Uk-ukom 5
1 Iti dayta nga aldaw, kinanta ni Debora ken Barak a putot a lalaki ni Abinoam daytoy a kanta:
On that day, Deborah sang this song, along with Barak:
2 “Idi nangidaulo dagiti mangidadaulo ti Israel, idi situtulok a nakigubat dagiti tattao—idaydayawtayo ni Yahweh!
“When the leaders of the Israeli people really lead them, and the people follow them, [it is time to] praise Yahweh!
3 Dumngegkayo, dakayo nga ar-ari! Agdengngegkayo, dakayo a mangidadaulo! Siak, agkantaak kenni Yahweh; Agkantaak iti pangdaydayaw kenni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel.
Listen, you kings! Pay attention, you leaders! I will sing to Yahweh. With this song I will praise Yahweh, the God we Israelis worship.
4 O Yahweh, idi rimmuarka manipud Seir, idi nagnaka manipud Edom, naggun-gon ti daga, ken nagpigerger met dagiti tangatang; nagibuyat met iti danum dagiti ulep.
O Yahweh, when you came from Seir, when you marched from that land [better known as] Edom, the earth shook, and rain poured down from the skies.
5 Naggin-gined dagiti bantay iti sangoanan ti rupa ni Yahweh; naggin-gined uray ti Bantay Sinai iti sangoanan ti rupa ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel.
The mountains shook when you came, just like Sinai Mountain shook when you appeared there, because you are Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship.
6 Kadagiti al-aldaw ni Samgar (putot a lalaki ni Anat), kadagiti al-aldaw ni Jael, napanawan dagiti kangrunaan a daldalan, ket magna laeng dagiti agdaldaliasat kadagiti nalikaw a pagnaan.
“When Shamgar was our leader and when Jael ruled us, [we were afraid to walk on] the main roads; instead, caravans of travelers walked on winding [less traveled] roads [to avoid being molested].
7 Awanen dagiti taga-away idiay Israel, agingga a siak, a ni Debora, nangidauloak—maysa nga ina ti nangidaulo iti Israel!
People left their small villages, [and moved into the walled cities] until I, Deborah, became their leader. [I became like] a mother to the Israeli people.
8 Pinilida dagiti baro a dios, ken adda panagraranget kadagiti ruangan ti siudad; awan iti kalasag wenno gayang a makita kadagiti uppat a pulo a ribu iti Israel.
When the Israeli people [abandoned Yahweh and] chose new gods, enemies attacked the gates of the cities, and then [they took away] the shields and spears from 40,000 Israeli soldiers. Not one shield or spear was left.
9 Adda ti pusok kadagiti pangulo ti Israel, kasta met kadagiti tattao a situtulok a nakigubat—idaydayawtayo ni Yahweh gapu kadakuada!
I am thankful for the leaders and soldiers who volunteered [to fight]. Praise Yahweh [for them!]
10 Panunotenyo daytoy—dakayo nga agsaksakay kadagiti puraw nga asno nga agtugtugaw kadagiti napuskol a lupot iti silyeta, ken dakayo a magmagna iti dalan.
“You wealthy people who ride on donkeys, sitting on nice padded saddles, and you people who just walk on the road, you all listen!
11 Denggenyo dagiti timek dagiti mangbingbingay kadagiti karnero kadagiti disso a paginuman. Ibagada manen sadiay dagiti nalinteg nga ar-aramid ni Yahweh, ken dagiti nalinteg a tigtignay dagiti mannakigubatna iti Israel. Kalpasanna, simmalog dagiti tattao ni Yahweh kadagiti ruangan iti siudad.
Listen to the voices of the singers who gather at the places where [the animals drink] water. They tell about how Yahweh acted righteously when he enabled the Israeli warriors to conquer [their enemies]. “Yahweh’s people marched down to the gates of our city.
12 Agriingka, agriingka, Debora! Agriingka, agriingka, agkantaka! Tumakderka Barak, ket tiliwem dagiti baludmo, sika a putot a lalaki ni Abinoam.
The people came to my house and shouted, ‘Deborah, wake up! Wake up and start singing!’ They also shouted, ‘Barak, son of Abinoam, get up, and capture our enemies!’
13 Ket simmalog dagiti nakalasat kadagiti natakneng—simmalog dagiti tattao ni Yahweh kaniak manipud kadagiti mannakigubat.
Later, some of the Israeli people came down [from Tabor Mountain] with us, their leaders. These men who belonged to Yahweh came with me to fight their strong enemies.
14 Naggapuda idiay Efraim, isuda dagiti adda ti ramutna iti Amalek; sinurotdakayo dagiti tattao ti Benjamin. Simmalog dagiti pangulo manipud Makir, ken simmalog manipud Zabulon dagiti mangaw-awit iti sarukod ti ofisial.
Some came from the tribe descended from Ephraim. They came from land that once belonged to the descendants of Amalek. And men from the tribe descended from Benjamin followed them. Troops from the group descended from Makir also came down, and officers from the tribe descended from Zebulun came down, carrying staffs.
15 Ken kadua ni Debora dagiti prinsipek manipud Issacar; ket kimmuyog ti Issacar kenni Barak nga agdardarasda a simmurot kenkuana iti tanap iti panangidaulona. Adda dakkel a panangsukimat iti puso kadagiti tribu ti Ruben.
Leaders from the tribes descended from Issachar joined Barak and me. They followed Barak, rushing down into the valley. But men from the tribe descended from Reuben could not decide whether or not to join us.
16 Apay nga agtugtugawka iti nagbaetan dagiti paginudoan, a dumdumngeg iti panangtokar dagiti agpaspastor kadagiti plautada para kadagiti arbanda? Kadagiti met puli ti Ruben, adda dakkel a panangsukimat iti puso.
