Balam 5
1 Ku olwo Debola ne Baraki mutabani wa Abinoamu ne bayimba bwe bati:
Ɛda no, Debora ne Abinoam babarima Barak too saa dwom yi:
2 “Mutendereze Mukama kubanga mu Isirayiri abakulembeze baatuukiriza omulimu gwabwe n’abantu ne beewaayo nga baagala.
“Israel mpanimfoɔ sɔre dii animu, na nnipa no de anigyeɛ dii wɔn akyi. Nhyira nka Awurade!
3 “Muwulirize mmwe bakabaka, musseeyo omwoyo mmwe abalangira; nze kennyini, nze nnaayimbira Mukama; nze nnaayimbira Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri.
“Mo ahemfo, montie! Monyɛ aso, mo aberempɔn! Na mɛto dwom ama Awurade. Mɛma me nne so ama Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn.
4 “Mukama, bwe wava e Seyiri, bwe wava mu kitundu kya Edomu okutabaala, ensi n’ekankana, enkuba n’eyiika okuva mu ggulu. Weewaawo, ebire ne bifukumuka amazzi.
“Awurade, ɛberɛ a wofirii Seir, na wobɔɔ nsra faa Edom mfuo so no, asase wosoeɛ na ɔsoro omununkum tuee nsuo.
5 Ensozi ne zikankana awali Mukama, Oyo owa Sinaayi, ne lukankana mu maaso Mukama Katonda w’Abayisirayiri.
Awurade ba no maa mmepɔ wosoeɛ. Sinai Bepɔ mpo wosoeɛ wɔ Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn anim.
6 “Ku mulembe gwa Samugali, mutabani wa Anasi, ne ku mulembe gwa Yayeeri abatambuze tebaayitanga, mu nguudo nnene, baatambuliranga mu mpenda.
“Anat ba Samgar ne Yael berɛ so, nnipa amfa akwantempɔn so, na akwantufoɔ faa anammɔnkwan kɔntɔnkye so.
7 Abakulembeze mu Isirayiri baggwaawo okutuusa nze Debola lwe nayimuka, nga nnyina wa bonna mu Isirayiri.
Nnipa kakra na wɔkaa Israel nkuraaseɛ kɔsii sɛ Debora sɔree sɛ ɛna maa Israel.
8 Bwe beefunira abakulembeze abalala, entalo ne ziryoka zibalukawo mu Isirayiri. Ku basajja Abayisirayiri emitwalo ena kwaliko n’omu eyalina effumu oba engabo?
Ɛberɛ a Israel somm anyame foforɔ no, ɔko sɔree kuropɔn no apono ano. Nanso wɔanhunu kyɛm anaa pea wɔ akofoɔ ɔpeduanan a wɔwɔ Israel mu!
9 Omutima gwange guli eri abakulembeze b’Abayisirayiri, n’eri abantu abeewaayo nga baagala. Mutendereze Mukama.
Mewɔ Israel ntuanofoɔ afa ne wɔn a wɔde anigyeɛ dii wɔn akyi. Hyira Awurade!
10 “Mukyogereko mmwe, abeebagala ku ndogoyi enjeru, mmwe abatuula ku biwempe ebirungi ennyo, nammwe abatambulira mu kkubo.
“Mo a motete afunumu a wɔte apɔ so, tete nsaa a ɛyɛ fɛ so, montie! Ne mo a ɛsɛ sɛ monante fam nso, montie!
11 Wulira oluyimba lw’abantu ku luzzi, nga batendereza obuwanguzi era n’ebikolwa bya Mukama eby’obutuukirivu, ebikolwa bye eby’obutuukirivu nga akulembera Abayisirayiri. “Awo abantu ba Mukama ne baserengeta, ne bagenda ku miryango gy’ebibuga byabwe.
Montie nkuraaseɛ nnwomsiaafoɔ a wɔaboa wɔn ho ano wɔ anomeeɛ. Wɔkeka Awurade tenenee nkonimdie, ne ne nkuraasefoɔ nkonimdie wɔ Israel ho asɛm. “Afei Awurade nkurɔfoɔ bɔɔ nsra kɔɔ kuropɔn no apono ano.
12 Zuukuka, zuukuka Debola zuukuka, zuukuka, okulembere oluyimba; golokoka, Baraki okulembere abawambe bo nga basibiddwa, ggwe mutabani wa Abinoamu.
