Vatongi 5
1 Nomusi uyo Dhibhora naBharaki mwanakomana waAbhinoami vakaimba rwiyo urwu runoti:
Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
2 “Kana machinda aIsraeri achitungamirira, kana vanhu vachizvipira pachavo Jehovha ngaarumbidzwe!”
"Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, YHWH.
3 “Inzwai izvi, imi madzimambo! Teererai imi vatongi! Ndichaimbira Jehovha, ini ndichaimba; ndichaimbira Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri.
"Hear, you kings. Give ear, you princes. I, even I, will sing to YHWH. I will sing praise to YHWH, the God of Israel.
4 “Haiwa Jehovha, pamakabuda kubva muSeiri, pamakafamba muchibva munyika yeEdhomu, Nyika yakadengenyeka, matenga akadurura, makore akadurura mvura pasi.
"YHWH, 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 Makomo akadengenyeka pamberi paJehovha, Iye weSinai, pamberi paJehovha, Mwari weIsraeri.
The mountains quaked at the presence of YHWH, even Sinai, at the presence of YHWH, the God of Israel.
6 “Mumazuva aShamugari mwanakomana waAnati, mumazuva aJaeri, migwagwa yakasiyiwa; vafambi vakafamba nenzira dzinopoterera.
"In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through byways.
7 Upenyu hwomumisha hwakapera, hwakapera kusvikira ini Dhibhora, ndasimuka, ndasimuka ini mai muIsraeri.
The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother in Israel.
8 Pavakasarudza vamwari vatsva, hondo yakauya ichibva nokumasuo eguta, uye hakuna nhoo kana pfumo zvakaonekwa pakati pezviuru makumi mana muIsraeri.
They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 Mwoyo wangu uri pamachinda eIsraeri, navaya vanozvipira pakati pavanhu. Rumbidzai Jehovha!
My heart is toward the leaders of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless YHWH.
10 “Imi munotasva mbongoro chena, mugere pamachira ezvigaro zvenyu, nemi munofamba munzira, cherechedzai
"Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on saddle blankets, and you who walk by the way.
11 inzwi ravaimbi panzvimbo dzemvura. Vanodetemba mabasa akarurama aJehovha, Mabasa akarurama avarwi vake muIsraeri. “Ipapo vanhu vaJehovha vakaburuka vakaenda kusuo reguta.
Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they will rehearse the righteous acts of YHWH, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. "Then the people of YHWH went down to the gates.
12 ‘Muka, muka, Dhibhora! Muka, muka, uimbe rwiyo! Simuka, Bharaki! Tapa vatapwa vako, iwe mwanakomana waAbhinoami.’
'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 “Ipapo varume vakanga vasara vakaburuka vakaenda kumakurukota; vanhu vaJehovha vakauya kwandiri navane simba.
"Then a remnant of the nobles came down. The people of YHWH marched down to me against the mighty.
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.
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 Machinda aIsakari akanga ana Dhibhora; hongu Isakari akanga ana Bharaki, vachimhanyira kumupata vachimutevera. Mudunhu raRubheni makanga muno kunzvera kwomwoyo kukuru.
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 Seiko wakagara pakati pezvoto kuti unzwe muridzo unoridzirwa matanga emakwai? Mudunhu raRubheni makanga muno kunzvera kwomwoyo kukuru.
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 Gireadhi akagara mhiri kwaJorodhani. Uye Dhani akasarireiko pazvikepe? Asha akasara zvake pamahombekombe Uye akagara zvake panopinda mvura dzegungwa.
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 Vanhu veZebhuruni vakaisa upenyu hwavo panjodzi; neNafutari yakadarowo panzvimbo dzakakwirira dzeminda.
Zebulun was a people that risked their lives even to death; Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
19 “Madzimambo akauya, akarwa; madzimambo eKenani akarwa paTaanaki pamvura zhinji yeMegidho, asi havana kudzoka vakatakura sirivha, kana zvakapambwa.
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 Kubva kumatenga nyeredzi dzakarwa, dziri panzira dzadzo dzakarwa naSisera.
From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
21 Rwizi Kishoni rwakavakukura, irwo rwizi rwakare, rwizi Kishoni. Pfuurira mberi, mweya wangu, simba!
The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
22 Ipapo mahwanda amabhiza akatinhira, kumhanya, kumhanya kwoune simba.
Then the horse hoofs pounded because of the galloping, the galloping of their steeds.
23 Mutumwa waJehovha akati, ‘Tuka Merozi. Tuka vanhu varo zvikuru kwazvo, nokuti havana kuuya kuzobatsira Jehovha, kubatsira Jehovha kurwisa vane simba.’
Curse Meroz, said the angel of YHWH. Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they did not come to help YHWH, to help YHWH against the mighty.
24 “Jaeri ngaave mukadzi akaropafadzwa zvikuru, iye mukadzi waHebheri muKeni, akaropafadzwa kwazvo kupfuura vakadzi vagere mutende.
Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 Akakumbira mvura, iye akamupa mukaka; akamuvigira mukaka wakakora mundiro yakafanira makurukota.
He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him curds in a princely bowl.
26 Ruoko rwake rwakatambanudzirwa pambambo yetende, ruoko rwake rworudyi kunyundo yomuvezi. Akabaya Sisera, akapwanya musoro wake, akapwanya uye akabvoora zvavovo zvake.
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 Patsoka dzake, akanyura, akawa; hoyo akatandavarapo. Patsoka dzake akanyura, akawa; paakanyura, ndipo paakawira, akafa.
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 “Napawindo mai vaSisera vakadongorera; vari seri kworutanda, vakadanidzira vachiti, ‘Seiko ngoro yake yanonoka kusvika? Seiko kurira kwengoro dzake kwanonoka?’
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 Vakadzi vokwake vakachenjera kukunda vose vanomupindura; zvirokwazvo, anoramba achiti,
Her wise princesses answered her; indeed, she answers herself,
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?’
'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 “Saka vavengi venyu vose ngavaparare, imi Jehovha! Asi vanokudai ngavave sezuva parinobuda nesimba raro.” Ipapo nyika yakava norugare kwamakore makumi mana.
So let all your enemies perish, YHWH, but let those who love you be as the sun when it rises forth in its strength." And the land had rest forty years.
