Judges 5
1 Nígbà náà ni Debora àti Baraki ọmọ Abinoamu kọ orin ní ọjọ́ náà wí pé,
THEN sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2 “Nítorí bí àwọn olórí ti síwájú ní Israẹli, nítorí bi àwọn ènìyàn ti fi tọkàntọkàn wa, ẹ fi ìbùkún fún Olúwa!
Praise ye the Lord for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
3 “Ẹ gbọ́ ẹ̀yin ọba! Ẹ fetí yín sílẹ̀ ẹ̀yin ọmọ-aládé! Èmi yóò kọrin sí Olúwa, èmi yóò kọrin ìyìn sí Olúwa: Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
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 “Olúwa nígbà tí o jáde kúrò ní Seiri, nígbà tí ìwọ ń yan jáde wá láti pápá Edomu, ilẹ̀ mì tìtì, àwọn ọ̀run sì kán sílẹ̀, àní àwọsánmọ̀ pẹ̀lú kàn omi sílẹ̀.
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 Àwọn òkè ńlá wárìrì ní iwájú Olúwa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Sinai ní iwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
The mountains melted from before the Lord, even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel.
6 “Ní ọjọ́ Ṣamgari ọmọ Anati, ní ọjọ́ Jaeli, àwọn ọ̀nà òpópó dá; àwọn arìnrìn-àjò sì ń gba ọ̀nà ìkọ̀kọ̀.
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 Àwọn olórí tán ní Israẹli, wọ́n tán, títí èmi Debora fi dìde bí ìyá ní Israẹli.
The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
8 Wọ́n ti yan ọlọ́run tuntun, nígbà náà ni ogun wà ní ibodè a ha rí asà tàbí ọ̀kọ̀ kan láàrín ọ̀kẹ́ méjì ní Israẹli bí.
They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 Àyà mi fà sí àwọn aláṣẹ Israẹli àwọn tí wọ́n yọ̀ǹda ara wọn tinútinú láàrín àwọn ènìyàn. Ẹ fi ìbùkún fún Olúwa!
My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the Lord.
10 “Ẹ kéde rẹ̀: ẹ̀yin tí ń gun kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ funfun, ẹ̀yin tí ń jókòó lórí ẹní dáradára, àti ẹ̀yin tí ó ń rìn ní ọ̀nà. Ní ọ̀nà jíjìn sí
Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
11 ariwo àwọn tafàtafà, ní ibi tí a gbé ń fa omi. Níbẹ̀ ni wọ́n gbé ń sọ ti iṣẹ́ òdodo Olúwa, àní iṣẹ́ òdodo ìjọba rẹ̀ ní Israẹli. “Nígbà náà ni àwọn ènìyàn Olúwa sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ibodè.
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 ‘Jí, jí, Debora! Jí, jí, kọ orin dìde! Dìde ìwọ Baraki! Kó àwọn ìgbèkùn rẹ ní ìgbèkùn ìwọ ọmọ Abinoamu.’
Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
13 “Nígbà náà ni àwọn tókù sọ̀kalẹ̀ àwọn ọlọ́lá lọ; àwọn ènìyàn Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá pẹ̀lú àwọn alágbára.
Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the Lord made me have dominion over the mighty.
14 Àwọn kan jáde wá láti Efraimu, àwọn tí gbòǹgbò wọn wà ní Amaleki; Benjamini wà pẹ̀lú àwọn tí ó tẹ̀lé ọ. Láti Makiri ni àwọn aláṣẹ ti sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá, láti Sebuluni ni àwọn ẹni tí ń mú ọ̀pá oyè lọ́wọ́.
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 Àwọn ọmọ-aládé Isakari wá pẹ̀lú Debora; bí Isakari ti ṣe olóòtítọ́ sí Baraki, wọ́n fi ẹsẹ̀ súré tẹ̀lé wọn lọ sí àfonífojì náà. Ní ipadò Reubeni ni ìgbèrò púpọ̀ wà.
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 Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi dúró pẹ́ láàrín agbo àgùntàn láti máa gbọ́ fèrè olùṣọ́-àgùntàn? Ní ipadò Reubeni ni ìgbèrò púpọ̀ wà.
