Judges 5
1 In that day Debbora and Barac son of Abinoem sung, and said:
Pada hari itu bernyanyilah Debora dan Barak anak Abinoam. Begini katanya:
2 O you of Israel, that have willingly offered your lives to danger, bless the Lord.
Pujilah TUHAN, sebab pahlawan-pahlawan Israel telah bertekad untuk berjuang, dan rakyat dengan rela pergi berperang.
3 Hear, O ye kings, give ear, ye princes: It is I, it is I, that will sing to the Lord, I will sing to the Lord the God of Israel.
Dengarlah hai para raja dan pangeran, aku bernyanyi bagi Allah Israel, yaitu TUHAN.
4 O Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, and passedst by the regions of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped water.
Tatkala Kauberangkat dari Seir, ya TUHAN, dan wilayah Edom Kautinggalkan, bumi bergetar, saluran-saluran langit pun terbuka, dan awan-awan mencurahkan airnya.
5 The mountains melted before the face of the Lord, and Sinai before the face of the Lord the God of Israel.
Gunung-gunung bergoncang di depan penguasa Sinai, di depan TUHAN, Allah Israel.
6 In the days of Samgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jahel the paths rested: and they that went by them, walked through by-ways.
Di masa Samgar, anak Anat, dan di masa Yael juga, tiada kafilah di negeri, tiada kelana di jalan raya.
7 The valiant men ceased, and rested in Israel: until Debbora arose, a mother arose in Israel.
Kota-kota Israel tiada penghuninya, sunyi sepi hingga kaudatang, Debora; kaudatang bagaikan ibu yang tercinta.
8 The Lord chose new wars, and he himself overthrew the gates of the enemies: a shield and spear was not seen among forty thousand of Israel.
Ketika Israel mulai menyembah dewa, pecahlah perang di negeri mereka; di antara empat puluh ribu pahlawan bangsa, tak seorang pun mengangkat senjata.
9 My heart loveth the princes of Israel: O you that of your own good will offered yourselves to danger, bless the Lord.
Kepada para panglima Israel yang menawarkan diri dengan sukarela, kusampaikan penghargaanku yang sedalam-dalamnya. Pujilah TUHAN!
10 Speak, you that ride upon fair asses, and you that sit in judgment, and walk in the way.
Hai kamu yang mengendarai keledai putih, kamu yang duduk di atas permadani, dan kamu semua yang berjalan kaki, kabarkanlah kisah kemenangan ini!
11 Where the chariots were dashed together, and the army of the enemies was choked, there let the justices of the Lord be rehearsed, and his clemency towards the brave men of Israel: then the people of the Lord went down to the gates, and obtained the sovereignty.
Di dekat sumur-sumur terdengar orang ramai berdendang, mengisahkan kemenangan TUHAN berulang-ulang, kemenangan Israel, umat TUHAN. Maka berbarislah mereka menuju ke gerbang kota.
12 Arise, arise, O Debbora, arise, arise, and utter a canticle. Arise, Barac, and take hold of thy captives, O son of Abinoem.
Bangkitlah Debora, dan angkatlah nyanyian. Bangunlah Barak, giringlah para tahanan!
13 The remnants of the people are saved, the Lord hath fought among the valiant ones.
Ksatria yang tersisa datang kepada pemimpinnya, mereka datang, dan siap untuk berjuang bagi-Nya.
14 Out of Ephraim he destroyed them into Amalec, and after him out of Benjamin into thy people, O Amalec: Out of Machir there came down princes, and out of Zabulon they that led the army to fight.
Mereka berjalan dari Efraim ke lembah, mengikuti pasukan Benyamin yang berbaris di depan mereka. Dari Makhir datanglah para panglima, dan dari Zebulon bangkit para perwira.
15 The captains of Issachar were with Debbora, and followed the steps of Barac, who exposed himself to danger, as one going headlong, and into a pit. Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men.
Para pemuka Isakhar datang bersama Debora, ya, Isakhar datang, dan Barak turut juga; mereka mengikuti dia menuruni lembah. Tetapi suku Ruben tak dapat menentukan sikap sebab di antara mereka tak terdapat kata sepakat.
