| 1 | In that day Debbora and Barac son of Abinoem sung, and said: | Cecineruntque Debbora et Barac filius Abinoëm in illo die, dicentes: | Καὶ ἦσαν Δεββῶρα καὶ Βαρὰκ υἱὸς Ἀβινεὲμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγοντες, |
| 2 | O you of Israel, that have willingly offered your lives to danger, bless the Lord. | Qui sponte obtulistis de Israël animas vestras ad periculum, benedicite Domino. | Ἀπεκαλύφθη ἀποκάλυμμα ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ ἑκουσιασθῆναι λαὸν, εὐλογεῖτε Κύριον. |
| 3 | Hear, O ye kings, give ear, ye princes: It is I, it is I, that will sing to the Lord, I will sing to the Lord the God of Israel. | Audite, reges; auribus percipite, principes: ego sum, ego sum, quae Domino canam, psallam Domino Deo Israël. | Ἀκούσατε βασιλεῖς, καὶ ἐνωτίσασθε σατράπαι· ᾄσομαι ἐγώ εἰμι τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐγώ εἰμι, ψαλῶ τῷ Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ Ἰσραήλ. |
| 4 | O Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, and passedst by the regions of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped water. | Domine, cum exires de Seir, et transires per regiones Edom, terra mota est, caelique ac nubes distillaverunt aquis. | Κύριε, ἐν τῇ ἐξόδῳ σου ἐν Σηεὶρ, ἐν τῷ ἀπαίρειν σε ἐξ ἀγροῦ Ἐδὼμ, γῆ ἐσείσθη, καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς ἔσταξε δρόσους, καὶ αἱ νεφέλαι ἔσταξαν ὕδωρ. |
| 5 | The mountains melted before the face of the Lord, and Sinai before the face of the Lord the God of Israel. | Montes fluxerunt a facie Domini, et Sinai a facie Domini Dei Israël. | Ὄρη ἐσαλεύθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου Ἐλωῒ, τοῦτο Σινὰ ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ. |
| 6 | In the days of Samgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jahel the paths rested: and they that went by them, walked through by-ways. | In diebus Samgar filii Anath, in diebus Iahel quieverunt semitae: et qui ingrediebantur per eas, ambulaverunt per calles devios. | Ἐν ἡμέραις Σαμεγὰρ υἱοῦ Ἀνὰθ, ἐν ἡμέραις Ἰαὴλ, ἐξέλιπον ὁδοὺς, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἀτραποὺς, ἐπορεύθησαν ὁδοὺς διεστραμμένας. |
| 7 | The valiant men ceased, and rested in Israel: until Debbora arose, a mother arose in Israel. | Cessaverunt fortes in Israël, et quieverunt: donec surgeret Debbora, surgeret mater in Israël. | Ἐξέλιπον δυνατοὶ ἐν Ἰσραὴλ, ἐξέλιπον ἕως οὗ ἀνέστη Δεββῶρα, ἕως οὗ ἀνέστη μήτηρ ἐν Ἰσραήλ. |
| 8 | The Lord chose new wars, and he himself overthrew the gates of the enemies: a shield and spear was not seen among forty thousand of Israel. | Nova bella elegit Dominus, et portas hostium ipse subvertit: clypeus et hasta si apparuerint in quadraginta millibus Israël. | Ἐξελέξαντο θεοὺς καινοὺς, τότε ἐπολέμησαν πόλεις ἀρχόντων· θυρεὸς ἐὰν ὀφθῇ καὶ λόγχη ἐν τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάσιν ἐν Ἰσραήλ. |
| 9 | My heart loveth the princes of Israel: O you that of your own good will offered yourselves to danger, bless the Lord. | Cor meum diligit principes Israël: qui propria voluntate obtulistis vos discrimini, benedicite Domino. | Ἡ καρδία μου εἰς τὰ διατεταγμένα τῷ Ἰσραήλ· οἱ ἑκούσιαζόμενοι ἐν λαῷ εὐλογεῖτε Κύριον. |
