Vatongi 5
1 Nomusi uyo Dhibhora naBharaki mwanakomana waAbhinoami vakaimba rwiyo urwu runoti:
“Tsiku limenelo Debora ndi Baraki mwana wa Abinoamu anayimba nyimbo iyi:
2 “Kana machinda aIsraeri achitungamirira, kana vanhu vachizvipira pachavo Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe!”
“Popeza kuti atsogoleri anatsogoleradi mʼdziko la Israeli; ndipo anthu anadzipereka okha mwa ufulu, tamandani Yehova:
3 “Inzwai izvi, imi madzimambo! Teererai imi vatongi! Ndichaimbira Jehovha, ini ndichaimba; ndichaimbira Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri.
“Imvani inu mafumu! Tcherani khutu, atsogoleri inu! Ndidzayimba nyimbo, ndidzayimbira Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli nyimbo yokoma.
4 “Haiwa Jehovha, pamakabuda kubva muSeiri, pamakafamba muchibva munyika yeEdhomu, Nyika yakadengenyeka, matenga akadurura, makore akadurura mvura pasi.
“Inu Yehova, pamene munkatuluka mu Seiri, pamene mumayenda kuchokera mʼdziko la Edomu, dziko linagwedezeka, mitambo inasungunuka nigwetsa madzi.
5 Makomo akadengenyeka pamberi paJehovha, Iye weSinai, pamberi paJehovha, Mwari weIsraeri.
Mapiri anagwedezeka pamaso pa Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli.
6 “Mumazuva aShamugari mwanakomana waAnati, mumazuva aJaeri, migwagwa yakasiyiwa; vafambi vakafamba nenzira dzinopoterera.
“Pa nthawi ya Samugara mwana wa Anati, pa nthawi ya Yaeli, misewu inasiyidwa; alendo ankangoyenda mʼtinjira takumbali.
7 Upenyu hwomumisha hwakapera, hwakapera kusvikira ini Dhibhora, ndasimuka, ndasimuka ini mai muIsraeri.
Anthu a ku midzi anathawa; mu Israeli munalibe midzi mpaka pamene iwe Debora unafika; unafika ngati mayi ku Israeli.
8 Pavakasarudza vamwari vatsva, hondo yakauya ichibva nokumasuo eguta, uye hakuna nhoo kana pfumo zvakaonekwa pakati pezviuru makumi mana muIsraeri.
Pamene anasankha milungu ina, nkhondo inabwera ku zipata za mzinda, ndipo chishango kapena mkondo sizinapezeke pakati pa anthu 40,000 mu Israeli.
9 Mwoyo wangu uri pamachinda eIsraeri, navaya vanozvipira pakati pavanhu. Rumbidzai Jehovha!
Mtima wanga uli ndi atsogoleri a Israeli, uli ndi anthu amene anadzipereka okha mwaufulu pakati pa anthu. Tamandani Yehova!
10 “Imi munotasva mbongoro chena, mugere pamachira ezvigaro zvenyu, nemi munofamba munzira, cherechedzai
“Inu okwera pa abulu oyera, okhala pa zishalo, ndi inu oyenda pa msewu, yankhulani.
11 inzwi ravaimbi panzvimbo dzemvura. Vanodetemba mabasa akarurama aJehovha, Mabasa akarurama avarwi vake muIsraeri. “Ipapo vanhu vaJehovha vakaburuka vakaenda kusuo reguta.
Ku zitsime, kutali ndi phokoso la a mauta; kumeneko akusimba za kuti Yehova wapambana; akusimba kuti Yehova walipsira anthu ake mu Israeli. “Choncho anthu a Yehova anasonkhana ku zipata za mzinda.
12 ‘Muka, muka, Dhibhora! Muka, muka, uimbe rwiyo! Simuka, Bharaki! Tapa vatapwa vako, iwe mwanakomana waAbhinoami.’
Anati, ‘Tsogolera ndiwe, Debora, tsogolera; tsogolera ndiwe, tsogolera, imba nyimbo. Iwe Baraki! nyamuka Tsogolera akapolo ako, iwe mwana wa Abinoamu.’
