Judges 5

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Peshitta
1 In that day Debbora and Barac son of Abinoem sung, and said:	1 ܘܫܒܚܬ ܕܒܘܪܐ ܘܒܪܩ ܒܪ ܐܒܝܢܥܡ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܗܘ ܠܡܐܡܪ
2 O you of Israel, that have willingly offered your lives to danger, bless the Lord.	2 ܒܦܘܪܥܢܘܬܐ ܕܐܬܦܪܥ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܫܒܚܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ
3 Hear, O ye kings, give ear, ye princes: It is I, it is I, that will sing to the Lord, I will sing to the Lord the God of Israel.	3 ܫܡܥܘ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܘܨܘܬܘ ܫ̈ܠܝܛܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܫܒܚ ܘܐܙܡܪ ܠܗ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ
4 O Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, and passedst by the regions of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped water.	4 ܡܪܝܐ ܒܡܦܩܟ ܕܡܢ ܣܥܝܪ ܟܕ ܗܠܟܬ ܒܝܢܬ ܚܩ̈ܠܬܐ ܕܐܕܘܡ ܐܪܥܐ ܙܥܬ ܐܦ ܫܡܝܐ ܢܛܦܘ ܘܥܢ̈ܢܐ ܪܣ ܡ̈ܝܐ
5 The mountains melted before the face of the Lord, and Sinai before the face of the Lord the God of Israel.	5 ܘܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܕܠܘ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܗܢܐ ܣܝܢܝ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ
6 In the days of Samgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jahel the paths rested: and they that went by them, walked through by-ways.	6 ܒܝ̈ܘܡܘܗܝ ܕܫܡܓܪ ܒܪ ܥܢܬ ܘܒܝ̈ܘܡܝ ܥܢܐܝܠ ܦܣܩܘ ܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܐ ܘܕܡܗܠܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܫܒܝ̈ܠܐ ܬܪ̈ܝܨܐ ܗܠܟܘ ܒܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܐ ܡܥܩܡ̈ܬܐ
7 The valiant men ceased, and rested in Israel: until Debbora arose, a mother arose in Israel.	7 ܦܣܩܘ ܫܛܚ̈ܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܦܣܩܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܩܡܬ ܐܢܐ ܕܒܘܪܐ ܩܡܬ ܐܡܐ ܒܐܝܣܪܝܠ
8 The Lord chose new wars, and he himself overthrew the gates of the enemies: a shield and spear was not seen among forty thousand of Israel.	8 ܢܓܒܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܕܬܐ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܠܚܡܐ ܕܣܥܪ̈ܐ ܘܣܝܦܐ ܘܪܘܡܚܐ ܠܐ ܢܬܚܙܐ ܒܝܢܬ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܝܢ ܐ̈ܠܦܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ
9 My heart loveth the princes of Israel: O you that of your own good will offered yourselves to danger, bless the Lord.	9 ܠܒܝ ܐܡܪ ܠܡܒܕܩܢܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܦܪܝܫܝܢ ܒܥܡܐ ܒܪܟܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ
10 Speak, you that ride upon fair asses, and you that sit in judgment, and walk in the way.	10 ܘܪ̈ܟܒܝ ܐܬ̈ܢܐ ܚܘܪ̈ܬܐ ܘܝܬ̈ܒܝ ܒ̈ܒܬܐ ܘܡܗ̈ܠܟܝ ܒܐܘܪ̈ܚܬܐ
