Hakim-hakim 5
1 Pada hari itu bernyanyilah Debora dan Barak bin Abinoam, demikian:
Then sang Deborah with Barak the son of Abino'am on that day, saying,
2 Karena pahlawan-pahlawan di Israel siap berperang, karena bangsa itu menawarkan dirinya dengan sukarela, pujilah TUHAN!
When depravity had broken out in Israel, then did the people offer themselves willingly; [therefore] praise 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 kings; give ear, O 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, at thy going forth out of Seir, at thy marching along out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, also the heavens dropped, also the clouds dropped water.
5 gunung-gunung--yakni Sinai--bergoyang di hadapan TUHAN, di hadapan TUHAN, Allah Israel.
The mountains melted away because of the presence of the Lord, yonder Sinai, because of 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 Ja'el, the highways were unoccupied, and those who travelled on roads walked through crooked by-paths.
7 Penduduk pedusunan diam-diam saja di Israel, ya mereka diam-diam, sampai engkau bangkit, Debora, bangkit sebagai ibu di Israel.
Desolate were the open towns in Israel, they were desolate, until that I arose, Deborah, that I arose 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 there war in the gates: was there a shield seen or a spear 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 [belongeth] to the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people: praise 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 in judgment, and ye who walk on the way, utter praise!
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.
[Urged on] by the voice of those who divide [the flocks] between the watering wells, there shall they rehearse the benefits of the Lord, the benefits toward his open towns in Israel; [for] now go down [again] to the gates the people of the Lord.
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! up, Barak, and lead away thy captives, son of Abino'am.
13 Lalu turunlah para bangsawan yang terluput, umat TUHAN turun bagi-Nya sebagai pahlawan.
Then obtained dominion a few that had escaped for the nobles among the people—the Lord gave me 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.
They whose root is out of Ephraim were against 'Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, with thy armies; out of Machir came down lawgivers, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
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; yea Issachar, the support of Barak; into the valley he hastened down in his train; [but] at the streams of Reuben there were great thoughts 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 didst thou sit among the sheepfolds to hear the bleatings of the flocks? At the streams 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.
Gil'ad abode beyond the Jordan; and Dan—why would he tarry in ships? Asher remained on the seashore, and abode near his 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 its life unto death, and Naphtali—on the high places of the [battle] 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.
There came kings, [and] fought, then fought the kings of Canaan, in Ta'anach by the waters of Megiddo: gain of money they took not away.
20 Dari langit berperang bintang-bintang, dari peredarannya mereka memerangi Sisera.
From heaven they fought—the stars in their courses fought against Sissera.
21 Sungai Kison menghanyutkan musuh, Kison, sungai yang terkenal dari dahulu kala itu. --Majulah sekuat tenaga, hai jiwaku! --
The stream of Kishon swept them away, that ancient stream, the stream of Kishon: step along, O my soul, in victorious strength.
22 Ketika itu menderaplah telapak kuda, karena berpacu lari kuda-kudanya.
Then were crushed the hoofs of the horses, through 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, saith the messenger of the Lord, yea, curse ye bitterly its inhabitants; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among 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 [other] women shall be Ja'el the wife of Cheber the Kenite, above [other] women [dwelling] in the tent may 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 dish she brought him cream.
26 Tangannya diulurkannya mengambil patok, tangan kanannya mengambil tukul tukang, ditukulnya Sisera, dihancurkannya kepalanya, diremukkan dan ditembusnya pelipisnya.
Her hand she put forth to the nail, and her right hand to the laborious workmen's hammer; and she hammered Sissera, she struck his head, and crushed and smote through his temple.
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.
Between her feet he bent, he fell, he lay; between her feet he bent, he fell: where he had bent, there he fell down, bereft of life.
28 Dari jendela ibu Sisera menjenguk dan berseru dari tingkap: "Mengapa keretanya tak kunjung datang? Mengapa kereta-keretanya belum kedengaran?"
Out of the window looked and moaned the mother of Sissera, through the lattice, Why tarrieth his chariot so long in coming? why lag the wheels of his chariot?
29 Yang paling bijak di antara dayang-dayangnya menjawabnya, dan ia sendiri juga membalas perkataannya itu:
The wise among her ladies answered her, she also returned a reply 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?"
Will they not find, —divide booty? one maiden, two maidens for every man, a booty of colored garments for Sissera, a booty of colored embroidered garments, colored, double-worked garments round the necks of the captives!
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.
Thus may perish all thy enemies, O Lord; but may those that love him be as the rising of the sun in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
