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 leaders take the lead in Israel, when the people gladly volunteer for war— we praise 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.
Listen, you kings! Pay attention, you leaders! I, I will sing to Yahweh; I will sing praises to Yahweh, 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.
Yahweh, when you went out from Seir, when you marched from Edom, the earth shook, and the skies also trembled; also 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 face of Yahweh; even Mount Sinai quaked before the face of Yahweh, 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 main roads were abandoned, and those who walked only used the winding 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 were few rural people in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose—arose as 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, there was fighting at the city gates and yet there were no shields or spears seen 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 goes out to the commanders of Israel, along with the people who gladly volunteered— we bless Yahweh for them!
10 E, ka poe holo ma na hoki keokeo, Ka poe noho e hooponopono ana, Na mea hele ma na alanui, E noonoo oukou.
Think about this—you who ride on white donkeys sitting on rugs for saddles, and you who walk along the road.
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.
Hear the voices of those who sing at the watering places. There they tell again of Yahweh's righteous deeds, and the righteous actions of his warriors in Israel. Then the people of Yahweh went down to the city 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, Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Get up, Barak, and capture your prisoners, you 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 Yahweh came down to me with the warriors.
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 came from Ephraim, whose root is in Amalek; the people of Benjamin followed you. From Machir commanders came down, and from Zebulun those who carry an officer's staff.
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.
My princes in Issachar were with Deborah; and Issachar was with Barak rushing after him into the valley under his command. Among the clans of Reuben there were great searchings 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 did you sit between the fireplaces, listening to the shepherds playing their pipes for their flocks? As for the clans 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.
Gilead stayed on the other side of the Jordan; and Dan, why did he wander about on ships? Asher remained on the coast and lived close to 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 tribe who would risk their lives to the point of death, and Naphtali, also, on the field of battle.
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.
The kings came, they fought; the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. But they took away no silver as plunder.
20 Kaua mai ko ka lani, Kaua mai na hoku ma ko lakou kuamoo, ia Sisera.
From heaven the stars fought, from their paths across the heavens 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 Kishon River swept them away, that old river, the Kishon River. March on my soul, be strong!
22 Alaila, hehi iho na manea o na lio, No ka wikiwiki, ka wikiwiki o ko lakou alii.
Then came the sound of horses' hooves— galloping, the galloping of his 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 Meroz!' says the angel of Yahweh. 'Surely curse its inhabitants!— because they did not come to help Yahweh— to help Yahweh in the battle against the mighty warriors.'
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.
Jael is blessed more than all other women, Jael (the wife of Heber the Kenite), she is more blessed than all the women who live in tents.
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.
The man asked for water, and she gave him milk; she brought him butter in a dish fit for princes.
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 put her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workman's hammer; with the hammer she struck Sisera, she crushed his head. She smashed his skull into pieces when she pierced him through the side of his head.
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.
He collapsed between her feet, he fell and he lay there. Between her feet he fell limp. The place he collapsed is where he was violently killed.
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 a window she looked— the mother of Sisera looked through the lattice and she called out in sadness, 'Why has it taken his chariot so long to come? Why have the hoofbeats of the horses that pull his chariots been delayed?'
29 I mai la na'lii wahine akamai, Nana no i hai mai ia ia iho;
Her wisest princesses replied, and she gave herself the same answer:
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?
'Have they not found and divided up the plunder? —A womb, two wombs for every man; the plunder of dyed fabric for Sisera, the plunder of dyed fabric embroidered, two pieces of dyed fabric embroidered for the necks of those who plunder?'
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, Yahweh! But your friends be like the sun when it rises in its might.” Then the land had peace for forty years.