‘Sɔre! Debora, sɔre! Sɔre, sɔre na to dwom! Sɔre, Barak! Di wo nneduafoɔ anim kɔ, Abinoam ba!’
13 “Awo abakungu abaasigalawo ne baserengeta, abantu ba Mukama, ne baserengeta okulwanyisa ow’amaanyi.
“Nkaeɛfoɔ no bɔɔ nsra firi Tabor kɔɔ ahoɔdenfoɔ so. Awurade nkurɔfoɔ bɔɔ nsra kɔɔ akofoɔ ahoɔdenfoɔ so.
14 Awo abaava mu kitundu kya Efulayimu ne baserengeta mu kiwonvu, nga bakugoberera ggwe, Benyamini, n’ab’ekika kyo. Mu Makiri ne wavaayo abakulembeze, ne baserengeta, ne mu kitundu kya Zebbulooni ne wavaayo abaduumizi.
Wɔfiri Efraim baeɛ, asase a na kane no na ɛyɛ Amalekfoɔ dea, na Benyamin nso dii wʼakyi. Asahene no bɔɔ nsra firii Makir; ɔsahene pomakurafoɔ firi Sebulon baeɛ.
15 Abalangira ba Isakaali baali wamu ne Debola; era Isakaali yali wamu ne Baraki. Ne bafubutuka okumugoberera mu kiwonvu. Olw’enjawukana ezaali mu kika kya Lewubeeni, waaliwo okusooka okufumiitiriza ennyo mu mitima gyabwe.
Na Isakar mu atitire ka Debora ne Barak ho. Wɔdii Barak akyi, bɔ wuraa bɔnhwa no mu. Nanso, Ruben abusuakuo mu deɛ, wɔansi wɔn adwene pi.
16 Kiki ekyakusigaza mu bisibo byo eby’endiga, okuwuliriza endere zebafuuyira endiga? Olw’enjawukana ezaali mu kika kya Lewubeeni, waaliwo okusooka okufumiitiriza ennyo mu mitima gyabwe.
Adɛn enti na wotenaa efie wɔ nnwanhwɛfoɔ mu, tie nnwanhwɛfoɔ a wɔde hwerɛma frɛ wɔn nnwan? Ruben abusuakuo mu, wɔansi wɔn adwene pi.
17 Ab’ekika kya Gireyaadi baasigala mitala wa Yoludaani. N’ab’ekika kya Ddaani ekyabasigaza mu byombo kiki? Ab’ekika kya Aseri; baasigala ku lubalama lw’ennyanja, ne babeera awali emyalo gyabwe.
Gilead kaa Yordan apueeɛ hɔ. Na Dan deɛ, adɛn enti na ɔtenaa fie? Aser tenaa mpoano a wanka ne ho, ɔkaa nʼahyɛn gyinabea ahodoɔ hɔ.
18 Ab’ekika kya Zebbulooni baawaayo obulamu bwabwe, era n’ab’ekika kya Nafutaali mu ddwaniro.
Nanso, Sebulon too ne nkwa akyerɛ sɛdeɛ Naftali yɛɛ wɔ akono no.
19 “Ku mugga gw’e Megiddo mu Taanaki, bakabaka bajja ne balwana, bakabaka b’e Kanani baalwana. Naye tebaanyaga bintu.
“Kanaan ahemfo koeɛ wɔ Taanak a ɛbɛn Megido nsutire ho, nanso, wɔannya asadeɛ biara ankɔ.
20 Emunyeenye zaalwana nga zisinziira mu ggulu, zaalwanyisa Sisera nga bwe zetoloola mu bbanga.
Nsoromma firi soro koeɛ. Nsoromma nam wɔn kyenenee so ko tiaa Sisera.
21 Omugga Kisoni gwabasanyizaawo ddala, omugga ogwo ogw’edda omugga Kisoni. Ggwe emmeeme yange, kkumba n’amaanyi.
Asubɔnten Kison twee wɔn kɔeɛ, tete asuo, Kison. Me kra, fa akokoɔduru bɔ nsra kɔ wʼanim!
