1 Nang magkagayo'y umawit si Debora at si Barac na anak ni Abinoam nang araw na yaon, na sinasabi,

2 Sapagka't namatnubay ang mga tagapatnubay sa Israel, Sapagka't ang bayan ay humandog na kusa, Purihin ninyo ang Panginoon.

3 Dinggin ninyo, Oh ninyong mga hari; pakinggan ninyo, Oh ninyong mga prinsipe; Ako, ako'y aawit sa Panginoon, Ako'y aawit ng pagpupuri sa Panginoon, na Dios ng Israel.

4 Panginoon, nang ikaw ay lumabas sa Seir, Nang ikaw ay yumaon mula sa bukid ng Edom, Ang lupa'y nayanig, ang langit naman ay pumatak, Oo, ang mga alapaap ay nagpatak ng tubig.

5 Ang mga bundok ay humuho sa harap ng Panginoon, Pati yaong Sinai, sa harap ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel.

6 Sa mga kaarawan ni Samgar na anak ni Anat, Sa mga kaarawan ni Jael, ang mga paglalakbay ay naglikat, At ang mga manglalakbay ay bumagtas sa mga lihis na landas.

7 Ang mga pinuno ay naglikat sa Israel, sila'y naglikat, Hanggang sa akong si Debora, ay bumangon, Na ako'y bumangon na isang ina sa Israel.

8 Sila'y nagsipili ng mga bagong dios; Nang magkagayo'y nagkaroon ng digma sa mga pintuang-bayan: May nakita kayang kalasag o sibat sa apat na pung libo sa Israel?

9 Ang aking puso ay nasa mga gobernador sa Israel, Na nagsihandog na kusa sa bayan; Purihin ninyo ang Panginoon!

10 Saysayin ninyo, ninyong mga nakasakay sa mapuputing asno, Ninyong nangakaupo sa maiinam na latag, At ninyong nangagsisilakad sa daan.

11 Malayo sa ingay ng mga manghuhutok, sa mga dakong igiban ng tubig, Doon sila magpapanibagong magsanay sa mga matuwid na gawa ng Panginoon, Ng mga matuwid na gawa ng kaniyang pagpupuno sa Israel. Bumaba nga ang bayan ng Panginoon sa mga pintuang-bayan.

12 Gumising ka, gumising ka, Debora; gumising ka, gumising ka, bumigkas ka ng awit: Bumangon ka, Barac, at ihatid mo ang iyong mga bihag, ikaw na anak ni Abinoam.

13 Nagsibaba nga ang nalabi sa mga mahal, at ang bayan; Ang Panginoon ay bumaba dahil sa akin laban sa mga makapangyarihan.

14 Sa Ephraim nangagmula silang nasa Amalec ang ugat; Sa likuran mo, ay ang Benjamin, na kasama ng iyong mga bayan; Sa Machir nangagmula ang mga gobernador, At sa Zabulon yaong nangaghahawak ng tungkod ng pagpupuno.

15 At ang mga prinsipe sa Issachar ay kasama ni Debora; Na kung paano si Issachar ay gayon si Barac, Sa libis nagsisubasob sa kaniyang paanan. Sa tabi ng mga agusan ng tubig ng Ruben ay nagkaroon ng mga dakilang pasiya ng puso.

16 Bakit ka nakaupo sa gitna ng mga kulungan ng tupa, Upang makinig ba ng mga tawag sa mga kawan? Sa agusan ng tubig ng Ruben Nagkaroon ng mga dakilang pasiya ng puso.

17 Ang Galaad ay tumahan sa dako roon ng Jordan: At ang Dan, bakit siya'y natira sa mga sasakyan sa tubig? Ang Aser ay nanatili sa mga baybayin ng dagat, At nanahan sa kaniyang mga daong.

18 Ang Zabulon ay isang bayan na isinapanganib ang kanilang buhay sa ikamamatay, At ang Nephtali, ay sa matataas na dako ng bukiran.

19 Ang mga hari ay nagsiparito at nagsilaban; Nang magkagayo'y nagsilaban ang mga hari ng Canaan, Sa Taanach na nasa tabi ng tubig sa Megiddo: Sila'y hindi nagdala ng mga pakinabang na salapi.

20 Ang mga bituin ay nakipaglaban mula sa langit, Sa kanilang paglakad sila'y nakipaglaban kay Sisara.

21 Tinangay sila ng ilog Cison, Ng matandang ilog na yaon, ng ilog Cison. Oh kaluluwa ko, lumakad kang may lakas.

22 Nang magkagayo'y nagsiyabag ang mga kuko ng mga kabayo, Dahil sa mga pagdamba, sa pagdamba ng kanilang mga malakas.

23 Sumpain ninyo si Meroz, sabi ng anghel ng Panginoon, Sumpain ninyo ng kapaitpaitan ang mga tagaroon sa kaniya; Sapagka't sila'y hindi naparoon na tumulong sa Panginoon, Na tumulong sa Panginoon, laban sa mga makapangyarihan.

