Jueces 5
Bible Bovet-Bonnet (1900)
1En ce jour-là Débora chanta ce cantique avec Barak, fils d'Abinoam :
2Que les chefs aient donné le signal, Que le peuple se soit volontairement levé, Bénissez-en l'Eternel !
3Ecoutez, rois, prêtez l'oreille, princes ! Moi, à l'Eternel, moi, je chanterai un cantique, Je psalmodierai à l'Eternel, Dieu d'Israël.
4Eternel, lorsque tu sortais de Séir, Lorsque tu t'avançais des campagnes d'Edom, La terre trembla, les cieux mêmes se fondirent, Les nuées même se fondirent en eau.
5Devant l'Eternel s'ébranlèrent les montagnes, Ce Sinaï, devant l'Eternel, Dieu d'Israël.
6Aux jours de Samoar, fils d'Anath, Aux jours de Jaël, les routes étaient abandonnées, Et les voyageurs prenaient des sentiers détournés.
7Le gouvernement manquait en Israël ; il manquait, Jusqu'à ce que je me sois levée, moi, Débora, Levée, une mère en Israël.
8On choisissait de nouveaux dieux... Et la guerre était aux portes. Voyait-on bouclier ou lance Chez quarante milliers en Israël ?
9Mon cœur aux conducteurs d'Israël Qui se sont levés volontairement au sein du peuple ! Bénissez l'Eternel !
10Vous qui montez de blanches ânesses, Vous qui êtes assis sur des tapis Et vous qui parcourez les chemins, chantez !
11Par la voix des archers entre les abreuvoirs Qu'on célèbre là les justices de l'Eternel, Les justices de son gouvernement en Israël ! Alors le peuple de l'Eternel descendit aux portes.
12Réveille-toi, réveille-toi, Débora ! Réveille-toi, réveille-toi ! Dis un cantique ! Lève-toi, Barak, et fais tes prisonniers, fils d'Abinoam !
13En ce moment descends, résidu de mon peuple Pour former un peuple autour des nobles chefs ! Eternel, descends vers moi parmi les héros !
14D'Ephraïm vinrent ceux qui ont leur racine en Amalek. A ta suite vint Benjamin, parmi tes troupes. De Makir descendirent des commandants Et de Zabulon des conducteurs avec le bâton des chefs.
15Et les princes d'Issacar furent avec Débora, Et Issacar fut tel que Barak. Dans la plaine il se précipita sur ses pas.Près des ruisseaux de Ruben, Il y eut de grandes délibérations !
16Pourquoi es-tu resté dans les enclos A écouter la flûte champêtre ? Près des ruisseaux de Ruben. Grandes consultations !
17Galaad est resté au-delà du Jourdain Et Dan, pourquoi s'est-il tenu dans les navires ? Asser est resté au bord de la mer, Et il est demeuré dans ses ports.
18Zabulon est un peuple qui expose son âme à la mort, Et Nephthali de même, sur les hauteurs des campagnes.
19Des rois vinrent, ils combattirent ; Alors ils combattirent, les rois de Canaan, A Thaanac, au bord des eaux de Méguiddo ; Ils ne remportèrent pas une pièce d'argent.
20Des cieux on combattit ; De leurs orbites les étoiles combattirent contre Sisera ;
21Le torrent du Kison les a charriés, Le torrent des temps anciens, le torrent du Kison. Mon âme, avance hardiment !
22Alors retentirent les sabots des chevaux Dans la fuite, la fuite de leurs guerriers.
23Maudissez Méroz, dit l'ange de l'Eternel, Maudissez, maudissez ses habitants ! Car ils ne vinrent pas au secours de l'Eternel, Au secours de l'Eternel, avec les héros.
24Bénie soit entre les femmes Jaël, Femme de Héber, le Kénien ! Entre les femmes qui habitent sous la tente, qu'elle soit bénie !
25Il demanda de l'eau, elle donna du lait ; Dans la coupe d'honneur elle offrit de la crème.
