1ΚΑΙ προσέθεντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον Κυρίου· καὶ Ἀὼδ ἀπέθανε.
1After Ehud died, the Israelites again did evil in the sight of the LORD.
2καὶ ἀπέδοτο τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ Κύριος ἐν χειρὶ Ἰαβὶν βασιλέως Χαναάν, ὃς ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἀσώρ· καὶ ὁ ἄρχων τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ Σισάρα, καὶ αὐτὸς κατῴκει ἐν Ἀρισὼθ τῶν ἐθνῶν.
2So the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his forces was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim.
3καὶ ἐκέκραξαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πρὸς Κύριον, ὅτι ἐννακόσια ἅρματα σιδηρᾶ ἦν αὐτῷ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἔθλιψε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ κατὰ κράτος εἴκοσιν ἔτη.
3Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, because Jabin had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he had harshly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years.
4καὶ Δεββώρα γυνὴ προφῆτις γυνὴ Λαφιδώθ, αὕτη ἔκρινε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ.
4Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.
5καὶ αὐτὴ ἐκάθητο ὑπὸ φοίνικα Δεββώρα ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς Ραμὰ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς Βαιθὴλ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Ἐφραίμ, καὶ ἀνέβαινον πρὸς αὐτὴν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ εἰς κρίσιν.
5And she would sit under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, where the Israelites would go up to her for judgment.
6καὶ ἀπέστειλε Δεββώρα καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὸν Βαρὰκ υἱὸν Ἀβινεὲμ ἐκ Κάδης Νεφθαλὶ καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· οὐχὶ ἐνετείλατο Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραήλ σοι καὶ ἀπελεύσῃ εἰς ὄρος Θαβὼρ καὶ λήψῃ μετὰ σεαυτοῦ δέκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Νεφθαλὶ καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Ζαβουλών;
6She summoned Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, “Surely the LORD, the God of Israel, is commanding you: ‘Go and march to Mount Tabor, taking with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun.
7καὶ ἐπάξω πρὸς σὲ εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν Κισῶν τὸν Σισάρα ἄρχοντα τῆς δυνάμεως Ἰαβὶν καὶ τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ πλῆθος αὐτοῦ καὶ παραδώσω αὐτόν εἰς χεῖράς σου.
7And I will draw out Sisera the commander of Jabin’s army, his chariots, and his troops to the River Kishon, and I will deliver him into your hand.’”
8καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὴν Βαράκ· ἐὰν πορευθῇς μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ, πορεύσομαι, καὶ ἐὰν μὴ πορευθῇς, οὐ πορεύσομαι· ὅτι οὐκ οἶδα τὴν ἡμέραν, ἐν ᾗ εὐοδοῖ Κύριος τὸν ἄγγελον μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ.
8Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go.”
9καὶ εἶπε· πορευομένη πορεύσομαι μετὰ σοῦ· πλὴν γίνωσκε ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται τὸ προτέρημά σου ἐπὶ τὴν ὁδόν, ἣν σὺ πορεύῃ, ὅτι ἐν χειρὶ γυναικὸς ἀποδώσεται Κύριος τὸν Σισάρα. καὶ ἀνέστη Δεββώρα καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετὰ τοῦ Βαρὰκ ἐκ Κάδης.
9“I will certainly go with you,” Deborah replied, “but the road you are taking will bring you no honor, because the LORD will be selling Sisera into the hand of a woman.” So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh,
10καὶ ἐβόησε Βαρὰκ τὸν Ζαβουλὼν καὶ τὸν Νεφθαλὶ ἐκ Κάδης, καὶ ἀνέβησαν κατὰ πόδας αὐτοῦ δέκα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν· καί ἀνέβη Δεββώρα μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ.
10where he summoned Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah also went with him.
11καὶ Χαβὲρ ὁ Κιναῖος ἐχωρίσθη ἀπὸ Καινᾶ ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰωβὰβ γαμβροῦ Μωυσῆ καὶ ἔπηξε τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ ἕως δρυὸς πλεονεκτούντων, ἥ ἐστιν ἐχόμενα Κεδές.
11Now Heber the Kenite had moved away from the Kenites, the descendants of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent by the great tree of Zaanannim, which was near Kedesh.
12καὶ ἀνηγγέλη Σισάρᾳ, ὅτι ἀνέβη Βαρὰκ υἱὸς Ἀβινεὲμ εἰς ὄρος Θαβώρ.
12When Sisera was told that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up Mount Tabor,
13καὶ ἐκάλεσε Σισάρα πάντα τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ ἐννακόσια ἅρματα σιδηρᾶ, καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Ἀρισὼθ τῶν ἐθνῶν εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν Κισῶν.
13he summoned all nine hundred of his iron chariots and all the men with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the River Kishon.
