Note 2 topic: translate-tense

וְ⁠דָ֕ן לָ֥⁠מָּה יָג֖וּר אֳנִיּ֑וֹת

and,Dan (Some words not found in UHB: Gilˊād on,the_other_side_of of,the_Jordan remained and,Dan to/for=what linger ships ʼĀshēr sat to_[the],coast_of seas and,at places_of,his_landing settling_down )

The song is using the present tense to describe habitual action. 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]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וְ⁠דָ֕ן לָ֥⁠מָּה יָג֖וּר אֳנִיּ֑וֹת

and,Dan (Some words not found in UHB: Gilˊād on,the_other_side_of of,the_Jordan remained and,Dan to/for=what linger ships ʼĀshēr sat to_[the],coast_of seas and,at places_of,his_landing settling_down )

The song is using the question form for emphasis. 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: [and Dan should not have sojourned on ships!]
