1 “Tsiku limenelo Debora ndi Baraki mwana wa Abinoamu anayimba nyimbo iyi:
Ku olwo Debola ne Baraki mutabani wa Abinoamu ne bayimba bwe bati:
2 “Popeza kuti atsogoleri anatsogoleradi mʼdziko la Israeli; ndipo anthu anadzipereka okha mwa ufulu, tamandani Yehova:
“Mutendereze Mukama kubanga mu Isirayiri abakulembeze baatuukiriza omulimu gwabwe n’abantu ne beewaayo nga baagala.
3 “Imvani inu mafumu! Tcherani khutu, atsogoleri inu! Ndidzayimba nyimbo, ndidzayimbira Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli nyimbo yokoma.
“Muwulirize mmwe bakabaka, musseeyo omwoyo mmwe abalangira; nze kennyini, nze nnaayimbira Mukama; nze nnaayimbira Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri.
4 “Inu Yehova, pamene munkatuluka mu Seiri, pamene mumayenda kuchokera mʼdziko la Edomu, dziko linagwedezeka, mitambo inasungunuka nigwetsa madzi.
“Mukama, bwe wava e Seyiri, bwe wava mu kitundu kya Edomu okutabaala, ensi n’ekankana, enkuba n’eyiika okuva mu ggulu. Weewaawo, ebire ne bifukumuka amazzi.
5 Mapiri anagwedezeka pamaso pa Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli.
Ensozi ne zikankana awali Mukama, Oyo owa Sinaayi, ne lukankana mu maaso Mukama Katonda w’Abayisirayiri.
6 “Pa nthawi ya Samugara mwana wa Anati, pa nthawi ya Yaeli, misewu inasiyidwa; alendo ankangoyenda mʼtinjira takumbali.
“Ku mulembe gwa Samugali, mutabani wa Anasi, ne ku mulembe gwa Yayeeri abatambuze tebaayitanga, mu nguudo nnene, baatambuliranga mu mpenda.
7 Anthu a ku midzi anathawa; mu Israeli munalibe midzi mpaka pamene iwe Debora unafika; unafika ngati mayi ku Israeli.
Abakulembeze mu Isirayiri baggwaawo okutuusa nze Debola lwe nayimuka, nga nnyina wa bonna mu Isirayiri.
8 Pamene anasankha milungu ina, nkhondo inabwera ku zipata za mzinda, ndipo chishango kapena mkondo sizinapezeke pakati pa anthu 40,000 mu Israeli.
Bwe beefunira abakulembeze abalala, entalo ne ziryoka zibalukawo mu Isirayiri. Ku basajja Abayisirayiri emitwalo ena kwaliko n’omu eyalina effumu oba engabo?
9 Mtima wanga uli ndi atsogoleri a Israeli, uli ndi anthu amene anadzipereka okha mwaufulu pakati pa anthu. Tamandani Yehova!
Omutima gwange guli eri abakulembeze b’Abayisirayiri, n’eri abantu abeewaayo nga baagala. Mutendereze Mukama.
10 “Inu okwera pa abulu oyera, okhala pa zishalo, ndi inu oyenda pa msewu, yankhulani.
“Mukyogereko mmwe, abeebagala ku ndogoyi enjeru, mmwe abatuula ku biwempe ebirungi ennyo, nammwe abatambulira mu kkubo.
11 Ku zitsime, kutali ndi phokoso la a mauta; kumeneko akusimba za kuti Yehova wapambana; akusimba kuti Yehova walipsira anthu ake mu Israeli. “Choncho anthu a Yehova anasonkhana ku zipata za mzinda.
Wulira oluyimba lw’abantu ku luzzi, nga batendereza obuwanguzi era n’ebikolwa bya Mukama eby’obutuukirivu, ebikolwa bye eby’obutuukirivu nga akulembera Abayisirayiri. “Awo abantu ba Mukama ne baserengeta, ne bagenda ku miryango gy’ebibuga byabwe.
12 Anati, ‘Tsogolera ndiwe, Debora, tsogolera; tsogolera ndiwe, tsogolera, imba nyimbo. Iwe Baraki! nyamuka Tsogolera akapolo ako, iwe mwana wa Abinoamu.’
