Judges 5
1 On that day, Deborah sang this song, along with Barak:
Amo esohaga, Debola amola Bela: ge (Abinoa: me egefe) da amo gesami hea: i.
2 “When the leaders of the Israeli people really lead them, and the people follow them, [it is time to] praise Yahweh!
“Hina Godema nodoma! Isala: ili dunu da gegemusa: dawa: iou, ilia da gegesu hahawane fidimu sia: i.
3 Listen, you kings! Pay attention, you leaders! I will sing to Yahweh. With this song I will praise Yahweh, the God we Israelis worship.
Dilia hina bagade nabima! Noga: le dawa: ma! Na da ninia Isala: ili Hina Godema gesami hea: mu amola gesami hea: su liligi dumu.
4 O Yahweh, when you came from Seir, when you marched from that land [better known as] Edom, the earth shook, and rain poured down from the skies.
Hina Gode! Di da Sie goumi fisili, amola Idome soge amoga ahoanoba, osobo bagade da fofogolalu yagugui amola gibu da muagadodili sa: i. Dafawane, hano da mu mobi amo ganodini dialu, osobo bagadega sa: i.
5 The mountains shook when you came, just like Sinai Mountain shook when you appeared there, because you are Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship.
Sainai Hina Gode da manebeba: le, goumi huluane da fofogoi. Hina Gode! Isala: ili dunu ilia Gode!
6 “When Shamgar was our leader and when Jael ruled us, [we were afraid to walk on] the main roads; instead, caravans of travelers walked on winding [less traveled] roads [to avoid being molested].
Sia: maga (Anade egefe) amola Ya: iele da esalea, dunu amola ga: mele amola bidi lasu dunu da Isala: ili sogega hame misi. Ilia da logo fonobahadi la: ididili asi.
7 People left their small villages, [and moved into the walled cities] until I, Deborah, became their leader. [I became like] a mother to the Israeli people.
Debola! Isala: ili moilai gilisisu da dunu hame esalebe agoane ba: i. Amalalu, di da misi. Di da Isala: ili fi ilia ame defele misi dagoi.
8 When the Israeli people [abandoned Yahweh and] chose new gods, enemies attacked the gates of the cities, and then [they took away] the shields and spears from 40,000 Israeli soldiers. Not one shield or spear was left.
Isala: ili dunu da gaheabolo ogogosu ‘gode’ liligi ilima fa: no bobogebeba: le, gegesu bagade ilia soge ganodini ba: i. Isala: ili dunu 40,000 agoane gilisi amo ganodini, lobo danoma: ne gala: su goge agei amola da: igene gaga: su liligi hame ba: i.
9 I am thankful for the leaders and soldiers who volunteered [to fight]. Praise Yahweh [for them!]
Na da Isala: ili ouligisu dunu ilima bagade asigisa. Amola dunu da mae hihini hahawane fidimusa: misi, na da ilima bagade asigisa. Hina Godema nodoma!
10 “You wealthy people who ride on donkeys, sitting on nice padded saddles, and you people who just walk on the road, you all listen!
Dilia! Dunu da ahea: iya: i dougi amoga fila heda: su dunu! Amo sia: olelema! Amola dili emoga fawane ahoasu dunu! Dilia sia: ma!
11 Listen to the voices of the singers who gather at the places where [the animals drink] water. They tell about how Yahweh acted righteously when he enabled the Israeli warriors to conquer [their enemies]. “Yahweh’s people marched down to the gates of our city.
Nabima! Dunu bagohame da gu hano amogai gilisili wele sia: nana. Ilia da Hina Gode Ea hasalasu hou amola Isala: ili dunu ilia hasalasu hou olelesa. Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea fi dunu da ilia moilai fisili, mogodigili gudu sa: i.
12 The people came to my house and shouted, ‘Deborah, wake up! Wake up and start singing!’ They also shouted, ‘Barak, son of Abinoam, get up, and capture our enemies!’
Debola! Bisima! Bisima! Gesami hea: ma! Bisima! Bela: ge, Abinoa: me egefe di! Ba: le gaidi godiwane masa! Dia ha lai dunu di afugili lai, amo oule masa!
13 Later, some of the Israeli people came down [from Tabor Mountain] with us, their leaders. These men who belonged to Yahweh came with me to fight their strong enemies.
Amalalu, fa: no noga: le bobogesu dunu da ilia ouligisu dunuma gagadomusa: gudu sa: i. Ilia da gegemusa: momagele, Hina Godema gilisi.
14 Some came from the tribe descended from Ephraim. They came from land that once belonged to the descendants of Amalek. And men from the tribe descended from Benjamin followed them. Troops from the group descended from Makir also came down, and officers from the tribe descended from Zebulun came down, carrying staffs.
Ilia da Ifala: ime soge fisili, fagoa gudu misi. Ilia da Bediamini fi dunu ilima fa: no bobogei. Dadi gagui ouligisu dunu da Ma: igie soge fisili misi. Amola, ilia fidisu ouligisu dunu da Sebiula: ne sogega misi.
15 Leaders from the tribes descended from Issachar joined Barak and me. They followed Barak, rushing down into the valley. But men from the tribe descended from Reuben could not decide whether or not to join us.
Isaga fi ouligisu dunu da Debola amo sigi misi. Dafawane! Isaga fi da misi dagoi. Bela: ge da misiba: le, ilia da ema fa: no bobogele, fagoa gudu doaga: i. Be Liubene fi dunu da afafai. Ilia da misunu o hame misunu, hame dawa: i galu.
