< Hakim-hakim 5 >
1 Pada hari itu bernyanyilah Debora dan Barak bin Abinoam, demikian:
Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying:
2 Karena pahlawan-pahlawan di Israel siap berperang, karena bangsa itu menawarkan dirinya dengan sukarela, pujilah TUHAN!
When men let grow their hair in Israel, when the people offer themselves willingly, bless ye 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, O ye princes; I, unto the LORD will I sing; I will sing praise 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;
LORD, when Thou didst go forth out of Seir, when Thou didst march out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, yea, the clouds dropped water.
5 gunung-gunung--yakni Sinai--bergoyang di hadapan TUHAN, di hadapan TUHAN, Allah Israel.
The mountains quaked at the presence of the LORD, even yon Sinai at the presence 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 Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways ceased, and the travellers walked through byways.
7 Penduduk pedusunan diam-diam saja di Israel, ya mereka diam-diam, sampai engkau bangkit, Debora, bangkit sebagai ibu di Israel.
The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, until that thou didst arise, Deborah, that thou didst arise a mother 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.
They chose new gods; then was war in the gates; was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 Hatiku tertuju kepada para panglima Israel, kepada mereka yang menawarkan dirinya dengan sukarela di antara bangsa itu. Pujilah TUHAN!
My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
10 Kamu, yang menunggang keledai betina putih, kamu, yang duduk di atas permadani, kamu, yang berjalan di jalan, ceriterakanlah hal itu!
Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on rich cloths, and ye that walk by the way, tell of it;
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.
Louder than the voice of archers, by the watering-troughs! there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts of His rulers in Israel. Then the people of the LORD went down to the gates.
12 Bangunlah, bangunlah, Debora! Bangunlah, bangunlah, nyanyikanlah suatu nyanyian! Bangkitlah, Barak! dan giringlah tawananmu, hai anak Abinoam!
Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song; arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13 Lalu turunlah para bangsawan yang terluput, umat TUHAN turun bagi-Nya sebagai pahlawan.
Then made He a remnant to have dominion over the nobles and the people; the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
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 came they whose root is in Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the marshal's staff.
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.
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; as was Issachar, so was Barak; into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. Among the divisions of Reuben there were great resolves of heart.
16 Mengapa engkau tinggal duduk di antara kandang-kandang sambil mendengarkan seruling pemanggil kawanan? Di pihak pasukan-pasukan suku Ruben ada banyak pertimbangan!
Why sattest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the pipings for the flocks? At the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
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.
Gilead abode beyond the Jordan; and Dan, why doth he sojourn by the ships? Asher dwelt at the shore of the sea, and abideth by its bays.
18 Tetapi suku Zebulon ialah bangsa yang berani mempertaruhkan nyawanya, demikian juga suku Naftali, di tempat-tempat tinggi di padang.
Zebulun is a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, and Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.
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, they fought; then fought the kings of Canaan, in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
20 Dari langit berperang bintang-bintang, dari peredarannya mereka memerangi Sisera.
They fought from heaven, the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 Sungai Kison menghanyutkan musuh, Kison, sungai yang terkenal dari dahulu kala itu. --Majulah sekuat tenaga, hai jiwaku! --
The brook Kishon swept them away, that ancient brook, the brook Kishon. O my soul, tread them down with strength.
22 Ketika itu menderaplah telapak kuda, karena berpacu lari kuda-kudanya.
Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
23 "Kutukilah kota Meros!" firman Malaikat TUHAN, "kutukilah habis-habisan penduduknya, karena mereka tidak datang membantu TUHAN, membantu TUHAN sebagai pahlawan."
'Curse ye Meroz', said the angel of the LORD, 'Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.'
24 Diberkatilah Yael, isteri Heber, orang Keni itu, melebihi perempuan-perempuan lain, diberkatilah ia, melebihi perempuan-perempuan yang di dalam kemah.
Blessed above women shall Jael be, the wife of Heber the Kenite, above women in the tent shall she be blessed.
25 Air diminta orang itu, tetapi susu diberikannya; dalam cawan yang indah disuguhkannya dadih.
Water he asked, milk she gave him; in a lordly bowl she brought him curd.
26 Tangannya diulurkannya mengambil patok, tangan kanannya mengambil tukul tukang, ditukulnya Sisera, dihancurkannya kepalanya, diremukkan dan ditembusnya pelipisnya.
Her hand she put to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote through his head, yea, she pierced and struck 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 sunk, he fell, he lay; at her feet he sunk, he fell; where he sunk, there he fell down dead.
28 Dari jendela ibu Sisera menjenguk dan berseru dari tingkap: "Mengapa keretanya tak kunjung datang? Mengapa kereta-keretanya belum kedengaran?"
Through the window she looked forth, and peered, the mother of Sisera, through the lattice: 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29 Yang paling bijak di antara dayang-dayangnya menjawabnya, dan ia sendiri juga membalas perkataannya itu:
The wisest of her princesses answer her, yea, she returneth answer to herself:
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?"
'Are they not finding, are they not dividing the spoil? A damsel, two damsels to every man; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments of embroidery, two dyed garments of broidery for the neck of every spoiler?'
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 perish all Thine enemies, O LORD; but they that love Him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
