< Judges 5 >

1 On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:
E cantou Debora e Barac, filho de Abinoam, n'aquelle mesmo dia, dizendo:
2 “When the leaders take the lead in Israel, when the people gladly volunteer for war— we praise Yahweh!
Porquanto os chefes se pozeram á frente em Israel, porquanto o povo se offereceu voluntariamente, louvae ao Senhor
3 Listen, you kings! Pay attention, you leaders! I, I will sing to Yahweh; I will sing praises to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
Ouvi, reis; dae ouvidos, principes: eu, eu cantarei ao Senhor; psalmodiarei ao Senhor Deus de Israel.
4 Yahweh, when you went out from Seir, when you marched from Edom, the earth shook, and the skies also trembled; also the clouds poured down water.
Ó Senhor, saindo tu de Seir, caminhando tu desde o campo de Edon, a terra estremeceu; até os céus gotejaram: até as nuvens gotejaram aguas.
5 The mountains quaked before the face of Yahweh; even Mount Sinai quaked before the face of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
Os montes se derreteram diante do Senhor, e até Sinai diante do Senhor Deus de Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar (son of Anath), in the days of Jael, the main roads were abandoned, and those who walked only used the winding paths.
Nos dias de Samgar, filho d'Anath, nos dias de Jael cessaram os caminhos de se percorrerem: e os que andavam por veredas iam por caminhos torcidos.
7 There were few rural people in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose—arose as a mother in Israel!
Cessaram as aldeias em Israel, cessaram: até que eu, Debora, me levantei, por mãe em Israel me levantei.
8 When they chose new gods, there was fighting at the city gates and yet there were no shields or spears seen among forty thousand in Israel.
E se escolhia deuses novos, logo a guerra estava ás portas: via-se por isso escudo ou lança entre quarenta mil em Israel?
9 My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel, along with the people who gladly volunteered— we bless Yahweh for them!
Meu coração é para os legisladores de Israel, que voluntariamente se offereceram entre o povo; louvae ao Senhor.
10 Think about this—you who ride on white donkeys sitting on rugs for saddles, and you who walk along the road.
Vós os que cavalgaes sobre jumentas brancas, que vos assentaes em juizo, e que andaes pelo caminho, fallae d'isto.
11 Hear the voices of those who sing at the watering places. There they tell again of Yahweh's righteous deeds, and the righteous actions of his warriors in Israel. Then the people of Yahweh went down to the city gates.
D'onde se ouve o estrondo dos frecheiros, entre os logares onde se tiram aguas, ali fallae das justiças do Senhor, das justiças que fez ás suas aldeias em Israel: então o povo do Senhor descia ás portas.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Get up, Barak, and capture your prisoners, you son of Abinoam.
Desperta, desperta, Debora, desperta, desperta, entôa um cantico: levanta-te, Barac, e leva presos a teus prisioneiros, tu, filho d'Abinoam.
13 Then the survivors came down to the nobles; the people of Yahweh came down to me with the warriors.
Então o Senhor fez dominar sobre os magnificos entre o povo aos que ficaram de resto: fez-me o Senhor dominar sobre os valentes.
14 They came from Ephraim, whose root is in Amalek; the people of Benjamin followed you. From Machir commanders came down, and from Zebulun those who carry an officer's staff.
De Ephraim saiu a sua raiz contra Amalek: e apoz de ti vinha Benjamin d'entre os teus povos: de Machir e Zebulon desceram os legisladores, passando com o cajado do escriba.
15 My princes in Issachar were with Deborah; and Issachar was with Barak rushing after him into the valley under his command. Among the clans of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
Tambem os principaes de Issacar, foram com Debora; e como Issacar, assim tambem Barac, foi enviado a pé para o valle: nas correntes de Ruben foram grandes as resoluções do coração.
