< Judges 5 >

1 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
E cantou Debora e Barac, filho de Abinoam, n'aquelle mesmo dia, dizendo:
2 “Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, LORD!
Porquanto os chefes se pozeram á frente em Israel, porquanto o povo se offereceu voluntariamente, louvae ao Senhor
3 “Hear, you kings! Give ear, you princes! I, even I, will sing to the LORD. I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.
Ouvi, reis; dae ouvidos, principes: eu, eu cantarei ao Senhor; psalmodiarei ao Senhor Deus de Israel.
4 “LORD, when you went out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the sky also dropped. Yes, the clouds dropped water.
Ó Senhor, saindo tu de Seir, caminhando tu desde o campo de Edon, a terra estremeceu; até os céus gotejaram: até as nuvens gotejaram aguas.
5 The mountains quaked at the LORD’s presence, even Sinai at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Os montes se derreteram diante do Senhor, e até Sinai diante do Senhor Deus de Israel.
6 “In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through byways.
Nos dias de Samgar, filho d'Anath, nos dias de Jael cessaram os caminhos de se percorrerem: e os que andavam por veredas iam por caminhos torcidos.
7 The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother in Israel.
Cessaram as aldeias em Israel, cessaram: até que eu, Debora, me levantei, por mãe em Israel me levantei.
8 They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
E se escolhia deuses novos, logo a guerra estava ás portas: via-se por isso escudo ou lança entre quarenta mil em Israel?
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the LORD!
Meu coração é para os legisladores de Israel, que voluntariamente se offereceram entre o povo; louvae ao Senhor.
10 “Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk by the way.
Vós os que cavalgaes sobre jumentas brancas, que vos assentaes em juizo, e que andaes pelo caminho, fallae d'isto.
11 Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they will rehearse the LORD’s righteous acts, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. “Then the LORD’s people went down to the gates.
D'onde se ouve o estrondo dos frecheiros, entre os logares onde se tiram aguas, ali fallae das justiças do Senhor, das justiças que fez ás suas aldeias em Israel: então o povo do Senhor descia ás portas.
12 ‘Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.’
Desperta, desperta, Debora, desperta, desperta, entôa um cantico: levanta-te, Barac, e leva presos a teus prisioneiros, tu, filho d'Abinoam.
13 “Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down. The LORD came down for me against the mighty.
Então o Senhor fez dominar sobre os magnificos entre o povo aos que ficaram de resto: fez-me o Senhor dominar sobre os valentes.
14 Those whose root is in Amalek came out of Ephraim, after you, Benjamin, among your peoples. Governors come down out of Machir. Those who handle the marshal’s staff came out of Zebulun.
De Ephraim saiu a sua raiz contra Amalek: e apoz de ti vinha Benjamin d'entre os teus povos: de Machir e Zebulon desceram os legisladores, passando com o cajado do escriba.
15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah. As was Issachar, so was Barak. They rushed into the valley at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben, there were great resolves of heart.
Tambem os principaes de Issacar, foram com Debora; e como Issacar, assim tambem Barac, foi enviado a pé para o valle: nas correntes de Ruben foram grandes as resoluções do coração.
16 Why did you sit among the sheepfolds? To hear the whistling for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben, there were great searchings of heart.
Porque ficaste tu entre os curraes para ouvires os balidos dos rebanhos? nas correntes de Ruben tiveram grandes esquadrinhações do coração.
17 Gilead lived beyond the Jordan. Why did Dan remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and lived by his creeks.
Gilead se ficou d'além do Jordão, e Dan porque se deteve em navios? Aser se assentou nos portos do mar, e ficou nas suas ruinas.
18 Zebulun was a people that jeopardized their lives to the death; Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
Zebulon é um povo que expoz a sua vida á morte, como tambem Naphtali, nas alturas do campo.
19 “The kings came and fought, then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no plunder of silver.
Vieram reis, pelejaram: então pelejaram os reis de Canaan em Thaanak, junto ás aguas de Megiddo: não tomaram ganho de prata.
20 From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
Desde os céus pelejaram: até as estrellas desde os logares dos seus cursos pelejaram contra Sisera.
21 The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
O ribeiro de Kison os arrastou, aquelle antigo ribeiro, o ribeiro de Kison. Pisaste, ó alma minha, a força.
22 Then the horse hoofs stamped because of the prancing, the prancing of their strong ones.
Então as unhas dos cavallos se despedaçaram: pelo galopar, o galopar dos seus valentes.
23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ said the LORD’s angel. ‘Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they did not come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty.’
Amaldiçoae a Meroz, diz o anjo do Senhor, acremente amaldiçoae aos seus moradores: porquanto não vieram ao soccorro do Senhor, ao soccorro do Senhor com os valorosos.
24 “Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
Bemdita seja sobre as mulheres Jael, mulher d'Heber, o keneo: bemdita seja sobre as mulheres nas tendas.
25 He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
Agua pediu elle, leite lhe deu ella: em taça de principes lhe offereceu manteiga.
26 She put her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer. With the hammer she struck Sisera. She struck through his head. Yes, she pierced and struck through his temples.
Á estaca estendeu a sua mão esquerda, e ao maço dos trabalhadores a sua direita: e matou a Sisera, e rachou-lhe a cabeça, quando lhe pregou e atravessou as fontes.
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he bowed, he fell. Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
Entre os seus pés se en curvou, caiu, ficou estirado: entre os seus pés se encurvou caiu: onde se encurvou ali ficou abatido.
28 “Through the window she looked out, and cried: Sisera’s mother looked through the lattice. ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why do the wheels of his chariots wait?’
A mãe de Sisera olhava pela janella, e exclamava pela grade: Porque tarda em vir o seu carro? porque se demoram os passos dos seus carros?
29 Her wise ladies answered her, Yes, she returned answer to herself,
As mais sabias das suas damas responderam; e até ella se respondia a si mesmo:
30 ‘Have they not found, have they not divided the plunder? A lady, two ladies to every man; to Sisera a plunder of dyed garments, a plunder of dyed garments embroidered, of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the plunder?’
Porventura não achariam e repartiriam despojos? uma ou duas moças a cada homem? para Sisera despojos de varias côres, despojos de varias côres de bordados; de varias cores bordadas de ambas as bandas, para os pescoços do despojo?
31 “So let all your enemies perish, LORD, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.
Assim, ó Senhor, pereçam todos os teus inimigos! porém os que o amam sejam como o sol quando sae na sua força. E socegou a terra quarenta annos.
