Judges 5
1 That day Deborah and Barak, son of Abinoam, sang this song:
I A la, mele aku la o Debora laua o Baraka, ke keiki a Abinoama, i ka i ana,
2 “Israel's leaders took charge, and the people were totally committed. Praise the Lord!
No ke alakai koa ana o na'lii iloko o ka Iseraela, No ka hooikaika nui ana o na kanaka, E hoomaikai ia Iehova.
3 Listen, kings! Pay attention, rulers! I, yes I, will sing to the Lord; I will praise the Lord, the God of Israel, in song.
E hoolohe mai, e na'lii, E haliu mai i pepeiao, e na mea nani; Owau, ia Iehova no wau e mele aku ai: E oli aku au ia Iehova i ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
4 Lord, when you set off from Seir, when you marched from the land of Edom, the earth shook, rain fell from the skies, the clouds poured down water.
E Iehova, i kou puka ana iwaho o Seira, I kou hele ana aku, mai ka papu aku o Edoma, Naue ae la ka honua, kulu ka lani, Nakulukulu no hoi na ao i ka wai.
5 The mountains melted in the presence of the Lord, the God of Sinai, in the presence of the Lord, the God of Israel.
Hehee iho la na mauna imua o Iehova, O Sinai nei imua o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
6 In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, in the days of Jael, people didn't use the main highways and stayed on winding paths.
I na la o Samegara, ke keiki a Anata, I na la o Iaela, oki loa iho la na huakai hele, O ka poe i hele i ke alanui, hele lakou ma na ala malu
7 Village life in Israel was abandoned until I, Deborah, came on the scene as a mother in Israel.
Oki iho la na luna, Oki lakou iloko o ka Iseraela, A ku iluna au, o Debora nei, Ku mai la au, he makuwahine iloko o ka Iseraela.
8 When the people chose new gods, then war arrived at their gates. Not even a shield or spear could be found among forty thousand warriors in Israel.
Olioli lakou i na'kua hou, Alaila, he kaua ma na puka o ka pa; Ua ikea anei ka palekaua, a me ka pololu, I waena o na kanaha tausani o ka Iseraela?
9 My thoughts are with the Israelite commanders and those people who volunteered. Praise the Lord!
Aia no ko'u naau me na luna o ka Iseraela, Me ka poe i hooikaika wale iwaena o na kanaka. E hoomaikai ia Iehova.
10 You people riding white donkeys, sitting on comfortable blankets, traveling down the road, notice
E, ka poe holo ma na hoki keokeo, Ka poe noho e hooponopono ana, Na mea hele ma na alanui, E noonoo oukou.
11 what people are talking about as they gather at the watering holes. They describe the Lord's just acts and those of his warriors in Israel. Then the people of the Lord went to the town gates.
Me ka uwalaau ole o ka poe e puunaue ana i ka waiwai pio ma na holowaawai, Ilaila, e hookani lakou i na lanakila ana o Iehova; Na lanakila ana o kona poe luna maloko o ka Iseraela: Alaila, e iho no na kanaka o Iehova, i na puka o ka pa.
12 ‘Wake up, Deborah, wake up! Wake up, wake up, sing a song! Get up, Barak! Capture your prisoners, son of Abinoam.’
E ala, e ala, e Debora, E ala, e ala, e oli i ka oli: E ku mai, e Baraka, e alakai pio aku i kou poe pio, e ke keiki a Abinoama.
13 The survivors went to attack the nobles, the people of the Lord went to attack the powerful.
O ka mea i pakele, ua hoolanakila mai kela ia ia maluna o na mea kiekie o kanaka: Ua hoolanakila mai o Iehova ia ia, maluna o ka poe koa.
14 Some came from Ephraim, a land that used to belong to the Amalekites; the tribe of Benjamin followed you with its men. Commanders came Makir; from Zebulun came those who carry a military officer's staff.
Mawaena mai o Eperaima, ke kumu i ku e i ko Ameleka; Mahope ou, e Beniamina, maloko o kou poe kanaka; Mai Makira mai i iho mai ai na luna, A mai Zebuluna mai ka poe i paa ai ka ihe o ka alihikaua.
15 The leaders of Issachar supported Deborah and Barak; they raced into the valley following Barak. But the tribe of Reuben was very undecided.
Me Debora no na'lii o Isakara, O Isakara no, a pela no o Baraka. Ma kona wawae ia i hoounaia'ku ai i ke awawa. Ma na kahawai o Reubena, nui loa ka noonoo ana o ka naau.
16 Why did you stay at home in the sheepfolds, listening to shepherds whistling for their flocks? The tribe of Reuben really couldn't decide what to do.
No ke aha la oe i noho ai ma na pa holoholona, E hoolohe aku i ka uwe ana o na hipa? Ma na kahawai o Reubena, nui loa ka huli ana o ka naau.
