Judges 5
1 In that day Debbora and Barac son of Abinoem sung, and said:
Na ka waiata a Tepora raua ko Paraka tama a Apinoama i taua ra, ka mea,
2 O you of Israel, that have willingly offered your lives to danger, bless the Lord.
Whakapaingia a Ihowa mo te takitakinga a nga kaitakitaki o Iharaira, mo te hihikotanga mai o te iwi.
3 Hear, O ye kings, give ear, ye princes: It is I, it is I, that will sing to the Lord, I will sing to the Lord the God of Israel.
Whakarongo, e nga kingi, kia whai taringa, e nga rangatira; maku, ae ra, maku e waiata ki a Ihowa; ka himene ahau ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira.
4 O Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, and passedst by the regions of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped water.
E Ihowa, i tou putanga atu i Heira, i tou haerenga atu i te parae i Eroma, i wiri te whenua, i maturuturu iho ano nga rangi; i maturuturu iho ano hoki nga wai o nga kapua.
5 The mountains melted before the face of the Lord, and Sinai before the face of the Lord the God of Israel.
I rere a wai nga maunga i te aroaro o Ihowa, ko taua Hinai ano hoki, i te aroaro o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira.
6 In the days of Samgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jahel the paths rested: and they that went by them, walked through by-ways.
I nga ra o Hamakara tama a Anata, i nga ra o Taere, i takoto kau nga huarahi, i haere hoki nga tira haere i nga ara i tahaki.
7 The valiant men ceased, and rested in Israel: until Debbora arose, a mother arose in Israel.
I mutu rawa nga rangatira o Iharaira, i kahore rawa, a whakatika noa ake ahau, a Tepora, whakatika ake ahau, he whaea no Iharaira.
8 The Lord chose new wars, and he himself overthrew the gates of the enemies: a shield and spear was not seen among forty thousand of Israel.
I whiriwhiria e ratou he atua hou; katahi ka puta he whawhai ki nga kuwaha: i kitea ranei he pukupuku, he tao ranei, i roto i nga mano e wha tekau o Iharaira?
9 My heart loveth the princes of Israel: O you that of your own good will offered yourselves to danger, bless the Lord.
Kei nga kaiwhakatakoto tikanga o Iharaira toku ngakau; i hihiko ratou ki te tuku i a ratou i roto i te iwi. Whakapaingia a Ihowa.
10 Speak, you that ride upon fair asses, and you that sit in judgment, and walk in the way.
Korerotia, e nga kaieke kaihe ma, e te hunga e noho ana i runga i nga whariki utu nui, e te hunga e haere ana i te ara.
11 Where the chariots were dashed together, and the army of the enemies was choked, there let the justices of the Lord be rehearsed, and his clemency towards the brave men of Israel: then the people of the Lord went down to the gates, and obtained the sovereignty.
Mamao noa mai i te reo o nga kaikopere, i nga wahi utuhanga wai, ka korerotia e ratou i reira nga mahi tika a Ihowa, nga mahi tika o tana whakahaere tikanga i roto i a Iharaira: katahi te iwi o Ihowa ka heke ki raro ki nga kuwaha.
12 Arise, arise, O Debbora, arise, arise, and utter a canticle. Arise, Barac, and take hold of thy captives, O son of Abinoem.
Maranga, maranga, e Tepora: maranga, maranga, whakahuatia he waiata: whakatika, e Paraka, arahina tau whakaraunga ki te whakarau, e te tama a Apinoama.
13 The remnants of the people are saved, the Lord hath fought among the valiant ones.
Katahi ka haere mai ki raro te morehu o nga rangatira, me te iwi; i haere mai hoki a Ihowa ki raro moku ki te whawhai ki te mea nui.
14 Out of Ephraim he destroyed them into Amalec, and after him out of Benjamin into thy people, O Amalec: Out of Machir there came down princes, and out of Zabulon they that led the army to fight.
I puta mai i a Eparaima te hunga ko to ratou pakiaka nei kei a Amareke; kei muri i a koe, e Pineamine, i roto i ou iwi; i haere mai nga kaiwhakatakoto tikanga i roto i a Makiri; no roto i a Hepurona nga kaihapai i te tokotoko a te kaiwhakahaere.
15 The captains of Issachar were with Debbora, and followed the steps of Barac, who exposed himself to danger, as one going headlong, and into a pit. Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men.
I a Tepora hoki nga rangatira o Ihakara; he pera a Ihakara, he pera hoki a Paraka: huaki atu ana ratou i raro i ona waewae ki te raorao. I nga manga wai o Reupena, tera nga whakaaroaronga nunui o te ngakau.
16 Why dwellest thou between two borders, that thou mayest hear the bleatings of the flocks? Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men.
