< Judges 5 >

1 And Debbora and Barac son of Abineem sang in that day, saying,
Te vaeng khohnin ah Deborah neh Abinoam capa Barak loh a hlai rhoi tih,
2 A revelation was made in Israel when the people were made willing: Praise ye the Lord.
Pilnam loh a puhlu vaengah, Israel khuiah tawnlo rhoek khaw lim hamla, BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai saeh!
3 Hear, ye kings, and hearken, rulers: I will sing, it is I [who will sing] to the Lord, it is I, I will sing a psalm to the Lord the god of Israel.
Manghai rhoek loh ya nawn saeh, boeica rhoek loh hnatun saeh, BOEIPA te ka hlai vetih, Israel Pathen BOEIPA te ka tingtoeng ni.
4 O Lord, in thy going forth on Seir, when thou wentest forth out of the land of Edom, the earth quaked and the heaven dropped dews, and the clouds dropped water.
“BOEIPA, Seir lamkah na lo tih, Edom khohmuen lamkah na luei vaengah, diklai hinghuen tih vaan rhoek khaw cip, khomai khaw tui la pha.
5 The mountains were shaken before the face of the Lord Eloi, this Sina before the face of the Lord God of Israel.
“Sinai kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah, Israel Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah tlang rhoek khaw moelh uh.
6 In the days of Samegar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, they deserted the ways, and went in by-ways; they went in crooked paths.
“Anath capa Shamgar tue vaengah, Jael tue vaengah, caehlong mueng tih a hawn kah aka cet khaw caehlong a kael te a paan uh.
7 The mighty men in Israel failed, they failed until Debbora arose, until she arose a mother in Israel.
Israel ah khosakung a tal he, Deborah a thoh duela tal uh coeng tih, Israel khuikah manu la ka phoe coeng.
8 They chose new gods; then the cities of rulers fought; there was not a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel.
Pathen thai rhoek a tuek uh vaengah vongka ah rhal khaw om dae, Israel thawng sawmli kah photling neh, cai ke hmu pawh.
9 My heart [inclines] to the orders given in Israel; ye that are willing among the people, bless the Lord.
Ka lungbuei loh, Israel aka taem taeng neh pilnam taengah aka puhlu rhoek, BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai saeh.
10 Ye that mount a she-ass at noon-day, ye that sit on the judgment-seat, and walk by the roads of them that sit in judgment by the way; declare
Laak bok dongah aka ngol rhoek, himbaidok dongah aka ngol tih, longpuei kah aka cet rhoek loh lolmang saeh.
11 [ye that are delivered] from the noise of disturbers among the drawers of water; there shall they relate righteous acts: O Lord, increase righteous acts in Israel: then the people of the Lord went down to the cities.
Sihthang ah aka phayang rhoek kah ol long tah, BOEIPA kah duengnah neh a khosakung rhoek kah duengnah te Israel lakliah a thoelh uh tih BOEIPA pilnam kah vongka la suntla uh.
12 Awake, awake, Debbora; awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barac, and lead thy captivity captive, son of Abineem.
Haenghang laeh, haenghang laeh, Deborah, haenghang laeh, haenghang laeh laa thoh laeh. Thoo laeh, Barak na tamna Abinoam capa te sol laeh.
13 Then went down the remnant to the strong, the people of the Lord went down for him among the mighty ones from me.
Rhaengnaeng loh, BOEIPA kah pilnam aka khuet rhoek taengla a suntlak vaengah kai taengah khaw hlangrhalh rhoek neh ha suntla.
14 Ephraim rooted them out in Amalec, behind thee was Benjamin among thy people: the inhabitants of Machir came down with me searching out the enemy, and from Zabulon came they that draw with the scribe's pen of record.
Amih yung te Ephraim lamloh Amalek khui la, namah hnukkah Benjamin neh Makir lamkah na pilnam long khaw, lairhoe mancai aka thueng, Zebulun khui lamkah aka taem la ha suntla.
15 And princess in Issachar were with Debbora and Barac, thus she sent Barac on his feet in the valleys into the portions of Ruben; great [pangs] reached to the heart.
Ka mangpa rhoek khaw Issakhar neh Deborah khuiah, Barak khaw Issakhar bangla a kho neh tuikol la a paan tih, Reuben kho-rha ah lungbuei khenah la yet.
16 Why did they sit between the sheep-folds to hear the bleating of flocks for the divisions of Ruben? [there were] great searchings of heart.
Balae tih saelvong laklo ah na ngol, lungbuei khenah aka yet he, Reuben khorha ah tuping kah a rhungnah aka ya la.
17 Galaad [is] on the other side of Jordan where he pitched his tents; and why does Dan remain in ships? Aser sat down on the sea-coasts, and he will tabernacle at his ports.
Gilead loh Jordan rhalvang ah a om vaengah, Dan khaw balae tih sangpho dongah a bakuep? Asher loh tuitun langkaeng ah kho a sak tih lihmoi ah om sut.
18 The people Zabulon exposed their soul to death, and Nephthali came to the high places of their land.

