Mpitsara 5
1 Nisabo ty hoe amy andro zay t’i Deborae naho i Barak’ ana’ i Abinoame:
And Debbora and Barac son of Abineem sang in that day, saying,
2 Andriaño t’Iehovà te nonjoneñe ty lohà’ Israele, naho nanolo-batañe an-tsatri’e ondatio.
A revelation was made in Israel when the people were made willing: Praise you the Lord.
3 Mijanjiña ry mpanjaka, manokilaña ravembia ry roandriañeo; izaho eka izaho ty hisabo am’Iehovà, ho rengeko an-tsabo t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele.
Hear, you kings, and listen, rulers: I will sing, it is I [who will sing] to the Lord, it is I, I will sing a psalm to the Lord 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.
O Lord, in your going forth on Seir, when you went forth out of the land of Edom, the earth quaked and the heaven dropped dews, and the clouds dropped water.
5 Nitranak’ aolo’ Iehovà o vohitseo, naho i Sinaiy añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele eo.
The mountains were shaken before the face of the Lord Eloi, this Sina before the face of 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 Samegar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, they deserted the ways, and went in by-ways; they went in crooked paths.
7 Hene nijihetse o mpimone’ o tanañeo, nijohañe t’Israele ampara’ te nitroatse t’i Deborae, ie niongake ho rene’ Israele.
The mighty men in Israel failed, they failed until Debbora arose, until she 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 the cities of rulers fought; there was not 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 [inclines] to the orders given in Israel; you that are willing among the people, bless the Lord.
10 Misaontsia ry mpiningi-borìke fotio, o mpiaolo an-jakao, naho mañavelo amy lalañey.
You that mount a she-ass at noon-day, you that sit on the judgment-seat, and walk by the roads of them that sit in judgment by the way; declare
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.
[you that are delivered] from the noise of disturbers among the drawers of water; there shall they relate righteous acts: O Lord, increase righteous acts in Israel: then the people of the Lord went down to the cities.
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, Debbora; awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barac, and lead your captivity captive, son of Abineem.
13 Nizotso mb’etoa o fanalolahy sehanga’eo; nampifehe’ Iehovà ahy o maozatseo.
Then went down the remnant to the strong, the people of the Lord went down for him among the mighty ones from me.
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.
Ephraim rooted them out in Amalec, behind you was Benjamin among your people: the inhabitants of Machir came down with me searching out the enemy, and from Zabulon came they that draw with the scribe's pen of record.
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 princess in Issachar were with Debbora and Barac, thus she sent Barac on his feet in the valleys into the portions of Ruben; great [pangs] reached to the 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 they sit between the sheepfolds to hear the bleating of flocks for the divisions of Ruben? [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.
Galaad [is] on the other side of Jordan where he pitched his tents; and why does Dan remain in ships? Aser sat down on the sea-coasts, and he will tabernacle at his ports.
18 I Zebolone ty rofoko namoe’aiñe ampara’ ty fivetrahañe, naho i Naftalý an-kaboa’ o hivokeo.
The people Zabulon exposed their soul to death, and Nephthali came to the high places of their land.
19 Nimb’eo o mpanjakao nialy; nañotakotake e Taanake o mpanjaka’ i Khanàne marine’ o rano’ i Megidòo, tsy nandrambe vola ho tambe.
Kings set themselves in array, then the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanaach at the water of Mageddo; they took no gift of money.
20 Nialy o boak’ an-dikerañeo, nialy amy Siserà o vasiañeo boak’ amo lala’eo.
The stars from heaven set themselves in array, they set themselves [to fight] with Sisara out of their paths.
21 Sinao’ ty saka Kisone iereo, i saka haehaey, i saka’ Kisoney. Mañitsaha an-kaozarañe, ry troko.
The brook of Kison swept them away, the ancient brook, the brook Kison: my mighty soul will trample him down.
22 Hotron-tsoavala amy zao, godogodoin-drimatse, ty fandrimata’ o fanalohahi’eo.
When the hoofs of the horse were entangled, his mighty ones earnestly hasted
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.
to curse Meroz: Curse you [it], said the angel of the Lord; cursed [is] every one that dwells in it, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to his help among the mighty.
24 Haha amo rakembao t’Iaele, tañanjomba’ i Kevere, nte-Keny; haha re amo rakemba an-kibohotseo.
Blessed among women be Jael wife of Chaber the Kenite; let her be blessed above women in tents.

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 stretched forth her left hand to the nail, and her right to the hand workman's hammer, and she struck Sisara with it, she nailed through his head and struck him; she nailed 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.
He rolled down between her feet; he fell and lay between her feet; he bowed and fell: where he bowed, there he fell 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 Sisara looked down through the window out of the loophole, [saying], Why was his chariot ashamed? why did the wheels of his chariots wait?

Her wise ladies answered her, and she returned answers to herself, [saying],
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?
Will they not find him dividing the spoil? he will surely be gracious to every man: [there are] spoils of dyed garments for Sisara, spoils of various dyed garments, dyed embroidered garments, they [are] the spoils for his neck.
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.
Thus let all your enemies perish, O Lord: and they that love him shall be as the going forth of the sun in his strength. And the land had rest forty years.
