¶ Then sang Deborah with Barak, the son of Abinoam, on that day, saying,

2 P orquanto os chefes se puseram ã frente em Israel, porquanto o povo se ofereceu voluntariamente, louvai ao Senhor.

Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.

3 O uvi, ó reis; dai ouvidos, ó príncipes! eu cantarei ao Senhor, salmodiarei ao Senhor Deus de Israel.

Hear, O ye kings. Give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will praise the LORD God of Israel.

The inhabitants of the villages ceased; they had ceased in Israel until I Deborah arose, I arose a mother in Israel.

8 E scolheram deuses novos; logo a guerra estava

Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that preside in judgment, and walk by the way.

11 O nde se ouve o estrondo dos flecheiros, entre os lugares onde se tiram águas, ali falarão das justiças do Senhor, das justiças que fez

Because of the noise of archers, taken from among those that draw water, there they shall retell the righteousnesses of the LORD, even the righteousnesses of his villages in Israel. Now shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.

The mother of Sisera looked out the window and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why do the wheels of his chariots tarry?

29 A s mais sábias das suas damas responderam, e ela respondia a si mesma:

Her wise princesses answered her; and she even answered to herself,

30 N ão 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?

Have they not found spoil and are dividing it? To each man a damsel or two; to Sisera a spoil of different colours, a spoil of different colours of needlework, of different colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of those that take the spoil?

31 A ssim 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 let all thine enemies perish, O LORD, but let those that love thee be as the sun when he rises in all his might. And the land had rest forty years.
