Judges 5
1 On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:
Hiche nichun Deborah leh Abinoam chapa Barak hin vahchoila hi ana sa lhon in ahi.
2 “When the princes take the lead in Israel, when the people volunteer, bless the LORD.
“Israel lamkai hon alamkaiyun chule mipin kipah tah in anung’u ajuiyun, Pakai chu thangvah in umhen!
3 Listen, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.
“Leng teho ngaitem un! Nangho vaihom mithupiho phaten ngaitem uvin! Keiman Pakai thangvahna la kasah ding, Pakai Israel Pathen koma tumging tumpum’a keiman la kasah ding ahi.
4 O LORD, when You went out from Seir, when You marched from the land of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens poured out rain, and the clouds poured down water.
“Pakai nangma Sier muna kon nahung kipatdoh a Edom phai nahin lonkhup chun, leiset pumpi akithing jeng in, chule vanlai jola meilhang jeng jong ajunlhan, gotwi juh’in ahung julha jeng in ahi.
5 The mountains quaked before the LORD, the One of Sinai, before the LORD, the God of Israel.
Pakai Sinai mol Pathen chu nahung kilandoh phat in, mol hochu Israel Pakai, Pathen masang ah apohkeh jeng in ahi.
6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were deserted and the travelers took the byways.
Anath chapa Shamgar nikholai leh Jael nikho laijin mipiten lamlen jeng jong apelun, kholjin ho jeng in jong lampellang ajotjji tauve.
7 Life in the villages ceased; it ended in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose, a mother in Israel.
Israel te minu banga Deborah ahung kipat tokah chun Israel thinglhang khoho’a mihem themkhat bou ana kidalha tan ahi.
8 When they chose new gods, then war came to their gates. Not a shield or spear was found among forty thousand in Israel.
Israel ten pathen thah thahho ahin kilhen phat nun khopi kelkot phungho’a gal ahung pohjal jengin ahi. Ahinlah Israel galmi sang-somli ho lah a chun tengchale lum hin kipatna akimudoh pon ahi.
9 My heart is with the princes of Israel, with the volunteers among the people. Bless the LORD!
Kalungthim pumpihi Israel gal lamkai galsat dinga hung kipedoh hochung achengin ahi. Pakai chu thangvah in umhen!
10 You who ride white donkeys, who sit on saddle blankets, and you who travel the road, ponder
“Nangho sangan hoitah tah chunga kampol pon hoitah tah toupha-a lhaiho leh lamlen dunga vahlehon ngaito uvin!
11 the voices of the singers at the watering places. There they shall recount the righteous acts of the LORD, the righteous deeds of His villagers in Israel. Then the people of the LORD went down to the gates:
Thinglhang’a la a sathem tahtah ho tuilonlhah na vadung panghoa akikhom’un Pakai chonphatna galjona loupitah tah asamphong uve. Hiche jouchun Pakai mipiten khopi kelkotphung lang jonnin ahung konsuh tauve.
12 ‘Awake, awake, O Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, O Barak, and take hold of your captives, O son of Abinoam!’
“Thouvin Deborah thouvin! Thouvin, thouvin la saovin! Thovin Barak! Abinoam chapa nagal hing mat ho hinkaijin!
13 Then the survivors came down to the nobles; the people of the LORD came down to me against the mighty.
Tabor molla kon in milen milal ho nokhum dingin mi themchabou ahung kijot suh un ahi. Pakai mipite chu gal-hat tah tah ho nokhum dingin ahung kijot suh un ahi.
14 Some came from Ephraim, with their roots in Amalek; Benjamin came with your people after you. The commanders came down from Machir, the bearers of the marshal’s staff from Zebulun.
Amalek mite’a konna kilah peh Ephraim ma kon in ahung suh un Benjamin nangma le nasepaite nahin juijuve. Makir a kon in gallamkai ho ahungsuh uva Zebullun na kon in gallam kaiho manchahchoi ho ahungun ahi.
15 The princes of Issachar were with Deborah, and Issachar was with Barak, rushing into the valley at his heels. In the clans of Reuben there was great indecision.
Issachar-a leng chapate chu Deborah leh Barak lam’ah apangun ahi. Amahon Barak ahinjui un phaicham langa ahung lhailut un ahi. Ahinla Reuben phungsung’a vang lungkhat ahitheipouve.
16 Why did you sit among the sheepfolds to hear the whistling for the flocks? In the clans of Reuben there was great indecision.
Ibola nangho kelngoi hon holah a nomsatah a natouthim uva kelngoi chingho saisip sapchu namoh ngai ngai uham? Ahinla Reuben phung sunga vang kilungkhatna aneithei pouve.
