士师记第5章

《圣经》士师记-第5章

士5:1 那时，底波拉和亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉作歌，说： (串)出15:1

†[吕]那时，底波拉和亚比挪菴的儿子巴拉作歌，说：

†[思]那一天德波辣和阿彼诺罕的儿子巴辣客作歌说：

†[当代]那一天，底波拉和巴拉高歌庆祝他们的胜利说：

†[新译]那一天，底波拉和亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉唱起歌来说：

†[Wlb]是日底波拉与亚比挪庵子巴拉歌曰、

†[Xdv]那一天，底波拉和亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉唱了这首歌：

†[Kjv]Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,

†[Nkjv]Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying:

†[BBE]At that time Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, made this song, saying:

†[GNT] On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:

†[NIV]On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:

本会注释　　许多民族都非常喜欢用战歌来欢庆国家的胜利。许多国家的国歌都能说明第五章诗歌的类型。在教科书稀少或不存在的日子里，这首歌无疑是保存以色列人战胜耶宾之故事的最有效手段。它是有史以来最伟大的军事诗篇之一。
　　文中说底波拉和巴拉作歌，有人认为这首诗歌是底波拉原创的二重唱，底波拉先唱，巴拉回应。但不知道事实究竟是不是这样。
　　这首歌是整部圣经中最难翻译的段落之一。它含有许多后来已不用的希伯来词汇，因此，这些词汇的意思难以确定。这首歌可能未加改动的由原作传下来，经历了很长时间后，在《士师记》写作时编入其中。就象今天的情况一样，古时的语言经历了变化，在几个世纪的过程中，需多词汇已不通用了。
　　诗歌的开始是为胜利而颂赞上帝（2-5节），接着是描述争战前的情况（6-8节）。诗歌充分地赞美参加起义的支派，同时斥责那些未能在危机时响应的支派（14-17节）。然后描述争战的场景（18-22节），西西拉死在雅亿手中（24-27节），西西拉的母亲焦急地等待他从战场回来（28-31节）。

士5:2 因为以色列中有军长率领，百姓也甘心牺牲自己，你们应当颂赞耶和华！ (串)本章9代下17:16

†[吕]因为以色列中有军长率领，人民也甘心牺牲自己，你们应当颂赞永恒主！

†[思]“为了以色列中间有指挥的元帅，为了百姓自愿从军，你们应祝颂上主！

†[当代]“赞美主！以色列的领袖身先士卒，民众就甘心跟从；你们要称颂主！

†[新译]“你们要称颂耶和华，因为以色列中有勇士，因为有人民自愿从军。

†[Wlb]以色列之军长率其军旅、民亦乐从、当颂美耶和华、

†[Xdv]赞美上主！以色列人决心作战；人民自愿从军。

†[Kjv]Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.

†[Nkjv]"When leaders lead in Israel, When the people willingly offer themselves, Bless the LORD!

†[BBE]Because of the flowing hair of the fighters in Israel, because the people gave themselves freely, give praise to the Lord.

†[GNT] Praise the Lord! The Israelites were determined to fight; the people gladly volunteered.

†[NIV]When the princes in Israel take the lead, when the people willingly offer themselves-praise the LORD !

本会注释　　军长率领。希伯来词peroa` 和pera`oth。这两个词的词根都是para。

士5:3 君王啊，要听！王子啊，要侧耳而听！我要向耶和华歌唱；我要歌颂耶和华以色列的上帝。

†[吕]君王啊，要听！王子啊，要侧耳而听！我要向永恒主歌唱；我要歌颂永恒主以色列的上帝。

†[思]诸民，请听！君王,请听！诸侯，侧耳！对上主我要歌唱，要赞颂上主以色列的天主！

†[当代]君王官长啊，请留心细听，因为我要歌颂主、以色列的上帝。

†[新译]君王啊，你们要听；官长啊，你们要侧耳倾听；至于我，我要向耶和华歌唱；我要歌颂耶和华以色列的　神。

†[Wlb]列王欤、尔其俯闻、诸伯欤、尔其倾听、我必歌颂耶和华、赞扬以色列之上帝耶和华、

†[Xdv]君王啊，你们要听！首领啊，侧耳聆听！我要弹琴唱歌，歌颂上主──以色列的上帝。

†[Kjv]Hear, 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.

†[Nkjv]"Hear, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I, even I, will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.

†[BBE]Give attention, O kings; give ear, O rulers; I, even I, will make a song to the Lord; I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel.

†[GNT] Listen, you kings! Pay attention, you rulers! I will sing and play music to Israel's God, the Lord.

†[NIV]Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers! I will sing to the LORD , I will sing; I will make music to the LORD , the God of Israel.

本会注释　　君王啊，要听！王子啊，要侧耳而听！这一节显然是希伯来诗歌典型的平行句，分为两个部分，每一部分两次表述同样的概念，只是用词稍有不同。希伯来语的“歌唱”和“歌颂”是两个不同的词。后者表示弦乐伴奏的歌唱。

士5:4 耶和华啊，你从西珥出来，由以东地行走。那时地震天漏，云也落雨。 (串)申33:2|撒下22:8诗18:7;68:8;77:18鸿1:5

†[吕]永恒主啊，你从西珥出来，由以东地行走。那时地震天漏，云也落雨。

†[思]上主，当你由色依尔出征时，当你由厄东地前进时，天摇地动，密云滴雨。

†[当代]当你从西珥领我们出来，走过以东田野的时候，大地震动，天降豪雨；

†[新译]耶和华啊，你从西珥出发的时候，你从以东地行走的日子，地震天漏，密云也滴下雨。

†[Wlb]耶和华欤、尔出自西珥境、行由以东田、斯时也、地震天漏、云密雨零、

†[Xdv]上主啊！你一离开西珥山，你一从以东出发，大地震撼，天空下雨，云层倾倒雨水。

†[Kjv]LORD, 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.

†[Nkjv]"LORD, when You went out from Seir, When You marched from the field of Edom, The earth trembled and the heavens poured, The clouds also poured water;

†[BBE]Lord, when you went out from Seir, moving like an army from the field of Edom, the earth was shaking and the heavens were troubled, and the clouds were dropping water.

†[GNT] Lord, when you left the mountains of Seir, when you came out of the region of Edom, the earth shook, and rain fell from the sky. Yes, water poured down from the clouds.

†[NIV]O LORD , when you went out from Seir, when you marched from the land of Edom, the earth shook, the heavens poured, the clouds poured down water.

