Jij 5
1 Jou sa a, Debora ak Barak, pitit gason Obinoram lan, pran chante chante sa a:
Then sang Deborah, and Barak the sonne of Abinoam the same day, saying,
2 -Lwanj pou Seyè a, lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo soti pou yo goumen, lè pèp la pote tèt li ak kè kontan pou fè lagè!
Praise ye the Lord for the auenging of Israel, and for the people that offred themselues willingly.
3 Nou menm wa yo, koute sa m'ap di! Nou menm gwo chèf yo, louvri zòrèy nou! Mwen pral chante pou Seyè a! Mwen pral fè lwanj Sengè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la!
Heare, ye Kings, hearken ye princes: I, euen I will sing vnto the Lord: I will sing praise vnto the Lord God of Israel.
4 Seyè! Lè ou te kite mòn Seyi yo, lè ou te soti nan zòn peyi Edon an, latè te pran tranble, lapli tonbe anpil sot nan syèl la. Wi, nwaj yo pran lage dlo.
Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou departedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heauens rained, the cloudes also dropped water.
5 Mòn yo pran tranble devan mèt mòn Sinayi a, devan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la!
The mountaines melted before the Lord, as did that Sinai before the Lord God of Israel.
6 Sou tan Chanmga, pitit gason Anat la, ak sou tan Jayèl, bann machann yo te sispann pwonmennen nan tout peyi a ak bèt yo. Vwayajè yo te blije pase nan lòt chemen.
In the dayes of Shamgar the sonne of Anath, in the dayes of Iael the hie wayes were vnoccupied, and the trauelers walked through by wayes.
7 Lavil peyi Izrayèl yo pa t' gen moun ladan yo ankò pou pran defans yo. Yo te rete san moun pou defann yo, jouk jou mwen menm, Debora, mwen parèt tankou yon manman pou pèp Izrayèl la.
The townes were not inhabited: they decayed, I say, in Israel, vntill I Deborah came vp, which rose vp a mother in Israel.
8 Lè sa a, te prèt pou gen lagè nan peyi a. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo tanmen sèvi lòt bondye. Lè sa a tou, te gen karantmil (40.000) gason nan pèp Izrayèl la. Men, pa t' gen yon plak pwotèj ak frenn pou yo sèvi.
They chose new gods: then was warre in the gates. Was there a shielde or speare seene among fourtie thousand of Israel?
9 Mwen kontan chèf k'ap kòmande pèp Izrayèl la! Mwen kontan moun ki te pote tèt yo pou y' al goumen! Lwanj pou Seyè a!
Mine heart is set on the gouernours of Israel, and on them that are willing among the people: praise ye the Lord.
10 Nou menm ki moute manman bourik blan yo, nou menm ki chita sou bèl tapi, nou menm k'ap mache apye sou gran chimen, kalkile sa byen!
Speake ye that ride on white asses, yee that dwel by Middin, and that walke by the way.
11 Koute vwa moun ki al bò sous dlo yo! Y'ap rakonte tout bèl bagay Seyè a te fè, bèl bagay li te fè pou pèp Izrayèl la. Lè sa a, pèp Seyè a te desann bò pòtay yo.
For the noyse of the archers appaised among the drawers of water: there shall they rehearse the righteousnesse of the Lord, his righteousnesse of his townes in Israel: then did the people of the Lord goe downe to the gates.
12 Annavan! Debora! Annavan! Annou wè! Chante yon chante! Annavan! Annavan! Barak! pitit gason Abinoram lan! Mennen prizonye yo vini!
Vp Deborah, vp, arise, and sing a song: arise Barak, and leade thy captiuitie captiue, thou sonne of Abinoam.
13 Lè sa a, sa ki pa t' vire do bay Bondye yo desann vin jwenn chèf yo. Pèp Seyè a vin jwenn li, tou pare pou lagè.
For they that remaine, haue dominio ouer the mightie of the people: the Lord hath giuen me dominion ouer the strong.
14 Yo soti nan mòn Efrayim yo desann nan fon an, dèyè moun Benjamen yo ak sòlda lame yo. Kòmandan lame yo desann soti Maki, jeneral yo soti nan peyi Zabilon.
Of Ephraim their roote arose against Amalek: and after thee, Beniamin shall fight against thy people, O Amalek: of Machir came rulers, and of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
15 Chèf branch fanmi Isaka yo te la avèk Debora. Wi, moun Isaka yo vini, Barak te vini tou. Yo swiv li nan tout plenn lan. Men, moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo te divize. Yo pa t' ka deside pou yo vini.
And the Princes of Issachar were with Deborah, and Issachar, and also Barak: he was set on his feete in the valley: for the diuisions of Reuben were great thoughts of heart.
16 Poukisa yo rete dèyè avèk mouton yo? Pou yo te ka tande gadò yo ap rele bann mouton yo? Wi! Moun Woubenn yo te an balan. Yo pa t' ka deside si y'ap vini, si yo p'ap vini!