16 Why did you men stay at your sheep pens, waiting to hear the shepherds whistle for their flocks of sheep to come to the pens? Men in the tribe descended from Reuben could not decide whether they would join us to fight our enemies, or not.
Ilia da abuliba: le mae misini, sibi ouligima: ne ouesalula: ? Ilia abuliba: le, sibi ouligisu dunu sibima wele sia: su amo nabima: ne, ouesalula: ? Ma! Liubene fi da afafai dagoi ba: i. Ilia da misunu o hame misunu, hame dawa: i galu.
17 Similarly, the men living in the Gilead area stayed at home, east of the Jordan River. And the men from the tribe descended from Dan, why did they stay home? The tribe descended from Asher sat by the seashore. They stayed in their coves.
Ga: de fi dunu da Yodane Hano eso mabe la: ididili esalebe ba: i. Da: ne fi dunu da ilia dusagai ouligima: ne esalebe ba: i. A: sie fi dunu da hano bagade bega: ouesalebe ba: i.
18 But men from the tribe descended from Zebulun risked (their lives/were ready to die fighting) on the battlefield, and men descended from Naphtali were ready to do that, also.
Be Sebiula: ne fi dunu amola Na: fadalai dunu da bogosa: besa: le mae dawa: le, gegesu amoga gilisi.
19 “The kings of Canaan fought us at Taanach, near the springs in Megiddo [Valley]. [But since they did not defeat us], they did not carry away any silver or other treasures from the battle.
Hina bagade dunu da Da: ina: ge moilai bai bagade, Megido Hano bega: dialu, amoga gegemusa: misi. Ga: ina: ne hina bagade dunu da gegei, be hame hasalasiba: le, silifa noga: i liligi hame gaguli asi.
20 [It was as though] the stars in the sky fought for us [and as though] those stars in their paths fought against Sisera.
Fedege sia: agoane, gasumuni da muagado asili, amoga gegei. Ilia da hina bagade Sisela ema gegei.
21 The Kishon River swept them away— that river that has been there for ages. I will tell myself to be brave and continue marching on.
Gaisione Hano da filigala: le neda: le, amo dunu huluane mini asili, gaguli asi. Na da gasawane mogodigili masunu!
22 The hooves of the horses of Sisera’s [army] pounded the ground. Those powerful horses kept galloping along.
Amalalu, hosi da hehenane misini, osoboga ha: giwane osa: i.
23 The angel sent by Yahweh said, ‘Curse the people of Meroz [town], because they did not come to help Yahweh to defeat the mighty warriors [of Canaan].’
Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da amane sia: sa, “Milose soge amo aligima: ne gagabuma. Dunu huluane amogawi esala, amo aligima: ne gagabuma. Ilia da Hina Godemagale gegemusa: hame misi.”
24 “But God is very pleased with Jael, the wife of Heber from the Ken people-group. He is more pleased with her than with all the other women who live in tents.
Hibe (Ginaide dunu) amo ea uda da hahawane bagade. E da uda huluane abula diasu amo ganodini esalebe uda, amo ilia hahawane hou baligisa.
25 Sisera asked for some water, but Jael gave him some milk. She brought him some yogurt/curds in a bowl that was suitable for kings.
Sisela da ema hano edegei. Be e da dodo maga: me ema i. E da gebo sefe gugu, yaeya noga: iwane amo ganodini sali, gaguli misini ema i.
26 Then, [when he was asleep], she reached for a tent peg with her left hand, and she reached for a hammer with her right hand. She hit Sisera hard with it and crushed his head. She pounded the tent peg right through his head.
E da abula diasu goge agei, lobo afae amo ganodini gaguli, hawa: hamosu dunu ea ha: ma, lobo eno amo ganodini gagui. E da Sisela fane, ea dialuma goudai. E da ea dialuma amo abula goge agei amoga soi dagoi.
27 He collapsed and fell dead at her feet.
E da muguni bugili, diasa: ili, amo uda ea emo gadenene osoboga sa: ili, bogoi dagoi.
28 “Sisera’s mother looked out from her window. She waited for him to return. She said, ‘Why is he taking so long to come home in his chariot? Why don’t I hear the sound of the wheels of his chariot?’
Sisela ea ame da fo misa: ne agenesi amoga ba: i. E da ifa gigiadomai hobea: ga gadili ba: lalu. E amane adole ba: i, “Ea sa: liode da abuliba: le hedolo hame maha? Ea hosi da abuliba: le hedolo hame buhagisala: ?”
29 One wise woman replied to her, and she [kept consoling herself by] repeating those words:
Ea bagade dawa: su fidisu uda ilia da ema amane adole i, amola e da hisu hima adole ialala, amane,
30 ‘Perhaps they are dividing up the things and the people they captured after the battle. Each soldier will get one or two women. Sisera will get some beautiful robes, and some beautiful embroidered robes for me.’
“Ilia da liligi lama: ne amola afafane ima: ne hogolala. Dadi gagui dunu da afae afae a: fini afae o aduna lamu. Sisela da abula ida: iwane lamu. Amola abula ida: iwane amuni liligi, ea uda galogoa gisa: gima: ne, amo lamusa: hogolala.”
31 But [that is not what happened]! Yahweh, I hope that all your enemies will die as Sisera did! And I desire that all those who love you will be as strong as the sun when it rises!
Hina Gode! Dima ha lai dunu huluane da Sisela ea bogoi defele bogomu da defea. Be Dima dogolegei dunu da eso mabe ea diga: i defele diga: mu da defea.” Amalalu, Isala: ili soge ganodini da ode 40 amoga olofosu fawane ba: i.
