1 Aquel día Débora y Barac hijo de Abinoam cantaron esta canción:
1 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
2 «Cuando los guerreros de Israel se levantaron para luchar y el pueblo se ofreció voluntariamente, ¡alaben al Señor!
2 “Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, Yahweh!
3 Escuchen, reyes; presten atención, gobernantes. Yo cantaré al Señor; cantaré alabanzas al Señor, el Dios de Israel.
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 Señor, cuando saliste de Seír, cuando avanzaste desde los campos de Edom, la tierra tembló, los cielos se estremecieron y las nubes derramaron agua.
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 Los montes temblaron ante el Señor, ante el Señor, el Dios de Israel.
5 The mountains quaked at Yahweh’s presence, even Sinai at the presence of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
6 En los días de Samgar hijo de Anat, en los días de Jael, los caminos principales quedaron vacíos, y los viajeros usaban caminos apartados.
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 La vida en las aldeas de Israel desapareció; desapareció hasta que yo, Débora, me levanté como madre en Israel.
7 The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother in Israel.
8 No había quien fabricara armas; ya no había hombres armados en las ciudades. ¿Se veía un escudo o una lanza entre cuarenta mil hombres de 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 Mi corazón está con los jefes de Israel, con los que se ofrecieron voluntariamente entre el pueblo. ¡Alaben al Señor!
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Yahweh!
10 Ustedes que montan asnas blancas y ustedes que caminan por los caminos, piensen en esto.
10 “Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk by the way.
11 Escuchen las voces junto a los lugares donde sacan agua. Allí cuentan las obras justas del Señor, las obras justas que hizo por las aldeas de Israel. Entonces el pueblo del Señor bajó a las puertas.
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 ¡Despierta, despierta, Débora! ¡Despierta, despierta y canta! ¡Levántate, Barac! Lleva cautivos a los que te hicieron cautivo, hijo de Abinoam.
12 ‘Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.’
13 Entonces los jefes bajaron a las puertas; el pueblo del Señor bajó entre los fuertes.
13 “Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down. Yahweh came down for me against the mighty.
14 De Efraín bajaron al valle; después de ti vino Benjamín entre tu gente. De Maquir bajaron los jefes, y de Zabulón los que llevaban la vara de mando.
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 Los jefes de Isacar estaban con Débora, e Isacar fue fiel a Barac. Bajaron corriendo al valle detrás de él. Pero entre los grupos de Rubén hubo grandes dudas de corazón.
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 ¿Por qué te quedaste entre los corrales escuchando los silbidos de los pastores? Entre los grupos de Rubén hubo grandes dudas de corazón.
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 Galaad se quedó al otro lado del Jordán. ¿Y por qué Dan se quedó junto a sus barcos? Aser permaneció junto a la costa del mar y se quedó cerca de sus puertos.
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 Zabulón arriesgó su vida hasta la muerte, y también Neftalí, en las alturas del campo de batalla.
18 Zebulun was a people that jeopardized their lives to the death; Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
19 Vinieron los reyes y lucharon; los reyes de Canaán hicieron guerra en Taanac, junto a las aguas de Meguido. Pero no se llevaron plata como botín.
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 Desde el cielo lucharon las estrellas; desde sus caminos lucharon contra Sísara.
20 From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
21 El río Cisón se los llevó con violencia y les impidió huir, aquel antiguo río, el río Cisón. ¡Alaba, alma mía, la fuerza del Señor!
21 The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
22 Entonces resonaron los cascos de los caballos con el fuerte galope de sus animales de guerra.
22 Then the horse hoofs stamped because of the prancing, the prancing of their strong ones.
23 “¡Maldigan a Meroz!”, dijo el ángel del Señor. “Maldigan con fuerza a sus habitantes, porque no vinieron a ayudar al Señor, a ayudar al Señor contra los poderosos”.
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 Bendita sea Jael entre las mujeres, más bendita que cualquier mujer que vive en tiendas.
24 “Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 Sísara pidió agua, y ella le dio leche; le sirvió mantequilla en un buen recipiente.
25 He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
26 Con una mano tomó la estaca de la tienda y con la derecha el martillo de un obrero. Golpeó a Sísara, le aplastó la cabeza, lo hirió y le atravesó la frente.
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 A sus pies se dobló y cayó; a sus pies se dobló y quedó tendido. Allí donde cayó, quedó muerto.
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 La madre de Sísara miró por la ventana y gritó desde detrás de la reja: “¿Por qué tarda tanto en llegar su carro? ¿Por qué no se oye todavía el ruido de sus ruedas?”
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 Sus mujeres sabias le respondieron, y ella misma se repetía la respuesta:
29 Her wise ladies answered her, Yes, she returned answer to herself,
30 “Seguro están encontrando botín y repartiéndolo: una muchacha o dos para cada hombre; para Sísara, vestidos de colores, telas bordadas con hermosos colores por ambos lados, para el cuello de la reina”.
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 Así sean destruidos todos tus enemigos, Señor. Pero los que te aman sean como el sol cuando sale con toda su fuerza». Y la tierra tuvo paz durante cuarenta años.
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.
