Juízes 5

1 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,

2 "Because the leaders took the lead in Israel,

because the people offered themselves willingly,

be blessed, Yahweh!

3 "Hear, you kings!

Give ear, you princes!

I, even I, will sing to Yahweh.

I will sing praise to Yahweh, the God of Israel.

4 "Yahweh, when you went out of Seir,

when you marched out of the field of Edom,

the earth trembled, the sky also dropped.

Yes, the clouds dropped water.

5 The mountains quaked at Yahweh’s presence,

even Sinai at the presence of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

6 "In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath,

in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied.

The travelers walked through byways.

7 The rulers ceased in Israel.

They ceased until I, Deborah, arose;

Until I arose a mother in Israel.

8 They chose new gods.

Then war was in the gates.

Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?

9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel,

who offered themselves willingly among the people.

Bless Yahweh!

10 "Speak, you who ride on white donkeys,

you who sit on rich carpets,

and you who walk by the way.

11 Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water,

there they will rehearse Yahweh’s righteous acts,

the righteous acts of his rule in Israel.

"Then Yahweh’s people went down to the gates.

12 ‘Awake, awake, Deborah!

Awake, awake, utter a song!

Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.’

13 "Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down.

Yahweh came down for me against the mighty.

14 Those whose root is in Amalek came out of Ephraim,

after you, Benjamin, among your peoples.

Governors come down out of Machir.

Those who handle the marshal’s staff came out of Zebulun.

15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah.

As was Issachar, so was Barak.

They rushed into the valley at his feet.

By the watercourses of Reuben,

there were great resolves of heart.

16 Why did you sit among the sheepfolds?

To hear the whistling for the flocks?

At the watercourses of Reuben,

there were great searchings of heart.

17 Gilead lived beyond the Jordan.

Why did Dan remain in ships?

Asher sat still at the haven of the sea,

and lived by his creeks.

18 Zebulun was a people that jeopardized their lives to the death;

Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.

19 "The kings came and fought,

then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo.

They took no plunder of silver.

20 From the sky the stars fought.

From their courses, they fought against Sisera.

21 The river Kishon swept them away,

that ancient river, the river Kishon.

My soul, march on with strength.

22 Then the horse hoofs stamped because of the prancing,

the prancing of their strong ones.

23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ said Yahweh’s angel.

‘Curse bitterly its inhabitants,

because they didn’t come to help Yahweh,

to help Yahweh against the mighty.’

24 "Jael shall be blessed above women,

the wife of Heber the Kenite;

blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

25 He asked for water.

She gave him milk.

She brought him butter in a lordly dish.

26 She put her hand to the tent peg,

and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer.

With the hammer she struck Sisera.

She struck through his head.

Yes, she pierced and struck through his temples.

27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay.

At her feet he bowed, he fell.

Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.

28 "Through the window she looked out, and cried:

Sisera’s mother looked through the lattice.

‘Why is his chariot so long in coming?

Why do the wheels of his chariots wait?’

29 Her wise ladies answered her,

Yes, she returned answer to herself,

30 ‘Have they not found, have they not divided the plunder?

A lady, two ladies to every man;

to Sisera a plunder of dyed garments,

a plunder of dyed garments embroidered,

of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the plunder?’

31 "So let all your enemies perish, Yahweh,

but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength."

Then the land had rest forty years.

Te Waiata a Tepora rāua ko Paraka

1 Nā, ka waiata a Tepora rāua ko Paraka tama a Apīnoama i taua rā, ka mea:

2 "Whakapaingia a Ihowā mō te takitakinga

a ngā kaitakitaki o Īharaira,

mō te hihikotanga mai o te iwi.

3 "Whakarongo, e ngā kīngi, kia whai taringa, e ngā rangatira;

māku, āe rā, māku e waiata ki a Ihowā,

ka hīmene ahau ki a Ihowā, ki te Atua o Īharaira.

4 "E Ihowā, i tōu putanga atu i Heira,

i tōu haerenga atu i te pārae i Ēroma,

i wiri te whenua,

i māturuturu iho anō ngā rangi;

i māturuturu iho anō hoki ngā wai o ngā kapua.

5 I rere ā-wai ngā maunga i te aroaro o Ihowā, ko taua Hinai anō hoki,

i te aroaro o Ihowā, o te Atua o Īharaira.

6 "I ngā rā o Hamakara tama a Anata,

i ngā rā o Taere, i takoto kau ngā huarahi,

i haere hoki ngā tira haere i ngā ara i tahaki.

7 I mutu rawa ngā rangatira o Īharaira,

i kāhore rawa,

ā, whakatika noa ake ahau, a Tepora,

whakatika ake ahau, he whaea nō Īharaira.

8 I whiriwhiria e rātou he atua hou;

kātahi ka puta he whawhai ki ngā kūwaha.

I kitea rānei he pukupuku, he tao rānei,

i roto i ngā mano e whā tekau o Īharaira?

9 Kei ngā kaiwhakatakoto tikanga o Īharaira tōku ngākau;

i hihiko rātou ki te tuku i a rātou i roto i te iwi.

Whakapaingia a Ihowā.

