Judges 5

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 In that day, Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, sang out, saying:	1 Και εψαλαν η Δεβορρα και ο Βαρακ ο υιος του Αβινεεμ εν τη ημερα εκεινη, λεγοντες,
2 “All you of Israel who have willingly offered your lives to danger, bless the Lord!	2 Επειδη προεπορευθησαν αρχηγοι εν τω Ισραηλ, Επειδη ο λαος προσεφερεν εαυτον εκουσιως, Ευλογειτε τον Κυριον.
3 Listen, O kings! Pay attention, O princes! It is I, it is I, who will sing to the Lord. I will sing a psalm to the Lord, the God of Israel!	3 Ακουσατε, βασιλεις? δοτε ακροασιν, σατραπαι? εγω, εις τον Κυριον εγω θελω ψαλλει εις Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ θελω ψαλμωδει.
4 O Lord, when you departed from Seir, and you crossed through the regions of Edom, the earth and the heavens were moved, and the clouds rained down water.	4 Κυριε, οτε εξηλθες απο Σηειρ, οτε εκινησας απο της πεδιαδος του Εδωμ, η γη εσεισθη και οι ουρανοι εσταλαξαν, αι νεφελαι ετι εσταλαξαν υδωρ.
5 The mountains flowed away before the face of the Lord, and Sinai, before the face of the Lord God of Israel.	5 Τα ορη ετακησαν υπο της παρουσιας του Κυριου? αυτο το Σινα απο της παρουσιας Κυριου του Θεου του Ισραηλ.
6 In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the paths were quiet. And whoever entered by them, walked along rough byways.	6 Εν ταις ημεραις του Σαμεγαρ υιου του Αναθ, εν ταις ημεραις της Ιαηλ, εγκατελειφθησαν αι οδοι, και οι διαβαται περιεπατουν οδους πλαγιας.
7 The strong men ceased, and they rested in Israel, until Deborah rose up, until a mother rose up in Israel.	7 Εξελιπον οι ηγεμονες εν τω Ισραηλ, εξελιπον, εωσου εγω η Δεβορρα εσηκωθην, εσηκωθην μητηρ εν τω Ισραηλ.
8 The Lord chose new wars, and he himself overturned the gates of the enemies. A shield with a spear was not seen among the forty thousand of Israel.	8 Εξελεξαν θεους νεους? τοτε πολεμος εν ταις πυλαις? εφανη αρα ασπις η λογχη μεταξυ τεσσαρακοντα χιλιαδων εν τω Ισραηλ;
9 My heart loves the leaders of Israel. All you who, of your own free will, offered yourselves during a crisis, bless the Lord.	9 Η καρδια μου ειναι προς τους αρχηγους του Ισραηλ, οσοι μεταξυ του λαου προσεφεραν εαυτους εκουσιως. Ευλογειτε τον Κυριον.
10 You who ride upon donkeys laboring, and you who sit in judgment, and you who walk along the way, speak out.	10 Υμνολογειτε? οι επιβαινοντες επι λευκων ονων, οι καθημενοι εις το κρινειν, και οι περιπατουντες εν ταις οδοις.
11 Where the chariots were struck together, and the army of the enemies was choked, in that place, let the justices of the Lord be described, and let his clemency be for the brave of Israel. Then did the people of the Lord descend to the gates, and obtain leadership.	11 Ελευθερωθεντες απο του κροτου των τοξοτων, εν τοις τοποις οπου αντλουσιν υδωρ, εκει θελουσι διηγεισθαι τας δικαιοσυνας του Κυριου, τας δικαιοσυνας των ηγεμονων αυτου μεταξυ του Ισραηλ. Κατεβη τοτε εις τας πυλας ο λαος του Κυριου.
12 Rise up, rise up, O Deborah! Rise up, rise up, and speak a canticle! Rise up, Barak, and seize your captives, O son of Abinoam.	12 Εγερθητι, εγερθητι, Δεβορρα? εγερθητι, εγερθητι, προφερε ωδην? σηκωθητι, Βαρακ, και αιχμαλωτισον τους αιχμαλωτους σου, υιε του Αβινεεμ.
13 The remnants of the people were saved. The Lord contended with the strong.	13 Τοτε κατεβη το εγκαταλελειμμενον του λαου εναντιον των ισχυρων? ο Κυριος κατεβη μετ' εμου εναντιον των δυνατων.
14 Out of Ephraim, he destroyed those with Amalek, and after him, out of Benjamin, those of your people, O Amalek. From Machir, there descended leaders, and from Zebulun, those who led the army to war.	14 Εκ του Εφραιμ οι κατοικουντες το ορος Αμαληκ κατεβησαν κατοπιν σου, Βενιαμιν, μεταξυ των λαων σου. Εκ του Μαχειρ κατεβησαν οι αρχηγοι, και εκ του Ζαβουλων οι κρατουντες ραβδον γραμματεως.
15 The commanders of Issachar were with Deborah, and they followed the steps of Barak, who endangered himself, like one rushing headlong into a chasm. Reuben was divided against himself. Contention was found among great souls.	15 Και οι αρχοντες του Ισσαχαρ μετα της Δεβορρας, ο Ισσαχαρ προσετι και ο Βαρακ? κατοπιν τουτου εδραμον εις την κοιλαδα. Εις τας διαιρεσεις του Ρουβην ηγερθησαν μεγαλοι στοχασμοι καρδιας.
