Judges 5
1 On that day, Deborah sang this song, along with Barak:
E cantou deborah e Barac, filho de Abinoam, naquele mesmo dia, dizendo:
2 “When the leaders of the Israeli people really lead them, and the people follow them, [it is time to] praise Yahweh!
Porquanto os chefes se puseram à frente em Israel, porquanto o povo se ofereceu voluntariamente, louvai ao Senhor
3 Listen, you kings! Pay attention, you leaders! I will sing to Yahweh. With this song I will praise Yahweh, the God we Israelis worship.
Ouvi, reis; dai ouvidos, príncipes: eu, eu cantarei ao Senhor; salmodiarei ao Senhor Deus de Israel.
4 O Yahweh, when you came from Seir, when you marched from that land [better known as] Edom, the earth shook, and rain poured down from the skies.
Ó Senhor, saindo tu de Seir, caminhando tu desde o campo de Edon, a terra estremeceu; até os céus gotejaram: até as nuvens gotejaram águas.
5 The mountains shook when you came, just like Sinai Mountain shook when you appeared there, because you are Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship.
Os montes se derreteram diante do Senhor, e até Sinai diante do Senhor Deus de Israel.
6 “When Shamgar was our leader and when Jael ruled us, [we were afraid to walk on] the main roads; instead, caravans of travelers walked on winding [less traveled] roads [to avoid being molested].
Nos dias de Samgar, filho de Anath, nos dias de Jael cessaram os caminhos de se percorrerem: e os que andavam por veredas iam por caminhos torcidos.
7 People left their small villages, [and moved into the walled cities] until I, Deborah, became their leader. [I became like] a mother to the Israeli people.
Cessaram as aldeias em Israel, cessaram: até que eu, deborah, me levantei, por mãe em Israel me levantei.
8 When the Israeli people [abandoned Yahweh and] chose new gods, enemies attacked the gates of the cities, and then [they took away] the shields and spears from 40,000 Israeli soldiers. Not one shield or spear was left.
E se escolhia deuses novos, logo a guerra estava às portas: via-se por isso escudo ou lança entre quarenta mil em Israel?
9 I am thankful for the leaders and soldiers who volunteered [to fight]. Praise Yahweh [for them!]
Meu coração é para os legisladores de Israel, que voluntariamente se ofereceram entre o povo; louvai ao Senhor.
10 “You wealthy people who ride on donkeys, sitting on nice padded saddles, and you people who just walk on the road, you all listen!
Vós os que cavalgais sobre jumentas brancas, que vos assentais em juízo, e que andais pelo caminho, falai disto.
11 Listen to the voices of the singers who gather at the places where [the animals drink] water. They tell about how Yahweh acted righteously when he enabled the Israeli warriors to conquer [their enemies]. “Yahweh’s people marched down to the gates of our city.
De onde se ouve o estrondo dos flecheiros, entre os lugares onde se tiram águas, ali falai das justiças do Senhor, das justiças que fez às suas aldeias em Israel: então o povo do Senhor descia às portas.
12 The people came to my house and shouted, ‘Deborah, wake up! Wake up and start singing!’ They also shouted, ‘Barak, son of Abinoam, get up, and capture our enemies!’
Desperta, desperta, deborah, desperta, desperta, entôa um cântico: levanta-te, Barac, e leva presos a teus prisioneiros, tu, filho de Abinoam.
13 Later, some of the Israeli people came down [from Tabor Mountain] with us, their leaders. These men who belonged to Yahweh came with me to fight their strong enemies.
Então o Senhor fez dominar sobre os magníficos entre o povo aos que ficaram de resto: fêz-me o Senhor dominar sobre os valentes.
14 Some came from the tribe descended from Ephraim. They came from land that once belonged to the descendants of Amalek. And men from the tribe descended from Benjamin followed them. Troops from the group descended from Makir also came down, and officers from the tribe descended from Zebulun came down, carrying staffs.
De Ephraim saiu a sua raiz contra Amalek: e após de ti vinha Benjamin dentre os teus povos: de Machir e Zebulon desceram os legisladores, passando com o cajado do escriba.
15 Leaders from the tribes descended from Issachar joined Barak and me. They followed Barak, rushing down into the valley. But men from the tribe descended from Reuben could not decide whether or not to join us.
Também os principais de Issacar, foram com deborah; e como Issacar, assim também Barac, foi enviado a pé para o vale: nas correntes de Ruben foram grandes as resoluções do coração.
