Jij 5
1 Alò, Débora avèk Barak, fis a Abinoam nan te chante jou sa a. Yo te di:
Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2 “Akoz chèf yo te dirije Israël, akoz pèp la te pran desizyon, beni SENYÈ a!
Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
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, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, [even] I, will sing to the LORD; I will sing [praise] to the LORD 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.
LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.
5 Mòn yo te souke devan prezans SENYÈ a, Sinai sila a, devan prezans SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la.
The mountains melted from before the LORD, [even] that Sinai from before 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 Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travelers walked through by-ways.
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 inhabitants of] the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I 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 [was] war in the gates: was there 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 [is] towards the governors of Israel that offered themselves willingly among the people: Bless ye 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.
Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
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.
[They that are delivered] from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, [even] the righteous acts [towards the inhabitants] of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.
12 ‘Leve, leve, Débora! Leve, leve, chante yon chan! Leve, Barak, e mennen kaptif ou yo, O fis Abinoam nan.’
Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13 “Retay prens yo ak chèf yo te desann. SENYÈ a te desann pou mwen kont pwisant yo.
Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
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.
Out of Ephraim [was there] a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
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 the princes of Issachar [were] with Deborah: even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben [there were] great thoughts of 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 abodest thou among the sheep-folds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben [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?
Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea-shore, and abode in his breaches.
18 Men Zabulon, yon pèp ki pa t konsidere lavi yo jiska devan lanmò; ak Nephtali tou, nan lye wo sou chan an.
Zebulun and Naphtali [were] a people [that] jeoparded their lives to death in the high places of the field.
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.
The kings came [and] fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Tanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
20 Zetwal yo te goumen soti nan syèl la, soti nan kous yo, yo te goumen kont Sisera.
They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
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 river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
22 Epi zago cheval yo te bat akoz kous la; kous a tout gwo zago pwisan sa yo.
Then were the horse's hoofs broken by the means of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
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.’
Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly its inhabitants; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against 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 above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
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 water, [and] she gave [him] milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
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 put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and struck 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.
At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down 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 Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot [so] long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29 Demwazèl saj li yo tap reponn li; Anverite, li menm te repete pawòl yo nan pwòp tèt li
Her wise ladies answered her, yes, she returned answer to herself.
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?’
Have they not found; have they [not] divided the prey; to every man a damsel [or] two; to Sisera a prey of divers colors, a prey of divers colors of needle-work, of divers colors of needle-work on both sides, [meet] for the necks of [them that take] the spoil?
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.
So let all thy enemies perish, O LORD: but [let] them that love him [be] as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
