Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying:
Jou sa a, Debora ak Barak, pitit gason Obinoram lan, pran chante chante sa a:
2 When men let grow their hair in Israel, when the people offer themselves willingly, bless ye the LORD.
-Lwanj pou Seyè a, lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo soti pou yo goumen, lè pèp la pote tèt li ak kè kontan pou fè lagè!
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.
Nou menm wa yo, koute sa m'ap di! Nou menm gwo chèf yo, louvri zòrèy nou! Mwen pral chante pou Seyè a! Mwen pral fè lwanj Sengè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la!
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.
Seyè! Lè ou te kite mòn Seyi yo, lè ou te soti nan zòn peyi Edon an, latè te pran tranble, lapli tonbe anpil sot nan syèl la. Wi, nwaj yo pran lage dlo.
5 The mountains quaked at the presence of the LORD, even yon Sinai at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Mòn yo pran tranble devan mèt mòn Sinayi a, devan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la!
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways ceased, and the travellers walked through byways.
Sou tan Chanmga, pitit gason Anat la, ak sou tan Jayèl, bann machann yo te sispann pwonmennen nan tout peyi a ak bèt yo. Vwayajè yo te blije pase nan lòt chemen.
7 The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, until that thou didst arise, Deborah, that thou didst arise a mother in Israel.
Lavil peyi Izrayèl yo pa t' gen moun ladan yo ankò pou pran defans yo. Yo te rete san moun pou defann yo, jouk jou mwen menm, Debora, mwen parèt tankou yon manman pou pèp Izrayèl la.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates; was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Lè sa a, te prèt pou gen lagè nan peyi a. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo tanmen sèvi lòt bondye. Lè sa a tou, te gen karantmil (40.000) gason nan pèp Izrayèl la. Men, pa t' gen yon plak pwotèj ak frenn pou yo sèvi.
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
Mwen kontan chèf k'ap kòmande pèp Izrayèl la! Mwen kontan moun ki te pote tèt yo pou y' al goumen! Lwanj pou Seyè a!
10 Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on rich cloths, and ye that walk by the way, tell of it;
Nou menm ki moute manman bourik blan yo, nou menm ki chita sou bèl tapi, nou menm k'ap mache apye sou gran chimen, kalkile sa byen!
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.
Koute vwa moun ki al bò sous dlo yo! Y'ap rakonte tout bèl bagay Seyè a te fè, bèl bagay li te fè pou pèp Izrayèl la. Lè sa a, pèp Seyè a te desann bò pòtay yo.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song; arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
Annavan! Debora! Annavan! Annou wè! Chante yon chante! Annavan! Annavan! Barak! pitit gason Abinoram lan! Mennen prizonye yo vini!
13 Then made He a remnant to have dominion over the nobles and the people; the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
Lè sa a, sa ki pa t' vire do bay Bondye yo desann vin jwenn chèf yo. Pèp Seyè a vin jwenn li, tou pare pou lagè.
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.
Yo soti nan mòn Efrayim yo desann nan fon an, dèyè moun Benjamen yo ak sòlda lame yo. Kòmandan lame yo desann soti Maki, jeneral yo soti nan peyi Zabilon.
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.
Chèf branch fanmi Isaka yo te la avèk Debora. Wi, moun Isaka yo vini, Barak te vini tou. Yo swiv li nan tout plenn lan. Men, moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo te divize. Yo pa t' ka deside pou yo vini.
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.
Poukisa yo rete dèyè avèk mouton yo? Pou yo te ka tande gadò yo ap rele bann mouton yo? Wi! Moun Woubenn yo te an balan. Yo pa t' ka deside si y'ap vini, si yo p'ap vini!
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.
Moun Galarad yo te rete rete yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden an. Moun Dann yo rete rete yo sou bato yo. Moun Asè yo rete rete yo bò lanmè a, yo rete sou tout rivaj yo.
18 Zebulun is a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, and Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.
Men, moun Zabilon yo ak moun Neftali yo al brave danje kote batay la ye a.
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.
Wa yo vini, yo kwaze fè bò Tanak, toupre sous dlo Megido a. Wa peyi Kanaran yo goumen, men yo pa jwenn anyen pou yo pote ale! Pa menm yon ti moso ajan!
20 They fought from heaven, the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Zetwal yo rete nan syèl la yo goumen. Yo rete kote y'ap mache nan syèl la, yo goumen ak Sisera.
21 The brook Kishon swept them away, that ancient brook, the brook Kishon. O my soul, tread them down with strength.
Dlo ravin Kichon an desann pote yo ale. Wi, se ansyen ravin lan, ravin Kichon an, ki fè sa. M'ap mache pran yo, je m' byen kale!
22 Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
Lè sa a, yo tande chwal yo ki t'ap galope ale. Chwal yo t'ap pilonnen tè a ak zago yo.
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.'
Zanj Seyè a di: Ann mande madichon pou lavil Mewòz! Madichon, madichon pou tout moun k'ap viv nan lavil la. Yo pa t' vin ede Seyè a, yo pa t' voye sòlda goumen pou li.
24 Blessed above women shall Jael be, the wife of Heber the Kenite, above women in the tent shall she be blessed.
Nan tout fanm ki sou latè, Jayèl se yon fanm Bondye beni anpil. Wi, Jayèl, madan Ebè, moun fanmi Kayen, nan tout fanm ki sou latè, se yon fanm Bondye beni anpil.
25 Water he asked, milk she gave him; in a lordly bowl she brought him curd.
Sisera mande l' dlo, li ba li lèt. Li ba l' yon krèm lèt nan pi bèl bòl li te genyen.
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.
Li pran yon pikèt tant nan men gòch li, yon mato travayè nan men dwat li. Li frape Sisera nan tèt ak mato a, li krabouye tèt li. Li pèse tanp li, li touye l'.
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.
Sisera tonbe sou jenou, li woule atè, epi li mouri nan pye Jayèl. Wi, nan pye madanm lan, li tonbe sou jenou li yo, li woule atè. Kote li kouche a, li mouri frèt.
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?
Manman Sisera ap gade nan fennèt la. L'ap gade dèyè jalouzi a, l'ap mande: -Kote cha pitit mwen an depi tout tan sa a? Poukisa chwal li yo pran tout reta sa a pou yo vini?
29 The wisest of her princesses answer her, yea, she returneth answer to herself:
Lè sa a, medam ki gen plis konprann nan sèvant li yo reponn li. Li menm tou, li t'ap repete nan kè l':
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?'
-Koulye a yo dwe ap separe sa yo pran nan men lènmi yo! Yon fi, de fi pou chak sòlda, bèl twal koulè byen bwode pou Sisera, yon gwo mouchwa bwode byen bèl pou l' mete nan kou l'.
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.
Wi, Seyè! Se konsa pou tout lènmi ou yo mouri. Men, zanmi ou yo ap klere tankou solèy midi. Apre sa, te gen lapè nan peyi a pandan karantan.
