Xaakinnada 5
1 Deedna maalintaas waxaa gabyay Debooraah iyo Baaraaq ina Abiinocam, oo waxay yidhaahdeen,
On that day, Deborah sang this song, along with Barak:
2 Madaxdii baa reer binu Israa'iil hoggaamisay, Dadkiina iyagoo oggol ayay isbixiyeen, Taas aawadeed Rabbiga ammaana.
“When the leaders of the Israeli people really lead them, and the people follow them, [it is time to] praise Yahweh!
3 Bal maqla, Boqorradow; oo dhegaysta, Amiirradow, Anigu anaa u gabyi doona Rabbiga; Ammaan baan ugu gabyi doonaa Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil.
Listen, you kings! Pay attention, you leaders! I will sing to Yahweh. With this song I will praise Yahweh, the God we Israelis worship.
4 Rabbiyow, markaad Seciir ka baxday, Iyo markaad ku socotay berrinkii Edom, Ayaa dhulku gariiray, oo samadiina waa soo da'day, Daruurihiina biyay soo daadsheen.
O Yahweh, when you came from Seir, when you marched from that land [better known as] Edom, the earth shook, and rain poured down from the skies.
5 Buurihiina way u gariireen Rabbiga aawadiis, Xataa Siinaydaasu way u gariirtay Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil aawadiis.
The mountains shook when you came, just like Sinai Mountain shook when you appeared there, because you are Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship.
6 Wakhtigii Shamgar ina Canaad, Iyo wakhtigii Yaaceel, jidadka waaweynu cidlay ahaayeen, Oo socotooyinkuna waxay mari jireen waddooyin qalqalloocan.
“When Shamgar was our leader and when Jael ruled us, [we were afraid to walk on] the main roads; instead, caravans of travelers walked on winding [less traveled] roads [to avoid being molested].
7 Taliyayaashu way ka joogsadeen reer binu Israa'iil, Way joogsadeen ilaa aan anigoo Debooraah ahu kacay, Ilaa aan kacay anigoo reer binu Israa'iil hooyo u ah.
People left their small villages, [and moved into the walled cities] until I, Deborah, became their leader. [I became like] a mother to the Israeli people.
8 Waxay doorteen ilaahyo cusub; Oo markaasaa dagaal irdaha ka dhacay. Afartan kun oo reer binu Israa'iil Ma lagu arkay gaashaan ama waran?
When the Israeli people [abandoned Yahweh and] chose new gods, enemies attacked the gates of the cities, and then [they took away] the shields and spears from 40,000 Israeli soldiers. Not one shield or spear was left.
9 Qalbigaygu wuxuu la jiraa taliyayaasha reer binu Israa'iil, Kuwaasoo iyagoo oggol isku bixiyey dadka dhexdiisa. Rabbiga ammaana.
I am thankful for the leaders and soldiers who volunteered [to fight]. Praise Yahweh [for them!]
10 Bal taas ka warama kuwiinna dameerraha cadcad fuushan, Iyo kuwiinna ku fadhiya gogosha wanaagsan, Iyo kuwiinna jidka marow.
“You wealthy people who ride on donkeys, sitting on nice padded saddles, and you people who just walk on the road, you all listen!
11 Meelaha biyaha laga dhaansado, oo ka fog qaylada qaansoleyda, Halkaasay ka maqashiin doonaan falimihii Rabbiga oo xaqa ahaa, Kuwaas oo ahaa falimihii xaqa ahaa oo uu ku xukumay reer binu Israa'iil. Taas ka dibna dadkii Rabbigu waxay tageen xagga irdaha.
Listen to the voices of the singers who gather at the places where [the animals drink] water. They tell about how Yahweh acted righteously when he enabled the Israeli warriors to conquer [their enemies]. “Yahweh’s people marched down to the gates of our city.
12 Toos, toos, Debooraahoy; Toos, toos, oo gabay ku gabay; Baaraaqow, kac, oo kaxayso maxaabiistaada, ina Abiinocamow.
The people came to my house and shouted, ‘Deborah, wake up! Wake up and start singing!’ They also shouted, ‘Barak, son of Abinoam, get up, and capture our enemies!’
13 Markaasay raggii gobta ahaa intiisii hadhay iyo dadkii soo degeen; Rabbigu waa ii yimid oo wuxuu iiga hiiliyey kuwii xoogga badnaa.
Later, some of the Israeli people came down [from Tabor Mountain] with us, their leaders. These men who belonged to Yahweh came with me to fight their strong enemies.
14 Reer Efrayim waxaa ka soo baxay kuwo xididkoodii yahay Camaaleq; Dabadeedna, adiga reer Benyaamiinow, iyo dadkaaga kugu dhex jira, Oo reer Maakiirna waxaa ka soo baxay taliyayaal, Reer Sebulunna waxaa ka yimid kuwo haya usha sirkaalka wax qora.
Some came from the tribe descended from Ephraim. They came from land that once belonged to the descendants of Amalek. And men from the tribe descended from Benjamin followed them. Troops from the group descended from Makir also came down, and officers from the tribe descended from Zebulun came down, carrying staffs.
15 Oo amiirradii reer Isaakaarna waxay la jireen Debooraah; Oo sidii reer Isaakaar ahaa ayaa Baaraaqna ahaa; Oo xagga dooxada ayay u ordeen iyagoo daba socda. Oo biyo mareenka reer Ruubeen agtiisa Wax weyn baa lagu goostay.
Leaders from the tribes descended from Issachar joined Barak and me. They followed Barak, rushing down into the valley. But men from the tribe descended from Reuben could not decide whether or not to join us.
16 Maxaad xeryaha idaha u fadhiday, Inaad maqasho biilbiilaha idaha u yeedhaya? Biyo mareenka reer Ruubeen agtiisa Aad baa qalbiyo loogu baadhay.
