Mpitsara 5
1 Nisabo ty hoe amy andro zay t’i Deborae naho i Barak’ ana’ i Abinoame:
Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
2 Andriaño t’Iehovà te nonjoneñe ty lohà’ Israele, naho nanolo-batañe an-tsatri’e ondatio.
That the leaders took the lead in Israel, that the people offered themselves willingly, bless ye Jehovah.
3 Mijanjiña ry mpanjaka, manokilaña ravembia ry roandriañeo; izaho eka izaho ty hisabo am’Iehovà, ho rengeko an-tsabo t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele.
Hear, O ye kings. Give ear, O ye rulers. I, even I, will sing to Jehovah. I will sing praise to Jehovah, the God of Israel.
4 Ry Iehovà, ihe nionjoñe boake Seire ao ihe niroborobo boak’an-tete’ i Edome ao, nanginikinike i taney, nifororoake o an-dikerañeo, eka nampikojojoake rano o rahoñeo.
Jehovah, when thou went forth out of Seir, when thou marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, yea, the clouds dropped water.
5 Nitranak’ aolo’ Iehovà o vohitseo, naho i Sinaiy añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele eo.
The mountains quaked at the presence of Jehovah, even yon Sinai at the presence of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
6 Ie tañ’andro i Samgare ana’ i Anate, faha’ Iaele, ie nikoake o damokeo; ninokitse an-dalan-tsileke ze atao mpañavelo.
In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travelers walked through byways.
7 Hene nijihetse o mpimone’ o tanañeo, nijohañe t’Israele ampara’ te nitroatse t’i Deborae, ie niongake ho rene’ Israele.
The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, until that I, Deborah, arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
8 Fe nijoboñe ‘ndrahare vao iereo, vaho an-dalambey eo ty aly; nitendrek’ amo efats’ ale’ Israeleo hao ty fikalandefo ndra ty lefoñe?
They chose new gods, then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 Mitolik’ amo roandria’ Israeleo ty troko, o nanolo-batañe an-tsatri’e boak’ am’ondati’eo; andriaño t’Iehovà.
My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye Jehovah.
10 Misaontsia ry mpiningi-borìke fotio, o mpiaolo an-jakao, naho mañavelo amy lalañey.
Tell, ye who ride on white donkeys, ye who sit on rich carpets, and ye who walk by the way.
11 Ambone’ ty feom-pitàm-pale am-pitarihan-drano eo, ty hitalilia’ iareo o fitoloñam-banta’ Iehovào, ty asa’e mahity amo tanàñe e Israeleo, le hizotso mb’an-dalam-bey mb’eo ondati’ Iehovào henane zao.
Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they shall rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.
12 Mivañona, mivañona, ry Deborae, mitroara, mitroara, le andaharo sabo, miongaha ry Barake, le kozozoto mb’ am-pandrohizam-b’eo o mpirohi’oo ry ana-dahi’ i Abinoame.
Awake, awake, Deborah, awake, awake, utter a song. Arise, Barak, and lead away thy captives, thou son of Abinoam.
13 Nizotso mb’etoa o fanalolahy sehanga’eo; nampifehe’ Iehovà ahy o maozatseo.
Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down. Jehovah came down for me against the mighty.
14 Niboake Efraime i vaha’ey hiatreke i Amaleke; nanonjohy aze t’i Beniamine haname ondati’oo; niakatse i Makire o mpandilio; naho boake Zebolone o mahafitan-tsatilòm-panokitseo.
Out of Ephraim, those whose root is in Amalek, after thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples, out of Machir, came down governors, and out of Zebulun those who handle the marshal's staff.
15 Nindre amy Deborae ka o roandria’ Isakareo nañorik’ an-tomi’ i Barake t’Isakare mb’am-bavatane mb’eo; toe ra’elahy ty fitsakorean’ arofo’ o mpirai-lia’ i Reobeneo.
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah, as was Issachar, so was Barak, into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben there were great resolves of heart.
16 Ino ty nimoneña’o an-goloboñ’ ao, hijanjiña’o ty fibabababà’ o lia-raikeo? Toe ra’elahy ty fitsikarahan’ arofo’ o mpirai-lia’ i Reobeneo.
