Judges 5
|
Então cantaram Débora e Baraque, filho de Abinoão, naquele dia, dizendo: | At that time Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, made this song, saying: |
Porquanto os chefes se puseram à frente em Israel, porquanto o povo se ofereceu voluntariamente, louvai ao Senhor. | Because of the flowing hair of the fighters in Israel, because the people gave themselves freely, give praise to the Lord. |
Ouvi, ó reis; dai ouvidos, ó príncipes! eu cantarei ao Senhor, salmodiarei ao Senhor Deus de Israel. | Give attention, O kings; give ear, O rulers; I, even I, will make a song to the Lord; I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel. |
ç Senhor, quando saíste de Seir, quando caminhaste desde o campo de Edom, a terra estremeceu, os céus gotejaram, sim, as nuvens gotejaram águas. | Lord, when you went out from Seir, moving like an army from the field of Edom, the earth was shaking and the heavens were troubled, and the clouds were dropping water. |
Os montes se abalaram diante do Senhor, e até Sinai, diante do Senhor Deus de Israel. | The mountains were shaking before the Lord, before the Lord, the God of Israel. |
Nos dias de Sangar, filho de Anate, nos dias de Jael, cessaram as caravanas; e os que viajavam iam por atalhos desviados. | In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were not used, and travellers went by side roads. |
Cessaram as aldeias em Israel, cessaram; até que eu Débora, me levantei, até que eu me levantei por mãe em Israel. | Country towns were no more in Israel, *** were no more, till you, Deborah, came up, till you came up as a mother in Israel. |
Escolheram deuses novos; logo a guerra estava às portas; via-se porventura escudo ou lança entre quarenta mil em Israel? | They had no one to make arms, there were no more armed men in the towns; was there a body-cover or a spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel? |
Meu coração inclina-se para os guias de Israel, que voluntariamente se ofereceram entre o povo. Bendizei ao Senhor. | Come, you rulers of Israel, you who gave yourselves freely among the people: give praise to the Lord. |
Louvai-o vós, os que cavalgais sobre jumentas brancas, que vos assentais sobre ricos tapetes; e vós, que andais pelo caminho. | Let them give thought to it, who go on white asses, and those who are walking on the road. |
Onde se ouve o estrondo dos flecheiros, entre os lugares onde se tiram águas, ali falarão das justiças do Senhor, das justiças que fez às suas aldeias em Israel; então o povo do Senhor descia às portas. | Give ear to the women laughing by the water-springs; there they will give again the story of the upright acts of the Lord, all the upright acts of his arm in Israel. |
Desperta, desperta, Débora; desperta, desperta, entoa um cântico; levanta-te, Baraque, e leva em cativeiro os teus prisioneiros, tu, filho de Abinoão. | Awake! awake! Deborah: awake! awake! give a song: Up! Barak, and take prisoner those who took you prisoner, O son of Abinoam. |
Então desceu o restante dos nobres e do povo; desceu o Senhor por mim contra os poderosos. | Then the chiefs went down to the doors; the Lord's people went down among the strong ones. |
De Efraim desceram os que tinham a sua raiz em Amaleque, após ti, Benjamim, entre os teus povos; de Maquir desceram os guias, e de Zebulom os que levam o báculo do inspetor de tropas. | Out of Ephraim they came down into the valley; after you, Benjamin, among your tribesmen; from Machir came down the captains, and from Zebulun those in whose hand is the ruler's rod. |
Também os príncipes de Issacar estavam com Débora; e como Issacar, assim também Baraque; ao vale precipitaram-se em suas pegadas. Junto aos ribeiros de Rúben grandes foram as resoluções do coração. | Your chiefs, Issachar, were with Deborah; and Naphtali was true to Barak; into the valley they went rushing out at his feet. In Reuben there were divisions, and great searchings of heart. |
