Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, on that day, saying,
Pea naʻe toki hiva ai ʻa Tepola mo Pelaki ko e foha ʻo ʻApinoami ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ʻo pehē,
2 For that leaders led in Israel, For that the people willingly offered themselves, Bless Jehovah!
“Mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ʻi he langomakiʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻi he ʻatu fiemālie pe ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai.
3 Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, [even] I, will sing to Jehovah; I will hymn to Jehovah the God of Israel.
Mou fanongo, ʻae ngaahi tuʻi; fakafanongo, ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi houʻeiki; ko au, ʻio, ko au, te u hiva kia Sihova; te u hiva fakafetaʻi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
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.
“ʻE Sihova ʻi hoʻo hāʻele atu mei Seia, ʻi hoʻo hāʻele mei he ngoue ʻo ʻItomi, naʻe tetetete ʻa māmani, pea naʻe tō ʻae ngaahi langi. Naʻe tō foki ʻae vai mei he ngaahi ʻao.
5 The mountains quaked before the face of Jehovah, That Sinai, from before Jehovah the God of Israel.
Naʻe vela ʻo vai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova, naʻa mo Sainai [naʻe pehē ]mei he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli.
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.
“ʻI he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Samikaʻa ko e foha ʻo ʻAnati, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Saeli, naʻe lala ʻae ngaahi hala motuʻa, pea naʻe ʻalu ʻae kakai fononga ʻi he ngaahi hala piko.
7 The villages ceased in Israel, Ceased until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother in Israel.
Naʻe ngaongao ʻae ngaahi potu kakai, naʻa nau ʻosiʻosi ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻo aʻu ki heʻeku tuʻu hake au ko Tepola, pea u tuʻu hake ko e faʻē ʻi ʻIsileli.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Naʻa nau fili ʻae ngaahi ʻotua foʻou, pea naʻe toki hoko ʻa ʻetau ʻi he ngaahi matapā: he naʻe hā mai ha fakaū pe ha foʻi tao ʻe taha ʻi he toko fā mano ʻi ʻIsileli?
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Jehovah!
ʻOku hanga atu hoku loto ki he kau pule ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe ʻatu fiemālie pe ʻakinautolu kia Sihova fakataha mo e kakai. Mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.
10 Ye that ride on white she-asses, ye that sit on carpets, and ye that walk by the way, consider.
“ʻAkimoutolu ʻoku heka ʻi he ngaahi ʻasi hina, mou tokanga, ʻakimoutolu ʻoku nofo ʻi he fakamaau, pea ko kimoutolu foki ʻoku fononga ʻi he hala;
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.
ʻI he tuku ʻae longoaʻa ʻoe kau tangata fana ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻoe fusi hake ʻoe ʻutu vai, tenau fakahā ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ngāue māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi ngāue māʻoniʻoni ki hono ngaahi potu kakai ʻi ʻIsileli: pea ʻe toki ʻalu hifo ʻae kakai ʻa Sihova ki he ngaahi matapā.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah! awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead captive thy captives, thou son of Abinoam!
Ke ke ʻā hake, ʻā hake, ʻe Tepola: ʻā hake, ʻā hake, fai ʻae hiva: tuʻu hake, ʻe Pelaki, pea tataki fakapōpula ʻa hoʻo pōpula, ʻa koe ko e foha ʻo ʻApinoami.
13 Then come down, thou, the remnant of nobles, [as his] people; Jehovah! come down with me in the midst of the mighty ones.
Naʻa ne ngaohi ai ʻaia naʻe toe ke pule ia ki he houʻeiki ʻi he kakai: naʻe fakanofo au ʻe Sihova ke u pule ki he kau mālohi.
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.
Naʻe ai ʻae aka ʻokinautolu mei ʻIfalemi naʻe tuʻu hake ki ʻAmaleki; ko Penisimani naʻe muimui ʻiate koe, mei hoʻo kakai: naʻe ʻalu hifo mei Mekili ʻae kau pule, pea mei Sepuloni ʻakinautolu ʻoku ala ki he peni ʻae tangata tohi.
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!
Pea naʻe ʻia Tepola ʻae houʻeiki ʻo ʻIsaka; ʻio, ʻa ʻIsaka mo Pelaki foki: naʻe fekau ia ʻi hono vaʻe ki he teleʻa. ʻI he ngaahi mavahevahe ʻa Lupeni naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi fifili lahi ʻoe loto.
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!
Ko e hā naʻa ke nofo ai ʻi he ngaahi ā sipi, ke fanongo ki he tangi ʻae fanga sipi? ʻI he ngaahi mavahevahe ʻa Lupeni [naʻe ʻi ai ]ʻae ngaahi fifili lahi ʻoe loto.
17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan; And Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat on the sea-shore, And abode in his creeks.
Naʻe nofo ʻa Kiliati ʻituʻa Sioatani, pea ko e hā naʻe nofo ai ʻa Tani ʻi he ngaahi vaka? Naʻe nofo pe ʻa ʻAseli ʻi he matātahi, pea nofo pe ia ʻi he ngaahi kolo.

