< Bilombe 5 >

1 Na mokolo wana, Debora mpe Baraki, mwana mobali ya Abinoami, bayembaki nzembo oyo:
Then sang Deborah, and Barak the sonne of Abinoam the same day, saying,
2 Lokola na Isalaele, bakonzi batambolaki liboso, mpe bato bamipesaki mobimba na bitumba, tika ete bokumisa Yawe!
Praise ye the Lord for the auenging of Israel, and for the people that offred themselues willingly.
3 Bino bakonzi, boyoka! Bino bakambi, boyoka malamu! Nalingi koyembela Yawe, nalingi koyemba nzembo mpo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
Heare, ye Kings, hearken ye princes: I, euen I will sing vnto the Lord: I will sing praise vnto the Lord God of Israel.
4 Eh Yawe, tango obimaki na Seiri, tango ozalaki kotambola wuta na mokili ya Edomi, mabele eninganaki, likolo enyangwanaki, mapata esopaki mayi.
Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou departedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heauens rained, the cloudes also dropped water.
5 Bangomba eninganaki liboso ya Yawe, mpe ngomba Sinai, liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
The mountaines melted before the Lord, as did that Sinai before the Lord God of Israel.
6 Na mikolo ya Shamagari, mwana mobali ya Anati; mpe na mikolo ya Yaeli, nzela etikalaki lisusu na bato te, bato ya mobembo batambolaki na nzela ya nyoka-nyoka.
In the dayes of Shamgar the sonne of Anath, in the dayes of Iael the hie wayes were vnoccupied, and the trauelers walked through by wayes.
7 Bamboka nyonso ya mike-mike ya Isalaele etikalaki lisusu na bato te, ezalaki lisusu na bato te kino ngai Debora natelemaki, kino natelemaki lokola mama kati na Isalaele.
The townes were not inhabited: they decayed, I say, in Israel, vntill I Deborah came vp, which rose vp a mother in Israel.
8 Tango baponaki banzambe ya sika, bitumba mpe ekomaki na bikuke ya engumba, kasi ata nguba moko te to likonga moko te emonanaki kati na basoda nkoto tuku minei kati na Isalaele.
They chose new gods: then was warre in the gates. Was there a shielde or speare seene among fourtie thousand of Israel?
9 Motema na ngai ezali elongo na bakambi ya Isalaele, elongo na ba-oyo bamipesaki mobimba na bitumba. Bokumisa Yawe!
Mine heart is set on the gouernours of Israel, and on them that are willing among the people: praise ye the Lord.
10 Bino oyo bozali kotambola likolo ya ba-ane ya pembe, bino oyo bozali kovanda likolo ya batapi, bino oyo bozali kotambola na nzela, bokanisa!
Speake ye that ride on white asses, yee that dwel by Middin, and that walke by the way.
11 Bokumisa mingongo ya bayembi, na bisika oyo batokaka mayi, pene ya bitima ya mayi; kuna, mingongo ya bakaboli mayi ezali kosanzola misala ya bosembo ya Yawe, misala na Ye ya bosembo na bamboka mike nyonso ya Isalaele. Bato ya Yawe bakiti kino na bikuke ya engumba.
For the noyse of the archers appaised among the drawers of water: there shall they rehearse the righteousnesse of the Lord, his righteousnesse of his townes in Israel: then did the people of the Lord goe downe to the gates.
12 Debora, lamuka! Lamuka! Lamuka, lamuka, yemba nzembo ya bitumba! Eh Baraki, telema, zongisa bakangami na yo; mwana mobali ya Abinoami!
Vp Deborah, vp, arise, and sing a song: arise Barak, and leade thy captiuitie captiue, thou sonne of Abinoam.
13 Ndambo ya batikali bakiti epai ya balongi, bato ya Yawe bakiti mpo na ngai kati na bilombe ya bitumba.
For they that remaine, haue dominio ouer the mightie of the people: the Lord hath giuen me dominion ouer the strong.
14 Bato ya Amaleki bawutaki na Efrayimi. Sima na yo, Benjame akitaki elongo na mampinga. Bakonzi ya mampinga babimelaki na Makiri, mpe bato oyo basimbaka lingenda ya bokonzi babimelaki na Zabuloni.
Of Ephraim their roote arose against Amalek: and after thee, Beniamin shall fight against thy people, O Amalek: of Machir came rulers, and of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
15 Bakambi ya Isakari bazalaki elongo na Debora; ndenge moko lokola Baraki, Isakari alandaki ye mbangu na makolo kino na lubwaku. Kasi kati na libota ya Ribeni, mitema etondaki mingi na makanisi.
And the Princes of Issachar were with Deborah, and Issachar, and also Barak: he was set on his feete in the valley: for the diuisions of Reuben were great thoughts of heart.
