Hakim-hakim 5
1 Pada hari itu bernyanyilah Debora dan Barak bin Abinoam, demikian:
In that day Debbora and Barac son of Abinoem sung, and said:
2 Karena pahlawan-pahlawan di Israel siap berperang, karena bangsa itu menawarkan dirinya dengan sukarela, pujilah TUHAN!
O you of Israel, that have willingly offered your lives to danger, bless the Lord.
3 Dengarlah, ya raja-raja! Pasanglah telingamu, ya pemuka-pemuka! Kalau aku, aku mau bernyanyi bagi TUHAN, bermazmur bagi TUHAN, Allah Israel.
Hear, O ye kings, give ear, ye princes: It is I, it is I, that will sing to the Lord, I will sing to the Lord the God of Israel.
4 TUHAN, ketika Engkau bergerak dari Seir, ketika Engkau melangkah maju dari daerah Edom, bergoncanglah bumi, tirislah juga langit, juga awan tiris airnya;
O Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, and passedst by the regions of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped water.
5 gunung-gunung--yakni Sinai--bergoyang di hadapan TUHAN, di hadapan TUHAN, Allah Israel.
The mountains melted before the face of the Lord, and Sinai before the face of the Lord the God of Israel.
6 Dalam zaman Samgar bin Anat, dalam zaman Yael, kafilah tidak ada lagi dan orang-orang yang dalam perjalanan terpaksa menempuh jalan yang berbelit-belit.
In the days of Samgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jahel the paths rested: and they that went by them, walked through by-ways.
7 Penduduk pedusunan diam-diam saja di Israel, ya mereka diam-diam, sampai engkau bangkit, Debora, bangkit sebagai ibu di Israel.
The valiant men ceased, and rested in Israel: until Debbora arose, a mother arose in Israel.
8 Ketika orang memilih allah baru, maka terjadilah perang di pintu gerbang. Sesungguhnya, perisai ataupun tombak tidak terlihat di antara empat puluh ribu orang di Israel.
The Lord chose new wars, and he himself overthrew the gates of the enemies: a shield and spear was not seen among forty thousand of Israel.
9 Hatiku tertuju kepada para panglima Israel, kepada mereka yang menawarkan dirinya dengan sukarela di antara bangsa itu. Pujilah TUHAN!
My heart loveth the princes of Israel: O you that of your own good will offered yourselves to danger, bless the Lord.
10 Kamu, yang menunggang keledai betina putih, kamu, yang duduk di atas permadani, kamu, yang berjalan di jalan, ceriterakanlah hal itu!
Speak, you that ride upon fair asses, and you that sit in judgment, and walk in the way.
11 Di tempat-tempat penimbaan air, menurut suara orang-orang yang berdendang, di sanalah orang menyanyikan perbuatan TUHAN yang adil, perbuatan-Nya yang adil terhadap orang-orang-Nya di pedusunan di Israel. Pada waktu itu turunlah umat TUHAN ke pintu gerbang.
Where the chariots were dashed together, and the army of the enemies was choked, there let the justices of the Lord be rehearsed, and his clemency towards the brave men of Israel: then the people of the Lord went down to the gates, and obtained the sovereignty.
12 Bangunlah, bangunlah, Debora! Bangunlah, bangunlah, nyanyikanlah suatu nyanyian! Bangkitlah, Barak! dan giringlah tawananmu, hai anak Abinoam!
Arise, arise, O Debbora, arise, arise, and utter a canticle. Arise, Barac, and take hold of thy captives, O son of Abinoem.
13 Lalu turunlah para bangsawan yang terluput, umat TUHAN turun bagi-Nya sebagai pahlawan.
The remnants of the people are saved, the Lord hath fought among the valiant ones.
14 Dari suku Efraim mereka datang ke lembah, mengikuti engkau, ya suku Benyamin, dengan laskarmu; dari suku Makhir turunlah para panglima dan dari suku Zebulon orang-orang pembawa tongkat pengerah.
Out of Ephraim he destroyed them into Amalec, and after him out of Benjamin into thy people, O Amalec: Out of Machir there came down princes, and out of Zabulon they that led the army to fight.
15 Juga para pemimpin suku Isakhar menyertai Debora, dan seperti Isakhar, demikianlah Naftali menyertai Barak. Mereka menyusul dia dan menyerbu masuk lembah. Tetapi pihak pasukan-pasukan suku Ruben ada banyak pertimbangan.
The captains of Issachar were with Debbora, and followed the steps of Barac, who exposed himself to danger, as one going headlong, and into a pit. Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men.