| 10 | Speak, you that ride upon fair asses, and you that sit in judgment, and walk in the way. | Qui ascenditis super nitentes asinos, et sedetis in iudicio, et ambulatis in via, loquimini. | Ἐπιβεβηκότες ἐπὶ ὄνου θηλείας μεσημβρίας, καθήμενοι ἐπὶ κριτηρίου, καὶ πορευόμενοι ἐπὶ ὁδοὺς συνέδρων ἐφʼ ὁδῷ, |
| 11 | Where the chariots were dashed together, and the army of the enemies was choked, there let the justices of the Lord be rehearsed, and his clemency towards the brave men of Israel: then the people of the Lord went down to the gates, and obtained the sovereignty. | Ubi collisi sunt currus, et hostium suffocatus est exercitus, ibi narrentur iustitiae Domini, et clementia in fortes Israël: tunc descendit populus Domini ad portas, et obtinuit principatum. | διηγεῖσθε, ἀπὸ φωνῆς ἀνακρουομένων ἀναμέσον ὑδρευομένων· ἐκεῖ δώσουσι δικαιοσύνας· Κύριε δικαιοσύνας αὔξησον ἐν Ἰσραήλ· τότε κατέβη εἰς τὰς πόλεις λαὸς Κυρίου. |
| 12 | Arise, arise, O Debbora, arise, arise, and utter a canticle. Arise, Barac, and take hold of thy captives, O son of Abinoem. | Surge, surge Debbora; surge, surge, et loquere canticum: surge Barac, et apprehende captivos tuos, fili Abinoëm. | Ἐξεγείρου, ἐξεγείρου, Δεββῶρα· ἐξεγείρου, ἐξεγείρου, λάλησον ᾠδήν· ἀνάστα Βαρὰκ, καὶ αἰχμαλώτισον αἰχμάλωσίαν σου υἱὸς Ἀβινεέμ. |
| 13 | The remnants of the people are saved, the Lord hath fought among the valiant ones. | Salvatae sunt reliquiae populi: Dominus in fortibus dimicavit. | Τότε κατέβη κατάλειμμα τοῖς ἰσχυροῖς· λαὸς Κυρίου κατέβη αὐτῷ ἐν τοῖς κραταιοῖς ἐξ ἐμοῦ. |
| 14 | Out of Ephraim he destroyed them into Amalec, and after him out of Benjamin into thy people, O Amalec: Out of Machir there came down princes, and out of Zabulon they that led the army to fight. | Ex Ephraim delevit eos in Amalec, et post eum ex Beniamin in populos tuos, o Amalec: de Machir principes descenderunt, et de Zabulon qui exercitum ducerent ad bellandum. | Ἐφραῒμ ἐξεῤῥίζωσεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ Ἀμαλὴκ, ὀπίσω σου Βενιαμὶν ἐν τοῖς λαοῖς σου· ἐν ἐμοὶ Μαχὶρ κατέβησαν ἐξερευνῶντες· καὶ ἀπὸ Ζαβουλὼν ἕλκοντες ἐν ῥάβδῳ διηγήσεως γραμματέως. |
| 15 | The captains of Issachar were with Debbora, and followed the steps of Barac, who exposed himself to danger, as one going headlong, and into a pit. Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men. | Duces Issachar fuere cum Debbora, et Barac vestigia sunt secuti, qui quasi in praeceps ac barathrum se discrimini dedit: diviso contra se Ruben, magnanimorum reperta est contentio. | Καὶ ἀρχηγοι ἐν Ἰσσάχαρ μετὰ Δεββώρας καὶ Βαράκ· οὕτω Βαρὰκ ἐν κοιλάσιν ἀπέστειλεν ἐν ποσὶν αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὰς μερίδας Ῥουβὴν, μεγάλοι ἐξικνούμενοι καρδίαν. |
| 16 | Why dwellest thou between two borders, that thou mayest hear the bleatings of the flocks? Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men. | Quare habitas inter duos terminos, ut audias sibilos gregum? diviso contra se Ruben, magnanimorum reperta est contentio. | Εἰς τί ἐκάθισαν ἀναμέσον τῆς διγομίας τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι συρισμοῦ ἀγελῶν εἰς διαιρέσεις Ῥουβήν; μεγάλοι ἐξετασμοὶ καρδίας. |
