< Juízes 5 >
1 E cantou Debora e Barac, filho de Abinoam, n'aquelle mesmo dia, dizendo:
In that day Debbora and Barac son of Abinoem sung, and said:
2 Porquanto os chefes se pozeram á frente em Israel, porquanto o povo se offereceu voluntariamente, louvae ao Senhor
O you of Israel, that have willingly offered your lives to danger, bless the Lord.
3 Ouvi, reis; dae ouvidos, principes: eu, eu cantarei ao Senhor; psalmodiarei ao Senhor Deus de 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 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.
O Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, and passedst by the regions of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped water.
5 Os montes se derreteram diante do Senhor, e até Sinai diante do Senhor Deus de Israel.
The mountains melted before the face of the Lord, and Sinai before the face of the Lord the God of Israel.
6 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.
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 Cessaram as aldeias em Israel, cessaram: até que eu, Debora, me levantei, por mãe em Israel me levantei.
The valiant men ceased, and rested in Israel: until Debbora arose, a mother arose in Israel.
8 E se escolhia deuses novos, logo a guerra estava ás portas: via-se por isso escudo ou lança entre quarenta mil em 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 Meu coração é para os legisladores de Israel, que voluntariamente se offereceram entre o povo; louvae ao Senhor.
My heart loveth the princes of Israel: O you that of your own good will offered yourselves to danger, bless the Lord.
10 Vós os que cavalgaes sobre jumentas brancas, que vos assentaes em juizo, e que andaes pelo caminho, fallae d'isto.
Speak, you that ride upon fair asses, and you that sit in judgment, and walk in the way.
11 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.
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 Desperta, desperta, Debora, desperta, desperta, entôa um cantico: levanta-te, Barac, e leva presos a teus prisioneiros, tu, filho d'Abinoam.
Arise, arise, O Debbora, arise, arise, and utter a canticle. Arise, Barac, and take hold of thy captives, O son of Abinoem.
13 Então o Senhor fez dominar sobre os magnificos entre o povo aos que ficaram de resto: fez-me o Senhor dominar sobre os valentes.
The remnants of the people are saved, the Lord hath fought among the valiant ones.
14 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.
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 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.
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 Porque ficaste tu entre os curraes para ouvires os balidos dos rebanhos? nas correntes de Ruben tiveram grandes esquadrinhações do coração.
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 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.
Galaad rested beyond the Jordan, and Dan applied himself to ships: Aser dwelt on the sea shore, and abode in the havens.
18 Zebulon é um povo que expoz a sua vida á morte, como tambem Naphtali, nas alturas do campo.
But Zabulon and Nephtali offered their lives to death in the region of Merome.
19 Vieram reis, pelejaram: então pelejaram os reis de Canaan em Thaanak, junto ás aguas de Megiddo: não tomaram ganho de prata.
The kings came and fought, the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanach by the waters of Mageddo, and yet they took no spoils.
20 Desde os céus pelejaram: até as estrellas desde os logares dos seus cursos pelejaram contra Sisera.
War from heaven was made against them, the stars remaining in their order and courses fought against Sisara.
21 O ribeiro de Kison os arrastou, aquelle antigo ribeiro, o ribeiro de Kison. Pisaste, ó alma minha, a força.
The torrent of Cison dragged their carcasses, the torrent of Cadumim, the torrent of Cisoii: tread thou, my soul, upon the strong ones.
22 Então as unhas dos cavallos se despedaçaram: pelo galopar, o galopar dos seus valentes.
The hoofs of the horses were broken whilst the stoutest of the enemies fled amain, and fell headlong down.
23 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.
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 Bemdita seja sobre as mulheres Jael, mulher d'Heber, o keneo: bemdita seja sobre as mulheres nas tendas.
Blessed among women be Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, and blessed be she in her tent.
25 Agua pediu elle, leite lhe deu ella: em taça de principes lhe offereceu manteiga.
He asked her water and she gave him milk, and offered him butter in a dish fit for princes.
26 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.
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 Entre os seus pés se en curvou, caiu, ficou estirado: entre os seus pés se encurvou caiu: onde se encurvou ali ficou abatido.
At her feet he fell: he fainted, and he died: he rolled before her feet, and he lay lifeless and wretched.
28 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?
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 As mais sabias das suas damas responderam; e até ella se respondia a si mesmo:
One that was wiser than the rest of his wives, returned this answer to her mother in law:
30 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?
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 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.
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.
