Mahukunta 5
1 A wannan rana ce Debora da Barak ɗan Abinowam suka rera wannan waƙa.
In that day Debbora and Barac son of Abinoem sung, and said:
2 “Sa’ad da’ya’yan sarki a Isra’ila suka yi jagora, sa’ad da mutane suka niyya su ba da kansu, suna yabon Ubangiji!
O you of Israel, that have willingly offered your lives to danger, bless the Lord.
3 “Ya sarakuna, ku ji! Ku saurara, ku masu mulki! Zan yi waƙa ga Ubangiji, zan yi waƙa; zan yi kaɗe-kaɗe ga Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila.
Hear, O ye kings, give ear, ye princes: It is I, it is I, that will sing to the Lord, I will sing to the Lord the God of Israel.
4 “Ya Ubangiji, sa’ad da ka bar Seyir, sa’ad da ka yi tafiya daga ƙasar Edom, ƙasa ta girgiza, sammai suka zubo, gizagizai sun zubo da ruwa.
O Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, and passedst by the regions of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped water.
5 Duwatsu suka girgizu a gaban Ubangiji, Wannan na Sinai, a gaban Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila.
The mountains melted before the face of the Lord, and Sinai before the face of the Lord the God of Israel.
6 “A zamanin Shamgar ɗan Anat, a zamanin Yayel, an yashe dukan hanyoyi; matafiye suka bi hanyoyin da suka yi kona-kona.
In the days of Samgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jahel the paths rested: and they that went by them, walked through by-ways.
7 Rayuwar ƙauye a Isra’ila ta daina, ta daina sai da ni, Debora, na taso, na taso mahaifiya a Isra’ila.
The valiant men ceased, and rested in Israel: until Debbora arose, a mother arose in Israel.
8 Sa’ad da suka zaɓi sababbin alloli, sai ga yaƙi a ƙofofin birnin, ba a kuwa ga garkuwa ko māshi a cikin mutum dubu arba’in a Isra’ila ba.
The Lord chose new wars, and he himself overthrew the gates of the enemies: a shield and spear was not seen among forty thousand of Israel.
9 Zuciyata tana tare da’ya’yan sarakunan Isra’ila, tare da masu niyyar ba da kansu da yardan rai cikin mutane. Yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji!
My heart loveth the princes of Israel: O you that of your own good will offered yourselves to danger, bless the Lord.
10 “Ku da kuke hawan fararen jakuna, kuna zama a sirdin barguna, da ku da kuke tafiya a kan hanya, ku kula
Speak, you that ride upon fair asses, and you that sit in judgment, and walk in the way.
11 da muryoyin mawaƙa a wuraren ruwaye. Suna faɗi ayyukan adalcin Ubangiji, ayyukan adalcin mayaƙansa a Isra’ila. “Sa’an nan mutanen Ubangiji suka gangara zuwa ƙofofin birni.
Where the chariots were dashed together, and the army of the enemies was choked, there let the justices of the Lord be rehearsed, and his clemency towards the brave men of Israel: then the people of the Lord went down to the gates, and obtained the sovereignty.
12 ‘Ki farka, ki farka, Debora! Ki farka, ki farka, ki tā da waƙa! Ka farka, ya Barak! Ka ta sa kamammunka gaba, ya ɗan Abinowam.’
Arise, arise, O Debbora, arise, arise, and utter a canticle. Arise, Barac, and take hold of thy captives, O son of Abinoem.
13 “Sa’an nan waɗanda aka bari suka sauko zuwa wajen shugabanni; mutane na Ubangiji suka zo wurina tare da masu ƙarfi.
The remnants of the people are saved, the Lord hath fought among the valiant ones.
14 Waɗansu suka zo daga Efraim, waɗanda ainihinsu daga Amalek ne; Benyamin yana tare da mutanen da suka bi ka. Daga Makir, shugabannin sojoji suka gangaro, daga Zebulun waɗanda suke riƙe da sandan komanda suka fito.
Out of Ephraim he destroyed them into Amalec, and after him out of Benjamin into thy people, O Amalec: Out of Machir there came down princes, and out of Zabulon they that led the army to fight.
15 ’Ya’yan sarautar Issakar suna tare da Debora; I, Issakar yana tare da Barak, yana binsa a guje zuwa kwari. A yankunan Ruben aka kuma bincike zuciya sosai.
The captains of Issachar were with Debbora, and followed the steps of Barac, who exposed himself to danger, as one going headlong, and into a pit. Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men.
16 Don me kuka tsaya a wutar sansani don ku ji makiyaya suna kiran garkuna? A yankunan Ruben aka yi bincike zuciya sosai.