| 17 | Galaad rested beyond the Jordan, and Dan applied himself to ships: Aser dwelt on the sea shore, and abode in the havens. | Galaad trans Iordanem quiescebat, et Dan vacabat navibus: Aser habitabat in littore maris, et in portubus morabatur. | Γαλαάδ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου οὗ ἐσκήνωσε· καὶ Δὰν εἰς τί παροικεῖ πλοίοις; Ἀσὴρ ἐκάθισε παραλίαν θαλασσῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ διεξόδοις αὐτοῦ σκηνώσει. |
| 18 | But Zabulon and Nephtali offered their lives to death in the region of Merome. | Zabulon vero et Nephthali obtulerunt animas suas morti in regione Merome. | Ζαβουλὼν λαὸς ὠνείδισε ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ εἰς θάνατον, καὶ Νεφθαλὶ ἐπὶ ὕψη ἀγροῦ |
| 19 | The kings came and fought, the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanach by the waters of Mageddo, and yet they took no spoils. | Venerunt reges et pugnaverunt: pugnaverunt reges Chanaan in Thanach iuxta aquas Mageddo, et tamen nihil tulere praedantes. | ἦλθον αὐτῶν. Βασιλεῖς παρετάξαντο, τότε ἐπολέμησαν βασιλεῖς Χαναὰν ἐν Θαναὰχ ἐπὶ ὕδατι Μαγεδδὼ, δῶρον ἀργυρίου οὐκ ἔλαβον. |
| 20 | War from heaven was made against them, the stars remaining in their order and courses fought against Sisara. | De caelo dimicatum est contra eos: stellae manentes in ordine et cursu suo, adversus Sisaram pugnaverunt. | Ἐξ οὐρανοῦ παρετάξαντο οἱ ἀστέρες, ἐκ τρίβων αὐτῶν παρετάξαντο μετὰ Σισάρα. |
| 21 | The torrent of Cison dragged their carcasses, the torrent of Cadumim, the torrent of Cisoii: tread thou, my soul, upon the strong ones. | Torrens Cison traxit cadavera eorum, torrens Cadumim, torrens Cison: conculca, anima mea, robustos. | Χειμάῤῥους Κισῶν ἐξέσυρεν αὐτοὺς, χειμάῤῥους ἀρχαίων, χειμάῤῥους Κισῶν· καταπατήσει αὐτὸν ψυχή μου δυνατή. |
| 22 | The hoofs of the horses were broken whilst the stoutest of the enemies fled amain, and fell headlong down. | Ungulae equorum ceciderunt, fugientibus impetu, et per praeceps ruentibus fortissimis hostium. | Ὅτε ἐνεποδίσθησαν πτέρναι ἵππου, σπουδῇ ἔσπευσαν ἰσχυροὶ αὐτοῦ |
| 23 | Curse ye the land of Meroz, said the angel of the Lord: curse the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to help his most valiant men. | Maledicite terrae Meroz, dixit angelus Domini: maledicite habitatoribus eius, quia non venerunt ad auxilium Domini, in adiutorium fortissimorum eius. | καταρᾶσθαι Μηρὼζ, εἶπεν ἄγγελος Κυρίου, καταρᾶσθε· ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὁ κατοικῶν αὐτὴν, ὅτι οὐκ ἤλθοσαν εἰς βοήθειαν Κυρίου, εἰς βοήθειαν ἐν δυνατοῖς. |
| 24 | Blessed among women be Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, and blessed be she in her tent. | Benedicta inter mulieres Iahel uxor Haber Cinaei, et benedicatur in tabernaculo suo. | Εὐλογηθείη ἐν γυναιξὶν Ἰαὴλ γυνὴ Χαβὲρ τοῦ Κιναίου, ἀπὸ γυναικῶν ἐν σκηναῖς εὐλογηθείη. |