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 Gileadi dúró ní òkè odò Jordani. Èéṣe tí Dani fi dúró nínú ọkọ̀ ojú omi? Aṣeri jókòó ní etí bèbè Òkun, ó sì ń gbé èbúté rẹ̀.
Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
18 Àwọn ènìyàn Sebuluni fi ẹ̀mí wọn wéwu ikú; bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni àwọn ènìyàn Naftali ní ibi gíga pápá.
Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
19 “Àwọn ọba wá, wọ́n sì jà; àwọn ọba Kenaani jà ní Taanaki ní etí odo Megido, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò sì gba èrè owó.
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 Àwọn ìràwọ̀ já láti ojú ọ̀run wá láti inú ipa ọ̀nà wọn ni wọ́n bá Sisera jà.
They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 Odò Kiṣoni gbá wọn lọ, odò ìgbàanì, odò Kiṣoni. Máa yan lọ, ìwọ ọkàn mi, nínú agbára!
The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
22 Nígbà náà ni pátákò ẹsẹ̀ ẹṣin ki ilẹ̀, nítorí eré sísá, eré sísá àwọn alágbára wọn.
Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.
23 ‘Ẹ fi Merosi bú,’ ni angẹli Olúwa wí. ‘Ẹ fi àwọn ènìyàn inú rẹ̀ bú ìbú kíkorò, nítorí wọn kò wá sí ìrànlọ́wọ́ Olúwa, láti dojúkọ àwọn alágbára.’
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 “Ìbùkún ni fún Jaeli, aya Heberi ará Keni ju àwọn obìnrin lọ, ìbùkún ni fún un ju àwọn obìnrin tí ń gbé nínú àgọ́.
Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 Ó béèrè omi, ó fún un ní wàrà; ó mú òrí-àmọ́ tọ̀ ọ́ wá nínú àwo iyebíye tí ó yẹ fún àwọn ọlọ́lá.
He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
26 Ó na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ mú ìṣó àgọ́, ó fi ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ mú òòlù awọ gbẹ́nàgbẹ́nà, òòlù náà ni ó sì fi lu Sisera, ó gbá a mọ́ ọn ní orí, ó sì gun, ó sì kàn ẹ̀bátí rẹ̀ mọ́lẹ̀ ṣinṣin.
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 Ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ ó wólẹ̀, ó ṣubú; ó dùbúlẹ̀. Ó wólẹ̀ ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀, ó ṣubú níbi tí ó gbé ń wólẹ̀; níbẹ̀ náà ni ó ṣubú kú sí.
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 “Ìyá Sisera yọjú láti ojú fèrèsé, ó sì kígbe, ó kígbe ní ojú fèrèsé ọlọ́nà pé, ‘Èéṣe tí kẹ̀kẹ́-ẹṣin rẹ fi pẹ́ bẹ́ẹ̀ láti dé? Èéṣe tí ẹsẹ̀ kẹ̀kẹ́-ẹṣin rẹ̀ fi dúró lẹ́yìn?’
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 Àwọn amòye obìnrin rẹ̀ dá a lóhùn; àní òun náà pẹ̀lú ti dá ara rẹ̀ lóhùn pé,
Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
30 ‘Wọn kò ha ń wa kiri, wọn kò ha ti pín ìkógun bi: ọmọbìnrin kan tàbí méjì fún ọkùnrin kan, fún Sisera ìkógun aṣọ aláràbarà, ìkógun aṣọ aláràbarà àti ọlọ́nà, àwọn aṣọ ọlọ́nà iyebíye fún ọrùn mi, gbogbo èyí tí a kó ní ogun?’
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 “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kí ó jẹ́ kí gbogbo àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ kí ó ṣègbé Olúwa! Ṣùgbọ́n jẹ́ kí àwọn tí ó fẹ́ ọ ràn bí oòrùn, nígbà tí ó bá yọ nínú agbára rẹ̀.” Ilẹ̀ náà sì sinmi ní ogójì ọdún.
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.
