Jasi Vahere 5
1 Hagi ana knazupa Debora'ene Abinoamu nemofo Barakikea ha'ma vagaregekea amanage huke muse zagamera hu'na'e,
On that day, Deborah sang this song, along with Barak:
2 Ra Anumzamo ragi erisie! Israeli kva vahe'mo'za vugota hu'za hara hazageno, Israeli vahe'mo'zanena zamagesa ontahi antahi hu'za zamagranena hara hu'naze.
“When the leaders of the Israeli people really lead them, and the people follow them, [it is time to] praise Yahweh!
3 Kini vahe'mota nentahinkeno, kini vahe'tmimofo mofavremota antahio, Ra Anumzamofontega zagamera hugahue, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzantega zavena ahanenkeno knare ageru rugahie.
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 Ra Anumzamoka Seiri kumara atrenka nevunka, Idomu agupofima nevankeno'a mopamo'a momi'momi nehigeno, monafina hampona negigeno, hampopintira kora tagiramino ru'ne.
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 Ra Anumzamofo avuga agonaramimo'a momi nehigeno, Sainai agonamo'enena momi nehie. Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumza Kagra mani'nane.
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 Hagi Anati nemofo Samgari knafine, Jaeli knafinena vahe'mo'za koro hu'za ra kampina vano osu, osi' kampinke vano hu'naze.
“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 Israeli vahe kumatamimpina knare nomanizana omanege'za maniza neazage'na Deborana nagra Israeli vahe'mofona nezamarera kna hu'na efore hu'noe.
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 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'zama ru anumzama avaririzageno'a, rankuma'mofo kafantera ha' fore hige'za ha' hu'naze. Hu'neanagi magore huno 40 tauseni'a Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za hankone kevenena zamazampina e'ori'naze.
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 Israeli sondia vahete'ma vugota hu'naza kva vahe'mo'zama zamavesite'ma ha'ma ome nehaza vahetega nagu'amo'a vu'ne. Ra Anumzamo'a ra agi erisie!
I am thankful for the leaders and soldiers who volunteered [to fight]. Praise Yahweh [for them!]
10 Hagi efeke donki afu' agumpima vanoma nehaza vahe'ene frufru huno marerirfa tafete'ma nemanina vahe'ene, karankama vanoma nehana vahe'moka ama ana zankura antahio.
“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 Hagi timafi kerire mani'ne'za zavenama nehe'za Ra Anumzamo'ene Israeli vahe'mo'zanema fatgo kazigati'ma ha'ma azeri agatere'naza zanku'ma zagame'ma nehazana antahiho. Hagi Ra Anumzamofo vahe'mo'za rankuma'mofo kafante urami'naze.
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 Otio, otio, Deboraga! Otio, otio, zagame huo! Otio, Barakiga, Abinoamu nemofoge, kinama hu'naza vahera zamavarenka vuo.
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 Manizama'amo'za kva vahe'zamine erimago hu'za erami'naze. Ra Anumzamofo vahe'mo'za nagri kaziga ante'za hanavenentake ha' vahera hara huzmante'naze.
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 Hagi Efraemi naga'mo'za Ameleki vahe mopafinti neazage'za Benzameni naga'mo'za zamavariri'za hatera erami'naze. Hate'ma vugotama hu kva vahe'tmina, Makiri nagapinti e'naze. Zebuluni nagapintira hate'ma ugotama hu vahe'mofo zantamima erino vu vahe e'naze.
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 Hagi Isaka nagapinti ugagota kva vahe'tmimo'za Deborane Barakine zamagefi vu'naze. Baraki amefi zamavunente'za agupofina vu'naze. Hianagi Rubeni naga'mo'za tare antahintahi nehu'za ovu'naze.
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 Nahigeta sipisipi afu naga'mofo amu'nompina kazara osu' mani'naze. Sipisipi afu kva vahe'mo'zama hogema hanazama'a antahinakupi? Tamage Rubeni naga'mo'za razampi antahintahi hakarea nehaze.