26Elle étend sa main vers le pieu, Et la droite vers le marteau des ouvriers, Et elle frappe Sisera, lui brise la tête, Fracasse et transperce la tempe.
27A ses pieds il s'affaisse, il tombe, il est étendu ; A ses pieds il s'affaisse, il tombe ; Là où il s'affaisse, il gît inanimé.
28Par la fenêtre elle se penche, la mère de Sisera, et s'écrie à travers le treillis : Qu'y a-t-il que son char tarde à venir ? Pourquoi les pas de ses chevaux ne se font-ils pas entendre ?
29Les plus avisées de ses dames lui répondent (Mais elle se répète à elle-même ses propres paroles) :
30N'ont-ils pas trouvé, ne partagent-ils pas du butin ! Une fille, deux filles pour chaque homme ! Des vêtements d'étoffe teinte pour butin à Sisera, Des vêtements d'étoffe teinte bigarrée pour butin ; Un vêtement d'étoffe teinte, deux vêtements d'étoffe bigarrée pour les épaules de l'épouse !
31Qu'ainsi périssent tous tes ennemis, ô Eternel, Et que ceux qui t'aiment soient comme le soleil Quand il se lève en sa force ! Et le pays fut en repos quarante ans.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y AQUEL día cantó Débora, con Barac, hijo de Abinoam, diciendo:
2Porque ha vengado las injurias de Israel, porque el pueblo se ha ofrecido de su voluntad, load á Jehová.
3Oid, reyes; estad, oh príncipes, atentos: yo cantaré á Jehová, cantaré salmos á Jehová Dios de Israel.
4Cuando saliste de Seir, oh Jehová, cuando te apartaste del campo de Edom, la tierra tembló, y los cielos destilaron, y las nubes gotearon aguas.
5Los montes se derritieron delante de Jehová, aqueste Sinaí, delante de Jehová Dios de Israel.
6En los días de Samgar hijo de Anath, en los días de Jael, cesaron los caminos, y los que andaban por las sendas apartábanse por torcidos senderos.
7Las aldeas habían cesado en Israel, habían decaído; hasta que yo Débora me levanté, me levanté madre en Israel.
8En escogiendo nuevos dioses, la guerra estaba á las puertas: ¿se veía escudo ó lanza entre cuarenta mil en Israel?
9Mi corazón está por los príncipes de Israel, los que con buena voluntad se ofrecieron entre el pueblo: load á Jehová.
10Vosotros los que cabalgáis en asnas blancas, los que presidís en juicio, y vosotros los que viajáis, hablad.
11Lejos del ruido de los archeros, en los abrevaderos, allí repetirán las justicias de Jehová, las justicias de sus villas en Israel; entonces bajará el pueblo de Jehová á las puertas.
12Despierta, despierta, Débora; despierta, despierta, profiere un cántico. Levántate, Barac, y lleva tus cautivos, hijo de Abinoam.
13Entonces ha hecho que el que quedó del pueblo, señoree á los magníficos: Jehová me hizo enseñorear sobre los fuertes.
14De Ephraim salió su raíz contra Amalec tras ti, Benjamín, contra tus pueblos; de Machîr descendieron príncipes, y de Zabulón los que solían manejar punzón de escribiente.
15Príncipes también de Issachâr fueron con Débora; y como Issachâr, también Barac se puso á pie en el valle. De las divisiones de Rubén hubo grandes impresiones del corazón.
16¿Por qué te quedaste entre las majadas, para oir los balidos de los rebaños? De las divisiones de Rubén grandes fueron las disquisiciones del corazón.
17Galaad se quedó de la otra parte del Jordán: y Dan ¿por qué se estuvo junto á los navíos? Mantúvose Aser á la ribera de la mar, y quedóse en sus puertos.
18El pueblo de Zabulón expuso su vida á la muerte, y Nephtalí en las alturas del campo.
19Vinieron reyes y pelearon: entonces pelearon los reyes de Canaán en Taanac, junto á las aguas de Megiddo, mas no llevaron ganancia alguna de dinero.