10 "Kōrerotia, e ngā kaieke kāihe mā,

e te hunga e noho ana i runga i ngā whāriki utu nui,

e te hunga e haere ana i te ara.

11 Mamao noa mai i te reo o ngā kaikōpere,

i ngā wāhi utuhanga wai,

ka kōrerotia e rātou i reira ngā mahi tika a Ihowā,

ngā mahi tika o tāna whakahaere tikanga i roto i a Īharaira.

"Kātahi te iwi o Ihowā

ka heke ki raro ki ngā kūwaha.

12 Maranga, maranga, e Tepora!

Maranga, maranga, whakahuatia he waiata!

Whakatika, e Paraka, ārahina tāu whakaraunga ki te whakarau,

e te tama a Apīnoama.

13 "Kātahi ka haere mai ki raro te mōrehu o ngā rangatira, me te iwi;

i haere mai hoki a Ihowā ki raro mōku ki te whawhai ki te mea nui.

14 I puta mai i a Ēparaima te hunga ko tō rātou pakiaka nei kei a Amareke;

kei muri i a koe, e Pineamine, i roto i ōu iwi;

i haere mai ngā kaiwhakatakoto tikanga i roto i a Makiri;

nō roto i a Hepurona ngā kaihāpai i te tokotoko a te kaiwhakahaere;

15 i a Tepora hoki ngā rangatira o Ihākara;

he pērā a Ihākara; he pērā hoki a Paraka;

huaki atu ana rātou i raro i ōna waewae ki te raorao.

I ngā manga wai o Reupena,

tērā ngā whakaaroaronga nunui o te ngākau.

16 He aha koe i noho ai ki ngā taiepa hipi,

whakarongo ai ki ngā whakatangi mō ngā kāhui?

I ngā manga wai o Reupena,

tērā ngā rapurapunga nunui o te ngākau.

17 I noho a Kireara ki tērā taha o Horano;

nā, ko Rāna, he aha ia i noho ai i runga i ngā kaipuke?

Ko Āhera, whakakeke tonu mai i te takutai moana,

ā, noho ana ia i te taha o ōna manga wai.

18 Ko Hepurona he iwi i whakahāwea ō rātou tinana ki te mate;

rāua ko Napatari i ngā wāhi teitei o te pārae.

19 "I haere mai ngā kīngi, i whawhai,

nā, ka whawhai ngā kīngi o Kanaana

ki Tānaka, ki te taha o ngā wai o Mekiro;

kīhai tētahi moni i riro hei taonga mō i rātou.

20 I whawhai iho rātou i te rangi;

i whawhai ngā whetū i ō rātou huarahi ki a Hihera.

21 I kāhakina atu rātou e te awa, e Kihona,

e taua awa tawhito, e te awa, e Kihona.

E tōku wairua, haere tonu i runga i te kaha.

22 Takatakahi ana i reira ngā pāua o ngā hōiho,

nā ngā pekenga, nā ngā tūpeketanga a ō rātou mārohirohi.

23 ‘Kangā a Meroho,’ e ai tā te anahera a Ihowā;

‘kangā kinotia ngā tāngata o reira;

mō rātou kīhai i haere mai hei āwhina mō Ihowā,

hei āwhina mō Ihowā ki te whawhai ki te hunga nunui.’

24 "Kia manaakitia i roto i ngā wāhine a Taere

wahine a Hēpere Keni;

kia manaakitia i roto i ngā wāhine o te tēneti.

25 I tonoa e tuahangata he wai mōna, he waiū tāna i hoatu ai,

kawea ana e ia he pata i roto i te peihana rangatira.

26 Totoro atu ana tōna ringa ki te titi

tōna matau ki te hama a ngā kaimahi;

hama iho e ia a Hihera,

ākina iho tōna pane;

titia iho hoki e ia tōna rahirahinga ā puta rawa.

27 Kūpapa ana ia ki ōna waewae,

hinga ana, takoto ana;

i kūpapa ia, i hinga, ki ōna waewae;

ko te wāhi i kūpapa ai ia,

hinga ana ia i reira, mate rawa.

28 "I titiro mai te whaea o Hihera i te matapihi,

i karanga hoki i te wini whakakahokaho,

‘Nā te aha i roa ai te haere mai o tana hāriata?

Nā te aha i pūhoi ai ngā wīra o ana hāriata?’

29 Ka utua e ngā mea mōhio o āna wāhine rangatira;

āe, ko ia anō hei whakahoki ake i te kupu ki a ia anō,

30 ‘Kāhore rānei rātou i tūpono atu, i wehewehe i ngā taonga?

He kōtiro, tokorua ngā kōtiro ki tērā, ki tērā;

he taonga kōtingotingo tō Hihera,

he taonga kōtingotingo, he mea whatu ki te ngira,

he mea kōtingotingo, he mea whatu ki te ngira i tētahi taha, i tētahi taha,

mō ngā kakī o te hunga i te taonga parakete?’

31 "Kia pēnā te whakangaromanga o ōu hoariri katoa, e Ihowā.

Kia rite ia te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia ki te rā

i tōna putanga kaha mai."

Nā, e whā tekau ngā tau i okioki ai te whenua.