17 Gilead remained beyond the Jordan. Dan, why did you linger by the ships? Asher stayed at the coast and remained in his harbors.
Gilead vang Jordan solamma aumden tan chule Dan chu ipi dinga inmunna umnalai ham? Asher vang twikhanglen panga kongkai munna achengden tan ahi.
18 Zebulun was a people who risked their lives; Naphtali, too, on the heights of the battlefield.
Ahinlah Zebulun vang Naphtali teho bolbang’in galkisat khoh laitah a chun ahinkhou phal ngam’in pan alauvin ahi.
19 Kings came and fought; then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, but they took no plunder of silver.
Canaan lengte ahungun Megiddo twinah phung komma chun Taanach munnah gal asatnin imacha alemlo pon ahi.
20 From the heavens the stars fought; from their courses they fought against Sisera.
Chunga ahsiten vanna kon in gal asatnin, ahsiten akikhai khumnao munna kon in Sisera dounan gal ahin sat’un ahi.
21 The River Kishon swept them away, the ancient river, the River Kishon. March on, O my soul, in strength!
Kishon vadungin alhohmang gamtaove. Kishon kiti golluilaija tuihattah chutoh kalhagao hangsantah in kijotkhom lhontan.
22 Then the hooves of horses thundered— the mad galloping of his stallions.
Hiche jouchun sakol kengin leiset achon in, Sesira sakol thupitah chu akinunkho jing jengin ahi.
23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ says the angel of the LORD. ‘Bitterly curse her inhabitants; for they did not come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty.’
‘Meroz mite chu sapsetna changhen,’ tin Pakai Vantil ten aseije nasatah in sapsetna changuhen tin asam’un ahi, ajeh chu amaho galsat hattah hotoh kisatto dingin Pakai langa pang dinga ahung pouvin ahi.
24 Most blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, most blessed of tent-dwelling women.
Numei lah a phatthei chang chungnung Ken mi Kaber jinu Jael ahi, amanu hi numei ponbuh sung’a chengho jouse lah a nunnom penhen,
25 He asked for water, and she gave him milk. In a magnificent bowl she brought him curds.
Sisera in twi anathum’in ahileh aman bongnoi anadon sah e. Mithupi tahho peh dinga kilom khonna chun, bongnoi ha tuitah achoipeh e.
26 She reached for the tent peg, her right hand for the workman’s hammer. She struck Sisera and crushed his skull; she shattered and pierced his temple.
Hiche jouchun akhut veilamma ponbuh thih hemkhat achoijin chule akhut jet lamma natohna sehcha chu achoijin hiche sehcha chun Sisera chu akhennin, aluchang akhenchip tai. Aman hakhetnin akhennin achalpang chu akhen lhumtai.
27 At her feet he collapsed, he fell, there he lay still; at her feet he collapsed, he fell; where he collapsed, there he fell dead.
Ama alhulhop jengin, amanu kengphang komma chun akijam jengin chuleh alhuh lhopna-achun athi dentai.
28 Sisera’s mother looked through the window; she peered through the lattice and lamented: ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? What has delayed the clatter of his chariots?’
Bangkotna kon chun Sisera nu ahung khodah in, hiche bangkotna konchun achapa hung kileding chu galdot jing pummin hitin aseije, “I-atile tugeijahi sakol kangtalai chu hung kilelouva ham? Itidan'a sakol kangtalai khogin tugeija kijalouva ham?” ati.
29 Her wisest ladies answer; indeed she keeps telling herself,
Numei ching theitah kilhamonna thucheng hi navel vellin hiche thucheng hin amale ama akidonbut’in ahi.
30 ‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoil— a girl or two for each warrior, a plunder of dyed garments for Sisera, the spoil of embroidered garments for the neck of the looter?’
Amaho hi ahin athilchomdoh uchu kihom uvah hiuvinte, numei khatle ni pasal khat cheh changun te, Sisera dingin ponjem hoitah tah gong’un tin, chule ponjem hoitah a kikhong keidingin jong hin gong’un te ati. Akichomdoh ho lah a chu alangtoa ponjem hoitah tah a kikhong ho jong jao ding ahinai.
31 So may all your enemies perish, O LORD! But may those who love You shine like the sun at its brightest.” And the land had rest for forty years.
Pakai, nagalmite ho jouse Sisera te bangin thina toh cheh-uhen! Amavang nangma ngailu jouse chu nisa bangin thanei tah’in khangtou jing taohen!” Hitichun gamsunga kum 40 geijin chamna ana ummin ahi.