13 “Ipapo varume vakanga vasara vakaburuka vakaenda kumakurukota; vanhu vaJehovha vakauya kwandiri navane simba.
“Kenaka anthu okhulupirika anatsatira atsogoleri awo; anthu a Yehova anapita kukamenyera Yehova nkhondo kulimbana ndi adani amphamvu.
14 Vamwe vakauya vachibva kwaEfuremu, midzi yavo yakanga iri muna Amareki; Bhenjamini akanga ari pakati pavanhu vakakutevera iwe. Kubva kuna Makiri vatungamiri vakaburuka, kubva kuZebhuruni avo vanotakura tsvimbo yomutungamiri wehondo.
Anakalowa mʼchigwa kuchokera ku Efereimu; akutsatira iwe Benjamini ndi abale ako. Akulu a ankhondo anachokera ku Makiri, ndipo onyamula ndodo ya udindo anachokera ku Zebuloni.
15 Machinda aIsakari akanga ana Dhibhora; hongu Isakari akanga ana Bharaki, vachimhanyira kumupata vachimutevera. Mudunhu raRubheni makanga muno kunzvera kwomwoyo kukuru.
Olamulira a Isakara anali pamodzi ndi Debora; inde, anthu ochokera ku Isakara anatsatanso Baraki, ndipo anathamangira ku chigwa akumutsatira. Koma pakati pa mafuko a Rubeni panali kusinkhasinkha mtima kwambiri osadziwa chenicheni choyenera kuchita.
16 Seiko wakagara pakati pezvoto kuti unzwe muridzo unoridzirwa matanga emakwai? Mudunhu raRubheni makanga muno kunzvera kwomwoyo kukuru.
Chifukwa chiyani munangokhala ku makola a nkhosa nʼkumangomvetsera zitoliro zoyitanira nkhosa? Pakati pa anthu a fuko la Rubeni panali kusinkhasinkha mtima kwambiri osadziwa chenicheni choyenera kuti achite.
17 Gireadhi akagara mhiri kwaJorodhani. Uye Dhani akasarireiko pazvikepe? Asha akasara zvake pamahombekombe Uye akagara zvake panopinda mvura dzegungwa.
Agiliyadi anatsala pa tsidya la Yorodani. Ndipo nʼchifukwa chiyani anthu afuko la Dani anatsarira mʼsitima za pa madzi? Aseri anali pa gombe la Nyanja; anangokhala mʼmadooko mwawo.
18 Vanhu veZebhuruni vakaisa upenyu hwavo panjodzi; neNafutari yakadarowo panzvimbo dzakakwirira dzeminda.
Azebuloni ndi anthu amene anayika moyo wawo mʼzoopsa. Nawonso anthu a fuko la Nafutali anayika miyoyo yawo pa chiswe pomenya nkhondo pamwamba pa mapiri.
19 “Madzimambo akauya, akarwa; madzimambo eKenani akarwa paTaanaki pamvura zhinji yeMegidho, asi havana kudzoka vakatakura sirivha, kana zvakapambwa.
“Mafumu anabwera, anachita nkhondo; mafumu Akanaani anachita nkhondo ku Tanaki pafupi ndi madzi a ku Megido, koma sanatengeko zofunkha zasiliva.
20 Kubva kumatenga nyeredzi dzakarwa, dziri panzira dzadzo dzakarwa naSisera.
Ngakhalenso nyenyezi zakumwamba zinachita nkhondo, zinathira nkhondo Sisera, zikuyenda mʼnjira zake.
21 Rwizi Kishoni rwakavakukura, irwo rwizi rwakare, rwizi Kishoni. Pfuurira mberi, mweya wangu, simba!
Mtsinje wa Kisoni unawakokolola, chigumula cha mtsinje wa Kisoni chinawakokolola. Mtima wanga, yenda mwamphamvu, limbika!
22 Ipapo mahwanda amabhiza akatinhira, kumhanya, kumhanya kwoune simba.
Ndipo ziboda za ngʼombe zazimuna zinachita phokoso lalikulu, akavalo ali pa liwiro, akuthamanga kwambiri.