16 Why did you men stay at your sheep pens, waiting to hear the shepherds whistle for their flocks of sheep to come to the pens? Men in the tribe descended from Reuben could not decide whether they would join us to fight our enemies, or not.
Porque ficaste tu entre os currais para ouvires os balidos dos rebanhos? nas correntes de Ruben tiveram grandes esquadrinhações do coração.
17 Similarly, the men living in the Gilead area stayed at home, east of the Jordan River. And the men from the tribe descended from Dan, why did they stay home? The tribe descended from Asher sat by the seashore. They stayed in their coves.
Gilead se ficou de além do Jordão, e Dan porque se deteve em navios? Aser se assentou nos portos do mar, e ficou nas suas ruínas.
18 But men from the tribe descended from Zebulun risked (their lives/were ready to die fighting) on the battlefield, and men descended from Naphtali were ready to do that, also.
Zebulon é um povo que expôs a sua vida à morte, como também Naphtali, nas alturas do campo.
19 “The kings of Canaan fought us at Taanach, near the springs in Megiddo [Valley]. [But since they did not defeat us], they did not carry away any silver or other treasures from the battle.
Vieram reis, pelejaram: então pelejaram os reis de Canaan em Thaanak, junto às águas de Megiddo: não tomaram ganho de prata.
20 [It was as though] the stars in the sky fought for us [and as though] those stars in their paths fought against Sisera.
Desde os céus pelejaram: até as estrelas desde os lugares dos seus cursos pelejaram contra Sisera.
21 The Kishon River swept them away— that river that has been there for ages. I will tell myself to be brave and continue marching on.
O ribeiro de Kison os arrastou, aquele antigo ribeiro, o ribeiro de Kison. Pisaste, ó alma minha, a força.
22 The hooves of the horses of Sisera’s [army] pounded the ground. Those powerful horses kept galloping along.
Então as unhas dos cavalos se despedaçaram: pelo galopar, o galopar dos seus valentes.
23 The angel sent by Yahweh said, ‘Curse the people of Meroz [town], because they did not come to help Yahweh to defeat the mighty warriors [of Canaan].’
Amaldiçoai a Meroz, diz o anjo do Senhor, acremente amaldiçoai aos seus moradores: porquanto não vieram ao socorro do Senhor, ao socorro do Senhor com os valorosos.
24 “But God is very pleased with Jael, the wife of Heber from the Ken people-group. He is more pleased with her than with all the other women who live in tents.
Bendita seja sobre as mulheres Jael, mulher de Heber, o keneu: bendita seja sobre as mulheres nas tendas.
25 Sisera asked for some water, but Jael gave him some milk. She brought him some yogurt/curds in a bowl that was suitable for kings.
água pediu ele, leite lhe deu ela: em taça de príncipes lhe ofereceu manteiga.
26 Then, [when he was asleep], she reached for a tent peg with her left hand, and she reached for a hammer with her right hand. She hit Sisera hard with it and crushed his head. She pounded the tent peg right through his head.
Á estaca estendeu a sua mão esquerda, e ao maço dos trabalhadores a sua direita: e matou a Sisera, e rachou-lhe a cabeça, quando lhe pregou e atravessou as fontes.
27 He collapsed and fell dead at her feet.
Entre os seus pés se encurvou, caiu, ficou estirado: entre os seus pés se encurvou caiu: onde se encurvou ali ficou abatido.
28 “Sisera’s mother looked out from her window. She waited for him to return. She said, ‘Why is he taking so long to come home in his chariot? Why don’t I hear the sound of the wheels of his chariot?’
A mãe de Sisera olhava pela janela, e exclamava pela grade: Porque tarda em vir o seu carro? porque se demoram os passos dos seus carros?
29 One wise woman replied to her, and she [kept consoling herself by] repeating those words:
As mais sabias das suas damas responderam; e até ela se respondia a si mesmo:
30 ‘Perhaps they are dividing up the things and the people they captured after the battle. Each soldier will get one or two women. Sisera will get some beautiful robes, and some beautiful embroidered robes for me.’
Porventura não achariam e repartiriam despojos? uma ou duas moças a cada homem? para Sisera despojos de várias cores, despojos de várias cores de bordados; de várias cores bordadas de ambas as bandas, para os pescoços do despojo?
31 But [that is not what happened]! Yahweh, I hope that all your enemies will die as Sisera did! And I desire that all those who love you will be as strong as the sun when it rises!
Assim, ó Senhor, pereçam todos os teus inimigos! porém os que o amam sejam como o sol quando sai na sua força. E sossegou a terra quarenta anos.