本会注释　　西珥。从盐海东面向南延伸至红海的多山地区。提到西珥山似乎是为了表明在以色列人去迦南的行程中，上帝与他们同在。上帝以神奇的方式与他们同在。比如衪用超自然的方式供应食物和水；基督藉着火柱和云柱与他们同在。古时这样奇妙工作的上帝，再次神奇地为衪的子民工作和施行干预。这次衪创建伟业的地点不是西珥，而是他泊山。

士5:5 山见耶和华的面就震动，西乃山见耶和华以色列上帝的面也是如此。 (串)赛64:1,3弥1:4哈3:6,10|出19:18

†[吕]山见永恒主的面就震动，西奈山见永恒主以色列上帝的面也是如此。

†[思]山岳摇摇欲坠，在上主前，在上主以色列的天主前。

†[当代]在以色列上帝的面前，就是西奈山也要震动，

†[新译]群山在耶和华面前震动；这西奈山在耶和华以色列的　神面前也是这样。

†[Wlb]于耶和华前、山岳震撼、于以色列之上帝耶和华前、西乃动摇、

†[Xdv]在西奈的上主──以色列的上帝面前，群山都震撼摇动。

†[Kjv]The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.

†[Nkjv]The mountains gushed before the LORD, This Sinai, before the LORD God of Israel.

†[BBE]The mountains were shaking before the Lord, before the Lord, the God of Israel.

†[GNT] The mountains quaked before the Lord of Sinai, before the Lord, the God of Israel.

†[NIV]The mountains quaked before the LORD , the One of Sinai, before the LORD , the God of Israel.

本会注释　　震动。指颁布律法时西奈山的震动。记念这个神奇的事件也是要说明上帝的大能。

士5:6 在亚拿之子珊迦的时候，又在雅亿的日子，大道无人行走，都是绕道而行。 (串)士3:31|士4:17|利26:22赛33:8哀1:4

†[吕]在亚拿之子珊迦的时候，又在雅亿的日子，大道无人行走，都是绕道而行。

†[思]阿纳特之子沙默加尔年间，在为奴的当时，商队敛迹，行人转向弯曲的陌径。

†[当代]在珊迦和雅亿的时代，大路行人绝迹，旅客绕道而行。

†[新译]在亚拿的儿子珊迦的时候，在雅亿的日子，大道无人行走，行路的人绕道而行。

†[Wlb]当亚拿子珊迦之时、雅亿在世之日、通衢寂寞、行人曲径是由、

†[Xdv]在亚拿之子珊迦的时代，在雅亿的日子，商队不再经过这里，旅客都绕道而行。

†[Kjv]In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

†[Nkjv]"In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, In the days of Jael, The highways were deserted, And the travelers walked along the byways.

†[BBE]In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were not used, and travellers went by side roads.

†[GNT] In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, caravans no longer went through the land, and travelers used the back roads.

†[NIV]In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the roads were abandoned; travelers took to winding paths.

本会注释　　珊迦的时候。见@士3:31@注释。
　　大道无人行走。本节和后面两节描述了在迦南人统治下的可悲状况。战争破坏了通行和商业，大道荒废，人们不得不走乡村人迹罕至的小道，通行的中断是因迦南守军沿着主要道路驻守战略要地。迦南人能够从这些要地阻挡希伯来人的行动，防止他们的游击战，同时也使商贸活动中断。

士5:7 以色列中的官长停职，直到我底波拉兴起，等我兴起作以色列的母。

†[吕]以色列中的官长停职，直到我底波拉兴起，等我兴起作以色列的母。

†[思]威力在以色列消逝了，消逝了！直到我德波辣崛起，直到以色列的母亲兴起。

†[当代]我底波拉作以色列之母以前，以色列的人丁单薄，

†[新译]以色列中的农村消失了，消失了，直到我底波拉兴起，直到我以色列的母亲兴起。

†[Wlb]以色列中乡里无人、迨我底波拉起、而为以色列母、

†[Xdv]底波拉啊，以色列的城镇被摒弃，空无一人，直到你来；你来作以色列的母亲。

†[Kjv]The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.

†[Nkjv]Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel, Until I, Deborah, arose, Arose a mother in Israel.

†[BBE]Country towns were no more in Israel, *** were no more, till you, Deborah, came up, till you came up as a mother in Israel.

†[GNT] The towns of Israel stood abandoned, Deborah; they stood empty until you came, came like a mother for Israel.

†[NIV]Village life in Israel ceased, ceased until I, Deborah, arose, arose a mother in Israel.

本会注释　　官长停职。有文本为“村庄消失”，意思是居住在无围墙的村落的人离弃居所，住到有城墙的城邑里，以避免被迦南人或乱世当中兴起的强盗肆意抢掠。

士5:8 以色列人选择新神，争战的事就临到城门。那时，以色列四万人中岂能见盾牌枪矛呢？ (串)申32:16士2:17|撒上13:19,22

†[吕]以色列人选择新神，交战的事就临到城门。那时，以色列四万人中岂能见盾牌枪矛呢？

†[思]以色列选择了新神，战争即临门下。四万以色列人中，不见一面盾牌，一支长矛。

†[当代]以色列人一旦选择新神，战祸就接踵而来；四万以色列人中，也找不着一枪一盾。

†[新译]以色列人选择了新的神，战争就临近城门；那时四万以色列人中，竟不见有一面盾牌、一枝长矛。

†[Wlb]民简新神、战及邑门、以色列族四万人中、干戈无存、

†[Xdv]以色列换了神明，境内就起战争。四万以色列军队中，连一个武装齐备的都没有。

†[Kjv]They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?

†[Nkjv]They chose new gods; Then there was war in the gates; Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.

†[BBE]They had no one to make arms, there were no more armed men in the towns; was there a body-cover or a spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?

†[GNT] Then there was war in the land when the Israelites chose new gods. Of the forty thousand men in Israel, did anyone carry shield or spear?

†[NIV]When they chose new gods, war came to the city gates, and not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.

本会注释　　选择新神。这句话似乎解释了以色列人沦落到这种状况的原因。
　　战争的事就临到。希伯来人得不到和平。迦南人开始进攻以色列人的城邑，包围他们。迦南人显然如同后来的非利士人，禁止在希伯来人中金属和所有军事装备的买卖，以至于在以色列四万人中几乎没有盾牌和枪矛。这个策略有效地根除了希伯来人反击的危险。

士5:9 我心倾向以色列的首领，他们在民中甘心牺牲自己。你们应当颂赞耶和华！ (串)本章2

†[吕]我心倾向以色列的首领，他们在民中甘心牺牲自己。你们应当颂赞永恒主！

†[思]我的心灵向往以色列的首领，向往百姓中自愿从军者。请你们祝颂上主！

†[当代]看见以色列的领袖甘愿献身报国，我心中多么喜乐！你们要赞美主！

†[新译]我的心倾向以色列的官长，他们在民中甘愿牺牲自己；你们要称颂耶和华。

†[Wlb]以色列之渠魁、在民中乐意出战者、我心爱之、尔其颂美耶和华、

†[Xdv]我的心向着以色列的指挥官，支持着以色列的志愿军。赞美上主！

†[Kjv]My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.