Ko e kakai ʻo Sepulone mo Nafitalai naʻe siʻaki ʻenau moʻui ki he mate, ʻi he ngaahi potu fonua māʻolunga.
19 Kings came, — they fought; Then fought the kings of Canaan; At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; They took no spoil of silver.
“Naʻe haʻu ʻa e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo tau, pea tau ai ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Kenani ʻi Tenaki ʻo ofi ki he vai ko Mekito; naʻe ʻikai tenau toʻo ha paʻanga totongi.
20 From heaven was the fight; The stars from their courses fought with Sisera.
Naʻa nau tau mei langi; ko e ngaahi fetuʻu ʻi honau ngaahi ʻaluʻanga naʻa nau tauʻi ʻa Sisela.
21 The torrent of Kishon swept them away, That ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. My soul, thou hast trodden down strength!
Naʻe ʻauhia ʻakinautolu ke mole ʻi he vaitafe ko Kisone, ʻae vaitafe muʻa ko ia, ʻae vaitafe ko Kisone. ʻE hoku laumālie, kuo ke malakaki hifo ʻae mālohi.
22 Then did the horse-hoofs clatter with the coursings, The coursings of their steeds.
Naʻe toki maumau ʻae ngaahi ʻaofivaʻe ʻoe fanga hoosi ko e meʻa ʻi he lele vave, ko e lele vave ʻae ngaahi manu mālohi.
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.
‘Mou fakamalaʻiaʻi ʻa Melosi,’ ʻoku pehē ʻe he ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova, ‘Mou fakamamahi ʻae kakai ʻo ia; koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai te nau haʻu ke tokoni ʻa Sihova, ke tokoni ʻa Sihova ʻo tuʻu hake ki he mālohi.’
24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, Blessed above women in the tent!

25 He asked water, she gave milk; In the nobles' bowl she brought forth cream.

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.
Naʻe mafao ʻe ia hono nima ki he faʻo, mo hono nima toʻomataʻu ki he hamala ʻae tufunga; pea ne taaʻi ʻaki ʻa Sisela ʻae hamala, naʻa ne tā ʻaki ia hono ʻulu, ʻi heʻene tui ke ʻasi hono manifinifihanga.
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.

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?
“Naʻe fakasiosio ʻe he faʻē ʻa Sisela ʻi he matapā sioʻata, pea kalanga ia mei he tupa, “Ko e hā ʻoku tuai pehē ai hono saliote ʻi heʻene haʻu? Ko e hā ʻoku tatali ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa teka ʻo ʻene saliote?’
29 The wise amongst her ladies answer [her], Yea, she returneth answer to herself,
Naʻe tali ia ʻe heʻene kau fefineʻeiki poto, ʻio, naʻe tali ʻe ia ia ʻa ʻene lea,
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?
‘ʻIkai kuo nau lavaʻi? ʻIkai kuo nau vahevahe ʻae vete? Ko e taʻahine ʻe tokotaha pe toko ua ki he tangata taki taha kotoa pē; ko e koloa maʻa Sisela ko e meʻa lanu kehekehe, ʻae meʻa lanu kehekehe ʻoe ngāue tuitui, ʻae meʻa lanu kehekehe ʻoe ngāue tuitui fakapotu ua, ʻo ngali mo e kia [ʻokinautolu ]ʻoku maʻu ʻae vete?’
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.
“Ke ʻauha pehē pe ʻa ho ngaahi fili kotoa pē ʻe Sihova: ka ke tatau ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate ia mo e laʻā ʻi heʻene ʻalu hake ʻi hono mālohi.” Pea naʻe fiemālie ʻae fonua ʻi he taʻu ʻe fāngofulu.
