Judges 5
1 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ସନ୍ତାନଗଣ ଯେଉଁଦିନ ସୀଷରାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପରାସ୍ତ କଲେ। ସହେିଦିନ ଦବୋରା ଓ ବାରକ୍ ଅବୀନୋଯମର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଏହି ସଂଗୀତ ଗାନ କଲେ।
2 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ପୁରୁଷମାନେ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ ପାଇଁ ପ୍ରସ୍ତକ୍ସ୍ଟତ ହେଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସୂତସ୍ପୃତ ଭାବରେ ନିଜକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ ପାଇଁ ଉତ୍ସର୍ଗ କଲେ। ଏଥିପାଇଁ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଧନ୍ଯବାଦ କର।
3 ହେ, ରାଜଗଣ ଶକ୍ସ୍ଟଣ, ହେ ଭୂପତି କ'ଣ କର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଡରେ। ମୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ଉଦ୍ଦେଶ୍ଯ ରେ ଗାନ କରିବି। ମୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ସଂଗୀତ ରଚନା କରିବି। ମୁ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କର ପ୍ରଶଂସା ଗାନ କରିବି।
4 ହେ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପ୍ରଥମେ ସଯେୀରରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ବାହାରିଲା ବେଳେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଇଦୋମ କ୍ଷେତ୍ରରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟାତ୍ରା କଲା ବେଳେ ପୃଥିବୀ କଐିଲା। ଆକାଶ ବିନ୍ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପାତ କଲା ମେଘମାଳା ଜଳପାତ କଲା।
5 ପର୍ବତମାନ କଐମାନ ହେଲା ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖ ରେ। ସୀନଯ ପର୍ବତ ମଧ୍ଯ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖ ରେ କଐନ କଲା!
6 ସହେିଦିନ ଅନାତ୍ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଶମଗର ସମୟରେ ଏବଂ ୟାଯଲେ ସମୟରେ ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖ୍ଯ ରାସ୍ତାଗକ୍ସ୍ଟଡିକ ଜନଶୂନ୍ଯ ହେଲା। ବପୋରୀମାନେ ପଥଗ୍ଭରିମାନେ ବକ୍ର ଉପ ପଥ ଦଇେ ଗମନ କଲେ।
7 ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ମଧିଅରେ ଶାସନ କର୍ତ୍ତାଗଣ ଶୂନ୍ଯ ଥିଲେ। ମୁ ଦବୋର ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ କରିବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ମୁ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ରେ ମାତୃତକ୍ସ୍ଟଲ୍ଯ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ କରିବା ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସମାନେେ ଥିଲେ ଶୂନ୍ଯ।
8 ପରମେଶ୍ବର ନୂତନ ନେତାମାନଙ୍କୁ ନଗର ଦ୍ବାରା ରେ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ କରିବାକୁ ମନୋନୀତ କଲେ। ସମଗ୍ର ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର 40,000 ମଧିଅରେ ଏକ ବର୍ଚ୍ଛା ବା ଢାଲ ଦଖାଗେଲା ନାହିଁ।
9 ମାରେ ହୃଦଯ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଆଦେଶକର୍ତ୍ତାଙ୍କଠା ରେ ଅଛି, ୟିଏ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ ପାଇଁ ନିଜ ଇଚ୍ଛା ପ୍ରକାଶ କଲେ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଧନ୍ଯବାଦ କର!
10 ହେ ଶ୍ବତଗେର୍ଦ୍ଧଭୀ-ଆରୋହିମାନେ, ହେ ଗାଲିଗ୍ଭ ରେ ବସିବା ଲୋକମାନେ, ହେ ପଥର ରେ ଗମନକାରୀମାନେ! ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଗାନ କର।

12 ଜାଗ, ଜାଗ, ଦବୋ ରେ! ଜାଗ, ଜାଗ, ଗାନକର! ଜାଗ ବରାକ୍! ୟାଅ ଏବଂ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଶତୃମାନଙ୍କୁ ବନ୍ଦୀକର ଅବୀନୋଯମର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର!
13 ତା'ପରେ ବଞ୍ଚି ରହିୟାଇଥିବା ବ୍ଯକ୍ତିମାନେ ଶକ୍ତିଶାଳୀ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ବିଜଯୀ ହେଲେ, ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଲୋକମାନେ ଶକ୍ତିମାନ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ବିଜଯୀ ହେଲେ।
14 ଇଫ୍ରଯିମର ସନ୍ତାନଗଣ ଆସିଲେ। ଅମାଲକେ ପର୍ବତ ମାଳାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ପେଛ ବିନ୍ଯାମୀନ ଥିଲେ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ଲୋକମାନେ ମଧ୍ଯ ମାଖୀରଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଶାସନକର୍ତ୍ତାମାନେ ସବୁଲୂନ୍ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସୈନ୍ଯଗଣନାକାରୀ ଦଣ୍ତାଧାରମାନେ ଓହ୍ଲାଇ ଆସିଲେ।
15 ଇଷାଖର ଅଧିପତିମାନେ ସବୁ ଦବୋରା ସଙ୍ଗ ରେ ଥିଲେ। ଇଷାଖର ଯମେିତି ବାରକ୍ ମଧ୍ଯ ସମେିତି ଥିଲା। ସମାନେେ ତଳ ଭୂମିଆଡେ ମାଡିଗଲେ। ରୂବନରେ ଷୋର୍ତ ସମକ୍ସ୍ଟହ ଗକ୍ସ୍ଟରକ୍ସ୍ଟତର ମନଭାବନା ହେଲା।
16 ତୁମ୍ଭେ କାହିଁକି? ମଷେଶାଳା ମଧିଅରେ ବସିଲ। ମଷେପଲ ମଧ୍ଯେ ବଂଶୀନାଦ ଶୁଣିବାକୁ, କିଅବା ରୂବନ୍ରେ ସମକ୍ସ୍ଟହଁ ରେ ସୋର୍ତ ମନଭାବନା ହେଲା ଗକ୍ସ୍ଟରକ୍ସ୍ଟତର!
17 ଗିଲିଯଦ ଲୋକମାନେ ୟର୍ଦ୍ଦନ ନଦୀ ସପୋରି ରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଚ୍ଛାଉଣୀ ରେ ବାସ କଲେ। ଆଉ ଦାନ ଜାହାଜଗକ୍ସ୍ଟଡିକରେ କାହିଁକି ରହିଲା? ଆଶରେ ସମକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ର ତୀ ରେ ବସି ରହିଥିଲା। ସେ ନିଜ ବନ୍ଦର ନିକଟରେ ବାସକଲା।

