Mahukunta 5
1 A wannan rana ce Debora da Barak ɗan Abinowam suka rera wannan waƙa.
Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying:
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!
When men let grow their hair in Israel, when the people offer themselves willingly, bless ye 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, O ye princes; I, unto the LORD will I sing; I will sing praise 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.
LORD, when Thou didst go forth out of Seir, when Thou didst march out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, yea, the clouds dropped water.
5 Duwatsu suka girgizu a gaban Ubangiji, Wannan na Sinai, a gaban Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila.
The mountains quaked at the presence of the LORD, even yon Sinai at the presence 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 Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways ceased, and the travellers walked through byways.
7 Rayuwar ƙauye a Isra’ila ta daina, ta daina sai da ni, Debora, na taso, na taso mahaifiya a Isra’ila.
The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, until that thou didst arise, Deborah, that thou didst arise a mother 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.
They chose new gods; then was war in the gates; was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in 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 is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
10 “Ku da kuke hawan fararen jakuna, kuna zama a sirdin barguna, da ku da kuke tafiya a kan hanya, ku kula
Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on rich cloths, and ye that walk by the way, tell of it;
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.
Louder than the voice of archers, by the watering-troughs! there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts of His rulers in Israel. Then the people of the LORD went down to the gates.
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.’
Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song; arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13 “Sa’an nan waɗanda aka bari suka sauko zuwa wajen shugabanni; mutane na Ubangiji suka zo wurina tare da masu ƙarfi.
Then made He a remnant to have dominion over the nobles and the people; the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
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 came they whose root is in Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the marshal's staff.
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.
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; as was Issachar, so was Barak; into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. Among the divisions of Reuben there were great resolves of heart.
16 Don me kuka tsaya a wutar sansani don ku ji makiyaya suna kiran garkuna? A yankunan Ruben aka yi bincike zuciya sosai.
Why sattest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the pipings for the flocks? At the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
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.
Gilead abode beyond the Jordan; and Dan, why doth he sojourn by the ships? Asher dwelt at the shore of the sea, and abideth by its bays.
18 Mutanen Zebulun sun kasai da rayukansu; haka ma Naftali a bakin dāgā.
Zebulun is a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, and Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.
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, they fought; then fought the kings of Canaan, in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
20 Daga sama taurari suka yi faɗa, daga bakin tekuna suka yi yaƙi da Sisera.
They fought from heaven, the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 Kogin Kishon ya kwashe su, tsohon kogi, kogin Kishon. Ci gaba raina; ka ƙarfafa!
The brook Kishon swept them away, that ancient brook, the brook Kishon. O my soul, tread them down with strength.
22 Sa’an nan kofatan dawakai suka ƙwaƙula, suna sukuwa, haka dawakansa masu ƙarfi suke tafiya.
Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
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 Meroz', said the angel of the LORD, 'Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.'
24 “Mafi albarka a ciki mata ta zama Yayel matar Heber Bakene, mafi albarka na mata masu zama a alfarma.
Blessed above women shall Jael be, the wife of Heber the Kenite, above women in the tent shall she be blessed.
25 Ya nemi ruwa, ta kuwa ta ba shi madara; a ƙwaryar da ta dace da sarakuna ta kawo masa kindirmo.
Water he asked, milk she gave him; in a lordly bowl she brought him curd.
26 Hannunta ya ɗauki turken tenti, da hannunta na dama ta ɗauko guduma. Ta bugi Sisera, ta ragargaza kansa, ta ragargaza ta huda kunnensa.
Her hand she put to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote through his head, yea, she pierced and struck 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 sunk, he fell, he lay; at her feet he sunk, he fell; where he sunk, there he fell down dead.
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?’
Through the window she looked forth, and peered, the mother of Sisera, through the lattice: 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29 Mafi hikima cikin’yan matanta suka amsa mata, tabbatacce, ta ci gaba ta ce wa kanta,
The wisest of her princesses answer her, yea, she returneth answer to herself:
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?’
'Are they not finding, are they not dividing the spoil? A damsel, two damsels to every man; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments of embroidery, two dyed garments of broidery for the neck of every spoiler?'
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 perish all Thine enemies, O LORD; but they that love Him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