Zuukuka, zuukuka Debola zuukuka, zuukuka, okulembere oluyimba; golokoka, Baraki okulembere abawambe bo nga basibiddwa, ggwe mutabani wa Abinoamu.
13 “Kenaka anthu okhulupirika anatsatira atsogoleri awo; anthu a Yehova anapita kukamenyera Yehova nkhondo kulimbana ndi adani amphamvu.
“Awo abakungu abaasigalawo ne baserengeta, abantu ba Mukama, ne baserengeta okulwanyisa ow’amaanyi.
14 Anakalowa mʼchigwa kuchokera ku Efereimu; akutsatira iwe Benjamini ndi abale ako. Akulu a ankhondo anachokera ku Makiri, ndipo onyamula ndodo ya udindo anachokera ku Zebuloni.
Awo abaava mu kitundu kya Efulayimu ne baserengeta mu kiwonvu, nga bakugoberera ggwe, Benyamini, n’ab’ekika kyo. Mu Makiri ne wavaayo abakulembeze, ne baserengeta, ne mu kitundu kya Zebbulooni ne wavaayo abaduumizi.
15 Olamulira a Isakara anali pamodzi ndi Debora; inde, anthu ochokera ku Isakara anatsatanso Baraki, ndipo anathamangira ku chigwa akumutsatira. Koma pakati pa mafuko a Rubeni panali kusinkhasinkha mtima kwambiri osadziwa chenicheni choyenera kuchita.
Abalangira ba Isakaali baali wamu ne Debola; era Isakaali yali wamu ne Baraki. Ne bafubutuka okumugoberera mu kiwonvu. Olw’enjawukana ezaali mu kika kya Lewubeeni, waaliwo okusooka okufumiitiriza ennyo mu mitima gyabwe.
16 Chifukwa chiyani munangokhala ku makola a nkhosa nʼkumangomvetsera zitoliro zoyitanira nkhosa? Pakati pa anthu a fuko la Rubeni panali kusinkhasinkha mtima kwambiri osadziwa chenicheni choyenera kuti achite.
Kiki ekyakusigaza mu bisibo byo eby’endiga, okuwuliriza endere zebafuuyira endiga? Olw’enjawukana ezaali mu kika kya Lewubeeni, waaliwo okusooka okufumiitiriza ennyo mu mitima gyabwe.
17 Agiliyadi anatsala pa tsidya la Yorodani. Ndipo nʼchifukwa chiyani anthu afuko la Dani anatsarira mʼsitima za pa madzi? Aseri anali pa gombe la Nyanja; anangokhala mʼmadooko mwawo.
Ab’ekika kya Gireyaadi baasigala mitala wa Yoludaani. N’ab’ekika kya Ddaani ekyabasigaza mu byombo kiki? Ab’ekika kya Aseri; baasigala ku lubalama lw’ennyanja, ne babeera awali emyalo gyabwe.
18 Azebuloni ndi anthu amene anayika moyo wawo mʼzoopsa. Nawonso anthu a fuko la Nafutali anayika miyoyo yawo pa chiswe pomenya nkhondo pamwamba pa mapiri.
Ab’ekika kya Zebbulooni baawaayo obulamu bwabwe, era n’ab’ekika kya Nafutaali mu ddwaniro.
19 “Mafumu anabwera, anachita nkhondo; mafumu Akanaani anachita nkhondo ku Tanaki pafupi ndi madzi a ku Megido, koma sanatengeko zofunkha zasiliva.
“Ku mugga gw’e Megiddo mu Taanaki, bakabaka bajja ne balwana, bakabaka b’e Kanani baalwana. Naye tebaanyaga bintu.
20 Ngakhalenso nyenyezi zakumwamba zinachita nkhondo, zinathira nkhondo Sisera, zikuyenda mʼnjira zake.
Emunyeenye zaalwana nga zisinziira mu ggulu, zaalwanyisa Sisera nga bwe zetoloola mu bbanga.
21 Mtsinje wa Kisoni unawakokolola, chigumula cha mtsinje wa Kisoni chinawakokolola. Mtima wanga, yenda mwamphamvu, limbika!
Omugga Kisoni gwabasanyizaawo ddala, omugga ogwo ogw’edda omugga Kisoni. Ggwe emmeeme yange, kkumba n’amaanyi.
