< Judges 5 >

1 At that time Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, made this song, saying:
Nígbà náà ni Debora àti Baraki ọmọ Abinoamu kọ orin ní ọjọ́ náà wí pé,
2 Because of the flowing hair of the fighters in Israel, because the people gave themselves freely, give praise to the Lord.
“Nítorí bí àwọn olórí ti síwájú ní Israẹli, nítorí bi àwọn ènìyàn ti fi tọkàntọkàn wa, ẹ fi ìbùkún fún Olúwa!
3 Give attention, O kings; give ear, O rulers; I, even I, will make a song to the Lord; I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel.
“Ẹ gbọ́ ẹ̀yin ọba! Ẹ fetí yín sílẹ̀ ẹ̀yin ọmọ-aládé! Èmi yóò kọrin sí Olúwa, èmi yóò kọrin ìyìn sí Olúwa: Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
4 Lord, when you went out from Seir, moving like an army from the field of Edom, the earth was shaking and the heavens were troubled, and the clouds were dropping water.
“Olúwa nígbà tí o jáde kúrò ní Seiri, nígbà tí ìwọ ń yan jáde wá láti pápá Edomu, ilẹ̀ mì tìtì, àwọn ọ̀run sì kán sílẹ̀, àní àwọsánmọ̀ pẹ̀lú kàn omi sílẹ̀.
5 The mountains were shaking before the Lord, before the Lord, the God of Israel.
Àwọn òkè ńlá wárìrì ní iwájú Olúwa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Sinai ní iwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
6 In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were not used, and travellers went by side roads.
“Ní ọjọ́ Ṣamgari ọmọ Anati, ní ọjọ́ Jaeli, àwọn ọ̀nà òpópó dá; àwọn arìnrìn-àjò sì ń gba ọ̀nà ìkọ̀kọ̀.
7 Country towns were no more in Israel, were no more, till you, Deborah, came up, till you came up as a mother in Israel.
Àwọn olórí tán ní Israẹli, wọ́n tán, títí èmi Debora fi dìde bí ìyá ní Israẹli.
8 They had no one to make arms, there were no more armed men in the towns; was there a body-cover or a spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Wọ́n ti yan ọlọ́run tuntun, nígbà náà ni ogun wà ní ibodè a ha rí asà tàbí ọ̀kọ̀ kan láàrín ọ̀kẹ́ méjì ní Israẹli bí.
9 Come, you rulers of Israel, you who gave yourselves freely among the people: give praise to the Lord.
Àyà mi fà sí àwọn aláṣẹ Israẹli àwọn tí wọ́n yọ̀ǹda ara wọn tinútinú láàrín àwọn ènìyàn. Ẹ fi ìbùkún fún Olúwa!
10 Let them give thought to it, who go on white asses, and those who are walking on the road.
“Ẹ kéde rẹ̀: ẹ̀yin tí ń gun kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ funfun, ẹ̀yin tí ń jókòó lórí ẹní dáradára, àti ẹ̀yin tí ó ń rìn ní ọ̀nà. Ní ọ̀nà jíjìn sí
11 Give ear to the women laughing by the water-springs; there they will give again the story of the upright acts of the Lord, all the upright acts of his arm in Israel.
ariwo àwọn tafàtafà, ní ibi tí a gbé ń fa omi. Níbẹ̀ ni wọ́n gbé ń sọ ti iṣẹ́ òdodo Olúwa, àní iṣẹ́ òdodo ìjọba rẹ̀ ní Israẹli. “Nígbà náà ni àwọn ènìyàn Olúwa sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ibodè.
12 Awake! awake! Deborah: awake! awake! give a song: Up! Barak, and take prisoner those who took you prisoner, O son of Abinoam.
‘Jí, jí, Debora! Jí, jí, kọ orin dìde! Dìde ìwọ Baraki! Kó àwọn ìgbèkùn rẹ ní ìgbèkùn ìwọ ọmọ Abinoamu.’
13 Then the chiefs went down to the doors; the Lord's people went down among the strong ones.
“Nígbà náà ni àwọn tókù sọ̀kalẹ̀ àwọn ọlọ́lá lọ; àwọn ènìyàn Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá pẹ̀lú àwọn alágbára.
14 Out of Ephraim they came down into the valley; after you, Benjamin, among your tribesmen; from Machir came down the captains, and from Zebulun those in whose hand is the ruler's rod.
Àwọn kan jáde wá láti Efraimu, àwọn tí gbòǹgbò wọn wà ní Amaleki; Benjamini wà pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ó tẹ̀lé ọ. Láti Makiri ni àwọn aláṣẹ ti sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá, láti Sebuluni ni àwọn ẹni tí ń mú ọ̀pá oyè lọ́wọ́.
15 Your chiefs, Issachar, were with Deborah; and Naphtali was true to Barak; into the valley they went rushing out at his feet. In Reuben there were divisions, and great searchings of heart.
Àwọn ọmọ-aládé Isakari wá pẹ̀lú Debora; bí Isakari ti ṣe olóòtítọ́ sí Baraki, wọ́n fi ẹsẹ̀ súré tẹ̀lé wọn lọ sí àfonífojì náà. Ní ipadò Reubeni ni ìgbèrò púpọ̀ wà.
16 Why did you keep quiet among the sheep, hearing nothing but the watchers piping to the flocks?
Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi dúró pẹ́ láàrín agbo àgùntàn láti máa gbọ́ fèrè olùṣọ́-àgùntàn? Ní ipadò Reubeni ni ìgbèrò púpọ̀ wà.
