El cántico de Débora
5 Aquel día cantó Débora con Barac hijo de Abinoam, diciendo:
2 “Por haberse puesto al frente los caudillos en Israel,
por haberse ofrecido el pueblo voluntariamente,
¡bendigan al SEÑOR!
3 “Oigan, oh reyes; escuchen,
oh gobernantes:
Yo cantaré al SEÑOR;
cantaré salmos al SEÑOR Dios de Israel.
4 “Oh SEÑOR, cuando saliste de Seír, cuando marchaste desde el campo
de Edom, la tierra tembló;
también los cielos gotearon
y las nubes gotearon agua.
5 Los montes temblaron delante del SEÑOR;
aquel Sinaí, delante del SEÑOR Dios de Israel.
6 “En los días de Samgar hijo de Anat,
en los días de Jael,
cesaron las caravanas
y los caminantes se apartaban
por sendas retorcidas.
7 Quedaron abandonadas las aldeas[a]
en Israel;
quedaron abandonadas hasta que yo, Débora, me levanté.
¡Me levanté como madre en Israel!
8 “Cuando escogían dioses nuevos,
la guerra estaba a las puertas;
y no se veía ni lanza ni escudo
entre cuarenta mil en Israel.
9 ¡Mi corazón está con los jefes de Israel! Los que voluntariamente
se ofrecieron entre el pueblo:
¡Bendigan al SEÑOR!
10 “Los que cabalgan sobre asnas blancas, los que se sientan sobre tapices
y los que van por el camino, consideren
11 la voz de los que cantan junto
a los abrevaderos,
donde recitan los justos hechos del SEÑOR,
los justos hechos de sus aldeanos que moran a campo abierto en Israel. Entonces descendió a las puertas
el pueblo del SEÑOR.
12 “¡Despierta, despierta, oh Débora!
¡Despierta, despierta!
¡Entona un cántico!
¡Levántate, oh Barac!
¡Lleva tus cautivos, oh hijo de Abinoam!
13 Entonces descendió el remanente
de los poderosos,
y el pueblo del SEÑOR vino a mí con los valientes.
14 “De Efraín vinieron algunos cuyas
raíces estaban en Amalec;
detrás viniste tú, oh Benjamín, con tu pueblo;
de Maquir descendieron los jefes;
de Zabulón vinieron los que llevan
la vara de mando.
15 Los jefes de Isacar fueron con Débora. Así como Barac, también fue Isacar.
Fue traído tras él en el valle.
“En las divisiones de Rubén
hubo grandes deliberaciones
del corazón.
16 ¿Por qué te recostaste entre las alforjas para escuchar los balidos de los rebaños? ¡En las divisiones de Rubén
hubo grandes deliberaciones del corazón!
17 “Galaad se quedó al otro lado del Jordán.
Y Dan, ¿por qué se quedó junto
a los navíos?
También Aser se mantuvo
en la costa del mar,
y se quedó habitando en sus bahías.
18 “Zabulón es el pueblo
que expuso su vida hasta la muerte;
Neftalí también, en las alturas del campo.
19 “Vinieron los reyes y combatieron;
entonces combatieron los reyes
de Canaán
en Taanac, junto a las aguas de Meguido, ¡pero no se llevaron botín de plata!
20 “Desde los cielos combatieron
las estrellas;
desde sus órbitas combatieron contra Sísara.
21 El torrente de Quisón los arrastró,
el antiguo torrente, el torrente
de Quisón.
¡Marcha, oh alma mía, con poder!
22 Entonces resonaron los cascos
de los caballos,
por el continuo galope de sus corceles.
23 “‘¡Maldigan a Meroz!’,
dijo el ángel del SEÑOR.
‘Maldigan severamente a sus moradores porque no vinieron en ayuda del SEÑOR, en ayuda del SEÑOR con los valientes’.
24 “¡Bendita entre las mujeres sea Jael,
mujer de Heber el queneo.
Sea bendita entre las mujeres que habitan en tiendas.
25 Él pidió agua, y ella le dio leche;
en taza de nobles le sirvió nata.
26 Con su mano tomó la estaca,
y con su derecha el mazo de obrero.
Golpeó a Sísara, machacó su cabeza, perforó y atravesó su sien.
27 A los pies de ella se encorvó y cayó;
quedó tendido.
A los pies de ella se encorvó y cayó.
Donde se encorvó, allí cayó extenuado.
28 “La madre de Sísara se asoma
a la ventana,
y mirando por la celosía dice a gritos: ‘¿Por qué tarda su carro en venir?
¿Por qué se detienen las ruedas
de sus carros?’.
29 Las más sabias de sus damas
le responden,
y ella se repite a sí misma las palabras:
30 ‘¿No habrán capturado botín?
¿No lo estarán repartiendo?
Para cada hombre una joven o dos;
un botín de ropas de colores para Sísara; un botín de bordados de colores,
bordados por ambos lados,
para mi cuello… ¡Qué botín!’.