Why did thou sit among the sheepfolds, to hear the pipings for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
17 Nitambatse alafe’ Iordaney t’i Gilade, nañino ka ty fitsoloha’ i Dane ankalo’ o lakañeo? Nidoñe añolon-driake añe t’i Asere, nimoneñe am-pitolian-dakañe eo.
Gilead abode beyond the Jordan. And Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and abode by his creeks.
18 I Zebolone ty rofoko namoe’aiñe ampara’ ty fivetrahañe, naho i Naftalý an-kaboa’ o hivokeo.
Zebulun was a people who jeopardized their lives to the death, and Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.
19 Nimb’eo o mpanjakao nialy; nañotakotake e Taanake o mpanjaka’ i Khanàne marine’ o rano’ i Megidòo, tsy nandrambe vola ho tambe.
The kings came and fought. Then the kings of Canaan fought in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no gain of money.
20 Nialy o boak’ an-dikerañeo, nialy amy Siserà o vasiañeo boak’ amo lala’eo.
From heaven the stars fought; from their courses they fought against Sisera.
21 Sinao’ ty saka Kisone iereo, i saka haehaey, i saka’ Kisoney. Mañitsaha an-kaozarañe, ry troko.
The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, march on with strength.
22 Hotron-tsoavala amy zao, godogodoin-drimatse, ty fandrimata’ o fanalohahi’eo.
Then the horse hoofs stamped by reason of the prancings, the prancings of their strong ones.
23 Afatse t’i Meroze hoe ty anjeli’ Iehovà, ozoño mena o mpimone’eo, amy t’ie tsy niavy hañolotse Iehovà, tsy nolora’iareo t’Iehovà hiatrek’ o lahidefoñeo.
Curse ye Meroz, said the agent of Jehovah. Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants of it, because they did not come to the help of Jehovah, to the help of Jehovah against the mighty.
24 Haha amo rakembao t’Iaele, tañanjomba’ i Kevere, nte-Keny; haha re amo rakemba an-kibohotseo.
Blessed above women shall Jael be, the wife of Heber the Kenite. Blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 Rano ty nihalalie’e fe ronono ty nazotso’e; nanjotsoa’e dero am-pinga mañeva.
He asked water. She gave him milk. She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
26 Rinambem-pità’e i tsatokey, ty fità’e havana rekets’ ana-batom-pitoloñañe; finofo’e amy ana-batoy t’i Sisera, nampipotire’e ty añambone’e, Eka, tinombo’e naho trinofa’e o fitendrean’aoli’eo.
She put her hand to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer. And with the hammer she smote Sisera; she struck through his head. Yea, she pierced and struck through his temples.
27 Am-pandia’e eo ty nibokobokoa’e; nikorovoke, nandre; am-pandia’e eo ty niondreha’e, nilantsiñe eo, amy nihotraha’ey, teo ty nidona’e mate.
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 Nitalake an-dalan-kede’e añe ty rene’ i Siserà nikoaik’ an-tsingarakarake: Ino ty nahatambatse i sarete’ey añe? Akore te mihenekenek’ añe avao o laròn-tsarete’eo?
Through the window she looked forth, and cried-the mother of Sisera through the lattice-Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why do the wheels of his chariots delay?
29 Nanoiñe aze o ana-donak’ ampela’e mahihitseo, Eka nifanointoiñe ama’e o fivola’eo,
Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
30 Hera t’ie nitendreke fikopahañe, vaho mifanjara? Songa ondaty aman-tsomondrara’e ndra roe; le amy Siserà ty vara maro volo; fikopahañe am-bolo’e ankafankafa, satam-pitrebeke, volom-pitoloñam-pitrebeke ami’ty lafi’e roe, mañeva ty fititia’ o mpamaokeo?
Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A damsel, two damsels to every man, to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments embroidered, of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the spoil?
31 Izay ty hivetraha’ o rafelahi’o iabio ry Iehovà; le hanahake i àndroy am-pionjona’e an-kaozarañe, o mikoko Azeo. Le nitofa efa-polo taoñe i taney.
So let all thine enemies perish, O Jehovah, but let those who love him be as the sun when he goes forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