20De los cielos pelearon: las estrellas desde sus órbitas pelearon contra Sísara.
21Barriólos el torrente de Cisón, el antiguo torrente, el torrente de Cisón. Hollaste, oh alma mía, con fortaleza.
22Despalmáronse entonces las uñas de los caballos por las arremetidas, por los brincos de sus valientes.
23Maldecid á Meroz, dijo el ángel de Jehová: maldecid severamente á sus moradores, porque no vinieron en socorro á Jehová, en socorro á Jehová contra los fuertes.
24Bendita sea entre las mujeres Jael, mujer de Heber Cineo; sobre las mujeres bendita sea en la tienda.
25El pidió agua, y dióle ella leche; en tazón de nobles le presentó manteca.
26Su mano tendió á la estaca, y su diestra al mazo de trabajadores; y majó á Sísara, hirió su cabeza, llagó y atravesó sus sienes.
27Cayó encorvado entre sus pies, quedó tendido: entre sus pies cayó encorvado; donde se encorvó, allí cayó muerto.
28La madre de Sísara se asoma á la ventana, y por entre las celosías á voces dice: ¿Por qué se detiene su carro, que no viene? ¿por qué las ruedas de sus carros se tardan?
29Las más avisadas de sus damas le respondían; y aun ella se respondía á sí misma.
30¿No han hallado despojos, y los están repartiendo? á cada uno una moza, ó dos: los despojos de colores para Sísara, los despojos bordados de colores: la ropa de color bordada de ambos lados, para los cuellos de los que han tomado los despojos.
31Así perezcan todos tus enemigos, oh Jehová: mas los que le aman, sean como el sol cuando nace en su fuerza. Y la tierra reposó cuarenta años.
King James Version
1Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
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.
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.
5The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.
6In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.
7The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
8They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
10Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
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.
12Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
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.
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.
16Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
17Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
18Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
19The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
20They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
22Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.
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.
24Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
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.
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.
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?
29Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
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?
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.
World English Bible
1Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
2“Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, LORD!
3“Hear, you kings! Give ear, you princes! I, even I, will sing to the LORD. I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.
4“LORD, when you went out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the sky also dropped. Yes, the clouds dropped water.
5The mountains quaked at the LORD’s presence, even Sinai at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel.
6“In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through byways.
7The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother in Israel.
8They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the LORD!
10“Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk by the way.
11Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they will rehearse the LORD’s righteous acts, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. “Then the LORD’s people went down to the gates.
12‘Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.’
13“Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down. The LORD came down for me against the mighty.
14Those whose root is in Amalek came out of Ephraim, after you, Benjamin, among your peoples. Governors come down out of Machir. Those who handle the marshal’s staff came out of Zebulun.
15The princes of Issachar were with Deborah. As was Issachar, so was Barak. They rushed into the valley at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben, there were great resolves of heart.
16Why did you sit among the sheepfolds? To hear the whistling for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben, there were great searchings of heart.
17Gilead lived beyond the Jordan. Why did Dan remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and lived by his creeks.
18Zebulun was a people that jeopardized their lives to the death; Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
19“The kings came and fought, then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no plunder of silver.
20From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
21The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
22Then the horse hoofs stamped because of the prancing, the prancing of their strong ones.
23‘Curse Meroz,’ said the LORD’s angel. ‘Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they didn’t come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty.’
24“Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
26She put her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer. With the hammer she struck Sisera. She struck through his head. Yes, she pierced and struck through his temples.
27At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he bowed, he fell. Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
28“Through the window she looked out, and cried: Sisera’s mother looked through the lattice. ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why do the wheels of his chariots wait?’
29Her wise ladies answered her, Yes, she returned answer to herself,
30‘Have they not found, have they not divided the plunder? A lady, two ladies to every man; to Sisera a plunder of dyed garments, a plunder of dyed garments embroidered, of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the plunder?’
31“So let all your enemies perish, LORD, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.
