King James Version with Apocrypha
Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
1Καὶ ἦσαν Δεββῶρα καὶ Βαρὰκ υἱὸς Ἀβινεὲμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγοντες,
2Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
2Ἀπεκαλύφθη ἀποκάλυμμα ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ ἑκουσιασθῆναι λαὸν, εὐλογεῖτε Κύριον.
3Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD ; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.
3Ἀκούσατε βασιλεῖς, καὶ ἐνωτίσασθε σατράπαι· ᾄσομαι ἐγώ εἰμι τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐγώ εἰμι, ψαλῶ τῷ Κυρίῳ τῷ Θεῷ Ἰσραήλ.
4LORD , when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also 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 from before the LORD , even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.
5Ὄρη ἐσαλεύθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου Ἐλωῒ, τοῦτο Σινὰ ἀπὸ προσώπου Κυρίου Θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ.
6In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.
6Ἐν ἡμέραις Σαμεγὰρ υἱοῦ Ἀνὰθ, ἐν ἡμέραις Ἰαὴλ, ἐξέλιπον ὁδοὺς, καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἀτραποὺς, ἐπορεύθησαν ὁδοὺς διεστραμμένας.
7The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
7Ἐξέλιπον δυνατοὶ ἐν Ἰσραὴλ, ἐξέλιπον ἕως οὗ ἀνέστη Δεββῶρα, ἕως οὗ ἀνέστη μήτηρ ἐν Ἰσραήλ.
8They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
8Ἐξελέξαντο θεοὺς καινοὺς, τότε ἐπολέμησαν πόλεις ἀρχόντων· θυρεὸς ἐὰν ὀφθῇ καὶ λόγχη ἐν τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάσιν ἐν Ἰσραήλ.
9My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD .
9Ἡ καρδία μου εἰς τὰ διατεταγμένα τῷ Ἰσραήλ· οἱ ἑκούσιαζόμενοι ἐν λαῷ εὐλογεῖτε Κύριον.
10Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
10Ἐπιβεβηκότες ἐπὶ ὄνου θηλείας μεσημβρίας, καθήμενοι ἐπὶ κριτηρίου, καὶ πορευόμενοι ἐπὶ ὁδοὺς συνέδρων ἐφʼ ὁδῷ,
11They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD , even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.
11διηγεῖσθε, ἀπὸ φωνῆς ἀνακρουομένων ἀναμέσον ὑδρευομένων· ἐκεῖ δώσουσι δικαιοσύνας· Κύριε δικαιοσύνας αὔξησον ἐν Ἰσραήλ· τότε κατέβη εἰς τὰς πόλεις λαὸς Κυρίου.
12Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
12Ἐξεγείρου, ἐξεγείρου, Δεββῶρα· ἐξεγείρου, ἐξεγείρου, λάλησον ᾠδήν· ἀνάστα Βαρὰκ, καὶ αἰχμαλώτισον αἰχμάλωσίαν σου υἱὸς Ἀβινεέμ.
13Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
13Τότε κατέβη κατάλειμμα τοῖς ἰσχυροῖς· λαὸς Κυρίου κατέβη αὐτῷ ἐν τοῖς κραταιοῖς ἐξ ἐμοῦ.
14Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
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.
15And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
15Καὶ ἀρχηγοι ἐν Ἰσσάχαρ μετὰ Δεββώρας καὶ Βαράκ· οὕτω Βαρὰκ ἐν κοιλάσιν ἀπέστειλεν ἐν ποσὶν αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὰς μερίδας Ῥουβὴν, μεγάλοι ἐξικνούμενοι καρδίαν.
16Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
16Εἰς τί ἐκάθισαν ἀναμέσον τῆς διγομίας τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι συρισμοῦ ἀγελῶν εἰς διαιρέσεις Ῥουβήν; μεγάλοι ἐξετασμοὶ καρδίας.
17Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
17Γαλαάδ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου οὗ ἐσκήνωσε· καὶ Δὰν εἰς τί παροικεῖ πλοίοις; Ἀσὴρ ἐκάθισε παραλίαν θαλασσῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ διεξόδοις αὐτοῦ σκηνώσει.
18Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
18Ζαβουλὼν λαὸς ὠνείδισε ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ εἰς θάνατον, καὶ Νεφθαλὶ ἐπὶ ὕψη ἀγροῦ
19The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
19ἦλθον αὐτῶν. Βασιλεῖς παρετάξαντο, τότε ἐπολέμησαν βασιλεῖς Χαναὰν ἐν Θαναὰχ ἐπὶ ὕδατι Μαγεδδὼ, δῶρον ἀργυρίου οὐκ ἔλαβον.
20They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
20Ἐξ οὐρανοῦ παρετάξαντο οἱ ἀστέρες, ἐκ τρίβων αὐτῶν παρετάξαντο μετὰ Σισάρα.
21The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
21Χειμάῤῥους Κισῶν ἐξέσυρεν αὐτοὺς, χειμάῤῥους ἀρχαίων, χειμάῤῥους Κισῶν· καταπατήσει αὐτὸν ψυχή μου δυνατή.
22Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.
22Ὅτε ἐνεποδίσθησαν πτέρναι ἵππου, σπουδῇ ἔσπευσαν ἰσχυροὶ αὐτοῦ
23Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD , curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD , to the help of the LORD against the mighty.
23καταρᾶσθαι Μηρὼζ, εἶπεν ἄγγελος Κυρίου, καταρᾶσθε· ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὁ κατοικῶν αὐτὴν, ὅτι οὐκ ἤλθοσαν εἰς βοήθειαν Κυρίου, εἰς βοήθειαν ἐν δυνατοῖς.
24Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
24Εὐλογηθείη ἐν γυναιξὶν Ἰαὴλ γυνὴ Χαβὲρ τοῦ Κιναίου, ἀπὸ γυναικῶν ἐν σκηναῖς εὐλογηθείη.
25He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
25Ὕδωρ ᾔτησε, γάλα ἔδωκεν ἐν λεκάνῃ· ὑπερεχόντων προσήνεγκε βούτυρον.
26She put her hand to the nail, 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.
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 bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
27Ἀναμέσον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῆς κατεκυλίσθη· ἔπεσε καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἀναμέσον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῆς, κατακλιθεὶς ἔπεσε· καθὼς κατεκλίθη ἐκεῖ ἔπεσεν ἐξοδευθείς.
28The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
28Διὰ τῆς θυρίδος παρέκυψε μήτηρ Σισάρα ἐκτὸς τοῦ τοξικοῦ, διότι ᾐσχύνθη ἅρμα αὐτοῦ; διότι ἐχρόνισαν πόδες ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ;
29Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
29Αἱ σοφαὶ ἄρχουσαι αὐτῆς ἀπεκρίθησαν πρὸς αὐτὴν, καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπέστρεψε λόγους αὐτῆς ἑαυτῇ,
30Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?
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 thine enemies perish, O LORD : but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
31Οὕτως ἀπόλοιντο πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί σου, Κύριε· καὶ οἱ ἀγαπῶντες αὐτὸν, ὡς ἔξοδος ἡλίου ἐν δυνάμει αὐτοῦ. Καὶ ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη.