| 25 | He asked her water and she gave him milk, and offered him butter in a dish fit for princes. | Aquam petenti lac dedit, et in phiala principum obtulit butyrum. | Ὕδωρ ᾔτησε, γάλα ἔδωκεν ἐν λεκάνῃ· ὑπερεχόντων προσήνεγκε βούτυρον. |
| 26 | She put her left hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman’s hammer, and she struck Sisara, seeking in his head a place for the wound, and strongly piercing through his temples. | Sinistram manum misit ad clavum, et dexteram ad fabrorum malleos. Percussitque Sisaram quaerens in capite vulneri locum, et tempus valide perforans: | Χεῖρα αὐτῆς ἀριστερὰν εἰς πάσσαλον ἐξέτεινε, καὶ δεξιὰν αὐτῆς εἰς σφύραν κοπίωντων, καὶ ἐσφυροκόπησε Σισάρα, διήλωσε κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξε, διήλωσε κρόταφον αὐτοῦ. |
| 27 | At her feet he fell: he fainted, and he died: he rolled before her feet, and he lay lifeless and wretched. | inter pedes eius ruit; defecit, et mortuus est: volvebatur ante pedes eius, et iacebat exanimis et miserabilis. | Ἀναμέσον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῆς κατεκυλίσθη· ἔπεσε καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἀναμέσον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῆς, κατακλιθεὶς ἔπεσε· καθὼς κατεκλίθη ἐκεῖ ἔπεσεν ἐξοδευθείς. |
| 28 | His mother looked out at a window, and howled: and she spoke from the dining room: Why is his chariot so long in coming back? Why are the feet of his horses so slow? | Per fenestram respiciens, ululabat mater eius: et de coenaculo loquebatur: Cur moratur regredi currus eius? quare tardaverunt pedes quadrigarum illius? | Διὰ τῆς θυρίδος παρέκυψε μήτηρ Σισάρα ἐκτὸς τοῦ τοξικοῦ, διότι ᾐσχύνθη ἅρμα αὐτοῦ; διότι ἐχρόνισαν πόδες ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ; |
| 29 | One that was wiser than the rest of his wives, returned this answer to her mother in law: | Una sapientior ceteris uxoribus eius, haec socrui verba respondit: | Αἱ σοφαὶ ἄρχουσαι αὐτῆς ἀπεκρίθησαν πρὸς αὐτὴν, καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπέστρεψε λόγους αὐτῆς ἑαυτῇ, |
| 30 | Perhaps he is now dividing the spoils, and the fairest of the women is chosen out for him: garments of divers colours are given to Sisara for his prey, and furniture of different kinds is heaped together to adorn the necks. | Forsitan nunc dividit spolia, et pulcherrima feminarum eligitur ei: vestes diversorum Sisarae traduntur in praedam, et supellex varia ad ornanda colla congeritur. | οὐχ εὑρήσουσιν αὐτὸν διαμερίζοντα σκῦλα; οἰκτίρμων οἰκτειρήσει εἰς κεφαλὴν ἀνδρός· σκῦλα βαμμάτων τῷ Σισάρᾳ, σκῦλα βαμμάτων ποικιλίας, βάμματα ποικιλτῶν αὐτὰ τῷ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ σκῦλα. |
| 31 | So let all thy enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love thee shine, as the sun shineth in his rising. | Sic pereant omnes inimici tui, Domine: qui autem diligunt te, sicut sol in ortu suo splendet, ita rutilent. | Οὕτως ἀπόλοιντο πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί σου, Κύριε· καὶ οἱ ἀγαπῶντες αὐτὸν, ὡς ἔξοδος ἡλίου ἐν δυνάμει αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη. |
| 32 | And the land rested for forty years. | Quievitque terra per quadraginta annos. | — |
