英文原文

11-14. 东方离城稍远的水井，在乱世是危险之地，但在太平之时却是众人欢聚娱乐之所。女诗人期待这首歌能在这如今太平的「打水之处」被传唱，耶和华的公义作为能在此被人传述。底波拉于是振奋精神，以合乎时宜的话描述备战与争战，并以诗意的热情呼召巴拉，将俘虏排列成得胜的队伍游行。接着便以赞颂的笔调，列举那些应命征兵、或自愿效力的支派——住在亚玛力人之山附近的以法莲兵丁、便雅悯的一小队；来自玛吉——即河西玛拿西——的「掌权者」，那些英勇的领袖；以及西布伦。
英文原文
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.

英文原文
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. 基列人安居在约旦河外——即迦得和河东的玛拿西半支派选择安逸地住在他们的哈倭特睚珥——即「帐棚之村」——之中；而但和亚设这两个沿海支派则继续留在他们的船只和「缺口」（即「港湾」）旁。对这些怯懦支派的提及
（士5:18）
之后，又以新的赞颂之辞称许西布伦和拿弗他利作结。
英文原文
17, 18. Gilead abode beyond Jordan--that is, Both Gad and the eastern half to Manasseh chose to dwell at ease in their Havoth-jair, or "villages of tents," while Dan and Asher, both maritime tribes, continued with their ships and in their "breaches" ("havens"). The mention of these craven tribes

英文原文
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].

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.