†[Nkjv]My heart is with the rulers of Israel Who offered themselves willingly with the people. Bless the LORD!

†[BBE]Come, you rulers of Israel, you who gave yourselves freely among the people: give praise to the Lord.

†[GNT] My heart is with the commanders of Israel, with the people who gladly volunteered. Praise the Lord!

†[NIV]My heart is with Israel's princes, with the willing volunteers among the people. Praise the LORD !

本会注释　　首领。诗歌在描述了以色列人的困境之后,9节到11节转而要求各类希伯来人感谢那些帮助结束迦南人统治的人。首先是以色列的“首领”，直译是“立法者”或“执法者”。他们是像巴拉那样为以色列的胜利冒生命危险的人。他们是管理以色列的人，其职责是维护律法和国家秩序，在此时表现出他们值得信赖。底波拉能很好地呼召百姓为这些人打败迦南的敌人而感谢上帝。
　　在今天的教会中有许多忠心的领袖，无论平信徒还是教牧人员，他们为了教会的福利，把人生最好的年华完全奉献出来，这样的人应当得到教会和社会的感激。我们应为他们和他们的辛勤劳动而称颂上帝，就如底波拉为赞扬那些怀着热情帮助发动起义反抗迦南人的领袖们所做的那样。

士5:10 骑白驴的、坐绣花毯子的、行路的，你们都当传扬！ (串)士10:4;12:14亚9:9

†[吕]骑白驴的、坐绣花毯子的、行路的，你们都当传扬！

†[思]骑白驴的，坐华毡的，和过路行人，你们都要歌唱，

†[当代]愿以色列全民，不论贫富，都来赞美祂；无论是骑白驴的、坐绣花毯子的，或是徒步的，都要赞美祂。

†[新译]骑白驴的，坐锦垫的，和路上的行人，你们都要歌唱。

†[Wlb]凡尔乘白驴、坐缋罽、及游行通衢者、咸宜宣扬、

†[Xdv]你们骑白驴的、坐在马鞍上的、步行的都要传扬。

†[Kjv]Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.

†[Nkjv]"Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, Who sit in judges' attire, And who walk along the road.

†[BBE]Let them give thought to it, who go on white asses, and those who are walking on the road.

†[GNT] Tell of it, you that ride on white donkeys, sitting on saddles, and you that must walk wherever you go.

†[NIV]You who ride on white donkeys, sitting on your saddle blankets, and you who walk along the road, consider

本会注释　　骑白驴的。有坐骑的人是指富裕并有势力的人，只有这个阶层的的人才有条件选择坐骑。换一句话说，就是让坐绣花毯子的富人（这是“坐着审判的”另一种译法），以及那些现在能在人迹罕至的大道上行走的人，思考和述说上帝为衪的子民在这难忘的时刻带来的奇妙胜利。

士5:11 在远离弓箭响声打水之处，人必述说耶和华公义的作为，就是他治理以色列公义的作为。那时耶和华的民下到城门。

†[吕]在远离弓箭响声打水之处，人必述说永恒主公义的作为，就是他治理以色列公义的作为。那时永恒主的民下到城门。

†[思]加入水泉间缭绕的歌声！那正在歌颂上主的胜利，歌颂他统治以色列的胜利。上主的百姓，速下到城门口！

†[当代]乡村的乐手齐集井旁，歌颂主的胜利！颂扬祂对以色列人的拯救。主的子民都下到城门口。

†[新译]在打水的地方分开羊群的人发声，在那里人必歌颂耶和华公义的作为，就是他在以色列中的农村所行公义的作为；那时，耶和华的子民下到城门口。

†[Wlb]在汲水之所、远射者之嚣、人必称述耶和华之义事、即治以色列之义事、其时耶和华民复至邑门、

†[Xdv]听啊，在井旁打水的妇女传出欢呼！她们在述说上主的胜利；她们在庆祝以色列的凯旋。上主的子民走向城门欢呼：

†[Kjv]They 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

†[Nkjv]Far from the noise of the archers, among the watering places, There they shall recount the righteous acts of the LORD, The righteous acts for His villagers in Israel; Then the people of the LORD shall go down to the gates.

†[BBE]Give ear to the women laughing by the water-springs; there they will give again the story of the upright acts of the Lord, all the upright acts of his arm in Israel.

†[GNT] Listen! The noisy crowds around the wells are telling of the Lord's victories, the victories of Israel's people! Then the Lord's people marched down from their cities.

†[NIV]the voice of the singers at the watering places. They recite the righteous acts of the LORD, the righteous acts of his warriors in Israel. "Then the people of the LORD went down to the city gates.

本会注释　　述说。此时生活在和平条件下的人，在他们安逸的环境中停止述说上帝的救恩，不再为上帝帮助他们打败敌人，重建和平而感恩。百姓此时毫无惧怕，追逐每天的享乐。可是他们应该记住，平静的生活是由于上帝的公义的作为。衪的能力帮助勇敢的以色列领袖摆脱了迦南人的奴役和压迫。

士5:12 底波拉啊，兴起！兴起！你当兴起，兴起，唱歌。亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉啊，你当奋兴，掳掠你的敌人。 (串)诗57:8,9|诗68:18弗4:8

†[吕]底波拉啊，兴起！兴起！你当兴起，兴起，唱歌。亚比挪菴的儿子巴拉啊，你当奋兴，掳掠你的敌人。

†[思]奋发呀！奋发，德波辣！奋发呀！奋发，请歌唱！奋勇，起来，巴辣克！阿彼诺罕的儿子！擒住你的俘虏！

†[当代]底波拉啊，起来歌唱吧！亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉啊，发奋吧！掳走你的战俘吧！

†[新译]兴起，兴起，底波拉！兴起，兴起，唱歌吧！兴起，巴拉！亚比挪庵的儿子，掳掠你的俘虏吧！

†[Wlb]寤哉寤哉、底波拉欤、寤哉寤哉、尔其讴歌、巴拉欤、尔其兴起、亚比挪庵之子欤、引去所虏之人、

†[Xdv]底波拉啊，兴起！奋发！唱歌，勇往直前！亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉啊，奋起！带走你的俘虏！

†[Kjv]Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.

†[Nkjv]"Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, Barak, and lead your captives away, O son of Abinoam!

