The Song of Deborah
5 On that day Deborah(A) and Barak son of Abinoam(B) sang this song:(C)
2 “When the princes in Israel take the lead,
when the people willingly offer(D) themselves—
praise the Lord!(E)
3 “Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers!
I, even I, will sing to[a] the Lord;(F)
I will praise the Lord, the God of Israel, in song.(G)
4 “When you, Lord, went out(H) from Seir,(I)
when you marched from the land of Edom,
the earth shook,(J) the heavens poured,
the clouds poured down water.(K)
5 The mountains quaked(L) before the Lord, the One of Sinai,
before the Lord, the God of Israel.
6 “In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,(M)
in the days of Jael,(N) the highways(O) were abandoned;
travelers took to winding paths.(P)
7 Villagers in Israel would not fight;
they held back until I, Deborah,(Q) arose,
until I arose, a mother in Israel.
8 God chose new leaders(R)
when war came to the city gates,(S)
but not a shield or spear(T) was seen
among forty thousand in Israel.
9 My heart is with Israel’s princes,
with the willing volunteers(U) among the people.
Praise the Lord!
10 “You who ride on white donkeys,(V)
sitting on your saddle blankets,
and you who walk along the road,
consider 11 the voice of the singers[b] at the watering places.
They recite the victories(W) of the Lord,
the victories of his villagers in Israel.
“Then the people of the Lord
went down to the city gates.(X)
12 ‘Wake up,(Y) wake up, Deborah!(Z)
Wake up, wake up, break out in song!
Arise, Barak!(AA)
Take captive your captives,(AB) son of Abinoam.’
13 “The remnant of the nobles came down;
the people of the Lord came down to me against the mighty.
14 Some came from Ephraim,(AC) whose roots were in Amalek;(AD)
Benjamin(AE) was with the people who followed you.
From Makir(AF) captains came down,
from Zebulun those who bear a commander’s[c] staff.
15 The princes of Issachar(AG) were with Deborah;(AH)
yes, Issachar was with Barak,(AI)
sent under his command into the valley.
In the districts of Reuben
there was much searching of heart.
16 Why did you stay among the sheep pens[d](AJ)
to hear the whistling for the flocks?(AK)
In the districts of Reuben
there was much searching of heart.
17 Gilead(AL) stayed beyond the Jordan.
And Dan, why did he linger by the ships?
Asher(AM) remained on the coast(AN)
and stayed in his coves.
18 The people of Zebulun(AO) risked their very lives;
so did Naphtali(AP) on the terraced fields.(AQ)
19 “Kings came(AR), they fought,
the kings of Canaan fought.
At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo,(AS)
they took no plunder of silver.(AT)
20 From the heavens(AU) the stars fought,
from their courses they fought against Sisera.
21 The river Kishon(AV) swept them away,
the age-old river, the river Kishon.
March on, my soul; be strong!(AW)
22 Then thundered the horses’ hooves—
galloping, galloping go his mighty steeds.(AX)
23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of the Lord.
‘Curse its people bitterly,
because they did not come to help the Lord,
to help the Lord against the mighty.’
24 “Most blessed of women(AY) be Jael,(AZ)
the wife of Heber the Kenite,(BA)
most blessed of tent-dwelling women.
25 He asked for water, and she gave him milk;(BB)
in a bowl fit for nobles she brought him curdled milk.
26 Her hand reached for the tent peg,
her right hand for the workman’s hammer.
She struck Sisera, she crushed his head,
she shattered and pierced his temple.(BC)
27 At her feet he sank,
he fell; there he lay.
At her feet he sank, he fell;
where he sank, there he fell—dead(BD).
28 “Through the window(BE) peered Sisera’s mother;
behind the lattice she cried out,(BF)
‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?
Why is the clatter of his chariots delayed?’
29 The wisest of her ladies answer her;
indeed, she keeps saying to herself,
30 ‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoils:(BG)
a woman or two for each man,
colorful garments as plunder for Sisera,
colorful garments embroidered,
highly embroidered garments(BH) for my neck—
all this as plunder?(BI)’
31 “So may all your enemies perish,(BJ) Lord!
But may all who love you be like the sun(BK)
when it rises in its strength.”(BL)
Then the land had peace(BM) forty years.

A Canção de Débora e Baraque
5 Naquele dia Débora e Baraque, filho de Abinoão, cantaram assim:
2 Louvem a Deus, o Senhor!
Os israelitas resolveram lutar,
e o povo se apresentou alegremente!