11 Where the chariots were dashed together, and the army of the enemies was choked, there let the justices of the Lord be rehearsed, and his clemency towards the brave men of Israel: then the people of the Lord went down to the gates, and obtained the sovereignty.	11 ܪܢܘ ܡܢ ܡ̈ܠܐ ܕܒܨ̈ܘܝܐ ܕܒܝܢܬ ܡ̈ܠܦܢܐ ܬܡܢ ܢܬܠܘܢ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܗ ܕܐܣܓܝ ܒܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܚܬ ܠܬܪܥܐ ܥܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ
12 Arise, arise, O Debbora, arise, arise, and utter a canticle. Arise, Barac, and take hold of thy captives, O son of Abinoem.	12 ܐܬܬܥܝܪܝ ܐܬܬܥܝܪܝ ܕܒܘܪܐ ܐܬܬܥܝܪܝ ܘܐܬܝܕܝ ܘܡܠܠܝ ܬܫܒܘܚܬܐ ܩܘܡ ܒܪܩ ܘܫܒܝ ܫܒܝ̈ܟ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܒܝܢܥܡ
13 The remnants of the people are saved, the Lord hath fought among the valiant ones.	13 ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܚܬ ܡܦܨܝܢܐ ܠܡܫܒܚܘ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܢܚܬ ܠܝ ܒܓܒܪܐ
14 Out of Ephraim he destroyed them into Amalec, and after him out of Benjamin into thy people, O Amalec: Out of Machir there came down princes, and out of Zabulon they that led the army to fight.	14 ܡܢ ܐܦܪܝܡ ܘܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܒܥܡܠܝܩ ܒܬܪܟ ܒܢܝܡܝܢ ܒܚܘܒܟ ܡܢ ܡܟܝܪ ܢܦܩ ܡܒܕܩܢܐ ܘܡܢ ܙܒܘܠܘܢ ܕܟܬܒܝܢ ܒܩܢܝܐ ܕܣܦܪܐ
15 The captains of Issachar were with Debbora, and followed the steps of Barac, who exposed himself to danger, as one going headlong, and into a pit. Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men.	15 ܪ̈ܘܪܒܢܐ ܕܐܝܣܟܪ ܥܡ ܕܒܘܪܐ ܘܐܝܣܟܪ ܐܝܟ ܒܪܩ ܒܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܐܫܬܕܪ ܒܪ̈ܓܠܘܗܝ ܠܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܕܪܘܒܝܠ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܝܢ ܒܕܩ̈ܝ ܠܒܐ
16 Why dwellest thou between two borders, that thou mayest hear the bleatings of the flocks? Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men.	16 ܠܡܢܐ ܝܬܒ ܐܢܬ ܒܝܢܬ ܫܒ̈ܝܠܐ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܣܘܩܐ ܕܥܪ̈ܕܐ ܠܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܕܪܘܒܝܠ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܝܢ ܒܕܩ̈ܝ ܠܒܐ
17 Galaad rested beyond the Jordan, and Dan applied himself to ships: Aser dwelt on the sea shore, and abode in the havens.	17 ܓܕ ܒܥܒܪܐ ܕܝܘܪܕܢܢ ܫܪܐ ܘܕܢ ܠܡܐܢܐ ܓܐܪ ܣܦܝ̈ܢܐ ܐܫܝܪ ܝܬܒ ܥܠ ܣܦܪܐ ܕܝܡܐ ܘܥܠ ܬܘܪܥܬܗ ܢܫܪܐ
18 But Zabulon and Nephtali offered their lives to death in the region of Merome.	18 ܙܒܘܠܘܢ ܥܡܐ ܕܚܣܕ ܢܦܫܗ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܢܦܬܠܝ ܥܠ ܪܘܡܐ ܕܚܩܠܗ
19 The kings came and fought, the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanach by the waters of Mageddo, and yet they took no spoils.	19 ܐܬܘ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܘܐܬܟܬܫܘ ܘܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܡ̈ܠܟܐ ܕܟܢܥܢ ܒܬܥܢܟ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܥܠ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܕܡܓܕܘ ܩܢܝܢܐ ܘܟܣܦܐ ܠܐ ܢܣܒܘ
20 War from heaven was made against them, the stars remaining in their order and courses fought against Sisara.	20 ܥܒܕܘ ܩܪܒܐ ܟܘܟܒ̈ܐ ܡܢ ܕܘܟܝ̈ܬܗܘܢ ܩܪܒܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܥܡ ܣܝܣܪܐ
