'For freeing freemen in Israel, For a people willingly offering themselves Bless ye Jehovah.
3 “Winjuru, un ruodhi! Chikuru itu, un jotelo! Abiro pako Jehova Nyasaye ka awerne; anachuog ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel wer.
Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, to Jehovah, I — I do sing, I sing praise to Jehovah, God of Israel.

Jehovah, in Thy going forth out of Seir, In Thy stepping out of the field of Edom, Earth trembled, also the heavens dropped, Also thick clouds dropped water.
5 Got Sinai noyiengni e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel.
Hills flowed from the face of Jehovah, This one — Sinai — From the face of Jehovah, 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 son of Anath — In the days of Jael — The ways have ceased, And those going in the paths go [in] crooked ways.

Villages ceased in Israel — they ceased, Till that I arose — Deborah, That I arose, a mother in Israel.

Riders on white asses — Sitters on a long robe — And walkers by the way — meditate!
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.
By the voice of shouters Between the places of drawing water, There they give out righteous acts of Jehovah, Righteous acts of His villages in Israel, Then ruled in the gates have the people of Jehovah.
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; Rise, Barak, and take captive thy captivity, Son of Abinoam.

Then him who is left of the honourable ones He caused to rule the people of Jehovah, He caused me to rule among 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.
Out of Ephraim their root [is] against Amalek. After thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples. Out of Machir came down lawgivers, And out of Zebulun those drawing with the reed of a 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 princes in Issachar [are] with Deborah, Yea, Issachar [is] right with Barak, Into the valley he was sent on his feet. In the divisions of Reuben, Great [are] the decrees 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 hast thou abode between the boundaries, To hear lowings of herds? For the divisions of Reuben, Great [are] the searchings of heart!

Gilead beyond the Jordan did tabernacle, And Dan — why doth he sojourn [in] ships? Asher hath abode at the haven of the seas, And by his creeks doth tabernacle.

Zebulun [is] a people who exposed its soul to death, Naphtali also — on high places of the field.
19 “Ruodhi mag Kanaan nobiro, mokedo; Tanak machiegni gi pige mag Megido, to ne ok gidhi gi fedha, kata kawo gimoro amora moyako.
Kings came — they fought; Then fought kings of Canaan, In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; Gain of money they took not!

Water he asked — milk she gave; In a lordly dish she brought near butter.
26 Norieyo lwete mondo okaw sigingi mar hema, ka lwete korachwich nokawogo twor. Nogoyo Sisera, motoyo wiye, kendo nopowo lela wangʼe.
Her hand to the pin she sendeth forth, And her right hand to the labourers' hammer, And she hammered Sisera — she smote his head, Yea, she smote, and it passed 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 bowed — He fell, he lay down; Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell — destroyed.
28 “Min Sisera ne ngʼicho gie dirisa; kaywak kama: ‘Angʼo momiyo gache odeko kapok obiro? Angʼo momiyo mor mar gechene ok winjre?’
Through the window she hath looked out — Yea, she crieth out — the mother of Sisera, Through the lattice: Wherefore is his chariot delaying to come? Wherefore tarried have the steps of his chariot?

Do they not find? — they apportion spoil, A female — two females — for every head, Spoil of finger-work for Sisera, Spoil of embroidered finger-work, Finger-work — a pair of embroidered things, For the necks of the spoil!
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.
So do all Thine enemies perish, O Jehovah, And those loving Him [are] As the going out of the sun in its might!' and the land resteth forty years.
