Juízes 5
1 E cantou Debora e Barac, filho de Abinoam, n'aquelle mesmo dia, dizendo:
On that day, Deborah sang this song, along with Barak:
2 Porquanto os chefes se pozeram á frente em Israel, porquanto o povo se offereceu voluntariamente, louvae ao Senhor
“When the leaders of the Israeli people really lead them, and the people follow them, [it is time to] praise Yahweh!
3 Ouvi, reis; dae ouvidos, principes: eu, eu cantarei ao Senhor; psalmodiarei ao Senhor Deus de Israel.
Listen, you kings! Pay attention, you leaders! I will sing to Yahweh. With this song I will praise Yahweh, the God we Israelis worship.
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 Yahweh, when you came from Seir, when you marched from that land [better known as] Edom, the earth shook, and rain poured down from the skies.
5 Os montes se derreteram diante do Senhor, e até Sinai diante do Senhor Deus de Israel.
The mountains shook when you came, just like Sinai Mountain shook when you appeared there, because you are Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship.
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.
“When Shamgar was our leader and when Jael ruled us, [we were afraid to walk on] the main roads; instead, caravans of travelers walked on winding [less traveled] roads [to avoid being molested].
7 Cessaram as aldeias em Israel, cessaram: até que eu, Debora, me levantei, por mãe em Israel me levantei.
People left their small villages, [and moved into the walled cities] until I, Deborah, became their leader. [I became like] a mother to the Israeli people.
8 E se escolhia deuses novos, logo a guerra estava ás portas: via-se por isso escudo ou lança entre quarenta mil em Israel?
When the Israeli people [abandoned Yahweh and] chose new gods, enemies attacked the gates of the cities, and then [they took away] the shields and spears from 40,000 Israeli soldiers. Not one shield or spear was left.
9 Meu coração é para os legisladores de Israel, que voluntariamente se offereceram entre o povo; louvae ao Senhor.
I am thankful for the leaders and soldiers who volunteered [to fight]. Praise Yahweh [for them!]
10 Vós os que cavalgaes sobre jumentas brancas, que vos assentaes em juizo, e que andaes pelo caminho, fallae d'isto.
“You wealthy people who ride on donkeys, sitting on nice padded saddles, and you people who just walk on the road, you all listen!
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.
Listen to the voices of the singers who gather at the places where [the animals drink] water. They tell about how Yahweh acted righteously when he enabled the Israeli warriors to conquer [their enemies]. “Yahweh’s people marched down to the gates of our city.
12 Desperta, desperta, Debora, desperta, desperta, entôa um cantico: levanta-te, Barac, e leva presos a teus prisioneiros, tu, filho d'Abinoam.
The people came to my house and shouted, ‘Deborah, wake up! Wake up and start singing!’ They also shouted, ‘Barak, son of Abinoam, get up, and capture our enemies!’
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.
Later, some of the Israeli people came down [from Tabor Mountain] with us, their leaders. These men who belonged to Yahweh came with me to fight their strong enemies.
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.
Some came from the tribe descended from Ephraim. They came from land that once belonged to the descendants of Amalek. And men from the tribe descended from Benjamin followed them. Troops from the group descended from Makir also came down, and officers from the tribe descended from Zebulun came down, carrying staffs.
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.
Leaders from the tribes descended from Issachar joined Barak and me. They followed Barak, rushing down into the valley. But men from the tribe descended from Reuben could not decide whether or not to join us.
16 Porque ficaste tu entre os curraes para ouvires os balidos dos rebanhos? nas correntes de Ruben tiveram grandes esquadrinhações do coração.
Why did you men stay at your sheep pens, waiting to hear the shepherds whistle for their flocks of sheep to come to the pens? Men in the tribe descended from Reuben could not decide whether they would join us to fight our enemies, or not.
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.
Similarly, the men living in the Gilead area stayed at home, east of the Jordan River. And the men from the tribe descended from Dan, why did they stay home? The tribe descended from Asher sat by the seashore. They stayed in their coves.
18 Zebulon é um povo que expoz a sua vida á morte, como tambem Naphtali, nas alturas do campo.
But men from the tribe descended from Zebulun risked (their lives/were ready to die fighting) on the battlefield, and men descended from Naphtali were ready to do that, also.
19 Vieram reis, pelejaram: então pelejaram os reis de Canaan em Thaanak, junto ás aguas de Megiddo: não tomaram ganho de prata.
“The kings of Canaan fought us at Taanach, near the springs in Megiddo [Valley]. [But since they did not defeat us], they did not carry away any silver or other treasures from the battle.
20 Desde os céus pelejaram: até as estrellas desde os logares dos seus cursos pelejaram contra Sisera.
[It was as though] the stars in the sky fought for us [and as though] those stars in their paths fought against Sisera.
21 O ribeiro de Kison os arrastou, aquelle antigo ribeiro, o ribeiro de Kison. Pisaste, ó alma minha, a força.
The Kishon River swept them away— that river that has been there for ages. I will tell myself to be brave and continue marching on.
22 Então as unhas dos cavallos se despedaçaram: pelo galopar, o galopar dos seus valentes.
The hooves of the horses of Sisera’s [army] pounded the ground. Those powerful horses kept galloping along.
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.
The angel sent by Yahweh said, ‘Curse the people of Meroz [town], because they did not come to help Yahweh to defeat the mighty warriors [of Canaan].’
24 Bemdita seja sobre as mulheres Jael, mulher d'Heber, o keneo: bemdita seja sobre as mulheres nas tendas.
“But God is very pleased with Jael, the wife of Heber from the Ken people-group. He is more pleased with her than with all the other women who live in tents.
25 Agua pediu elle, leite lhe deu ella: em taça de principes lhe offereceu manteiga.
Sisera asked for some water, but Jael gave him some milk. She brought him some yogurt/curds in a bowl that was suitable for kings.
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.
Then, [when he was asleep], she reached for a tent peg with her left hand, and she reached for a hammer with her right hand. She hit Sisera hard with it and crushed his head. She pounded the tent peg right through his head.
27 Entre os seus pés se en curvou, caiu, ficou estirado: entre os seus pés se encurvou caiu: onde se encurvou ali ficou abatido.
He collapsed and fell dead at her feet.
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?
“Sisera’s mother looked out from her window. She waited for him to return. She said, ‘Why is he taking so long to come home in his chariot? Why don’t I hear the sound of the wheels of his chariot?’
29 As mais sabias das suas damas responderam; e até ella se respondia a si mesmo:
One wise woman replied to her, and she [kept consoling herself by] repeating those words:
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 they are dividing up the things and the people they captured after the battle. Each soldier will get one or two women. Sisera will get some beautiful robes, and some beautiful embroidered robes for me.’
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.
But [that is not what happened]! Yahweh, I hope that all your enemies will die as Sisera did! And I desire that all those who love you will be as strong as the sun when it rises!
