< Judges 5 >

1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying:
Hat nah hnin vah, Deborah hoi Abinoam capa Barak ni la a sak roi.
2 When men let grow their hair in Israel, when the people offer themselves willingly, bless ye the LORD.
Kahrawikung bawinaw ni Isarelnaw a hrawi teh, taminaw ni amamouh lungthocalah hoi a kâhmoun awh teh, BAWIPA teh a pholen awh.
3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, unto the LORD will I sing; I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.
Oe siangpahrangnaw thai awh haw, Oe bawinaw thai awh haw, BAWIPA koe la ka sak vai, Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut koe la hoi ka pholen vai.
4 LORD, when Thou didst go forth out of Seir, when Thou didst march out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, yea, the clouds dropped water.
BAWIPA nang ni Sisera mon lahoi na tho teh, Edom kahrawng hoi taran na tuk navah, talai a kâhuet teh, tâmai dawk hoi kho thouk na rak sak.
5 The mountains quaked at the presence of the LORD, even yon Sinai at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel.
BAWIPA hmalah monnaw teh a kâhuet. Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut hmalah vah, Sinai mon a kâhuet.
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways ceased, and the travellers walked through byways.
Anath capa Shamgar se nah, Jael se nahaiyah lamthungnaw teh kingdi dawkvah, kahlawng kacetnaw ni lamtalawi dawk hoi a cei awh.
7 The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, until that thou didst arise, Deborah, that thou didst arise a mother in Israel.
Isarel miphunnaw koe bawi kâkuen laipalah ao. Kai Deborah ka tâco hoehnahlan, Isarel miphun dawk a manu a tâco hoeh nah totouh, bawi kâkuen laipalah ao.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates; was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Isarelnaw ni cathut kathanaw hah a kârawi awh. Hat toteh, ahnimae khopuinaw hah tarannaw ni a tuk pouh awh.
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
Isarel miphun 40, 000 touh teh, bahling, tahroe buet touh hai tawn awh hoeh.
10 Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on rich cloths, and ye that walk by the way, tell of it;
Nangmouh marang pangaw dawk kâcuinaw, kalan lah lawkcengkungnaw, lam dawk na ka cet e naw,
11 Louder than the voice of archers, by the watering-troughs! there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts of His rulers in Israel. Then the people of the LORD went down to the gates.
a coe awh e hnopainaw hah, tuido teng a kârei awh e lawk na thai awh navah, la sak awh. BAWIPA e lannae, Isarel khocanaw koe lannae lahoi thaw tawknae naw hah hote hmuen koe a pholen awh han. Hahoi teh, amamouh onae kho koelah, BAWIPA e taminaw teh bout a ban awh toe.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song; arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
Kâhlaw leih, kâhlaw leih, Deborah kâhlaw leih. Kâhlaw leih, la sak leih. Tho haw Barak, na man e taminaw hah thokhai haw, Oe Abinoam capa.
13 Then made He a remnant to have dominion over the nobles and the people; the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
Na man awh e taminaw thokhai haw. Kacawie naw teh ransanaw koe a ban awh. BAWIPA e taminaw ni a tha kaawm, athakaawme taminaw tuk hanlah kai hanlah a cei awh.
14 Out of Ephraim came they whose root is in Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the marshal's staff.
Amalek tengpam kaawm e naw niyah, Ephraim hoi a kamthaw awh. Ahnimae hnuklah, na ransabawinaw thung dawk e Benjaminnaw teh a kâbang awh. Makhir bawinaw, Zebulun kâ kapoekungnaw teh a kamthaw awh.
15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; as was Issachar, so was Barak; into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. Among the divisions of Reuben there were great resolves of heart.
Issakhar bawi hai Deborah hoi a tho teh, Issakhar teh Barak ni a kâuep e lah ao awh. Barak hnuk vah ayawn dawk a pâlei awh. Reuben miphunnaw teh lungthin kâounnae a tawn awh.
16 Why sattest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the pipings for the flocks? At the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
Nang ni tu hram lawk thai hanelah, bangkongmaw mon rahak vah sut na tahung. Reuben miphunnaw teh lung koung a samphei awh.
