Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
Te vaeng khohnin ah Deborah neh Abinoam capa Barak loh a hlai rhoi tih,
2 Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
Pilnam loh a puhlu vaengah, Israel khuiah tawnlo rhoek khaw lim hamla, BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai saeh!
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.
Manghai rhoek loh ya nawn saeh, boeica rhoek loh hnatun saeh, BOEIPA te ka hlai vetih, Israel Pathen BOEIPA te ka tingtoeng ni.
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.
“BOEIPA, Seir lamkah na lo tih, Edom khohmuen lamkah na luei vaengah, diklai hinghuen tih vaan rhoek khaw cip, khomai khaw tui la pha.
5 The mountains melted from before the LORD, [even] that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.
“Sinai kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah, Israel Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah tlang rhoek khaw moelh uh.
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.
“Anath capa Shamgar tue vaengah, Jael tue vaengah, caehlong mueng tih a hawn kah aka cet khaw caehlong a kael te a paan uh.
7 [The inhabitants of] the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
Israel ah khosakung a tal he, Deborah a thoh duela tal uh coeng tih, Israel khuikah manu la ka phoe coeng.
8 They chose new gods; then [was] war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Pathen thai rhoek a tuek uh vaengah vongka ah rhal khaw om dae, Israel thawng sawmli kah photling neh, cai ke hmu pawh.
9 My heart [is] toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
Ka lungbuei loh, Israel aka taem taeng neh pilnam taengah aka puhlu rhoek, BOEIPA tah a yoethen pai saeh.
10 Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
Laak bok dongah aka ngol rhoek, himbaidok dongah aka ngol tih, longpuei kah aka cet rhoek loh lolmang saeh.
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.
Sihthang ah aka phayang rhoek kah ol long tah, BOEIPA kah duengnah neh a khosakung rhoek kah duengnah te Israel lakliah a thoelh uh tih BOEIPA pilnam kah vongka la suntla uh.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
Haenghang laeh, haenghang laeh, Deborah, haenghang laeh, haenghang laeh laa thoh laeh. Thoo laeh, Barak na tamna Abinoam capa te sol laeh.
13 Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
Rhaengnaeng loh, BOEIPA kah pilnam aka khuet rhoek taengla a suntlak vaengah kai taengah khaw hlangrhalh rhoek neh ha suntla.
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.
Amih yung te Ephraim lamloh Amalek khui la, namah hnukkah Benjamin neh Makir lamkah na pilnam long khaw, lairhoe mancai aka thueng, Zebulun khui lamkah aka taem la ha suntla.
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.
Ka mangpa rhoek khaw Issakhar neh Deborah khuiah, Barak khaw Issakhar bangla a kho neh tuikol la a paan tih, Reuben kho-rha ah lungbuei khenah la yet.
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.
Balae tih saelvong laklo ah na ngol, lungbuei khenah aka yet he, Reuben khorha ah tuping kah a rhungnah aka ya la.
17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

18 Zebulun and Naphtali [were] a people [that] jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.

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.
Vathoh manghai rhoek ha pawk uh tih, Kanaan manghai rhoek te Meggido tui kah, Taanakh ah a tloek vaengah, mueluemnah neh cak pakhat pataeng lo uh pawh.
20 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Vaan lamkah aisi rhoek lo a vathoh puei dongah, amih loh Sisera te longpuei lamkah a vathoh thil uh.
21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.

22 Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.
Te vaengah marhang aka lueng loh, rhetlonah a pet te a khomae a phop uh.
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.
Meroz te thaephoei thil. BOEIPA kah puencawn loh, “BOEIPA kah bomnah, BOEIPA kah bomnah loh, hlangrhalh rhoek te a paan pawt dongah, a khuikah khosa rhoek te thaephoei thil saeh,” a ti.
24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
Keni Heber yuu Jael, huta rhoek khuiah na yoethen. Dap khuikah huta rhoek lakah khaw na yoethen.
25 He asked water, [and] she gave [him] milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
Tui a hoe vaengah, suktui a paek tih, aka khuet baeldung dongah, suknaeng a khuen pah.
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.
Hlingcong te a kut neh a thueng tih a bantang lamloh thakthaekung kah thilung neh, Sisera te a hen. Te dongah a lu te pop. Te vaengah a phop tih a baengpae la pawlh.
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.
A kho ah a sop uh doela cungku tih yalh. A kho laklo ah sop uh tih, a yalh vaengah a sop nah hmuen ah, cungku tih pahoi rhoelrhak sut.
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?
Bangbuet long a dan vaengah thohhuel ah Sisera manu te rhap, “Ba aih lae anih kah leng tah ha pawk ham a uelh? Ba aih lae anih kah leng tah khokan a hnong.
29 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
A boeinu hlangcueih rhoek te a doo tih, a ol pataeng a thuung pah.
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?
Hula te kutbuem la a tael uh khaw hmu uh pawt nim? tongpa a lu ham tah hula a bok la, Sisera ham amah kutbuem la, himbaitnim, amhmo rhaekva, amhmo kutbuem, kutbuem rhawn kah rhaekva khaw om.
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.
Na thunkha rhoek loh boeih milh saeh BOEIPA. Tedae a thayung thamal neh khomik aka thoeng bangla a lungnah. Te dongah khohmuen loh kum sawmli khuiah mong.