23 Mutumwa waJehovha akati, ‘Tuka Merozi. Tuka vanhu varo zvikuru kwazvo, nokuti havana kuuya kuzobatsira Jehovha, kubatsira Jehovha kurwisa vane simba.’
Mngelo wa Yehova anati ‘Tembererani Merozi.’ ‘Tembererani nzika zake mwaukali, chifukwa sanabwere kudzathandiza Yehova, kulimbana ndi adani ake amphamvu.’
24 “Jaeri ngaave mukadzi akaropafadzwa zvikuru, iye mukadzi waHebheri muKeni, akaropafadzwa kwazvo kupfuura vakadzi vagere mutende.
“Akhale wodala kupambana akazi onse, Yaeli mkazi wa Heberi Mkeni; inde mwa akazi onse okhala mʼdziko, akhale wodala iyeyu.
25 Akakumbira mvura, iye akamupa mukaka; akamuvigira mukaka wakakora mundiro yakafanira makurukota.
Munthu uja anapempha madzi akumwa, koma iye anamupatsa mkaka; anamupatsa chambiko mʼchikho cha wolemekezeka.
26 Ruoko rwake rwakatambanudzirwa pambambo yetende, ruoko rwake rworudyi kunyundo yomuvezi. Akabaya Sisera, akapwanya musoro wake, akapwanya uye akabvoora zvavovo zvake.
Anatenga chikhomo cha tenti mʼdzanja lake, anatenganso nyundo ndi dzanja lake lamanja. Ndipo anakhoma nacho Sisera, anamuphwanya mutu wake, ndi kumubowola mu litsipa mwake.
27 Patsoka dzake, akanyura, akawa; hoyo akatandavarapo. Patsoka dzake akanyura, akawa; paakanyura, ndipo paakawira, akafa.
Anathifukira ku mapazi a mkaziyo nagwa, anagwa; iye anagona pamenepo. Anagwera pa mapazi a mkaziyo, iye anagwa; pamene anagwera, pamenepo anaferapo.
28 “Napawindo mai vaSisera vakadongorera; vari seri kworutanda, vakadanidzira vachiti, ‘Seiko ngoro yake yanonoka kusvika? Seiko kurira kwengoro dzake kwanonoka?’
“Amayi ake a Sisera anasuzumira pa zenera; nafuwula mokweza kuti, ‘Nʼchifukwa chiyani galeta lake lachedwa kufika? Nʼchifukwa chiyani phokoso la magaleta ake silikumveka?’
29 Vakadzi vokwake vakachenjera kukunda vose vanomupindura; zvirokwazvo, anoramba achiti,
Amayi ake anzeru kwambiri anamuyankha, ndithudi, mwiniwake anadziyankha yekha kuti,
30 ‘Ko, havasi kuwana nokugoverana zvakapambwa here vachiti, musikana mumwe chete kana vaviri pamurume mumwe chete, nguo dzina mavara dzezvakapambwa zvaSisera, nguo dzina mavara dzakarukwa, nguo dzakanyatsorukwa dzomutsipa wangu, zvose izvi zviri zvakapambwa?’
‘Kodi iwo sakufunafuna zofunkha kuti agawane; akugawana wankhondo aliyense mtsikana mmodzi kapena awiri. Sisera akumupatsa zofunkha: zovala zonyikidwa mu utoto, zoti ndizivala mʼkhosi zovala zopeta zonyika mu utoto, ndi zopeta zomavala mʼkhosi?’
31 “Saka vavengi venyu vose ngavaparare, imi Jehovha! Asi vanokudai ngavave sezuva parinobuda nesimba raro.” Ipapo nyika yakava norugare kwamakore makumi mana.
“Choncho Yehova! adani anu onse awonongeke, koma iwo amene amakukondani inu akhale ngati dzuwa pamene lituluka ndi mphamvu zake.” Ndipo dziko linakhala pa mtendere zaka makumi anayi.
