1 ¶ But the sons of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD when Ehud was dead.

وَفَعَلَ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ الشَّرَّ أمامَ اللهِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ إهُودَ.

2 A nd the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin, king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor, the captain of whose host was Sisera, and he dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.

فأسْقَطَهُمْ اللهُ بِيَدِ يابِينَ مَلِكِ كَنْعانَ الَّذِي كانَ يَحْكُمُ فِي حاصُورَ. وَكانَ سِيسَرا الَّذِي كانَ يَسْكُنُ فِي حَرُوشَةِ الأُمَمِ قائِداً لِجَيشِ يابِينَ.

3 A nd the sons of Israel cried unto the LORD, for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he had mightily oppressed the sons of Israel for twenty years.

فَاسْتَنْجَدَ بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ بِاللهِ ، إذْ كانَتْ لِسِيسَرا تِسْعُ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ حَدِيدِيَّةٍ. وَقَدِ اضْطَّهَدَ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ بِقَسْوَةٍ مُدَّةَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.

4 ¶ And a woman judged Israel at that time, Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth.

وَكانَتْ دَبُورَةُ، وَهِيَ نَبِيَّةٌ، وَزَوْجَةٌ لِفِيدُوتَ، قاضِيَةً لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ الوَقتِ.

5 T his Deborah dwelt under a palm tree between Ramah and Bethel in Mount Ephraim, and the sons of Israel came up to her for judgment.

وَكانَتْ تَجلِسُ لِلقَضَاءِ تَحْتَ نَخلَةِ دَبُورَةَ بَينَ الرّامَةِ وَبَيتِ إيلَ فِي مِنْطَقَةِ أفْرايِمَ الجَبَلِيَّةِ، حَيْثُ يأتِي بَنُو إسْرائِيلَ إلَيها بِقَضَاياهِمْ.

6 A nd she sent and called Barak, the son of Abinoam, out of Kedesh of Naphtali and said unto him, Has not the LORD God of Israel commanded thee, saying, Go and draw toward Mount Tabor and take with thee ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun?

فَأرْسَلَتْ دَبُورَةُ رَسُولاً تَسْتَدْعِي باراقَ بْنَ أبِينُوعَمَ مِنْ قادَشَ فِي نَفْتالِي، وَقالَتْ لَهُ: «ها قَدْ أمَرَ اللهُ ، إلَهُ إسْرائِيلَ، وَقالَ: ‹اذْهَبْ وَخُذْ مَوْقِعاً عَلَى جَبَلِ تابُورَ. وَخُذْ مَعَكَ عَشْرَةَ آلافِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي نَفْتالِي وَمِنْ بَنِي زَبُولُونَ،

7 A nd I will draw Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, unto thee to the river Kishon, with his chariots and his multitude, and I will deliver him into thy hands.

سَأجْعَلُ سِيسَرا، قَائِدَ جَيشِ يابِينَ، يَخرُجُ بِعَرَباتِهِ وَقُوّاتِهِ إلَيكَ فِي وادِي قِيشُونَ. وَسَأُعِينُكَ عَلَى هَزيمَتِهِ.›»

8 A nd Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go; but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.

فَقالَ لَها باراقُ: «إنْ كُنْتِ مُسْتَعِدَّةً أنْ تَذْهَبِي مَعِي، فَسَأذْهَبُ. وَإنْ رَفَضْتِ أنْ تَأْتِي مَعِي، فَلَنْ اذْهَبَ.»

9 A nd she said, I will surely go with thee, but thy honour shall not be in the way that thou goest; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.

فَقالَتْ: «أنا آتِيَةٌ مَعَكَ، لَكِنِ اعلَمْ أنَّهُ لَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ فَخْرٌ فِي السَّبِيلِ الَّذِي تَسِيرُ فِيهِ. إذْ سَيُعِينُ اللهُ امْرأةً عَلَى هَزِيمَةِ سِيسَرا.» ثُمَّ قامَتْ دَبُورَةُ وَمَضَتْ مَعَ باراقَ إلَى قادَشَ.

10 ¶ And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and he went up with ten thousand men on foot, and Deborah went up with him.

وَاسْتَدْعَى باراقُ قَبِيلَتَي زَبُولُونَ وَنَفْتالِي إلَى قادَشَ، وَتَبِعَهُ عَشْرَةُ آلافِ رَجُلٍ، وَذَهَبَتْ دَبُورَةُ مَعَهُ.

11 N ow Heber, the Kenite, of the sons of Hobab, the father-in-law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.

وَكانَ حابِرُ القَينِيُّ قَدِ انْفَصَلَ عَنْ القَينِيِّينَ الآخَرِينَ، أي عَنْ نَسلِ حُوبابَ، حَمِي مُوسَى، وَخَيَّمَ حابِرُ عِنْدَ البَلُّوطَةِ فِي صَعَنايِمَ القَرِيبَةِ مِنْ قادَشَ.

12 A nd the news came unto Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, was gone up to Mount Tabor.

وَقِيلَ لِسِيسَرا إنَّ باراقَ بْنَ أبِينُوعَمَ قَدْ صَعِدَ إلَى جَبَلِ تابُورَ،

13 A nd Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.

فَجَمَعَ سِيسَرا كُلَّ مَرْكَباتِهِ، وَهِيَ تِسْعُ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، وَدَعَى جَمِيعَ القُوّاتِ الَّتِي تَحْتَ إمْرَتِهِ، مِنْ حَرُوشَةِ الأُمَمِ إلَى نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ.

