Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah with Barak the son of Abino'am on that day, saying,
To na niah Deborah hoi Abinoam capa Barak mah hae laa hae a sak hoi.
2 When depravity had broken out in Israel, then did the people offer themselves willingly; [therefore] praise ye the Lord.
Israel siangpahrangnawk mah lu lak o moe, kaminawk mah angmacae koehah hmuenmae to paek o pongah, Angraeng to saphaw oh.
3 Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes; I—unto the Lord will I sing; I will sing praise to the Lord, the God of Israel.
Aw nangcae siangpahrangnawk, tahngai oh; Aw nangcae ukkung angraengnawk, naa patueng oh; Angraeng khaeah laa ka sak han; Israel Angraeng Sithaw khaeah, saphawhaih laa to ka sak han.
4 Lord, at thy going forth out of Seir, at thy marching along out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, also the heavens dropped, also the clouds dropped water.
Aw Angraeng, Seir mae hoi na caeh moe, Edom prae hoiah na caeh naah, long to anghuen moe, van hoiah kho angzoh; tamai thung hoiah khotui to krak.
5 The mountains melted away because of the presence of the Lord, yonder Sinai, because of the presence of the Lord, the God of Israel.
Angraeng hmaa ah mae to tui ah amkaw moe, Sinai mae doeh Israel Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah atui amzawt.
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of 'Anath, in the days of Ja'el, the highways were unoccupied, and those who travelled on roads walked through crooked by-paths.
Anath capa Shamgar dung hoi Jael dung ah, lampuinawk to angqai krang pongah, kholong caeh kaminawk mah lam tamcaek loklam to pazui o ving boeh.
7 Desolate were the open towns in Israel, they were desolate, until that I arose, Deborah, that I arose a mother in Israel.
Vangta thungah Israel kaminawk khosakhaih to boeng boeh; kai Deborah hae kangthawk moe, Israel ih amno ah kang thawk ai karoek to, Israel prae thungah khosah kami to kha.
8 They chose new gods, then was there war in the gates: was there a shield seen or a spear among forty thousand in Israel?
Israel kaminawk loe kangtha sithawnawk to qoih o; to naah nihcae ih vangpui khongkha thungah misanawk angzoh o; Israel kami sang quipalito mah angvaenghaih aphaw hoi tayae maeto doeh tawn o ai.
9 My heart [belongeth] to the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people: praise ye the Lord.
Israel siangpahrangnawk loe kaminawk hoi nawnto toksak hanah, angmacae koeh ah palung angpaek o pongah, Israel ukkungnawk khaeah poekhaih palungthin to ka suek; to pongah nangcae mah Angraeng to saphaw oh.
10 Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and ye who walk on the way, utter praise!
Nangcae laa hrang kanglung angthueng kaminawk, lokcaek kaminawk, loklam caeh kaminawk,
11 [Urged on] by the voice of those who divide [the flocks] between the watering wells, there shall they rehearse the benefits of the Lord, the benefits toward his open towns in Israel; [for] now go down [again] to the gates the people of the Lord.
Tuidokhaih ahmuen ah kalii sin kaminawk ih ban thung hoi nangcae pahlong kaminawk ih lok to na thaih o naah, laa to sah oh; nihcae loe Angraeng toenghaih to thuih o moe, Israel avangnawk thungah kaom kaminawk mah sak ih toenghaih kawng to a thuih o. To naah Angraeng ih kaminawk loe angmacae ohhaih ahmuen ah amlaem o tih.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah! awake, awake, utter a song! up, Barak, and lead away thy captives, son of Abino'am.
Angthawk ah, angthawk ah, Deborah; angthawk ah, angthawk loe, laa sah ah; angthawk ah, Aw Barak! Aw Abinoam caanawk, misatukhaih ahmuen ah naeh ih kaminawk to hoi ah.
13 Then obtained dominion a few that had escaped for the nobles among the people—the Lord gave me dominion over the mighty.
To naah kanghmat kaminawk loe kami ukkungnawk khaeah caeh o; Angraeng loe angzoh moe, thacak kaminawk ukhaih to ang paek.
14 They whose root is out of Ephraim were against 'Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, with thy armies; out of Machir came down lawgivers, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
Amalek kaminawk taengah kaom kaminawk loe, Ephraim prae thung hoiah tacawt o; Benjamin kaminawk loe nangcae hnukah bang o; misatuh ukkungnawk loe Makir ih acaeng thung hoiah angzoh o; Zebulun acaeng thung hoiah loe khokhan thaih kaminawk to angzoh o.
15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; yea Issachar, the support of Barak; into the valley he hastened down in his train; [but] at the streams of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
Issakar siangpahrang capanawk loe Deborah hoi nawnto oh o; Issakar acaeng loe Barak hoi doeh nawnto oh o; anih loe karangah azawn ah cawnh. Reuben ohhaih prae thungah loe khopoek thaih kaminawk to oh o.
16 Why didst thou sit among the sheepfolds to hear the bleatings of the flocks? At the streams of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
Tipongah tuu hanghaih lok thaih hanah, tuu khongkha thungah na oh loe? Reuben ohhaih prae thungah loe khopoek thaih kaminawk oh o.
