Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
Pada hari itu bernyanyilah Debora dan Barak anak Abinoam. Begini katanya:
2 Praise all of you the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
Pujilah TUHAN, sebab pahlawan-pahlawan Israel telah bertekad untuk berjuang, dan rakyat dengan rela pergi berperang.
3 Hear, O all of you kings; give ear, O all of you princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.
Dengarlah hai para raja dan pangeran, aku bernyanyi bagi Allah Israel, yaitu TUHAN.
4 LORD, when you went out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds 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 mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.
Gunung-gunung bergoncang di depan penguasa Sinai, di depan TUHAN, Allah Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.
Di masa Samgar, anak Anat, dan di masa Yael juga, tiada kafilah di negeri, tiada kelana di jalan raya.
7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose 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 war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in 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 is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless all of you the LORD.
Kepada para panglima Israel yang menawarkan diri dengan sukarela, kusampaikan penghargaanku yang sedalam-dalamnya. Pujilah TUHAN!
10 Speak, all of you that ride on white asses, all of you that sit in judgment, and walk 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 They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down 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 Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead your captivity captive, you son of Abinoam.
Bangkitlah Debora, dan angkatlah nyanyian. Bangunlah Barak, giringlah para tahanan!
13 Then he made him that remains have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
Ksatria yang tersisa datang kepada pemimpinnya, mereka datang, dan siap untuk berjuang bagi-Nya.
14 Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after you, Benjamin, among your people; out of Machir came down governors, and out 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; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there 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 abode you among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings 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 beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
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 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeopardized their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
19 The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain 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 heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Bintang-bintang juga turut berjuang melawan Sisera, dari tempat peredaran mereka di angkasa.
21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, you have trodden down strength.
Sungai Kison meluap-luap menghanyutkan seteru. Maju, majulah dengan perkasa, hai jiwaku!
22 Then were the horse-hoofs broken by the means of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
Dengan laju menderaplah telapak-telapak kuda yang dipacu oleh pengendaranya.
23 Curse all of you Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse all of you bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of 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 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
Beruntunglah Yael, istri Heber orang Keni; dari semua penghuni kemah, dialah yang paling diberkati.
25 He asked water, and she gave him milk; 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 nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she stroke Sisera, she stroke off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.
Dengan pasak dan martil di tangannya Yael memukul Sisera sampai hancur kepalanya.
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
Di kaki Yael ia rebah tak bernyawa tergeletak di tanah menemui ajalnya.
28 The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
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, she returned answer to herself,
Yang terarif di antara dayang-dayangnya memberi jawaban yang telah ditemukannya sendiri dalam hatinya:
30 Have they not succeeded? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?
"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 of your enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goes forth in his might. And the land had rest 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.
