| Judges 4 Text (WEB)
|
- The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, when Ehud was dead.
- Yahweh sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
- The children of Israel cried to Yahweh: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
- Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
- She lived under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
- She sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh Naphtali, and said to him, "Hasn't Yahweh, the God of Israel, commanded, 'Go and draw to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
- I will draw to you, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into your hand.'"
- Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go."
- She said, "I will surely go with you: nevertheless, the journey that you take shall not be for your honor; for Yahweh will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman." Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
- Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
- Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab the brother-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
- They told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to Mount Tabor.
- Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles, to the river Kishon.
- Deborah said to Barak, "Go; for this is the day in which Yahweh has delivered Sisera into your hand. Hasn't Yahweh gone out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
- Yahweh confused Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
- But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, to Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not a man left.
- However 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.
- Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, "Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; don't be afraid." He came in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
- He said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty." She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
- He said to her, "Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man comes and inquires of you, and says, 'Is there any man here?' that you shall say, 'No.'"
- Then Jael Heber's wife took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he swooned and died.
- Behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, "Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek." He came to her; and behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent peg was in his temples.
- So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
- The hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.

- ויספו בני ישראל לעשות הרע בעיני יהוה ואהוד מת׃
- וימכרם יהוה ביד יבין מלך־כנען אשר מלך בחצור ושר־צבאו סיסרא והוא יושב בחרשת הגוים׃
- ויצעקו בני־ישראל אל־יהוה כי תשע מאות רכב־ברזל לו והוא לחץ את־בני ישראל בחזקה עשרים שנה׃ ס
- ודבורה אשה נביאה אשת לפידות היא שפטה את־ישראל בעת ההיא׃
- והיא יושבת תחת־תמר דבורה בין הרמה ובין בית־אל בהר אפרים ויעלו אליה בני ישראל למשפט׃
- ותשלח ותקרא לברק בן־אבינעם מקדש נפתלי ותאמר אליו הלא צוה יהוה אלהי־ישראל לך ומשכת בהר תבור ולקחת עמך עשרת אלפים איש מבני נפתלי ומבני זבלון׃
- ומשכתי אליך אל־נחל קישון את־סיסרא שר־צבא יבין ואת־רכבו ואת־המונו ונתתיהו בידך׃
- ויאמר אליה ברק אם־תלכי עמי והלכתי ואם־לא תלכי עמי לא אלך׃
- ותאמר הלך אלך עמך אפס כי לא תהיה תפארתך על־הדרך אשר אתה הולך כי ביד־אשה ימכר יהוה את־סיסרא ותקם דבורה ותלך עם־ברק קדשה׃
- ויזעק ברק את־זבולן ואת־נפתלי קדשה ויעל ברגליו עשרת אלפי איש ותעל עמו דבורה׃
- וחבר הקיני נפרד מקין מבני חבב חתן משה ויט אהלו עד־אלון אשר את־קדש׃
- ויגדו לסיסרא כי עלה ברק בן־אבינעם הר־תבור׃ ס
- ויזעק סיסרא את־כל־רכבו תשע מאות רכב ברזל ואת־כל־העם אשר אתו מחרשת הגוים אל־נחל קישון׃
- ותאמר דברה אל־ברק קום כי זה היום אשר נתן יהוה את־סיסרא בידך הלא יהוה יצא לפניך וירד ברק מהר תבור ועשרת אלפים איש אחריו׃
- ויהם יהוה את־סיסרא ואת־כל־הרכב ואת־כל־המחנה לפי־חרב לפני ברק וירד סיסרא מעל המרכבה וינס ברגליו׃
- וברק רדף אחרי הרכב ואחרי המחנה עד חרשת הגוים ויפל כל־מחנה סיסרא לפי־חרב לא נשאר עד־אחד׃
- וסיסרא נס ברגליו אל־אהל יעל אשת חבר הקיני כי שלום בין יבין מלך־חצור ובין בית חבר הקיני׃
- ותצא יעל לקראת סיסרא ותאמר אליו סורה אדני סורה אלי אל־תירא ויסר אליה האהלה ותכסהו בשמיכה׃
- ויאמר אליה השקיני־נא מעט־מים כי צמאתי ותפתח את־נאוד החלב ותשקהו ותכסהו׃
- ויאמר אליה עמד פתח האהל והיה אם־איש יבוא ושאלך ואמר היש־פה איש ואמרת אין׃
- ותקח יעל אשת־חבר את־יתד האהל ותשם את־המקבת בידה ותבוא אליו בלאט ותתקע את־היתד ברקתו ותצנח בארץ והוא־נרדם ויעף וימת׃
- והנה ברק רדף את־סיסרא ותצא יעל לקראתו ותאמר לו לך ואראך את־האיש אשר־אתה מבקש ויבא אליה והנה סיסרא נפל מת והיתד ברקתו׃
- ויכנע אלהים ביום ההוא את יבין מלך־כנען לפני בני ישראל׃
- ותלך יד בני־ישראל הלוך וקשה על יבין מלך־כנען עד אשר הכריתו את יבין מלך־כנען׃ ף

