א
וַיֹּסִפוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, לַעֲשׂוֹת הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהוָה; וְאֵהוּד, מֵת.
|
1
And the children of Yisrael again did that which was evil in the sight of YAHOWAH, when Ehud was dead.
|
|
ב
וַיִּמְכְּרֵם יְהוָה, בְּיַד יָבִין מֶלֶךְ-כְּנַעַן, אֲשֶׁר מָלַךְ, בְּחָצוֹר; וְשַׂר-צְבָאוֹ, סִיסְרָא, וְהוּא יוֹשֵׁב, בַּחֲרֹשֶׁת הַגּוֹיִם.
|
2
And YAHOWAH gave them over into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth-goiim.
|
|
ג
וַיִּצְעֲקוּ בְנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל, אֶל-יְהוָה: כִּי תְּשַׁע מֵאוֹת רֶכֶב-בַּרְזֶל, לוֹ, וְהוּא לָחַץ אֶת-בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּחָזְקָה, עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה. {פ}
|
3
And the children of Yisrael cried unto YAHOWAH; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Yisrael.
{P}
|
|
ד
וּדְבוֹרָה אִשָּׁה נְבִיאָה, אֵשֶׁת לַפִּידוֹת--הִיא שֹׁפְטָה אֶת-יִשְׂרָאֵל, בָּעֵת הַהִיא.
|
4
Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Yisrael at that time.
|
|
ה
וְהִיא יוֹשֶׁבֶת תַּחַת-תֹּמֶר דְּבוֹרָה, בֵּין הָרָמָה וּבֵין בֵּית-אֵל--בְּהַר אֶפְרָיִם; וַיַּעֲלוּ אֵלֶיהָ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל, לַמִּשְׁפָּט.
|
5
And she sat under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the children of Yisrael came up to her for judgment.
|
|
ו
וַתִּשְׁלַח, וַתִּקְרָא לְבָרָק בֶּן-אֲבִינֹעַם, מִקֶּדֶשׁ, נַפְתָּלִי; וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הֲלֹא צִוָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל, לֵךְ וּמָשַׁכְתָּ בְּהַר תָּבוֹר, וְלָקַחְתָּ עִמְּךָ עֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים אִישׁ, מִבְּנֵי נַפְתָּלִי וּמִבְּנֵי זְבֻלוּן.
|
6
And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him: 'Hath not YAHOWAH, the Eloheem of Yisrael, commanded, saying: Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
|
|
ז
וּמָשַׁכְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ אֶל-נַחַל קִישׁוֹן, אֶת-סִיסְרָא שַׂר-צְבָא יָבִין, וְאֶת-רִכְבּוֹ, וְאֶת-הֲמוֹנוֹ; וּנְתַתִּיהוּ, בְּיָדֶךָ.
|
7
And I will draw unto thee to the brook Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thy hand.
|
|
ח
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ בָּרָק, אִם-תֵּלְכִי עִמִּי וְהָלָכְתִּי; וְאִם-לֹא תֵלְכִי עִמִּי, לֹא אֵלֵךְ.
|
8
And Barak said unto her: 'If thou wilt go with me, then I will go; but if thou wilt not go with me, I will not go.'
|
|
ט
וַתֹּאמֶר הָלֹךְ אֵלֵךְ עִמָּךְ, אֶפֶס כִּי לֹא תִהְיֶה תִּפְאַרְתְּךָ עַל-הַדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה הוֹלֵךְ--כִּי בְיַד-אִשָּׁה, יִמְכֹּר יְהוָה אֶת-סִיסְרָא; וַתָּקָם דְּבוֹרָה וַתֵּלֶךְ עִם-בָּרָק, קֶדְשָׁה.
|
9
And she said: 'I will surely go with thee; notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thy honour; for YAHOWAH will give Sisera over into the hand of a woman.' And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
|
|
י
וַיַּזְעֵק בָּרָק אֶת-זְבוּלֻן וְאֶת-נַפְתָּלִי, קֶדְשָׁה, וַיַּעַל בְּרַגְלָיו, עֲשֶׂרֶת אַלְפֵי אִישׁ; וַתַּעַל עִמּוֹ, דְּבוֹרָה.
|
10
And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up ten thousand men at his feet; and Deborah went up with him.
|
|
יא
וְחֶבֶר הַקֵּינִי נִפְרָד מִקַּיִן, מִבְּנֵי חֹבָב חֹתֵן מֹשֶׁה; וַיֵּט אָהֳלוֹ, עַד-אֵילוֹן בצענים (בְּצַעֲנַנִּים) אֲשֶׁר אֶת-קֶדֶשׁ.
|
11
Now Heber the Kenite had severed himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as Elon-bezaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
|
|
יב
וַיַּגִּדוּ, לְסִיסְרָא: כִּי עָלָה בָּרָק בֶּן-אֲבִינֹעַם, הַר-תָּבוֹר.
|
12
And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
|
|
יג
וַיַּזְעֵק סִיסְרָא אֶת-כָּל-רִכְבּוֹ, תְּשַׁע מֵאוֹת רֶכֶב בַּרְזֶל, וְאֶת-כָּל-הָעָם, אֲשֶׁר אִתּוֹ--מֵחֲרֹשֶׁת הַגּוֹיִם, אֶל-נַחַל קִישׁוֹן.
