Judges 5
1 At that time Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, made this song, saying:
Pada hari itu bernyanyilah Debora dan Barak bin Abinoam, demikian:
2 Because of the flowing hair of the fighters in Israel, because the people gave themselves freely, give praise to the Lord.
Karena pahlawan-pahlawan di Israel siap berperang, karena bangsa itu menawarkan dirinya dengan sukarela, pujilah TUHAN!
3 Give attention, O kings; give ear, O rulers; I, even I, will make a song to the Lord; I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel.
Dengarlah, ya raja-raja! Pasanglah telingamu, ya pemuka-pemuka! Kalau aku, aku mau bernyanyi bagi TUHAN, bermazmur bagi TUHAN, Allah Israel.
4 Lord, when you went out from Seir, moving like an army from the field of Edom, the earth was shaking and the heavens were troubled, and the clouds were dropping water.
TUHAN, ketika Engkau bergerak dari Seir, ketika Engkau melangkah maju dari daerah Edom, bergoncanglah bumi, tirislah juga langit, juga awan tiris airnya;
5 The mountains were shaking before the Lord, before the Lord, the God of Israel.
gunung-gunung--yakni Sinai--bergoyang di hadapan TUHAN, di hadapan TUHAN, Allah Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were not used, and travellers went by side roads.
Dalam zaman Samgar bin Anat, dalam zaman Yael, kafilah tidak ada lagi dan orang-orang yang dalam perjalanan terpaksa menempuh jalan yang berbelit-belit.
7 Country towns were no more in Israel, were no more, till you, Deborah, came up, till you came up as a mother in Israel.
Penduduk pedusunan diam-diam saja di Israel, ya mereka diam-diam, sampai engkau bangkit, Debora, bangkit sebagai ibu di Israel.
8 They had no one to make arms, there were no more armed men in the towns; was there a body-cover or a spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Ketika orang memilih allah baru, maka terjadilah perang di pintu gerbang. Sesungguhnya, perisai ataupun tombak tidak terlihat di antara empat puluh ribu orang di Israel.
9 Come, you rulers of Israel, you who gave yourselves freely among the people: give praise to the Lord.
Hatiku tertuju kepada para panglima Israel, kepada mereka yang menawarkan dirinya dengan sukarela di antara bangsa itu. Pujilah TUHAN!
10 Let them give thought to it, who go on white asses, and those who are walking on the road.
Kamu, yang menunggang keledai betina putih, kamu, yang duduk di atas permadani, kamu, yang berjalan di jalan, ceriterakanlah hal itu!
11 Give ear to the women laughing by the water-springs; there they will give again the story of the upright acts of the Lord, all the upright acts of his arm in Israel.
Di tempat-tempat penimbaan air, menurut suara orang-orang yang berdendang, di sanalah orang menyanyikan perbuatan TUHAN yang adil, perbuatan-Nya yang adil terhadap orang-orang-Nya di pedusunan di Israel. Pada waktu itu turunlah umat TUHAN ke pintu gerbang.
12 Awake! awake! Deborah: awake! awake! give a song: Up! Barak, and take prisoner those who took you prisoner, O son of Abinoam.
Bangunlah, bangunlah, Debora! Bangunlah, bangunlah, nyanyikanlah suatu nyanyian! Bangkitlah, Barak! dan giringlah tawananmu, hai anak Abinoam!
13 Then the chiefs went down to the doors; the Lord's people went down among the strong ones.
Lalu turunlah para bangsawan yang terluput, umat TUHAN turun bagi-Nya sebagai pahlawan.
14 Out of Ephraim they came down into the valley; after you, Benjamin, among your tribesmen; from Machir came down the captains, and from Zebulun those in whose hand is the ruler's rod.
Dari suku Efraim mereka datang ke lembah, mengikuti engkau, ya suku Benyamin, dengan laskarmu; dari suku Makhir turunlah para panglima dan dari suku Zebulon orang-orang pembawa tongkat pengerah.
15 Your chiefs, Issachar, were with Deborah; and Naphtali was true to Barak; into the valley they went rushing out at his feet. In Reuben there were divisions, and great searchings of heart.
Juga para pemimpin suku Isakhar menyertai Debora, dan seperti Isakhar, demikianlah Naftali menyertai Barak. Mereka menyusul dia dan menyerbu masuk lembah. Tetapi pihak pasukan-pasukan suku Ruben ada banyak pertimbangan.