31 “¡Perezcan así todos tus enemigos,
oh SEÑOR!
Pero los que te aman sean como el sol cuando se levanta en su poderío”.
Y la tierra reposó durante cuarenta años.

Cántico de Débora y Barac
5 Entonces Débora y Barac, hijo de Abinoam, cantaron en aquel día(A), diciendo:
2 ¡Por haberse puesto al frente los jefes[a] en Israel(B),
por haberse ofrecido el pueblo voluntariamente(C),
bendecid al Señor!
3 ¡Oíd, reyes; prestad oído, príncipes!
Yo al Señor, yo cantaré,
cantaré alabanzas al Señor, Dios de Israel(D).
4 Señor, cuando saliste de Seir(E),
cuando marchaste del campo de Edom,
la tierra tembló, también cayeron gotas del cielo[b],
y las nubes destilaron agua(F).
5 Los montes se estremecieron[c] ante la presencia del Señor(G),
aquel[d] Sinaí, ante la presencia del Señor, Dios de Israel(H).
6 En los días de Samgar, hijo de Anat(I),
en los días de Jael(J), quedaron desiertos[e] los caminos,
y los viajeros andaban por sendas tortuosas.
7 Cesaron los campesinos, cesaron en Israel,
hasta que yo, Débora, me levanté,
hasta que me levanté, como madre en Israel.
8 Escogieron nuevos dioses(K);
entonces la guerra estaba a las puertas.
No se veía escudo ni lanza
entre cuarenta mil en Israel.
9 Mi corazón está con[f] los jefes de Israel,
los voluntarios entre el pueblo.
¡Bendecid al Señor(L)!
10 Los que cabalgáis en asnas(M) blancas,
los que os sentáis en ricos tapices,
los que viajáis por el camino, cantad[g].
11 Al sonido de los que dividen las manadas entre los abrevaderos(N),
allí repetirán los actos de justicia del Señor(O),
los actos de justicia para con sus campesinos en Israel.
Entonces el pueblo del Señor descendió a las puertas(P).
12 Despierta, despierta(Q), Débora;
despierta, despierta, entona un cántico.
Levántate, Barac, y lleva a tus cautivos(R), hijo de Abinoam.
13 Entonces los sobrevivientes descendieron sobre los nobles;
el pueblo del Señor vino a mí como guerreros.
14 De Efraín descendieron los radicados[h] en Amalec(S),
en pos de ti, Benjamín, con tus pueblos;
de Maquir descendieron jefes,
y de Zabulón los que manejan vara de mando[i].
15 Los[j] príncipes de Isacar estaban con Débora;
como Isacar, así también Barac(T);
al valle se apresuraron pisándole los talones[k];
entre las divisiones de Rubén
había grandes resoluciones de corazón.
16 ¿Por qué te sentaste entre los rediles(U),
escuchando los toques de flauta para los rebaños?
Entre las divisiones de Rubén
había gran escudriñamiento de corazón.
17 Galaad se quedó[l] al otro lado del Jordán(V).
¿Y por qué se quedó Dan en las naves?
Aser se sentó a la orilla del mar,
y se quedó[m] junto a sus puertos.
18 Zabulón(W) era pueblo que despreció su vida hasta la muerte.
Y también Neftalí, en las alturas del campo.
19 Vinieron los reyes y pelearon(X);
pelearon entonces los reyes de Canaán
en Taanac(Y), cerca de las aguas de Meguido;
no tomaron despojos de plata(Z).
20 Desde los cielos las estrellas pelearon(AA),
desde sus órbitas pelearon contra Sísara.
21 El torrente Cisón los barrió,
el antiguo torrente, el torrente Cisón.
Marcha, alma mía con poder(AB).
22 Entonces resonaron[n] los cascos de los caballos
por el galopar, el galopar de sus valientes corceles[o](AC).
23 «Maldecid a Meroz», dijo el ángel del Señor,
«maldecid, maldecid a sus moradores;
porque no vinieron en ayuda del Señor,
en ayuda del Señor contra los guerreros(AD)».
24 Bendita entre las mujeres es Jael,
mujer de Heber ceneo;
bendita sea entre las mujeres de la tienda.
25 El pidió agua, y ella le dio leche;
en taza de nobles le trajo cuajada[p].
26 Extendió ella la mano hacia la estaca de la tienda,
y su diestra hacia el martillo de trabajadores.
Entonces golpeó a Sísara, desbarató su cabeza;
destruyó y perforó sus sienes(AE).
27 A[q] sus pies él se encorvó, cayó, quedó tendido;
a[r] sus pies se encorvó y cayó;
donde se encorvó, allí quedó muerto[s].
28 Miraba por la ventana y se lamentaba
la madre de Sísara, por las celosías[t]:
«¿Por qué se tarda en venir su carro?
