5:12 Wake up, wake up, Deborah!
Wake up, wake up, sing a song!
Get up, Barak!
Capture your prisoners of war,
5:13 Then the survivors
the Lord’s people came down to me
5:14 They came from Ephraim, who uprooted Amalek,
they follow
From Makir leaders came down,
from Zebulun came
5:15 Issachar’s leaders were with Deborah,
the men of Issachar
into the valley they were sent under Barak’s command.
Among the clans of Reuben there was intense
5:16 Why do you remain among the sheepfolds,
listening to the shepherds playing their pipes
As for the clans of Reuben – there was intense searching of heart.
5:17 Gilead stayed put
As for Dan – why did he seek temporary employment in the shipyards?
Asher remained
he stayed
5:18 The men of Zebulun were not concerned about their lives;
Naphtali charged on to the battlefields.
