1 Entonces Débora y Barac cantaron esta canción:
1 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
2 «Por cuanto condujo valientemente a los caudillos de Israel, y el pueblo alegremente lo siguió, alaben al Señor.
2 “Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, Yahweh!
3 »Oigan bien, reyes y príncipes, porque cantaré 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 »Cuando nos hiciste salir de Seír, oh Señor, y nos guiaste por los campos de Edom, la tierra tembló y el cielo derramó su lluvia.
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 Sí, aun el monte Sinaí tembló ante la presencia del 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 y de Jael, los principales caminos quedaron desiertos. Los viajeros usaban senderos estrechos y tortuosos.
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 Los pueblos de Israel quedaron abandonados, hasta que yo, Débora, surgí como una madre para Israel.
7 The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother in Israel.
8 Cuando Israel buscó nuevos dioses, todo se desplomó, nuestros amos no nos dejaban tener ni escudo ni espada; entre los cuarenta mil valientes de Israel ni un arma podía ser hallada.
8 They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 ¡Cuánto me regocijo en los caudillos de Israel que se ofrecieron voluntariamente! ¡Alaben al Señor!
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Yahweh!
10 »Que todo Israel, ricos y pobres, se unan en sus alabanzas: los que cabalgan en burros blancos y se sientan en ricas alfombras y los que son pobres y deben caminar.
10 “Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk by the way.
11 Canten los pastores junto al pozo de agua. Canten por toda la ciudad. Cuenten allí las justicias del Señor. Lo que él hizo por los campesinos de Israel.
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, oh Débora, y canta! ¡Levántate, oh Barac, oh hijo de Abinoam, y lleva tus cautivos!
12 ‘Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.’
13 »Desde el monte Tabor descendió el noble remanente. El pueblo del Señor marchó contra los poderosos.
13 “Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down. Yahweh came down for me against the mighty.
14 Vinieron de Efraín y Benjamín, de Maquir y Zabulón.
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 Hacia el valle descendieron los príncipes de Isacar con Débora y Barac. Ante el mandato de Dios se precipitaron hacia el valle. Pero la tribu de Rubén no fue.
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 sentaste en casa entre los rediles, a oír los balidos de tus ovejas? Sí, la tribu de Rubén tiene la conciencia intranquila.
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 ¿Por qué Galaad se quedó al otro lado del Jordán; y por qué Dan se quedó con sus naves, y por qué Aser se sentó inconmovible junto a las costas, reposando en sus bahías?
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 Pero las tribus de Zabulón y Neftalí expusieron sus vidas en el 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 »Los reyes de Canaán pelearon en Tanac, junto a los manantiales de Meguido, pero no obtuvieron la victoria.
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 Las mismas estrellas del cielo pelearon contra Sísara.
20 From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
21 El arroyo de Cisón los barrió. ¡Adelante, oh alma mía, con fortaleza!
21 The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
22 Escucha las pisadas de los caballos de los enemigos. Escucha el galopar de los valientes.
22 Then the horse hoofs stamped because of the prancing, the prancing of their strong ones.
23 »Pero el ángel del Señor lanzó una maldición sobre Meroz. “Que el Señor los castigue con dureza”, dijo, “porque no vinieron a ayudar al Señor contra sus enemigos”.
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, la esposa de Héber el quenita! ¡Sea ella bendita por sobre todas las amas de casa!
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 en una hermosa taza.
25 He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
26 Entonces tomó una estaca y un mazo y partió las sienes de Sísara, aplastando su cabeza. Traspasó con la estaca su cabeza.
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 Y él quedó muerto entre sus piernas.
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 miraba por la ventana esperando su regreso: “¿Por qué su carro demora tanto en llegar? ¿Por qué no oímos el sonido 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 doncellas le respondían y ella misma también lo decía:
29 Her wise ladies answered her, Yes, she returned answer to herself,
30 “Hay mucho botín que distribuir, y eso lleva tiempo. Cada hombre recibe una o dos jovencitas, y Sísara recibirá las vestiduras de colores y traerá a su hogar muchos obsequios para mí”.
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 »Oh Señor, que todos tus enemigos perezcan como Sísara; pero los que aman al Señor resplandezcan como el sol a mediodía». Después de esto hubo paz en el país 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.