16 Mengapa engkau tinggal duduk di antara kandang-kandang sambil mendengarkan seruling pemanggil kawanan? Di pihak pasukan-pasukan suku Ruben ada banyak pertimbangan!
Why dwellest thou between two borders, that thou mayest hear the bleatings of the flocks? Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men.
17 Orang Gilead tinggal diam di seberang sungai Yordan; dan suku Dan, mengapa mereka tinggal dekat kapal-kapal? Suku Asyer duduk di tepi pantai laut, tinggal diam di teluk-teluknya.
Galaad rested beyond the Jordan, and Dan applied himself to ships: Aser dwelt on the sea shore, and abode in the havens.
18 Tetapi suku Zebulon ialah bangsa yang berani mempertaruhkan nyawanya, demikian juga suku Naftali, di tempat-tempat tinggi di padang.
But Zabulon and Nephtali offered their lives to death in the region of Merome.
19 Raja-raja datang dan berperang, pada waktu itu raja-raja Kanaan berperang dekat Taanakh, pada mata air di Megido, tetapi perak sebagai rampasan tidak diperoleh mereka.
The kings came and fought, the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanach by the waters of Mageddo, and yet they took no spoils.
20 Dari langit berperang bintang-bintang, dari peredarannya mereka memerangi Sisera.
War from heaven was made against them, the stars remaining in their order and courses fought against Sisara.
21 Sungai Kison menghanyutkan musuh, Kison, sungai yang terkenal dari dahulu kala itu. --Majulah sekuat tenaga, hai jiwaku! --
The torrent of Cison dragged their carcasses, the torrent of Cadumim, the torrent of Cisoii: tread thou, my soul, upon the strong ones.
22 Ketika itu menderaplah telapak kuda, karena berpacu lari kuda-kudanya.
The hoofs of the horses were broken whilst the stoutest of the enemies fled amain, and fell headlong down.
23 "Kutukilah kota Meros!" firman Malaikat TUHAN, "kutukilah habis-habisan penduduknya, karena mereka tidak datang membantu TUHAN, membantu TUHAN sebagai pahlawan."
Curse ye the land of Meroz, said the angel of the Lord: curse the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to help his most valiant men.
24 Diberkatilah Yael, isteri Heber, orang Keni itu, melebihi perempuan-perempuan lain, diberkatilah ia, melebihi perempuan-perempuan yang di dalam kemah.
Blessed among women be Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, and blessed be she in her tent.
25 Air diminta orang itu, tetapi susu diberikannya; dalam cawan yang indah disuguhkannya dadih.
He asked her water and she gave him milk, and offered him butter in a dish fit for princes.
26 Tangannya diulurkannya mengambil patok, tangan kanannya mengambil tukul tukang, ditukulnya Sisera, dihancurkannya kepalanya, diremukkan dan ditembusnya pelipisnya.
She put her left hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman’s hammer, and she struck Sisara, seeking in his head a place for the wound, and strongly piercing through his temples.
27 Dekat kakinya orang itu rebah, tewas tergeletak, dekat kakinya orang itu rebah dan tewas, di tempat ia rebah, di sanalah orang itu tewas, digagahi.
At her feet he fell: he fainted, and he died: he rolled before her feet, and he lay lifeless and wretched.
28 Dari jendela ibu Sisera menjenguk dan berseru dari tingkap: "Mengapa keretanya tak kunjung datang? Mengapa kereta-keretanya belum kedengaran?"
His mother looked out at a window, and howled: and she spoke from the dining room: Why is his chariot so long in coming back? Why are the feet of his horses so slow?
29 Yang paling bijak di antara dayang-dayangnya menjawabnya, dan ia sendiri juga membalas perkataannya itu:
One that was wiser than the rest of his wives, returned this answer to her mother in law:
30 "Bukankah mereka mendapat jarahan dan membagi-baginya, gadis seorang dua untuk setiap orang jarahan kain berwarna sehelai dua untuk Sisera, jarahan kain sulaman aneka warna sehelai dua untuk leherku?"
Perhaps he is now dividing the spoils, and the fairest of the women is chosen out for him: garments of divers colours are given to Sisara for his prey, and furniture of different kinds is heaped together to adorn the necks.
31 Demikianlah akan binasa segala musuh-Mu, ya TUHAN! Tetapi orang yang mengasihi-Nya bagaikan matahari terbit dalam kemegahannya. Lalu amanlah negeri itu empat puluh tahun lamanya.
So let all thy enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love thee shine, as the sun shineth in his rising. And the land rested for forty years.