3 Ouçam, reis!
Prestem atenção, governadores!
Eu tocarei música e cantarei
ao Senhor, o Deus de Israel!
4 Ó Senhor Deus, quando saíste das montanhas de Seir,
quando vieste da região de Edom,
a terra tremeu, e as chuvas caíram do céu.
Sim, caiu muita água das nuvens.
5 As montanhas tremeram diante do Senhor, o Deus do monte Sinai,
diante do Senhor, o Deus de Israel.
6 Nos dias de Sangar, filho de Anate,
nos dias de Jael,
as estradas estavam desertas,
e os viajantes usavam os desvios.
7 Nas cidades de Israel não havia ninguém;
elas ficaram vazias até que você, Débora, veio,
para ser mãe de Israel.
8 Os israelitas escolheram novos deuses,
e então houve guerra no país.
E dos quarenta mil homens de Israel
nenhum carregava escudo ou lança!
9 O meu coração está com os comandantes de Israel,
com o povo que se ofereceu alegremente.
Louvem a Deus, o Senhor!
10 Falem disso, vocês que montam jumentos brancos,
sentados nas suas selas,
e os que viajam a pé.
11 Escutem! A multidão barulhenta em volta dos poços
está falando das vitórias do Senhor,
das vitórias do povo de Israel!
Então o povo do Senhor desceu para as suas cidades.
12 Levante-se, Débora, levante-se!
Levante-se! Cante uma canção! Levante-se!
Marche, Baraque, filho de Abinoão,
e leve presos os que o prenderam!
13 Então os que tinham fé foram para onde estavam os seus chefes,
e o povo de Deus, o Senhor, pronto para lutar,
foi encontrar-se com Baraque.
14 Eles saíram de Efraim e foram para o vale,
atrás da tribo de Benjamim e do seu povo.
De Maquir desceram os comandantes,
e de Zebulom vieram os oficiais.
15 Os chefes de Issacar foram com Débora.
Sim, a tribo de Issacar foi, e Baraque também.
Eles o seguiram até o vale.
Mas a tribo de Rúben estava dividida;
eles discutiram e não foram.
16 Por que resolveram ficar lá com as ovelhas?
Será que foi para ouvir os pastores chamarem o rebanho?
Sim, a tribo de Rúben estava dividida;
eles discutiram e não foram.
17 A tribo de Gade ficou a leste do rio Jordão,
e a tribo de Dã, nas pastagens.
A tribo de Aser parou perto do mar
e ficou na beira das praias.
18 Mas o povo de Zebulom e de Naftali
arriscou a sua vida no campo de batalha.
19 Os reis vieram e lutaram
em Taanaque, perto do riacho de Megido.
Os reis de Canaã lutaram,
mas não tomaram dos inimigos nenhuma prata.
20 Até as estrelas lutaram:
enquanto caminhavam pelo céu,
elas lutaram contra Sísera.
21 Os inimigos foram arrastados por uma enchente do rio Quisom,
o velho rio Quisom.
Eu marcharei, marcharei com firmeza!
22 Então os cavalos galoparam e galoparam,
socando a terra com os seus cascos.
23 “Amaldiçoem a cidade de Meroz”,
diz o Anjo do Senhor;
“amaldiçoem, amaldiçoem os seus moradores,
pois eles não vieram ajudar o Senhor,
não vieram como soldados para lutar por ele.”
24 A mais feliz das mulheres é Jael,
a mulher de Héber, o queneu.
Ela é a mais feliz das mulheres que vivem em barracas.
25 Sísera pediu água, porém ela lhe deu leite;
trouxe nata para ele numa linda taça.
26 Pegou a estaca com uma das mãos
e a marreta com a outra.
Deu um golpe em Sísera e esmagou a sua cabeça;
furou e quebrou a sua cabeça em pedaços.
27 Ele caiu de joelhos,
tombou e ficou estendido a seus pés.
A seus pés ele caiu de joelhos e tombou;
ele caiu morto no chão.
28 A mãe de Sísera olhou pela janela da sua casa;
olhou bem, pela grade da janela, e disse:
“Por que o seu carro demora tanto para chegar?
Por que os seus cavalos andam tão devagar?”
29 As suas acompanhantes mais sábias respondiam,
e ela repetia para si mesma:
30 “Eles devem estar dividindo as coisas que tomaram:
uma ou duas moças para cada soldado,
roupas luxuosas para Sísera
e panos bordados para o pescoço da rainha.”
