Judges 5
1 And Deborah singeth — also Barak son of Abinoam — on that day, saying: —
Chiengʼno Debora kod Barak wuod Abinoam nowero wendni:
2 'For freeing freemen in Israel, For a people willingly offering themselves Bless ye Jehovah.
“Pakuru Jehova Nyasaye nikech jotelo mag Israel okawo loch, kendo ji giwegi ochiwore mar luwogi!
3 Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, to Jehovah, I — I do sing, I sing praise to Jehovah, 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 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.
“Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, piny noyiengni, kendo polo nogingore, mi koth ochwe kane iwuok Seir e piny Edom.
5 Hills flowed from the face of Jehovah, This one — Sinai — From the face of Jehovah, 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 ways have ceased, And those going in the paths go [in] crooked ways.
“E ndalo mag Shamgar wuod Anath, kendo e ndalo Jael, yore nojwangʼ, mi jowuoth ne luwo yore matindo.
7 Villages ceased in Israel — they ceased, Till that I arose — Deborah, That I 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 He chooseth new gods, Then war [is] at the gates! A shield is not seen — and 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 [is] to the lawgivers of Israel, Who are offering themselves willingly among the people, Bless ye Jehovah!
Opak Jehova Nyasaye nikech chunya nigi jotend jo-Israel, kaachiel gi jogo mochiwore!
10 Riders on white asses — Sitters on a long robe — And walkers by the way — meditate!
“Un joma oidho punde marochere, kobedo e matandiko molos gi ongede, kendo un joma wuotho e wangʼ yo, winjuru,
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.
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 a song; Rise, Barak, and take captive thy captivity, 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 him who is left of the honourable ones He caused to rule the people of Jehovah, He caused me to rule among the mighty.
“Eka jogo mane owe nobiro ir ruodhi; oganda Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ira gi teko duto.
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.
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 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!
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 Why hast thou abode between the boundaries, To hear lowings of herds? For the divisions of Reuben, Great [are] the searchings 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 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 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 [is] a people who exposed its soul to death, Naphtali also — on high places of the field.
Jo-Zebulun nochiwo ngimagi ne tho; kamano bende Naftali noketo mare e kuonde kedo.
19 Kings came — they fought; Then fought kings of Canaan, In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; Gain of money they took not!
“Ruodhi mag Kanaan nobiro, mokedo; Tanak machiegni gi pige mag Megido, to ne ok gidhi gi fedha, kata kawo gimoro amora moyako.
20 From the heavens they fought: The stars from their highways fought with Sisera.
Koa e polo, sulwe nokedo, koa kama gichakore negikedo gi Sisera.
21 The brook Kishon swept them away, The brook most ancient — the brook Kishon. Thou dost tread down strength, O my soul!
Aora Kishon noywoyogi, aora ma hike ngʼeny, aora Kishon. Dhi nyime, chunya; bed motegno!
22 Then broken were the horse-heels, By pransings — pransings of its mighty ones.
Bangʼ mano mor mar tiende farese nowinji kachikore gi teko mangʼeny.
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!
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 is Jael, Wife of Heber the Kenite, Above women in the tent she is 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 lordly dish she brought near butter.
Nokwayo pi modho, to nomiye chak; nokelone chak mopwo e bakul moromo ruoth chiemoe.
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.
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 down; 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 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?
“Min Sisera ne ngʼicho gie dirisa; kaywak kama: ‘Angʼo momiyo gache odeko kapok obiro? Angʼo momiyo mor mar gechene ok winjre?’
29 The wise ones, her princesses, answer her, Yea, she returneth her sayings to herself:
Achiel kuom jotichne ma nyiri mariek nodwoke; kawuoyo kende kama:
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!
‘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 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.
“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.