|
13
And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth-goiim, unto the brook Kishon.
|
|
יד
וַתֹּאמֶר דְּבֹרָה אֶל-בָּרָק קוּם, כִּי זֶה הַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר נָתַן יְהוָה אֶת-סִיסְרָא בְּיָדֶךָ--הֲלֹא יְהוָה, יָצָא לְפָנֶיךָ; וַיֵּרֶד בָּרָק מֵהַר תָּבוֹר, וַעֲשֶׂרֶת אֲלָפִים אִישׁ אַחֲרָיו.
|
14
And Deborah said unto Barak: 'Up; for this is the day in which YAHOWAH hath delivered Sisera into thy hand; is not YAHOWAH gone out before thee?' So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
|
|
טו
וַיָּהָם יְהוָה אֶת-סִיסְרָא וְאֶת-כָּל-הָרֶכֶב וְאֶת-כָּל-הַמַּחֲנֶה, לְפִי-חֶרֶב--לִפְנֵי בָרָק; וַיֵּרֶד סִיסְרָא מֵעַל הַמֶּרְכָּבָה, וַיָּנָס בְּרַגְלָיו.
|
15
And YAHOWAH discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
|
|
טז
וּבָרָק, רָדַף אַחֲרֵי הָרֶכֶב וְאַחֲרֵי הַמַּחֲנֶה, עַד, חֲרֹשֶׁת הַגּוֹיִם; וַיִּפֹּל כָּל-מַחֲנֵה סִיסְרָא, לְפִי-חֶרֶב--לֹא נִשְׁאַר, עַד-אֶחָד.
|
16
But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth-goiim; and all the host of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not a man left.
|
|
יז
וְסִיסְרָא, נָס בְּרַגְלָיו, אֶל-אֹהֶל יָעֵל, אֵשֶׁת חֶבֶר הַקֵּינִי: כִּי שָׁלוֹם, בֵּין יָבִין מֶלֶךְ-חָצוֹר, וּבֵין, בֵּית חֶבֶר הַקֵּינִי.
|
17
Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
|
|
יח
וַתֵּצֵא יָעֵל, לִקְרַאת סִיסְרָא, וַתֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו סוּרָה אֲדֹנִי סוּרָה אֵלַי, אַל-תִּירָא; וַיָּסַר אֵלֶיהָ הָאֹהֱלָה, וַתְּכַסֵּהוּ בַּשְּׂמִיכָה.
|
18
And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him: 'Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not.' And he turned in unto her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
|
|
יט
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ הַשְׁקִינִי-נָא מְעַט-מַיִם, כִּי צָמֵאתִי; וַתִּפְתַּח אֶת-נֹאוד הֶחָלָב, וַתַּשְׁקֵהוּ--וַתְּכַסֵּהוּ.
|
19
And he said unto her: 'Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty.' And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
|
|
כ
וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ, עֲמֹד פֶּתַח הָאֹהֶל; וְהָיָה אִם-אִישׁ יָבֹא וּשְׁאֵלֵךְ, וְאָמַר הֲיֵשׁ-פֹּה אִישׁ--וְאָמַרְתְּ אָיִן.
|
20
And he said unto her: 'Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say: Is there any man here? that thou shalt say: No.'
|
|
כא
וַתִּקַּח יָעֵל אֵשֶׁת-חֶבֶר אֶת-יְתַד הָאֹהֶל וַתָּשֶׂם אֶת-הַמַּקֶּבֶת בְּיָדָהּ, וַתָּבוֹא אֵלָיו בַּלָּאט, וַתִּתְקַע אֶת-הַיָּתֵד בְּרַקָּתוֹ, וַתִּצְנַח בָּאָרֶץ; וְהוּא-נִרְדָּם וַיָּעַף, וַיָּמֹת.
|
21
Then Jael Heber's wife took a tent-pin, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he swooned and died.
|
|
כב
וְהִנֵּה בָרָק, רֹדֵף אֶת-סִיסְרָא, וַתֵּצֵא יָעֵל לִקְרָאתוֹ, וַתֹּאמֶר לוֹ לֵךְ וְאַרְאֶךָּ אֶת-הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר-אַתָּה מְבַקֵּשׁ; וַיָּבֹא אֵלֶיהָ--וְהִנֵּה סִיסְרָא נֹפֵל מֵת, וְהַיָּתֵד בְּרַקָּתוֹ.
|
22
And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him: 'Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest.' And he came unto her; and, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent-pin was in his temples.
|
|
כג
וַיַּכְנַע אֱלֹהִים בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא, אֵת יָבִין מֶלֶךְ-כְּנָעַן, לִפְנֵי, בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל.
|
23
So Eloheem subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Yisrael.
|
|
כד
וַתֵּלֶךְ יַד בְּנֵי-יִשְׂרָאֵל, הָלוֹךְ וְקָשָׁה, עַל, יָבִין מֶלֶךְ-כְּנָעַן--עַד אֲשֶׁר הִכְרִיתוּ, אֵת יָבִין מֶלֶךְ-כְּנָעַן. {ש}
|
24
And the hand of the children of Yisrael prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
{P}