Por que ficastes entre os currais a escutar os balidos dos rebanhos? Junto aos ribeiros de Rúben grandes foram as resoluções do coração. | Why did you keep quiet among the sheep, hearing nothing but the watchers piping to the flocks? |
Gileade ficou da banda dalém do Jordão; e Dã, por que se deteve com seus navios? Aser se assentou na costa do mar e ficou junto aos seus portos. | Gilead was living over Jordan; and Dan was waiting in his ships; Asher kept in his place by the sea's edge, living by his inlets. |
Zebulom é um povo que se expôs à morte, como também Naftali, nas alturas do campo. | It was the people of Zebulun who put their lives in danger, even to death, with Naphtali on the high places of the field. |
Vieram reis e pelejaram; pelejaram os reis de Canaã, em Taanaque junto às águas de Megido; não tomaram despojo de prata. | The kings came on to the fight, the kings of Canaan were warring; in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: they took no profit in money. |
Desde os céus pelejaram as estrelas; desde as suas órbitas pelejaram contra Sísera. | The stars from heaven were fighting; from their highways they were fighting against Sisera. |
O ribeiro de Quisom os arrastou, aquele antigo ribeiro, o ribeiro de Quisom. Ó minha alma, calcaste aos pés a força. | The river Kishon took them violently away, stopping their flight, the river Kishon. Give praise, O my soul, to the strength of the Lord! |
Então os cascos dos cavalos feriram a terra na fuga precipitada dos seus valentes. | Then loudly the feet of the horses were sounding with the stamping, the stamping of their war-horses. |
Amaldiçoai a Meroz, diz o anjo do Senhor, amaldiçoai acremente aos seus habitantes; porquanto não vieram em socorro do Senhor, em socorro do Senhor, entre os valentes. | A curse, a curse on Meroz! said the angel of the Lord. A bitter curse on her townspeople! Because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among the strong ones. |
Bendita entre todas as mulheres será Jael, mulher de Heber, o queneu; bendita será entre as mulheres nômades. | Blessings be on Jael, more than on all women! Blessings greater than on any in the tents! |
Água pediu ele, leite lhe deu ela; em taça de príncipes lhe ofereceu coalhada. | His request was for water, she gave him milk; she put butter before him on a fair plate. |
 estaca estendeu a mão esquerda, e ao martelo dos trabalhadores a direita, e matou a Sísera, rachando-lhe a cabeça; furou e traspassou-lhe as fontes. | She put out her hand to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workman's hammer; and she gave Sisera a blow, crushing his head, wounding and driving through his brow. |
Aos pés dela ele se encurvou, caiu, ficou estirado; aos pés dela se encurvou, caiu; onde se encurvou, ali caiu morto. | Bent at her feet he went down, he was stretched out; bent at her feet he went down; where he was bent down, there he went down in death. |
A mãe de Sísera olhando pela janela, através da grade exclamava: Por que tarda em vir o seu carro? por que se demora o rumor das suas carruagens? | Looking out from the window she gave a cry, the mother of Sisera was crying out through the window, Why is his carriage so long in coming? When will the noise of his wheels be sounding? |
As mais sábias das suas damas responderam, e ela respondia a si mesma: | Her wise women gave answer to her, yes, she made answer again to herself, |
Não estão, porventura, achando e repartindo os despojos? uma ou duas donzelas a cada homem? para Sísera despojos de estofos tintos, despojos de estofos tintos bordados, bordados de várias cores, para o meu pescoço? | Are they not getting, are they not parting the goods among them: a young girl or two to every man; and to Sisera robes of coloured needlework, worked in fair colours on this side and on that, for the neck of the queen? |
Assim ó Senhor, pereçam todos os teus inimigos! Sejam, porém, os que te amam, como o sol quando se levanta na sua força. E a terra teve sossego por quarenta anos. | So may destruction come on all your haters, O Lord; but let your lovers be like the sun going out in his strength. And for forty years the land had peace. |
