Jongʼad Bura 5
1 Chiengʼno Debora kod Barak wuod Abinoam nowero wendni:
Then sang Deborah with Barak the son of Abino'am on that day, saying,
2 “Pakuru Jehova Nyasaye nikech jotelo mag Israel okawo loch, kendo ji giwegi ochiwore mar luwogi!
When depravity had broken out in Israel, then did the people offer themselves willingly; [therefore] praise ye the Lord.
3 “Winjuru, un ruodhi! Chikuru itu, un jotelo! Abiro pako Jehova Nyasaye ka awerne; anachuog ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel wer.
Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes; I—unto the Lord will I sing; I will sing praise to the Lord, the God of Israel.
4 “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, piny noyiengni, kendo polo nogingore, mi koth ochwe kane iwuok Seir e piny Edom.
Lord, at thy going forth out of Seir, at thy marching along out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, also the heavens dropped, also the clouds dropped water.
5 Got Sinai noyiengni e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel.
The mountains melted away because of the presence of the Lord, yonder Sinai, because of the presence of the Lord, the God of Israel.
6 “E ndalo mag Shamgar wuod Anath, kendo e ndalo Jael, yore nojwangʼ, mi jowuoth ne luwo yore matindo.
In the days of Shamgar the son of 'Anath, in the days of Ja'el, the highways were unoccupied, and those who travelled on roads walked through crooked by-paths.
7 Teko mar jolweny e miech Israel norumo, manyaka an Debora nabiro, ma abedo ka min ji e piny Israel.
Desolate were the open towns in Israel, they were desolate, until that I arose, Deborah, that I arose a mother in Israel.
8 Kane giyiero nyiseche manyien, lweny nochakore e dhorangeye mag dala maduongʼ, kata mana okumba kod tongʼ ne ok oyudie kind jolwenj jo-Israel alufu piero angʼwen.
They chose new gods, then was there war in the gates: was there a shield seen or a spear among forty thousand in Israel?
9 Opak Jehova Nyasaye nikech chunya nigi jotend jo-Israel, kaachiel gi jogo mochiwore!
My heart [belongeth] to the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people: praise ye the Lord.
10 “Un joma oidho punde marochere, kobedo e matandiko molos gi ongede, kendo un joma wuotho e wangʼ yo, winjuru,
Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and ye who walk on the way, utter praise!
11 dwond joma wer koa kuonde mamon umboe pi; ka giwero timbe makare mag Jehova Nyasaye, kendo ka gipako timbe makare mag jolweny mage mager man Israel. “Bangʼ mano oganda Jehova Nyasaye nodhi e dhorangeye mag dala maduongʼ.
[Urged on] by the voice of those who divide [the flocks] between the watering wells, there shall they rehearse the benefits of the Lord, the benefits toward his open towns in Israel; [for] now go down [again] to the gates the people of the Lord.
12 Debora, chiew, chiew! ‘Chungi kendo ia malo mondo ichak wer! Aa malo, yaye Barak! Ter jogo miseloyo e twech, yaye wuod Abinoam.’
Awake, awake, Deborah! awake, awake, utter a song! up, Barak, and lead away thy captives, son of Abino'am.
13 “Eka jogo mane owe nobiro ir ruodhi; oganda Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ira gi teko duto.
Then obtained dominion a few that had escaped for the nobles among the people—the Lord gave me dominion over the mighty.
14 Jomoko kuomgi nowuok e gode mag Efraim, ogandagi nodak Amalek, kendo joma noa Benjamin noluwo bangʼu. Jotend lweny noa Makir nobiro, kendo joma noa Zebulun notingʼo ludh jatend lweny.
They whose root is out of Ephraim were against 'Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, with thy armies; out of Machir came down lawgivers, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
15 Jotend Isakar ne nigi Debora; adier, Isakar ne nigi Barak, koreto bangʼe ka gichiko holo. To e gwenge mag Reuben ne nitiere nono chuny matut.
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; yea Issachar, the support of Barak; into the valley he hastened down in his train; [but] at the streams of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
16 En angʼo momiyo ne usiko ka uoyo maj jokwath mondo omi uwinj ka jokwath liyo ni rombe? To e gwenge mag Reuben ne nitiere nono chuny matut.
