Judges 5
1 And Deborah singeth — also Barak son of Abinoam — on that day, saying: —
Hiche nichun Deborah leh Abinoam chapa Barak hin vahchoila hi ana sa lhon in ahi.
2 'For freeing freemen in Israel, For a people willingly offering themselves Bless ye Jehovah.
“Israel lamkai hon alamkaiyun chule mipin kipah tah in anung’u ajuiyun, Pakai chu thangvah in umhen!
3 Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, to Jehovah, I — I do sing, I sing praise to Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, in Thy going forth out of Seir, In Thy stepping out of the field of Edom, Earth trembled, also the heavens dropped, Also thick 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 Hills flowed from the face of Jehovah, This one — Sinai — From the face of Jehovah, 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 son of Anath — In the days of Jael — The ways have ceased, And those going in the paths go [in] crooked ways.
Anath chapa Shamgar nikholai leh Jael nikho laijin mipiten lamlen jeng jong apelun, kholjin ho jeng in jong lampellang ajotjji tauve.
7 Villages ceased in Israel — they ceased, Till that I arose — Deborah, 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 He chooseth new gods, Then war [is] at the gates! A shield is not seen — and a spear 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] to the lawgivers of Israel, Who are offering themselves willingly among the people, Bless ye Jehovah!
Kalungthim pumpihi Israel gal lamkai galsat dinga hung kipedoh hochung achengin ahi. Pakai chu thangvah in umhen!
10 Riders on white asses — Sitters on a long robe — And walkers by the way — meditate!
“Nangho sangan hoitah tah chunga kampol pon hoitah tah toupha-a lhaiho leh lamlen dunga vahlehon ngaito uvin!
11 By the voice of shouters Between the places of drawing water, There they give out righteous acts of Jehovah, Righteous acts of His villages in Israel, Then ruled in the gates have the people of Jehovah.
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; Rise, Barak, and take captive thy captivity, Son of Abinoam.
“Thouvin Deborah thouvin! Thouvin, thouvin la saovin! Thovin Barak! Abinoam chapa nagal hing mat ho hinkaijin!
13 Then him who is left of the honourable ones He caused to rule the people of Jehovah, He caused me to rule among 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 their root [is] against Amalek. After thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples. Out of Machir came down lawgivers, And out of Zebulun those drawing with the reed of a 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 princes in Issachar [are] with Deborah, Yea, Issachar [is] right with Barak, Into the valley he was sent on his feet. In the divisions of Reuben, Great [are] the decrees 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 hast thou abode between the boundaries, To hear lowings of herds? For the divisions of Reuben, Great [are] the 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 beyond the Jordan did tabernacle, And Dan — why doth he sojourn [in] ships? Asher hath abode at the haven of the seas, And by his creeks doth tabernacle.
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 [is] a people who exposed its soul to death, Naphtali also — on 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 Kings came — they fought; Then fought kings of Canaan, In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; Gain of money they took not!
Canaan lengte ahungun Megiddo twinah phung komma chun Taanach munnah gal asatnin imacha alemlo pon ahi.
20 From the heavens they fought: The stars from their highways fought with Sisera.
Chunga ahsiten vanna kon in gal asatnin, ahsiten akikhai khumnao munna kon in Sisera dounan gal ahin sat’un ahi.
21 The brook Kishon swept them away, The brook most ancient — the brook Kishon. Thou dost tread down strength, O my soul!
Kishon vadungin alhohmang gamtaove. Kishon kiti golluilaija tuihattah chutoh kalhagao hangsantah in kijotkhom lhontan.
22 Then broken were the horse-heels, By pransings — pransings of its mighty ones.
Hiche jouchun sakol kengin leiset achon in, Sesira sakol thupitah chu akinunkho jing jengin ahi.
23 Curse Meroz — said a messenger of Jehovah, Cursing, curse ye its inhabitants, For they came not to the help of Jehovah, To the help of Jehovah among 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 is Jael, Wife of Heber the Kenite, Above women in the tent she is blessed.
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 Water he asked — milk she gave; In a lordly dish she brought near butter.
Sisera in twi anathum’in ahileh aman bongnoi anadon sah e. Mithupi tahho peh dinga kilom khonna chun, bongnoi ha tuitah achoipeh e.
26 Her hand to the pin she sendeth forth, And her right hand to the labourers' hammer, And she hammered Sisera — she smote his head, Yea, she smote, and it passed through his temple.
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 Between her feet he bowed — He fell, he lay down; Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell — destroyed.
Ama alhulhop jengin, amanu kengphang komma chun akijam jengin chuleh alhuh lhopna-achun athi dentai.
28 Through the window she hath looked out — Yea, she crieth out — the mother of Sisera, Through the lattice: Wherefore is his chariot delaying to come? Wherefore tarried have the steps of his chariot?
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 The wise ones, her princesses, answer her, Yea, she returneth her sayings to herself:
Numei ching theitah kilhamonna thucheng hi navel vellin hiche thucheng hin amale ama akidonbut’in ahi.
30 Do they not find? — they apportion spoil, A female — two females — for every head, Spoil of finger-work for Sisera, Spoil of embroidered finger-work, Finger-work — a pair of embroidered things, For 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 do all Thine enemies perish, O Jehovah, And those loving Him [are] As the going out of the sun in its might!' and the land resteth 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.
