Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah, and Barak, son of Abinoam, —on that day, saying: —
Pada hari itu bernyanyilah Debora dan Barak anak Abinoam. Begini katanya:
2 For the leadership of leaders in Israel, For the volunteering of the people, —Bless ye Yahweh!
Pujilah TUHAN, sebab pahlawan-pahlawan Israel telah bertekad untuk berjuang, dan rakyat dengan rela pergi berperang.
3 Hear, ye kings! Give ear, ye princes! I, unto Yahweh, —I, will sing, Will make melody to Yahweh, God of Israel.
Dengarlah hai para raja dan pangeran, aku bernyanyi bagi Allah Israel, yaitu TUHAN.
4 O Yahweh! When thou didst come forth out of Seir, When thou didst march along out of the field of Edom, Earth, trembled, Heaven also, poured forth, —Yea, dark clouds, poured forth waters;
Tatkala Kauberangkat dari Seir, ya TUHAN, dan wilayah Edom Kautinggalkan, bumi bergetar, saluran-saluran langit pun terbuka, dan awan-awan mencurahkan airnya.
5 From, mountains, came down streams In presence of Yahweh, —From this Sinai, In presence of Yahweh, God of Israel.
Gunung-gunung bergoncang di depan penguasa Sinai, di depan TUHAN, Allah Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the roads were forsaken, —and, the frequenters of highways, betook them to roundabout paths:
Di masa Samgar, anak Anat, dan di masa Yael juga, tiada kafilah di negeri, tiada kelana di jalan raya.
7 There was a failure of rulers, in Israel, a failure, —until I arose, a Deborah, arose, a mother in Israel: —
Kota-kota Israel tiada penghuninya, sunyi sepi hingga kaudatang, Debora; kaudatang bagaikan ibu yang tercinta.
8 They chose gods that were new, Then, —war at the gates! Was there, a shield, to be seen? or a spear? 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 [saith] —for the governors of Israel, for the volunteers among the people, Bless ye Yahweh!
Kepada para panglima Israel yang menawarkan diri dengan sukarela, kusampaikan penghargaanku yang sedalam-dalamnya. Pujilah TUHAN!
10 Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on carpets, and ye that walk upon the road, speak!
Hai kamu yang mengendarai keledai putih, kamu yang duduk di atas permadani, dan kamu semua yang berjalan kaki, kabarkanlah kisah kemenangan ini!
11 In the place of the noise of bowmen among the wells, there, laud ye—the righteous acts of Yahweh, the righteous acts of his rule over Israel. Then, had come down to the gates the people of Yahweh.
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 words of song, —Arise! Barak, and bind fast thy captives, O son of Abinoam!
Bangkitlah Debora, dan angkatlah nyanyian. Bangunlah Barak, giringlah para tahanan!
13 Then, came down a remnant to the nobles—a people, —Yahweh, came down with me against the mighty.
Ksatria yang tersisa datang kepada pemimpinnya, mereka datang, dan siap untuk berjuang bagi-Nya.
14 Out of Ephraim, [came down] they whose root was in Amalek, After thee, Benjamin, among thy tribes, —Out of Machir, had come down governors, And, out of Zebulun, such as bear aloft the staff of the marshal;
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, my princes in Issachar, were with Deborah, yea, Issachar, was the support of Barak, Into the vale rushed they forth at his feet. Among the divisions of Reuben, great were the resolves of the 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 Wherefore abodes thou among the folds? To hear the mocking of the flocks? The divisions of Reuben, had great counsellings 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, beyond the Jordan, took his rest, but, Dan, wherefore remained he with the ships? Asher, abode by the shore of the seas, and, by his creeks, must needs rest.
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—a people that scorned their souls unto death; and, Naphtali, —upon the heights of the field.
19 On came kings, they fought, Then, fought the kings of Canaan, In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo, —Plunder of silver, they took not away!
Di Taanakh, dekat sungai di Megido, raja-raja berperang, raja-raja Kanaan berjuang, tapi perak tak ada yang mereka bawa sebagai jarahan.
20 From heaven, was the battle fought, —The stars in their courses, fought against Sisera.
Bintang-bintang juga turut berjuang melawan Sisera, dari tempat peredaran mereka di angkasa.
21 The torrent of Kishon, swept them away, the torrent of olden times, the torrent of Kishon! Let my soul march along, with victorious strength!
Sungai Kison meluap-luap menghanyutkan seteru. Maju, majulah dengan perkasa, hai jiwaku!
22 Then, stamped hoofs of horses, With the gallopings, gallopings of his mighty steeds.
Dengan laju menderaplah telapak-telapak kuda yang dipacu oleh pengendaranya.
23 Curse ye Meroz, saith the messenger of Yahweh, Curse ye with a curse, the inhabitants thereof, —because they came not in to the help of Yahweh, to the help of Yahweh, 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 be Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite, —Above women in the tent, be blessed:
Beruntunglah Yael, istri Heber orang Keni; dari semua penghuni kemah, dialah yang paling diberkati.
25 Water, he asked, Milk, she gave, —In a bowl for nobles, presented cream:
Sisera minta air, tapi ia memberikan susu kepadanya, disajikannya susu dalam mangkuk yang pantas untuk raja-raja.
26 Her hand, to the tent-pin, put she forth, and, her right hand, to the toilers’ mallet, —Then smote she Sisera, She shattered his head, Yea she split open and pierced through his temples:
Dengan pasak dan martil di tangannya Yael memukul Sisera sampai hancur kepalanya.
27 Between her feet, he bowed—he fell, he lay, —Between her feet, he bowed—he fell, Where he bowed, There, he fell—destroyed!
Di kaki Yael ia rebah tak bernyawa tergeletak di tanah menemui ajalnya.
28 Through the window, looked out and shrilly cried, The mother of Sisera, through the lattice, —Why is his chariot ashamed to come? Why delay the wheels of his chariot?
Dari ruji-ruji jendela ibu Sisera memandang, dan berkata, "Mengapa keretanya, tak kunjung tiba, mengapa tak terdengar derap kudanya?"
29 The wise ladies, her princesses, responded, —Nay! she, returned answer to, herself: —
Yang terarif di antara dayang-dayangnya memberi jawaban yang telah ditemukannya sendiri dalam hatinya:
30 Is it not They keep finding—dividing spoil, One damsel, two damsels, to every several hero, Spoil, of divers coloured raiment for Sisera, Spoil, of divers coloured raiment, embroidered, Coloured raiment richly embroidered, on the necks of them who are taken as 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, perish all thine enemies, O Yahweh, But be, they who love him, as the going forth of the sun, 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.
