Judges 5
1 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
Alò, Débora avèk Barak, fis a Abinoam nan te chante jou sa a. Yo te di:
2 “Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, LORD!
“Akoz chèf yo te dirije Israël, akoz pèp la te pran desizyon, beni SENYÈ a!
3 “Hear, you kings! Give ear, you princes! I, even I, will sing to the LORD. I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.
“Tande O wa yo! Bay zòrèy nou, O gran chèf yo! Pou mwen—-Se a SENYÈ a menm ke mwen chante. Mwen va chante bay lwanj a SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
4 “LORD, when you went out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the sky also dropped. Yes, the clouds dropped water.
“SENYÈ a, lè Ou te sòti Séir, lè Ou te mache soti nan chan Édom an, tè a te tranble e syèl la te fonn, menm nwaj yo te degoute dlo.
5 The mountains quaked at the LORD’s presence, even Sinai at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Mòn yo te souke devan prezans SENYÈ a, Sinai sila a, devan prezans SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la.
6 “In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through byways.
“Nan jou a Schamgar a, fis a Anath la, nan jou a Jaël yo, gran chemen yo te abandone, e vwayajè yo te pase pa lòt ti chemen.
7 The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother in Israel.
Aktivite abitan yo te sispann. Yo te sispann an Israël, jiskaske mwen menm, Débora, te vin leve. Jiskaske m te leve, yon manman an Israël.
8 They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Yo te pito dye nèf yo. Konsa, lagè te vin rive nan pòtay yo. Èske gen lans, èske gen nepe, pami karant-mil lòm an Israël yo?
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the LORD!
Kè m apiye vè chèf Israël yo, mesye ki parèt ak bon volonte pami pèp la. Beni SENYÈ a!
10 “Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk by the way.
“Pale, Nou menm ki monte bourik blan yo, nou menm ki chita sou tapi chè yo, ak nou menm ki vwayaje sou wout la.
11 Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they will rehearse the LORD’s righteous acts, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. “Then the LORD’s people went down to the gates.
Lwen bwi achè yo, nan kote y ap rale dlo, la yo va rakonte zèv ladwati a SENYÈ a, zèv ladwati pou moun li yo an Israël. “Epi pèp SENYÈ a te desann nan pòtay yo.
12 ‘Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.’
‘Leve, leve, Débora! Leve, leve, chante yon chan! Leve, Barak, e mennen kaptif ou yo, O fis Abinoam nan.’
13 “Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down. The LORD came down for me against the mighty.
“Retay prens yo ak chèf yo te desann. SENYÈ a te desann pou mwen kont pwisant yo.
14 Those whose root is in Amalek came out of Ephraim, after you, Benjamin, among your peoples. Governors come down out of Machir. Those who handle the marshal’s staff came out of Zebulun.
Sila yo rasinen nan Amalek te soti nan Epharïm. Yo t ap swiv ou, Benjamin, avèk pèp ou a. Soti nan Makir, kòmandan yo te desann. E soti nan Zabulon, sila ki voye baton pouvwa yo.
15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah. As was Issachar, so was Barak. They rushed into the valley at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben, there were great resolves of heart.
Prens Issacar yo te avèk Débora. Tankou Issacar, konsa Barak. Nan vale a, yo te plonje dèyè talon li. Akote kous dlo Ruben yo, yo te pran desizyon.
16 Why did you sit among the sheepfolds? To hear the whistling for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben, there were great searchings of heart.
Poukisa nou chita pami pak mouton yo pou tande kri a bann mouton yo? Akote kous dlo Ruben yo, te gen kè ki manke pran desizyon.
17 Gilead lived beyond the Jordan. Why did Dan remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and lived by his creeks.
Galaad te rete lòtbò Jourdain an. Poukisa Dan te rete nan bato yo? Ak Aser ki chita bòdmè a akote ti flèv yo?
18 Zebulun was a people that jeopardized their lives to the death; Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
Men Zabulon, yon pèp ki pa t konsidere lavi yo jiska devan lanmò; ak Nephtali tou, nan lye wo sou chan an.
19 “The kings came and fought, then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no plunder of silver.
“Wa yo te parèt. Yo te goumen; wa Kananeyen yo te goumen kote Thaanac, toupre dlo a Méguiddo yo. Yo pa t pran piyaj an ajan.
20 From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
Zetwal yo te goumen soti nan syèl la, soti nan kous yo, yo te goumen kont Sisera.
21 The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
Dlo ravin, larivyè Kishon te pran yo ale, ansyen dlo ravin nan, dlo ravin Kishon an. O nanm mwen mache avanse ak fòs.
22 Then the horse hoofs stamped because of the prancing, the prancing of their strong ones.
Epi zago cheval yo te bat akoz kous la; kous a tout gwo zago pwisan sa yo.
23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ said the LORD’s angel. ‘Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they did not come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty.’
‘Modi Méroz di zanj SENYÈ a! Modi pèp ki rete la a nèt, akoz yo pa t vini ede SENYÈ a kont pwisant yo.’
24 “Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
“Beni pase tout fanm yo se Jaël, madanm Héber a, Kenyen an. Se pi beni li ye pase tout fanm nan tant lan.
25 He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
Li te mande dlo; li te ba li lèt. Nan yon veso byen bèl, li te pote ba li bòl lèt yo.
26 She put her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer. With the hammer she struck Sisera. She struck through his head. Yes, she pierced and struck through his temples.
Li te lonje men li pou pran pikèt la, men dwat la pou mato ouvriye a. Konsa, li te frape Sisera. Li te kraze tèt li. Wi, li te kraze fwontèn tèt li a.
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he bowed, he fell. Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
Antre janm li yo, li te tonbe. La, li kouche. Kote gason an te bese a, la, li te tonbe mò.
28 “Through the window she looked out, and cried: Sisera’s mother looked through the lattice. ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why do the wheels of his chariots wait?’
“Deyò fenèt la, fi a te gade byen twouble: Manman Sisera te gade anndan treyi a. ‘Poukisa cha l a fè reta konsa? Poukisa nou poko tande bwi la a pye cheval cha li yo, k ap frape tè a pou l rive?’
29 Her wise ladies answered her, Yes, she returned answer to herself,
Demwazèl saj li yo tap reponn li; Anverite, li menm te repete pawòl yo nan pwòp tèt li
30 ‘Have they not found, have they not divided the plunder? A lady, two ladies to every man; to Sisera a plunder of dyed garments, a plunder of dyed garments embroidered, of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the plunder?’
‘Èske se pa ke yo te jwenn, ke y ap divize piyaj la? Yon demwazèl, menm de demwazèl pou chak gèrye; pou Sisera, yon piyaj bèl twal fonse, piyaj a yon twal anbeli trese byen fen; yon mendèv très doub sou kou a piyajè a?’
31 “So let all your enemies perish, LORD, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.
“Se konsa pou kite tout lènmi Ou yo peri, O SENYÈ, men ke sila ki renmen Li yo vin tankou solèy k ap leve ak tout fòs li.” Konsa, peyi a te rete san boulvèsman pandan karant ane.