19 Kings set themselves in array, then the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanaach at the water of Mageddo; they took no gift of money.
Vathoh manghai rhoek ha pawk uh tih, Kanaan manghai rhoek te Meggido tui kah, Taanakh ah a tloek vaengah, mueluemnah neh cak pakhat pataeng lo uh pawh.
20 The stars from heaven set themselves in array, they set themselves [to fight] with Sisara out of their paths.
Vaan lamkah aisi rhoek lo a vathoh puei dongah, amih loh Sisera te longpuei lamkah a vathoh thil uh.
21 The brook of Kison swept them away, the ancient brook, the brook Kison: my mighty soul will trample him down.

22 When the hoofs of the horse were entangled, his mighty ones earnestly hasted
Te vaengah marhang aka lueng loh, rhetlonah a pet te a khomae a phop uh.
23 to curse Meroz: Curse ye [it], said the angel of the Lord; cursed [is] every one that dwells in it, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to his help among the mighty.
Meroz te thaephoei thil. BOEIPA kah puencawn loh, “BOEIPA kah bomnah, BOEIPA kah bomnah loh, hlangrhalh rhoek te a paan pawt dongah, a khuikah khosa rhoek te thaephoei thil saeh,” a ti.
24 Blessed among women be Jael wife of Chaber the Kenite; let her be blessed above women in tents.
Keni Heber yuu Jael, huta rhoek khuiah na yoethen. Dap khuikah huta rhoek lakah khaw na yoethen.
25 He asked for water, she gave him milk in a dish; she brought butter of princes.
Tui a hoe vaengah, suktui a paek tih, aka khuet baeldung dongah, suknaeng a khuen pah.
26 She stretched forth her left hand to the nail, and her right to the hand workman's hammer, and she smote Sisara with it, she nailed through his head and smote him; she nailed through his temples.
Hlingcong te a kut neh a thueng tih a bantang lamloh thakthaekung kah thilung neh, Sisera te a hen. Te dongah a lu te pop. Te vaengah a phop tih a baengpae la pawlh.
27 He rolled down between her feet; he fell and lay between her feet; he bowed and fell: where he bowed, there he fell dead.
A kho ah a sop uh doela cungku tih yalh. A kho laklo ah sop uh tih, a yalh vaengah a sop nah hmuen ah, cungku tih pahoi rhoelrhak sut.
28 The mother of Sisara looked down through the window out of the loophole, [saying], Why was his chariot ashamed? why did the wheels of his chariots tarry?
Bangbuet long a dan vaengah thohhuel ah Sisera manu te rhap, “Ba aih lae anih kah leng tah ha pawk ham a uelh? Ba aih lae anih kah leng tah khokan a hnong.
29 Her wise ladies answered her, and she returned answers to herself, [saying],
A boeinu hlangcueih rhoek te a doo tih, a ol pataeng a thuung pah.
30 Will they not find him dividing the spoil? he will surely be gracious to every man: [there are] spoils of dyed garments for Sisara, spoils of various dyed garments, dyed embroidered garments, they [are] the spoils for his neck.
Hula te kutbuem la a tael uh khaw hmu uh pawt nim? tongpa a lu ham tah hula a bok la, Sisera ham amah kutbuem la, himbaitnim, amhmo rhaekva, amhmo kutbuem, kutbuem rhawn kah rhaekva khaw om.
31 Thus let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: and they that love him shall be as the going forth of the sun in his strength. And the land had rest forty years.
Na thunkha rhoek loh boeih milh saeh BOEIPA. Tedae a thayung thamal neh khomik aka thoeng bangla a lungnah. Te dongah khohmuen loh kum sawmli khuiah mong.
