1에훗의 죽은 후에 이스라엘 자손이 또 여호와의 목전에 악을 행하매 2여호와께서 하솔에 도읍한 가나안 왕 야빈의 손에 그들을 파셨는데 그 군대 장관은 이방 하로셋에 거하는 시스라요 3야빈 왕은 철병거 구백 승이 있어서 이십 년 동안 이스라엘 자손을 심히 학대한고로 이스라엘 자손이 여호와께 부르짖었더라 4그 때에 랍비돗의 아내 여선지 드보라가 이스라엘의 사사가 되었는데 5그는 에브라임 산지 라마와 벧엘 사이 드보라의 종려나무 아래 거하였고 이스라엘 자손은 그에게 나아가 재판을 받더라 6드보라가 보내어 아비노암의 아들 바락을 납달리 게데스에서 불러다가 그에게 이르되 이스라엘 하나님 여호와께서 이같이 명하지 아니하셨느냐 이르시기를 너는 납달리 자손과 스불론 자손 일만 명을 거느리고 다볼 산으로 가라 7내가 야빈의 군대 장관 시스라와 그 병거들과 그 무리를 기손 강으로 이끌어 네게 이르게 하고 그를 네 손에 붙이리라 하셨느니라 8바락이 그에게 이르되 당신이 나와 함께 가면 내가 가려니와 당신이 나와 함께 가지 아니하면 나는 가지 않겠노라 9가로되 내가 반드시 너와 함께 가리라 그러나 네가 이제 가는 일로는 영광을 얻지 못하리니 이는 여호와께서 시스라를 여인의 손에 파실것임이니라 하고 드보라가 일어나 바락과 함께 게데스로 가니라 10바락이 스불론과 납달리를 게데스로 부르니 일만 인이 그를 따라 올라가고 드보라도 그와 함께 올라가니라 11모세의 장인 호밥의 자손 중 겐 사람 헤벨이 자기 족속을 떠나 게데스에 가까운 사아난님 상수리나무 곁에 이르러 장막을 쳤더라 12아비노암의 아들 바락이 다볼 산에 오른 것을 혹이 시스라에게 고하매 13시스라가 모든 병거 곧 철병거 구백 승과 자기와 함께 있는 온 군사를 이방 하로셋에서부터 기손 강으로 모은지라 14드보라가 바락에게 이르되 일어나라 이는 여호와께서 시스라를 네 손에 붙이신 날이라 여호와께서 너의 앞서 행하지 아니하시느냐 이에 바락이 일만 명을 거느리고 다볼 산에서 내려가니 15여호와께서 바락의 앞에서 시스라와 그 모든 병거와 그 온 군대를 칼날로 쳐서 패하게 하시매 시스라가 병거에서 내려 도보로 도망한지라 16바락이 그 병거들과 군대를 추격하여 이방 하로셋에 이르니 시스라의 온 군대가 다 칼에 엎드러졌고 남은 자가 없었더라 17시스라가 도보로 도망하여 겐사람 헤벨의 아내 야엘의 장막에 이르렀으니 하솔 왕 야빈은 겐 사람 헤벨의 집과 화평이 있음이라 18야엘이 나가 시스라를 영접하며 그에게 말하되 나의 주여 들어오소서 내게로 들어오시고 두려워하지 마소서 하매 그 장막에 들어가니 야엘이 이불로 덮으니라 19시스라가 그에게 말하되 청하노니 내게 물을 조금 마시우라 내가 목이 마르도다 하매 젖부대를 열어 그에게 마시우고 그를 덮으니 20그가 또 가로되 장막문에 섰다가 만일 사람이 와서 네게 묻기를 여기 어떤 사람이 있느냐 하거든 너는 없다 하라 하고 21그가 곤비하여 깊이 잠든지라 헤벨의 아내 야엘이 장막 말뚝을 취하고 손에 방망이를 들고 그에게로 가만히 가서 말뚝을 그 살쩍에 박으매 말뚝이 꿰뚫고 땅에 박히니 시스라가 기절하여 죽으니라 22바락이 시스라를 따를 때에 야엘이 나가서 그를 맞아 가로되 오라 내가 너의 찾는 사람을 네게 보이리라 바락이 그에게 들어가 보니 시스라가 죽어 누웠고 말뚝은 그 살쩍에 박혔더라 23이와 같이 이 날에 하나님이 가나안 왕 야빈을 이스라엘 자손 앞에 패하게 하신지라 24이스라엘 자손의 손이 가나안 왕 야빈을 점점 더 이기어서 마침내 가나안 왕 야빈을 진멸하였더라

1The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, when Ehud was dead. 2Yahweh 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. 3The children of Israel cried to Yahweh: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel. 4Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time. 5She 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. 6She 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? 7I 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.’” 8Barak 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.” 9She 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. 10Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him. 11Now 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. 12They told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to Mount Tabor. 13Sisera 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. 14Deborah 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. 15Yahweh 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. 16But 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. 17However 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. 18Jael 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. 19He 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. 20He 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.’” 21Then 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. 22Behold, 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. 23So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel. 24The hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.

