Abbootii Murtii 5
1 Gaafas Debooraa fi Baaraaqi ilmi Abiinooʼam akkana jedhanii faarfatan:
At that time Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, made this song, saying:
2 “Yommuu ilmaan moototaa Israaʼelin hoogganan, yommuu sabni Israaʼelis jaallatee of kennutti Waaqayyoon galateeffadhaa!
Because of the flowing hair of the fighters in Israel, because the people gave themselves freely, give praise to the Lord.
3 “Yaa mootota, waan kana dhagaʼaa! Bulchitoonnis dhaggeeffadhaa! Waaqayyoon nan faarfadha; amma illee nan faarfadha; Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliif nan weeddisa.
Give attention, O kings; give ear, O rulers; I, even I, will make a song to the Lord; I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel.
4 “Yaa Waaqayyo, yeroo ati biyya Seeʼiirii baate, yeroo ati biyya Edoomii kaate, lafti ni sochoote; samiiwwanis bokkaa, duumessoonnis bishaan gad roobsan.
Lord, when you went out from Seir, moving like an army from the field of Edom, the earth was shaking and the heavens were troubled, and the clouds were dropping water.
5 Tulluuwwan fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa Siinaa duratti, fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel duratti ni raafaman.
The mountains were shaking before the Lord, before the Lord, the God of Israel.
6 “Bara Ilma Anaat, jabana Shamgaar, bara Yaaʼeel keessa daandiiwwan ni onan; karaa deemtonnis daandii jajalʼaa irra deeman.
In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were not used, and travellers went by side roads.
7 Hamma ani Debooraan, haadha taʼee Israaʼeliif kaʼutti, gandoonni Israaʼel duwwaa hafu.
Country towns were no more in Israel, were no more, till you, Deborah, came up, till you came up as a mother in Israel.
8 Yommuu isaan waaqota haaraa filatanitti, waraanni hamma karra magaalaatti dhufe; gaachanni yookaan eeboon tokko, Israaʼeloota kuma afurtama gidduutti hin argamne.
They had no one to make arms, there were no more armed men in the towns; was there a body-cover or a spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 Garaan koo bulchitoota Israaʼel kanneen fedhiidhaan saba gidduutti argaman wajjin jira. Waaqayyoon leellisaa!
Come, you rulers of Israel, you who gave yourselves freely among the people: give praise to the Lord.
10 “Isin warri harroota adaadii yaabbatan, warri kooraa baladii qabu irra teessan, warri karaa irra deemtan hubadhaa;
Let them give thought to it, who go on white asses, and those who are walking on the road.
11 sagalee faarfattootaa dhagaʼaa. Isaan hojii qajeelummaa Waaqayyoo, hojii qajeelummaa loltoonni isaa Israaʼel keessatti godhan odeessu. “Ergasii saboonni Waaqayyoo, gara karra magaalattiitti gad buʼan.
Give ear to the women laughing by the water-springs; there they will give again the story of the upright acts of the Lord, all the upright acts of his arm in Israel.
12 ‘Yaa Debooraa! Dammaqi; dammaqi; dammaqi; dammaqi; faarfannaas faarfadhu! Yaa Baaraaqi! Dammaqi; yaa ilma Abiinooʼam boojiʼamtoota kee boojiʼii fudhadhu.’
Awake! awake! Deborah: awake! awake! give a song: Up! Barak, and take prisoner those who took you prisoner, O son of Abinoam.
13 “Namoonni hafanis, gara warra gurguddaatti gad buʼan; sabni Waaqayyoos, akka loltuu jabaatti gara koo dhufe.
Then the chiefs went down to the doors; the Lord's people went down among the strong ones.
14 Warri hiddi isaanii Amaaleq keessa jiru tokko tokkos Efreem dhufan; Beniyaamis namoota si duukaa buʼan wajjin ture. Ajajjoonni loltoota Maakiir, warri bokkuu ajajjuu qabatanis Zebuuloonii gad buʼan.
Out of Ephraim they came down into the valley; after you, Benjamin, among your tribesmen; from Machir came down the captains, and from Zebulun those in whose hand is the ruler's rod.
15 Hangafoonni Yisaakor Debooraa wajjin turan; Yisaakoris Baaraaqi wajjin ture; innis Baaraaqi wajjin gara sululaatti gad buʼe. Gosa Ruubeen gidduu, qorannoo yaadaa guddaatu ture.
Your chiefs, Issachar, were with Deborah; and Naphtali was true to Barak; into the valley they went rushing out at his feet. In Reuben there were divisions, and great searchings of heart.
16 Ati maaliif marʼachuu isaanii dhagaʼuuf jettee gola bushaayee keessa turte? Gosa Ruubeen gidduu, qorannoo yaadaa guddaa isaatu ture.
