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 Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
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, even I, will sing unto the Lord; I will sing praise to the Lord 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 wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also 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 melted from before the Lord, even that Sinai from before the Lord 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 were unoccupied, 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 inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose 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 Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
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 They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the Lord, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the Lord go 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 he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among 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 was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
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; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts 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 abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For 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 Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
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 and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in 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 and 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 river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down 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 were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings 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 the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
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 He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
Sisera asengaki mayi, kasi ye apesaki miliki; kati na kopo ya bato ya lokumu, apesaki ye miliki ya kilo.
26 She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken 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 bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
Sisera akweyaki na makolo na ye, alembaki; akweyaki na makolo na ye mpe akufaki.
28 The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried 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 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
Moko kati na basi ya mayele mpe ya lokumu ayanoli ye, mpe ye moko amilobeli:
30 Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?
« 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 let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but let them 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.