†[BBE]Awake! awake! Deborah: awake! awake! give a song: Up! Barak, and take prisoner those who took you prisoner, O son of Abinoam.

†[GNT] Lead on, Deborah, lead on! Lead on! Sing a song! Lead on! Forward, Barak son of Abinoam, lead your captives away!

†[NIV]Wake up, wake up, Deborah! Wake up, wake up, break out in song! Arise, O Barak! Take captive your captives, O son of Abinoam.'

本会注释　　兴起。诗歌的这个呼唤，既是唤醒底波拉自己，也是鼓动以色列各支派。
　　唱歌。不是胜利的赞歌，而是激励各支派投入战斗的战歌。
　　巴拉啊，你当奋兴。巴拉作为希伯来人公认的军事领袖，受到催促着发起战斗将掳掠者俘获。

士5:13 那时有余剩的贵胄和百姓一同下来；耶和华降临，为我攻击勇士。

†[吕]那时有余剩的贵胄和人民一同下来；永恒主降临，为我攻击勇士。

†[思]英雄的后裔，请出征！上主的百姓，请随勇士为我出征！

†[当代]残存的贵胄走下来，主的民众冲下来力拒顽敌；他们来自以法莲和便雅悯、玛吉和西布伦。

†[新译]那时余剩的贵胄下来；耶和华带着勇士下到我这里来。

†[Wlb]维时、所遗贵胄庶民、下攻强敌、耶和华莅临、为我下击勇士、

†[Xdv]忠信的人走向他们的首领；上主的子民到他（希伯来文是：我）面前准备作战。

†[Kjv]Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.

†[Nkjv]"Then the survivors came down, the people against the nobles; The LORD came down for me against the mighty.

†[BBE]Then the chiefs went down to the doors; the Lord's people went down among the strong ones.

†[GNT] Then the faithful ones came down to their leaders; the Lord's people came to him ready to fight.

†[NIV]Then the men who were left came down to the nobles; the people of the LORD came to me with the mighty.

士5:14 有根本在亚玛力人的地，从以法莲下来的；便雅悯在民中跟随你。有掌权的从玛吉下来；有持杖检点民数的从西布伦下来； (串)士12:15|民32:39,40

†[吕]有根本在亚玛力人的地，从以法莲下来的；便雅悯在民中跟随你。有掌权的从玛吉下来；有持杖检点民数的从西布伦下来；

†[思]厄弗辣因盘据在山谷中，本雅明随你加入了行列；领袖由玛基尔进军，手执权杖的由则步隆出发。

†[当代]－

†[新译]他们出自以法莲，他们的根在亚玛力人之地；有便雅悯在你的族人中跟随你，有官长从玛吉下来；有持着数点民数之权杖的，从西布伦出来。

†[Wlb]自以法莲来者、其原在亚玛力、相随便雅悯、杂于尔民中、渠魁由玛吉而至、执元戎之杖者、由西布伦而来、

†[Xdv]他们从以法莲来（希伯来文是：他们的根），进入山谷（希伯来文是：亚玛力），跟在便雅悯支族的人后面。有指挥官从玛吉出来；有军官从西布伦下来。

†[Kjv]Out 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.

†[Nkjv]From Ephraim were those whose roots were in Amalek. After you, Benjamin, with your peoples, From Machir rulers came down, And from Zebulun those who bear the recruiter's staff.

†[BBE]Out of Ephraim they came down into the valley; after you, Benjamin, among your tribesmen; from Machir came down the captains, and from Zebulun those in whose hand is the ruler's rod.

†[GNT] They came from Ephraim into the valley, behind the tribe of Benjamin and its people. The commanders came down from Machir, the officers down from Zebulun.

†[NIV]Some came from Ephraim, whose roots were in Amalek; Benjamin was with the people who followed you. From Makir captains came down, from Zebulun those who bear a commander's staff.

本会注释　　以法莲。以前只有拿弗他利和西布伦支派集结跟从巴拉（士4:10）。这里表明有来自中部山区以法莲人，也有来自遥远南方的便雅悯人。
　　玛吉。玛拿西的儿子，是该支派主要家庭的首领（创50:23），他们家在约旦河东岸的基列山接受了产业。然而，此处用玛吉的名字被认为是在诗歌中代表整个玛拿西支派（也见民32:40；申3:15）。
　　持杖检点民数的。被认为指官员的权杖，其职责是召集军队，清点各地上报的人数。

士5:15 以萨迦的首领与底波拉同来；以萨迦怎样，巴拉也怎样。众人都跟随巴拉冲下平原；在流便的溪水旁有心中定大志的。 (串)士4:6,14

†[吕]以萨迦的首领和底波拉同来；以萨迦怎样，巴拉也怎样。众人都跟随巴拉冲下平原；在吕便的溪水旁有心中定大志的。

†[思]依撒加尔的首领与德波辣和巴辣克相偕；巴辣克在山谷中率领自己的步兵袭敌。勒乌本境内，大有运筹帷幄之士！

†[当代]以萨迦的领袖底波拉和巴拉一同冲进山谷，吕便族却没有参战。

†[新译]以萨迦的领袖与底波拉在一起；以萨迦怎样，巴拉也怎样；他们都步行下到山谷去。在流本的众溪旁，有心怀大志的。

†[Wlb]以萨迦之牧伯、与底波拉相偕、以萨迦族与巴拉同意、随之疾趋入谷、维彼流便、在其溪滨、大定厥志、

†[Xdv]以萨迦的首领跟底波拉同来；以萨迦来，巴拉也来；他们都跟着他进入山谷。但流便支族意见分歧；他们犹豫不定。

†[Kjv]And 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.

†[Nkjv]And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; As Issachar, so was Barak Sent into the valley under his command; Among the divisions of Reuben There were great resolves of heart.

†[BBE]Your chiefs, Issachar, were with Deborah; and Naphtali was true to Barak; into the valley they went rushing out at his feet. In Reuben there were divisions, and great searchings of heart.

†[GNT] The leaders of Issachar came with Deborah; yes, Issachar came and Barak too, and they followed him into the valley. But the tribe of Reuben was divided; they could not decide to come.

†[NIV]The princes of Issachar were with Deborah; yes, Issachar was with Barak, rushing after him into the valley. In the districts of Reuben there was much searching of heart.