19 କୀଣାନୀଯ ରାଜାମାନେ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ କରିଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ କୌଣସି ସିନ୍ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟକ ପାଇ ନ ଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ତାନକରେ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ କରିଥିଲେ। ମାଗିଦୋର ଜଳତୀରସ୍ଥ ରେ।
20 ତାରାଗଣ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ବିରକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ ରେ ଆକାଶରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ କଲେ। ଆକାଶ ରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପଥରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସମାନେେ ସୀଷରା ବିପକ୍ଷ ରେ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧ କରିଥିଲେ।
21 କୀଶୋନ୍ ନଦୀ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟରକ୍ସ୍ଟଣା ନଦୀ ଭଷାଇ ନଲୋ ସଷେରା ଲୋକ। ହେ ମାରେ ପ୍ରାଣ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ବଳ ରେ ଅଗ୍ରସର ହକ୍ସ୍ଟଅ।
22 ଅଶ୍ବମାନଙ୍କର ଖକ୍ସ୍ଟରା ଭୂମିକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ମନ୍ଥି ପକାଇଲା। ସବରୋ ଘୋଡା କକ୍ସ୍ଟଦାମାରୀ ପଳାଇଲା।
23 ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କର ଦୂତ କହିଗଲେ, ମରେୋସ ଲୋକକୁ ଶାପଦିଅ ଏବଂ ପାପ ଦିଅ! ସମାନଙ୍କେ ସୈନ୍ଯ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କୁ ସାହାୟ୍ଯ କରିବାକୁ ଆସି ତ ନ ଥିଲେ।
24 ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ କନେୀଯ ହବରେ ସ୍ତ୍ରୀ ୟାଯେଲ୍ ଧନ୍ଯ ହବେେ। ତମ୍ବୁ ନିବାସିନୀମାନଙ୍କ ମଧିଅରେ ଧନ୍ଯ ହବେେ।
25 ସୀଷରା ଜଳ ମାଗିଲେ ସେ ତାଙ୍କୁ କ୍ଷୀର ଦେଲେ। ରାଜ ଉପୟକ୍ସ୍ଟକ୍ତ ପାତ୍ର ରେ ଦଧି ଆଣି ତାଙ୍କୁ ଦେଲେ।
26 ୟାଯେଲ୍ ଗୋଟିଏ ହାତ ରେ ମେଖଣା ଧରି ଦକ୍ଷିଣ ହସ୍ତ ରେ ପିଟଣା ଧରି ସୀଷରାର ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଣ୍ତ ଫଟାଇ ଦେଲେ କର୍ଣ୍ଣମୂଳ ରେ ୟାଇ ମେଖଳା ପଶିଲା।
27 ତାହାର ପାଦତଳେ ନଇଁ ପଡିଲା, ପାଦତଳେ ସେ ଲୋଟି ପଡିଲା, ପାଦତଳେ ସେ ଶୋଇ ପଡିଲା। ଯେଉଁଠା ରେ ସେ ଶୋଇ ପଡିଲା ସହେିଠା ରେ ସେ ମଲେ।
28 ସୀଷରାର ମାଁ ଝରକା ପାଖ ରେ ଅପେକ୍ଷା କରୁଥିଲା ଏବଂ ସେ ଜାଲି ଦଇେ ଗ୍ଭହକ୍ସ୍ଟଁଥିଲା। ସେ ଏହା ଚିନ୍ତା କରି କାନ୍ଦକ୍ସ୍ଟଥିଲା, ସୀଷରାର ରଥ ବିଳମ୍ବ କାହିଁକି? ମୁ କାହିଁକି ତଥାପି ତା'ର ରଥ ଶଦ୍ଦ ଶକ୍ସ୍ଟଣି ପାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନାହିଁ?

1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2 Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.
4 Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.
5 The mountains melted from before the Lord, even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.
7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the Lord.
10 Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
11 They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the Lord go down to the gates.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13 Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the Lord made me have dominion over the mighty.
14 Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
16 Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
18 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
19 The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
20 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
22 Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.
23 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty.
24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
26 She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
28 The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
30 Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?
31 So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
1 When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
2 And came even before the king’s gate: for none might enter into the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth.
3 And in every province, whithersoever the king’s commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
4 So Esther’s maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.
5 Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king’s chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.
6 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king’s gate.
7 And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king’s treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
8 Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.
9 And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
10 Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai;
11 All the king’s servants, and the people of the king’s provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
12 And they told to Mordecai Esther’s words.
13 Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews.
14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
15 Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,
16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
17 So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
