Abbootii Murtii 5
1 Gaafas Debooraa fi Baaraaqi ilmi Abiinooʼam akkana jedhanii faarfatan:
Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2 “Yommuu ilmaan moototaa Israaʼelin hoogganan, yommuu sabni Israaʼelis jaallatee of kennutti Waaqayyoon galateeffadhaa!
Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
3 “Yaa mootota, waan kana dhagaʼaa! Bulchitoonnis dhaggeeffadhaa! Waaqayyoon nan faarfadha; amma illee nan faarfadha; Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliif nan weeddisa.
Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, [even] I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing [praise] to the LORD 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 thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.
5 Tulluuwwan fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa Siinaa duratti, fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel duratti ni raafaman.
The mountains melted from before the LORD, [even] that Sinai from before the LORD 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 unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.
7 Hamma ani Debooraan, haadha taʼee Israaʼeliif kaʼutti, gandoonni Israaʼel duwwaa hafu.
[The inhabitants of] the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose 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 chose new gods; then [was] war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 Garaan koo bulchitoota Israaʼel kanneen fedhiidhaan saba gidduutti argaman wajjin jira. Waaqayyoon leellisaa!
My heart [is] toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
10 “Isin warri harroota adaadii yaabbatan, warri kooraa baladii qabu irra teessan, warri karaa irra deemtan hubadhaa;
Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
11 sagalee faarfattootaa dhagaʼaa. Isaan hojii qajeelummaa Waaqayyoo, hojii qajeelummaa loltoonni isaa Israaʼel keessatti godhan odeessu. “Ergasii saboonni Waaqayyoo, gara karra magaalattiitti gad buʼan.
[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 ‘Yaa Debooraa! Dammaqi; dammaqi; dammaqi; dammaqi; faarfannaas faarfadhu! Yaa Baaraaqi! Dammaqi; yaa ilma Abiinooʼam boojiʼamtoota kee boojiʼii fudhadhu.’
Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13 “Namoonni hafanis, gara warra gurguddaatti gad buʼan; sabni Waaqayyoos, akka loltuu jabaatti gara koo dhufe.
Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
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 [was there] a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
15 Hangafoonni Yisaakor Debooraa wajjin turan; Yisaakoris Baaraaqi wajjin ture; innis Baaraaqi wajjin gara sululaatti gad buʼe. Gosa Ruubeen gidduu, qorannoo yaadaa guddaatu ture.
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 Ati maaliif marʼachuu isaanii dhagaʼuuf jettee gola bushaayee keessa turte? Gosa Ruubeen gidduu, qorannoo yaadaa guddaa isaatu ture.
Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben [there were] great searchings of heart.
17 Giliʼaad Yordaanos gama taaʼe; Daan maaliif dooniiwwan keessatti hafe? Aasheer qarqara galaanaatti hafe; buufata isaa keessas ture.
Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
18 Sabni Zebuuloon duʼaaf of saaxile; Niftaalemis gaarran biyya isaa irratti akkasuma godhe.
Zebulun and Naphtali [were] a people [that] jeoparded their lives unto the death in 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 [and] fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
20 Samii keessaa urjiiwwan ni lolan; adeemsa isaanii irrattis Siisaaraadhaan lolan.
They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 Lagni durii, lagni Qiishoon, lagni Qiishoon sun haxaaʼee isaan fudhate. Yaa lubbuu ko, jabaadhuu fuul duratti deemi!
The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
22 Kotteen fardeenii guddisee didiche; ni gulufan; jabeessaniis gulufan.
Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.
23 Ergamaan Waaqayyoos, ‘Meerozin abaaraa. Saba ishees jabeessaatii abaaraa; akka Waaqayyo warra jajjabootti kaʼu gargaaruudhaaf, isaan Waaqayyoon gargaaruudhaaf hin dhufneetii’ jedhe.
Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.
24 “Yaaʼeel niitiin Hebeer Qeenichaa sun dubartoota hunda keessaa haa eebbifamtu; isheen dubartoota dunkaana keessa jiraatan hunda keessaa haa eebbifamtu.
Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 Inni bishaan kadhate; isheen immoo aannan kenniteef; qabee ulfinaatti itittuu dhiʼeessiteef.
He asked water, [and] she gave [him] milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
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 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 Innis miilla ishee jalatti gombifame; kufee diriires. Miilla ishee jalatti gombifame; ni kufe; iddoo gombifamettis kufee duʼe.
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 “Haati Siisaaraa foddaa keessaan gad ilaalte; qaawwa keessaanis iyyitee, ‘Gaariin isaa maaliif dhufuuf lafa irra harkifate? Didichuun gaariiwwan isaa maaliif ture?’ jette.
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 Dubartoota ishee keessaa isheen ogeettiin deebii kenniteef; taʼus isheen ofuma isheetiin deebiftee,
Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer 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.’
Have they not sped? have they [not] divided the prey; to every man a damsel [or] two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, [meet] for the necks of [them that take] the spoil?
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 let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but [let] them that love him [be] as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
