Judges 5
1 Nígbà náà ni Debora àti Baraki ọmọ Abinoamu kọ orin ní ọjọ́ náà wí pé,
And Deborah sings—also Barak 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!
“For freeing leaders in Israel, For a people willingly offering themselves, Bless YHWH.
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, you kings; give ear, you princes, I sing to YHWH, I sing praise to YHWH, 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.
YHWH, in Your going forth out of Seir, In Your stepping out of the field of Edom, The earth trembled and the heavens dropped, And thick clouds dropped water.
5 Àwọn òkè ńlá wárìrì ní iwájú Olúwa, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Sinai ní iwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli.
Hills flowed from the face of YHWH, This one—Sinai—From the face of YHWH, 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 son of Anath—In the days of Jael—The ways have ceased, And those going in the paths go [in] crooked ways.
7 Àwọn olórí tán ní Israẹli, wọ́n tán, títí èmi Debora fi dìde bí ìyá ní Israẹli.
Villages ceased in Israel—they ceased, Until I arose—Deborah, 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.
He chooses new gods, Then war [is] at the gates! A shield is not seen—and a spear 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] to the lawgivers of Israel, Who are offering themselves willingly among the people, Bless YHWH!
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
Riders on white donkeys—Sitters on a long robe—And walkers by the way—meditate!
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.
By the voice of shouters Between the places of drawing water, There they give out righteous acts of YHWH, Righteous acts of His villages in Israel, Then the people of YHWH have gone 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; Rise, Barak, and take your captivity captive, Son of Abinoam.
13 “Nígbà náà ni àwọn tókù sọ̀kalẹ̀ àwọn ọlọ́lá lọ; àwọn ènìyàn Olúwa tọ̀ mí wá pẹ̀lú àwọn alágbára.
Then him who is left of the majestic ones He caused to rule the people of YHWH, He caused me to rule among 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.
From Ephraim [are] those whose root [is] in Amalek, After you, Benjamin, among your peoples, From Machir lawgivers came down, And from Zebulun those drawing with the reed of a 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 princes in Issachar [are] with Deborah, Indeed, Issachar [is] right with Barak, Into the valley he was sent on his feet. In the divisions of Reuben, The decrees of heart [are] great!
16 Èéṣe tí ìwọ fi dúró pẹ́ láàrín agbo àgùntàn láti máa gbọ́ fèrè olùṣọ́-àgùntàn? Ní ipadò Reubeni ni ìgbèrò púpọ̀ wà.
Why have you abided between the boundaries, To hear lowings of herds? For the divisions of Reuben, The searchings of heart [are] great!
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 dwelt beyond the Jordan, And why does Dan sojourn [in] ships? Asher has abided at the haven of the seas, And dwells by his creeks.
18 Àwọn ènìyàn Sebuluni fi ẹ̀mí wọn wéwu ikú; bẹ́ẹ̀ sì ni àwọn ènìyàn Naftali ní ibi gíga pápá.
Zebulun [is] a people who exposed its soul to death, Naphtali also—on 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.
Kings came—they fought; Then kings of Canaan fought, In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; They did not take gain of money!
20 Àwọn ìràwọ̀ já láti ojú ọ̀run wá láti inú ipa ọ̀nà wọn ni wọ́n bá Sisera jà.
They fought from the heavens: The stars fought with Sisera from their highways.
21 Odò Kiṣoni gbá wọn lọ, odò ìgbàanì, odò Kiṣoni. Máa yan lọ, ìwọ ọkàn mi, nínú agbára!
The Brook of Kishon swept them away, The most ancient brook—the Brook of Kishon. You tread down strength, O my soul!
22 Nígbà náà ni pátákò ẹsẹ̀ ẹṣin ki ilẹ̀, nítorí eré sísá, eré sísá àwọn alágbára wọn.
Then the horse-heels were broken, By gallopings—gallopings of its 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 Meroz, said a messenger of YHWH, Cursing, curse its inhabitants! For they did not come to the help of YHWH, To the help of YHWH among 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.
Above women is Jael, The wife of Heber the Kenite, She is blessed 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 for water—she gave milk; She brought butter near 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 sends forth her hand to the pin, And her right hand to the laborers’ hammer, And she hammered Sisera—she struck his head, Indeed, she struck, and it passed through his temple.
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.
He bowed between her feet—He fell, he lay down; He bowed between her feet, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell—destroyed.
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?’
She has looked out through the window—Indeed, she cries out—the mother of Sisera, Through the lattice: Why is his chariot delaying to come? Why have the steps of his chariot tarried?
29 Àwọn amòye obìnrin rẹ̀ dá a lóhùn; àní òun náà pẹ̀lú ti dá ara rẹ̀ lóhùn pé,
The wise ones, her princesses, answer her, Indeed, she returns her sayings 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?’
Do they not find? They apportion spoil, A female—two females—for every head, Spoil of finger-work for Sisera, Spoil of embroidered finger-work, Finger-work—a pair of embroidered things, For the necks of 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 do all Your enemies perish, O YHWH, And those loving Him [are] As the going out of the sun in its might!” And the land rests [for] forty years.
