Jij 5
1 Alò, Débora avèk Barak, fis a Abinoam nan te chante jou sa a. Yo te di:
And Debbora and Barac son of Abineem sang in that day, saying,
2 “Akoz chèf yo te dirije Israël, akoz pèp la te pran desizyon, beni SENYÈ a!
A revelation was made in Israel when the people were made willing: Praise ye the Lord.
3 “Tande O wa yo! Bay zòrèy nou, O gran chèf yo! Pou mwen—-Se a SENYÈ a menm ke mwen chante. Mwen va chante bay lwanj a SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
Hear, ye kings, and hearken, 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 “SENYÈ a, lè Ou te sòti Séir, lè Ou te mache soti nan chan Édom an, tè a te tranble e syèl la te fonn, menm nwaj yo te degoute dlo.
O Lord, in thy going forth on Seir, when thou wentest forth out of the land of Edom, the earth quaked and the heaven dropped dews, and the clouds dropped water.
5 Mòn yo te souke devan prezans SENYÈ a, Sinai sila a, devan prezans SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la.
The mountains were shaken before the face of the Lord Eloi, this Sina before the face of the Lord God of Israel.
6 “Nan jou a Schamgar a, fis a Anath la, nan jou a Jaël yo, gran chemen yo te abandone, e vwayajè yo te pase pa lòt ti 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 Aktivite abitan yo te sispann. Yo te sispann an Israël, jiskaske mwen menm, Débora, te vin leve. Jiskaske m te leve, yon manman an Israël.
The mighty men in Israel failed, they failed until Debbora arose, until she arose a mother in Israel.
8 Yo te pito dye nèf yo. Konsa, lagè te vin rive nan pòtay yo. Èske gen lans, èske gen nepe, pami karant-mil lòm an Israël yo?
They chose new gods; then the cities of rulers fought; there was not a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel.
9 Kè m apiye vè chèf Israël yo, mesye ki parèt ak bon volonte pami pèp la. Beni SENYÈ a!
My heart [inclines] to the orders given in Israel; ye that are willing among the people, bless the Lord.
10 “Pale, Nou menm ki monte bourik blan yo, nou menm ki chita sou tapi chè yo, ak nou menm ki vwayaje sou wout la.
Ye that mount a she-ass at noon-day, ye that sit on the judgment-seat, and walk by the roads of them that sit in judgment by the way; declare
11 Lwen bwi achè yo, nan kote y ap rale dlo, la yo va rakonte zèv ladwati a SENYÈ a, zèv ladwati pou moun li yo an Israël. “Epi pèp SENYÈ a te desann nan pòtay yo.
[ye 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 ‘Leve, leve, Débora! Leve, leve, chante yon chan! Leve, Barak, e mennen kaptif ou yo, O fis Abinoam nan.’
Awake, awake, Debbora; awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barac, and lead thy captivity captive, son of Abineem.
13 “Retay prens yo ak chèf yo te desann. SENYÈ a te desann pou mwen kont pwisant yo.
Then went down the remnant to the strong, the people of the Lord went down for him among the mighty ones from me.
14 Sila yo rasinen nan Amalek te soti nan Epharïm. Yo t ap swiv ou, Benjamin, avèk pèp ou a. Soti nan Makir, kòmandan yo te desann. E soti nan Zabulon, sila ki voye baton pouvwa yo.
Ephraim rooted them out in Amalec, behind thee was Benjamin among thy 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 Prens Issacar yo te avèk Débora. Tankou Issacar, konsa Barak. Nan vale a, yo te plonje dèyè talon li. Akote kous dlo Ruben yo, yo te pran desizyon.
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 nou chita pami pak mouton yo pou tande kri a bann mouton yo? Akote kous dlo Ruben yo, te gen kè ki manke pran desizyon.
Why did they sit between the sheep-folds to hear the bleating of flocks for the divisions of Ruben? [there were] great searchings of heart.
17 Galaad te rete lòtbò Jourdain an. Poukisa Dan te rete nan bato yo? Ak Aser ki chita bòdmè a akote ti flèv 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 Zabulon, yon pèp ki pa t konsidere lavi yo jiska devan lanmò; ak Nephtali tou, nan lye wo sou chan an.
The people Zabulon exposed their soul to death, and Nephthali came to the high places of their land.
19 “Wa yo te parèt. Yo te goumen; wa Kananeyen yo te goumen kote Thaanac, toupre dlo a Méguiddo yo. Yo pa t pran piyaj an 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 te goumen soti nan syèl la, soti nan kous yo, yo te goumen kont Sisera.
The stars from heaven set themselves in array, they set themselves [to fight] with Sisara out of their paths.
21 Dlo ravin, larivyè Kishon te pran yo ale, ansyen dlo ravin nan, dlo ravin Kishon an. O nanm mwen mache avanse ak fòs.
The brook of Kison swept them away, the ancient brook, the brook Kison: my mighty soul will trample him down.
22 Epi zago cheval yo te bat akoz kous la; kous a tout gwo zago pwisan sa yo.
When the hoofs of the horse were entangled, his mighty ones earnestly hasted
23 ‘Modi Méroz di zanj SENYÈ a! Modi pèp ki rete la a nèt, akoz yo pa t vini ede SENYÈ a kont pwisant yo.’
to curse Meroz: Curse ye [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 “Beni pase tout fanm yo se Jaël, madanm Héber a, Kenyen an. Se pi beni li ye pase tout fanm nan tant lan.
Blessed among women be Jael wife of Chaber the Kenite; let her be blessed above women in tents.
25 Li te mande dlo; li te ba li lèt. Nan yon veso byen bèl, li te pote ba li bòl lèt yo.
He asked for water, she gave him milk in a dish; she brought butter of princes.
26 Li te lonje men li pou pran pikèt la, men dwat la pou mato ouvriye a. Konsa, li te frape Sisera. Li te kraze tèt li. Wi, li te kraze fwontèn tèt li a.
She stretched forth her left hand to the nail, and her right to the hand workman's hammer, and she smote Sisara with it, she nailed through his head and smote him; she nailed through his temples.
27 Antre janm li yo, li te tonbe. La, li kouche. Kote gason an te bese a, la, li te tonbe mò.
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 “Deyò fenèt la, fi a te gade byen twouble: Manman Sisera te gade anndan treyi a. ‘Poukisa cha l a fè reta konsa? Poukisa nou poko tande bwi la a pye cheval cha li yo, k ap frape tè a pou l rive?’
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 tarry?
29 Demwazèl saj li yo tap reponn li; Anverite, li menm te repete pawòl yo nan pwòp tèt li
Her wise ladies answered her, and she returned answers to herself, [saying],
30 ‘Èske se pa ke yo te jwenn, ke y ap divize piyaj la? Yon demwazèl, menm de demwazèl pou chak gèrye; pou Sisera, yon piyaj bèl twal fonse, piyaj a yon twal anbeli trese byen fen; yon mendèv très doub sou kou a piyajè a?’
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 “Se konsa pou kite tout lènmi Ou yo peri, O SENYÈ, men ke sila ki renmen Li yo vin tankou solèy k ap leve ak tout fòs li.” Konsa, peyi a te rete san boulvèsman pandan karant ane.
Thus let all thine 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.
