Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah, and Barak the sonne of Abinoam the same day, saying,
Pada hari itu bernyanyilah Debora dan Barak anak Abinoam. Begini katanya:
2 Praise ye the Lord for the auenging of Israel, and for the people that offred themselues willingly.
Pujilah TUHAN, sebab pahlawan-pahlawan Israel telah bertekad untuk berjuang, dan rakyat dengan rela pergi berperang.
3 Heare, ye Kings, hearken ye princes: I, euen I will sing vnto the Lord: I will sing praise vnto the Lord God of Israel.
Dengarlah hai para raja dan pangeran, aku bernyanyi bagi Allah Israel, yaitu TUHAN.
4 Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou departedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heauens rained, the cloudes also 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 mountaines melted before the Lord, as did that Sinai before the Lord God of Israel.
Gunung-gunung bergoncang di depan penguasa Sinai, di depan TUHAN, Allah Israel.
6 In the dayes of Shamgar the sonne of Anath, in the dayes of Iael the hie wayes were vnoccupied, and the trauelers walked through by wayes.
Di masa Samgar, anak Anat, dan di masa Yael juga, tiada kafilah di negeri, tiada kelana di jalan raya.
7 The townes were not inhabited: they decayed, I say, in Israel, vntill I Deborah came vp, which rose vp a mother in Israel.
Kota-kota Israel tiada penghuninya, sunyi sepi hingga kaudatang, Debora; kaudatang bagaikan ibu yang tercinta.
8 They chose new gods: then was warre in the gates. Was there a shielde or speare seene among fourtie 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 Mine heart is set on the gouernours of Israel, and on them that are willing among the people: praise ye the Lord.
Kepada para panglima Israel yang menawarkan diri dengan sukarela, kusampaikan penghargaanku yang sedalam-dalamnya. Pujilah TUHAN!
10 Speake ye that ride on white asses, yee that dwel by Middin, and that walke by 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 For the noyse of the archers appaised among the drawers of water: there shall they rehearse the righteousnesse of the Lord, his righteousnesse of his townes in Israel: then did the people of the Lord goe downe to the gates.
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 Vp Deborah, vp, arise, and sing a song: arise Barak, and leade thy captiuitie captiue, thou sonne of Abinoam.
Bangkitlah Debora, dan angkatlah nyanyian. Bangunlah Barak, giringlah para tahanan!
13 For they that remaine, haue dominio ouer the mightie of the people: the Lord hath giuen me dominion ouer the strong.
Ksatria yang tersisa datang kepada pemimpinnya, mereka datang, dan siap untuk berjuang bagi-Nya.
14 Of Ephraim their roote arose against Amalek: and after thee, Beniamin shall fight against thy people, O Amalek: of Machir came rulers, and of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
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 And the Princes of Issachar were with Deborah, and Issachar, and also Barak: he was set on his feete in the valley: for the diuisions of Reuben were great thoughts of heart.
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 abodest thou among the sheepefolds, to heare the bleatings of the flockes? for the diuisions of Reuben were great thoughts of heart.
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 Gilead abode beyonde Iorden: and why doeth Dan remayne in shippes? Asher sate on the sea shoare, and taryed in his decayed places.
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 the people of Zebulun and Naphtali haue ieopard their liues vnto the death in the hie places of the field.
19 The Kings came and fought: then fought the Kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: they receiued no gaine of money.
Di Taanakh, dekat sungai di Megido, raja-raja berperang, raja-raja Kanaan berjuang, tapi perak tak ada yang mereka bawa sebagai jarahan.
20 They fought from heauen, euen the starres in their courses fought against Sisera.
Bintang-bintang juga turut berjuang melawan Sisera, dari tempat peredaran mereka di angkasa.
21 The Riuer Kishon swepe them away, that ancient riuer the riuer Kishon. O my soule, thou hast marched valiantly.
Sungai Kison meluap-luap menghanyutkan seteru. Maju, majulah dengan perkasa, hai jiwaku!
22 Then were the horsehooues broken with the oft beating together of their mightie men.
Dengan laju menderaplah telapak-telapak kuda yang dipacu oleh pengendaranya.
23 Curse ye Meroz: (sayd the Angel of the Lord) curse the inhabitantes thereof, because they came not to helpe the Lord, to helpe the Lord against the mighty.
"Kutuklah Meros, dan penghuninya," kata Malaikat TUHAN "sebab mereka tidak datang memberi bantuan sebagai pahlawan yang berjuang untuk TUHAN."
24 Iael the wife of Heber the Kenite shall be blessed aboue other women: blessed shall she be aboue women dwelling in tentes.
Beruntunglah Yael, istri Heber orang Keni; dari semua penghuni kemah, dialah yang paling diberkati.
25 He asked water, and shee gaue him milke: she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
Sisera minta air, tapi ia memberikan susu kepadanya, disajikannya susu dalam mangkuk yang pantas untuk raja-raja.
26 She put her hand to the naile, and her right hand to the workemans hammer: with the hammer smote she Sisera: she smote off his head, after she had wounded, and pearsed his temples.
Dengan pasak dan martil di tangannya Yael memukul Sisera sampai hancur kepalanya.
27 He bowed him downe at her feete, he fell downe, and lay still: at her feete hee bowed him downe, and fell: and when he had sunke downe, he lay there dead.
Di kaki Yael ia rebah tak bernyawa tergeletak di tanah menemui ajalnya.
28 The mother of Sisera looked out at a windowe, and cryed thorowe the lattesse, Why is his charet so long a comming? why tary the wheeles of his charets?
Dari ruji-ruji jendela ibu Sisera memandang, dan berkata, "Mengapa keretanya, tak kunjung tiba, mengapa tak terdengar derap kudanya?"
29 Her wise ladies answered her, Yea. Shee answered her selfe with her owne wordes,
Yang terarif di antara dayang-dayangnya memberi jawaban yang telah ditemukannya sendiri dalam hatinya:
30 Haue they not gotten, and they deuide the spoyle? euery man hath a mayde or two. Sisera hath a praye of diuers coloured garmentes, a pray of sundry colours made of needle worke: of diuers colours of needle worke on both sides, for the chiefe of the spoyle.
"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 thine enemies perish, O Lord: but they that loue him, shall be as the Sunne when he riseth in his might, and the lande had rest fourtie yeres.
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.