17 Gilead was living over Jordan; and Dan was waiting in his ships; Asher kept in his place by the sea's edge, living by his inlets.
Gileadi dúró ní òkè odò Jordani. Èéṣe tí Dani fi dúró nínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi? Aṣeri jókòó ní etí bèbè Òkun, ó sì ń gbé èbúté rẹ̀.
18 It was the people of Zebulun who put their lives in danger, even to death, with Naphtali on the high places of the field.
Àwọn ènìyàn Sebuluni fi ẹ̀mí wọn wéwu ikú; bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni àwọn ènìyàn Naftali ní ibi gíga pápá.
19 The kings came on to the fight, the kings of Canaan were warring; in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: they took no profit in money.
“Àwọn ọba wá, wọ́n sì jà; àwọn ọba Kenaani jà ní Taanaki ní etí odo Megido, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò sì gba èrè owó.
20 The stars from heaven were fighting; from their highways they were fighting against Sisera.
Àwọn ìràwọ̀ já láti ojú ọ̀run wá láti inú ipa ọ̀nà wọn ni wọ́n bá Sisera jà.
21 The river Kishon took them violently away, stopping their flight, the river Kishon. Give praise, O my soul, to the strength of the Lord!
Odò Kiṣoni gbá wọn lọ, odò ìgbàanì, odò Kiṣoni. Máa yan lọ, ìwọ ọkàn mi, nínú agbára!
22 Then loudly the feet of the horses were sounding with the stamping, the stamping of their war-horses.
Nígbà náà ni pátákò ẹsẹ̀ ẹṣin ki ilẹ̀, nítorí eré sísá, eré sísá àwọn alágbára wọn.
23 A curse, a curse on Meroz! said the angel of the Lord. A bitter curse on her townspeople! Because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among the strong ones.
‘Ẹ fi Merosi bú,’ ni angẹli Olúwa wí. ‘Ẹ fi àwọn ènìyàn inú rẹ̀ bú ìbú kíkorò, nítorí wọn kò wá sí ìrànlọ́wọ́ Olúwa, láti dojúkọ àwọn alágbára.’
24 Blessings be on Jael, more than on all women! Blessings greater than on any in the tents!
“Ìbùkún ni fún Jaeli, aya Heberi ará Keni ju àwọn obìnrin lọ, ìbùkún ni fún un ju àwọn obìnrin tí ń gbé nínú àgọ́.
25 His request was for water, she gave him milk; she put butter before him on a fair plate.
Ó béèrè omi, ó fún un ní wàrà; ó mú òrí-àmọ́ tọ̀ ọ́ wá nínú àwo iyebíye tí ó yẹ fún àwọn ọlọ́lá.
26 She put out her hand to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workman's hammer; and she gave Sisera a blow, crushing his head, wounding and driving through his brow.
Ó na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ mú ìṣó àgọ́, ó fi ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ mú òòlù awọ gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà, òòlù náà ni ó sì fi lu Sisera, ó gbá a mọ́ ọn ní orí, ó sì gun, ó sì kàn ẹ̀bátí rẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀ ṣinṣin.
27 Bent at her feet he went down, he was stretched out; bent at her feet he went down; where he was bent down, there he went down in death.
Ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ ó wólẹ̀, ó ṣubú; ó dùbúlẹ̀. Ó wólẹ̀ ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, ó ṣubú níbi tí ó gbé ń wólẹ̀; níbẹ̀ náà ni ó ṣubú kú sí.
28 Looking out from the window she gave a cry, the mother of Sisera was crying out through the window, Why is his carriage so long in coming? When will the noise of his wheels be sounding?
“Ìyá Sisera yọjú láti ojú fèrèsé, ó sì kígbe, ó kígbe ní ojú fèrèsé ọlọ́nà pé, ‘Èéṣe tí kẹ̀kẹ́-ẹṣin rẹ fi pẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ láti dé? Èéṣe tí ẹsẹ̀ kẹ̀kẹ́-ẹṣin rẹ̀ fi dúró lẹ́yìn?’
29 Her wise women gave answer to her, yes, she made answer again to herself,
Àwọn amòye obìnrin rẹ̀ dá a lóhùn; àní òun náà pẹ̀lú ti dá ara rẹ̀ lóhùn pé,
30 Are they not getting, are they not parting the goods among them: a young girl or two to every man; and to Sisera robes of coloured needlework, worked in fair colours on this side and on that, for the neck of the queen?
‘Wọn kò ha ń wa kiri, wọn kò ha ti pín ìkógun bi: ọmọbìnrin kan tàbí méjì fún ọkùnrin kan, fún Sisera ìkógun aṣọ aláràbarà, ìkógun aṣọ aláràbarà àti ọlọ́nà, àwọn aṣọ ọlọ́nà iyebíye fún ọrùn mi, gbogbo èyí tí a kó ní ogun?’
31 So may destruction come on all your haters, O Lord; but let your lovers be like the sun going out in his strength. And for forty years the land had peace.
“Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ó jẹ́ kí gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ kí ó ṣègbé Olúwa! Ṣùgbọ́n jẹ́ kí àwọn tí ó fẹ́ ọ ràn bí oòrùn, nígbà tí ó bá yọ nínú agbára rẹ̀.” Ilẹ̀ náà sì sinmi ní ogójì ọdún.