17 Gilead abode beyond the Jordan; and Dan, why doth he sojourn by the ships? Asher dwelt at the shore of the sea, and abideth by its bays.
Gilead teh Jordan namran lah ao. Dannaw teh long kâhatnae koe bangkongmaw sut ao awh vaw. Ashernaw teh long kâhatnae koe a kongteng vah, kâroe laipalah bangkongmaw sut ao rumram awh vaw.
18 Zebulun is a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, and Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.
Zebulunnaw teh hring poe ditouh a lungsa awh. Naphtalinaw hai ka rasang e kahrawngnaw dawk a lungsa awh.
19 The kings came, they fought; then fought the kings of Canaan, in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
Siangpahrangnaw ni a tho awh teh, a tuk awh. Kanaan siangpahrangnaw ni Megiddo tui Taanakh kho teng a tuk awh ei, sui ngun hnopai lawm thai awh hoeh.
20 They fought from heaven, the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Kalvan lahoi taran tuk a kabawp awh teh, Âsinaw a kâhei awh navah, Sisera teh a tuk awh.
21 The brook Kishon swept them away, that ancient brook, the brook Kishon. O my soul, tread them down with strength.
Ahnimanaw teh kalawng e Kishion tui ni he a pâyo awh. Oe ka muitha nang ni athakasaipoung e na tâ toe.
22 Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
Hat toteh, marangransanaw ni marangnaw a yawng sak awh teh, marangnaw ni talai hah khoktabei hoi a takhawi laihoi a yawng awh.
23 'Curse ye Meroz', said the angel of the LORD, 'Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.'
Meroz teh thoebo hottelah BAWIPA e kalvantami ni ati. Athung e kaawm e puenghai thoebo haw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA a kabawp hoeh dawk doeh. Athakaawme tuk han BAWIPA kabawp hoeh dawkvah.
24 Blessed above women shall Jael be, the wife of Heber the Kenite, above women in the tent shall she be blessed.
Ken tami, Heber e a yu Jael teh, napui thung dawk a yawkahawipoung e lah awmseh. Rim thung kaawm e napui thung dawk, a yawkahawipoung e lah awmseh.
25 Water he asked, milk she gave him; in a lordly bowl she brought him curd.
Tui a hei nah, Jael ni maito sanutui a pânei. Bawi manang dawk hoi maito sanutui a poe.
26 Her hand she put to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote through his head, yea, she pierced and struck through his temples.
Rim hetnae cawt a la teh, aranglae kut hoi thaw tawknae cakkin hoi Sisera teh a hem teh, a hnâlakheng dawk pawkkayawng lah a hem.
27 At her feet he sunk, he fell, he lay; at her feet he sunk, he fell; where he sunk, there he fell down dead.
A khok koe a rawp teh a rawpnae hmuen koe a due.
28 Through the window she looked forth, and peered, the mother of Sisera, through the lattice: 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
Hlalangaw dawk hoi a khet teh Sisera manu ni a khui. Bangkongmaw ahnie sumranglengnaw teh, bangkongmaw a tho hnai hoeh. Rangleng khoknaw teh bangkongmaw a hnawng telah a khui.
29 The wisest of her princesses answer her, yea, she returneth answer to herself:
A lungkaang e napuinaw ni a dei pouh e hloilah, amahoima ni a kâpathung e teh,
30 'Are they not finding, are they not dividing the spoil? A damsel, two damsels to every man; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments of embroidery, two dyed garments of broidery for the neck of every spoiler?'
amamouh ni a hmu awh e hnonaw a kârei awh mue toe. Ransanaw koe tanglakacuem buet touh hoehpawiteh kahni touh, Sisera hanlah, asî bu e khohna, a em kaawm lah asî bu e khohna, a lahuen dawk awi hane, ka talue e khohna hah a lawp awh teh, a kârei awh mue toe telah ouk a khui.
31 So perish all Thine enemies, O LORD; but they that love Him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
Hot patetlah a tarannaw pueng teh, be rawk naseh. Hateiteh, BAWIPA ka lungpataw naw teh kanî a tâco e patetlah, a tho onae hah kho lah yansei seh, telah la a sak awh. Hahoi hote ram teh kum 40 touh a roum.