16 Mpo na nini avandi kati na lopango? Ezali mpo na kaka koyoka kolela ya bibwele? Kati na libota ya Ribeni, bazali bobele kolekisa tango pamba na kokanisa.
Why abodest thou among the sheepefolds, to heare the bleatings of the flockes? for the diuisions of Reuben were great thoughts of heart.
17 Galadi atikali na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani. Mpo na nini Dani azali kowumela kati na masuwa? Aseri atikali pembeni ya ebale, avandi pembeni ya libongo na ye.
Gilead abode beyonde Iorden: and why doeth Dan remayne in shippes? Asher sate on the sea shoare, and taryed in his decayed places.
18 Bato ya Zabuloni bateki milimo na bango na kufa, bato ya Nefitali, na basonge ya bangomba, kuna na esika ya bitumba.
But the people of Zebulun and Naphtali haue ieopard their liues vnto the death in the hie places of the field.
19 Bakonzi oyo bazali banguna bayaki mpe babundisaki biso; bakonzi ya Kanana babundisaki biso na mboka Taanaki, pene ya mayi ya Megido, kasi bamemaki te bomengo ya bitumba, ata palata.
The Kings came and fought: then fought the Kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: they receiued no gaine of money.
20 Wuta na likolo, minzoto ebundaki; na nzela na yango oyo etambolaka, minzoto ebundisaki Sisera.
They fought from heauen, euen the starres in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 Mayi moke ya Kishoni ememaki bango, mayi moke ya tango ya kala, mayi moke ya Kishoni. Tika ete molimo na ngai etambola na nguya!
The Riuer Kishon swepe them away, that ancient riuer the riuer Kishon. O my soule, thou hast marched valiantly.
22 Makolo ya bampunda enyataki mabele, na kopumbwa na mbangu makasi, na kolanda bankolo na yango, bato na nguya.
Then were the horsehooues broken with the oft beating together of their mightie men.
23 Bolakela mboka ya Merozi mabe, elobi anjelu ya Yawe. Bolakela, bolakela mabe bato oyo bavandi kuna! Pamba te bayei te kosunga Yawe; bayei te kosunga bilombe ya bitumba!
Curse ye Meroz: (sayd the Angel of the Lord) curse the inhabitantes thereof, because they came not to helpe the Lord, to helpe the Lord against the mighty.
24 Tika ete Yaeli, mwasi ya Eberi, moto ya Keni, apambolama kati na basi nyonso! Tika ete apambolama kati na basi nyonso oyo bazali kovanda na se ya ndako ya kapo.
Iael the wife of Heber the Kenite shall be blessed aboue other women: blessed shall she be aboue women dwelling in tentes.
25 Sisera asengaki mayi, kasi ye apesaki miliki; kati na kopo ya bato ya lokumu, apesaki ye miliki ya kilo.
He asked water, and shee gaue him milke: she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
26 Na loboko na ye ya mwasi, azwaki pike ya nzete; mpe na loboko na ye ya mobali, marto ya basali. Abetaki Sisera mpe apanzaki ye moto, atobolaki ye litoyi mpe apanzaki yango nyonso.
She put her hand to the naile, and her right hand to the workemans hammer: with the hammer smote she Sisera: she smote off his head, after she had wounded, and pearsed his temples.
27 Sisera akweyaki na makolo na ye, alembaki; akweyaki na makolo na ye mpe akufaki.
He bowed him downe at her feete, he fell downe, and lay still: at her feete hee bowed him downe, and fell: and when he had sunke downe, he lay there dead.
28 Mama ya Sisera abandaki kotala na lininisa, na sima ya bibende, mpe abandaki koganga: « Mpo na nini shar na ye ezali kowumela boye? Mpo na nini bashar na ye ezali koya malembe? »
The mother of Sisera looked out at a windowe, and cryed thorowe the lattesse, Why is his charet so long a comming? why tary the wheeles of his charets?
29 Moko kati na basi ya mayele mpe ya lokumu ayanoli ye, mpe ye moko amilobeli:
Her wise ladies answered her, Yea. Shee answered her selfe with her owne wordes,
30 « Ezali te mpo bazwi mpe bakaboli bomengo ya bitumba: Elenge mwasi moko to bilenge basi mibale mpo na soda moko, bilamba ya langi mpo na Sisera, bilamba, bilamba ya langi, mpe bilamba oyo batia bililingi, mpo na balongi? »
Haue they not gotten, and they deuide the spoyle? euery man hath a mayde or two. Sisera hath a praye of diuers coloured garmentes, a pray of sundry colours made of needle worke: of diuers colours of needle worke on both sides, for the chiefe of the spoyle.
31 Yawe, tika ete banguna na Yo nyonso bakufa bongo! Tika ete bato oyo balingaka Yo bangenga makasi lokola moyi ya midi! Mokili ezalaki na kimia mibu tuku minei.
So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but they that loue him, shall be as the Sunne when he riseth in his might, and the lande had rest fourtie yeres.