16 Why dwellest thou between two borders, that thou mayest hear the bleatings of the flocks? Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men.
Mengapa mereka tinggal di antara domba-domba? Apakah untuk mendengarkan gembala memanggil ternaknya? Memang suku Ruben tak dapat menentukan sikap sebab di antara mereka tak terdapat kata sepakat.
17 Galaad rested beyond the Jordan, and Dan applied himself to ships: Aser dwelt on the sea shore, and abode in the havens.
Sementara Zebulon dan Naftali berjuang sengit di medan perang, suku Dan bercokol di kapal, dan suku Gad tetap tinggal di timur Yordan, sedangkan suku Asyer tenang-tenang dan tak mau menyingkir dari tempat mereka di sepanjang pesisir.
18 But Zabulon and Nephtali offered their lives to death in the region of Merome.
19 The kings came and fought, the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanach by the waters of Mageddo, and yet they took no spoils.
Di Taanakh, dekat sungai di Megido, raja-raja berperang, raja-raja Kanaan berjuang, tapi perak tak ada yang mereka bawa sebagai jarahan.
20 War from heaven was made against them, the stars remaining in their order and courses fought against Sisara.
Bintang-bintang juga turut berjuang melawan Sisera, dari tempat peredaran mereka di angkasa.
21 The torrent of Cison dragged their carcasses, the torrent of Cadumim, the torrent of Cisoii: tread thou, my soul, upon the strong ones.
Sungai Kison meluap-luap menghanyutkan seteru. Maju, majulah dengan perkasa, hai jiwaku!
22 The hoofs of the horses were broken whilst the stoutest of the enemies fled amain, and fell headlong down.
Dengan laju menderaplah telapak-telapak kuda yang dipacu oleh pengendaranya.
23 Curse ye the land of Meroz, said the angel of the Lord: curse the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to help his most valiant men.
"Kutuklah Meros, dan penghuninya," kata Malaikat TUHAN "sebab mereka tidak datang memberi bantuan sebagai pahlawan yang berjuang untuk TUHAN."
24 Blessed among women be Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, and blessed be she in her tent.
Beruntunglah Yael, istri Heber orang Keni; dari semua penghuni kemah, dialah yang paling diberkati.
25 He asked her water and she gave him milk, and offered him butter in a dish fit for princes.
Sisera minta air, tapi ia memberikan susu kepadanya, disajikannya susu dalam mangkuk yang pantas untuk raja-raja.
26 She put her left hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman’s hammer, and she struck Sisara, seeking in his head a place for the wound, and strongly piercing through his temples.
Dengan pasak dan martil di tangannya Yael memukul Sisera sampai hancur kepalanya.
27 At her feet he fell: he fainted, and he died: he rolled before her feet, and he lay lifeless and wretched.
Di kaki Yael ia rebah tak bernyawa tergeletak di tanah menemui ajalnya.
28 His mother looked out at a window, and howled: and she spoke from the dining room: Why is his chariot so long in coming back? Why are the feet of his horses so slow?
Dari ruji-ruji jendela ibu Sisera memandang, dan berkata, "Mengapa keretanya, tak kunjung tiba, mengapa tak terdengar derap kudanya?"
29 One that was wiser than the rest of his wives, returned this answer to her mother in law:
Yang terarif di antara dayang-dayangnya memberi jawaban yang telah ditemukannya sendiri dalam hatinya:
30 Perhaps he is now dividing the spoils, and the fairest of the women is chosen out for him: garments of divers colours are given to Sisara for his prey, and furniture of different kinds is heaped together to adorn the necks.
"Mereka sedang membagi-bagi barang rampasan, untuk tiap prajurit, satu atau dua perawan. Untuk Sisera, bahan baju yang paling berharga, untuk ratu, selendang bersulam aneka warna."
31 So let all thy enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love thee shine, as the sun shineth in his rising. And the land rested for forty years.
Semoga musuh-musuh-Mu, ya TUHAN, tewas seperti Sisera, tetapi semua sahabat-Mu jaya bagaikan surya di angkasa! Setelah itu, tentramlah negeri itu empat puluh tahun lamanya.
