Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying:
Gaafas Debooraa fi Baaraaqi ilmi Abiinooʼam akkana jedhanii faarfatan:
2 When men let grow their hair in Israel, when the people offer themselves willingly, bless ye the LORD.
“Yommuu ilmaan moototaa Israaʼelin hoogganan, yommuu sabni Israaʼelis jaallatee of kennutti Waaqayyoon galateeffadhaa!
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.
“Yaa mootota, waan kana dhagaʼaa! Bulchitoonnis dhaggeeffadhaa! Waaqayyoon nan faarfadha; amma illee nan faarfadha; Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliif nan weeddisa.
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.
“Yaa Waaqayyo, yeroo ati biyya Seeʼiirii baate, yeroo ati biyya Edoomii kaate, lafti ni sochoote; samiiwwanis bokkaa, duumessoonnis bishaan gad roobsan.
5 The mountains quaked at the presence of the LORD, even yon Sinai at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Tulluuwwan fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa Siinaa duratti, fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel duratti ni raafaman.
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways ceased, and the travellers walked through byways.
“Bara Ilma Anaat, jabana Shamgaar, bara Yaaʼeel keessa daandiiwwan ni onan; karaa deemtonnis daandii jajalʼaa irra deeman.
7 The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, until that thou didst arise, Deborah, that thou didst arise a mother in Israel.
Hamma ani Debooraan, haadha taʼee Israaʼeliif kaʼutti, gandoonni Israaʼel duwwaa hafu.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates; was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Yommuu isaan waaqota haaraa filatanitti, waraanni hamma karra magaalaatti dhufe; gaachanni yookaan eeboon tokko, Israaʼeloota kuma afurtama gidduutti hin argamne.
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
Garaan koo bulchitoota Israaʼel kanneen fedhiidhaan saba gidduutti argaman wajjin jira. Waaqayyoon leellisaa!
10 Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on rich cloths, and ye that walk by the way, tell of it;
“Isin warri harroota adaadii yaabbatan, warri kooraa baladii qabu irra teessan, warri karaa irra deemtan hubadhaa;
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.
sagalee faarfattootaa dhagaʼaa. Isaan hojii qajeelummaa Waaqayyoo, hojii qajeelummaa loltoonni isaa Israaʼel keessatti godhan odeessu. “Ergasii saboonni Waaqayyoo, gara karra magaalattiitti gad buʼan.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song; arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
‘Yaa Debooraa! Dammaqi; dammaqi; dammaqi; dammaqi; faarfannaas faarfadhu! Yaa Baaraaqi! Dammaqi; yaa ilma Abiinooʼam boojiʼamtoota kee boojiʼii fudhadhu.’
13 Then made He a remnant to have dominion over the nobles and the people; the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
“Namoonni hafanis, gara warra gurguddaatti gad buʼan; sabni Waaqayyoos, akka loltuu jabaatti gara koo dhufe.
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.
Warri hiddi isaanii Amaaleq keessa jiru tokko tokkos Efreem dhufan; Beniyaamis namoota si duukaa buʼan wajjin ture. Ajajjoonni loltoota Maakiir, warri bokkuu ajajjuu qabatanis Zebuuloonii gad buʼan.
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.
Hangafoonni Yisaakor Debooraa wajjin turan; Yisaakoris Baaraaqi wajjin ture; innis Baaraaqi wajjin gara sululaatti gad buʼe. Gosa Ruubeen gidduu, qorannoo yaadaa guddaatu ture.
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.
Ati maaliif marʼachuu isaanii dhagaʼuuf jettee gola bushaayee keessa turte? Gosa Ruubeen gidduu, qorannoo yaadaa guddaa isaatu ture.
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.
Giliʼaad Yordaanos gama taaʼe; Daan maaliif dooniiwwan keessatti hafe? Aasheer qarqara galaanaatti hafe; buufata isaa keessas ture.
18 Zebulun is a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, and Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.
Sabni Zebuuloon duʼaaf of saaxile; Niftaalemis gaarran biyya isaa irratti akkasuma godhe.
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.
“Mootonni dhufanii lolan; mootonni Kanaʼaanis Taʼanaakitti bishaanota Megidoo biratti lolan; boojuu meetii tokko illee hin fudhanne.
20 They fought from heaven, the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Samii keessaa urjiiwwan ni lolan; adeemsa isaanii irrattis Siisaaraadhaan lolan.
21 The brook Kishon swept them away, that ancient brook, the brook Kishon. O my soul, tread them down with strength.
Lagni durii, lagni Qiishoon, lagni Qiishoon sun haxaaʼee isaan fudhate. Yaa lubbuu ko, jabaadhuu fuul duratti deemi!
22 Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
Kotteen fardeenii guddisee didiche; ni gulufan; jabeessaniis gulufan.
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.'
Ergamaan Waaqayyoos, ‘Meerozin abaaraa. Saba ishees jabeessaatii abaaraa; akka Waaqayyo warra jajjabootti kaʼu gargaaruudhaaf, isaan Waaqayyoon gargaaruudhaaf hin dhufneetii’ jedhe.
24 Blessed above women shall Jael be, the wife of Heber the Kenite, above women in the tent shall she be blessed.
“Yaaʼeel niitiin Hebeer Qeenichaa sun dubartoota hunda keessaa haa eebbifamtu; isheen dubartoota dunkaana keessa jiraatan hunda keessaa haa eebbifamtu.
25 Water he asked, milk she gave him; in a lordly bowl she brought him curd.
Inni bishaan kadhate; isheen immoo aannan kenniteef; qabee ulfinaatti itittuu dhiʼeessiteef.
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.
Harka ishee gara qofoo dunkaanaatti hiixatte; harka ishee mirgaatiin burruusa fudhatte; isheenis Siisaaraa dhooftee mataa isaa buruqsite; waraantees illee isaa keessa fullaafte.
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.
Innis miilla ishee jalatti gombifame; kufee diriires. Miilla ishee jalatti gombifame; ni kufe; iddoo gombifamettis kufee duʼe.
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?

29 The wisest of her princesses answer her, yea, she returneth answer to herself:
Dubartoota ishee keessaa isheen ogeettiin deebii kenniteef; taʼus isheen ofuma isheetiin deebiftee,
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?'
‘Isaan boojuu argatanii addaan qoodachuutti jiru mitii? Tokkoon tokkoon namaa dubartii tokko tokko yookaan lama lama argata mitii? Siisaaraadhaaf uffanni boojuu kan halluudhaan faayeffame, uffanni halluudhaan miidhagfamee hodhame, morma kootiif immoo uffata akka malee miidhagfamee hodhame qoodu mitii? Kun hundi boojuu dha.’
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.
“Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo, diinonni kee hundi haa barbadaaʼani! Warri si jaallatan garuu akka biiftuu, ishee humna guutuun baatu sanaa haa taʼan.” Ergasii biyyattiin waggaa afurtama nagaa argatte.