Why abodest thou among the sheepefolds, to heare the bleatings of the flockes? for the diuisions of Reuben were great thoughts of heart.
17 Moun Galarad yo te rete rete yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden an. Moun Dann yo rete rete yo sou bato yo. Moun Asè yo rete rete yo bò lanmè a, yo rete sou tout rivaj yo.
Gilead abode beyonde Iorden: and why doeth Dan remayne in shippes? Asher sate on the sea shoare, and taryed in his decayed places.
18 Men, moun Zabilon yo ak moun Neftali yo al brave danje kote batay la ye a.
But the people of Zebulun and Naphtali haue ieopard their liues vnto the death in the hie places of the field.
19 Wa yo vini, yo kwaze fè bò Tanak, toupre sous dlo Megido a. Wa peyi Kanaran yo goumen, men yo pa jwenn anyen pou yo pote ale! Pa menm yon ti moso ajan!
The Kings came and fought: then fought the Kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: they receiued no gaine of money.
20 Zetwal yo rete nan syèl la yo goumen. Yo rete kote y'ap mache nan syèl la, yo goumen ak Sisera.
They fought from heauen, euen the starres in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 Dlo ravin Kichon an desann pote yo ale. Wi, se ansyen ravin lan, ravin Kichon an, ki fè sa. M'ap mache pran yo, je m' byen kale!
The Riuer Kishon swepe them away, that ancient riuer the riuer Kishon. O my soule, thou hast marched valiantly.
22 Lè sa a, yo tande chwal yo ki t'ap galope ale. Chwal yo t'ap pilonnen tè a ak zago yo.
Then were the horsehooues broken with the oft beating together of their mightie men.
23 Zanj Seyè a di: Ann mande madichon pou lavil Mewòz! Madichon, madichon pou tout moun k'ap viv nan lavil la. Yo pa t' vin ede Seyè a, yo pa t' voye sòlda goumen pou li.
Curse ye Meroz: (sayd the Angel of the Lord) curse the inhabitantes thereof, because they came not to helpe the Lord, to helpe the Lord against the mighty.
24 Nan tout fanm ki sou latè, Jayèl se yon fanm Bondye beni anpil. Wi, Jayèl, madan Ebè, moun fanmi Kayen, nan tout fanm ki sou latè, se yon fanm Bondye beni anpil.
Iael the wife of Heber the Kenite shall be blessed aboue other women: blessed shall she be aboue women dwelling in tentes.
25 Sisera mande l' dlo, li ba li lèt. Li ba l' yon krèm lèt nan pi bèl bòl li te genyen.
He asked water, and shee gaue him milke: she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
26 Li pran yon pikèt tant nan men gòch li, yon mato travayè nan men dwat li. Li frape Sisera nan tèt ak mato a, li krabouye tèt li. Li pèse tanp li, li touye l'.
She put her hand to the naile, and her right hand to the workemans hammer: with the hammer smote she Sisera: she smote off his head, after she had wounded, and pearsed his temples.
27 Sisera tonbe sou jenou, li woule atè, epi li mouri nan pye Jayèl. Wi, nan pye madanm lan, li tonbe sou jenou li yo, li woule atè. Kote li kouche a, li mouri frèt.
He bowed him downe at her feete, he fell downe, and lay still: at her feete hee bowed him downe, and fell: and when he had sunke downe, he lay there dead.
28 Manman Sisera ap gade nan fennèt la. L'ap gade dèyè jalouzi a, l'ap mande: -Kote cha pitit mwen an depi tout tan sa a? Poukisa chwal li yo pran tout reta sa a pou yo vini?
The mother of Sisera looked out at a windowe, and cryed thorowe the lattesse, Why is his charet so long a comming? why tary the wheeles of his charets?
29 Lè sa a, medam ki gen plis konprann nan sèvant li yo reponn li. Li menm tou, li t'ap repete nan kè l':
Her wise ladies answered her, Yea. Shee answered her selfe with her owne wordes,
30 -Koulye a yo dwe ap separe sa yo pran nan men lènmi yo! Yon fi, de fi pou chak sòlda, bèl twal koulè byen bwode pou Sisera, yon gwo mouchwa bwode byen bèl pou l' mete nan kou l'.
Haue they not gotten, and they deuide the spoyle? euery man hath a mayde or two. Sisera hath a praye of diuers coloured garmentes, a pray of sundry colours made of needle worke: of diuers colours of needle worke on both sides, for the chiefe of the spoyle.
31 Wi, Seyè! Se konsa pou tout lènmi ou yo mouri. Men, zanmi ou yo ap klere tankou solèy midi. Apre sa, te gen lapè nan peyi a pandan karantan.
So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but they that loue him, shall be as the Sunne when he riseth in his might, and the lande had rest fourtie yeres.
