Hakim-hakim 5
1 Pada hari itu bernyanyilah Debora dan Barak bin Abinoam, demikian:
Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
2 Karena pahlawan-pahlawan di Israel siap berperang, karena bangsa itu menawarkan dirinya dengan sukarela, pujilah TUHAN!
“Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, LORD!
3 Dengarlah, ya raja-raja! Pasanglah telingamu, ya pemuka-pemuka! Kalau aku, aku mau bernyanyi bagi TUHAN, bermazmur bagi TUHAN, Allah Israel.
“Hear, you kings! Give ear, you princes! I, even I, will sing to the LORD. 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 you went out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the sky also dropped. Yes, the clouds dropped water.
5 gunung-gunung--yakni Sinai--bergoyang di hadapan TUHAN, di hadapan TUHAN, Allah Israel.
The mountains quaked at the LORD’s presence, even 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 were unoccupied. 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 I, Deborah, arose; Until 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 war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen amongst 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 towards the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly amongst the people. 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 who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk by 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.
Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they will rehearse the LORD’s righteous acts, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. “Then the LORD’s people 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 away your captives, you son of Abinoam.’
13 Lalu turunlah para bangsawan yang terluput, umat TUHAN turun bagi-Nya sebagai pahlawan.
“Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down. The LORD came down for me against 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.
Those whose root is in Amalek came out of Ephraim, after you, Benjamin, amongst your peoples. Governors come down out of Machir. Those who handle the marshal’s staff came out of Zebulun.
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 princes of Issachar were with Deborah. As was Issachar, so was Barak. They rushed into the valley at his feet. By the watercourses 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 did you sit amongst the sheepfolds? To hear the whistling for the flocks? At the watercourses 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 lived beyond the Jordan. Why did Dan remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and lived by his creeks.
18 Tetapi suku Zebulon ialah bangsa yang berani mempertaruhkan nyawanya, demikian juga suku Naftali, di tempat-tempat tinggi di padang.
Zebulun was a people that jeopardised their lives to the death; Naphtali also, on 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 and fought, then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no plunder of silver.
20 Dari langit berperang bintang-bintang, dari peredarannya mereka memerangi Sisera.
From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
21 Sungai Kison menghanyutkan musuh, Kison, sungai yang terkenal dari dahulu kala itu. --Majulah sekuat tenaga, hai jiwaku! --
The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
22 Ketika itu menderaplah telapak kuda, karena berpacu lari kuda-kudanya.
Then the horse hoofs stamped because of the prancing, the prancing of their strong ones.
23 "Kutukilah kota Meros!" firman Malaikat TUHAN, "kutukilah habis-habisan penduduknya, karena mereka tidak datang membantu TUHAN, membantu TUHAN sebagai pahlawan."
‘Curse Meroz,’ said the LORD’s angel. ‘Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they didn’t come to help the LORD, to help 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.
“Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 Air diminta orang itu, tetapi susu diberikannya; dalam cawan yang indah disuguhkannya dadih.
He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
26 Tangannya diulurkannya mengambil patok, tangan kanannya mengambil tukul tukang, ditukulnya Sisera, dihancurkannya kepalanya, diremukkan dan ditembusnya pelipisnya.
She put her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer. With the hammer she struck Sisera. She struck through his head. Yes, 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 bowed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he bowed, he fell. Where he bowed, 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 out, and cried: Sisera’s mother looked through the lattice. ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why do the wheels of his chariots wait?’
29 Yang paling bijak di antara dayang-dayangnya menjawabnya, dan ia sendiri juga membalas perkataannya itu:
Her wise ladies answered her, Yes, she returned 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?"
‘Have they not found, have they not divided the plunder? A lady, two ladies to every man; to Sisera a plunder of dyed garments, a plunder of dyed garments embroidered, of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the plunder?’
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 your enemies perish, LORD, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.