¿Por qué se retrasa el trotar[u] de sus carros?».
29 Sus sabias princesas le respondían,
aun a sí misma ella repite sus palabras:
30 «¿Acaso no han hallado el botín(AF) y se lo están repartiendo?
¿Una doncella, dos doncellas para cada guerrero;
para Sísara un botín de tela de colores,
un botín de tela de colores bordada,
tela de colores de doble bordadura en el cuello del victorioso[v]?».
31 Así perezcan todos tus enemigos, oh Señor(AG);
mas sean los que te aman como la salida del sol en su fuerza(AH).
Y el país tuvo descanso por cuarenta años.

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.

The Song of Deborah
5 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam (A)sang on that day, saying:
2 “When[a] leaders (B)lead in Israel,
(C)When the people [b]willingly offer themselves,
Bless the Lord!
3 “Hear,(D) O kings! Give ear, O princes!
I, even (E)I, will sing to the Lord;
I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.
4 “Lord, (F)when You went out from Seir,
When You marched from (G)the field of Edom,
The earth trembled and the heavens poured,
The clouds also poured water;
5 (H)The mountains [c]gushed before the Lord,
(I)This Sinai, before the Lord God of Israel.
6 “In the days of (J)Shamgar, son of Anath,
In the days of (K)Jael,
(L)The highways were deserted,
And the travelers walked along the byways.
7 Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel,
Until I, Deborah, arose,
Arose a mother in Israel.
8 They chose (M)new gods;
Then there was war in the gates;
Not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.
9 My heart is with the rulers of Israel
Who offered themselves willingly with the people.
Bless the Lord!
10 “Speak, you who ride on white (N)donkeys,
Who sit in judges’ attire,
And who walk along the road.
11 Far from the noise of the archers, among the watering places,
There they shall recount the righteous acts of the Lord,
The righteous acts for His villagers in Israel;
Then the people of the Lord shall go down to the gates.
12 “Awake,(O) awake, Deborah!
Awake, awake, sing a song!
Arise, Barak, and lead your captives away,
O son of Abinoam!
13 “Then the survivors came down, the people against the nobles;
The Lord came down for me against the mighty.
14 From Ephraim were those whose roots were in (P)Amalek.
After you, Benjamin, with your peoples,
From Machir rulers came down,
And from Zebulun those who bear the recruiter’s staff.
15 And [d]the princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
As Issachar, so was Barak
Sent into the valley [e]under his command;
Among the divisions of Reuben
There were great resolves of heart.
16 Why did you sit among the sheepfolds,
To hear the pipings for the flocks?
The divisions of Reuben have great searchings of heart.
17 (Q)Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan,
And why did Dan remain [f]on ships?
(R)Asher continued at the seashore,
And stayed by his inlets.
18 (S)Zebulun is a people who jeopardized their lives to the point of death,
Naphtali also, on the heights of the battlefield.
19 “The kings came and fought,
Then the kings of Canaan fought
In (T)Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo;
They took no spoils of silver.
20 They fought from the heavens;
The stars from their courses fought against Sisera.
21 (U)The torrent of Kishon swept them away,
That ancient torrent, the torrent of Kishon.
O my soul, march on in strength!
22 Then the horses’ hooves pounded,
The galloping, galloping of his steeds.
23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ said the [g]angel of the Lord,
‘Curse its inhabitants bitterly,
Because they did not come to the help of the Lord,
To the help of the Lord against the mighty.’
24 “Most blessed among women is Jael,
The wife of Heber the Kenite;
(V)Blessed is she among women in tents.
25 He asked for water, she gave milk;
She brought out cream in a lordly bowl.
26 She stretched her hand to the tent peg,
Her right hand to the workmen’s hammer;
She pounded Sisera, she pierced his head,
She split and struck through his temple.
27 At her feet he sank, he fell, he lay still;
At her feet he sank, he fell;
Where he sank, there he fell (W)dead.
28 “The mother of Sisera looked through the window,
And cried out through the lattice,
‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?
Why tarries the clatter of his chariots?’
29 Her wisest [h]ladies answered her,
Yes, she [i]answered herself,
30 ‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoil:
To every man a girl or two;
For Sisera, plunder of dyed garments,
Plunder of garments embroidered and dyed,
Two pieces of dyed embroidery for the neck of the looter?’
31 “Thus let all Your enemies (X)perish, O Lord!
But let those who love Him be (Y)like the (Z)sun
When it comes out in full (AA)strength.”
So the land had rest for forty years.

King James Version
5 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2 Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord God of Israel.
4 Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.
5 The mountains melted from before the Lord, even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.
7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the Lord.
10 Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
11 They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the Lord go down to the gates.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13 Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the Lord made me have dominion over the mighty.
14 Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
16 Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
18 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
19 The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
20 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
22 Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.
23 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the Lord, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty.
24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
26 She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
28 The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
30 Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?
31 So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
