Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1In that day Debbora and Barac son of Abinoem sung, and said:
1Καὶ ἦσαν Δεββῶρα καὶ Βαρὰκ υἱὸς Ἀβινεὲμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγοντες,
2O you of Israel, that have willingly offered your lives to danger, bless the Lord.
2Ἀπεκαλύφθη ἀποκάλυμμα ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ ἑκουσιασθῆναι λαὸν, εὐλογεῖτε Κύριον.
3Hear, 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.
3Ἀκούσατε βασιλεῖς, καὶ ἐνωτίσασθε σατράπαι· ᾄσομαι ἐγώ εἰμι τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐγώ εἰμι, ψαλῶ τῷ Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ Ἰσραήλ.
4O Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, and passedst by the regions of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped water.
4Κύριε, 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.
5The mountains melted before the face of the Lord, and Sinai before the face of the Lord the God of Israel.
5Ὄρη ἐσαλεύθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου Ἐλωῒ, τοῦτο Σινὰ ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
6In 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.
6Ἐν ἡμέραις Σαμεγὰρ υἱοῦ Ἀνὰθ, ἐν ἡμέραις Ἰαὴλ, ἐξέλιπον ὁδοὺς, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἀτραποὺς, ἐπορεύθησαν ὁδοὺς διεστραμμένας.
7The valiant men ceased, and rested in Israel: until Debbora arose, a mother arose in Israel.
7Ἐξέλιπον δυνατοὶ ἐν Ἰσραὴλ, ἐξέλιπον ἕως οὗ ἀνέστη Δεββῶρα, ἕως οὗ ἀνέστη μήτηρ ἐν Ἰσραήλ.
8The 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.
8Ἐξελέξαντο θεοὺς καινοὺς, τότε ἐπολέμησαν πόλεις ἀρχόντων· θυρεὸς ἐὰν ὀφθῇ καὶ λόγχη ἐν τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάσιν ἐν Ἰσραήλ.
9My heart loveth the princes of Israel: O you that of your own good will offered yourselves to danger, bless the Lord.
9Ἡ καρδία μου εἰς τὰ διατεταγμένα τῷ Ἰσραήλ· οἱ ἑκούσιαζόμενοι ἐν λαῷ εὐλογεῖτε Κύριον.
10Speak, you that ride upon fair asses, and you that sit in judgment, and walk in the way.
10Ἐπιβεβηκότες ἐπὶ ὄνου θηλείας μεσημβρίας, καθήμενοι ἐπὶ κριτηρίου, καὶ πορευόμενοι ἐπὶ ὁδοὺς συνέδρων ἐφʼ ὁδῷ,
11Where 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.
11διηγεῖσθε, ἀπὸ φωνῆς ἀνακρουομένων ἀναμέσον ὑδρευομένων· ἐκεῖ δώσουσι δικαιοσύνας· Κύριε δικαιοσύνας αὔξησον ἐν Ἰσραήλ· τότε κατέβη εἰς τὰς πόλεις λαὸς Κυρίου.
12Arise, arise, O Debbora, arise, arise, and utter a canticle. Arise, Barac, and take hold of thy captives, O son of Abinoem.
12Ἐξεγείρου, ἐξεγείρου, Δεββῶρα· ἐξεγείρου, ἐξεγείρου, λάλησον ᾠδήν· ἀνάστα Βαρὰκ, καὶ αἰχμαλώτισον αἰχμάλωσίαν σου υἱὸς Ἀβινεέμ.
13The remnants of the people are saved, the Lord hath fought among the valiant ones.
13Τότε κατέβη κατάλειμμα τοῖς ἰσχυροῖς· λαὸς Κυρίου κατέβη αὐτῷ ἐν τοῖς κραταιοῖς ἐξ ἐμοῦ.
14Out 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.
14Ἐφραῒμ 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.
15The 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.
15Καὶ ἀρχηγοι ἐν Ἰσσάχαρ μετὰ Δεββώρας καὶ Βαράκ· οὕτω Βαρὰκ ἐν κοιλάσιν ἀπέστειλεν ἐν ποσὶν αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὰς μερίδας Ῥουβὴν, μεγάλοι ἐξικνούμενοι καρδίαν.
16Why 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.
16Εἰς τί ἐκάθισαν ἀναμέσον τῆς διγομίας τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι συρισμοῦ ἀγελῶν εἰς διαιρέσεις Ῥουβήν; μεγάλοι ἐξετασμοὶ καρδίας.
17Galaad rested beyond the Jordan, and Dan applied himself to ships: Aser dwelt on the sea shore, and abode in the havens.
