1 I A la, mele aku la o Debora laua o Baraka, ke keiki a Abinoama, i ka i ana,
Then sang Deborah with Barak the son of Abino'am on that day, saying,
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 depravity had broken out in Israel, then did the people offer themselves willingly; [therefore] praise ye 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.
Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes; I—unto the Lord will I sing; 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.
Lord, at thy going forth out of Seir, at thy marching along out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, also the heavens dropped, also the clouds dropped water.
5 Hehee iho la na mauna imua o Iehova, O Sinai nei imua o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
The mountains melted away because of the presence of the Lord, yonder Sinai, because of the presence of 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 the son of 'Anath, in the days of Ja'el, the highways were unoccupied, and those who travelled on roads walked through crooked by-paths.
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.
Desolate were the open towns in Israel, they were desolate, until that I arose, Deborah, that I 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?
They chose new gods, then was there war in the gates: was there a shield seen or a spear 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 [belongeth] to the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people: praise ye 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.
Ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and ye who walk on the way, utter praise!
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.
[Urged on] by the voice of those who divide [the flocks] between the watering wells, there shall they rehearse the benefits of the Lord, the benefits toward his open towns in Israel; [for] now go down [again] to the gates the people of the Lord.
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, Deborah! awake, awake, utter a song! up, Barak, and lead away thy captives, son of Abino'am.
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 obtained dominion a few that had escaped for the nobles among the people—the Lord gave me dominion over 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.
They whose root is out of Ephraim were against 'Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, with thy armies; out of Machir came down lawgivers, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
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.
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; yea Issachar, the support of Barak; into the valley he hastened down in his train; [but] at the streams of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
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 didst thou sit among the sheepfolds to hear the bleatings of the flocks? At the streams of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
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.
Gil'ad abode beyond the Jordan; and Dan—why would he tarry in ships? Asher remained on the seashore, and abode near his bays.
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 is a people that jeoparded its life unto death, and Naphtali—on the high places of the [battle] field.
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.
There came kings, [and] fought, then fought the kings of Canaan, in Ta'anach by the waters of Megiddo: gain of money they took not away.
20 Kaua mai ko ka lani, Kaua mai na hoku ma ko lakou kuamoo, ia Sisera.
From heaven they fought—the stars in their courses fought against Sissera.
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 stream of Kishon swept them away, that ancient stream, the stream of Kishon: step along, O my soul, in victorious strength.
22 Alaila, hehi iho na manea o na lio, No ka wikiwiki, ka wikiwiki o ko lakou alii.
Then were crushed the hoofs of the horses, through the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
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 ye Meroz, saith the messenger of the Lord, yea, curse ye bitterly its inhabitants; because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among 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.
Blessed above [other] women shall be Ja'el the wife of Cheber the Kenite, above [other] women [dwelling] in the tent may she be blessed.
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.
Water he asked, milk she gave [him]: in a lordly dish she brought him cream.
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.
Her hand she put forth to the nail, and her right hand to the laborious workmen's hammer; and she hammered Sissera, she struck his head, and crushed and smote through 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.
Between her feet he bent, he fell, he lay; between her feet he bent, he fell: where he had bent, there he fell down, bereft of life.
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?
Out of the window looked and moaned the mother of Sissera, through the lattice, Why tarrieth his chariot so long in coming? why lag the wheels of his chariot?
29 I mai la na'lii wahine akamai, Nana no i hai mai ia ia iho;
The wise among her ladies answered her, she also returned a reply to 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?
Will they not find, —divide booty? one maiden, two maidens for every man, a booty of colored garments for Sissera, a booty of colored embroidered garments, colored, double-worked garments round the necks of the captives!
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.
Thus may perish all thy enemies, O Lord; but may those that love him be as the rising of the sun in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
