Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah, and Barak the sonne of Abinoam the same day, saying,
Nomusi uyo Dhibhora naBharaki mwanakomana waAbhinoami vakaimba rwiyo urwu runoti:
2 Praise ye the Lord for the auenging of Israel, and for the people that offred themselues willingly.
“Kana machinda aIsraeri achitungamirira, kana vanhu vachizvipira pachavo Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe!”
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.
“Inzwai izvi, imi madzimambo! Teererai imi vatongi! Ndichaimbira Jehovha, ini ndichaimba; ndichaimbira Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri.
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.
“Haiwa Jehovha, pamakabuda kubva muSeiri, pamakafamba muchibva munyika yeEdhomu, Nyika yakadengenyeka, matenga akadurura, makore akadurura mvura pasi.
5 The mountaines melted before the Lord, as did that Sinai before the Lord God of Israel.
Makomo akadengenyeka pamberi paJehovha, Iye weSinai, pamberi paJehovha, Mwari weIsraeri.
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.
“Mumazuva aShamugari mwanakomana waAnati, mumazuva aJaeri, migwagwa yakasiyiwa; vafambi vakafamba nenzira dzinopoterera.
7 The townes were not inhabited: they decayed, I say, in Israel, vntill I Deborah came vp, which rose vp a mother in Israel.
Upenyu hwomumisha hwakapera, hwakapera kusvikira ini Dhibhora, ndasimuka, ndasimuka ini mai muIsraeri.
8 They chose new gods: then was warre in the gates. Was there a shielde or speare seene among fourtie thousand of Israel?
Pavakasarudza vamwari vatsva, hondo yakauya ichibva nokumasuo eguta, uye hakuna nhoo kana pfumo zvakaonekwa pakati pezviuru makumi mana muIsraeri.
9 Mine heart is set on the gouernours of Israel, and on them that are willing among the people: praise ye the Lord.
Mwoyo wangu uri pamachinda eIsraeri, navaya vanozvipira pakati pavanhu. Rumbidzai Jehovha!
10 Speake ye that ride on white asses, yee that dwel by Middin, and that walke by the way.
“Imi munotasva mbongoro chena, mugere pamachira ezvigaro zvenyu, nemi munofamba munzira, cherechedzai
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.
inzwi ravaimbi panzvimbo dzemvura. Vanodetemba mabasa akarurama aJehovha, Mabasa akarurama avarwi vake muIsraeri. “Ipapo vanhu vaJehovha vakaburuka vakaenda kusuo reguta.
12 Vp Deborah, vp, arise, and sing a song: arise Barak, and leade thy captiuitie captiue, thou sonne of Abinoam.
‘Muka, muka, Dhibhora! Muka, muka, uimbe rwiyo! Simuka, Bharaki! Tapa vatapwa vako, iwe mwanakomana waAbhinoami.’
13 For they that remaine, haue dominio ouer the mightie of the people: the Lord hath giuen me dominion ouer the strong.
“Ipapo varume vakanga vasara vakaburuka vakaenda kumakurukota; vanhu vaJehovha vakauya kwandiri navane simba.
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.
Vamwe vakauya vachibva kwaEfuremu, midzi yavo yakanga iri muna Amareki; Bhenjamini akanga ari pakati pavanhu vakakutevera iwe. Kubva kuna Makiri vatungamiri vakaburuka, kubva kuZebhuruni avo vanotakura tsvimbo yomutungamiri wehondo.
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.
Machinda aIsakari akanga ana Dhibhora; hongu Isakari akanga ana Bharaki, vachimhanyira kumupata vachimutevera. Mudunhu raRubheni makanga muno kunzvera kwomwoyo kukuru.
16 Why abodest thou among the sheepefolds, to heare the bleatings of the flockes? for the diuisions of Reuben were great thoughts of heart.
Seiko wakagara pakati pezvoto kuti unzwe muridzo unoridzirwa matanga emakwai? Mudunhu raRubheni makanga muno kunzvera kwomwoyo kukuru.
17 Gilead abode beyonde Iorden: and why doeth Dan remayne in shippes? Asher sate on the sea shoare, and taryed in his decayed places.
Gireadhi akagara mhiri kwaJorodhani. Uye Dhani akasarireiko pazvikepe? Asha akasara zvake pamahombekombe Uye akagara zvake panopinda mvura dzegungwa.
18 But the people of Zebulun and Naphtali haue ieopard their liues vnto the death in the hie places of the field.
Vanhu veZebhuruni vakaisa upenyu hwavo panjodzi; neNafutari yakadarowo panzvimbo dzakakwirira dzeminda.
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.
“Madzimambo akauya, akarwa; madzimambo eKenani akarwa paTaanaki pamvura zhinji yeMegidho, asi havana kudzoka vakatakura sirivha, kana zvakapambwa.
20 They fought from heauen, euen the starres in their courses fought against Sisera.
Kubva kumatenga nyeredzi dzakarwa, dziri panzira dzadzo dzakarwa naSisera.
21 The Riuer Kishon swepe them away, that ancient riuer the riuer Kishon. O my soule, thou hast marched valiantly.
Rwizi Kishoni rwakavakukura, irwo rwizi rwakare, rwizi Kishoni. Pfuurira mberi, mweya wangu, simba!
22 Then were the horsehooues broken with the oft beating together of their mightie men.
Ipapo mahwanda amabhiza akatinhira, kumhanya, kumhanya kwoune simba.
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.
Mutumwa waJehovha akati, ‘Tuka Merozi. Tuka vanhu varo zvikuru kwazvo, nokuti havana kuuya kuzobatsira Jehovha, kubatsira Jehovha kurwisa vane simba.’
24 Iael the wife of Heber the Kenite shall be blessed aboue other women: blessed shall she be aboue women dwelling in tentes.
“Jaeri ngaave mukadzi akaropafadzwa zvikuru, iye mukadzi waHebheri muKeni, akaropafadzwa kwazvo kupfuura vakadzi vagere mutende.
25 He asked water, and shee gaue him milke: she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
Akakumbira mvura, iye akamupa mukaka; akamuvigira mukaka wakakora mundiro yakafanira makurukota.
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.
Ruoko rwake rwakatambanudzirwa pambambo yetende, ruoko rwake rworudyi kunyundo yomuvezi. Akabaya Sisera, akapwanya musoro wake, akapwanya uye akabvoora zvavovo zvake.
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.
Patsoka dzake, akanyura, akawa; hoyo akatandavarapo. Patsoka dzake akanyura, akawa; paakanyura, ndipo paakawira, akafa.
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?
“Napawindo mai vaSisera vakadongorera; vari seri kworutanda, vakadanidzira vachiti, ‘Seiko ngoro yake yanonoka kusvika? Seiko kurira kwengoro dzake kwanonoka?’
29 Her wise ladies answered her, Yea. Shee answered her selfe with her owne wordes,
Vakadzi vokwake vakachenjera kukunda vose vanomupindura; zvirokwazvo, anoramba achiti,
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.
‘Ko, havasi kuwana nokugoverana zvakapambwa here vachiti, musikana mumwe chete kana vaviri pamurume mumwe chete, nguo dzina mavara dzezvakapambwa zvaSisera, nguo dzina mavara dzakarukwa, nguo dzakanyatsorukwa dzomutsipa wangu, zvose izvi zviri zvakapambwa?’
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.
“Saka vavengi venyu vose ngavaparare, imi Jehovha! Asi vanokudai ngavave sezuva parinobuda nesimba raro.” Ipapo nyika yakava norugare kwamakore makumi mana.
