Lunakanawai 5
1 I A la, mele aku la o Debora laua o Baraka, ke keiki a Abinoama, i ka i ana,
On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:
2 No ke alakai koa ana o na'lii iloko o ka Iseraela, No ka hooikaika nui ana o na kanaka, E hoomaikai ia Iehova.
“When the princes take the lead in Israel, when the people volunteer, bless the LORD.
3 E hoolohe mai, e na'lii, E haliu mai i pepeiao, e na mea nani; Owau, ia Iehova no wau e mele aku ai: E oli aku au ia Iehova i ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
Listen, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.
4 E Iehova, i kou puka ana iwaho o Seira, I kou hele ana aku, mai ka papu aku o Edoma, Naue ae la ka honua, kulu ka lani, Nakulukulu no hoi na ao i ka wai.
O LORD, when You went out from Seir, when You marched from the land of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens poured out rain, and the clouds poured down water.
5 Hehee iho la na mauna imua o Iehova, O Sinai nei imua o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
The mountains quaked before the LORD, the One of Sinai, before the LORD, the God of Israel.
6 I na la o Samegara, ke keiki a Anata, I na la o Iaela, oki loa iho la na huakai hele, O ka poe i hele i ke alanui, hele lakou ma na ala malu
In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were deserted and the travelers took the byways.
7 Oki iho la na luna, Oki lakou iloko o ka Iseraela, A ku iluna au, o Debora nei, Ku mai la au, he makuwahine iloko o ka Iseraela.
Life in the villages ceased; it ended in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose, a mother in Israel.
8 Olioli lakou i na'kua hou, Alaila, he kaua ma na puka o ka pa; Ua ikea anei ka palekaua, a me ka pololu, I waena o na kanaha tausani o ka Iseraela?
When they chose new gods, then war came to their gates. Not a shield or spear was found among forty thousand in Israel.
9 Aia no ko'u naau me na luna o ka Iseraela, Me ka poe i hooikaika wale iwaena o na kanaka. E hoomaikai ia Iehova.
My heart is with the princes of Israel, with the volunteers among the people. Bless the LORD!
10 E, ka poe holo ma na hoki keokeo, Ka poe noho e hooponopono ana, Na mea hele ma na alanui, E noonoo oukou.
You who ride white donkeys, who sit on saddle blankets, and you who travel the road, ponder
11 Me ka uwalaau ole o ka poe e puunaue ana i ka waiwai pio ma na holowaawai, Ilaila, e hookani lakou i na lanakila ana o Iehova; Na lanakila ana o kona poe luna maloko o ka Iseraela: Alaila, e iho no na kanaka o Iehova, i na puka o ka pa.
the voices of the singers at the watering places. There they shall recount the righteous acts of the LORD, the righteous deeds of His villagers in Israel. Then the people of the LORD went down to the gates:
12 E ala, e ala, e Debora, E ala, e ala, e oli i ka oli: E ku mai, e Baraka, e alakai pio aku i kou poe pio, e ke keiki a Abinoama.
‘Awake, awake, O Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, O Barak, and take hold of your captives, O son of Abinoam!’
13 O ka mea i pakele, ua hoolanakila mai kela ia ia maluna o na mea kiekie o kanaka: Ua hoolanakila mai o Iehova ia ia, maluna o ka poe koa.
Then the survivors came down to the nobles; the people of the LORD came down to me against the mighty.
14 Mawaena mai o Eperaima, ke kumu i ku e i ko Ameleka; Mahope ou, e Beniamina, maloko o kou poe kanaka; Mai Makira mai i iho mai ai na luna, A mai Zebuluna mai ka poe i paa ai ka ihe o ka alihikaua.
Some came from Ephraim, with their roots in Amalek; Benjamin came with your people after you. The commanders came down from Machir, the bearers of the marshal’s staff from Zebulun.
15 Me Debora no na'lii o Isakara, O Isakara no, a pela no o Baraka. Ma kona wawae ia i hoounaia'ku ai i ke awawa. Ma na kahawai o Reubena, nui loa ka noonoo ana o ka naau.
The princes of Issachar were with Deborah, and Issachar was with Barak, rushing into the valley at his heels. In the clans of Reuben there was great indecision.
16 No ke aha la oe i noho ai ma na pa holoholona, E hoolohe aku i ka uwe ana o na hipa? Ma na kahawai o Reubena, nui loa ka huli ana o ka naau.
Why did you sit among the sheepfolds to hear the whistling for the flocks? In the clans of Reuben there was great indecision.
