RF JDG 5:1 Then Deborah and Barak-ben-Abinoam sang, saying;—
RF JDG 5:2 SONG OF DEBORAH AND BARAK.
DEBORAH.
"For free freedom in Israel,
You heroes and people bless the LORD."
RF JDG 5:3 BARAK.
"Let kings hear, let princes listen,
I, to the LORD, myself will sing;
I chant to the EVER-LIVING GOD of Israel."
RF JDG 5:4 THE TROOPS.
"LORD, in Your advance from Sair,—
In Your march thro' the field of Edom,—
The earth shook, the heavens poured down,
The storm clouds poured out water!
RF JDG 5:5 The mountains melted before the LORD;
Sinai itself before the LIVING GOD of Israel!"
RF JDG 5:6 DEBORAH.
"In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,
In the days of Yal the caravans ceased,
And travelers went in the bye-paths,—
Judges ceased—in Israel ceased,—
RF JDG 5:7 Till I, Deborah, arose,—
Till I arose, a mother to Israel!"
RF JDG 5:8 BARAK.
"They chose for themselves new gods!—
When there was war at the gates,
Was a shield or a spear to be seen,
In forty thousand of Israel?"
RF JDG 5:9 DEBORAH.
"My heart can picture Israel!—
Heroes among the People bless the LORD!"
RF JDG 5:10 THE TROOPS.
"You riders upon white asses,—
And you who dwell in the plain,—
And the trav'llers by roadways publish,
RF JDG 5:11 With the sound as of rushing waters,
The kindness the LORD has done;
The kindness to Israel's hamlets,
When the LORD'S force rushed down to the dales!"
RF JDG 5:12 BARAK.
"Arise! arise you! Deborah!
Awake, awake! and utter a song! "
DEBORAH.
"Arise, Barak, and conquer,—
Conqueror, son of Abinoam!
RF JDG 5:13 Let the Nobles and People descend;
The Lord sent me to summon heroes:
RF JDG 5:14 Come to me, Ephraim, rooted in Amalek;
Follow me, Benjamin, from your caves;
Come to me, Makir, with your chieftains;
With Zebulon wielding the writer's pen,
RF JDG 5:15 And Issachar's eloquent Princes;—
And along with Issakar, Barak,
Who directs the march with skill.
My heart aches for Reuben's absence;—
RF JDG 5:16 Why stayed he among the sheepfolds,
To hear the cries of his flocks?
My heart aches for Reuben's absence!
RF JDG 5:17 "Ghilad remained beyond the Jordan;—
But why stayed Dan in his ships?
And Ashur rest on the shore of the sea,
And continue to lie in his ports?
RF JDG 5:18 "Zebulon's men risked their lives to death,
With Naphtali from the highlands."
RF JDG 5:19 BARAK.
"Kings, came out to the war,
Like Canaan's Kings at Thanak,
Who fought by the Brook of Megiddo;—
They took no silver as plunder;—
The stars, they fought from the skies,—
RF JDG 5:20 The stars from their high course fought against Sisera!—
RF JDG 5:21 The river Kishon swept them away,
That ancient river—the river Kishon!"
DEBORAH.
"Rush strongly along, my life!
RF JDG 5:22 How the hoofs of the horses sound,
With their mighty leapings and prancings!
RF JDG 5:23 "Curse Meroz,' said the man of the LORD,
When cursing, curse its people,—
For they came not with help to the LORD,
To help the LORD and His heroes! '
RF JDG 5:24 "But bless the children of Jael,—
The wife of Heber the Kenite,
Bless all the sons of her tent.
RF JDG 5:25 "He asked her water,—she gave him milk!
She offered him butter on a beautiful dish!
RF JDG 5:26 Then she stretched her hand to the nail,
Her right hand to the workman's hammer,—
And Sisera pierced through his head,
And broke, and drove through his temples!
RF JDG 5:27 At her feet he bowed,—fell down,—
At her feet he bowed,—fell down,—
When he bowed, he fell down dead!"
RF JDG 5:28 THE TROOPS.
"Sisera's mother, at the evening hour-,
Bent and watched from her window;—
'What prevents his chariot's return?
What delays the tramp of his chargers?'
RF JDG 5:29 Her wise women answered to her,—
Nay, continued her words to herself,—
RF JDG 5:30 'Have they not found plenty of plunder?
A lovely girl for the generals,
And a plunder of robes for Sisera?
A plunder of robes embroidered,—
Embroidered robes for the necks of the victors?'"
RF JDG 5:31 DEBORAH, BARAK, AND TROOPS.
"LORD! thus destroy Your foes:—
But let Your friends march on,
Like the sun in his glory! "
—————
After this the country rested for forty years.