14 T hen Deborah said unto Barak, Rise up, for this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into thy hands. Is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor and ten thousand men after him.

فَقالَتْ دَبُورَةُ لِباراقَ: «قُمْ! فَهَذا هُوَ اليَوْمُ الَّذِي سَيُعِينُكَ اللهُ فِيهِ عَلَى هَزِيمَةِ سِيسَرا. اللهُ يَسيرُ أمامَكَ بِالفِعلِ.» فَنَزَلَ باراقُ مِنْ جَبَلِ تابُورَ، وَتَبِعَهُ عَشْرَةُ آلافِ رَجُلٍ.

15 A nd the LORD broke Sisera and all his chariots and all his host with the edge of the sword before Barak so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot and fled away on foot.

وَحِينَما هَجَمَ باراقُ، شَتَّتَ اللهُ سِيسَرا وَمَرْكَباتِهِ وَكُلَّ جَيشِهِ. فَنَزَلَ سِيسَرا عَنْ مَرْكَبَتِهِ وَهَرَبَ رَكْضاً عَلَى قَدَمَيهِ.

16 B ut Barak pursued after the chariots and after the host unto Harosheth of the Gentiles, and all the camp of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword, and there was not a man left.

وَطارَدَ باراقُ مَرْكَباتِ سِيسَرا وَجَيشَهُ حَتَّى حَرُوشَةِ الأُمَمِ، وَقَتَلَ جَيشَ سِيسَرا بِالسَّيفِ، فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ أحَدٌ.

17 ¶ And Sisera fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, for there was peace between Jabin, the king of Hazor, and the house of Heber the Kenite.

أمّا سِيسَرا فَهَرَبَ عَلَى قَدَمَيهِ إلَى خَيمَةِ ياعِيلَ، زَوْجَةِ حابِرَ القِينِيِّ، فَقَدْ كانَ هُناكَ سَلامٌ بَينَ يابِينَ مَلِكِ حاصُورَ وَعَشِيرَةِ حابِرَ القِينِيِّ.

18 A nd Jael went out to meet Sisera and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a thick coverlet.

فَخَرَجَتْ ياعِيلُ لِتُلاقِي سِيسَرا، وَقالَتْ لَهُ: «تَفَضَّلْ هُنا يا سَيِّدِي، تَفَضَّلْ عِنْدِي وَلا تَخَفْ.» فَدَخَلَ خَيمَتَها، وَغَطَّتْهُ بِغَطاء.

19 A nd he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk and gave him to drink and covered him again.

فَقالَ لَها: «أعطِنِي قَلِيلاً مِنَ الماءِ لِأشْرَبَ، فَأنا عَطْشانٌ.» فَفَتَحَتْ وِعاءَ الحَلِيبِ الجِلْدِيَّ، وَأعْطَتْهُ لِيَشْرَبَ، ثُمَّ غَطَّتْهُ.

20 A gain he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and if anyone should come and enquire of thee and say, Is there anyone here? Thou shalt say, No.

فَقالَ لَها: «قِفِي فِي مَدْخَلِ الخَيمَةِ، وَإنْ جاءَ أحَدٌ وَسَألَكِ: ‹هَلْ مِنْ أحَدٍ هُنا؟› فَقُولِي: ‹لا.›»

21 T hen Jael, Heber’s wife, took the tent stake, and putting a hammer in her hand, went softly unto him and smote the stake into his temples and fastened it into the ground, for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.

أمّا ياعِيلُ زَوجَةُ حابِرَ، فَأخَذَتْ وَتَداً وَمِطرَقَةً فِي يَدِها، وَاقتَرَبَتْ مِنْهُ بِهُدُوءٍ وَهُوَ نائِمٌ نَوماً عَميقاً بِسَبِبِ تَعَبِهِ، وَدَقَّتِ الوَتَدَ فِي جانِبِ رَأْسِهِ حَتَّى نَفَذَ إلَى الأرْضِ! فَماتَ سِيسَرا.

22 A nd as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him and said unto him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he entered into where she was, behold, Sisera lay dead with the stake through his temples.

وَفِي تِلْكَ اللَّحْظَةِ، وَصَلَ باراقُ الَّذِي كانَ يُطارِدُ سِيسَرا، فَخَرَجَتْ ياعِيلُ لِتُلاقِيَهُ، وَقالَتْ لَهُ: «تَعالَ، وَسَأُرِيكَ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي تَبْحَثُ عَنِهُ.» فَدَخَلَ خَيمَتَها، فَإذْ بِسِيسَرا مُلْقَىً مَيِّتاً، وَالوَتَدُ فِي رَأْسِهِ.

23 S o God subjected on that day Jabin, the king of Canaan, before the sons of Israel.

وَهَكَذا أخضَعَ اللهُ فِي ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ يابِينَ، مَلِكَ كَنْعانَ، لِبَنِي إسْرائِيلَ.

24 A nd the hand of the sons of Israel began to prosper and to prevail against Jabin, the king of Canaan until they had destroyed him.

ثُمَّ اشْتَدَّتْ قُوَّةُ بَنِي إسْرائِيلَ أكثَرَ فَأكثَرَ عَلَى يابِينَ، مَلِكِ كَنْعانَ، إلَى أنْ قَضَوْا عَلَيهِ.
