ABP - Judges - 5

5:1  And [6sang 1Deborah 2and 3Barak 4son 5of Abinoam] in that day, and said,

5:2  In the rule of chiefs in Israel, in resolve of people, bless the lord!

5:3  Hear, O kings! Give ear, O satraps! I [2to the 3 lord 1shall sing], and I shall strum to the God of Israel.

5:4  O lord, in your exodus from Seir, in your departing from out of the field of Edom, the earth was shaken, and indeed the heaven was disturbed, and the clouds dripped water.

5:5  Mountains shook from the face of the lord; this Sinai from the face of the lord God of Israel.

5:6  In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, [2failed 1the ways], and they went by short cuts. They went by ways being turned aside.

5:7  [5failed 1The 2ones dwelling 3in 4Israel], they failed until of which time Deborah rose up, that [2rose up 1a mother] in Israel.

5:8  They selected new gods, then [3waged war 1cities 2of rulers]; [3for protection 4of young women 1spears 2appeared], even a spear -- forty thousand in Israel.

5:9  My heart is with the things ordered to Israel. The mighty of the people -- you bless the lord!

5:10  O ones mounting upon beasts of burden, upon covered royal chariots, sitting down upon a judgment seat, and going by the way -- utter!

5:11  A sound of the men playing music in the midst of ones making merry. There they shall give righteousness to the lord. O righteousness grow in strength in Israel! Then shall go down into his cities the people of the lord.

5:12  Awaken, awaken, O Deborah! Awaken, awaken! Speak with an ode! Rise up, O Barak! And take captive your captivity, O son of Abinoam!

5:13  Then [2was magnified 1his strength]. O lord abase to me the ones stronger than me! People Ephraim punished them in the valley. Your brother Benjamin among your peoples.

5:14  Ephraim rooted them out among Amalek. After you, Benjamin, with your peoples. Of me, Machir, they came down searching out; and from Zebulun growing in strength in chiefdom of the narrative of a scribe.

5:15  And the rulers were in Issachar with Deborah and Issachar; so Barak in the valley sent out his footmen in the divisions of Reuben -- in great restrictions of heart.

5:16  Why with me did you settle between the sheepfolds to listen to whistlings arousing to go through for the ones of Reuben -- in great trackings out of heart?

5:17  Gilead [2on 3the 4other side 5of the 6Jordan 1encamped]. And Dan -- why does he sojourn in boats? Asher sojourns by the shore of seas, and at his breaches he will encamp.

5:18  Zebulun -- a people berating their soul to death; and Naphtali was upon the heights of a field.

5:19  [2came 1Kings] and deployed; then [3waged war 1the kings 2of Canaan] in Taanach, at the water of Megiddo; a desire for wealth of silver they did not have.

5:20  From the heaven they deployed; the stars from their order deployed against Sisera.

5:21  The rushing stream Kishon cast them out, the rushing stream of antiquity, the rushing stream Kishon; [4shall trample 5them 3soul 1my 2mighty].

5:22  Then they were impeded, the heels of horses [2with diligence 1were hastened] by his mighty ones.

5:23  Curse Meroz! said the angel of the lord. With a curse, curse every one dwelling in it! for they came not to the help of the lord. The lord is a helper against warriors.

5:24  May she be blessed of women -- Jael wife of Heber the Kenite; above the women in the tent may she be blessed.

5:25  [3for water 1He asked 2her], and [2milk 1she gave] to him in a pan; [3of strong ones 1she drew near 2butter].

5:26  [2her hand 3for 4a peg 1She stretched out], and her right for the hammer of a laborer; and she struck [2with a hammer 1Sisera]; she nailed his head; yes, she struck, she nailed his temple.

5:27  In between her feet bowing he fell; he slept between her feet; he bent; he fell; in which he bent there he fell miserably.

5:28  Through the window [4looked 5and 6studied 1the 2mother 3of Sisera] -- through the latticed window. Why was [2late 1his chariot] to arrive? Why did [3pass time 1the track 2of his chariots]?

5:29  [3wise ladies 2leading 1Her] answered to her, and she returned her words to herself.

5:30  Shall they not find him dividing the spoils? Befriending friends to [2head ruler 1a mighty]. Spoils of dyed things for Sisera, spoils of dyed embroidery dipped. Dyed embroidered works, [2for his neck 1spoils].

5:31  Thus may [3be destroyed 1all 2your enemies], O lord. And the ones loving him be as the rising of the sun in his power. And [3was quiet 1the 2land] forty years.
