Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah, and Barak, son of Abinoam, —on that day, saying: —
Chiengʼno Debora kod Barak wuod Abinoam nowero wendni:
2 For the leadership of leaders in Israel, For the volunteering of the people, —Bless ye Yahweh!
“Pakuru Jehova Nyasaye nikech jotelo mag Israel okawo loch, kendo ji giwegi ochiwore mar luwogi!
3 Hear, ye kings! Give ear, ye princes! I, unto Yahweh, —I, will sing, Will make melody to Yahweh, God of Israel.
“Winjuru, un ruodhi! Chikuru itu, un jotelo! Abiro pako Jehova Nyasaye ka awerne; anachuog ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel wer.
4 O Yahweh! When thou didst come forth out of Seir, When thou didst march along out of the field of Edom, Earth, trembled, Heaven also, poured forth, —Yea, dark clouds, poured forth waters;
“Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, piny noyiengni, kendo polo nogingore, mi koth ochwe kane iwuok Seir e piny Edom.
5 From, mountains, came down streams In presence of Yahweh, —From this Sinai, In presence of Yahweh, God of Israel.
Got Sinai noyiengni e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the roads were forsaken, —and, the frequenters of highways, betook them to roundabout paths:
“E ndalo mag Shamgar wuod Anath, kendo e ndalo Jael, yore nojwangʼ, mi jowuoth ne luwo yore matindo.
7 There was a failure of rulers, in Israel, a failure, —until I arose, a Deborah, arose, a mother in Israel: —
Teko mar jolweny e miech Israel norumo, manyaka an Debora nabiro, ma abedo ka min ji e piny Israel.
8 They chose gods that were new, Then, —war at the gates! Was there, a shield, to be seen? or a spear? among forty thousand in Israel?
Kane giyiero nyiseche manyien, lweny nochakore e dhorangeye mag dala maduongʼ, kata mana okumba kod tongʼ ne ok oyudie kind jolwenj jo-Israel alufu piero angʼwen.
9 My heart [saith] —for the governors of Israel, for the volunteers among the people, Bless ye Yahweh!
Opak Jehova Nyasaye nikech chunya nigi jotend jo-Israel, kaachiel gi jogo mochiwore!
10 Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on carpets, and ye that walk upon the road, speak!
“Un joma oidho punde marochere, kobedo e matandiko molos gi ongede, kendo un joma wuotho e wangʼ yo, winjuru,
11 In the place of the noise of bowmen among the wells, there, laud ye—the righteous acts of Yahweh, the righteous acts of his rule over Israel. Then, had come down to the gates the people of Yahweh.
dwond joma wer koa kuonde mamon umboe pi; ka giwero timbe makare mag Jehova Nyasaye, kendo ka gipako timbe makare mag jolweny mage mager man Israel. “Bangʼ mano oganda Jehova Nyasaye nodhi e dhorangeye mag dala maduongʼ.
12 Awake! awake! Deborah, Awake! awake! utter words of song, —Arise! Barak, and bind fast thy captives, O son of Abinoam!
Debora, chiew, chiew! ‘Chungi kendo ia malo mondo ichak wer! Aa malo, yaye Barak! Ter jogo miseloyo e twech, yaye wuod Abinoam.’
13 Then, came down a remnant to the nobles—a people, —Yahweh, came down with me against the mighty.
“Eka jogo mane owe nobiro ir ruodhi; oganda Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ira gi teko duto.
14 Out of Ephraim, [came down] they whose root was in Amalek, After thee, Benjamin, among thy tribes, —Out of Machir, had come down governors, And, out of Zebulun, such as bear aloft the staff of the marshal;
Jomoko kuomgi nowuok e gode mag Efraim, ogandagi nodak Amalek, kendo joma noa Benjamin noluwo bangʼu. Jotend lweny noa Makir nobiro, kendo joma noa Zebulun notingʼo ludh jatend lweny.
15 And, my princes in Issachar, were with Deborah, yea, Issachar, was the support of Barak, Into the vale rushed they forth at his feet. Among the divisions of Reuben, great were the resolves of the heart:
Jotend Isakar ne nigi Debora; adier, Isakar ne nigi Barak, koreto bangʼe ka gichiko holo. To e gwenge mag Reuben ne nitiere nono chuny matut.
16 Wherefore abodes thou among the folds? To hear the mocking of the flocks? The divisions of Reuben, had great counsellings of heart.
En angʼo momiyo ne usiko ka uoyo maj jokwath mondo omi uwinj ka jokwath liyo ni rombe? To e gwenge mag Reuben ne nitiere nono chuny matut.
