英語原文
2, 3. The meaning is obscurely seen in our version; it has been better rendered thus, "Praise ye Jehovah; for the free are freed in Israel--the people have willingly offered themselves" [ROBINSON].

11-14. 東方離城稍遠的水井，在亂世是危險之地，但在太平之時卻是眾人歡聚娛樂之所。女詩人期待這首歌能在這如今太平的「打水之處」被傳唱，耶和華的公義作為能在此被人傳述。底波拉於是振奮精神，以合乎時宜的話描述備戰與爭戰，並以詩意的熱情呼召巴拉，將俘虜排列成得勝的隊伍遊行。接著便以讚頌的筆調，列舉那些應命徵兵、或自願效力的支派——住在亞瑪力人之山附近的以法蓮兵丁、便雅憫的一小隊；來自瑪吉——即河西瑪拿西——的「掌權者」，那些英勇的領袖；以及西布倫。
英語原文
11-14. The wells which are at a little distance from towns in the East, are, in unsettled times, places of danger. But in peace they are scenes of pleasant and joyous resort. The poetess anticipates that this song may be sung, and the righteous acts of the Lord rehearsed at these now tranquil "places of drawing water." Deborah now rouses herself to describe, in terms suitable to the occasion, the preparation and the contest, and calls in a flight of poetic enthusiasm on Barak to parade his prisoners in triumphal procession. Then follows a eulogistic enumeration of the tribes which raised the commanded levy, or volunteered their services--the soldiers of Ephraim who dwelt near the mount of the Amalekites, the small quota of Benjamin; "the governors," valiant leaders "out of Machir," the western Manasseh; out of Zebulun.

英語原文
15. Then comes a reproachful notice of the tribes which did not obey the summons to take the field against the common enemy of Israel. By the
divisions--that is, the watercourses which descend from the eastern hills unto the Jordan and Dead Sea.
For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart--They felt the patriotic impulse and determined, at first, to join the ranks of their western brethren, but resiled from the purpose, preferring their peaceful shepherd songs to the trumpet sound of war.

17, 18. 基列人住在約旦河外——即迦得支派和瑪拿西半支派，都樂於安然居住在他們的哈倭特雅珥——即「帳棚之村」——之中；而但和亞設這兩個沿海的支派，卻繼續留在他們的船隻和「海口」（「港口」）裡。對這些怯懦支派的記述

英語原文
21. the river of Kishon swept them away--The enemy was defeated near "the waters of Megiddo"--the sources and side streams of the Kishon: they that fled had to cross the deep and marshy bed of the torrent, but the Lord had sent a heavy rain--the waters suddenly rose--the warriors fell into the quicksands, and sinking deep into them, were drowned or washed into the sea [VAN DE VELDE].

英語原文
30. to every man a damsel or two--Young maidens formed always a valued part of Oriental conquerors' war-spoils. But Sisera's mother wished other booty for him; namely, the gold-threaded, richly embroidered, and scarlet-colored cloaks which were held in such high esteem. The ode concludes with a wish in keeping with the pious and patriotic character of the prophetess.