Why did you keep quiet among the sheep, hearing nothing but the watchers piping to the flocks?
17 Giliʼaad Yordaanos gama taaʼe; Daan maaliif dooniiwwan keessatti hafe? Aasheer qarqara galaanaatti hafe; buufata isaa keessas ture.
Gilead was living over Jordan; and Dan was waiting in his ships; Asher kept in his place by the sea's edge, living by his inlets.
18 Sabni Zebuuloon duʼaaf of saaxile; Niftaalemis gaarran biyya isaa irratti akkasuma godhe.
It was the people of Zebulun who put their lives in danger, even to death, with Naphtali on the high places of the field.
19 “Mootonni dhufanii lolan; mootonni Kanaʼaanis Taʼanaakitti bishaanota Megidoo biratti lolan; boojuu meetii tokko illee hin fudhanne.
The kings came on to the fight, the kings of Canaan were warring; in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: they took no profit in money.
20 Samii keessaa urjiiwwan ni lolan; adeemsa isaanii irrattis Siisaaraadhaan lolan.
The stars from heaven were fighting; from their highways they were fighting against Sisera.
21 Lagni durii, lagni Qiishoon, lagni Qiishoon sun haxaaʼee isaan fudhate. Yaa lubbuu ko, jabaadhuu fuul duratti deemi!
The river Kishon took them violently away, stopping their flight, the river Kishon. Give praise, O my soul, to the strength of the Lord!
22 Kotteen fardeenii guddisee didiche; ni gulufan; jabeessaniis gulufan.
Then loudly the feet of the horses were sounding with the stamping, the stamping of their war-horses.
23 Ergamaan Waaqayyoos, ‘Meerozin abaaraa. Saba ishees jabeessaatii abaaraa; akka Waaqayyo warra jajjabootti kaʼu gargaaruudhaaf, isaan Waaqayyoon gargaaruudhaaf hin dhufneetii’ jedhe.
A curse, a curse on Meroz! said the angel of the Lord. A bitter curse on her townspeople! Because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among the strong ones.
24 “Yaaʼeel niitiin Hebeer Qeenichaa sun dubartoota hunda keessaa haa eebbifamtu; isheen dubartoota dunkaana keessa jiraatan hunda keessaa haa eebbifamtu.
Blessings be on Jael, more than on all women! Blessings greater than on any in the tents!
25 Inni bishaan kadhate; isheen immoo aannan kenniteef; qabee ulfinaatti itittuu dhiʼeessiteef.
His request was for water, she gave him milk; she put butter before him on a fair plate.
26 Harka ishee gara qofoo dunkaanaatti hiixatte; harka ishee mirgaatiin burruusa fudhatte; isheenis Siisaaraa dhooftee mataa isaa buruqsite; waraantees illee isaa keessa fullaafte.
She put out her hand to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workman's hammer; and she gave Sisera a blow, crushing his head, wounding and driving through his brow.
27 Innis miilla ishee jalatti gombifame; kufee diriires. Miilla ishee jalatti gombifame; ni kufe; iddoo gombifamettis kufee duʼe.
Bent at her feet he went down, he was stretched out; bent at her feet he went down; where he was bent down, there he went down in death.
28 “Haati Siisaaraa foddaa keessaan gad ilaalte; qaawwa keessaanis iyyitee, ‘Gaariin isaa maaliif dhufuuf lafa irra harkifate? Didichuun gaariiwwan isaa maaliif ture?’ jette.
Looking out from the window she gave a cry, the mother of Sisera was crying out through the window, Why is his carriage so long in coming? When will the noise of his wheels be sounding?
29 Dubartoota ishee keessaa isheen ogeettiin deebii kenniteef; taʼus isheen ofuma isheetiin deebiftee,
Her wise women gave answer to her, yes, she made answer again to herself,
30 ‘Isaan boojuu argatanii addaan qoodachuutti jiru mitii? Tokkoon tokkoon namaa dubartii tokko tokko yookaan lama lama argata mitii? Siisaaraadhaaf uffanni boojuu kan halluudhaan faayeffame, uffanni halluudhaan miidhagfamee hodhame, morma kootiif immoo uffata akka malee miidhagfamee hodhame qoodu mitii? Kun hundi boojuu dha.’
Are they not getting, are they not parting the goods among them: a young girl or two to every man; and to Sisera robes of coloured needlework, worked in fair colours on this side and on that, for the neck of the queen?
31 “Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo, diinonni kee hundi haa barbadaaʼani! Warri si jaallatan garuu akka biiftuu, ishee humna guutuun baatu sanaa haa taʼan.” Ergasii biyyattiin waggaa afurtama nagaa argatte.
So may destruction come on all your haters, O Lord; but let your lovers be like the sun going out in his strength. And for forty years the land had peace.
