Mwet Nununku 5
1 In len sac Deborah ac Barak, wen natul Abinoam, yuk on soko inge:
In that day, Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, sang out, saying:
2 Kaksakin LEUM GOD! Mwet Israel elos akola na, Ac sifacna eisalosyang in wi mweun.
“All you of Israel who have willingly offered your lives to danger, bless the Lord!
3 Porongo, O kowos tokosra! Lohang, kowos mwet leum! Nga ac on ac srital ke mwe on Nu sin LEUM GOD, su God lun Israel.
Listen, O kings! Pay attention, O princes! It is I, it is I, who will sing to the Lord. I will sing a psalm to the Lord, the God of Israel!
4 LEUM GOD, ke kom tuku liki Fineol Seir, Ke kom tuku liki facl Edom, Faclu kusrusr, ac af kahkla inkusrao me. Aok, kof uh tuku in pukunyeng uh me.
O Lord, when you departed from Seir, and you crossed through the regions of Edom, the earth and the heavens were moved, and the clouds rained down water.
5 Eol uh kusrusr ye mutun LEUM GOD lun Sinai, Ye mutun LEUM GOD lun Israel.
The mountains flowed away before the face of the Lord, and Sinai, before the face of the Lord God of Israel.
6 In len lal Shamgar, wen natul Anath, In pacl lal Jael, Wanginla un mwet wi ap lalos sifil fufahsryesr in acn se inge, Supuseni mwet forfor, ac elos ut na inkanek srisrik wut uh.
In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the paths were quiet. And whoever entered by them, walked along rough byways.
7 Deborah, wanginla mwet muta fin acn lun mwet Israel. Acn inge oanna wangin koano nwe ke na kom tuku, Ac kom tuku oana sie nina nu sin Israel.
The strong men ceased, and they rested in Israel, until Deborah rose up, until a mother rose up in Israel.
8 Na sifilpa oasr mweun in acn we Ke mwet Israel elos sifil sulela in oasr god sasu lalos. Inmasrlon tausin angngaul mwet mweun lun Israel, Ya oasr mwet utuk mwe loeyuk ku osra?
The Lord chose new wars, and he himself overturned the gates of the enemies. A shield with a spear was not seen among the forty thousand of Israel.
9 Insiuk engan sin mwet kol lun un mwet mweun lun Israel, Ac selos su sifacna eisalosyang in mweun. Kaksakin LEUM GOD!
My heart loves the leaders of Israel. All you who, of your own free will, offered yourselves during a crisis, bless the Lord.
10 Srumun ma inge, kowos su muta fin donkey fasrfasr, Su muta fin mwe loeyuk wolana, Ac kowos su fahsr inkanek uh.
You who ride upon donkeys laboring, and you who sit in judgment, and you who walk along the way, speak out.
11 Porongo! Wowon lun un mwet su muta raunela luf in kof uh, Elos srumun ke kutangla lun LEUM GOD, Ac ke kutangla lun mwet Israel. Na mwet lun LEUM GOD elos fahsr oatui liki siti selos.
Where the chariots were struck together, and the army of the enemies was choked, in that place, let the justices of the Lord be described, and let his clemency be for the brave of Israel. Then did the people of the Lord descend to the gates, and obtain leadership.
12 Fahsr nu meet, Deborah, fahsrot na! Fahsrot, yuk soko on ac fahsr nu meet! Fahsrot, Barak wen natul Abinoam, Pwanuloswot mwet sruoh lom an!
Rise up, rise up, O Deborah! Rise up, rise up, and speak a canticle! Rise up, Barak, and seize your captives, O son of Abinoam.
13 Na mwet suwoswos su lula elos oatui nu yurin mwet kol lalos; Pa inge mwet lun LEUM GOD su tuku nu yorol ac akola nu ke mweun.
The remnants of the people were saved. The Lord contended with the strong.
14 Mwet inge tuku Ephraim me nu infahlfal uh, Elos fahsr tukun mwet in sruf lal Benjamin. Mwet kol elos tuku Machir me, Mwet leum lun mwet mweun elos tuku Zebulun me.
Out of Ephraim, he destroyed those with Amalek, and after him, out of Benjamin, those of your people, O Amalek. From Machir, there descended leaders, and from Zebulun, those who led the army to war.
15 Mwet kol lun mwet Issachar elos welul Deborah tuku. Aok, Issachar ac Barak tuku pac, Ac elos fahsr tokol nu infahlfal uh. Tusruktu sruf lal Reuben elos tia nunak se. Elos kofla wotela lah elos ac wi tuku.
The commanders of Issachar were with Deborah, and they followed the steps of Barak, who endangered himself, like one rushing headlong into a chasm. Reuben was divided against himself. Contention was found among great souls.
