Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying:
Alò, Débora avèk Barak, fis a Abinoam nan te chante jou sa a. Yo te di:
2 When men let grow their hair in Israel, when the people offer themselves willingly, bless ye the LORD.
“Akoz chèf yo te dirije Israël, akoz pèp la te pran desizyon, beni SENYÈ a!
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.
“Tande O wa yo! Bay zòrèy nou, O gran chèf yo! Pou mwen—-Se a SENYÈ a menm ke mwen chante. Mwen va chante bay lwanj a SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël 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.
“SENYÈ a, lè Ou te sòti Séir, lè Ou te mache soti nan chan Édom an, tè a te tranble e syèl la te fonn, menm nwaj yo te degoute 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 te souke devan prezans SENYÈ a, Sinai sila a, devan prezans SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël 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.
“Nan jou a Schamgar a, fis a Anath la, nan jou a Jaël yo, gran chemen yo te abandone, e vwayajè yo te pase pa lòt ti chemen.
7 The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, until that thou didst arise, Deborah, that thou didst arise a mother in Israel.
Aktivite abitan yo te sispann. Yo te sispann an Israël, jiskaske mwen menm, Débora, te vin leve. Jiskaske m te leve, yon manman an Israël.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates; was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Yo te pito dye nèf yo. Konsa, lagè te vin rive nan pòtay yo. Èske gen lans, èske gen nepe, pami karant-mil lòm an Israël yo?
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
Kè m apiye vè chèf Israël yo, mesye ki parèt ak bon volonte pami pèp la. Beni SENYÈ a!
10 Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on rich cloths, and ye that walk by the way, tell of it;
“Pale, Nou menm ki monte bourik blan yo, nou menm ki chita sou tapi chè yo, ak nou menm ki vwayaje sou wout la.
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.
Lwen bwi achè yo, nan kote y ap rale dlo, la yo va rakonte zèv ladwati a SENYÈ a, zèv ladwati pou moun li yo an Israël. “Epi pèp SENYÈ a te desann nan pòtay yo.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song; arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
‘Leve, leve, Débora! Leve, leve, chante yon chan! Leve, Barak, e mennen kaptif ou yo, O fis Abinoam nan.’
13 Then made He a remnant to have dominion over the nobles and the people; the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
“Retay prens yo ak chèf yo te desann. SENYÈ a te desann pou mwen kont pwisant yo.
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.
Sila yo rasinen nan Amalek te soti nan Epharïm. Yo t ap swiv ou, Benjamin, avèk pèp ou a. Soti nan Makir, kòmandan yo te desann. E soti nan Zabulon, sila ki voye baton pouvwa yo.
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.
Prens Issacar yo te avèk Débora. Tankou Issacar, konsa Barak. Nan vale a, yo te plonje dèyè talon li. Akote kous dlo Ruben yo, yo te pran desizyon.
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 nou chita pami pak mouton yo pou tande kri a bann mouton yo? Akote kous dlo Ruben yo, te gen kè ki manke pran desizyon.
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.
Galaad te rete lòtbò Jourdain an. Poukisa Dan te rete nan bato yo? Ak Aser ki chita bòdmè a akote ti flèv yo?
18 Zebulun is a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, and Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.
Men Zabulon, yon pèp ki pa t konsidere lavi yo jiska devan lanmò; ak Nephtali tou, nan lye wo sou chan an.
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 te parèt. Yo te goumen; wa Kananeyen yo te goumen kote Thaanac, toupre dlo a Méguiddo yo. Yo pa t pran piyaj an ajan.
20 They fought from heaven, the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Zetwal yo te goumen soti nan syèl la, soti nan kous yo, yo te goumen kont Sisera.
21 The brook Kishon swept them away, that ancient brook, the brook Kishon. O my soul, tread them down with strength.
Dlo ravin, larivyè Kishon te pran yo ale, ansyen dlo ravin nan, dlo ravin Kishon an. O nanm mwen mache avanse ak fòs.
22 Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
Epi zago cheval yo te bat akoz kous la; kous a tout gwo zago pwisan sa 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.'
‘Modi Méroz di zanj SENYÈ a! Modi pèp ki rete la a nèt, akoz yo pa t vini ede SENYÈ a kont pwisant yo.’
24 Blessed above women shall Jael be, the wife of Heber the Kenite, above women in the tent shall she be blessed.
“Beni pase tout fanm yo se Jaël, madanm Héber a, Kenyen an. Se pi beni li ye pase tout fanm nan tant lan.
25 Water he asked, milk she gave him; in a lordly bowl she brought him curd.
Li te mande dlo; li te ba li lèt. Nan yon veso byen bèl, li te pote ba li bòl lèt yo.
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 te lonje men li pou pran pikèt la, men dwat la pou mato ouvriye a. Konsa, li te frape Sisera. Li te kraze tèt li. Wi, li te kraze fwontèn tèt li a.
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.
Antre janm li yo, li te tonbe. La, li kouche. Kote gason an te bese a, la, li te tonbe mò.
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?
“Deyò fenèt la, fi a te gade byen twouble: Manman Sisera te gade anndan treyi a. ‘Poukisa cha l a fè reta konsa? Poukisa nou poko tande bwi la a pye cheval cha li yo, k ap frape tè a pou l rive?’
29 The wisest of her princesses answer her, yea, she returneth answer to herself:
Demwazèl saj li yo tap reponn li; Anverite, li menm te repete pawòl yo nan pwòp tèt li
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?'
‘Èske se pa ke yo te jwenn, ke y ap divize piyaj la? Yon demwazèl, menm de demwazèl pou chak gèrye; pou Sisera, yon piyaj bèl twal fonse, piyaj a yon twal anbeli trese byen fen; yon mendèv très doub sou kou a piyajè a?’
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.
“Se konsa pou kite tout lènmi Ou yo peri, O SENYÈ, men ke sila ki renmen Li yo vin tankou solèy k ap leve ak tout fòs li.” Konsa, peyi a te rete san boulvèsman pandan karant ane.
