The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, until that I, Deborah, arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.

Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they shall rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.
12 Haenghang laeh, haenghang laeh, Deborah, haenghang laeh, haenghang laeh laa thoh laeh. Thoo laeh, Barak na tamna Abinoam capa te sol laeh.

And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah, as was Issachar, so was Barak, into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben there were great resolves of heart.
16 Balae tih saelvong laklo ah na ngol, lungbuei khenah aka yet he, Reuben khorha ah tuping kah a rhungnah aka ya la.

Curse ye Meroz, said the agent of Jehovah. Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants of it, because they did not come to the help of Jehovah, to the help of Jehovah against the mighty.

Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,

Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A damsel, two damsels to every man, to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments embroidered, of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the spoil?
31 Na thunkha rhoek loh boeih milh saeh BOEIPA. Tedae a thayung thamal neh khomik aka thoeng bangla a lungnah. Te dongah khohmuen loh kum sawmli khuiah mong.
So let all thine enemies perish, O Jehovah, but let those who love him be as the sun when he goes forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