16 Why did you keep quiet among the sheep, hearing nothing but the watchers piping to the flocks?
Mengapa engkau tinggal duduk di antara kandang-kandang sambil mendengarkan seruling pemanggil kawanan? Di pihak pasukan-pasukan suku Ruben ada banyak pertimbangan!
17 Gilead was living over Jordan; and Dan was waiting in his ships; Asher kept in his place by the sea's edge, living by his inlets.
Orang Gilead tinggal diam di seberang sungai Yordan; dan suku Dan, mengapa mereka tinggal dekat kapal-kapal? Suku Asyer duduk di tepi pantai laut, tinggal diam di teluk-teluknya.
18 It was the people of Zebulun who put their lives in danger, even to death, with Naphtali on the high places of the field.
Tetapi suku Zebulon ialah bangsa yang berani mempertaruhkan nyawanya, demikian juga suku Naftali, di tempat-tempat tinggi di padang.
19 The kings came on to the fight, the kings of Canaan were warring; in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: they took no profit in money.
Raja-raja datang dan berperang, pada waktu itu raja-raja Kanaan berperang dekat Taanakh, pada mata air di Megido, tetapi perak sebagai rampasan tidak diperoleh mereka.
20 The stars from heaven were fighting; from their highways they were fighting against Sisera.
Dari langit berperang bintang-bintang, dari peredarannya mereka memerangi Sisera.
21 The river Kishon took them violently away, stopping their flight, the river Kishon. Give praise, O my soul, to the strength of the Lord!
Sungai Kison menghanyutkan musuh, Kison, sungai yang terkenal dari dahulu kala itu. --Majulah sekuat tenaga, hai jiwaku! --
22 Then loudly the feet of the horses were sounding with the stamping, the stamping of their war-horses.
Ketika itu menderaplah telapak kuda, karena berpacu lari kuda-kudanya.
23 A curse, a curse on Meroz! said the angel of the Lord. A bitter curse on her townspeople! Because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among the strong ones.
"Kutukilah kota Meros!" firman Malaikat TUHAN, "kutukilah habis-habisan penduduknya, karena mereka tidak datang membantu TUHAN, membantu TUHAN sebagai pahlawan."
24 Blessings be on Jael, more than on all women! Blessings greater than on any in the tents!
Diberkatilah Yael, isteri Heber, orang Keni itu, melebihi perempuan-perempuan lain, diberkatilah ia, melebihi perempuan-perempuan yang di dalam kemah.
25 His request was for water, she gave him milk; she put butter before him on a fair plate.
Air diminta orang itu, tetapi susu diberikannya; dalam cawan yang indah disuguhkannya dadih.
26 She put out her hand to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workman's hammer; and she gave Sisera a blow, crushing his head, wounding and driving through his brow.
Tangannya diulurkannya mengambil patok, tangan kanannya mengambil tukul tukang, ditukulnya Sisera, dihancurkannya kepalanya, diremukkan dan ditembusnya pelipisnya.
27 Bent at her feet he went down, he was stretched out; bent at her feet he went down; where he was bent down, there he went down in death.
Dekat kakinya orang itu rebah, tewas tergeletak, dekat kakinya orang itu rebah dan tewas, di tempat ia rebah, di sanalah orang itu tewas, digagahi.
28 Looking out from the window she gave a cry, the mother of Sisera was crying out through the window, Why is his carriage so long in coming? When will the noise of his wheels be sounding?
Dari jendela ibu Sisera menjenguk dan berseru dari tingkap: "Mengapa keretanya tak kunjung datang? Mengapa kereta-keretanya belum kedengaran?"
29 Her wise women gave answer to her, yes, she made answer again to herself,
Yang paling bijak di antara dayang-dayangnya menjawabnya, dan ia sendiri juga membalas perkataannya itu:
30 Are they not getting, are they not parting the goods among them: a young girl or two to every man; and to Sisera robes of coloured needlework, worked in fair colours on this side and on that, for the neck of the queen?
"Bukankah mereka mendapat jarahan dan membagi-baginya, gadis seorang dua untuk setiap orang jarahan kain berwarna sehelai dua untuk Sisera, jarahan kain sulaman aneka warna sehelai dua untuk leherku?"
31 So may destruction come on all your haters, O Lord; but let your lovers be like the sun going out in his strength. And for forty years the land had peace.
Demikianlah akan binasa segala musuh-Mu, ya TUHAN! Tetapi orang yang mengasihi-Nya bagaikan matahari terbit dalam kemegahannya. Lalu amanlah negeri itu empat puluh tahun lamanya.
