Judges 5

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 In that day, Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, sang out, saying:	1 Cecineruntque Debora et Barac filius Abinoem in die illo dicen tes:
2 “All you of Israel who have willingly offered your lives to danger, bless the Lord!	2 “ Quia comae excussae sunt in Israel, cum sponte se obtulit populus, benedicite Domino!
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 Audite, reges, percipite auribus, principes; ego sum, ego sum, quae Domino canam, psallam Domino, Deo Israel!
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 Domine, cum exires de Seir, incederes de regione Edom, terra mota est, caelique stillaverunt, ac nubes stillaverunt aquis;
5 The mountains flowed away before the face of the Lord, and Sinai, before the face of the Lord God of Israel.	5 montes fluxerunt a facie Domini Sinai, a facie Domini, Dei Israel.
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 In diebus Samgar filii Anath, in diebus Iahel quieverunt semitae; et, qui ingrediebantur per eas, ambulaverunt per calles devios.
7 The strong men ceased, and they rested in Israel, until Deborah rose up, until a mother rose up in Israel.	7 Cessaverunt fortes in Israel et quieverunt, donec surgeres, Debora, surgeres mater in Israel.
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 Elegerunt deos novos; tunc erat pugna in portis. Clipeus et hasta non apparuerunt in quadraginta milibus Israel.
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 Cor meum diligit principes Israel. Qui sponte obtulistis vos in populo, benedicite Domino!
10 You who ride upon donkeys laboring, and you who sit in judgment, and you who walk along the way, speak out.	10 Qui ascenditis super nitentes asinas et sedetis super tapetia et ambulatis in via, loquimini.
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 Ad vocem eorum, qui distribuunt aquas ad canales, ibi narrant iustitias Domini, iustitias fortitudinis eius in Israel: tunc descendit populus Domini ad portas.
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 Surge, surge, Debora; surge, surge et loquere canticum! Surge, Barac, et apprehende captivos tuos, fili Abinoem!
13 The remnants of the people were saved. The Lord contended with the strong.	13 Tunc descenderunt reliquiae ad inclitos, populus Domini descendit pro eo in fortibus.
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 Ex Ephraim venerunt principes in vallem post te, Beniamin, in populis tuis. De Machir principes descenderunt, et de Zabulon, qui tenent sceptrum, praefecti.
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 Duces Issachar fuere cum Debora; sic Barac in vallem missus cum peditibus suis. In pagis Ruben magna consilia cordis.
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 Quare sedebas inter caulas, ut audires sibilos tibiae apud greges? Pagis Ruben magnae investigationes cordis.
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 Galaad trans Iordanem quiescebat; et Dan cur peregrinus vacabat navibus? Aser habitabat in litore maris et in portibus morabatur.
18 Yet truly, Zebulun and Naphtali offered their lives to death in the region of Merom.	18 Zabulon vero obtulit animam suam morti, et Nephthali super excelsa regionis.
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 Venerunt reges et pugnaverunt, pugnaverunt reges Chanaan in Thanach iuxta aquas Mageddo, praedam argenti non tulere!
20 The conflict against them was from heaven. The stars, remaining in their order and courses, fought against Sisera.	20 De caelo dimicaverunt stellae, cursu suo adversus Sisaram pugnaverunt.
21 The torrent of Kishon dragged away their carcasses, the onrushing torrent, the torrent of Kishon. O my soul, tread upon the stalwart!	21 Torrens Cison traxit cadavera eorum, torrens proeliorum, torrens Cison; incede, anima mea, fortiter.
22 The hoofs of the horses were broken, while the strongest of the enemies fled away with fury, and rushed on to ruin.	22 Tunc calcaverunt ungulae equorum in cursu praecipiti fortium suorum.
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 Maledicite, Meroz, dixit angelus Domini, maledicite habitatoribus eius, quia non venerunt ad auxilium Domini, in adiutorium Domini in fortibus.
24 Blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. And blessed is she in her tabernacle.	24 Benedicta prae mulieribus Iahel uxor Haber Cinaei, prae mulieribus tabernaculi benedicatur!
25 He begged her for water, and she gave him milk, and she offered him butter in a dish fit for princes.	25 Aquam petenti lac dedit et in phiala principum obtulit butyrum.
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 Sinistram manum misit ad clavum et dextram ad fabrorum malleum: percussitque Sisaram quaerens in capite vulneri locum et tempus valide perforans.
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 Inter pedes eius ruit, cecidit, iacebat; inter pedes eius ruit, cecidit; ubi ruit, ibi iacebat exanimis.
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 Per fenestram prospiciens eiulabat mater Sisarae per cancellos: “Cur moratur regredi currus eius? Quare tardant rotae quadrigarum illius?”.
29 One who was wiser than the rest of his wives responded to her mother-in-law with this:	29 Una sapientior ceteris uxoribus respondit ei, et ipsa sibi repetit verba illius:
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 “Certo nunc dividunt inventa spolia, unam, duas feminas singulis viris; duas vestes diversorum colorum Sisarae in praedam; unam, duas texturas discolores collo meo in praedam”.
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 Sic pereant omnes inimici tui, Domine! Qui autem diligunt eum, rutilent, sicut sol in ortu suo splendet ”.
32 And the land rested for forty years.	32 Quievitque terra per quadraginta annos.
