Lunakanawai 5
1 I A la, mele aku la o Debora laua o Baraka, ke keiki a Abinoama, i ka i ana,
Then sang Deborah, and Barak, son of Abinoam, —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.
For the leadership of leaders in Israel, For the volunteering of the people, —Bless ye Yahweh!
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, ye kings! Give ear, ye princes! I, unto Yahweh, —I, will sing, Will make melody to Yahweh, 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 Yahweh! When thou didst come forth out of Seir, When thou didst march along out of the field of Edom, Earth, trembled, Heaven also, poured forth, —Yea, dark clouds, poured forth waters;
5 Hehee iho la na mauna imua o Iehova, O Sinai nei imua o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela.
From, mountains, came down streams In presence of Yahweh, —From this Sinai, In presence of Yahweh, 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 roads were forsaken, —and, the frequenters of highways, betook them to roundabout 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.
There was a failure of rulers, in Israel, a failure, —until I arose, a 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?
They chose gods that were new, Then, —war at the gates! Was there, a shield, to be 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 [saith] —for the governors of Israel, for the volunteers among the people, Bless ye Yahweh!
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 on carpets, and ye that walk upon the road, speak!
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.
In the place of the noise of bowmen among the wells, there, laud ye—the righteous acts of Yahweh, the righteous acts of his rule over Israel. Then, had come down to the gates the people of Yahweh.
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 words of song, —Arise! Barak, and bind fast thy 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, came down a remnant to the nobles—a people, —Yahweh, came down with 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.
Out of Ephraim, [came down] they whose root was in Amalek, After thee, Benjamin, among thy tribes, —Out of Machir, had come down governors, And, out of Zebulun, such as bear aloft the staff of the marshal;
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, my princes in Issachar, were with Deborah, yea, Issachar, was the support of Barak, Into the vale rushed they forth at his feet. Among the divisions of Reuben, great were the resolves of the 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.
Wherefore abodes thou among the folds? To hear the mocking of the flocks? The divisions of Reuben, had great counsellings 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.
Gilead, beyond the Jordan, took his rest, but, Dan, wherefore remained he with the ships? Asher, abode by the shore of the seas, and, by his creeks, must needs rest.
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—a people that scorned their souls unto death; and, Naphtali, —upon the heights of the 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.
On came kings, they fought, Then, fought the kings of Canaan, In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo, —Plunder of silver, they took not away!
20 Kaua mai ko ka lani, Kaua mai na hoku ma ko lakou kuamoo, ia Sisera.
From heaven, was the battle fought, —The stars in their courses, 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 torrent of Kishon, swept them away, the torrent of olden times, the torrent of Kishon! Let my soul march along, with victorious strength!
22 Alaila, hehi iho na manea o na lio, No ka wikiwiki, ka wikiwiki o ko lakou alii.
Then, stamped hoofs of horses, With the gallopings, gallopings of his mighty steeds.
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 Yahweh, Curse ye with a curse, the inhabitants thereof, —because they came not in to the help of Yahweh, to the help of Yahweh, 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.
Blessed above women, shall be Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite, —Above women in the tent, 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, —In a bowl for nobles, presented 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, to the tent-pin, put she forth, and, her right hand, to the toilers’ mallet, —Then smote she Sisera, She shattered his head, Yea she split open and pierced through his temples:
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 bowed—he fell, he lay, —Between her feet, he bowed—he fell, Where he bowed, There, he fell—destroyed!
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?
Through the window, looked out and shrilly cried, The mother of Sisera, through the lattice, —Why is his chariot ashamed to come? Why delay the wheels of his chariot?
29 I mai la na'lii wahine akamai, Nana no i hai mai ia ia iho;
The wise ladies, her princesses, responded, —Nay! she, returned answer 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?
Is it not They keep finding—dividing spoil, One damsel, two damsels, to every several hero, Spoil, of divers coloured raiment for Sisera, Spoil, of divers coloured raiment, embroidered, Coloured raiment richly embroidered, on the necks of them who are taken as spoil?
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, perish all thine enemies, O Yahweh, But be, they who love him, as the going forth of the sun, in his might! And the land had rest forty years.