17Γαλαάδ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου οὗ ἐσκήνωσε· καὶ Δὰν εἰς τί παροικεῖ πλοίοις; Ἀσὴρ ἐκάθισε παραλίαν θαλασσῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ διεξόδοις αὐτοῦ σκηνώσει.
18But Zabulon and Nephtali offered their lives to death in the region of Merome.
18Ζαβουλὼν λαὸς ὠνείδισε ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ εἰς θάνατον, καὶ Νεφθαλὶ ἐπὶ ὕψη ἀγροῦ
19The kings came and fought, the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanach by the waters of Mageddo, and yet they took no spoils.
19ἦλθον αὐτῶν. Βασιλεῖς παρετάξαντο, τότε ἐπολέμησαν βασιλεῖς Χαναὰν ἐν Θαναὰχ ἐπὶ ὕδατι Μαγεδδὼ, δῶρον ἀργυρίου οὐκ ἔλαβον.
20War from heaven was made against them, the stars remaining in their order and courses fought against Sisara.
20Ἐξ οὐρανοῦ παρετάξαντο οἱ ἀστέρες, ἐκ τρίβων αὐτῶν παρετάξαντο μετὰ Σισάρα.
21The torrent of Cison dragged their carcasses, the torrent of Cadumim, the torrent of Cisoii: tread thou, my soul, upon the strong ones.
21Χειμάῤῥους Κισῶν ἐξέσυρεν αὐτοὺς, χειμάῤῥους ἀρχαίων, χειμάῤῥους Κισῶν· καταπατήσει αὐτὸν ψυχή μου δυνατή.
22The hoofs of the horses were broken whilst the stoutest of the enemies fled amain, and fell headlong down.
22Ὅτε ἐνεποδίσθησαν πτέρναι ἵππου, σπουδῇ ἔσπευσαν ἰσχυροὶ αὐτοῦ
23Curse 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.
23καταρᾶσθαι Μηρὼζ, εἶπεν ἄγγελος Κυρίου, καταρᾶσθε· ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὁ κατοικῶν αὐτὴν, ὅτι οὐκ ἤλθοσαν εἰς βοήθειαν Κυρίου, εἰς βοήθειαν ἐν δυνατοῖς.
24Blessed among women be Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, and blessed be she in her tent.
24Εὐλογηθείη ἐν γυναιξὶν Ἰαὴλ γυνὴ Χαβὲρ τοῦ Κιναίου, ἀπὸ γυναικῶν ἐν σκηναῖς εὐλογηθείη.
25He asked her water and she gave him milk, and offered him butter in a dish fit for princes.
25Ὕδωρ ᾔτησε, γάλα ἔδωκεν ἐν λεκάνῃ· ὑπερεχόντων προσήνεγκε βούτυρον.
26She 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.
26Χεῖρα αὐτῆς ἀριστερὰν εἰς πάσσαλον ἐξέτεινε, καὶ δεξιὰν αὐτῆς εἰς σφύραν κοπίωντων, καὶ ἐσφυροκόπησε Σισάρα, διήλωσε κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξε, διήλωσε κρόταφον αὐτοῦ.
27At her feet he fell: he fainted, and he died: he rolled before her feet, and he lay lifeless and wretched.
27Ἀναμέσον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῆς κατεκυλίσθη· ἔπεσε καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἀναμέσον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῆς, κατακλιθεὶς ἔπεσε· καθὼς κατεκλίθη ἐκεῖ ἔπεσεν ἐξοδευθείς.
28His 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?
28Διὰ τῆς θυρίδος παρέκυψε μήτηρ Σισάρα ἐκτὸς τοῦ τοξικοῦ, διότι ᾐσχύνθη ἅρμα αὐτοῦ; διότι ἐχρόνισαν πόδες ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ;
29One that was wiser than the rest of his wives, returned this answer to her mother in law:
29Αἱ σοφαὶ ἄρχουσαι αὐτῆς ἀπεκρίθησαν πρὸς αὐτὴν, καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπέστρεψε λόγους αὐτῆς ἑαυτῇ,
30Perhaps 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.
30οὐχ εὑρήσουσιν αὐτὸν διαμερίζοντα σκῦλα; οἰκτίρμων οἰκτειρήσει εἰς κεφαλὴν ἀνδρός· σκῦλα βαμμάτων τῷ Σισάρᾳ, σκῦλα βαμμάτων ποικιλίας, βάμματα ποικιλτῶν αὐτὰ τῷ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ σκῦλα.
31So let all thy enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love thee shine, as the sun shineth in his rising.
31Οὕτως ἀπόλοιντο πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί σου, Κύριε· καὶ οἱ ἀγαπῶντες αὐτὸν, ὡς ἔξοδος ἡλίου ἐν δυνάμει αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη.
32And the land rested for forty years.
