Judges 5
1 And Debbora and Barac son of Abineem sang in that day, saying,
Chiengʼno Debora kod Barak wuod Abinoam nowero wendni:
2 A revelation was made in Israel when the people were made willing: Praise you the Lord.
“Pakuru Jehova Nyasaye nikech jotelo mag Israel okawo loch, kendo ji giwegi ochiwore mar luwogi!
3 Hear, you kings, and listen, 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.
“Winjuru, un ruodhi! Chikuru itu, un jotelo! Abiro pako Jehova Nyasaye ka awerne; anachuog ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel wer.
4 O Lord, in your going forth on Seir, when you went forth out of the land of Edom, the earth quaked and the heaven dropped dews, and the clouds dropped water.
“Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, piny noyiengni, kendo polo nogingore, mi koth ochwe kane iwuok Seir e piny Edom.
5 The mountains were shaken before the face of the Lord Eloi, this Sina before the face of the Lord God of Israel.
Got Sinai noyiengni e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel.
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.
“E ndalo mag Shamgar wuod Anath, kendo e ndalo Jael, yore nojwangʼ, mi jowuoth ne luwo yore matindo.
7 The mighty men in Israel failed, they failed until Debbora arose, until she arose a mother in Israel.
Teko mar jolweny e miech Israel norumo, manyaka an Debora nabiro, ma abedo ka min ji e piny Israel.
8 They chose new gods; then the cities of rulers fought; there was not a shield or spear seen amongst forty thousand in Israel.
Kane giyiero nyiseche manyien, lweny nochakore e dhorangeye mag dala maduongʼ, kata mana okumba kod tongʼ ne ok oyudie kind jolwenj jo-Israel alufu piero angʼwen.
9 My heart [inclines] to the orders given in Israel; you that are willing amongst the people, bless the Lord.
Opak Jehova Nyasaye nikech chunya nigi jotend jo-Israel, kaachiel gi jogo mochiwore!
10 You that mount a she-ass at noon-day, you that sit on the judgement-seat, and walk by the roads of them that sit in judgement by the way; declare
“Un joma oidho punde marochere, kobedo e matandiko molos gi ongede, kendo un joma wuotho e wangʼ yo, winjuru,
11 [you that are delivered] from the noise of disturbers amongst 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.
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.
12 Awake, awake, Debbora; awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barac, and lead your captivity captive, son of Abineem.
Debora, chiew, chiew! ‘Chungi kendo ia malo mondo ichak wer! Aa malo, yaye Barak! Ter jogo miseloyo e twech, yaye wuod Abinoam.’
13 Then went down the remnant to the strong, the people of the Lord went down for him amongst the mighty ones from me.
“Eka jogo mane owe nobiro ir ruodhi; oganda Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ira gi teko duto.
14 Ephraim rooted them out in Amalec, behind you was Benjamin amongst your 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.
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.
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.
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.
16 Why did they sit between the sheepfolds to hear the bleating of flocks for the divisions of Ruben? [there were] great searchings of heart.
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.
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 nodongʼ loka Jordan. To angʼo momiyo Dan nogalore but meli? Asher to nodongʼ e dho nam mi gidak e dho wedhe kuma yiedhi gowe.
18 The people Zabulon exposed their soul to death, and Nephthali came to the high places of their land.
Jo-Zebulun nochiwo ngimagi ne tho; kamano bende Naftali noketo mare e kuonde kedo.
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.
“Ruodhi mag Kanaan nobiro, mokedo; Tanak machiegni gi pige mag Megido, to ne ok gidhi gi fedha, kata kawo gimoro amora moyako.
20 The stars from heaven set themselves in array, they set themselves [to fight] with Sisara out of their paths.
Koa e polo, sulwe nokedo, koa kama gichakore negikedo gi Sisera.
21 The brook of Kison swept them away, the ancient brook, the brook Kison: my mighty soul will trample him down.
Aora Kishon noywoyogi, aora ma hike ngʼeny, aora Kishon. Dhi nyime, chunya; bed motegno!
22 When the hoofs of the horse were entangled, his mighty ones earnestly hasted
Bangʼ mano mor mar tiende farese nowinji kachikore gi teko mangʼeny.
23 to curse Meroz: Curse you [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 amongst the mighty.
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni, ‘Okwongʼ Meroz kaachiel gi joge gi kwongʼ malit, nikech ne ok gibiro mondo gikony Jehova Nyasaye e lwet joma tek.’
24 Blessed amongst women be Jael wife of Chaber the Kenite; let her be blessed above women in tents.
“Jael ma chi Heber ja-Keni en dhako mogwedhi kuom mon duto, kendo ogwedhe moloyo mon duto modak e hema.
25 He asked for water, she gave him milk in a dish; she brought butter of princes.
Nokwayo pi modho, to nomiye chak; nokelone chak mopwo e bakul moromo ruoth chiemoe.
26 She stretched forth her left hand to the nail, and her right to the hand workman's hammer, and she struck Sisara with it, she nailed through his head and struck him; she nailed through his temples.
Norieyo lwete mondo okaw sigingi mar hema, ka lwete korachwich nokawogo twor. Nogoyo Sisera, motoyo wiye, kendo nopowo lela wangʼe.
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.
Nopodho e tiende, mogore piny; kendo kanyo ema nothoe. Adier, nopodho e tiende, mogore piny; kendo kama nopodhoeno, ema nogore piny motho.
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 wait?
“Min Sisera ne ngʼicho gie dirisa; kaywak kama: ‘Angʼo momiyo gache odeko kapok obiro? Angʼo momiyo mor mar gechene ok winjre?’
29 Her wise ladies answered her, and she returned answers to herself, [saying],
Achiel kuom jotichne ma nyiri mariek nodwoke; kawuoyo kende kama:
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.
‘Donge gipogo gik moyaki ka ngʼato ka ngʼato yudo nyako achiel kata ariyo, kendo imiyo Sisera lewni mabeyo kaachiel gi lewni mabeyo motwangʼ mongʼith, monego arwaki?’
31 Thus let all your 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.
“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.