16 Efu elos ku mutana yurin sheep natulos? Ya in lohng ke mwet shepherd elos pangon sheep uh? Aok, sruf lal Reuben elos tia nunak se. Elos kofla wotela lah elos ac wi tuku.
Why do you live between two borders, so that you hear the bleating of the flocks? Reuben was divided against himself. Contention was found among great souls.
17 Sruf lal Gad elos muta lefahl kutulap in Infacl Jordan. Sruf lal Dan elos mutana ke oak uh. Sruf lal Asher elos mutana wekof uh.
Gilead rested beyond the Jordan, and Dan was occupied with ships. Asher was living on the shore of the sea, and dwelling in the ports.
18 A funu ke mwet in sruf lal Zebulun ac Naphtali Elos asang moul lalos in mweun.
Yet truly, Zebulun and Naphtali offered their lives to death in the region of Merom.
19 In acn Taanach, sisken infacl srisrik Megiddo, Tokosra elos tuku ac mweun; Tokosra lun mwet Canaan elos mweun sie sin sie, Tusruktu, wangin silver elos usla we lac.
The kings came and fought; the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach, beside the waters of Megiddo. And yet they took no spoils.
20 Itu uh mweun inkusrao me Lainul Sisera Ke elos fahsr inkanek lalos yen engyeng uh.
The conflict against them was from heaven. The stars, remaining in their order and courses, fought against Sisera.
21 Sie sronot lulap ke Infacl Kishon pahtkakunulosla — Aok, asr upa ke Infacl Kishon. Nga ac fah fahsr, fahsrna nu meet, ke ku!
The torrent of Kishon dragged away their carcasses, the onrushing torrent, the torrent of Kishon. O my soul, tread upon the stalwart!
22 Na horse uh srosroyak tuku, Ac futung infohk uh ke nialos.
The hoofs of the horses were broken, while the strongest of the enemies fled away with fury, and rushed on to ruin.
23 Sie lipufan lun LEUM GOD El selngawi acn Meroz ac fahk, “Sang kas in selnga nu fin mwet su muta we. Elos tuh tia wi tuku kasru LEUM GOD, In mweuni mwet lokwalok kulana.”
‘Cursed be the land of Meroz!’ said the Angel of the Lord. ‘Cursed be its inhabitants! For they did not come to the aid of the Lord, to the assistance of his most valiant men.’
24 Jael, mutan kial Heber, Pa insewowo emeet inmasrlon mutan uh, El pa wo nu se oemeet sin mutan nukewa ma muta in lohm nuknuk uh.
Blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. And blessed is she in her tabernacle.
25 Sisera el siyuk ke kof, a Jael el sang milk; Jael el sang milk nu sel luin sie ahlu wolana.
He begged her for water, and she gave him milk, and she offered him butter in a dish fit for princes.
26 Ke lac paol lasa Jael el sruokya soko osra in lohm nuknuk, Ac ke lac paol layot el sruokya sie hammer lulap lun mwet orekma. El faksilya Sisera ac fukulya ahlunsifal; El patikya osra soko ah sasla insifal.
She put her left hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman’s mallet. And she struck Sisera, seeking in his head a place for the wound, and strongly piercing his temples.
27 Sisera el putati nu ke intwel, El putatla nu infohk uh sisken nial Jael ac tia mukuikui. Sisera el putati nu ke intwel sisken nial Jael; El putatla nu infohk uh ac misa.
Between her feet, he was ruined. He fainted away and passed on. He curled up before her feet, and he lay there lifeless and miserable.
28 Nina kial Sisera ah yorla liki winto ah; El wowoyak in winto ah lac ac siyuk, “Efu ku chariot natul Sisera ah pahtlac fuk in tuku? Efu ku horse natul ah sumui fuk in foloko?”
His mother gazed through a window and wailed. And she spoke from an upper room: ‘Why does his chariot delay in returning? Why are the feet of his team of horses so slow?’
29 Mutan kasru lalmwetmet lal elos topuk nu sel, Tusruktu el kalwenina kas inge insial sifacna:
One who was wiser than the rest of his wives responded to her mother-in-law with this:
30 “Sahp elos srakna kite ma elos sruokya ke mweun ah inmasrlolos — Mutan se ku luo nu sin kais sie mwet mweun, Nuknuk wowo ac fah ma lal Sisera, Mwe yun kato ac fah nawela inkwawen kasra.”
‘Perhaps he is now dividing the spoils, and the most beautiful among the women is being selected for him. Garments of diverse colors are being delivered to Sisera as spoils, and various goods are being collected for the adornment of necks.’
31 O LEUM GOD, lela tuh mwet lokoalok lom nukewa in misa ouingan, A mwet kawuk lom in saromrom oana faht ke takak uh! Ouinge oasr misla in acn we ke lusen yac angngaul.
O Lord, so may all your enemies perish! But may those who love you shine with splendor, as the sun shines at its rising.” And the land rested for forty years.