Why did you men stay at your sheep pens, waiting to hear the shepherds whistle for their flocks of sheep to come to the pens? Men in the tribe descended from Reuben could not decide whether they would join us to fight our enemies, or not.
17 Nagtalinaed ti Galaad iti bangir a paset ti Jordan; ket ni Dan, apay a nagal-alla kadagiti barko? Nagtalinaed ti Aser iti igid ti baybay ket nagnaed iti asideg dagiti sangladanna.
Similarly, the men living in the Gilead area stayed at home, east of the Jordan River. And the men from the tribe descended from Dan, why did they stay home? The tribe descended from Asher sat by the seashore. They stayed in their coves.
18 Ti Zabulon ket tribu a nakasagana a mangipusta iti biagda nga uray matayda ken kasta met ti Neftali iti paggugubatan.
But men from the tribe descended from Zebulun risked (their lives/were ready to die fighting) on the battlefield, and men descended from Naphtali were ready to do that, also.
19 Immay ken nakiranget dagiti ari, ket nakiranget dagiti ari ti Canaan, idiay Taanac iti asideg dagiti dandanum ti Megiddo. Ngem awan sinamsamda nga uray maysa a pirak.
“The kings of Canaan fought us at Taanach, near the springs in Megiddo [Valley]. [But since they did not defeat us], they did not carry away any silver or other treasures from the battle.
20 Nakiranget dagiti bituen manipud langit, manipud kadagiti dalanda kadagiti langit, nakirangetda maibusor kenni Sisera.
[It was as though] the stars in the sky fought for us [and as though] those stars in their paths fought against Sisera.
21 Inyanud ida ti Karayan Kison, dayta a nabayagen a karayan, a Karayan Kison. Magnaka O kararuak, bumilegka!
The Kishon River swept them away— that river that has been there for ages. I will tell myself to be brave and continue marching on.
22 Ket dumalagudog ti uni ti kuko dagiti kabalio—dumalagudog, ti dalagudog dagiti mamaingelna.
The hooves of the horses of Sisera’s [army] pounded the ground. Those powerful horses kept galloping along.
23 'Ilunodyo ti Meroz!' kunkuna ti anghel ni Yahweh. 'Siguradoenyo nga ilunodyo dagiti agnanaed iti daytoy! —gapu ta saanda nga immay timmulong kenni Yahweh—tapno tumulong kenni Yahweh iti pannakigubat maibusor kadagiti nabileg a mannakigubat.'
The angel sent by Yahweh said, ‘Curse the people of Meroz [town], because they did not come to help Yahweh to defeat the mighty warriors [of Canaan].’
24 Ad-adda a nabendisionan ni Jael ngem kadagiti amin a dadduma pay a babbai, ni Jael (nga asawa ni Heber a Kineo), ad-adda a nabendisionan isuna ngem kadagiti amin a babbai nga agnaed kadagiti tolda.
“But God is very pleased with Jael, the wife of Heber from the Ken people-group. He is more pleased with her than with all the other women who live in tents.
25 Dimmawat ti lalaki iti danum, ket inikkanna isuna iti gatas; inikkanna isuna iti mantikilia a naikarga iti mallukong a maikari kadagiti prinsipe.
Sisera asked for some water, but Jael gave him some milk. She brought him some yogurt/curds in a bowl that was suitable for kings.
26 Inkabilna ti imana iti pasok ti tolda, ken ti makannawan nga imana iti martilio ti agtrabtrabaho; babaen iti martilio, dinangranna ni Sisera, rinumekna ti ulona. Binurakna ti bangabangana idi tinudokna a simmalput iti pispisna.
Then, [when he was asleep], she reached for a tent peg with her left hand, and she reached for a hammer with her right hand. She hit Sisera hard with it and crushed his head. She pounded the tent peg right through his head.
27 Napasag isuna iti nagbaetan dagiti sakana, natuang isuna ket nagidda sadiay. Iti nagbaetan dagiti sakana ti nagkapsutanna. Ti lugar a nakapasaganna ket isu ti siraranggas a nakatayannna.
He collapsed and fell dead at her feet.
28 Timman-aw isuna iti tawa—kimmita iti rehas ti tawa ti ina ni Sisera ket sililiday nga immawag, 'Apay a nagbayag a sumangpet ti karuahena? Apay a naitantan ti dalagudog dagiti kabalio a mangguyguyod kadagiti karuahena?'
“Sisera’s mother looked out from her window. She waited for him to return. She said, ‘Why is he taking so long to come home in his chariot? Why don’t I hear the sound of the wheels of his chariot?’
29 Simmungbat dagiti kasisiriban a prinsesana, ngem isu met laeng ti insungbatna iti bagina:
One wise woman replied to her, and she [kept consoling herself by] repeating those words:
30 'Saanda kadi pay a nabirokan ken nabingbingay ti nasamsam? —Maysa nga aanakan, dua nga aanakan para iti tunggal lalaki; ti natinaan a lupot a nasamsam para kenni Sisera, ti nasamsam a natinaan a naburdaan a lupot, dua a pidaso ti natinaan a naburdaan a lupot para iti tengnged dagiti nagsamsam?'
‘Perhaps they are dividing up the things and the people they captured after the battle. Each soldier will get one or two women. Sisera will get some beautiful robes, and some beautiful embroidered robes for me.’
31 Mapukaw koma ngarud amin dagiti kabusormo, O Yahweh! Ngem agbalin koma dagiti mangayat kenkuana a kasla iti init no agsingising daytoy iti pigsana.” Ket naaddaan iti kapia ti daga iti uppat a pulo a tawen.
But [that is not what happened]! Yahweh, I hope that all your enemies will die as Sisera did! And I desire that all those who love you will be as strong as the sun when it rises!
