< Judges 5 >

1 Then sang Deborah, and Barak the sonne of Abinoam the same day, saying,
Na ka waiata a Tepora raua ko Paraka tama a Apinoama i taua ra, ka mea,
2 Praise ye the Lord for the auenging of Israel, and for the people that offred themselues willingly.
Whakapaingia a Ihowa mo te takitakinga a nga kaitakitaki o Iharaira, mo te hihikotanga mai o te iwi.
3 Heare, ye Kings, hearken ye princes: I, euen I will sing vnto the Lord: I will sing praise vnto the Lord 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 Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou departedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heauens rained, the cloudes also 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 mountaines melted before the Lord, as did that Sinai before the Lord 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 dayes of Shamgar the sonne of Anath, in the dayes of Iael the hie wayes were vnoccupied, and the trauelers walked through by wayes.
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 townes were not inhabited: they decayed, I say, in Israel, vntill I Deborah came vp, which rose vp a mother 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 They chose new gods: then was warre in the gates. Was there a shielde or speare seene among fourtie 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 Mine heart is set on the gouernours of Israel, and on them that are willing among the people: praise ye 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 Speake ye that ride on white asses, yee that dwel by Middin, and that walke by 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 For the noyse of the archers appaised among the drawers of water: there shall they rehearse the righteousnesse of the Lord, his righteousnesse of his townes in Israel: then did the people of the Lord goe downe to the gates.
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 Vp Deborah, vp, arise, and sing a song: arise Barak, and leade thy captiuitie captiue, thou sonne of Abinoam.
Maranga, maranga, e Tepora: maranga, maranga, whakahuatia he waiata: whakatika, e Paraka, arahina tau whakaraunga ki te whakarau, e te tama a Apinoama.
13 For they that remaine, haue dominio ouer the mightie of the people: the Lord hath giuen me dominion ouer the strong.
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 Of Ephraim their roote arose against Amalek: and after thee, Beniamin shall fight against thy people, O Amalek: of Machir came rulers, and of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
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 And the Princes of Issachar were with Deborah, and Issachar, and also Barak: he was set on his feete in the valley: for the diuisions of Reuben were great thoughts of heart.
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 abodest thou among the sheepefolds, to heare the bleatings of the flockes? for the diuisions of Reuben were great thoughts of heart.
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 Gilead abode beyonde Iorden: and why doeth Dan remayne in shippes? Asher sate on the sea shoare, and taryed in his decayed places.
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 the people of Zebulun and Naphtali haue ieopard their liues vnto the death in the hie places of the field.
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: then fought the Kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: they receiued no gaine of money.
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 They fought from heauen, euen the starres in their courses fought against Sisera.
I whawhai iho ratou i te rangi; i whawhai nga whetu i o ratou huarahi ki a Hihera.
21 The Riuer Kishon swepe them away, that ancient riuer the riuer Kishon. O my soule, thou hast marched valiantly.
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 Then were the horsehooues broken with the oft beating together of their mightie men.
Takatakahi ana i reira nga paua o nga hoiho, na nga pekenga, na nga tupeketanga a o ratou marohirohi.
23 Curse ye Meroz: (sayd the Angel of the Lord) curse the inhabitantes thereof, because they came not to helpe the Lord, to helpe the Lord against the mighty.
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 Iael the wife of Heber the Kenite shall be blessed aboue other women: blessed shall she be aboue women dwelling in tentes.
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 water, and shee gaue him milke: she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
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 hand to the naile, and her right hand to the workemans hammer: with the hammer smote she Sisera: she smote off his head, after she had wounded, and pearsed 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 He bowed him downe at her feete, he fell downe, and lay still: at her feete hee bowed him downe, and fell: and when he had sunke downe, he lay there dead.
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 The mother of Sisera looked out at a windowe, and cryed thorowe the lattesse, Why is his charet so long a comming? why tary the wheeles of his charets?
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 Her wise ladies answered her, Yea. Shee answered her selfe with her owne wordes,
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 Haue they not gotten, and they deuide the spoyle? euery man hath a mayde or two. Sisera hath a praye of diuers coloured garmentes, a pray of sundry colours made of needle worke: of diuers colours of needle worke on both sides, for the chiefe of the spoyle.
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 thine enemies perish, O Lord: but they that loue him, shall be as the Sunne when he riseth in his might, and the lande had rest fourtie yeres.
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.
