Hakim-hakim 5
1 Pada hari itu bernyanyilah Debora dan Barak anak Abinoam. Begini katanya:
And Debbora and Barac son of Abineem sang in that day, saying,
2 Pujilah TUHAN, sebab pahlawan-pahlawan Israel telah bertekad untuk berjuang, dan rakyat dengan rela pergi berperang.
A revelation was made in Israel when the people were made willing: Praise you the Lord.
3 Dengarlah hai para raja dan pangeran, aku bernyanyi bagi Allah Israel, yaitu TUHAN.
Hear, you kings, and listen, rulers: I will sing, it is I [who will sing] to the Lord, it is I, I will sing a psalm to the Lord the god of Israel.
4 Tatkala Kauberangkat dari Seir, ya TUHAN, dan wilayah Edom Kautinggalkan, bumi bergetar, saluran-saluran langit pun terbuka, dan awan-awan mencurahkan airnya.
O Lord, in your going forth on Seir, when you went forth out of the land of Edom, the earth quaked and the heaven dropped dews, and the clouds dropped water.
5 Gunung-gunung bergoncang di depan penguasa Sinai, di depan TUHAN, Allah Israel.
The mountains were shaken before the face of the Lord Eloi, this Sina before the face of the Lord God of Israel.
6 Di masa Samgar, anak Anat, dan di masa Yael juga, tiada kafilah di negeri, tiada kelana di jalan raya.
In the days of Samegar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, they deserted the ways, and went in by-ways; they went in crooked paths.
7 Kota-kota Israel tiada penghuninya, sunyi sepi hingga kaudatang, Debora; kaudatang bagaikan ibu yang tercinta.
The mighty men in Israel failed, they failed until Debbora arose, until she arose a mother in Israel.
8 Ketika Israel mulai menyembah dewa, pecahlah perang di negeri mereka; di antara empat puluh ribu pahlawan bangsa, tak seorang pun mengangkat senjata.
They chose new gods; then the cities of rulers fought; there was not a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel.
9 Kepada para panglima Israel yang menawarkan diri dengan sukarela, kusampaikan penghargaanku yang sedalam-dalamnya. Pujilah TUHAN!
My heart [inclines] to the orders given in Israel; you that are willing among the people, bless the Lord.
10 Hai kamu yang mengendarai keledai putih, kamu yang duduk di atas permadani, dan kamu semua yang berjalan kaki, kabarkanlah kisah kemenangan ini!
You that mount a she-ass at noon-day, you that sit on the judgment-seat, and walk by the roads of them that sit in judgment by the way; declare
11 Di dekat sumur-sumur terdengar orang ramai berdendang, mengisahkan kemenangan TUHAN berulang-ulang, kemenangan Israel, umat TUHAN. Maka berbarislah mereka menuju ke gerbang kota.
[you that are delivered] from the noise of disturbers among the drawers of water; there shall they relate righteous acts: O Lord, increase righteous acts in Israel: then the people of the Lord went down to the cities.
12 Bangkitlah Debora, dan angkatlah nyanyian. Bangunlah Barak, giringlah para tahanan!
Awake, awake, Debbora; awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barac, and lead your captivity captive, son of Abineem.
13 Ksatria yang tersisa datang kepada pemimpinnya, mereka datang, dan siap untuk berjuang bagi-Nya.
Then went down the remnant to the strong, the people of the Lord went down for him among the mighty ones from me.
14 Mereka berjalan dari Efraim ke lembah, mengikuti pasukan Benyamin yang berbaris di depan mereka. Dari Makhir datanglah para panglima, dan dari Zebulon bangkit para perwira.
Ephraim rooted them out in Amalec, behind you was Benjamin among your people: the inhabitants of Machir came down with me searching out the enemy, and from Zabulon came they that draw with the scribe's pen of record.
15 Para pemuka Isakhar datang bersama Debora, ya, Isakhar datang, dan Barak turut juga; mereka mengikuti dia menuruni lembah. Tetapi suku Ruben tak dapat menentukan sikap sebab di antara mereka tak terdapat kata sepakat.
And princess in Issachar were with Debbora and Barac, thus she sent Barac on his feet in the valleys into the portions of Ruben; great [pangs] reached to the heart.