| Judges 4 Text (Latin)
|
- Addideruntque filii Israël facere malum in conspectu Domini post mortem Aod,
- et tradidit illos Dominus in manus Jabin regis Chanaan, qui regnavit in Asor : habuitque ducem exercitus sui nomine Sisaram, ipse autem habitabat in Haroseth gentium.
- Clamaveruntque filii Israël ad Dominum : nongentos enim habebat falcatos currus, et per viginti annos vehementer oppresserat eos.
- Erat autem Debbora prophetis uxor Lapidoth, quæ judicabat populum in illo tempore.
- Et sedebat sub palma, quæ nomine illius vocabatur, inter Rama et Bethel in monte Ephraim : ascendebantque ad eam filii Israël in omne judicium.
- Quæ misit et vocavit Barac filium Abinoëm de Cedes Nephthali : dixitque ad eum : Præcepit tibi Dominus Deus Israël : Vade, et duc exercitum in montem Thabor, tollesque tecum decem millia pugnatorum de filiis Nephthali, et de filiis Zabulon :
- ego autem adducam ad te in loco torrentis Cison, Sisaram principem exercitus Jabin, et currus ejus, atque omnem multitudinem, et tradam eos in manu tua.
- Dixitque ad eam Barac : Si venis mecum, vadam : si nolueris venire mecum, non pergam.
- Quæ dixit ad eum : Ibo quidem tecum, sed in hac vice victoria non reputabitur tibi, quia in manu mulieris tradetur Sisara. Surrexit itaque Debbora, et perrexit cum Barac in Cedes.
- Qui, accitis Zabulon et Nephthali, ascendit cum decem millibus pugnatorum, habens Debboram in comitatu suo.
- Haber autem Cinæus recesserat quondam a ceteris Cinæis fratribus suis filiis Hobab, cognati Moysi : et tetenderat tabernacula usque ad vallem, quæ vocatur Sennim, et erat juxta Cedes.
- Nuntiatumque est Sisaræ quod ascendisset Barac filius Abinoëm in montem Thabor :
- et congregavit nongentos falcatos currus, et omnem exercitum de Haroseth gentium ad torrentem Cison.
- Dixitque Debbora ad Barac : Surge, hæc est enim dies, in qua tradidit Dominus Sisaram in manus tuas : en ipse ductor est tuus. Descendit itaque Barac de monte Thabor, et decem millia pugnatorum cum eo.
- Perterruitque Dominus Sisaram, et omnes currus ejus, universamque multitudinem in ore gladii ad conspectum Barac : in tantum, ut Sisara de curru desiliens, pedibus fugeret,
- et Barac persequeretur fugientes currus, et exercitum usque ad Haroseth gentium, et omnis hostium multitudo usque ad internecionem caderet.
- Sisara autem fugiens pervenit ad tentorium Jahel uxoris Haber Cinæi. Erat enim pax inter Jabin regem Asor, et domum Haber Cinæi.
- Egressa igitur Jahel in occursum Sisaræ, dixit ad eum : Intra ad me, domine mi : intra, ne timeas. Qui ingressus tabernaculum ejus, et opertus ab ea pallio,
- dixit ad eam : Da mihi, obsecro, paululum aquæ, quia sitio valde. Quæ aperuit utrem lactis, et dedit ei bibere, et operuit illum.
- Dixitque Sisara ad eam : Sta ante ostium tabernaculi : et cum venerit aliquis interrogans te, et dicens : Numquid hic est aliquis ? respondebis : Nullus est.
- Tulit itaque Jahel uxor Haber clavum tabernaculi, assumens pariter et malleum : et ingressa abscondite et cum silentio, posuit supra tempus capitis ejus clavum, percussumque malleo defixit in cerebrum usque ad terram : qui soporem morti consocians defecit, et mortuus est.
- Et ecce Barac sequens Sisaram veniebat : egressaque Jahel in occursum ejus, dixit ei : Veni, et ostendam tibi virum quem quæris. Qui cum intrasset ad eam, vidit Sisaram jacentem mortuum, et clavum infixum in tempore ejus.
- Humiliavit ergo Deus in die illo Jabin regem Chanaan coram filiis Israël :
- qui crescebant quotidie, et forti manu opprimebant Jabin regem Chanaan, donec delerent eum.

| Judges 4 Text (KJV)
|
- And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead.
- And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
- And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
- And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
- And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
- And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel 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?
- And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.
- And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
- And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
- And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
- Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
- And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
- And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.
- And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
- And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
- But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
- 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.
- And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
- 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.
- Again 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.
- Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
- And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
- So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
- And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