1Maar de kinderen Israels voeren voort te doen, dat kwaad was in de ogen des HEEREN, als Ehud gestorven was. 2Zo verkocht hen de HEERE in de hand van Jabin, koning der Kanaanieten, die te Hazor regeerde; en zijn krijgsoverste was Sisera; dezelve nu woonde in Haroseth der heidenen. 3Toen riepen de kinderen Israels tot den HEERE; want hij had negenhonderd ijzeren wagenen, en hij had de kinderen Israels met geweld onderdrukt, twintig jaren. 4Debora nu, een vrouw, die een profetesse was, de huisvrouw van Lappidoth, deze richtte te dier tijd Israel. 5En zij woonde onder den palmboom van Debora, tussen Rama en tussen Beth-El, op het gebergte van Efraim; en de kinderen Israels gingen op tot haar ten gerichte. 6En zij zond heen en riep Barak, den zoon van Abinoam, van Kedes-Nafthali; en zij zeide tot hem: Heeft de HEERE, de God Israels, niet geboden: Ga heen en trek op den berg Thabor, en neem met u tien duizend man, van de kinderen van Nafthali, en van de kinderen van Zebulon? 7En Ik zal aan de beek Kison tot u trekken Sisera, den krijgsoverste van Jabin, met zijn wagenen en zijn menigte; en Ik zal hem in uw hand geven? 8Toen zeide Barak tot haar: Indien gij met mij trekken zult, zo zal ik heen trekken; maar indien gij niet met mij zult trekken, zo zal ik niet trekken. 9En zij zeide: Ik zal zekerlijk met u trekken, behalve dat de eer de uwe niet zal zijn op dezen weg, dien gij wandelt; want de HEERE zal Sisera verkopen in de hand ener vrouw. Alzo maakte Debora zich op, en toog met Barak naar Kedes. 10Toen riep Barak Zebulon en Nafthali bijeen te Kedes, en hij toog op, op zijn voeten, met tien duizend man; ook toog Debora met hem op. 11Heber nu, de Keniet, had zich afgezonderd van Kain, uit de kinderen van Hobab, Mozes schoonvader; en hij had zijn tenten opgeslagen tot aan den eik in Zaanaim, die bij Kedes is. 12Toen boodschapten zij Sisera, dat Barak, de zoon van Abinoam, op den berg Thabor getogen was. 13Zo riep Sisera al zijn wagenen bijeen, negenhonderd ijzeren wagenen, en al het volk, dat met hem was, van Haroseth der heidenen tot de beek Kison. 14Debora dan zeide tot Barak: Maak u op; want dit is de dag, in welken de HEERE Sisera in uw hand gegeven heeft; is de HEERE niet voor uw aangezicht henen uitgetogen? Zo trok Barak van den berg Thabor af, en tien duizend man achter hem. 15En de HEERE versloeg Sisera, met al zijn wagenen, en het ganse heirleger, door de scherpte de zwaards, voor het aangezicht van Barak; dat Sisera van den wagen afklom, en vluchtte op zijn voeten. 16En Barak jaagde ze na, achter de wagenen en achter het heirleger, tot aan Haroseth der heidenen. En het ganse heirleger van Sisera viel door de scherpte des zwaards, dat er niet overbleef tot een toe. 17Maar Sisera vluchtte op zijn voeten naar de tent van Jael, de huisvrouw van Heber, den Keniet; want er was vrede tussen Jabin, den koning van Hazor, en tussen het huis van Heber, den Keniet. 18Jael nu ging uit, Sisera tegemoet, en zeide tot hem: Wijk in, mijn heer, wijk in tot mij, vrees niet! En hij week tot haar in de tent, en zij bedekte hem met een deken. 19Daarna zeide hij tot haar: Geef mij toch een weinig waters te drinken, want mij dorst. Toen opende zij een melkfles, en gaf hem te drinken, en dekte hem toe. 20Ook zeide hij tot haar: Sta in de deur der tent; en het zij, zo iemand zal komen, en u vragen, en zeggen: Is hier iemand? dat gij zegt: Niemand. 21Daarna nam Jael, de huisvrouw van Heber, een nagel der tent, en greep een hamer in haar hand, en ging stilletjes tot hem in, en dreef den nagel in den slaap zijns hoofds, dat hij in de aarde vast werd; hij nu was met een diepen slaap bevangen en vermoeid, en stierf. 22En ziet, Barak vervolgde Sisera; en Jael ging uit hem tegemoet, en zeide tot hem: Kom, en ik zal u den man wijzen, dien gij zoekt. Zo kwam hij tot haar in, en ziet, Sisera lag dood, en de nagel was in den slaap zijns hoofds. 23Alzo heeft God te dien dage Jabin, den koning van Kanaan, ten ondergebracht, voor het aangezicht der kinderen Israels. 24En de hand der kinderen Israels ging steeds voort, en werd hard over Jabin, den koning van Kanaan, totdat zij Jabin, den koning van Kanaan, hadden uitgeroeid.
