Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
2 Kaksakin LEUM GOD! Mwet Israel elos akola na, Ac sifacna eisalosyang in wi mweun.
“Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, 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.
“Hear, you kings! Give ear, you princes! I, even I, will sing to the LORD. I will sing praise 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.
“LORD, when you went out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the sky also dropped. Yes, the clouds dropped water.
5 Eol uh kusrusr ye mutun LEUM GOD lun Sinai, Ye mutun LEUM GOD lun Israel.
The mountains quaked at the LORD’s presence, even Sinai at the presence of the LORD, the God of Israel.

“In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through 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 rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother 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?
They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in 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 is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. 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.
“Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk by the way.
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.
Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they will rehearse the LORD’s righteous acts, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. “Then the LORD’s people went down to the gates.
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!
‘Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you 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.
“Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down. The LORD came down for me against the mighty.
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.
Those whose root is in Amalek came out of Ephraim, after you, Benjamin, among your peoples. Governors come down out of Machir. Those who handle the marshal’s staff came out of Zebulun.
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 princes of Issachar were with Deborah. As was Issachar, so was Barak. They rushed into the valley at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben, there were great resolves of heart.
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 did you sit among the sheepfolds? To hear the whistling for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben, there were great searchings of heart.
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 lived beyond the Jordan. Why did Dan remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and lived by his creeks.
18 A funu ke mwet in sruf lal Zebulun ac Naphtali Elos asang moul lalos in mweun.
Zebulun was a people that jeopardized their lives to the death; Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
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, then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no plunder of silver.
20 Itu uh mweun inkusrao me Lainul Sisera Ke elos fahsr inkanek lalos yen engyeng uh.
From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they 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 river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
22 Na horse uh srosroyak tuku, Ac futung infohk uh ke nialos.
Then the horse hoofs stamped because of the prancing, the prancing of their strong ones.
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.”
‘Curse Meroz,’ said the LORD’s angel. ‘Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they didn’t come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty.’
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.
“Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 Sisera el siyuk ke kof, a Jael el sang milk; Jael el sang milk nu sel luin sie ahlu wolana.
He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
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 hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer. With the hammer she struck Sisera. She struck through his head. Yes, she pierced and struck through 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.
At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he bowed, he fell. Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
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?”
“Through the window she looked out, and cried: Sisera’s mother looked through the lattice. ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why do the wheels of his chariots wait?’
29 Mutan kasru lalmwetmet lal elos topuk nu sel, Tusruktu el kalwenina kas inge insial sifacna:
Her wise ladies answered her, Yes, she returned answer to herself,
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.”
‘Have they not found, have they not divided the plunder? A lady, two ladies to every man; to Sisera a plunder of dyed garments, a plunder of dyed garments embroidered, of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the plunder?’
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.
“So let all your enemies perish, LORD, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.