本会注释　　以萨迦。这是另外一个参与的支派。当底波拉和巴拉发出战斗的号召时，并不是所有的支派都集结响应，一些支派当即回绝参战，其他的犹豫不决，优柔寡断直至战斗结束。
　　定大志的。当参战的号召到达约旦河对岸不远处流便各部族时，可能会发生什么呢？是急切地讨论和谋划该如何应对。各部族都在打探其他部族，看他们是否愿意让全支派投入战斗。他们在羊圈栅栏旁围坐不停的讨论，花很长时间思考行动的必要性和可行性。但依然犹豫不决，不能定夺，并且一直讨论到胜利的消息传到他们那里。

士5:16 你为何坐在羊圈内听群中吹笛的声音呢？在流便的溪水旁有心中设大谋的。 (串)创49:14诗68:13

†[吕]你为何坐在羊圈内听群中吹笛的声音呢？在吕便的溪水旁有心中设大谋的。

†[思]为什么你坐在羊圈内，静听牧童的笛声？勒乌本境内，都是犹豫满怀的人。

†[当代]你为什么坐在羊圈里优悠地吹奏牧笛呢？你为什么举棋不定呢？

†[新译]你为什么坐在羊圈之中，听呼唤群畜的笛声呢？在流本的众溪旁，有心怀大志的。

†[Wlb]尔何坐于牢中、听牧者之笛乎、流便在其溪滨、深自揣度、

†[Xdv]他们为什么逗留在羊群后面？要听牧人呼唤群羊吗？是的，流便支族意见分歧；他们犹豫不定。

†[Kjv]Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

†[Nkjv]Why did you sit among the sheepfolds, To hear the pipings for the flocks? The divisions of Reuben have great searchings of heart.

†[BBE]Why did you keep quiet among the sheep, hearing nothing but the watchers piping to the flocks?

†[GNT] Why did they stay behind with the sheep? To listen to shepherds calling the flocks? Yes, the tribe of Reuben was divided; they could not decide to come.

†[NIV]Why did you stay among the campfires to hear the whistling for the flocks? In the districts of Reuben there was much searching of heart.

士5:17 基列人安居在约但河外。但人为何等在船上？亚设人在海口静坐，在港口安居。 (串)书13:25|书19:31|创49:13

†[吕]基列人安居在约但河外。但人为何等在船上？亚设人在海口静坐，在港口安居。

†[思]基肋阿得在约但河东安居；丹人为什么寄居船上？阿协尔在海岸静坐，在港口悠；

†[当代]基列人为什么还留在约旦河的对岸？但人为什么在船上枯候呢？亚设人为什么仍在岸上静坐、在港口安居呢？

†[新译]基列人在约旦河东边居住；但人为什么居留在船上呢？亚设人在海岸坐着，在港湾居住。

†[Wlb]基列安居约但东、但何待于舟、亚设坐于海滨、仍处其澳、

†[Xdv]迦得支族住在约旦河东岸；但支族留在船上。亚设支族住在海岸；他们在岸边逗留。

†[Kjv]Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

†[Nkjv]Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan, And why did Dan remain on ships? Asher continued at the seashore, And stayed by his inlets.

†[BBE]Gilead was living over Jordan; and Dan was waiting in his ships; Asher kept in his place by the sea's edge, living by his inlets.

†[GNT] The tribe of Gad stayed east of the Jordan, and the tribe of Dan remained by the ships. The tribe of Asher stayed by the seacoast; they remained along the shore.

†[NIV]Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan. And Dan, why did he linger by the ships? Asher remained on the coast and stayed in his coves.

本会注释　　基列人。约旦河对岸，加利利海东面和南部的乡村地区，这里似乎把他们说成是一个支派。作者显然用“基列”代表居住在这个地区的迦得支派。
　　等在船上。《士师记》18章所记载但人迁移到北方，显然发生在底波拉时期以前。这句话暗示但人与航海的腓尼基人有一定程度的融合，或至少与他们一定程度的联合，所以但人对他们的以色列兄弟重获独立的努力失去了兴趣。
　　亚设人。亚设人显然也经历了与迦南人以及推罗和西顿航海的腓尼基人的融合，所以不愿参加希伯来人的起义。与世界联合，追求它的精神和目标，使许多基督徒不愿意参加与黑暗之军的战斗。当他们的弟兄在基督徒的传道工作中积极努力时，他们却无动于衷，袖手旁观。
　　在港口。直译是“在他登陆的地方”，被解释为描写码头的外观或“它们之间缺口”。

士5:18 西布伦人是拚命敢死的；拿弗他利人在田野的高处也是如此。 (串)士4:10

†[吕]西布伦人是拚命敢死的；拿弗他利人在田野的低处也是如此。

†[思]则步隆是好冒死舍命的子民，纳斐塔里在高原上奋不顾身。

†[当代]但西布伦人和拿弗他利人在战场上却是拼死的。

†[新译]西布伦人是敢死的民族；拿弗他利人在田野的高处，奋不顾身。

†[Wlb]西布伦冒死不顾、拿弗他利在田野之高处亦然、

†[Xdv]但西布伦人敢冒死舍命；拿弗他利人在沙场上拚死奋斗。

†[Kjv]Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.

†[Nkjv]Zebulun is a people who jeopardized their lives to the point of death, Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.

†[BBE]It was the people of Zebulun who put their lives in danger, even to death, with Naphtali on the high places of the field.

†[GNT] But the people of Zebulun and Naphtali risked their lives on the battlefield.

†[NIV]The people of Zebulun risked their very lives; so did Naphtali on the heights of the field.

本会注释　　高处。可能指稍高之处或小山丘，西西拉的军队在此努力重组，守卫他的防线。据士4:10，西布伦和拿弗他利支派组成了以色列的主力，显然袭击了这个抵抗的中心，将西西拉强大的军队彻底击溃。

士5:19 君王都来争战。那时迦南诸王在米吉多水旁的他纳争战，却未得掳掠银钱。 (串)王下9:27;23:29,30代下35:22|书17:11士1:27王上4:12

†[吕]君王都来交战。那时迦南诸王在米吉多水旁的他纳交战，却未得掳掠银钱。

†[思]君王齐来战斗，客纳罕众王鏖战，在默基多水傍──塔纳客，未曾掠去一个银钱。

†[当代]迦南诸王来到米吉多水旁的他纳交战，却未能得胜。

†[新译]众王都来争战；那时迦南众王争战，在米吉多水亭的他纳争战，却没有取得银钱。

†[Wlb]列王来战、迦南诸王战于他纳、在米吉多水滨、未获金币、

†[Xdv]在米吉多溪旁的他纳，众王都来打仗。迦南诸王争战；他们却没带走银子。

†[Kjv]The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.

†[Nkjv]"The kings came and fought, Then the kings of Canaan fought In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; They took no spoils of silver.

†[BBE]The kings came on to the fight, the kings of Canaan were warring; in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: they took no profit in money.

†[GNT] At Taanach, by the stream of Megiddo, the kings came and fought; the kings of Canaan fought, but they took no silver away.