16 Why do you live between two borders, so that you hear the bleating of the flocks? Reuben was divided against himself. Contention was found among great souls.	16 Δια τι εκαθησας μεταξυ εις τας μανδρας, δια να ακουης τα βελασματα των ποιμνιων; εις τας διαιρεσεις του Ρουβην ηγερθησαν μεγαλαι συζητησεις καρδιας.
17 Gilead rested beyond the Jordan, and Dan was occupied with ships. Asher was living on the shore of the sea, and dwelling in the ports.	17 Ο Γαλααδ ησυχαζε περαν του Ιορδανου? και ο Δαν δια τι εμενεν εις τα πλοια; ο Ασηρ εκαθητο εις τα παραλια, και ησυχαζεν εις τους λιμενας αυτου.
18 Yet truly, Zebulun and Naphtali offered their lives to death in the region of Merom.	18 Ο Ζαβουλων ειναι λαος προσφερων την ζωην αυτου εις θανατον, και ο Νεφθαλι, επι τα υψη της πεδιαδος.
19 The kings came and fought; the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach, beside the waters of Megiddo. And yet they took no spoils.	19 Ηλθον οι βασιλεις, επολεμησαν? τοτε επολεμησαν οι βασιλεις Χανααν εν Θααναχ πλησιον των υδατων του Μεγιδδω? λαφυρον αργυριου δεν ελαβον.
20 The conflict against them was from heaven. The stars, remaining in their order and courses, fought against Sisera.	20 Εκ του ουρανου επολεμησαν, οι αστερες εκ της πορειας αυτων επολεμησαν εναντιον του Σισαρα.
21 The torrent of Kishon dragged away their carcasses, the onrushing torrent, the torrent of Kishon. O my soul, tread upon the stalwart!	21 Ο ποταμος Κισων κατεσυρεν αυτους, ο παλαιος ποταμος, ο ποταμος Κισων. Κατεπατησας, ψυχη μου, δυναμιν.
22 The hoofs of the horses were broken, while the strongest of the enemies fled away with fury, and rushed on to ruin.	22 Τοτε κατετριβησαν οι ονυχες των ιππων απο του ορμητικου δρομου, του ορμητικου δρομου των επ' αυτους ισχυρων.
23 ‘Cursed be the land of Meroz!’ said the Angel of the Lord. ‘Cursed be its inhabitants! For they did not come to the aid of the Lord, to the assistance of his most valiant men.’	23 Καταρασθε την Μηρωζ, ειπεν ο αγγελος του Κυριου, καταρασθε καταραν τους κατοικους αυτης διοτι δεν ηλθον εις βοηθειαν του Κυριου, εις βοηθειαν του Κυριου εναντιον των δυνατων.
24 Blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. And blessed is she in her tabernacle.	24 Ευλογημενη ας ηναι υπερ τας γυναικας η Ιαηλ, η γυνη του Εβερ του Κεναιου? υπερ τας γυναικας εν ταις σκηναις ευλογημενη ας ηναι.
25 He begged her for water, and she gave him milk, and she offered him butter in a dish fit for princes.	25 Υδωρ εζητησε, γαλα εδωκε? βουτυρον προσεφερεν εις μεγαλοπρεπη κρατηρα.
26 She put her left hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman’s mallet. And she struck Sisera, seeking in his head a place for the wound, and strongly piercing his temples.	26 Την αριστεραν αυτης ηπλωσεν εις τον πασσαλον, και την δεξιαν αυτης εις την σφυραν των εργατων? και σφυροκοπησασα τον Σισαρα εσχισε την κεφαλην αυτου, και συνεθλασε και διεπερασε τους μηνιγγας αυτου.
27 Between her feet, he was ruined. He fainted away and passed on. He curled up before her feet, and he lay there lifeless and miserable.	27 Μεταξυ των ποδων αυτης συνεκαμφθη, επεσεν, εκειτο? μεταξυ των ποδων αυτης συνεκαμφθη, επεσεν? οπου συνεκαμφθη, εκει επεσε νεκρος.
28 His mother gazed through a window and wailed. And she spoke from an upper room: ‘Why does his chariot delay in returning? Why are the feet of his team of horses so slow?’	28 Η μητηρ του Σισαρα εκυπτε δια της θυριδος και εβοα δια του δικτυωτου, Δια τι η αμαξα αυτου βραδυνει να ελθη, δια τι εβραδυναν οι τροχοι των αμαξων αυτου;
29 One who was wiser than the rest of his wives responded to her mother-in-law with this:	29 Αι σοφαι κυριαι αυτης απεκρινοντο προς αυτην? αυτη μαλιστα εδιδε την αποκρισιν προς εαυτην?
30 ‘Perhaps he is now dividing the spoils, and the most beautiful among the women is being selected for him. Garments of diverse colors are being delivered to Sisera as spoils, and various goods are being collected for the adornment of necks.’	30 Δεν επετυχον; δεν διεμοιρασαν τα λαφυρα; μιαν η δυο νεας εις εκαστον ανδρα, εις τον Σισαρα λαφυρα ποικιλοχροα, λαφυρα ποικιλοχροα κεντητα, ποικιλοχροα κεντητα και εκ των δυο μερων, περιλαιμια των λαφυραγωγουμενων;
31 O Lord, so may all your enemies perish! But may those who love you shine with splendor, as the sun shines at its rising.”	31 Ουτω να απολεσθωσι παντες οι εχθροι σου, Κυριε? οι δε αγαπωντες αυτον ας ηναι ως ο ηλιος ανατελλων εν τη δοξη αυτου. Και ανεπαυθη η γη τεσσαρακοντα ετη.
32 And the land rested for forty years.