16 Mengapa mereka tinggal di antara domba-domba? Apakah untuk mendengarkan gembala memanggil ternaknya? Memang suku Ruben tak dapat menentukan sikap sebab di antara mereka tak terdapat kata sepakat.
Why did they sit between the sheepfolds to hear the bleating of flocks for the divisions of Ruben? [there were] great searchings of heart.
17 Sementara Zebulon dan Naftali berjuang sengit di medan perang, suku Dan bercokol di kapal, dan suku Gad tetap tinggal di timur Yordan, sedangkan suku Asyer tenang-tenang dan tak mau menyingkir dari tempat mereka di sepanjang pesisir.
Galaad [is] on the other side of Jordan where he pitched his tents; and why does Dan remain in ships? Aser sat down on the sea-coasts, and he will tabernacle at his ports.
The people Zabulon exposed their soul to death, and Nephthali came to the high places of their land.
19 Di Taanakh, dekat sungai di Megido, raja-raja berperang, raja-raja Kanaan berjuang, tapi perak tak ada yang mereka bawa sebagai jarahan.
Kings set themselves in array, then the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanaach at the water of Mageddo; they took no gift of money.
20 Bintang-bintang juga turut berjuang melawan Sisera, dari tempat peredaran mereka di angkasa.
The stars from heaven set themselves in array, they set themselves [to fight] with Sisara out of their paths.
21 Sungai Kison meluap-luap menghanyutkan seteru. Maju, majulah dengan perkasa, hai jiwaku!
The brook of Kison swept them away, the ancient brook, the brook Kison: my mighty soul will trample him down.
22 Dengan laju menderaplah telapak-telapak kuda yang dipacu oleh pengendaranya.
When the hoofs of the horse were entangled, his mighty ones earnestly hasted
23 "Kutuklah Meros, dan penghuninya," kata Malaikat TUHAN "sebab mereka tidak datang memberi bantuan sebagai pahlawan yang berjuang untuk TUHAN."
to curse Meroz: Curse you [it], said the angel of the Lord; cursed [is] every one that dwells in it, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to his help among the mighty.
24 Beruntunglah Yael, istri Heber orang Keni; dari semua penghuni kemah, dialah yang paling diberkati.
Blessed among women be Jael wife of Chaber the Kenite; let her be blessed above women in tents.
25 Sisera minta air, tapi ia memberikan susu kepadanya, disajikannya susu dalam mangkuk yang pantas untuk raja-raja.
He asked for water, she gave him milk in a dish; she brought butter of princes.
26 Dengan pasak dan martil di tangannya Yael memukul Sisera sampai hancur kepalanya.
She stretched forth her left hand to the nail, and her right to the hand workman's hammer, and she struck Sisara with it, she nailed through his head and struck him; she nailed through his temples.
27 Di kaki Yael ia rebah tak bernyawa tergeletak di tanah menemui ajalnya.
He rolled down between her feet; he fell and lay between her feet; he bowed and fell: where he bowed, there he fell dead.
28 Dari ruji-ruji jendela ibu Sisera memandang, dan berkata, "Mengapa keretanya, tak kunjung tiba, mengapa tak terdengar derap kudanya?"
The mother of Sisara looked down through the window out of the loophole, [saying], Why was his chariot ashamed? why did the wheels of his chariots wait?
29 Yang terarif di antara dayang-dayangnya memberi jawaban yang telah ditemukannya sendiri dalam hatinya:
Her wise ladies answered her, and she returned answers to herself, [saying],
30 "Mereka sedang membagi-bagi barang rampasan, untuk tiap prajurit, satu atau dua perawan. Untuk Sisera, bahan baju yang paling berharga, untuk ratu, selendang bersulam aneka warna."
Will they not find him dividing the spoil? he will surely be gracious to every man: [there are] spoils of dyed garments for Sisara, spoils of various dyed garments, dyed embroidered garments, they [are] the spoils for his neck.
31 Semoga musuh-musuh-Mu, ya TUHAN, tewas seperti Sisera, tetapi semua sahabat-Mu jaya bagaikan surya di angkasa! Setelah itu, tentramlah negeri itu empat puluh tahun lamanya.
Thus let all your enemies perish, O Lord: and they that love him shall be as the going forth of the sun in his strength. And the land had rest forty years.