†[NIV]Kings came, they fought; the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, but they carried off no silver, no plunder.

本会注释　　迦南诸王。西西拉的军队可能包括邻近的加强迦南城防如他纳和米吉多的王。这两个城市在河的南岸，但西布伦人和拿弗他利人的勇敢进攻显然在战斗的混乱中摧毁了这些据点。
　　未得。这些王帮助西西拉打仗，非但没有缴获战利品，还丧失了城池和性命。

士5:20 星宿从天上争战，从其轨道攻击西西拉。

†[吕]星宿从天上交战，从其轨道攻击西西拉。

†[思]星辰由天上参战，自其轨道与息色辣交锋。

†[Nkjv]They fought from the heavens; The stars from their courses fought against Sisera.

†[BBE]The stars from heaven were fighting; from their highways they were fighting against Sisera.

†[GNT] The stars fought from the sky; as they moved across the sky, they fought against Sisera.

†[NIV]From the heavens the stars fought, from their courses they fought against Sisera.

本会注释　　星宿。就是自然的力量，在字面和诗意上都代表上帝的能力。衪掌控着自然的力量。

士5:21 基顺古河把敌人冲没；我的灵啊，应当努力前行。 (串)士4:7

†[吕]基顺古河把敌人冲没；我的灵啊，应当努力前行。

†[思]克雄河的急流将仇敌冲没。我的心灵，勇敢践踏罢！

†[当代]基顺河的急流把他们冲走；我的灵啊，你要奋力向前！

†[BBE]The river Kishon took them violently away, stopping their flight, the river Kishon. Give praise, O my soul, to the strength of the Lord!

†[GNT] A flood in the Kishon swept them away - the onrushing Kishon River. I shall march, march on, with strength!

†[NIV]The river Kishon swept them away, the age-old river, the river Kishon. March on, my soul; be strong!

本会注释　　把敌人冲没。见@士4:15@注释。

士5:22 那时壮马驰驱，踢跳，奔腾。

†[吕]那时壮马驰驱，踢跳，奔腾。

†[思]勇士急奔飞腾，马蹄挞挞作响。

†[当代]且听战马踏蹄的声音！且看它们跳跃奔腾！

†[新译]那时马蹄沓沓，勇士急奔飞驰。

†[Wlb]健马腾踔、蹄蹴于途、

†[Xdv]那时壮马飞驰，蹄声挞挞奔腾。

†[Kjv]Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.

†[Nkjv]Then the horses' hooves pounded, The galloping, galloping of his steeds.

†[BBE]Then loudly the feet of the horses were sounding with the stamping, the stamping of their war-horses.

†[GNT] Then the horses came galloping on, stamping the ground with their hoofs.

†[NIV]Then thundered the horses' hoofs-galloping, galloping go his mighty steeds.

本会注释　　壮马驰骋。溃退中的恐怖和混乱显然致使马在草原上踢跳，弄伤了脚蹄，使得马足变跛，马就无用了。

士5:23 耶和华的使者说：应当咒诅米罗斯，大大咒诅其中的居民；因为他们不来帮助耶和华，不来帮助耶和华攻击勇士。 (串)士21:5

†[吕]永恒主的使者说：应当咒诅米罗斯，大大咒诅其中的居民；因为他们不来帮助永恒主，不来帮助永恒主攻击勇士。

†[思]诅咒默洛次，诅咒其中的居民，因他未率领勇士来协助上主！

†[当代]但主的使者说：‘你们要咒诅米罗斯的居民，因为他们没有攻击主的敌人。’

†[新译]耶和华的使者说：‘你们要咒诅米罗斯，大大咒诅其中的居民；因为他们不来帮助耶和华，不带领勇士帮助耶和华。’

†[Wlb]耶和华之使者曰、尔其诅米罗斯、严诅其居民、以其不来助耶和华、不助耶和华攻勇士、

†[Xdv]上主的天使说：要咒诅米罗斯；要重重地咒诅那里的居民。他们没来帮助上主，不来帮他打击强敌。

†[Kjv]Curse 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.

†[Nkjv]"Curse Meroz,' said the angel of the LORD, "Curse its inhabitants bitterly, Because they did not come to the help of the LORD, To the help of the LORD against the mighty.'

†[BBE]A curse, a curse on Meroz! said the angel of the Lord. A bitter curse on her townspeople! Because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among the strong ones.

†[GNT] "Put a curse on Meroz," says the angel of the Lord, "a curse, a curse on those who live there. They did not come to help the Lord, come as soldiers to fight for him."

†[NIV]Curse Meroz,' said the angel of the LORD. 'Curse its people bitterly, because they did not come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty.'

本会注释　　米罗斯。我们不能明确肯定，但米罗斯显然是在战场附近。与其他支派敢于反对迦南人的爱国而勇敢的人形成鲜明的对照，米罗斯的以色列居民，在西西拉撤退的途中，拒绝以任何形式提供帮助。如果有这些人的帮助，以色列人大概就能防备迦南人，甚至西西拉从战场逃跑。由于他们拒绝帮助，耶和华的使者给他们发出了一个咒诅。他们所犯的，不是主动的罪，而是疏忽的罪。他们这次的过错是在需要帮助的时候袖手旁观，因此上帝的咒诅临到他们。
　　在《士师记》中没有别的经节像这节经文那样严厉地警告今天教会的成员。这节经文咒诅那些在危机时刻拒绝帮助的人。面对需要工人的呼吁，许多自称为基督徒的人满足于自己闲懒和自私的行为，拒绝帮助上帝的教会与撒但作战。他们说教会的工作应该由传道人来做，他们自己没有任何责任。米罗斯的咒诅会临到这些不忠心的基督徒身上，除非他们改变冷漠的态度。

士5:24 愿基尼人希百的妻雅亿比众妇人多得福气，比住帐棚的妇人更蒙福祉。 (串)士4:17

†[吕]愿基尼人希百的妻雅亿比众妇人多得福气，比住帐棚的妇人更蒙福祉。

†[思]雅厄耳，在女子中是可赞美的！在居于帐棚的女子中是可赞美的！

†[当代]基尼人希百的妻子雅亿比所有住帐棚的妇人更为有福。

†[新译]愿基尼人希伯的妻子雅亿，比众妇女更有福气，比住在帐棚的妇女更有福气。

†[Wlb]基尼人希百妻雅亿、较众妇尤为有福、较居幕之妇尤为有福、

†[Xdv]基尼人希百的妻子雅亿，在妇女中最值得称赞；在主妇中最值得赞美。

†[Kjv]Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

†[Nkjv]"Most blessed among women is Jael, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Blessed is she among women in tents.

