【士4:4】 有一位女先知名叫底波拉,是拉比多的妻,当时作以色列的士师。
Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading Israel at that time.
【士4:5】 她住在以法莲山地拉玛和伯特利中间,在底波拉的棕树下。以色列人都上她那里去听判断。
She held court under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites came to her to have their disputes decided.
【士4:6】 她打发人从拿弗他利的基低斯将亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉召了来,对他说,耶和华以色列的神吩咐你说,你率领一万拿弗他利和西布伦人上他泊山去。
She sent for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, 'The LORD , the God of Israel, commands you: 'Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun and lead the way to Mount Tabor.
【士4:7】 我必使耶宾的将军西西拉率领他的车辆和全军往基顺河,到你那里去。我必将他交在你手中。
I will lure Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River and give him into your hands.' '
【士4:8】 巴拉说,你若同我去,我就去。你若不同我去,我就不去。
Barak said to her, 'If you go with me, I will go; but if you don't go with me, I won't go.'
【士4:9】 底波拉说,我必与你同去,只是你在所行的路上得不着荣耀,因为耶和华要将西西拉交在一个妇人手里。于是底波拉起来,与巴拉一同往基低斯去了。
'Very well,' Deborah said, 'I will go with you. But because of the way you are going about this, the honor will not be yours, for the LORD will hand Sisera over to a woman.' So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh,
【士4:10】 巴拉就招聚西布伦人和拿弗他利人到基低斯,跟他上去的有一万人。底波拉也同他上去。
where he summoned Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah also went with him.
【士4:14】 底波拉对巴拉说,你起来,今日就是耶和华将西西拉交在你手的日子。耶和华岂不在你前头行吗?于是巴拉下了他泊山,跟随他有一万人。
Then Deborah said to Barak, 'Go! This is the day the LORD has given Sisera into your hands. Has not the LORD gone ahead of you?' So Barak went down Mount Tabor, followed by ten thousand men.
【士4:15】 耶和华使西西拉和他一切车辆全军溃乱,在巴拉面前被刀杀败。西西拉下车步行逃跑。
At Barak's advance, the LORD routed Sisera and all his chariots and army by the sword, and Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled on foot.
【士4:16】 巴拉追赶车辆,军队,直到外邦人的夏罗设。西西拉的全军都倒在刀下,没有留下一人。
But Barak pursued the chariots and army as far as Harosheth Haggoyim. All the troops of Sisera fell by the sword; not a man was left.