14καὶ εἶπε Δεββώρα πρὸς Βαράκ· ἀνάστηθι, ὅτι αὕτη ἡ ἡμέρα, ἐν ᾗ παρέδωκε Κύριος τὸν Σισάρα ἐν τῇ χειρί σου, ὅτι Κύριος ἐξελεύσεται ἔμπροσθέν σου. καὶ κατέβη Βαρὰκ κατὰ τὸ ὄρος Θαβὼρ καὶ δέκα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ.
14Then Deborah said to Barak, “Arise, for this is the day that the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone before you?” So Barak came down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.
15καὶ ἐξέστησε Κύριος τὸν Σισάρα καὶ πάντα τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν παρεμβολὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν στόματι ρομφαίας ἐνώπιον Βαράκ· καὶ κατέβη Σισάρα ἐπάνωθεν τοῦ ἅρματος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔφυγε τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτοῦ.
15And in front of him the LORD routed with the sword Sisera, all his charioteers, and all his army. Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled on foot.
16καὶ Βαρὰκ διώκων ὀπίσω τῶν ἁρμάτων καὶ ὀπίσω τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἕως Ἀρισὼθ τῶν ἐθνῶν· καὶ ἔπεσε πᾶσα παρεμβολὴ Σισάρα ἐν στόματι ρομφαίας, οὐ κατελείφθη ἕως ἑνός.
16Then Barak pursued the chariots and army as far as Harosheth-hagoyim, and the whole army of Sisera fell by the sword; not a single man was left.
17καὶ Σισάρα ἔφυγε τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτοῦ εἰς σκηνὴν Ἰαὴλ γυναικὸς Χαβὲρ ἑταίρου τοῦ Κιναίου, ὅτι εἰρήνη ἦν ἀναμέσον Ἰαβὶν βασιλέως Ἀσὼρ καὶ ἀναμέσον τοῦ οἴκου Χαβὲρ τοῦ Κιναίου.
17Meanwhile, Sisera had fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there was peace between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
18καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰαὴλ εἰς συνάντησιν Σισάρα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ἔκκλινον, κύριέ μου, ἔκλινον πρός με, μὴ φοβοῦ· καὶ ἐξέκλινε πρὸς αὐτὴν εἰς τὴν σκηνήν. καὶ περιέβαλεν αὐτὸν ἐπιβολαίῳ.
18Jael went out to greet Sisera and said to him, “Come in, my lord. Come in with me. Do not be afraid.” So he entered her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
19καὶ εἶπε Σισάρα πρὸς αὐτήν· πότισόν με δὴ μικρὸν ὕδωρ, ὅτι ἐδίψησα· καὶ ἤνοιξε τὸν ἀσκὸν τοῦ γάλακτος, καὶ ἐπότισεν αὐτὸν καὶ περιέβαλεν αὐτόν.
19Sisera said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” So she opened a container of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him again.
20καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὴν Σισάρα· στῆθι δὴ ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς, καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ἀνὴρ ἔλθῃ πρός σε καὶ ἐρωτήσῃ σε καὶ εἴπῃ· εἰ ἔστιν ὧδε ἀνήρ; καὶ ἐρεῖς· οὐκ ἔστι.
20“Stand at the entrance to the tent,” he said, “and if anyone comes and asks you, ‘Is there a man here?’ say, ‘No.’”
21καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰαὴλ γυνὴ Χαβὲρ τὸν πάσσαλον τῆς σκηνῆς καὶ ἔθηκε τὴν σφῦραν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτῆς καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν κρυφῇ καὶ ἔπηξε τὸν πάσσαλον ἐν τῷ κροτάφῳ αὐτοῦ, καὶ διεξῆλθεν ἐν τῇ γῇ· καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξεστὼς ἐσκοτώθη καὶ ἀπέθανε.
21But as he lay sleeping from exhaustion, Heber’s wife Jael took a tent peg, grabbed a hammer, and went silently to Sisera. She drove the peg through his temple and into the ground, and he died.
22καὶ ἰδοὺ Βαρὰκ διώκων τὸν Σισάρα, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰαὴλ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· δεῦρο καὶ δείξω σοι τὸν ἄνδρα, ὃν σὺ ζητεῖς. καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτήν, καὶ ἰδοὺ Σισάρα ἐρριμμένος νεκρὸς καὶ ὁ πάσσαλος ἐν τῷ κροτάφῳ αὐτοῦ.
22When Barak arrived in pursuit of Sisera, Jael went out to greet him and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man you are seeking.” So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera dead, with a tent peg through his temple.
23καὶ ἐτρόπωσεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν Ἰαβὶν βασιλέα Χαναὰν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἔμπροσθεν τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
23On that day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites.
24καὶ ἐπορεύετο χεὶρ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ πορευομένη καὶ σκληρυνομένη ἐπὶ Ἰαβὶν βασιλέα Χαναάν, ἕως οὗ ἐξωλόθρευσαν τὸν Ἰαβὶν βασιλέα Χαναάν.
24And the hand of the Israelites grew stronger and stronger against Jabin king of Canaan until they destroyed him.
