¹Zvino Dhebhora naBharaki, mwanakomana waAbhinowami, vakaimba nomusi iwoyo, vakati,

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

²Kudzai Jehovha, nekuti vatungamiriri vakatungamirira vaIsiraeri, nekuti vanhu vakauya nokuda kwavo.

²Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.

³Inzwai, imwi madzimambo, teererai, imwi machinda;Ini, iyeni, ndichaimbira Jehovha; Ndicharumbidza Jehovha, Mwari waIsiraeri nenziyo.

³Hear, 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.

⁴Jehovha, pakubuda kwenyu paSeiri, Pakufamba kwenyu muchibva kusango reEdhomu,Nyika yakadedera, uye denga rakadonha, Zvirokwazvo makore akadonha mvura.

⁴LORD, 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.

⁵Makomo akayerera pamberi paJehovha, Nairo Sinai pamberi paJehovha Mwari waIsiraeri.

⁵The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.

⁶Pamazuva aShamugara, mwanakomana waAnati, Pamazuva aJaeri, nzira huru dzakanga dzisingafambwi, Vafambi vaifamba nenzira dzinopota-pota.

⁶In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

⁷Misha yakanga isina vanhu munaIsiraeri, yakanga isina vanhu, Kusvikira ini Dhebhora ndichisimuka, Ndichisimuka ini, mai pakati paIsiraeri.

⁷The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.

⁸Vakazvitsaurira vamwari vatsva; Kurwa kukavapo pamasuwo. Kwakanga kuchionekwa here nhovo kana pfumo pakati pavalsiraeri vane zviuru zvina makumi mana here?

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

⁹moyo wangu unorumbidza vabati vaIsiraeri,Avo vakauya nokuda kwavo pakati pavanhu;Kudzai Jehovha!

⁹My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.

¹⁰Paridzai izvozvo, imwi makatasva mbongoro chena, imwi, mugere pamhasa dzinokosha, Nemi, munofamba nenzira.

¹⁰Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.

¹¹Kure namanzwi avanopfura nouta, pavanoteka mvura,Ndipo pavacharumbidza mabasa akarurama aJehovha, Mabasa akarurama oushe hwake muna Isiraeri. Ipapo vanhu vaJehovha vakaburukira kumasuwo.

¹¹They 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.

¹²Muka, muka, Dhebhora;Muka, muka, iwe uimbe rwiyo! Simuka Bharaki, utape vatapwa vako, iwe mwanakomana waAbhinowami.

¹²Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.

¹³Ipapo vakanga vakasara vavakuru navanhu vakaburuka, Jehovha wakaburuka nokuda kwangu kuzorwa navane simba.

¹³Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.

¹⁴Kuna Efuremu ndokwakabva vanomudzi wavo paAmareki, Vachikutevera iwe Bhenjamini pakati pavanhu vako. PaMakiri ndipo pakaburukira varairi, Nokuna Zebhuruni avo vakabata tsvimbo yokukunda.

¹⁴Out 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.

¹⁵Machinda aIsakari akanga ana Dhebhora; Salsakari, ndizvo zvakanga zvakaitawo Bharaki; Vakamhanyira kumupata vachitevera tsoka dzake. Pahova dzaRubheni Pakanga pane mirangariro mikuru yomoyo.

¹⁵And 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.

¹⁶Wakagarireiko pasi pakati pamatanga ezvipfuwo. Uchiteerera kurira kwenyere dzinoridzirwa makwai?Pahova dzaRubheni Pakanga pano kunzvera kukuru komoyo.

¹⁶Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

¹⁷Giriyadhi wakagara mhiri kwaJoridhani; Newe Dhani, wakagarireiko pazvikepe? Asheri wakagara zvake pamahombekombe egungwa, Wakarambira apo panopinda mvura panyika.

¹⁷Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

¹⁸Zebhuruni ndivanhu vakanga vasingatyi kusvikira parufu, NaNafutari panzvimbo dzenyika dzakakwirira.

¹⁸Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.

¹⁹Madzimambo akauya akarwa, Ipapo madzimambo eKanani akarwawo PaTaanaki, pamvura zhinji yeMegidho Havana kuwana fuma yemari.

¹⁹The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.

²⁰Nyeredzi dzakarwa dziri kudenga, Dzakarwa naSisera dziri panzira dzadzo.

²⁰They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

²¹Rwizi Kishoni rwakavakukura, Irwo rwizi rwekare, rwizi Kishoni. Mweya wangu, pfuura nesimba.

²¹The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.

²²Nguva iyo makumbo amabhiza akarovera pasi Nokumhanya, kuri kumhanya kwavakasimba.

²²Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.

²³Tuka Merozi ndizvo zvinotaura mutumwa waJehovha, Tuka zvakaipa avo vageremo. Nekuti havana kuuya kuzobatsira Jehovha, Kuzobatsira Jehovha pakurwa kwake navane simba.

²³Curse 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.

²⁴Pakati pavakadzi Jaeri ngaarumbidzwe, Iye mukadzi waHebheri muKeni, Ngaarumbidzwe pakati pavakadzi patende.

²⁴Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

²⁵Wakakumbira mvura, iye akamupa mukaka; Wakamuvigira mukaka wakafa pandiro yamambo.

²⁵He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

²⁶Wakabata mbambo noruoko rwake, Nenyundo yomubati norudyi rwake, Akarova Sisera nenyundo, akaboora musoro wake; Wakarova, akaboora zvavovo zvake.

²⁶She 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.

²⁷Wakakotama patsoka dzake, akawa, Ipapo paakakotama, ndipo paakawira pasi, afa.

²⁷At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.

²⁸Wakatarira pahwindo, akadana, Mai vaSisera vakadana pautanda hwaro; Ngoro yake inononokereiko kusvika?Makumbo engoro dzake anononokereiko?

²⁸The 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?

²⁹Vakadzi vake, vakakudzwa, vakachenjera, vakamupindura, Naiye amene wakazvipindura, achiti,

²⁹Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,

³⁰Havana kuwana here zvavakapamba, havana kuzvigovana here? Zvimwe murume mumwe nomumwe unopiwa musikana mumwe, kana vasikana vaviri; Zvimwe Sisera uchapiwa nguvo dzakapambwa dzamavara-vara, nguvo dzakapambwa dzemicheka yakarukwa yamavara-vara, nguvo dzamavara-vara dzakarukwa kunhivi dzose, dzakafanira mitsipa yavakapamba?

³⁰Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colors, a prey of divers colors of needlework, of divers colors of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?

³¹Saizvozvo vavengi venyu vose ngavaparadzwe, Jehovha; Asi ivo vanokudai ngavave sezuva, kana richibuda nesimba raro! Nyika ikazorora makore ana makumi mana.

³¹So 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.
