Mpitsara 5
1 Nisabo ty hoe amy andro zay t’i Deborae naho i Barak’ ana’ i Abinoame:
Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2 Andriaño t’Iehovà te nonjoneñe ty lohà’ Israele, naho nanolo-batañe an-tsatri’e ondatio.
Praise you the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
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 you kings; give ear, O you princes; I, even I, will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD 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.
LORD, when you went out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.
5 Nitranak’ aolo’ Iehovà o vohitseo, naho i Sinaiy añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele eo.
The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD 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 inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, 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 was war 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, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless you the LORD.
10 Misaontsia ry mpiningi-borìke fotio, o mpiaolo an-jakao, naho mañavelo amy lalañey.
Speak, you that ride on white asses, you that sit in judgment, and 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.
They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go 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 your captivity captive, you son of Abinoam.
13 Nizotso mb’etoa o fanalolahy sehanga’eo; nampifehe’ Iehovà ahy o maozatseo.
Then he made him that remains have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over 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 was there a root of them against Amalek; after you, Benjamin, among your people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
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; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts 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 stayed you among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions 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 stayed beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and stayed in his breaches.
18 I Zebolone ty rofoko namoe’aiñe ampara’ ty fivetrahañe, naho i Naftalý an-kaboa’ o hivokeo.
Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that risked their lives to the death in 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 fought the kings of Canaan 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.
They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 Sinao’ ty saka Kisone iereo, i saka haehaey, i saka’ Kisoney. Mañitsaha an-kaozarañe, ry troko.
The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, you have trodden down strength.
22 Hotron-tsoavala amy zao, godogodoin-drimatse, ty fandrimata’ o fanalohahi’eo.
Then were the horse hoofs broken by the means of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty 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 you Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse you bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD 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 the wife of Heber the Kenite be, 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, and she gave him milk; she brought forth 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 nail, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken 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 down: 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?
The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29 Nanoiñe aze o ana-donak’ ampela’e mahihitseo, Eka nifanointoiñe ama’e o fivola’eo,
Her wise ladies answered her, yes, 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 sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colors, a prey of divers colors of needlework, of divers colors of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take 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 your enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goes forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
