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 Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
“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 to the LORD; I will sing [praise] to the LORD 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 out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also 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 melted from before the LORD, [even] that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.

6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travelers walked through by-ways.

7 [The inhabitants of] the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, 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] towards 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 Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
“Nangho sangan hoitah tah chunga kampol pon hoitah tah toupha-a lhaiho leh lamlen dunga vahlehon ngaito uvin!
11 [They that are delivered] 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 [towards the inhabitants] of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go 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.

“Thouvin Deborah thouvin! Thouvin, thouvin la saovin! Thovin Barak! Abinoam chapa nagal hing mat ho hinkaijin!
13 Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over 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 [was there] a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
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: even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben [there were] great thoughts of heart.

16 Why abodest thou among the sheep-folds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben [there were] great searchings of heart.

19 The kings came [and] fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Tanach by the waters of Megiddo; 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 of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.

23 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly its inhabitants; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.

24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

25 He asked water, [and] she gave [him] milk; she brought forth 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 off his head, when she had 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 down: 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 The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot [so] long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?

30 Have they not found; have they [not] divided the prey; to every man a damsel [or] two; to Sisera a prey of divers colors, a prey of divers colors of needle-work, of divers colors of needle-work on both sides, [meet] for the necks of [them that take] the spoil?

31 So let all thy 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.
