَ، تَحْتَ إمْرَتِهِ أُرْسِلُوا إلَى الوادِي. «وَفِي بَنِي رَأُوبَيْنَ جُنُودٌ عِظامٌ، لَكِنَّهُمْ قَعَدُوا فِي بُيُوتِهِمْ يَفْعَلُونَ ما يُحِبُّونَ.

Also princes of Issachar were with Deborah; and Issachar, like Barak, went on foot into the valley. From the divisions of Reuben, great are the thoughts of the heart.

16 ف َلِماذا اسْتَنَدْتُمْ عَلَى الحَظائِرِ؟ ألِسَماعِ أنْغامِ النّايِ الَّتِي تُعْزَفُ لِلغَنَمِ؟ هَكَذا قَعَدَ الجُنُودُ العِظامُ مِنْ قَبِيلَةِ رَأُوبَيْنَ عَنِ الحَرْبِ مُحْتارِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ.

Why didst thou abide among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? From the divisions of Reuben great are the searchings of the heart.

17 و َقَعَدَ بَنُو جِلْعادَ فِي بُيُوتِهِمْ عَلَى الجانِبِ الآخَرِ مِنْ نَهْرِ الأُرْدُنِّ. وَقَبيلَةُ دانَ، لِماذا بَقِيَتْ عِنْدَ السُّفُنِ؟ عِنْدَ ساحِلِ البَحْرِ بَقِيَتْ، وَخَيَّمَتْ قُرْبَ مَرافِئِهِ.

Gilead remained on the other side of the Jordan, and why did Dan remain next to the ships? Asher continued on the sea shore and remained in his breaches.

18 « أمّا بَنُو زَبُولُونَ وَنَفْتالِي فَخاطَرُوا بِحَياتِهِمْ، عَلَى جَوانِبِ التِّلالِ المُرْتَفِعَةِ.

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

19 ج اءَ المُلُوكُ، وَقاتَلُوا، مُلُوكُ كَنْعانَ قاتَلُوا عِنْدَ تَعْنَكَ قُرْبَ جَداوِلِ مَجِدُّو، لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَحْمِلُوا مَعَهُمْ غَنائِمَ فِضَّةٍ.

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

20 م ِنَ السَّماءِ، حارَبَتِ النُّجُومُ مِنْ مَساراتِها سِيسَرا.

They fought from the heavens; the stars from their ways fought against Sisera.

21 ج َرَفَهُمْ نَهْرُ قِيشُونَ، ذَلِكَ النَّهْرُ القَدِيمُ. فَدُوسِي يا نَفسِي بِعِزٍّ.

The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. Tread down, O my soul, with strength.

22 د َقَّتْ حَوافِرُ الخُيُولِ الأرْضَ، وَهِيَ تَهْرُبُ مُسْرِعَةً.

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

23 « قالَ مَلاكُ اللهِ ، ‹العَنُوا مِيرُوزَ. شَدِّدُوا اللَّعْناتِ عَلَى سُكّانِها، العَنُوهُمْ لِأنَّهُمْ لِمْ يَأْتُوا لِنُصْرَةِ اللهِ ، لِنُصْرَةِ اللهِ ضِدَّ المُحارِبِينَ.›

Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof because they did not come to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.

24 م ُبُارَكَةٌ ياعِيلُ بَينَ النِّساءِ، ياعِيلُ، زَوْجَةُ حابِرَ القِينِيِّ، مُبُارَكَةٌ هِيَ بَينَ النِّساءِ فِي الخِيامِ.

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

25 ط َلَبَ سِيسَرا ماءً، فَأعطَتْهُ حَلِيباً، جَلَبَتْ لَهُ قِشْدَةً فِي إناءٍ يَلِيقُ بِالأشرافِ.

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

26 م َدَّتْ يُسْراها إلَى وَتَدِ خَيمَةٍ، وَمَدَّتْ يَمِينَها إلَى مِطرَقَةِ العامِلِ. ضَرَبَتْ سِيسَرا، فَسَحَقَتْ رَأسَهُ. حَطَّمَتْ رَأسَهُ وَاخْتَرَقَتْهُ.

She put her hand to the stake, 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 ا نْهارَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيها. سَقَطَ وَانْطَرَحَ عَلَى وَجهِهِ. انهارَ عِنْدَ قَدَمَيها، وَهُناكَ سَقَطَ مَيِّتاً!

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 « تَطَلَّعَتْ أُمُّ سِيسَرا مِنَ النَّافِذَةِ، بَكَتْ وَهِيَ تَتَطَلَّعُ مِنْ شَبَكِ النَّافِذَةِ. فَلِماذا تَأخَّرَتْ مَركَبَتُهُ كَثِيراً فِي الوَصُولِ؟ لِماذا تَأخَّرَتْ أصْواتُ مَركَبَتِهِ؟

The mother of Sisera looked out the window and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why do the wheels of his chariots tarry?

29 « فَتُجِيبُها أحكَمُ نِسائِها، بَلْ هِيَ تُحاوِلُ أنْ تُقْنِعَ نَفسَها:

Her wise princesses answered her; and she even answered to herself,

30 ‹ لابُدَّ أنَّهُمْ يَجْمَعُونَ الغَنائِمَ وَيُوَزِّعُونَها: امْرأةً أوِ اثْنَتَينِ لِكُلِّ مُحارِبٍ! ثِياباً مَصْبُوغَةً غَنِيمَةً لِسِيسَرا، ثِياباً مُطَرَّزَةً غَنِيمَةً، ثَوبَينِ مَصْبُوغَينِ مُطَرَّزَينِ لِعُنْقِ المُنتَصِرِ.›

Have they not found spoil and are dividing it? To each man a damsel or two; to Sisera a spoil of different colours, a spoil of different colours of needlework, of different colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of those that take the spoil?

31 « لِيَبِدْ هَكَذا كُلُّ أعدائِكَ يا اللهُ! وَلَيَكُنْ مُحِبُّوكَ كَالشَّمسِ فِي قُوَّتِها.» وَهَكَذا اسْتَراحَتِ الأرْضُ مِنَ الحَربِ مُدَّةَ أربَعِينَ سَنَةً.

So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD, but let those that love thee be as the sun when he rises in all his might. And the land had rest forty years.