He aha koe i noho ai ki nga taiepa hipi, whakarongo ai ki nga whakatangi mo nga kahui? I nga manga wai o Reupena, tera nga rapurapunga nunui o te ngakau.
17 Galaad rested beyond the Jordan, and Dan applied himself to ships: Aser dwelt on the sea shore, and abode in the havens.
I noho a Kireara ki tera taha o Horano: na ko Rana, he aha ia i noho ai i runga i nga kaipuke? Ko Ahera, whakakeke tonu mai i te takutai moana, a noho ana ia i te taha o ona manga wai.
18 But Zabulon and Nephtali offered their lives to death in the region of Merome.
Ko Hepurona he iwi i whakahawea o ratou tinana ki te mate; raua ko Napatari i nga wahi teitei o te parae.
19 The kings came and fought, the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanach by the waters of Mageddo, and yet they took no spoils.
I haere mai nga kingi, i whawhai, na ka whawhai nga kingi o Kanaana ki Taanaka, ki te taha o nga wai o Mekiro. Kihai tetahi moni i riro hei taonga mo ratou.
20 War from heaven was made against them, the stars remaining in their order and courses fought against Sisara.
I whawhai iho ratou i te rangi; i whawhai nga whetu i o ratou huarahi ki a Hihera.
21 The torrent of Cison dragged their carcasses, the torrent of Cadumim, the torrent of Cisoii: tread thou, my soul, upon the strong ones.
I kahakina atu ratou e te awa, e Kihona, e taua awa tawhito, e te awa, e Kihona. E toku wairua, haere tonu i runga i te kaha.
22 The hoofs of the horses were broken whilst the stoutest of the enemies fled amain, and fell headlong down.
Takatakahi ana i reira nga paua o nga hoiho, na nga pekenga, na nga tupeketanga a o ratou marohirohi.
23 Curse ye the land of Meroz, said the angel of the Lord: curse the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to help his most valiant men.
Kanga a Meroho, e ai ta te anahera a Ihowa; kanga kinotia nga tangata o reira; mo ratou kihai i haere mai hei awhina mo Ihowa, hei awhina mo Ihowa ki te whawhai ki te hunga nunui.
24 Blessed among women be Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, and blessed be she in her tent.
Kia manaakitia i roto i nga wahine a Taere wahine a Hepere Keni; kia manaakitia i roto i nga wahine o te teneti.
25 He asked her water and she gave him milk, and offered him butter in a dish fit for princes.
I tonoa e tuahangata he wai mona, he waiu tana i hoatu ai, kawea ana e ia he pata i roto i te peihana rangatira.
26 She put her left hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman’s hammer, and she struck Sisara, seeking in his head a place for the wound, and strongly piercing through his temples.
Totoro atu ana tona ringa ki te titi, tona matau ki te hama a nga kaimahi; hama iho e ia a Hihera, akina iho tona pane; titia iho hoki e ia tona rahirahinga a puta rawa.
27 At her feet he fell: he fainted, and he died: he rolled before her feet, and he lay lifeless and wretched.
Kupapa ana ia ki ona waewae, hinga ana, takoto ana: i kupapa ia, i hinga, ki ona waewae: ko te wahi i kupapa ai ia, hinga ana ia i reira, mate rawa.
28 His mother looked out at a window, and howled: and she spoke from the dining room: Why is his chariot so long in coming back? Why are the feet of his horses so slow?
I titiro mai te whaea o Hihera i te matapihi, i karanga hoki i te wini whakakahokaho, Na te aha i roa ai te haere mai o tana hariata? Na te aha i puhoi ai nga wira o ana hariata?
29 One that was wiser than the rest of his wives, returned this answer to her mother in law:
Ka utua e nga mea mohio o ana wahine rangatira; Ae, ko ia ano hei whakahoki ake i te kupu ki a ia ano,
30 Perhaps he is now dividing the spoils, and the fairest of the women is chosen out for him: garments of divers colours are given to Sisara for his prey, and furniture of different kinds is heaped together to adorn the necks.
Kahore ranei ratou i tupono atu, i wehewehe i nga taonga? He kotiro, tokorua nga kotiro ki tera, ki tera; he taonga kotingotingo to Hihera, he taonga kotingotingo, he mea whatu ki te ngira, he mea kotingotingo, he mea whatu ki te ngira i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, mo nga kaki o te hunga i te taonga parakete?
31 So let all thy enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love thee shine, as the sun shineth in his rising. And the land rested for forty years.
Kia pena te whakangaromanga o ou hoariri katoa, e Ihowa; kia rite ia te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia ki te ra i tona putanga kaha mai. Na e wha tekau nga tau i okioki ai te whenua.