16 Why did you sit between the fireplaces, listening to the shepherds playing their pipes for their flocks? As for the clans of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
Porque ficaste tu entre os curraes para ouvires os balidos dos rebanhos? nas correntes de Ruben tiveram grandes esquadrinhações do coração.
17 Gilead stayed on the other side of the Jordan; and Dan, why did he wander about on ships? Asher remained on the coast and lived close to his harbors.
Gilead se ficou d'além do Jordão, e Dan porque se deteve em navios? Aser se assentou nos portos do mar, e ficou nas suas ruinas.
18 Zebulun was a tribe who would risk their lives to the point of death, and Naphtali, also, on the field of battle.
Zebulon é um povo que expoz a sua vida á morte, como tambem Naphtali, nas alturas do campo.
19 The kings came, they fought; the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. But they took away no silver as plunder.
Vieram reis, pelejaram: então pelejaram os reis de Canaan em Thaanak, junto ás aguas de Megiddo: não tomaram ganho de prata.
20 From heaven the stars fought, from their paths across the heavens they fought against Sisera.
Desde os céus pelejaram: até as estrellas desde os logares dos seus cursos pelejaram contra Sisera.
21 The Kishon River swept them away, that old river, the Kishon River. March on my soul, be strong!
O ribeiro de Kison os arrastou, aquelle antigo ribeiro, o ribeiro de Kison. Pisaste, ó alma minha, a força.
22 Then came the sound of horses' hooves— galloping, the galloping of his mighty ones.
Então as unhas dos cavallos se despedaçaram: pelo galopar, o galopar dos seus valentes.
23 'Curse Meroz!' says the angel of Yahweh. 'Surely curse its inhabitants!— because they did not come to help Yahweh— to help Yahweh in the battle against the mighty warriors.'
Amaldiçoae a Meroz, diz o anjo do Senhor, acremente amaldiçoae aos seus moradores: porquanto não vieram ao soccorro do Senhor, ao soccorro do Senhor com os valorosos.
24 Jael is blessed more than all other women, Jael (the wife of Heber the Kenite), she is more blessed than all the women who live in tents.
Bemdita seja sobre as mulheres Jael, mulher d'Heber, o keneo: bemdita seja sobre as mulheres nas tendas.
25 The man asked for water, and she gave him milk; she brought him butter in a dish fit for princes.
Agua pediu elle, leite lhe deu ella: em taça de principes lhe offereceu manteiga.
26 She put her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workman's hammer; with the hammer she struck Sisera, she crushed his head. She smashed his skull into pieces when she pierced him through the side of 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 between her feet, he fell and he lay there. Between her feet he fell limp. The place he collapsed is where he was violently killed.
Entre os seus pés se en curvou, caiu, ficou estirado: entre os seus pés se encurvou caiu: onde se encurvou ali ficou abatido.
28 Out of a window she looked— the mother of Sisera looked through the lattice and she called out in sadness, 'Why has it taken his chariot so long to come? Why have the hoofbeats of the horses that pull his chariots been delayed?'
A mãe de Sisera olhava pela janella, e exclamava pela grade: Porque tarda em vir o seu carro? porque se demoram os passos dos seus carros?
29 Her wisest princesses replied, and she gave herself the same answer:
As mais sabias das suas damas responderam; e até ella se respondia a si mesmo:
30 'Have they not found and divided up the plunder? —A womb, two wombs for every man; the plunder of dyed fabric for Sisera, the plunder of dyed fabric embroidered, two pieces of dyed fabric embroidered for the necks of those who plunder?'
Porventura não achariam e repartiriam despojos? uma ou duas moças a cada homem? para Sisera despojos de varias côres, despojos de varias côres de bordados; de varias cores bordadas de ambas as bandas, para os pescoços do despojo?
31 So may all your enemies perish, Yahweh! But your friends be like the sun when it rises in its might.” Then the land had peace for forty years.
Assim, ó Senhor, pereçam todos os teus inimigos! porém os que o amam sejam como o sol quando sae na sua força. E socegou a terra quarenta annos.