Why dwellest thou between two borders, that thou mayest hear the bleatings of the flocks? Ruben being divided against himself, there was found a strife of courageous men.
17 Gileyad ya tsaya gaban Urdun. Kai kuma Dan, don me ka ka yi ta zama a wajen jiragen ruwa? Asher ya ci gaba da kasance a bakin teku ya kasance a wuraren zamansa.
Galaad rested beyond the Jordan, and Dan applied himself to ships: Aser dwelt on the sea shore, and abode in the havens.
18 Mutanen Zebulun sun kasai da rayukansu; haka ma Naftali a bakin dāgā.
But Zabulon and Nephtali offered their lives to death in the region of Merome.
19 “Sarakuna suka zo, suka yi yaƙi; sarakunan Kan’ana sun yi yaƙi a Ta’anak a gefen ruwan Megiddo, amma ba su ɗauki azurfa, ko ganima ba.
The kings came and fought, the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanach by the waters of Mageddo, and yet they took no spoils.
20 Daga sama taurari suka yi faɗa, daga bakin tekuna suka yi yaƙi da Sisera.
War from heaven was made against them, the stars remaining in their order and courses fought against Sisara.
21 Kogin Kishon ya kwashe su, tsohon kogi, kogin Kishon. Ci gaba raina; ka ƙarfafa!
The torrent of Cison dragged their carcasses, the torrent of Cadumim, the torrent of Cisoii: tread thou, my soul, upon the strong ones.
22 Sa’an nan kofatan dawakai suka ƙwaƙula, suna sukuwa, haka dawakansa masu ƙarfi suke tafiya.
The hoofs of the horses were broken whilst the stoutest of the enemies fled amain, and fell headlong down.
23 Mala’ikan Ubangiji ya ce, ‘Ka la’anci Meroz.’ ‘Ka la’anci mutanensa sosai, domin ba su kawo wa Ubangiji taimako ba, su kawo wa Ubangiji taimako a kan masu ƙarfi ba.’
Curse ye the land of Meroz, said the angel of the Lord: curse the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to help his most valiant men.
24 “Mafi albarka a ciki mata ta zama Yayel matar Heber Bakene, mafi albarka na mata masu zama a alfarma.
Blessed among women be Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, and blessed be she in her tent.
25 Ya nemi ruwa, ta kuwa ta ba shi madara; a ƙwaryar da ta dace da sarakuna ta kawo masa kindirmo.
He asked her water and she gave him milk, and offered him butter in a dish fit for princes.
26 Hannunta ya ɗauki turken tenti, da hannunta na dama ta ɗauko guduma. Ta bugi Sisera, ta ragargaza kansa, ta ragargaza ta huda kunnensa.
She put her left hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman’s hammer, and she struck Sisara, seeking in his head a place for the wound, and strongly piercing through his temples.
27 A ƙafafunta ya fāɗi, ya fāɗi; a can ya kwanta. A ƙafafunta ya fāɗi, ya fāɗi; a can ya fāɗi, matacce.
At her feet he fell: he fainted, and he died: he rolled before her feet, and he lay lifeless and wretched.
28 “Ta taga mahaifiyar Sisera ta leƙa; a bayan madogarar ƙofa ta yi ta ihu, ‘Me ya sa keken yaƙinsa ta daɗe ba tă dawo ba? Me ya sa dawakan keken yaƙinsa ba su dawo da wuri ba?’
His mother looked out at a window, and howled: and she spoke from the dining room: Why is his chariot so long in coming back? Why are the feet of his horses so slow?
29 Mafi hikima cikin’yan matanta suka amsa mata, tabbatacce, ta ci gaba ta ce wa kanta,
One that was wiser than the rest of his wives, returned this answer to her mother in law:
30 ‘Ba nema suke su raba ganima ba, yarinya guda ko biyu wa kowane mutum, riguna masu launi a matsayin ganima don Sisera, riguna masu ado, riguna masu ado sosai don wuyata, dukan wannan a matsayin ganima?’
Perhaps he is now dividing the spoils, and the fairest of the women is chosen out for him: garments of divers colours are given to Sisara for his prey, and furniture of different kinds is heaped together to adorn the necks.
31 “Ta haka bari dukan abokan gābanka su hallaka, ya Ubangiji! Amma bari waɗanda suke ƙaunarka su zama kamar rana sa’ad da ta fito da ƙarfinta.” Sa’an nan ƙasar ta sami zaman lafiya shekara arba’in.
So let all thy enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love thee shine, as the sun shineth in his rising. And the land rested for forty years.
