¹Then sang Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, on that day, saying,

¹[Ny fihirana nataon'i Debora noho ny nandresena an'i Sisera] Ary Debora sy Baraka, zanak'i Abinoama, dia nihira tamin'izany andro izany ka nanao hoe:

²For that leaders led in Israel, For that the people willingly offered themselves, Bless Jehovah!

²Noho ny fitarihan'ny lehibe tamin'ny Isiraely sy ny fahazotoan'ny vahoaka nanolotena, dia miderà an'i Jehovah.[Na: fitombadahin']

³Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, [even] I, will sing to Jehovah; I will hymn to Jehovah the God of Israel.

³Mandrenesa ianareo, ry mpanjaka, mihainoa ianareo, ry mpanapaka! Izaho indrindra no hihira ho an'i Jehovah; hankalaza an'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, aho.

⁴Jehovah, when thou wentest forth from Seir, When thou marchedst out of the fields of Edom, The earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, Yea, the clouds dropped water.

⁴Jehovah ô, fony nivoaka avy tany Seïra Hianao ary nandeha avy tany amin'ny tany Edoma, dia nihorohoro ny tany, ary ny lanitra koa nitete; Eny, ny rahona matevina nitete rano.[Heb. tamin'ny saha]

⁵The mountains quaked before the face of Jehovah, That Sinai, from before Jehovah the God of Israel.

⁵Ny tendrombohitra niempo teo anatrehan'i Jehovah. Eny, na dia iry Sinay iry aza teo anatrehan'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.

⁶In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, The roads were unused, and the travellers on highways went by crooked paths.

⁶Tamin'ny andron'i Samgara, zanak'i Anata, sy tamin'ny andron'i Jaela dia tsy nodiavina ny lalambe, fa ny sakeli-dalana mivilivily no nalehan'ny mpandeha.

⁷The villages ceased in Israel, Ceased until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother in Israel.

⁷Lao ny tany an-tsaha; eny, lao tamin'ny Isiraely izany, Mandra-pitsangako, izaho Debora, eny, mandra-pitsangako ho reny teo amin'ny Isiraely.[Na: Tsy nisy mpanapaka; eny nitsahatra]

⁸They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?

⁸Nifidy andriamani-baovao ny olona, Ary tamin'izay dia nisy ady hatrany am-bavahady. Moa nisy ampinga na lefona na dia iray akory aza hita va teo amin'ny olona efatra alina tamin'ny Isiraely?

⁹My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Jehovah!

⁹Ny foko mankasitraka ny mpanapaka amin'ny Isiraely, izay nazoto nanolo-tena teo amin'ny vahoaka, miderà an'i Jehovah ianareo.

¹⁰Ye that ride on white she-asses, ye that sit on carpets, and ye that walk by the way, consider.

¹⁰Hianareo izay mitaingina borikivavy fotsy, ianareo izay mipetraka amin'ny lamba fitoerana, ary ianareo koa izay mandeha amin'ny lalana, samia milaza.

¹¹Because of the voice of those who divide [the spoil] in the midst of the places of drawing water; There they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, His righteous acts toward his villages in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.

¹¹Lavitra ny feon'ny mpandefa zana-tsipìka, dia eo amin'ny fantsakan-drano, no hiresahany ny asa marina nataon'i Jehovah, dia ny fahamarinany tamin'ny tany Isily; Tamin'izany dia nidina ny olon'i Jehovah ho any am-bavahady.[Na: tamin'ny fitondrany ny]

¹²Awake, awake, Deborah! awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead captive thy captives, thou son of Abinoam!

¹²Mifohaza, mifohaza, ry Debora; Mifohaza, mifohaza, ka mihirà! Mitsangana, ry Baraka; ento ny babonao, ry zanakalahin'i Abinoama.

¹³Then come down, thou, the remnant of nobles, [as his] people; Jehovah! come down with me in the midst of the mighty ones.

¹³Tamin'izany dia nidina izay olo-malaza sisa mbamin'ny vahoaka, Jehovah nidina homba ahy koa hamely ny olo-mahery.[Na: ho isan']

¹⁴Out of Ephraim [came] those whose root was in Amalek; After thee was Benjamin among thy peoples. Out of Machir came down governors, And out of Zebulun they that handled the staff of the ruler.

¹⁴Ny avy amin'i Efraima, izay miorina amin'i Amaleka, dia nomba anao teo amin'ny firenenao, ry Benjamina; Avy tany Makira no nidinan'ny mpanao lalàna, ary avy tamin'i Zebolona ireo mitana ny tehin'ny mpifehy.[Na: mpanoratra]

¹⁵And the princes in Issachar were with Deborah; And Issachar, like Barak; They were sent into the valley at his feet. In the divisions of Reuben there were great resolves of heart!

¹⁵Ary ny andrianan'Isakara niaraka tamin'i Debora, dia Isakara sy Baraka koa; Nampandehanina nanaraka azy any an-dohasaha izy. Lehibe ny fiheverana am-po teny amin'ny sakeli-dranon'i Robena!

¹⁶Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, To hear the bleating of the flocks? In the divisions of Reuben there were great deliberations of heart!

