Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying:
Na mokolo wana, Debora mpe Baraki, mwana mobali ya Abinoami, bayembaki nzembo oyo:
2 When men let grow their hair in Israel, when the people offer themselves willingly, bless ye the LORD.
Lokola na Isalaele, bakonzi batambolaki liboso, mpe bato bamipesaki mobimba na bitumba, tika ete bokumisa Yawe!
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.
Bino bakonzi, boyoka! Bino bakambi, boyoka malamu! Nalingi koyembela Yawe, nalingi koyemba nzembo mpo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
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.
Eh Yawe, tango obimaki na Seiri, tango ozalaki kotambola wuta na mokili ya Edomi, mabele eninganaki, likolo enyangwanaki, mapata esopaki mayi.
5 The mountains quaked at the presence of the LORD, even yon Sinai at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Bangomba eninganaki liboso ya Yawe, mpe ngomba Sinai, liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways ceased, and the travellers walked through byways.
Na mikolo ya Shamagari, mwana mobali ya Anati; mpe na mikolo ya Yaeli, nzela etikalaki lisusu na bato te, bato ya mobembo batambolaki na nzela ya nyoka-nyoka.
7 The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, until that thou didst arise, Deborah, that thou didst arise a mother in Israel.
Bamboka nyonso ya mike-mike ya Isalaele etikalaki lisusu na bato te, ezalaki lisusu na bato te kino ngai Debora natelemaki, kino natelemaki lokola mama kati na Isalaele.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates; was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Tango baponaki banzambe ya sika, bitumba mpe ekomaki na bikuke ya engumba, kasi ata nguba moko te to likonga moko te emonanaki kati na basoda nkoto tuku minei kati na Isalaele.
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
Motema na ngai ezali elongo na bakambi ya Isalaele, elongo na ba-oyo bamipesaki mobimba na bitumba. Bokumisa Yawe!
10 Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on rich cloths, and ye that walk by the way, tell of it;
Bino oyo bozali kotambola likolo ya ba-ane ya pembe, bino oyo bozali kovanda likolo ya batapi, bino oyo bozali kotambola na nzela, bokanisa!
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.
Bokumisa mingongo ya bayembi, na bisika oyo batokaka mayi, pene ya bitima ya mayi; kuna, mingongo ya bakaboli mayi ezali kosanzola misala ya bosembo ya Yawe, misala na Ye ya bosembo na bamboka mike nyonso ya Isalaele. Bato ya Yawe bakiti kino na bikuke ya engumba.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song; arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
Debora, lamuka! Lamuka! Lamuka, lamuka, yemba nzembo ya bitumba! Eh Baraki, telema, zongisa bakangami na yo; mwana mobali ya Abinoami!
13 Then made He a remnant to have dominion over the nobles and the people; the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
Ndambo ya batikali bakiti epai ya balongi, bato ya Yawe bakiti mpo na ngai kati na bilombe ya bitumba.
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.
Bato ya Amaleki bawutaki na Efrayimi. Sima na yo, Benjame akitaki elongo na mampinga. Bakonzi ya mampinga babimelaki na Makiri, mpe bato oyo basimbaka lingenda ya bokonzi babimelaki na Zabuloni.
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.
Bakambi ya Isakari bazalaki elongo na Debora; ndenge moko lokola Baraki, Isakari alandaki ye mbangu na makolo kino na lubwaku. Kasi kati na libota ya Ribeni, mitema etondaki mingi na makanisi.
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.
Mpo na nini avandi kati na lopango? Ezali mpo na kaka koyoka kolela ya bibwele? Kati na libota ya Ribeni, bazali bobele kolekisa tango pamba na kokanisa.
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.
Galadi atikali na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani. Mpo na nini Dani azali kowumela kati na masuwa? Aseri atikali pembeni ya ebale, avandi pembeni ya libongo na ye.
18 Zebulun is a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, and Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.
Bato ya Zabuloni bateki milimo na bango na kufa, bato ya Nefitali, na basonge ya bangomba, kuna na esika ya bitumba.
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.
Bakonzi oyo bazali banguna bayaki mpe babundisaki biso; bakonzi ya Kanana babundisaki biso na mboka Taanaki, pene ya mayi ya Megido, kasi bamemaki te bomengo ya bitumba, ata palata.
20 They fought from heaven, the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Wuta na likolo, minzoto ebundaki; na nzela na yango oyo etambolaka, minzoto ebundisaki Sisera.
21 The brook Kishon swept them away, that ancient brook, the brook Kishon. O my soul, tread them down with strength.
Mayi moke ya Kishoni ememaki bango, mayi moke ya tango ya kala, mayi moke ya Kishoni. Tika ete molimo na ngai etambola na nguya!
22 Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
Makolo ya bampunda enyataki mabele, na kopumbwa na mbangu makasi, na kolanda bankolo na yango, bato na nguya.
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.'
Bolakela mboka ya Merozi mabe, elobi anjelu ya Yawe. Bolakela, bolakela mabe bato oyo bavandi kuna! Pamba te bayei te kosunga Yawe; bayei te kosunga bilombe ya bitumba!
24 Blessed above women shall Jael be, the wife of Heber the Kenite, above women in the tent shall she be blessed.
Tika ete Yaeli, mwasi ya Eberi, moto ya Keni, apambolama kati na basi nyonso! Tika ete apambolama kati na basi nyonso oyo bazali kovanda na se ya ndako ya kapo.
25 Water he asked, milk she gave him; in a lordly bowl she brought him curd.
Sisera asengaki mayi, kasi ye apesaki miliki; kati na kopo ya bato ya lokumu, apesaki ye miliki ya kilo.
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.
Na loboko na ye ya mwasi, azwaki pike ya nzete; mpe na loboko na ye ya mobali, marto ya basali. Abetaki Sisera mpe apanzaki ye moto, atobolaki ye litoyi mpe apanzaki yango nyonso.
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 akweyaki na makolo na ye, alembaki; akweyaki na makolo na ye mpe akufaki.
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?
Mama ya Sisera abandaki kotala na lininisa, na sima ya bibende, mpe abandaki koganga: « Mpo na nini shar na ye ezali kowumela boye? Mpo na nini bashar na ye ezali koya malembe? »
29 The wisest of her princesses answer her, yea, she returneth answer to herself:
Moko kati na basi ya mayele mpe ya lokumu ayanoli ye, mpe ye moko amilobeli:
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?'
« Ezali te mpo bazwi mpe bakaboli bomengo ya bitumba: Elenge mwasi moko to bilenge basi mibale mpo na soda moko, bilamba ya langi mpo na Sisera, bilamba, bilamba ya langi, mpe bilamba oyo batia bililingi, mpo na balongi? »
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.
Yawe, tika ete banguna na Yo nyonso bakufa bongo! Tika ete bato oyo balingaka Yo bangenga makasi lokola moyi ya midi! Mokili ezalaki na kimia mibu tuku minei.