17 Gilead, beyond the Jordan, took his rest, but, Dan, wherefore remained he with the ships? Asher, abode by the shore of the seas, and, by his creeks, must needs rest.
Gilead nodongʼ loka Jordan. To angʼo momiyo Dan nogalore but meli? Asher to nodongʼ e dho nam mi gidak e dho wedhe kuma yiedhi gowe.
18 Zebulun—a people that scorned their souls unto death; and, Naphtali, —upon the heights of the field.
Jo-Zebulun nochiwo ngimagi ne tho; kamano bende Naftali noketo mare e kuonde kedo.
19 On came kings, they fought, Then, fought the kings of Canaan, In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo, —Plunder of silver, they took not away!
“Ruodhi mag Kanaan nobiro, mokedo; Tanak machiegni gi pige mag Megido, to ne ok gidhi gi fedha, kata kawo gimoro amora moyako.
20 From heaven, was the battle fought, —The stars in their courses, fought against Sisera.
Koa e polo, sulwe nokedo, koa kama gichakore negikedo gi Sisera.
21 The torrent of Kishon, swept them away, the torrent of olden times, the torrent of Kishon! Let my soul march along, with victorious strength!
Aora Kishon noywoyogi, aora ma hike ngʼeny, aora Kishon. Dhi nyime, chunya; bed motegno!
22 Then, stamped hoofs of horses, With the gallopings, gallopings of his mighty steeds.
Bangʼ mano mor mar tiende farese nowinji kachikore gi teko mangʼeny.
23 Curse ye Meroz, saith the messenger of Yahweh, Curse ye with a curse, the inhabitants thereof, —because they came not in to the help of Yahweh, to the help of Yahweh, against the mighty.
Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni, ‘Okwongʼ Meroz kaachiel gi joge gi kwongʼ malit, nikech ne ok gibiro mondo gikony Jehova Nyasaye e lwet joma tek.’
24 Blessed above women, shall be Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite, —Above women in the tent, be blessed:
“Jael ma chi Heber ja-Keni en dhako mogwedhi kuom mon duto, kendo ogwedhe moloyo mon duto modak e hema.
25 Water, he asked, Milk, she gave, —In a bowl for nobles, presented cream:
Nokwayo pi modho, to nomiye chak; nokelone chak mopwo e bakul moromo ruoth chiemoe.
26 Her hand, to the tent-pin, put she forth, and, her right hand, to the toilers’ mallet, —Then smote she Sisera, She shattered his head, Yea she split open and pierced through his temples:
Norieyo lwete mondo okaw sigingi mar hema, ka lwete korachwich nokawogo twor. Nogoyo Sisera, motoyo wiye, kendo nopowo lela wangʼe.
27 Between her feet, he bowed—he fell, he lay, —Between her feet, he bowed—he fell, Where he bowed, There, he fell—destroyed!
Nopodho e tiende, mogore piny; kendo kanyo ema nothoe. Adier, nopodho e tiende, mogore piny; kendo kama nopodhoeno, ema nogore piny motho.
28 Through the window, looked out and shrilly cried, The mother of Sisera, through the lattice, —Why is his chariot ashamed to come? Why delay the wheels of his chariot?
“Min Sisera ne ngʼicho gie dirisa; kaywak kama: ‘Angʼo momiyo gache odeko kapok obiro? Angʼo momiyo mor mar gechene ok winjre?’
29 The wise ladies, her princesses, responded, —Nay! she, returned answer to, herself: —
Achiel kuom jotichne ma nyiri mariek nodwoke; kawuoyo kende kama:
30 Is it not They keep finding—dividing spoil, One damsel, two damsels, to every several hero, Spoil, of divers coloured raiment for Sisera, Spoil, of divers coloured raiment, embroidered, Coloured raiment richly embroidered, on the necks of them who are taken as spoil?
‘Donge gipogo gik moyaki ka ngʼato ka ngʼato yudo nyako achiel kata ariyo, kendo imiyo Sisera lewni mabeyo kaachiel gi lewni mabeyo motwangʼ mongʼith, monego arwaki?’
31 So, perish all thine enemies, O Yahweh, But be, they who love him, as the going forth of the sun, in his might! And the land had rest forty years.
“Omiyo mad wasikgi duto rum, yaye Jehova Nyasaye! To mad joma oheri chal gi chiengʼ, mawuok gi teko.” Bangʼ mano piny Israel nobedo gi kwe kuom higni piero angʼwen.
