מִקּ֣וֹל מְחַֽצְצִ֗ים בֵּ֚ין מַשְׁאַבִּ֔ים שָׁ֤ם יְתַנּוּ֙ צִדְק֣וֹת יְהוָ֔ה צִדְקֹ֥ת פִּרְזֹנ֖וֹ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל
to,sound singers between watering_places there recount righteous_acts YHWH righteous_deeds warriors,his in/on/at/with,Israel
In some languages, the meaning here may be clearer with a passive verb than with the indefinite pronoun they. Alternate translation: “The righteousness of Yahweh and the righteousness of his peasantry in Israel will be celebrated at the watering places by the voice of the singers”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
מִקּ֣וֹל מְחַֽצְצִ֗ים
to,sound singers
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”
Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns
מִקּ֣וֹל מְחַֽצְצִ֗ים
to,sound singers
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”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
צִדְק֣וֹת יְהוָ֔ה צִדְקֹ֥ת פִּרְזֹנ֖וֹ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל
righteous_acts YHWH righteous_deeds warriors,his in/on/at/with,Israel
The song is using the term righteous to describe the victory that Yahweh and his peasantry (the volunteer soldiers) won over Sisera. 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”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
יָרְד֥וּ לַשְּׁעָרִ֖ים
went_down to_the,gates
The song is using one part of cities, their gates, to mean entire cities. See how you translated the same expression in 5:8. Alternate translation: “returned to live in the cities that their enemies had conquered”
5:11 Listen to the village musicians: The picture is of divine exploits being recited where people gathered. Much Old Testament narrative and psalmody probably took shape in this way. “Remembering” in song and poetry is foundational to both Jewish and Christian worship.