21 The torrent of Cison dragged their carcasses, the torrent of Cadumim, the torrent of Cisoii: tread thou, my soul, upon the strong ones.	21 ܒܢܚܠܐ ܕܩܝܫܘܢ ܓܪܦ ܐܢܘܢ ܢܚܠܐ ܕܩܝܫܘܢ ܘܢܚܠܐ ܕܩܪܡܝܢ ܬܕܪܟ ܢܦܫܝ ܚܝܠܐ
22 The hoofs of the horses were broken whilst the stoutest of the enemies fled amain, and fell headlong down.	22 ܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܦܠ ܥܩ̈ܒܐ ܕܪܟܫܗ ܡܢ ܢܗܡܬܐ ܕܚܝܠܐ ܕܬܩܝ̈ܦܘܗܝ
23 Curse ye the land of Meroz, said the angel of the Lord: curse the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to help his most valiant men.	23 ܠܘܛܘ ܠܡܪܘܕ ܐܡܪ ܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܘܛܘܗ ܘܠܘܛܘ ܠܝܬ̈ܒܝܗ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܐܬܘ ܠܥܘܕܪܢܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܒܓܒܪ̈ܐ
24 Blessed among women be Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, and blessed be she in her tent.	24 ܬܬܒܪܟ ܡܢ ܢܫ̈ܐ ܥܢܐܝܠ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܕܚܘܒܪ ܩܝܢܝܐ ܡܢ ܢܫ̈ܐ ܕܒܡܫܟܢܐ ܬܬܒܪܟ
25 He asked her water and she gave him milk, and offered him butter in a dish fit for princes.	25 ܡ̈ܝܐ ܫܐܠ ܘܚܠܒܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܒܟܣܐ ܕܓܢܒܪ̈ܐ ܩܪܒܬ ܚܐܘܬܐ
26 She put her left hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman's hammer, and she struck Sisara, seeking in his head a place for the wound, and strongly piercing through his temples.	26 ܐܝܕܗ̇ ܥܠ ܣܟܬܐ ܐܘܫܛܬ ܘܝܡܝܢܗ̇ ܠܐܪܙܦܬܐ ܕܢܓܪܐ ܘܡܚܬܗ ܠܣܝܣܪܐ ܘܦܟܬܗ ܠܪܝܫܗ ܡܚܬ ܘܐܥܒܪܬ ܒܨܕܥܗ
27 At her feet he fell: he fainted, and he died: he rolled before her feet, and he lay lifeless and wretched.	27 ܘܒܝܢܬ ܪ̈ܓܠܝܗ ܒܪܟ ܘܢܦܠ ܘܫܟܒ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܕܒܪܟ ܬܡܢ ܢܦܠ ܒܙܘܙܐ
28 His mother looked out at a window, and howled: and she spoke from the dining room: Why is his chariot so long in coming back? Why are the feet of his horses so slow?	28 ܘܡܢ ܟܘܬܐ ܐܕܝܩܬ ܘܝܒܒܬ ܐܡܗ ܕܣܝܣܪܐ ܡܢ ܟܣܣܛܪܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܬ ܡܢܐ ܗܘ ܐܫܬܘܚܪ ܡܪ̈ܟܒܬܗ ܕܒܪܝ ܠܡܐܬܐ ܘܡܢܐ ܗܘ ܐܘܚܪ ܙܢܓܐ ܕܡܪ̈ܟܒܬܗ
29 One that was wiser than the rest of his wives, returned this answer to her mother in law:	29 ܚܟܝܡܬ ܥ̈ܠܝܡܬܗ̇ ܐܦ ܗܝ ܥܢܬ ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܗ̇
30 Perhaps he is now dividing the spoils, and the fairest of the women is chosen out for him: garments of divers colours are given to Sisara for his prey, and furniture of different kinds is heaped together to adorn the necks.	30 ܟܒܪ ܐܙܠ ܘܐܫܟܚ ܒܙܬܐ ܣܓܝܐܬܐ ܘܦܠܓ ܟܘܕܢܝܐ ܟܘܕܢܝܐ ܠܪܝܫ ܓܒܪܐ ܘܒܙܬܐ ܣܓܝܐܬܐ ܘܨ̈ܘܒܥܢܐ ܘܨܘܪ̈ܬܐ ܠܣܝܣܪܐ ܘܨܘ̈ܒܥܢܐ ܘܨܘܪ̈ܬܐ ܥܠ ܨܘܪܐ ܕܒܙܘ̈ܙܐ
31 So let all thy enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love thee shine, as the sun shineth in his rising.	31 ܗܟܢܐ ܢܐܒܕܘܢ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܪ̈ܚܡܝܟ ܐܝܟ ܡܦܩ ܫܡܫܐ ܒܓܢܒܪܘܬܗ ܘܫܠܝܬ ܐܪܥܐ ܐܪ̈ܒܥܝܢ ܫܢ̈ܝܢ
32 And the land rested for forty years.