Why didst thou sit among the sheepfolds to hear the bleatings of the flocks? At the streams of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
17 Gilead nodongʼ loka Jordan. To angʼo momiyo Dan nogalore but meli? Asher to nodongʼ e dho nam mi gidak e dho wedhe kuma yiedhi gowe.
Gil'ad abode beyond the Jordan; and Dan—why would he tarry in ships? Asher remained on the seashore, and abode near his bays.
18 Jo-Zebulun nochiwo ngimagi ne tho; kamano bende Naftali noketo mare e kuonde kedo.
Zebulun is a people that jeoparded its life unto death, and Naphtali—on the high places of the [battle] field.
19 “Ruodhi mag Kanaan nobiro, mokedo; Tanak machiegni gi pige mag Megido, to ne ok gidhi gi fedha, kata kawo gimoro amora moyako.
There came kings, [and] fought, then fought the kings of Canaan, in Ta'anach by the waters of Megiddo: gain of money they took not away.
20 Koa e polo, sulwe nokedo, koa kama gichakore negikedo gi Sisera.
From heaven they fought—the stars in their courses fought against Sissera.
21 Aora Kishon noywoyogi, aora ma hike ngʼeny, aora Kishon. Dhi nyime, chunya; bed motegno!
The stream of Kishon swept them away, that ancient stream, the stream of Kishon: step along, O my soul, in victorious strength.
22 Bangʼ mano mor mar tiende farese nowinji kachikore gi teko mangʼeny.
Then were crushed the hoofs of the horses, through the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
23 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni, ‘Okwongʼ Meroz kaachiel gi joge gi kwongʼ malit, nikech ne ok gibiro mondo gikony Jehova Nyasaye e lwet joma tek.’
Curse ye Meroz, saith the messenger of the Lord, yea, curse ye bitterly its inhabitants; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among the mighty.
24 “Jael ma chi Heber ja-Keni en dhako mogwedhi kuom mon duto, kendo ogwedhe moloyo mon duto modak e hema.
Blessed above [other] women shall be Ja'el the wife of Cheber the Kenite, above [other] women [dwelling] in the tent may she be blessed.
25 Nokwayo pi modho, to nomiye chak; nokelone chak mopwo e bakul moromo ruoth chiemoe.
Water he asked, milk she gave [him]: in a lordly dish she brought him cream.
26 Norieyo lwete mondo okaw sigingi mar hema, ka lwete korachwich nokawogo twor. Nogoyo Sisera, motoyo wiye, kendo nopowo lela wangʼe.
Her hand she put forth to the nail, and her right hand to the laborious workmen's hammer; and she hammered Sissera, she struck his head, and crushed and smote through his temple.
27 Nopodho e tiende, mogore piny; kendo kanyo ema nothoe. Adier, nopodho e tiende, mogore piny; kendo kama nopodhoeno, ema nogore piny motho.
Between her feet he bent, he fell, he lay; between her feet he bent, he fell: where he had bent, there he fell down, bereft of life.
28 “Min Sisera ne ngʼicho gie dirisa; kaywak kama: ‘Angʼo momiyo gache odeko kapok obiro? Angʼo momiyo mor mar gechene ok winjre?’
Out of the window looked and moaned the mother of Sissera, through the lattice, Why tarrieth his chariot so long in coming? why lag the wheels of his chariot?
29 Achiel kuom jotichne ma nyiri mariek nodwoke; kawuoyo kende kama:
The wise among her ladies answered her, she also returned a reply to herself.
30 ‘Donge gipogo gik moyaki ka ngʼato ka ngʼato yudo nyako achiel kata ariyo, kendo imiyo Sisera lewni mabeyo kaachiel gi lewni mabeyo motwangʼ mongʼith, monego arwaki?’
Will they not find, —divide booty? one maiden, two maidens for every man, a booty of colored garments for Sissera, a booty of colored embroidered garments, colored, double-worked garments round the necks of the captives!
31 “Omiyo mad wasikgi duto rum, yaye Jehova Nyasaye! To mad joma oheri chal gi chiengʼ, mawuok gi teko.” Bangʼ mano piny Israel nobedo gi kwe kuom higni piero angʼwen.
Thus may perish all thy enemies, O Lord; but may those that love him be as the rising of the sun in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