31 Assim, ó Senhor Deus, morram todos os teus inimigos,
porém que os teus amigos brilhem
como a forte luz do sol nascente!
E houve paz no país durante quarenta anos.

The Song of Deborah and Barak
5 (A)Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day:
2 “That the leaders took the lead in Israel,
that (B)the people offered themselves willingly,
bless the Lord!
3 “Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes;
to the Lord I will sing;
I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel.
4 “Lord, (C)when you went out from Seir,
when you marched from the region of Edom,
(D)the earth trembled
and the heavens dropped,
yes, the clouds dropped water.
5 The mountains (E)quaked before the Lord,
(F)even Sinai before the Lord,[a] the God of Israel.
6 “In the days of (G)Shamgar, son of Anath,
in the days of (H)Jael, (I)the highways were abandoned,
and travelers kept to the byways.
7 The villagers ceased in Israel;
they ceased to be until I arose;
I, Deborah, arose as a mother in Israel.
8 (J)When new gods were chosen,
then war was in the gates.
(K)Was shield or spear to be seen
among forty thousand in Israel?
9 My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel
who (L)offered themselves willingly among the people.
Bless the Lord.
10 “Tell of it, (M)you who ride on white donkeys,
you who sit on rich carpets[b]
and you who walk by the way.
11 To the sound of musicians[c] at the watering places,
there they repeat the righteous triumphs of the Lord,
the righteous triumphs of his villagers in Israel.
“Then down to the gates marched the people of the Lord.
12 (N)“Awake, awake, Deborah!
Awake, awake, break out in a song!
Arise, Barak, (O)lead away your captives,
O son of Abinoam.
13 Then down marched the remnant of the noble;
the people of the Lord marched down for me against the mighty.
14 From (P)Ephraim their root (Q)they marched down into the valley,[d]
following you, Benjamin, with your kinsmen;
from (R)Machir marched down the commanders,
and from Zebulun those who bear the lieutenant's[e] staff;
15 the princes of Issachar came with Deborah,
and Issachar faithful to (S)Barak;
into the valley they rushed at his heels.
Among the clans of Reuben
there were great searchings of heart.
16 Why did you sit still (T)among the sheepfolds,
to hear the whistling for the flocks?
Among the clans of Reuben
there were great searchings of heart.
17 (U)Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan;
(V)and Dan, why did he stay with the ships?
(W)Asher sat still (X)at the coast of the sea,
staying by his landings.
18 (Y)Zebulun is a people who risked their lives to the death;
(Z)Naphtali, too, on the heights of the field.
19 “The kings came, they fought;
then fought the kings of Canaan,
at (AA)Taanach, by the waters of (AB)Megiddo;
(AC)they got no spoils of silver.
20 (AD)From heaven the stars fought,
from their courses they fought against Sisera.
21 (AE)The torrent Kishon swept them away,
the ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon.
March on, my soul, with might!
22 “Then loud beat the horses' hoofs
with the galloping, galloping of his steeds.
23 “Curse Meroz, says the angel of the Lord,
curse its inhabitants thoroughly,
(AF)because they did not come to the help of the Lord,
to the help of the Lord against the mighty.
24 “Most blessed of women be (AG)Jael,
the wife of Heber the Kenite,
of tent-dwelling women most blessed.
25 (AH)He asked for water and she gave him milk;
she brought him curds in a noble's bowl.
26 (AI)She sent her hand to the tent peg
and her right hand to the workmen's mallet;
she struck Sisera;
she crushed his head;
she shattered and pierced his temple.
27 Between her feet
he sank, he fell, he lay still;
between her feet
he sank, he fell;
where he sank,
there he fell—dead.
28 (AJ)“Out of the window she peered,
the mother of Sisera wailed through (AK)the lattice:
‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?
Why tarry the hoofbeats of his chariots?’
29 Her wisest princesses answer,
indeed, she answers herself,
30 ‘Have they not found and (AL)divided the spoil?—
A womb or two for every man;
spoil of dyed materials for Sisera,
spoil of dyed materials embroidered,
two pieces of dyed work embroidered for the neck as spoil?’
31 (AM)“So may all your enemies perish, O Lord!
But your friends be (AN)like the sun (AO)as he rises in his might.”
(AP)And the land had rest for forty years.
