< Judges 5 >

1 Then sang Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, on that day, saying,
Te vaeng khohnin ah Deborah neh Abinoam capa Barak loh a hlai rhoi tih,
2 For that leaders led in Israel, For that the people willingly offered themselves, Bless Jehovah!
Pilnam loh a puhlu vaengah, Israel khuiah tawnlo rhoek khaw lim hamla, BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai saeh!
3 Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, [even] I, will sing to Jehovah; I will hymn to Jehovah 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 Jehovah, when thou wentest forth from Seir, When thou marchedst out of the fields of Edom, The earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, Yea, 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 quaked before the face of Jehovah, That Sinai, from before Jehovah the God of Israel.
“Sinai kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah, Israel Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah tlang rhoek khaw moelh uh.
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, The roads were unused, and the travellers on highways went by crooked paths.
“Anath capa Shamgar tue vaengah, Jael tue vaengah, caehlong mueng tiha hawn kah aka cet khaw caehlonga kael te a paan uh.
7 The villages ceased in Israel, Ceased until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother in Israel.
Israel ah khosakunga tal he, Deboraha thoh duela tal uh coeng tih, Israel khuikah manu la ka phoe coeng.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: Was there 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 is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Jehovah!
Ka lungbuei loh, Israel aka taem taeng neh pilnam taengah aka puhlu rhoek, BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai saeh.
10 Ye that ride on white she-asses, ye that sit on carpets, and ye that walk by the way, consider.
Laak bok dongah aka ngol rhoek, himbaidok dongah aka ngol tih, longpuei kah aka cet rhoek loh lolmang saeh.
11 Because of the voice of those who divide [the spoil] in the midst of the places of drawing water; There they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, His righteous acts toward his villages in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.
Sihthang ah aka phayang rhoek kah ol long tah, BOEIPA kah duengnah neh a khosakung rhoek kah duengnah te Israel lakliaha thoelh uh tih BOEIPA pilnam kah vongka la suntla uh.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah! awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead captive thy captives, thou son of Abinoam!
Haenghang laeh, haenghang laeh, Deborah, haenghang laeh, haenghang laeh laa thoh laeh. Thoo laeh, Barak na tamna Abinoam capa te sol laeh.
13 Then come down, thou, the remnant of nobles, [as his] people; Jehovah! come down with me in the midst of the mighty ones.
Rhaengnaeng loh, BOEIPA kah pilnam aka khuet rhoek taenglaa suntlak vaengah kai taengah khaw hlangrhalh rhoek neh ha suntla.
14 Out of Ephraim [came] those whose root was in Amalek; After thee was Benjamin among thy peoples. Out of Machir came down governors, And out of Zebulun they that handled the staff of the ruler.
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 the princes in Issachar were with Deborah; And Issachar, like Barak; They were sent into the valley at his feet. In the divisions of Reuben there were great resolves of heart!
Ka mangpa rhoek khaw Issakhar neh Deborah khuiah, Barak khaw Issakhar bangla a kho neh tuikol laa paan tih, Reuben kho-rha ah lungbuei khenah la yet.
16 Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, To hear the bleating of the flocks? In the divisions of Reuben there were great deliberations 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 Gilead abode beyond Jordan; And Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat on the sea-shore, And abode in his creeks.
Gilead loh Jordan rhalvang aha om vaengah, Dan khaw balae tih sangpho dongah a bakuep? Asher loh tuitun langkaeng ah kho a sak tih lihmoi ah om sut.
18 Zebulun is a people [that] jeoparded their lives unto death, Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
Zebulun neh Naphtali tah, hmuen sang ah duek ham, a hinglu aka soek pilnam ni.
19 Kings came, — they fought; Then fought the kings of Canaan; At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; They took no spoil of silver.
Vathoh manghai rhoek ha pawk uh tih, Kanaan manghai rhoek te Meggido tui kah, Taanakh aha tloek vaengah, mueluemnah neh cak pakhat pataeng lo uh pawh.
20 From heaven was the fight; The stars from their courses fought with Sisera.
Vaan lamkah aisi rhoek lo a vathoh puei dongah, amih loh Sisera te longpuei lamkaha vathoh thil uh.
21 The torrent of Kishon swept them away, That ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. My soul, thou hast trodden down strength!
Kishon soklong loh amih te a yo, khosuen soklong Kishon soklong, ka hinglu na sarhi neh na hnah mai.
22 Then did the horse-hoofs clatter with the coursings, The coursings of their steeds.
Te vaengah marhang aka lueng loh, rhetlonah a pet te a khomaea phop uh.
23 Curse Meroz, saith the Angel of Jehovah; Curse, curse the inhabitants thereof; For they came not to the help of Jehovah, To the help of Jehovah among the mighty.
Meroz te thaephoei thil. BOEIPA kah puencawn loh, “BOEIPA kah bomnah, BOEIPA kah bomnah loh, hlangrhalh rhoek tea paan pawt dongah, a khuikah khosa rhoek te thaephoei thil saeh,” a ti.
24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, Blessed above women in the tent!
Keni Heber yuu Jael, huta rhoek khuiah na yoethen. Dap khuikah huta rhoek lakah khaw na yoethen.
25 He asked water, she gave milk; In the nobles' bowl she brought forth cream.
Tuia hoe vaengah, suktuia paek tih, aka khuet baeldung dongah, suknaenga khuen pah.
26 She put her hand to the tent-pin, And her right hand to the workmen's hammer; And she smote Sisera, she struck through his head, Shattered and pierced 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 vaengaha phop tih a baengpae la pawlh.
27 Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell, overcome.
A kho aha 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 Them other of Sisera looketh out at the window, And crieth through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the trampings of his chariots?
Bangbuet longa dan vaengah thohhuel ah Sisera manu te rhap, “Ba aih lae anih kah leng tah ha pawk hama uelh? Ba aih lae anih kah leng tah khokana hnong.
29 The wise amongst her ladies answer [her], Yea, she returneth answer to herself,
A boeinu hlangcueih rhoek te a doo tih, a ol pataenga thuung pah.
30 Have they not found, divided the booty, A damsel, two damsels, to each? A booty of dyed stuffs for Sisera, A booty of dyed stuffs of embroidery, Dyed stuff of double embroidery for the neck of a spoiler?
Hula te kutbuem la a tael uh khaw hmu uh pawt nim? tongpaa lu ham tah hula a bok la, Sisera ham amah kutbuem la, himbaitnim, amhmo rhaekva, amhmo kutbuem, kutbuem rhawn kah rhaekva khaw om.
31 So let all thine enemies perish, Jehovah! But let them that love him be as the rising of the sun in its might. And the land had rest forty years.
Na thunkha rhoek loh boeih milh saeh BOEIPA. Tedae a thayung thamal neh khomik aka thoeng banglaa lungnah. Te dongah khohmuen loh kum sawmli khuiah mong.
