7 The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother in Israel.
Naʻe ngaongao ʻae ngaahi potu kakai, naʻa nau ʻosiʻosi ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻo aʻu ki heʻeku tuʻu hake au ko Tepola, pea u tuʻu hake ko e faʻē ʻi ʻIsileli.
8 They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Naʻa nau fili ʻae ngaahi ʻotua foʻou, pea naʻe toki hoko ʻa ʻetau ʻi he ngaahi matapā: he naʻe hā mai ha fakaū pe ha foʻi tao ʻe taha ʻi he toko fā mano ʻi ʻIsileli?
9 My heart is toward the leaders of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless YHWH.
ʻOku hanga atu hoku loto ki he kau pule ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe ʻatu fiemālie pe ʻakinautolu kia Sihova fakataha mo e kakai. Mou fakafetaʻi kia Sihova.

11 Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they will rehearse the righteous acts of YHWH, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. "Then the people of YHWH went down to the gates.
ʻI he tuku ʻae longoaʻa ʻoe kau tangata fana ʻi he ngaahi potu ʻoe fusi hake ʻoe ʻutu vai, tenau fakahā ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi ngāue māʻoniʻoni ʻa Sihova, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi ngāue māʻoniʻoni ki hono ngaahi potu kakai ʻi ʻIsileli: pea ʻe toki ʻalu hifo ʻae kakai ʻa Sihova ki he ngaahi matapā.
12 'Awake, awake, Deborah. Awaken the multitudes of a nation. Awake, awake, sing a song. Be strong. Arise, Barak. And Deborah, strengthen Barak. And lead away your captives, son of Abinoam.'
Ke ke ʻā hake, ʻā hake, ʻe Tepola: ʻā hake, ʻā hake, fai ʻae hiva: tuʻu hake, ʻe Pelaki, pea tataki fakapōpula ʻa hoʻo pōpula, ʻa koe ko e foha ʻo ʻApinoami.
13 "Then a remnant of the nobles came down. The people of YHWH marched down to me against the mighty.

14 From Ephraim those who uprooted Amalek came out, following you, Benjamin, among your peoples; out of Makir leaders came down, and out of Zebulun those that handle the staff of office.

Naʻe ʻauhia ʻakinautolu ke mole ʻi he vaitafe ko Kisone, ʻae vaitafe muʻa ko ia, ʻae vaitafe ko Kisone. ʻE hoku laumālie, kuo ke malakaki hifo ʻae mālohi.
22 Then the horse hoofs pounded because of the galloping, the galloping of their steeds.