22 Awo embalaasi ne zijja nga zirigita era nga bwe zisambirira ettaka, ensolo zaabwe ezo ez’amaanyi.
Afei, apɔnkɔ no tɔte pempem fam, wɔde mmirikatɛntɛ, Sisera apɔnkɔ ahoɔdenfoɔ no mmirikatɛntɛ.
23 Malayika wa Mukama n’agamba nti, ‘Mukolimire Merozi. Mukolimire nnyo ababeera e Merozi; kubanga tebeetaba mu lutalo lwa Mukama. Tebaalwetabaamu nga Mukama Katonda alwanyisa ab’amaanyi.’
‘Nnome nka Merosfoɔ,’ Awurade ɔbɔfoɔ na ɔseɛ. Ma nnome a ano yɛ den nka wɔn ɛfiri sɛ, wɔammɛboa Awurade, wɔammɛboa Awurade anko antia akofoɔ ahoɔdenfoɔ no.
24 “Nga wa mukisa Yayeeri okusinga abakazi bonna! Nga wa mukisa Yayeeri mukazi w’Omukeeni Keberi, okusinga abakazi bonna ababeera mu weema!
“Nhyira nka Yael, Heber a ɔfiri Keni yere. Ne nhyira nsene mmaa a wɔtete ntomadan mu nyinaa.
25 Bwe yasaba amazzi, yamuwa mata, era n’amuleetera n’omuzigo mu bbawulo ey’ekikungu.
Sisera srɛɛ nsuo, na Yael maa no nufosuo; bonsua a ɛfata ahemfo no mu na ɔde nufosuo ani sradeɛ brɛɛ no.
26 Yakwata enkondo ya weema mu mukono gwe ogwa kkono, n’ennyondo mu gwa ddyo, n’akomerera Sisera enkondo mu kyenyi n’eyita namu.
Afei, ɔde ne nsa benkum yii ntomadan pɛɛwa, na ɔde ne nsa nifa faa odwumfoɔ asaeɛ. Ɔde bɔɔ Sisera, pɛkyɛɛ ne ti. Ɔde pɛɛwa no wɔɔ ne moma so, bɔɔ so kɔɔ ne tirim.
27 Amaanyi gaamuggwa n’agwa; yagwa ku bigere bya Yayeeri n’alambaala we yagwa we yafiira.
Ɔhodwoeɛ, ɔhwee ase; ɔwuu wɔ ne nan ase.
28 “Nnyina wa Sisera yalingiriza mu ddirisa; yayisa amaaso mu ddirisa, n’aleekaanira waggulu nti ‘Kiki ekirwisizza eggaali lye okujja? Okuguluba kw’eggaali lye nga sikuwulira?’
“Sisera nena hwɛɛ mpomma mu; ɔtɛɛ mpomma mu hwɛɛ no kwan, ɔkaa sɛ, ‘Adɛn enti na ne teaseɛnam akyɛre ba yi? Adɛn enti na yɛnte teaseɛnam nhankra nnyegyeeɛ yi?’
29 Abazaana be abagezi baba tebanamuddamu ne yeddamu yekka.
Ne mmaa anyansafoɔ no rema mmuaeɛ no, ɔtii mu kaa saa nsɛm yi kyerɛɛ ne ho sɛ:
30 ‘Tebazudde omunyago era tebali mu kugugabana, omuwala omu oba babiri buli musajja? Sisera tufunye omunyago ogw’engoye enduke ez’amabala? Eminagiro ebiri emiruke, egy’amabala tegiibe gyange?’
‘Wɔrekyɛ asadeɛ a wɔnyaeɛ no, ɔbarima biara nya ɔbaa baako anaa mmienu. Sisera bɛnya ntadeɛ a ɛyɛ fɛ na me nso menya ntadeɛ a ɛkura ahosuo ahodoɔ na wɔanwono mu fɛɛfɛ.’
31 “Ayi Mukama Katonda abalabe bo bazikirirenga bwe batyo nga Sisera. Naye abo bonna abakwagala bamasemasenga ng’enjuba ey’akavaayo mu maanyi gaayo.” Awo ne wayitawo emyaka ana nga Abayisirayiri bali mu mirembe.
“Awurade, ma wʼatamfoɔ nyinaa nwu sɛ Sisera! Nanso, ma wɔn a wɔdɔ wo no nkɔso sɛ owigyinaeɛ.” Afei, asomdwoeɛ baa asase no so mfirinhyia aduanan.
