Cántico de Débora y de Barac
5 Aquel día cantó Débora con Barac hijo de Abinoam, diciendo:
2 Por haberse puesto al frente los caudillos en Israel,
Por haberse ofrecido voluntariamente el pueblo,
Load a Jehová.
3 Oíd, reyes; escuchad, oh príncipes;
Yo cantaré a Jehová,
Cantaré salmos a Jehová, el Dios de Israel.
4 Cuando saliste de Seir, oh Jehová,
Cuando te marchaste de los campos de Edom,
La tierra tembló, y los cielos destilaron,
Y las nubes gotearon aguas.
5 Los montes temblaron delante de Jehová,
Aquel Sinaí, delante de Jehová Dios de Israel.(A)
6 En los días de Samgar hijo de Anat,
En los días de Jael, quedaron abandonados los caminos,
Y los que andaban por las sendas se apartaban por senderos torcidos.
7 Las aldeas quedaron abandonadas en Israel, habían decaído,
Hasta que yo Débora me levanté,
Me levanté como madre en Israel.
8 Cuando escogían nuevos dioses,
La guerra estaba a las puertas;
¿Se veía escudo o lanza
Entre cuarenta mil en Israel?
9 Mi corazón es para vosotros, jefes de Israel,
Para los que voluntariamente os ofrecisteis entre el pueblo.
Load a Jehová.
10 Vosotros los que cabalgáis en asnas blancas,
Los que presidís en juicio,
Y vosotros los que viajáis, hablad.
11 Lejos del ruido de los arqueros, en los abrevaderos,
Allí repetirán los triunfos de Jehová,
Los triunfos de sus aldeas en Israel;
Entonces marchará hacia las puertas el pueblo de Jehová.
12 Despierta, despierta, Débora;
Despierta, despierta, entona cántico.
Levántate, Barac, y lleva tus cautivos, hijo de Abinoam.
13 Entonces marchó el resto de los nobles;
El pueblo de Jehová marchó por él en contra de los poderosos.
14 De Efraín vinieron los radicados en Amalec,
En pos de ti, Benjamín, entre tus pueblos;
De Maquir descendieron príncipes,
Y de Zabulón los que tenían vara de mando.
15 Caudillos también de Isacar fueron con Débora;
Y como Barac, también Isacar
Se precipitó a pie en el valle.
Entre las familias de Rubén
Hubo grandes resoluciones del corazón.
16 ¿Por qué te quedaste entre los rediles,
Para oír los balidos de los rebaños?
Entre las familias de Rubén
Hubo grandes propósitos del corazón.
17 Galaad se quedó al otro lado del Jordán;
Y Dan, ¿por qué se estuvo junto a las naves?
Se mantuvo Aser a la ribera del mar,
Y se quedó en sus puertos.
18 El pueblo de Zabulón expuso su vida a la muerte,
Y Neftalí en las alturas del campo.
19 Vinieron reyes y pelearon;
Entonces pelearon los reyes de Canaán,
En Taanac, junto a las aguas de Meguido,
Mas no llevaron ganancia alguna de dinero.
20 Desde los cielos pelearon las estrellas;
Desde sus órbitas pelearon contra Sísara.
21 Los barrió el torrente de Cisón,
El antiguo torrente, el torrente de Cisón.
Marcha, oh alma mía, con poder.
22 Entonces resonaron los cascos de los caballos
Por el galopar, por el galopar de sus valientes.
23 Maldecid a Meroz, dijo el ángel de Jehová;
Maldecid severamente a sus moradores,
Porque no vinieron al socorro de Jehová,
Al socorro de Jehová contra los fuertes.
24 Bendita sea entre las mujeres Jael,
Mujer de Heber ceneo;
Sobre las mujeres bendita sea en la tienda.
25 Él pidió agua, y ella le dio leche;
En tazón de nobles le presentó crema.
26 Tendió su mano a la estaca,
Y su diestra al mazo de trabajadores,
Y golpeó a Sísara; hirió su cabeza,
Y le horadó, y atravesó sus sienes.
27 Cayó encorvado entre sus pies, quedó tendido;
Entre sus pies cayó encorvado;
Donde se encorvó, allí cayó muerto.
28 La madre de Sísara se asoma a la ventana,
Y por entre las celosías a voces dice:
¿Por qué tarda su carro en venir?
¿Por qué las ruedas de sus carros se detienen?
29 Las más avisadas de sus damas le respondían,
Y aun ella se respondía a sí misma:
30 ¿No han hallado botín, y lo están repartiendo?
A cada uno una doncella, o dos;
Las vestiduras de colores para Sísara,
Las vestiduras bordadas de colores;
La ropa de color bordada de ambos lados, para los jefes de los que tomaron el botín.
31 Así perezcan todos tus enemigos, oh Jehová;
Mas los que te aman, sean como el sol cuando sale en su fuerza.
Y la tierra reposó cuarenta años.

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.

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.