†[BBE]Blessings be on Jael, more than on all women! Blessings greater than on any in the tents!

†[GNT] The most fortunate of women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite - the most fortunate of women who live in tents.

†[NIV]Most blessed of women be Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, most blessed of tent-dwelling women.

本会注释　　比众妇人多得福气。这里的“福气”一词，常常有“赞美”“赞扬”“表扬”之意。与米罗斯居民拒绝帮助同胞形成对照的是雅亿。她在种族上不属以色列人。她实际上在政治方面是与以色列的敌人结盟的。
　　住帐棚的妇人。指雅亿是所有游牧民族中最杰出的妇女。

士5:25 西西拉求水，雅亿给他奶子，用宝贵的盘子给他奶油。 (串)士4:19

†[吕]西西拉求水，雅亿给他奶子，用宝贵的盘子给他奶油。

†[思]他求水，她给了奶，以珍贵的杯盘呈上了乳酪。

†[当代]西西拉求水，雅亿却给他奶喝，还用珍贵的杯子呈上奶油；

†[新译]西西拉求水，雅亿给了奶；用珍贵的盘子奉上乳酪。

†[Wlb]其人求水、给之以乳、奉之以酥、盛于贵盂、

†[Xdv]西西拉向她要水，她给他牛奶；她用贵重的碗装奶汁给他。

†[Kjv]He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

†[Nkjv]He asked for water, she gave milk; She brought out cream in a lordly bowl.

†[BBE]His request was for water, she gave him milk; she put butter before him on a fair plate.

†[GNT] Sisera asked for water, but she gave him milk; she brought him cream in a beautiful bowl.

†[NIV]He asked for water, and she gave him milk; in a bowl fit for nobles she brought him curdled milk.

本会注释　　宝贵的盘子。可能是来自克利特的一种精致的碗，为有身份的人所使用。

士5:26 雅亿左手拿着帐棚的橛子，右手拿着匠人的锤子，击打西西拉，打伤他的头，把他的鬓角打破穿通。 (串)士4:21

†[吕]雅亿左手拿着帐棚的橛子，右手拿着匠人的锤子，击打西西拉，打伤他的头，把他的鬓角打破穿通。

†[思]她左手拿着橛子，右手拿着匠人的子，打击了息色辣，打穿了他的头颅，击穿了他的太阳穴。

†[当代]然后她左手拿起营钉，右手拿起工匠的锤子，把钉子穿过西西拉的头颅，刺透了他的太阳穴，

†[新译]她伸手拿着帐棚的橛子，右手拿着匠人的锤子，击打西西拉，打破他的头，粉碎他的头颅，贯穿他的鬓角。

†[Wlb]手执幕钉、右手取匠人之椎、击西西拉、贯厥头颅、穿其鬓际、

†[Xdv]雅亿一手拿帐棚的木钉，一手拿工匠的锤子；她击打西西拉，打碎他的头，穿透了他的太阳穴。

†[Kjv]She 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.

†[Nkjv]She stretched her hand to the tent peg, Her right hand to the workmen's hammer; She pounded Sisera, she pierced his head, She split and struck through his temple.

†[BBE]She put out her hand to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workman's hammer; and she gave Sisera a blow, crushing his head, wounding and driving through his brow.

†[GNT] She took a tent peg in one hand, a worker's hammer in the other; she struck Sisera and crushed his skull; she pierced him through the head.

†[NIV]Her hand reached for the tent peg, her right hand for the workman's hammer. She struck Sisera, she crushed his head, she shattered and pierced his temple.

本会注释　　结合这首诗歌和士4:21对雅亿的记载，呈现出以下的画面：西西拉熟睡之后，雅亿悄悄地靠近，并拿锤子猛击他，打碎了他的头。他虽然受了致命的伤，但还能挣扎起来。据士5:27，西西拉在雅亿脚前曲身扑倒（希伯来语是kara），接着曲身倒卧（直译是“以暴力对待”）。然后雅亿用钉帐棚的木橛把他钉在地上。但我们仍然很难具体地明白这首诗所用的语言。

士5:27 西西拉在她脚前曲身仆倒，在她脚前曲身倒卧；在那里曲身，就在那里死亡。

†[吕]西西拉在她脚前曲身仆倒，在她脚前曲身倒卧；在那里曲身，就在那里死亡。

†[思]在她脚前屈身仆倒，深深入睡，昏迷至死；在她脚前屈身仆倒，蜷伏在那，僵卧在那。

†[当代]西西拉弯身仆倒在她的脚前，他弯身仆倒，一命呜呼。

†[新译]西西拉在雅亿脚前屈身、仆倒、躺卧，在雅亿脚前屈身、仆倒；他在那里屈身，就在那里仆倒死亡。

†[Wlb]彼乃卷曲于其足前、颠仆偃卧、卷曲颠仆于其足前、在彼卷曲之处、偃卧而死、

†[Xdv]西西拉屈身，仆倒，躺在雅亿脚下；西西拉屈身，倒地而死。

†[Kjv]At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.

†[Nkjv]At her feet he sank, he fell, he lay still; At her feet he sank, he fell; Where he sank, there he fell dead.

†[BBE]Bent at her feet he went down, he was stretched out; bent at her feet he went down; where he was bent down, there he went down in death.

†[GNT] He sank to his knees, fell down and lay still at her feet. At her feet he sank to his knees and fell; he fell to the ground, dead.

†[NIV]At her feet he sank, he fell; there he lay. At her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell-dead.

士5:28 西西拉的母亲从窗户里往外观看，从窗棂中呼叫说：他的战车为何耽延不来呢？他的车轮为何行得慢呢？ (串)撒下6:16|箴7:6

†[吕]西西拉的母亲从窗户里往外观看，从窗櫺中呼叫说：他的战车为何耽延不来呢？他的车轮为何行得慢呢？

†[思]息色辣的母亲自窗口探望，在铁棂中长叹：战车为什么迟迟不来？车辆为什么缓缓而行？

†[当代]他可怜的母亲终日凭窗远眺，等待爱子归回，‘为什么他的战车还没有回来呢？为什么还听不到车轮的响声呢？’

†[新译]西西拉的母亲从窗户里向外观望，从窗棂中呼叫说：‘他的战车为什么迟迟不来呢？车轮为什么行得缓慢呢？’

†[Wlb]西西拉之母、自窗而望、由棂而呼、曰、其车何久不至、其轮何行之迟、

†[Xdv]西西拉的母亲眺望窗外；她在格子窗后面凝视（希伯来文是：呼叫）。她问：他的战车为什么迟迟未归？他的战马为什么还不回来？

†[Kjv]The 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?