17 Gil'ad abode beyond the Jordan; and Dan—why would he tarry in ships? Asher remained on the seashore, and abode near his bays.
Gilead loe Jordan vapui yaeh ah oh; tipongah Dan acaeng loe palongpuinawk ohhaih ahmuen taengah khosak o loe? Asher loe tuipui taengah oh moe, tuipui taeng ih azawn ah oh.
18 Zebulun is a people that jeoparded its life unto death, and Naphtali—on the high places of the [battle] field.
Zebulun kaminawk hoi Naphtali kaminawk loe misa angtukhaih maesang nuiah hinghaih paek han khoek to a koeh o.
19 There came kings, [and] fought, then fought the kings of Canaan, in Ta'anach by the waters of Megiddo: gain of money they took not away.
Siangpahrangnawk loe angzoh o moe, misa to tuk o; Kanaan ih siangpahrangnawk mah Meggido tui ohhaih taeng ih, Taanak vangpui to tuk o, toe aicae ih phoisa to la o thai ai.
20 From heaven they fought—the stars in their courses fought against Sissera.
Van bang hoiah nihcae tuk o; cakaehnawk loe angmacae amhaehaih loklam hoiah Sisera to tuk o.
21 The stream of Kishon swept them away, that ancient stream, the stream of Kishon: step along, O my soul, in victorious strength.
Kishon vapui, kangquem vapui, Kishon vapui mah nihcae to pazawk boih boeh; Aw ka hinghaih, thacak kaminawk to na tit boeh.
22 Then were crushed the hoofs of the horses, through the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
Hrang kangthueng kaminawk loe hrang hoi cawnh o ving pongah, hrang khokpadae to koih pae, thacak hrang khokpadae to akah pae rak.
23 Curse ye Meroz, saith the messenger of the Lord, yea, curse ye bitterly its inhabitants; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among the mighty.
Nihcae loe Angraeng abomh hanah angzo o ai moe, thacak kaminawk tuk hanah Angraeng khaeah angzo o ai pongah, Meroz vangpui to tangoeng thui ah, tiah Angraeng ih van kami mah thuih.
24 Blessed above [other] women shall be Ja'el the wife of Cheber the Kenite, above [other] women [dwelling] in the tent may she be blessed.
Ken acaeng, Heber ih zu, Jael loe tahamhoih koek nongpata ah oh; kahni imthung ah kaom nongpatanawk thungah tahamhoih koek nongpata ah oh.
25 Water he asked, milk she gave [him]: in a lordly dish she brought him cream.
Anih mah nongpata khaeah tui hnik naah, maitaw tahnutui to a paek moe, angraeng mah caak ih maitaw tahnutui kamkhawk to a paek.
26 Her hand she put forth to the nail, and her right hand to the laborious workmen's hammer; and she hammered Sissera, she struck his head, and crushed and smote through his temple.
Nongpata mah sumdik to lak moe, a bantang ban ah cakii to sinh pacoengah, cakii hoiah Sisera to boh mat; a lu ah boh pae hup moe, sumdik hoiah a naalaking to takhing pae puet.
27 Between her feet he bent, he fell, he lay; between her feet he bent, he fell: where he had bent, there he fell down, bereft of life.
Anih loe Jael khokkung ah angsong, to ah amtimh moe, duek sut. Anih khokkung ah angsongh sut, to ah amtimh moe, amtimhaih ahmuen ah a duek.
28 Out of the window looked and moaned the mother of Sissera, through the lattice, Why tarrieth his chariot so long in coming? why lag the wheels of his chariot?
Sisera amno loe thokbuem hoiah khet, thokbuem taengah anghnut moe, tipongah maw anih ih hrang lakok loe angzo palang ai? Tipongah maw anih ih hrang lakok loe akra parai? tiah a qah.
29 The wise among her ladies answered her, she also returned a reply to herself.
Nongpatanawk thung ih palungha koek kami mah, anih han pathim pae ih lok loe,
30 Will they not find, —divide booty? one maiden, two maidens for every man, a booty of colored garments for Sissera, a booty of colored embroidered garments, colored, double-worked garments round the necks of the captives!
Sisera hoi anih ih kaminawk loe nongpa maeto mah nongpata maeto han ih, to tih ai boeh loe hnetto han ih paek hanah, hmuenmae pakrong o moe, amzet o kalang mue, kahoih koek rong congca khukbuennawk, a-aem kaom kahoih rong congca khukbuennawk, misa pazawk kaminawk mah tahnong ah zaeng hanah angan kahoih kahninawk a lak o pongah mue, hae tiah akra o? tiah a naa.
31 Thus may perish all thy enemies, O Lord; but may those that love him be as the rising of the sun in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
To pongah Aw Angraeng, na misanawk boih loe anghmaa angtaa o nasoe! Toe nang palung kaminawk loe, ni tacawt tahang nathuem ih thacakhaih baktih toengah om o nasoe, tiah a thuih. To pacoengah prae thungah saning quipalito thung monghaih to oh.