Why did you men stay at your sheep pens, waiting to hear the shepherds whistle for their flocks of sheep to come to the pens? Men in the tribe descended from Reuben could not decide whether they would join us to fight our enemies, or not.
17 Gilecaad wuxuu joogay Urdun shishadiisa; Reer Daanna muxuu doonniyaha ugu hadhay? Reer Aasheer wuxuu weli fadhiyey xeebta badda, Oo wuxuu ag joogay durdurradiisa.
Similarly, the men living in the Gilead area stayed at home, east of the Jordan River. And the men from the tribe descended from Dan, why did they stay home? The tribe descended from Asher sat by the seashore. They stayed in their coves.
18 Reer Sebulun wuxuu ahaa dad geerida isku biimeeyey, Reer Naftaalina wuxuu isku biimeeyey meelaha dhaadheer oo duurka.
But men from the tribe descended from Zebulun risked (their lives/were ready to die fighting) on the battlefield, and men descended from Naphtali were ready to do that, also.
19 Boqorradii waa yimaadeen oo dirireen, Dabadeedna boqorradii reer Kancaanna waxay ku dirireen Tacanaag taas oo u dhow biyaha Megiddoo: Oo lacag faa'iido ah ma ay qaadan.
“The kings of Canaan fought us at Taanach, near the springs in Megiddo [Valley]. [But since they did not defeat us], they did not carry away any silver or other treasures from the battle.
20 Waxay kala dirireen xagga samada, Xiddiguhuna meeshooday Siiseraa kala dirireen.
[It was as though] the stars in the sky fought for us [and as though] those stars in their paths fought against Sisera.
21 Oo waxaa qaaday Webi Qiishoon, Webiga duqa ah oo Qiishoon la yidhaahdo. Naftaydoy, adigoo xoog leh hore u soco.
The Kishon River swept them away— that river that has been there for ages. I will tell myself to be brave and continue marching on.
22 Markaasay farduhu qoobabkoodii dhulka ku garaacayeen, Maxaa yeelay, kuwoodii xoogga badnaa ayaa socod doonayay.
The hooves of the horses of Sisera’s [army] pounded the ground. Those powerful horses kept galloping along.
23 Oo malaa'igtii Rabbigu waxay tidhi, Meeroos habaara, Oo aad u habaara dadka deggan, Maxaa yeelay, uma ay iman inay Rabbiga caawiyaan Oo ay uga hiiliyaan kuwa xoogga badan.
The angel sent by Yahweh said, ‘Curse the people of Meroz [town], because they did not come to help Yahweh to defeat the mighty warriors [of Canaan].’
24 Waxaa dumarka oo dhan ka barako badnaan doonta Yaaceel Oo ah Heberkii reer Qeyn naagtiisa, Way ka barako badnaan doontaa naagaha teendhooyinka deggan.
“But God is very pleased with Jael, the wife of Heber from the Ken people-group. He is more pleased with her than with all the other women who live in tents.
25 Biyuu weyddiistay, oo waxay siisay caano; Oo saxan wanaagsan ayay subag ugu keentay.
Sisera asked for some water, but Jael gave him some milk. She brought him some yogurt/curds in a bowl that was suitable for kings.
26 Oo waxay gacan ku qabsatay dhidibkii, Oo gacanteedii midigna dubbihii ragga shaqeeya; Oo waxay dubbihii ku dhufatay Siiseraa, oo dhidibkii madaxiisay ka dusisay, Haah, waxay ku mudday oo ka mudhbixisay dhafoorradiisa.
Then, [when he was asleep], she reached for a tent peg with her left hand, and she reached for a hammer with her right hand. She hit Sisera hard with it and crushed his head. She pounded the tent peg right through his head.
27 Oo cagaheeda agtooda ayuu ku foororsaday oo dhacay oo jiifsaday: Cagaheeda agtooda ayuu ku foororsaday oo dhacay: Oo meeshuu ku foororsaday ayuu ku dhacay isagoo meyd ah.
He collapsed and fell dead at her feet.
28 Siiseraa hooyadiis daaqadday wax ka eegtay oo qaylisay, Shabaggay ka qaylisay oo tidhi, Maxaa gaadhifaraskiisii u raagay? Oo maxaa dib u riday giringirihii gaadhifardoodkiisa?
“Sisera’s mother looked out from her window. She waited for him to return. She said, ‘Why is he taking so long to come home in his chariot? Why don’t I hear the sound of the wheels of his chariot?’
29 Dumarkeedii caqliga lahaa way jawaabeen, Oo iyana way isu jawaabtay.
One wise woman replied to her, and she [kept consoling herself by] repeating those words:
30 Oo waxay tidhi, Miyaanay wax helin oo boolidii qaybsan? Oo nin kastaaba miyaanu helin gabadh ama laba gabdhood; Oo Siiseraana sow ma helin dhar booli ah oo kala midab ah, Oo miyaanu helin daabac kala midab ah, Oo miyaanu helin daabac kala midab ah oo labada dhan ku yaal, oo boolida qoortooda sudhan?
‘Perhaps they are dividing up the things and the people they captured after the battle. Each soldier will get one or two women. Sisera will get some beautiful robes, and some beautiful embroidered robes for me.’
31 Rabbiyow, cadaawayaashaada oo dhammu sidaas ha u halligmeen; Laakiinse kuwa Rabbiga jecel oo dhammu ha noqdeen sida qorraxda markay xooggeeda la soo baxdo. Oo dalkiina afartan sannadood wuu xasilloonaa.
But [that is not what happened]! Yahweh, I hope that all your enemies will die as Sisera did! And I desire that all those who love you will be as strong as the sun when it rises!