¹⁶Nahoana ianao no nitoetra teo anelanelan'ny vala, hihainoanao ny feon-tsodina any amin'ny ondry? Lehibe ny fiheverana am-po teny amin'ny sakeli-dranon'i Robena!

¹⁷Gilead abode beyond Jordan; And Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat on the sea-shore, And abode in his creeks.

¹⁷Gileada nitoetra tany an-dafin'i Jordana; Ary nahoana Dana no nitoetra tany an-tsambo? Asera nitoetra tany amoron-dranomasina, Ary teny amin'ny fitodiany no nipetrahany.

¹⁸Zebulun is a people [that] jeoparded their lives unto death, Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.

¹⁸Zebolona dia firenena nanao tsinontsinona ny ainy, na dia ho faty aza, Ary Naftaly koa teo amin'ny fitoerana avo any an-tsaha.

¹⁹Kings came, -- they fought; Then fought the kings of Canaan; At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; They took no spoil of silver.

¹⁹Tonga ireo mpanjaka ka niady, eny, niady tao Tanaka ireo mpanjakan'i Kanana, dia teo anilan'ny ranon'i Megido; Tsy nisy volafotsy azony ho babo.

²⁰From heaven was the fight; The stars from their courses fought with Sisera.

²⁰Avy tany an-danitra no nisy ady: ny kintana tamin'ny nalehany niady tamin'i Sisera.

²¹The torrent of Kishon swept them away, That ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. My soul, thou hast trodden down strength!

²¹Ny ony Kisona nipaoka azy, Izany ony ela izany, dia ny ony Kisona. Mandrosoa amin-kery ianao, ry fanahiko![Na: ony be ady]

²²Then did the horse-hoofs clatter with the coursings, The coursings of their steeds.

²²Tamin'izany dia nikatrokatroka ny kitron-tsoavaly noho ny fihazakazaka, dia ny fihazakazaky ny maheriny.

²³Curse Meroz, saith the Angel of Jehovah; Curse, curse the inhabitants thereof; For they came not to the help of Jehovah, To the help of Jehovah among the mighty.

²³Ozony Meroza, hoy Ilay Anjelin'i Jehovah, Ozony dia ozòny ny mponina ao, Satria tsy mba tonga hanampy an'i Jehovah izy, eny, tsy nanampy an'i Jehovah hamely ny mahery.[Na: isan']

²⁴Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, Blessed above women in the tent!

²⁴Hotahina mihoatra noho ny vehivavy anie Jaela, vadin'i Hebera Kenita; Eny, hotahina mihoatra noho ny vehivavy mitoetra an-day anie izy.

²⁵He asked water, she gave milk; In the nobles' bowl she brought forth cream.

²⁵Rano no nangatahin-dralehilahy, fa ronono aza no nomeny azy; Teo an-dovian'andriana no nitondrany rononomandry.

²⁶She put her hand to the tent-pin, And her right hand to the workmen's hammer; And she smote Sisera, she struck through his head, Shattered and pierced through his temples.

²⁶Ny tànany nandray ny tsima-day, Ary ny tànany ankavanana nandray ny tantanan'ny mpiasa, dia namely an'i Sisera tamin'ny tantanana izy ka nahavoa ny lohany; Namely mafy izy, dia nahaboroaka ny fihirifany.

²⁷Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell, overcome.

²⁷Teo amin'ny tongo-dravehivavy no niondrehany nahalavoany niamparany, eny, teo amin'ny tongony no niondrehany nahalavoany teo amin'izay niondrehany no niamparan'ny fatiny.

²⁸Them other of Sisera looketh out at the window, And crieth through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the trampings of his chariots?

²⁸Tao amin'ny varavarankely no nitsirihan'ny renin'i Sisera ka niantsoantsoany mafy; Eny, niantso tao amin'ny makarakara izy hoe: Nahoana no ela izato kalesiny vao tonga? Nahoana no mitaredretra ny kodian'ny kalesiny?

²⁹The wise amongst her ladies answer [her], Yea, she returneth answer to herself,

²⁹Izay hendry tamin'ny andriambaviny no namaly azy, eny, ny tenany aza namaly hoe:

³⁰Have they not found, divided the booty, A damsel, two damsels, to each? A booty of dyed stuffs for Sisera, A booty of dyed stuffs of embroidery, Dyed stuff of double embroidery for the neck of a spoiler?

³⁰Tsy efa mahita va izy? Tsy mizara babo va izy? Dia zazavavy iray na roa ho an'ny isan-dahy, Ary lamba samy hafa volo ho babon'i Sisera, Lamba roa samy hafa soratra ho eo am-bozon'ny nahazo babo.Ho levona tahaka izany anie ny fahavalonao rehetra, Jehovah ô; Fa aoka izay tia Azy kosa ho tahaka ny masoandro, raha miposaka amin'ny heriny izy. Dia nandry ny tany efa-polo taona.

³¹So let all thine enemies perish, Jehovah! But let them that love him be as the rising of the sun in its might. And the land had rest forty years.

³¹Ho levona tahaka izany anie ny fahavalonao rehetra, Jehovah ô; Fa aoka izay tia Azy kosa ho tahaka ny masoandro, raha miposaka amin'ny heriny izy. Dia nandry ny tany efa-polo taona.
