Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying:
2 Pilnam loh a puhlu vaengah, Israel khuiah tawnlo rhoek khaw lim hamla, BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai saeh!
When men let grow their hair in Israel, when the people offer themselves willingly, bless ye the LORD.

Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, unto the LORD will I sing; I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.
4 “BOEIPA, Seir lamkah na lo tih, Edom khohmuen lamkah na luei vaengah, diklai hinghuen tih vaan rhoek khaw cip, khomai khaw tui la pha.
LORD, when Thou didst go forth out of Seir, when Thou didst march out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, yea, the clouds dropped water.
5 “Sinai kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah, Israel Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah tlang rhoek khaw moelh uh.
The mountains quaked at the presence of the LORD, even yon Sinai at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel.
6 “Anath capa Shamgar tue vaengah, Jael tue vaengah, caehlong mueng tih a hawn kah aka cet khaw caehlong a kael te a paan uh.
In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways ceased, and the travellers walked through byways.

The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, until that thou didst arise, Deborah, that thou didst arise a mother in Israel.
8 Pathen thai rhoek a tuek uh vaengah vongka ah rhal khaw om dae, Israel thawng sawmli kah photling neh, cai ke hmu pawh.
They chose new gods; then was war in the gates; was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 Ka lungbuei loh, Israel aka taem taeng neh pilnam taengah aka puhlu rhoek, BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai saeh.
My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
10 Laak bok dongah aka ngol rhoek, himbaidok dongah aka ngol tih, longpuei kah aka cet rhoek loh lolmang saeh.
Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on rich cloths, and ye that walk by the way, tell of it;
11 Sihthang ah aka phayang rhoek kah ol long tah, BOEIPA kah duengnah neh a khosakung rhoek kah duengnah te Israel lakliah a thoelh uh tih BOEIPA pilnam kah vongka la suntla uh.
Louder than the voice of archers, by the watering-troughs! there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts of His rulers in Israel. Then the people of the LORD 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.
Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song; arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13 Rhaengnaeng loh, BOEIPA kah pilnam aka khuet rhoek taengla a suntlak vaengah kai taengah khaw hlangrhalh rhoek neh ha suntla.
Then made He a remnant to have dominion over the nobles and the people; the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.

Out of Ephraim came they whose root is in Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the marshal's staff.
15 Ka mangpa rhoek khaw Issakhar neh Deborah khuiah, Barak khaw Issakhar bangla a kho neh tuikol la a paan tih, Reuben kho-rha ah lungbuei khenah la yet.
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; as was Issachar, so was Barak; into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. Among the divisions 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.
Why sattest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the pipings for the flocks? At the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

Gilead abode beyond the Jordan; and Dan, why doth he sojourn by the ships? Asher dwelt at the shore of the sea, and abideth by its bays.
18 Zebulun neh Naphtali tah, hmuen sang ah duek ham, a hinglu aka soek pilnam ni.
Zebulun is a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, and Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.

The kings came, they fought; then fought the kings of Canaan, in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.

Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.

'Curse ye Meroz', said the angel of the LORD, 'Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.'

Blessed above women shall Jael be, the wife of Heber the Kenite, above women in the tent shall she be blessed.

Her hand she put to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote through his head, yea, she pierced and struck through his temples.
27 A kho ah a sop uh doela cungku tih yalh. A kho laklo ah sop uh tih, a yalh vaengah a sop nah hmuen ah, cungku tih pahoi rhoelrhak sut.
At her feet he sunk, he fell, he lay; at her feet he sunk, he fell; where he sunk, there he fell down dead.
28 Bangbuet long a dan vaengah thohhuel ah Sisera manu te rhap, “Ba aih lae anih kah leng tah ha pawk ham a uelh? Ba aih lae anih kah leng tah khokan a hnong.
Through the window she looked forth, and peered, the mother of Sisera, through the lattice: 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29 A boeinu hlangcueih rhoek te a doo tih, a ol pataeng a thuung pah.
The wisest of her princesses answer her, yea, she returneth answer to herself:
30 Hula te kutbuem la a tael uh khaw hmu uh pawt nim? tongpa a lu ham tah hula a bok la, Sisera ham amah kutbuem la, himbaitnim, amhmo rhaekva, amhmo kutbuem, kutbuem rhawn kah rhaekva khaw om.
'Are they not finding, are they not dividing the spoil? A damsel, two damsels to every man; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments of embroidery, two dyed garments of broidery for the neck of every spoiler?'
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 perish all Thine enemies, O LORD; but they that love Him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