24 Pagpalain sa lahat ng babae si Jael, Ang asawa ni Heber na Cineo, Pagpalain siya sa lahat ng babae sa tolda.

25 Siya'y humingi ng tubig, at binigyan niya ng gatas; Kaniyang binigyan siya ng mantekilya sa pinggang mahal.

26 Kaniyang hinawakan ng kaniyang kamay ang tulos, At ng kaniyang kanang kamay ang pamukpok ng mga manggagawa; At sa pamamagitan ng pamukpok ay kaniyang sinaktan si Sisara, pinalagpasan niya sa kaniyang ulo, Oo, kaniyang tinarakan at pinalagpasan ang kaniyang pilipisan.

27 Sa kaniyang paanan ay nasubasob, siya'y nabuwal, siya'y nalugmok: Sa kaniyang paanan siya'y nasubasob, siya'y nabuwal. Kung saan siya sumubasob, doon siya nalugmok na patay.

28 Sa dungawan ay sumungaw, at sumigaw; Ang ina ni Sisara ay humiyaw mula sa mga silahia: Bakit kaya ang kaniyang karo ay nagluluwat ng pagdating? Bakit kaya bumabagal ang mga gulong ng kaniyang mga karo?

29 Ang kaniyang mga pantas na babae ay sumagot sa kaniya, Oo, siya'y nagbalik ng sagot sa kaniyang sarili,

30 Hindi ba sila nakasumpong, hindi ba nila binahagi ang samsam? Isang dalaga, dalawang dalaga sa bawa't lalake; Kay Sisara ay samsam na damit na may sarisaring kulay, Samsam na sarisaring kulay ang pagkaburda, Na sarisaring kulay, na burda sa dalawang tagiliran, Na suot sa leeg ng mga bihag?

31 Gayon malipol ang lahat ng iyong mga kaaway, Oh Panginoon: Nguni't yaong mga umiibig sa kaniya ay maging parang araw pagka lumalabas sa kaniyang kalakasan. At ang lupain ay nagpahinga na apat na pung taon.

8753. 'They came to the wilderness of Sinai' means, they entered a state of good in which the truths of faith were to be implanted. This is clear from the meaning of 'the wilderness of Sinai' as a state of good in which the truths of faith are to be implanted. Here 'wilderness' is good in which truths have not as yet been implanted, and 'Sinai' is actual truths. For 'wilderness' has a number of meanings, 3900, in general what is uninhabited and uncultivated, 2708, so that in the spiritual sense it means good which as yet has no truths in it; for good without truths is spiritually uncultivated. Consequently 'wilderness' means a new will which has not as yet been formed by means of the truths of faith, 8457.

[2] As regards 'Mount Sinai', in the highest sense it means Divine Truth emanating from Divine Good, Divine Good being meant by 'mountain' and Divine Truth by 'Sinai'. In the internal sense it means the truth of faith springing from good, in this instance the truth of faith that is to be implanted in good since the Law had not as yet been declared from there. The reason why 'Mount Sinai' has these meanings is that the Law was declared from there by the Lord, and the Law is Divine Truth emanating from Divine Good, and also is the truth of faith springing from good, 6752, 7463, 8695. This explains why the children of Israel encamped in the wilderness beside this mountain; for not only the Ten Commandments, which are the Law in a restricted sense, were declared from there, but also all the statutes of the Church, which, being representative, held within themselves the spiritual and celestial truths and forms of good of the Lord's kingdom. The fact that the Law was declared from that mountain is clear from Chapter Exodus 20 below; and the fact that the statutes of the Church were as well is clear from Exodus 21 and following chapters; and Leviticus 7:37-38; 27:34. 'Sinai' has the same meaning in David,

O God, when You went out before Your people, when You marched in the wilderness, the earth trembled; the heavens also dropped [rain] before God. This Sinai [trembled] before God. the God of Israel. You cause a rain of blessings to drop down, O God. Psalms 68:7-9.

Here 'Sinai' stands for truth which springs from good, for these are meant by 'the heavens dropped [rain] before God' and by 'God dropped a rain of blessings'.

[3] In the Book of Judges,

O Jehovah, when You went forth from Seir, when You set out from the field of the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, the clouds indeed dropped water, the mountains flowed down before Jehovah, Sinai itself before Jehovah God of Israel. In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the roads ceased to be, and those who went along by pathways kept to twisting roads; the streets in Israel ceased to be. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose, until I arose a mother in Israel. Judges 5:4-7.

