Jij 5
1 Jou sa a, Debora ak Barak, pitit gason Obinoram lan, pran chante chante sa a:
And Debbora and Barac son of Abineem sang in that 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!
A revelation was made in Israel when the people were made willing: Praise you the Lord.
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!
Hear, you kings, and listen, rulers: I will sing, it is I [who will sing] to the Lord, it is I, I will sing a psalm to the Lord the 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.
O Lord, in your going forth on Seir, when you went forth out of the land of Edom, the earth quaked and the heaven dropped dews, and the clouds dropped water.
5 Mòn yo pran tranble devan mèt mòn Sinayi a, devan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la!
The mountains were shaken before the face of the Lord Eloi, this Sina before the face of 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 days of Samegar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, they deserted the ways, and went in by-ways; they went in crooked paths.
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 mighty men in Israel failed, they failed until Debbora arose, until she arose 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 the cities of rulers fought; there was not a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in 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!
My heart [inclines] to the orders given in Israel; you that are willing among the people, bless 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!
You that mount a she-ass at noon-day, you that sit on the judgment-seat, and walk by the roads of them that sit in judgment by the way; declare
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.
[you that are delivered] from the noise of disturbers among the drawers of water; there shall they relate righteous acts: O Lord, increase righteous acts in Israel: then the people of the Lord went down to the cities.
12 Annavan! Debora! Annavan! Annou wè! Chante yon chante! Annavan! Annavan! Barak! pitit gason Abinoram lan! Mennen prizonye yo vini!
Awake, awake, Debbora; awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barac, and lead your captivity captive, son of Abineem.
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.
Then went down the remnant to the strong, the people of the Lord went down for him among the mighty ones from me.
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.
Ephraim rooted them out in Amalec, behind you was Benjamin among your people: the inhabitants of Machir came down with me searching out the enemy, and from Zabulon came they that draw with the scribe's pen of record.
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 princess in Issachar were with Debbora and Barac, thus she sent Barac on his feet in the valleys into the portions of Ruben; great [pangs] reached to the 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 did they sit between the sheepfolds to hear the bleating of flocks for the divisions of Ruben? [there were] great searchings 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.
Galaad [is] on the other side of Jordan where he pitched his tents; and why does Dan remain in ships? Aser sat down on the sea-coasts, and he will tabernacle at his ports.
18 Men, moun Zabilon yo ak moun Neftali yo al brave danje kote batay la ye a.
The people Zabulon exposed their soul to death, and Nephthali came to the high places of their land.
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!
Kings set themselves in array, then the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanaach at the water of Mageddo; they took no gift of money.
20 Zetwal yo rete nan syèl la yo goumen. Yo rete kote y'ap mache nan syèl la, yo goumen ak Sisera.
The stars from heaven set themselves in array, they set themselves [to fight] with Sisara out of their paths.
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 brook of Kison swept them away, the ancient brook, the brook Kison: my mighty soul will trample him down.
22 Lè sa a, yo tande chwal yo ki t'ap galope ale. Chwal yo t'ap pilonnen tè a ak zago yo.
When the hoofs of the horse were entangled, his mighty ones earnestly hasted
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.
to curse Meroz: Curse you [it], said the angel of the Lord; cursed [is] every one that dwells in it, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to his help among 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.
Blessed among women be Jael wife of Chaber the Kenite; let her be blessed above women in tents.
25 Sisera mande l' dlo, li ba li lèt. Li ba l' yon krèm lèt nan pi bèl bòl li te genyen.
He asked for water, she gave him milk in a dish; she brought butter of princes.
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 stretched forth her left hand to the nail, and her right to the hand workman's hammer, and she struck Sisara with it, she nailed through his head and struck him; she nailed through 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 rolled down between her feet; he fell and lay between her feet; he bowed and fell: where he bowed, there he fell 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 Sisara looked down through the window out of the loophole, [saying], Why was his chariot ashamed? why did the wheels of his chariots wait?
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, and she returned answers to herself, [saying],
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'.
Will they not find him dividing the spoil? he will surely be gracious to every man: [there are] spoils of dyed garments for Sisara, spoils of various dyed garments, dyed embroidered garments, they [are] the spoils for his neck.
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.
Thus let all your enemies perish, O Lord: and they that love him shall be as the going forth of the sun in his strength. And the land had rest forty years.
