Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
Hiche nichun Deborah leh Abinoam chapa Barak hin vahchoila hi ana sa lhon in ahi.
2 For that the leaders took the lead in Israel, for that the people offered themselves willingly, bless ye the LORD.
“Israel lamkai hon alamkaiyun chule mipin kipah tah in anung’u ajuiyun, Pakai chu thangvah in umhen!
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, the God of Israel.
“Leng teho ngaitem un! Nangho vaihom mithupiho phaten ngaitem uvin! Keiman Pakai thangvahna la kasah ding, Pakai Israel Pathen koma tumging tumpum’a keiman la kasah ding ahi.
4 LORD, when thou wentest forth out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, yea, the clouds dropped water.
“Pakai nangma Sier muna kon nahung kipatdoh a Edom phai nahin lonkhup chun, leiset pumpi akithing jeng in, chule vanlai jola meilhang jeng jong ajunlhan, gotwi juh’in ahung julha jeng in ahi.
5 The mountains flowed down at the presence of the LORD, even yon Sinai at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Pakai Sinai mol Pathen chu nahung kilandoh phat in, mol hochu Israel Pakai, Pathen masang ah apohkeh jeng in ahi.
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 chapa Shamgar nikholai leh Jael nikho laijin mipiten lamlen jeng jong apelun, kholjin ho jeng in jong lampellang ajotjji tauve.
7 The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
Israel te minu banga Deborah ahung kipat tokah chun Israel thinglhang khoho’a mihem themkhat bou ana kidalha tan ahi.
8 They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Israel ten pathen thah thahho ahin kilhen phat nun khopi kelkot phungho’a gal ahung pohjal jengin ahi. Ahinlah Israel galmi sang-somli ho lah a chun tengchale lum hin kipatna akimudoh pon ahi.
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people: bless ye the LORD.
Kalungthim pumpihi Israel gal lamkai galsat dinga hung kipedoh hochung achengin ahi. Pakai chu thangvah in umhen!
10 Tell [of it], ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on rich carpets, and ye that walk by the way.
“Nangho sangan hoitah tah chunga kampol pon hoitah tah toupha-a lhaiho leh lamlen dunga vahlehon ngaito uvin!
11 Far 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 of his rule in Israel. Then the people of the LORD went down to the gates.
Thinglhang’a la a sathem tahtah ho tuilonlhah na vadung panghoa akikhom’un Pakai chonphatna galjona loupitah tah asamphong uve. Hiche jouchun Pakai mipiten khopi kelkotphung lang jonnin ahung konsuh tauve.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
“Thouvin Deborah thouvin! Thouvin, thouvin la saovin! Thovin Barak! Abinoam chapa nagal hing mat ho hinkaijin!
13 Then came down a remnant of the nobles [and] the people; the LORD came down for me against the mighty.
Tabor molla kon in milen milal ho nokhum dingin mi themchabou ahung kijot suh un ahi. Pakai mipite chu gal-hat tah tah ho nokhum dingin ahung kijot suh un ahi.
14 Out of Ephraim [came down] 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.
Amalek mite’a konna kilah peh Ephraim ma kon in ahung suh un Benjamin nangma le nasepaite nahin juijuve. Makir a kon in gallamkai ho ahungsuh uva Zebullun na kon in gallam kaiho manchahchoi ho ahungun ahi.
15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; as was Issachar, so was Barak; into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben there were great resolves of heart.
Issachar-a leng chapate chu Deborah leh Barak lam’ah apangun ahi. Amahon Barak ahinjui un phaicham langa ahung lhailut un ahi. Ahinla Reuben phungsung’a vang lungkhat ahitheipouve.
16 Why satest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the pipings for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
Ibola nangho kelngoi hon holah a nomsatah a natouthim uva kelngoi chingho saisip sapchu namoh ngai ngai uham? Ahinla Reuben phung sunga vang kilungkhatna aneithei pouve.
17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and abode by his creeks.
Gilead vang Jordan solamma aumden tan chule Dan chu ipi dinga inmunna umnalai ham? Asher vang twikhanglen panga kongkai munna achengden tan ahi.
18 Zebulun was a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, and Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.
Ahinlah Zebulun vang Naphtali teho bolbang’in galkisat khoh laitah a chun ahinkhou phal ngam’in pan alauvin ahi.
19 The kings came and fought; then fought the kings of Canaan; in Taanach by the waters of Meggido: they took no gain of money.
Canaan lengte ahungun Megiddo twinah phung komma chun Taanach munnah gal asatnin imacha alemlo pon ahi.
20 They fought from heaven, the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Chunga ahsiten vanna kon in gal asatnin, ahsiten akikhai khumnao munna kon in Sisera dounan gal ahin sat’un ahi.
21 The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, march on with strength.
Kishon vadungin alhohmang gamtaove. Kishon kiti golluilaija tuihattah chutoh kalhagao hangsantah in kijotkhom lhontan.
22 Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the pransings, the pransings of their strong ones.
Hiche jouchun sakol kengin leiset achon in, Sesira sakol thupitah chu akinunkho jing jengin ahi.
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 mite chu sapsetna changhen,’ tin Pakai Vantil ten aseije nasatah in sapsetna changuhen tin asam’un ahi, ajeh chu amaho galsat hattah hotoh kisatto dingin Pakai langa pang dinga ahung pouvin ahi.
24 Blessed above women shall Jael be, the wife of Heber the Kenite, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
Numei lah a phatthei chang chungnung Ken mi Kaber jinu Jael ahi, amanu hi numei ponbuh sung’a chengho jouse lah a nunnom penhen,
25 He asked water, [and] she gave him milk; she brought him butter in a lordly dish.
Sisera in twi anathum’in ahileh aman bongnoi anadon sah e. Mithupi tahho peh dinga kilom khonna chun, bongnoi ha tuitah achoipeh e.
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 through his head, yea, she pierced and struck through his temples.
Hiche jouchun akhut veilamma ponbuh thih hemkhat achoijin chule akhut jet lamma natohna sehcha chu achoijin hiche sehcha chun Sisera chu akhennin, aluchang akhenchip tai. Aman hakhetnin akhennin achalpang chu akhen lhumtai.
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
Ama alhulhop jengin, amanu kengphang komma chun akijam jengin chuleh alhuh lhopna-achun athi dentai.
28 Through the window she looked forth, and cried, the mother of Sisera [cried] through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
Bangkotna kon chun Sisera nu ahung khodah in, hiche bangkotna konchun achapa hung kileding chu galdot jing pummin hitin aseije, “I-atile tugeijahi sakol kangtalai chu hung kilelouva ham? Itidan'a sakol kangtalai khogin tugeija kijalouva ham?” ati.
29 Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
Numei ching theitah kilhamonna thucheng hi navel vellin hiche thucheng hin amale ama akidonbut’in ahi.
30 Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? a damsel, two damsels to every man; to Sisera a spoil of divers colours, a spoil of divers colours of embroidery, of divers colours of embroidery on both sides, on the necks of the spoil?
Amaho hi ahin athilchomdoh uchu kihom uvah hiuvinte, numei khatle ni pasal khat cheh changun te, Sisera dingin ponjem hoitah tah gong’un tin, chule ponjem hoitah a kikhong keidingin jong hin gong’un te ati. Akichomdoh ho lah a chu alangtoa ponjem hoitah tah a kikhong ho jong jao ding ahinai.
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.
Pakai, nagalmite ho jouse Sisera te bangin thina toh cheh-uhen! Amavang nangma ngailu jouse chu nisa bangin thanei tah’in khangtou jing taohen!” Hitichun gamsunga kum 40 geijin chamna ana ummin ahi.