Here also 'Sinai' stands for the Law or Divine Truth emanating from Divine Good, from which the truths of faith were implanted in the good of faith, those truths also being meant by 'the heavens dropped, and the clouds dropped water'. A lack of the truths of faith and the perversion of them is meant by 'the roads ceased to be, and those who went along by pathways kept to twisting roads', truths being meant by 'roads' or 'ways', 'pathways', and 'streets', see 627, 2333, 3123, 3477. For the theme of this prophetic song, which is the Song of Deborah and Barak, is the perversion of the Church's truth and the renewal of it.

[4] In Moses,

Jehovah came from Sinai, He dawned from Seir upon them; He shone from Mount Paran, and came out of myriads of holiness. From His right hand came a fiery law for them. Deuteronomy 33:2.

Here the children of Jacob are blessed by Moses before his death. He begins the prophetic utterance in his blessing with Jehovah came from Sinai, and in this instance 'Sinai' means the truths of faith in their entirety. The reason why he begins with these words is that all the truths and forms of the good of faith are meant by 'the children of Jacob', 3858, 3862, 3926, 3939, 6335, and in a similar way by 'the children of Israel', 5414, 5951, 5879.

Arcana Coelestia # 7463

7463. 'And Moses said, Behold, I go out from you' means the removal of the appearance of God's truth among them. This is clear from the representation of 'Moses' as the law of God, dealt with in 6723, 6752, thus God's truth also, 7014, 7381; and from the meaning of 'going out' as a removal, as above in 7404. For 'Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron' means the presence of God's truth, 7451, and therefore 'going out from him' here means a removal. In considering the presence and removal of God's truth among the evil, one should realize that truth from God sometimes appears to them, and that it does so through the presence of an angel near them. But with them truth from God does not come in by way of their interiors, as it does with the good, because their interiors are closed. It has an effect only on their exteriors. When this happens they are filled with fear and consequently self-abasement, for the presence of truth from God perturbs them and strikes fear into them that is like the fear of death. But when the truth from God is removed they return to their previous state of mind and have no fear. This is what is meant by the presence of the appearance of God's truth and its removal. It was also represented by Pharaoh, by his self-abasement while Moses was present with him, and his promise to send the people away to sacrifice to Jehovah, and by his 'making his heart stubborn after Moses had gone out from him', verse 28. For as shown above, 'Moses' represented the law of God or God's truth.

[2] The law of God and God's truth are one and the same because the law of God means the Word, and accordingly God's truth. The fact that 'the law means the Word and accordingly God's truth is clear from the following places: In John,

Jesus said, Is it not written in your law, I said, You are Gods? If He called them gods, with whom the Word came to be, and the Scripture cannot be broken . . . John 10:34-35.

'Written in the law' stands for the presence of those words in the Word, for they are written in David. In the same gospel,

The crowd said, We have heard from the Law that the Christ remains forever. John 12:34.

These words too are written in David. In the same gospel,

Jesus said, In order that the Word written in the Law might be fulfilled, They hated Me without a cause. John 15:25.

This as well is found in David. In Luke,

It is written in the Law of the Lord that every male opening the womb should be called holy to the Lord; and that they should offer a sacrifice, in keeping with what is written in the Law of the Lord, of a pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons. Luke 2:23-24, 39.

This command is contained in Moses. In the same gospel,

A lawyer testing Jesus said, What must I do to inherit eternal life? Jesus said to him. What is written in the Law? What is your reading of it? Luke 10:25-26.

[3] In the same gospel,

The Law and the Prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God is proclaimed. It is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the Law to fall. Luke 16:16-17.

There are other places besides this in which the Word is called the Law and the Prophets, such as Matthew 5:18; 7:12; 11:13; 22:36, 40. In Isaiah,

Bind up the testimony, seal the Law for the benefit of My disciples. Isaiah 8:16.

'The Law' stands for the Word. In the same prophet,

. . . lying sons, sons who did not wish to hear the Law of Jehovah. Isaiah 30:9.

In the same prophet,

He will set judgement on the earth, the islands hope for His Law. Isaiah 42:4.

This refers to the Lord, 'His Law' standing for the Word. In the same prophet,

Jehovah will magnify His Law. Isaiah 42:21.

In Jeremiah,

Thus said Jehovah, If you do not obey Me, to go in My Law which I have set before you, in order that you may hear the Word of My servants the prophets . . . Jeremiah 26:4-5.

Here 'the Law' stands for the Word, and in very many other places besides. From this it is evident that 'the Law' is the Word, and since it is the Word it is God's truth, as in Jeremiah,

This is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, said Jehovah: I will put [My] Law in the midst of them, and will write it on their heart. Jeremiah 31:33.

Here 'Jehovah's Law' stands for God's truth.

[4] In a broad sense 'the Law' is the whole Word, in a narrower sense the historical section of the Word, in an even narrower sense the Word written through Moses, and in a restricted sense the Ten Commandments, see 6752.

From all this one may now see why Moses is said to represent both the law of God and God's truth.