17 Noho aku la ko Gileada mao aku o Ioredane. No ke aha la i noho ai ka Dana ma na moku? Noho no ka Asera ma kahakai, Ma kona awa lulu kona noho ana.
Gilead remained beyond the Jordan. Dan, why did you linger by the ships? Asher stayed at the coast and remained in his harbors.
18 He poe kanaka ka Zebuluna, i hoowahawaha i ko lakou ola i ka make, O ka Napetali kekahi, ma na puu o ke kula.
Zebulun was a people who risked their lives; Naphtali, too, on the heights of the battlefield.
19 Hele mai na'lii, a kaua, Alaila, kaua na'lii o Kanaana Ma Taanaka, ma na wai o Megido; Aole lakou i lawe i ke kala i mea waiwai.
Kings came and fought; then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, but they took no plunder of silver.
20 Kaua mai ko ka lani, Kaua mai na hoku ma ko lakou kuamoo, ia Sisera.
From the heavens the stars fought; from their courses they fought against Sisera.
21 Na ka muliwai o Kisona lakou i lawe aku, O ka muliwai kahiko, ka muliwai o Kisona. E kuu uhane, ua hele oe me ka ikaika nui.
The River Kishon swept them away, the ancient river, the River Kishon. March on, O my soul, in strength!
22 Alaila, hehi iho na manea o na lio, No ka wikiwiki, ka wikiwiki o ko lakou alii.
Then the hooves of horses thundered— the mad galloping of his stallions.
23 E hoino aku ia Meroza, Wahi a ka anela o Iehova, Me ka hoino nui e hoiuo ai i ka poe i noho ilaila; No ka mea, aole lakou i hele e kokua mamuli o Iehova, E kokua ia Iehova imua o ka poe ikaika,
‘Curse Meroz,’ says the angel of the LORD. ‘Bitterly curse her inhabitants; for they did not come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty.’
24 Mamua o na wahine, e pomaikai ana o Iaela, Ka wahine a Hebera no ko Kena; E pomaikai ana ia mamua o na wahine iloko o na halelewa.
Most blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, most blessed of tent-dwelling women.
25 Nonoi mai o [Sisera] i ka wai, Haawi aku oia i ka waiu; O ka waiu paa kana i lawe mai ai ma ka ipu nani.
He asked for water, and she gave him milk. In a magnificent bowl she brought him curds.
26 Kau aku la oia i kona lima ma ke kui, O kona lima akau hoi ma ka hamare o ka mea paahana. Hahau ae la ia Sisera, hahau io no i kona poo, Kui aku la oia, a hou aku no i kona maha.
She reached for the tent peg, her right hand for the workman’s hammer. She struck Sisera and crushed his skull; she shattered and pierced his temple.
27 Mawaena o kona mau wawae ia i kulou ai, Hina no ia a moe iho la ilalo; Mawaena o kona mau wawae ia i kulou ai, a hina iho la; Ma kahi ana i kulou ai, malaila ia i hina make ai.
At her feet he collapsed, he fell, there he lay still; at her feet he collapsed, he fell; where he collapsed, there he fell dead.
28 Ma ka puka makani i hakapono aku ai ka makuwahine o Sisera, Ma ka puka olu oia i hea aku ai, No ke aha la i hookaulua kona kaakaua ke hele mai? Ua lohi na pokaka o kona mau kaakaua i ke aha?
Sisera’s mother looked through the window; she peered through the lattice and lamented: ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? What has delayed the clatter of his chariots?’
29 I mai la na'lii wahine akamai, Nana no i hai mai ia ia iho;
Her wisest ladies answer; indeed she keeps telling herself,
30 Aole anei i loaa ia lakou? Aole anei lakou i puunaue i ka waiwai pio? Pakahi, papalua paha na ke kane ke kaikamahine? No Sisera ka waiwai pio onionio, Ka waiwai pio onionio i humuia, Ka mea i humu onionio ia no na a-i o ka poe lanakila?
‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoil— a girl or two for each warrior, a plunder of dyed garments for Sisera, the spoil of embroidered garments for the neck of the looter?’
31 Pela e make ai kou poe enemi a pau, e Iehova, Aka, o ka poe aloha ia oe, e like ae lakou me ka la e puka ana ma kona ikaika. Hoomaha iho la ka aina, i hookahi kanaha makahiki.
So may all your enemies perish, O LORD! But may those who love You shine like the sun at its brightest.” And the land had rest for forty years.