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 Gati naga'mo'za Jodani timofo zage hanati kaziga mani'naze. Na'a hige'za Dani naga'mo'za ventenena mani'naze? Asa naga'mo'za kaza osu zamagraku hageri ankenare mani'naze.
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 Zebuluni naga'mo'za frizankura ontahi'za hanavetiza hara hu'naze. Naftali naga'mo'zanena ha'mo'ma tevenefama nehifina zamavufagagura ontahi'za hara hu'naze.
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 Hagi Kenani kini vahe'mo'za Tanaki kumate e'za Megido tinkenafi hara hu'nazanagi, magore hu'za silva fenona eri'za ovu'naze.
“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 Hagi monafinti ofumo'za hara hunte'naze. Zamagrama vanoma nehaza kamofo avaririza Siserana hara hunte'naze.
[It was as though] the stars in the sky fought for us [and as though] those stars in their paths fought against Sisera.
21 Kisoni timo'a ti hageno zamavareno vu'ne, Kisoni tina korapa me'nere me'nea tine. Nagra korora osu hankaveti'na vugahue.
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 Hagi Sisera hosi afutamimo'za vagri vagri hu'za zamagareti mopa rentunkafiza vu'naze.
The hooves of the horses of Sisera’s [army] pounded the ground. Those powerful horses kept galloping along.
23 Hagi Ra Anumzamofo ankeromo'a amanage hu'ne, Merosi kumara atrenkeno kazusifi meno. Maka ana kumapima mani'naza vahera kazusifi manigahaze. Na'ankure zamagra e'za Ra Anumzamofona aza hu'za hara osu'naze. Zamagra e'za Ra Anumzamofona aza hu'za hankave ha' vahetmina hara huozmante'naze.
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 Maka a'nefintira Kin kumate ne' Heberi nenaro Jaeli rama'a asomura erigahie. Seli nompima nemaniza a'neramina zamagatereno, agra ugota asomura erigahie.
“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 Sisera'ma tinku'ma antahima negegeno'a Jaeli'a knarezantfa huno marerirfa kapufi mememofo amirima eri kragemafente'naza amirina tagimi'ne.
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 Ana a'mo'a hoga azantetira antegantuteno seli noma avazuhumpi huno anakinte azota e'nerino, tamaga kaziga azana antegantuteno hama kano erino, Siserana to'mamuna runagino ana zotanura ahe'ne.
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 Sisera'a kuraramperami'ne, agra traka huno mase'ne, agra kaza osu mase'ne, agra trakama huno masere frinte'ne.
He collapsed and fell dead at her feet.
28 Sisera nerera'a nomofo zahoma eri avo kampinti nege. Agra Sisera'ma esigu nomofo zahoma eri avo kampinti negeno amanage hu'ne. Na'ahigeno karisi'amo'a ame hunora nome? Na'ahigeta agri karisimo'ma bagri bagrima huno e'nia zamofo agasasa nontahune?
“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 Knare antahintahima nemia a'mo'a kenona hunte'ne. E'i ana a'mo'a agra'a kenona hu'ne.
One wise woman replied to her, and she [kept consoling herself by] repeating those words:
30 Ha'ma hu'za eri'za kumapinti feno refko nehugahaze. Mago'mago sontia vahe'mo'za mago magoro tare tarero hu'za a'neramina nevare'za, knare'ma huno avasesema'amo'ma hu'nea kukena nagri su'ane, Sisera su'ane megahie.
‘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 E'igu Ra Anumzamoka ha'ma aregantesamo'za Siserama friaza hu'za frisaze! Hianagi iza'zo kavesigantesamo'za zagema hanatino hanave'anema remasama hiankna hugahaze. E'ina hazageno 40'a kafufina ha'zana omanege'za Israeli vahe'mo'za zamarimpa fru hu'za mani'naze.
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!