22 Ndipo ziboda za ngʼombe zazimuna zinachita phokoso lalikulu, akavalo ali pa liwiro, akuthamanga kwambiri.
Awo embalaasi ne zijja nga zirigita era nga bwe zisambirira ettaka, ensolo zaabwe ezo ez’amaanyi.
23 Mngelo wa Yehova anati ‘Tembererani Merozi.’ ‘Tembererani nzika zake mwaukali, chifukwa sanabwere kudzathandiza Yehova, kulimbana ndi adani ake amphamvu.’
Malayika wa Mukama n’agamba nti, ‘Mukolimire Merozi. Mukolimire nnyo ababeera e Merozi; kubanga tebeetaba mu lutalo lwa Mukama. Tebaalwetabaamu nga Mukama Katonda alwanyisa ab’amaanyi.’
24 “Akhale wodala kupambana akazi onse, Yaeli mkazi wa Heberi Mkeni; inde mwa akazi onse okhala mʼdziko, akhale wodala iyeyu.
“Nga wa mukisa Yayeeri okusinga abakazi bonna! Nga wa mukisa Yayeeri mukazi w’Omukeeni Keberi, okusinga abakazi bonna ababeera mu weema!
25 Munthu uja anapempha madzi akumwa, koma iye anamupatsa mkaka; anamupatsa chambiko mʼchikho cha wolemekezeka.
Bwe yasaba amazzi, yamuwa mata, era n’amuleetera n’omuzigo mu bbawulo ey’ekikungu.
26 Anatenga chikhomo cha tenti mʼdzanja lake, anatenganso nyundo ndi dzanja lake lamanja. Ndipo anakhoma nacho Sisera, anamuphwanya mutu wake, ndi kumubowola mu litsipa mwake.
Yakwata enkondo ya weema mu mukono gwe ogwa kkono, n’ennyondo mu gwa ddyo, n’akomerera Sisera enkondo mu kyenyi n’eyita namu.
27 Anathifukira ku mapazi a mkaziyo nagwa, anagwa; iye anagona pamenepo. Anagwera pa mapazi a mkaziyo, iye anagwa; pamene anagwera, pamenepo anaferapo.
Amaanyi gaamuggwa n’agwa; yagwa ku bigere bya Yayeeri n’alambaala we yagwa we yafiira.
28 “Amayi ake a Sisera anasuzumira pa zenera; nafuwula mokweza kuti, ‘Nʼchifukwa chiyani galeta lake lachedwa kufika? Nʼchifukwa chiyani phokoso la magaleta ake silikumveka?’
“Nnyina wa Sisera yalingiriza mu ddirisa; yayisa amaaso mu ddirisa, n’aleekaanira waggulu nti ‘Kiki ekirwisizza eggaali lye okujja? Okuguluba kw’eggaali lye nga sikuwulira?’
29 Amayi ake anzeru kwambiri anamuyankha, ndithudi, mwiniwake anadziyankha yekha kuti,
Abazaana be abagezi baba tebanamuddamu ne yeddamu yekka.
30 ‘Kodi iwo sakufunafuna zofunkha kuti agawane; akugawana wankhondo aliyense mtsikana mmodzi kapena awiri. Sisera akumupatsa zofunkha: zovala zonyikidwa mu utoto, zoti ndizivala mʼkhosi zovala zopeta zonyika mu utoto, ndi zopeta zomavala mʼkhosi?’
‘Tebazudde omunyago era tebali mu kugugabana, omuwala omu oba babiri buli musajja? Sisera tufunye omunyago ogw’engoye enduke ez’amabala? Eminagiro ebiri emiruke, egy’amabala tegiibe gyange?’
31 “Choncho Yehova! adani anu onse awonongeke, koma iwo amene amakukondani inu akhale ngati dzuwa pamene lituluka ndi mphamvu zake.” Ndipo dziko linakhala pa mtendere zaka makumi anayi.
“Ayi Mukama Katonda abalabe bo bazikirirenga bwe batyo nga Sisera. Naye abo bonna abakwagala bamasemasenga ng’enjuba ey’akavaayo mu maanyi gaayo.” Awo ne wayitawo emyaka ana nga Abayisirayiri bali mu mirembe.