†[Nkjv]"The mother of Sisera looked through the window, And cried out through the lattice, "Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarries the clatter of his chariots?'

†[BBE]Looking out from the window she gave a cry, the mother of Sisera was crying out through the window, Why is his carriage so long in coming? When will the noise of his wheels be sounding?

†[GNT] Sisera's mother looked out of the window; she gazed from behind the lattice. "Why is his chariot so late in coming?" she asked. "Why are his horses so slow to return?"

†[NIV]Through the window peered Sisera's mother; behind the lattice she cried out, 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why is the clatter of his chariots delayed?'

本会注释　　有人说得好，这一句有生动的讽刺意味，描述西西拉母亲的焦虑和担忧，很可能是一位妇女所写的。与一位妇女令人高兴的行动形成鲜明对比的，是另一位妇女的痛苦；她徒劳地压抑灾难的预感。当西西拉蒙受屈辱的死亡时，在他遥远的都城，他的母亲焦虑而迷茫，他为何耽延不来。她满心担忧，朝窗外遥望道路远处缭绕的尘埃，是否宣告她儿子的归回。她凝望而聆听，但听不到战车的凯旋，这使她的心充满恐惧。

士5:29 聪明的宫女安慰她（原文作回答她），她也自言自语地说：

†[吕]聪明的宫女安慰她（原文是回答她），她也自言自语地说：

†[思]聪明的宫女作了回答，自己心中亦反复思想：

†[当代]聪明的宫女安慰她，但她还不断自言自语地说：

†[新译]聪明的宫女回答她；她也自己回答说：

†[Wlb]其贵妇之慧者应之、彼自言曰、

†[Xdv]她最聪明的宫女回答；她也自言自语：

†[Kjv]Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,

†[Nkjv]Her wisest ladies answered her, Yes, she answered herself,

†[BBE]Her wise women gave answer to her, yes, she made answer again to herself,

†[GNT] Her wisest friends answered her, and she told herself over and over,

†[NIV]The wisest of her ladies answer her; indeed, she keeps saying to herself,

士5:30 他们莫非得财而分？每人得了一两个女子？西西拉得了彩衣为掳物，得绣花的彩衣为掠物。这彩衣两面绣花，乃是披在被掳之人颈项上的。 (串)出15:9

†[吕]他们莫非得财而分？每人得了一两个女子？西西拉得了彩衣为掳物，得绣花的彩衣为掠物。这彩衣两面绣花，乃是披在被掳之人颈项上的。

†[思]或者获得掠物而在分赃，每人分得一二少女；息色辣取得彩衣为掠物，为我的颈项，获得锦绣彩衣。

†[当代]‘难道掠物太多，他们忙于分配吗？也许，每人可以得到一两个少女，西西拉也会分得从俘虏身上夺来的绣花彩衣吧！’

†[新译]‘莫非他们正在分战利品？每个勇士分得一两个女子；西西拉得了彩衣作战利品，得了一两件绣花的彩衣作战利品，为我的颈项，得着绣花的彩衣作战利品吗？’

†[Wlb]岂非获财、共分所虏、各得一二女子、西西拉得文彩之衣、锦绣之服、表里文绣、以饰所虏者之项、

†[Xdv]他们一定是在抢东西，分战利品，一个兵士配给一个女人，两个女人。西西拉得了彩衣；他给皇后（希伯来文是：掠夺者）带回锦绣的围巾。

†[Kjv]Have 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?

†[Nkjv]"Are they not finding and dividing the spoil: To every man a girl or two; For Sisera, plunder of dyed garments, Plunder of garments embroidered and dyed, Two pieces of dyed embroidery for the neck of the looter?'

†[BBE]Are they not getting, are they not parting the goods among them: a young girl or two to every man; and to Sisera robes of coloured needlework, worked in fair colours on this side and on that, for the neck of the queen?

†[GNT] "They are only finding things to capture and divide, a woman or two for every soldier, rich cloth for Sisera, embroidered pieces for the neck of the queen."

†[NIV]Are they not finding and dividing the spoils: a girl or two for each man, colorful garments as plunder for Sisera, colorful garments embroidered, highly embroidered garments for my neck-all this as plunder?'

本会注释　　聪明的宫女为了安慰西西拉母亲的不祥预感就给出了推断。他母亲也这样聊以自慰，心想他们的军队因收缴战利品而被耽延了。他们描绘出一幅美好的图景，穿着绣花彩衣，掳掠了女子，他们的男人因带着掳物，所以在返回的路上耽延了。称之为“聪明的宫女”显然是反讽之语，因为他们的推测与事实距离甚远。诗歌的作者没有形象地描述这些骄傲妇女的失望，而让了解故事真相的读者去想象西西拉战败的消息传到时的情景──没有战利品，没有胜利，英雄死了，军队溃散，全然失败。

士5:31 耶和华啊，愿你的仇敌都这样灭亡！愿爱你的人如日头出现，光辉烈烈！这样，国中太平四十年。 (串)诗83:9-10|撒下23:4|诗37:6但12:3太13:43|士3:11

†[吕]永恒主啊，愿你的仇敌都这样灭亡！愿爱你的人如日头出现，光辉烈烈！这样，国中太平四十年。

本会注释　　都这样灭亡。我们再一次看到了整幅的画面：迦南人的刚愎自用，以色列人的猛烈进攻，敌人的可怕溃败，西西拉的逃跑，他死在一个妇女手中，他母亲的焦虑。这首诗歌的最后表达了这样的愿望：上帝所有的敌人都会灭亡。这是他们的最终下场。
　　本章所描述对敌人的可怕杀戮，必须根据事件发生的时代来理解。详见对@申14:26@注释。
　　如日头。这里所展示爱上帝并侍奉衪之人的光荣画面，是先知以赛亚（赛60:1），但以理（但12:3）和玛拉基（基4:2；参《善恶之争》632页）所曾描述的。基督自己也曾用相似的语言描写了那些成为天国公民的人（太13:43）。约翰曾看见一位天使好象太阳从东方上来，拿着上帝的印，给那些准备接受的人盖上（启7:2,3）。被天使盖上印的人“好像太阳才从云中照出来，射在他们脸上，使他们焕发胜利的光彩，好像他们即将获得完全的胜利似的”（《早期著作》89页）。
　　国中太平。倘如在这太平年间百姓都行在耶和华的道路上，那是多么美好的事情啊！对今天上帝的教会也有一个教训。在此相对和平的年代，一个极大的挑战，就是我们要在生命中发出真理的光芒，照耀他人，从而促进上帝圣工的完成，余民的光荣前景就会实现。