17 Gilead remained on the other side of Jordan. Dan stayed with his ships. Asher sat still on the seacoast, not moving from his ports.
Noho aku la ko Gileada mao aku o Ioredane. No ke aha la i noho ai ka Dana ma na moku? Noho no ka Asera ma kahakai, Ma kona awa lulu kona noho ana.
18 The people of Zebulun risked their lives; as did Naphtali on the high battlefields.
He poe kanaka ka Zebuluna, i hoowahawaha i ko lakou ola i ka make, O ka Napetali kekahi, ma na puu o ke kula.
19 Kings came and fought, the Canaanite kings fought at Taanach near the waters of Megiddo, but they didn't get any silver plunder.
Hele mai na'lii, a kaua, Alaila, kaua na'lii o Kanaana Ma Taanaka, ma na wai o Megido; Aole lakou i lawe i ke kala i mea waiwai.
20 The stars fought from heaven. The stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Kaua mai ko ka lani, Kaua mai na hoku ma ko lakou kuamoo, ia Sisera.
21 The Kishon River swept them away—the old river turned into a raging torrent! I bravely march on!
Na ka muliwai o Kisona lakou i lawe aku, O ka muliwai kahiko, ka muliwai o Kisona. E kuu uhane, ua hele oe me ka ikaika nui.
22 Then the horses' hooves flailed loudly, his stallions stampeded.
Alaila, hehi iho na manea o na lio, No ka wikiwiki, ka wikiwiki o ko lakou alii.
23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ says the angel of the Lord. ‘Totally curse those who live there, for they refused to come help the Lord, to help the Lord against the powerful enemies.’
E hoino aku ia Meroza, Wahi a ka anela o Iehova, Me ka hoino nui e hoiuo ai i ka poe i noho ilaila; No ka mea, aole lakou i hele e kokua mamuli o Iehova, E kokua ia Iehova imua o ka poe ikaika,
24 Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite is to be praised the most among women. She deserves praise above all other women who live in tents.
Mamua o na wahine, e pomaikai ana o Iaela, Ka wahine a Hebera no ko Kena; E pomaikai ana ia mamua o na wahine iloko o na halelewa.
25 He asked for water, and she gave him milk. In a bowl fit for nobles she brought him buttermilk.
Nonoi mai o [Sisera] i ka wai, Haawi aku oia i ka waiu; O ka waiu paa kana i lawe mai ai ma ka ipu nani.
26 With one hand she picked up the tent peg, and with her right hand she held a workman's hammer. She hit Sisera and smashed his skull; she shattered and pierced his temple.
Kau aku la oia i kona lima ma ke kui, O kona lima akau hoi ma ka hamare o ka mea paahana. Hahau ae la ia Sisera, hahau io no i kona poo, Kui aku la oia, a hou aku no i kona maha.
27 At her feet he collapsed, he fell, he lay motionless. At her feet he collapsed, he fell; where he collapsed, there he fell, his life plundered from him.
Mawaena o kona mau wawae ia i kulou ai, Hina no ia a moe iho la ilalo; Mawaena o kona mau wawae ia i kulou ai, a hina iho la; Ma kahi ana i kulou ai, malaila ia i hina make ai.
28 Sisera's mother looked out from the window. Through the latticed window she cried out, ‘Why is his chariot taking so long to come? Why is the sound of his chariot arriving so delayed?’
Ma ka puka makani i hakapono aku ai ka makuwahine o Sisera, Ma ka puka olu oia i hea aku ai, No ke aha la i hookaulua kona kaakaua ke hele mai? Ua lohi na pokaka o kona mau kaakaua i ke aha?
29 The wisest of her ladies tells her, and she repeats the same words to herself,
I mai la na'lii wahine akamai, Nana no i hai mai ia ia iho;
30 ‘They're busy dividing up the plunder and assigning a girl or two for each man. There'll be colorful clothes for Sisera as plunder; beautifully embroidered colorful clothes as plunder; double-embroidered clothing reaching to the neck as plunder.’
Aole anei i loaa ia lakou? Aole anei lakou i puunaue i ka waiwai pio? Pakahi, papalua paha na ke kane ke kaikamahine? No Sisera ka waiwai pio onionio, Ka waiwai pio onionio i humuia, Ka mea i humu onionio ia no na a-i o ka poe lanakila?
31 May all your enemies die like this, Lord, but may those who love you shine like the sun in all its brilliance!” The land was at peace for forty years.
Pela e make ai kou poe enemi a pau, e Iehova, Aka, o ka poe aloha ia oe, e like ae lakou me ka la e puka ana ma kona ikaika. Hoomaha iho la ka aina, i hookahi kanaha makahiki.
