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.
"Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, 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. Give ear, you princes. I, even I, will sing to the LORD. I will sing praise 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.
"LORD, when you went forth out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the sky also dropped. Yes, 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 the LORD, even Sinai, at the presence of the LORD, 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. 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 I, Deborah, arose; Until 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 leaders of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless the LORD.
10 Misaontsia ry mpiningi-borìke fotio, o mpiaolo an-jakao, naho mañavelo amy lalañey.
"Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on saddle blankets, and you 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 will rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. "Then the people of the LORD 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. Awaken the multitudes of a nation. Awake, awake, sing a song. Be strong. Arise, Barak. And Deborah, strengthen Barak. And lead away your captives, son of Abinoam.'
13 Nizotso mb’etoa o fanalolahy sehanga’eo; nampifehe’ Iehovà ahy o maozatseo.
"Then a remnant of the nobles came down. The people of the LORD marched down to 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.
From Ephraim those who uprooted Amalek came out, following you, Benjamin, among your peoples; out of Makir leaders came down, and out of Zebulun those that handle the staff of office.
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. They rushed into the valley 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 you sit among the sheepfolds, to hear the piping for the flocks? At 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 lived beyond the Jordan. Why did Dan remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and lived by his harbors.
18 I Zebolone ty rofoko namoe’aiñe ampara’ ty fivetrahañe, naho i Naftalý an-kaboa’ o hivokeo.
Zebulun was a people that risked their lives even to death; Naphtali also, on 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 at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no plunder of silver.
20 Nialy o boak’ an-dikerañeo, nialy amy Siserà o vasiañeo boak’ amo lala’eo.
From the sky 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. My soul, march on with strength.
22 Hotron-tsoavala amy zao, godogodoin-drimatse, ty fandrimata’ o fanalohahi’eo.
Then the horse hoofs pounded because of the galloping, the galloping of their steeds.
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 Meroz, said the angel of the LORD. Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they did not come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty.
24 Haha amo rakembao t’Iaele, tañanjomba’ i Kevere, nte-Keny; haha re amo rakemba an-kibohotseo.
Jael shall be blessed above women, 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 for water. She gave him milk. She brought him curds in a princely bowl.
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 peg, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer. She struck Sisera, she pierced his head; she shattered and struck through his temple.
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 collapsed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he collapsed, he fell. Where he collapsed, there he fell down, destroyed.
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 out. Sisera's mother cried out through the lattice, 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why are the hoofbeats of his chariots delayed?'
29 Nanoiñe aze o ana-donak’ ampela’e mahihitseo, Eka nifanointoiñe ama’e o fivola’eo,
Her wise princesses answered her; indeed, she answers 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 womb or two for every man; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, A spoil of dyed garments embroidered, Of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, for the neck of the plunderer?'
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, LORD, but let those who love you be as the sun when it rises forth in its strength." And the land had rest forty years.
