5:11 j179 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche מִ⁠קּ֣וֹל מְחַֽצְצִ֗ים 1 The song is using the **voice** of these **singers** to represent the song they are singing with their voices. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “From the song of the singers”
5:11 v4bj rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-collectivenouns מִ⁠קּ֣וֹל מְחַֽצְצִ֗ים 1 Since the song is referring to a group of people, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of **voice**. Alternate translation: “From the voices of the singers”

This is by association with the fact that it was wrong for Jabin to oppress the Israelites, and so by defeating him, the victors restored a situation that was right or righteous. Alternate translation: “what Yahweh and his peasantry in Israel did to restore a right situation”

See how you translated the same expression in [5:8](../05/08.md). Alternate translation: “returned to live in the cities that their enemies had conquered”
5:12 de7e rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor עוּרִ֤י עוּרִי֙ דְּבוֹרָ֔ה ע֥וּרִי ע֖וּרִי דַּבְּרִי־שִׁ֑יר 1 The song is addressing Deborah as if she were literally asleep and needed to wake up. (Baruk may be singing this part; see the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter.) This is actually a call for Deborah to apply vitality and creativity to the task of celebrating Yahwehs victory through this song. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: “Come on, Deborah, sing in a lively way!”

If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “You certainly must not be drowsy as you sing, Deborah!”

Alternate translation: “You certainly must not be drowsy as you sing, Deborah!”
5:12 j182 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry דַּבְּרִי־שִׁ֑יר 1 This does not mean that Deborah should stop singing and only speak the words of the song. It is actually play on words in Hebrew: the word translated as **speak** has the same three root letters as Deborahs name, D-B-R. Your language may have an expression that you could use in your translation to bring out the meaning here. Alternate translation: “make the song your own”
5:12 j183 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom ק֥וּם 1 The expression **Arise** does not mean that Barak should get out of bed or stand up from a seated position. Rather, it means that Barak should take action. Deborah could be the one singing this line (see the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter), and it could be intentionally reminiscent of [4:14](../04/14.md), where she used the same expression to tell him that it was time to attack Sisera. See how you translated the expression there.
5:12 j184 rc://*/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry וּֽ⁠שֲׁבֵ֥ה שֶׁבְיְ⁠ךָ֖ 1 For emphasis, the song is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “and lead away all of your prisoners”

You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “Some from Ephraim, whose root is in Amalek, came down; they came after you, Benjamin, with your peoples … and from Zebulun, the ones holding onto the scepter of a scribe also came down”
5:14 e478 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor מִנִּ֣י אֶפְרַ֗יִם שָׁרְשָׁ⁠ם֙ בַּ⁠עֲמָלֵ֔ק 1 The song is speaking as if the people of the tribe of Ephraim were literally a plant whose **root** was in the territory that formerly belonged to the Amalek people group. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “People from the tribe of Ephraim, which defeated the Amalekites and took their territory”
5:14 k3ph rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-apostrophe אַחֲרֶ֥י⁠ךָ בִנְיָמִ֖ין בַּֽ⁠עֲמָמֶ֑י⁠ךָ 1 Here the song could be speaking to a group of people who are not there to hear it, the people of the tribe of **Benjamin**, in order to express strong approval of the way the soldiers from that tribe came and fought for Israel. The song would actually be speaking to the people who could hear it, initially the soldiers and others who gathered for the victory celebration at which it was first performed. However, some people from the tribe of Benjamin probably were present at the celebration, so the direct address with **you** and **your** could be literal. On the other hand, as [5:910](../05/09.md) shows, this song was later sung in other contexts where people from Benjamin were not necessarily present. So it may be clearer in some languages to translate this without using second-person pronouns and to express the emphasis in some other way. Alternate translation: “they followed the brave soldiers from the tribe of Benjamin”
5:14 j190 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche מִנִּ֣י מָכִ֗יר יָֽרְדוּ֙ מְחֹ֣קְקִ֔ים 1 The song is using these **commanders** to men them and the troops they commanded.

Each leader is called a **scribe** because one of his duties was to record the names of soldiers who enlisted and keep a total of the number of soldiers in the army. But the focus here is not on that duty but on the fact that these were military leaders, like the **commanders** mentioned in the previous phrase.

5:15 sdi1 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor גְּדֹלִ֖ים חִקְקֵי־לֵֽב 1 Here the **heart** represents the thoughts and intentions. The song is speaking as if the people of Reuben needed to look around inside their hearts to find out what they should do. The word translated as **searchings** is also a rare word whose meaning is not entirely clear in this context. This could mean: (1) that the people of Reuben could not decide whether to help fight. Your language may have a comparable expression for this meaning that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: “people had second thoughts about whether to fight” (2) that the people of Reuben publicly expressed a resolve to help fight Sisera but, as the next verse shows, they did not follow through.

If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You should not have stayed among the sheepfolds, as if it was more important to listen to the piping for the flocks!”

It is doing this to express a strong feeling about that person to the people who are present. If a speaker of your language would not address someone who was not present, you could translate this as if the song were directly addressing those who are present.

It may be more natural in some languages to use a plural form of “you,” since a group of people is actually being addressed.
5:16 j198 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit לִ⁠שְׁמֹ֖עַ שְׁרִק֣וֹת עֲדָרִ֑ים 1 The song is implicitly making a comparison that it expects listeners to recognize. When Barak summoned the Israelites in [4:10](../04/10.md), it is likely that he blew a shofar (rams horn), as Ehud did in [3:27](../03/27.md). The song is suggesting that the men of Reuben so much enjoyed listening to shepherds play their pipes to summon their flocks that they did not pay attention to the war trumpet. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “Was it because you would rather listen to shepherds pipes than respond to the call of the war trumpet?”

During the battle against Sisera, the people of the tribe of Dan continued to do what they usually did. Their territory included the harbor of Joppa, and so they were devoted to the pursuits of fishing and maritime trading. But since the song is referring specifically to what the people of Dan did on a specific occasion, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: “and Dan, why did he sojourn {on} ships?

Like the tribe of Dan, the tribe of Asher was devoted to maritime pursuits, and its men did not leave them to join in the battle against Sisera. In your translation, you could use the past tense in both clauses, or you could indicate that the habitual action was the reason for the past action. Alternate translation: “Asher abode at the coast of the seas, yes, he stayed among his harbors” or “Asher abode at the coast of the seas, for he stays among his harbors”

5:18 j200 rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor זְבֻל֗וּן עַ֣ם חֵרֵ֥ף נַפְשׁ֛⁠וֹ לָ⁠מ֖וּת 1 The song is speaking as if the people of the tribe of Zebulun had literally been **reproaching** their souls during the battle, that is, as if they had been taunting or shaming them for wanting to stay alive. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The people of Zebulun told themselves not to be afraid to die”

However, it also describes Jabin as the “king of Canaan” ([4:2](../04/02.md)), suggesting that other Canaanite kings were his subjects or allies.

The meaning is not that these kings **fought** with each other, but that they fought against the Israelites. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “they fought against us Israelites … the kings of Canaan fought against us”

You could use the name Kishon River here if that would help your readers to recognize that the song is describing the same **waters** as in [5:21](../05/21.md).
