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.
2For that leaders led in Israel, For that the people willingly offered themselves, Bless Jehovah!
3Inzwai, imwi madzimambo, teererai, imwi machinda;Ini, iyeni, ndichaimbira Jehovha; Ndicharumbidza Jehovha, Mwari waIsiraeri nenziyo.
3Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, [even] I, will sing to Jehovah; I will hymn to Jehovah the God of Israel.
4Jehovha, pakubuda kwenyu paSeiri, Pakufamba kwenyu muchibva kusango reEdhomu,Nyika yakadedera, uye denga rakadonha, Zvirokwazvo makore akadonha mvura.
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.
5Makomo akayerera pamberi paJehovha, Nairo Sinai pamberi paJehovha Mwari waIsiraeri.
5The mountains quaked before the face of Jehovah, That Sinai, from before Jehovah the 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 roads were unused, and the travellers on highways went by crooked paths.
7Misha yakanga isina vanhu munaIsiraeri, yakanga isina vanhu, Kusvikira ini Dhebhora ndichisimuka, Ndichisimuka ini, mai pakati paIsiraeri.
7The villages ceased in Israel, Ceased 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, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Jehovah!
10Paridzai izvozvo, imwi makatasva mbongoro chena, imwi, mugere pamhasa dzinokosha, Nemi, munofamba nenzira.
10Ye that ride on white she-asses, ye that sit on carpets, and ye that walk by the way, consider.
11Kure namanzwi avanopfura nouta, pavanoteka mvura,Ndipo pavacharumbidza mabasa akarurama aJehovha, Mabasa akarurama oushe hwake muna Isiraeri. Ipapo vanhu vaJehovha vakaburukira kumasuwo.
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.
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 captive thy captives, thou son of Abinoam!
13Ipapo vakanga vakasara vavakuru navanhu vakaburuka, Jehovha wakaburuka nokuda kwangu kuzorwa navane simba.
13Then come down, thou, the remnant of nobles, [as his] people; Jehovah! come down with me in the midst of the mighty ones.
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 [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.
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 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!
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 bleating of the flocks? In the divisions of Reuben there were great deliberations 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 Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat on the sea-shore, And abode in his creeks.
18Zebhuruni ndivanhu vakanga vasingatyi kusvikira parufu, NaNafutari panzvimbo dzenyika dzakakwirira.
18Zebulun is a people [that] jeoparded their lives unto death, Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
19Madzimambo akauya akarwa, Ipapo madzimambo eKanani akarwawo PaTaanaki, pamvura zhinji yeMegidho Havana kuwana fuma yemari.
19Kings came, -- they fought; Then fought the kings of Canaan; At Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; They took no spoil of silver.
20Nyeredzi dzakarwa dziri kudenga, Dzakarwa naSisera dziri panzira dzadzo.
20From heaven was the fight; The stars from their courses fought with Sisera.
21Rwizi Kishoni rwakavakukura, Irwo rwizi rwekare, rwizi Kishoni. Mweya wangu, pfuura nesimba.
21The torrent of Kishon swept them away, That ancient torrent, the torrent Kishon. My soul, thou hast trodden down strength!
22Nguva iyo makumbo amabhiza akarovera pasi Nokumhanya, kuri kumhanya kwavakasimba.
22Then did the horse-hoofs clatter with the coursings, The coursings of their steeds.
23Tuka Merozi ndizvo zvinotaura mutumwa waJehovha, Tuka zvakaipa avo vageremo. Nekuti havana kuuya kuzobatsira Jehovha, Kuzobatsira Jehovha pakurwa kwake navane simba.
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.
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 above women in the tent!
25Wakakumbira mvura, iye akamupa mukaka; Wakamuvigira mukaka wakafa pandiro yamambo.
25He asked water, she gave milk; In the nobles' bowl she brought forth cream.
26Wakabata mbambo noruoko rwake, Nenyundo yomubati norudyi rwake, Akarova Sisera nenyundo, akaboora musoro wake; Wakarova, akaboora zvavovo zvake.
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.
27Wakakotama patsoka dzake, akawa, Ipapo paakakotama, ndipo paakawira pasi, afa.
27Between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell, overcome.
28Wakatarira pahwindo, akadana, Mai vaSisera vakadana pautanda hwaro; Ngoro yake inononokereiko kusvika?Makumbo engoro dzake anononokereiko?
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?
29Vakadzi vake, vakakudzwa, vakachenjera, vakamupindura, Naiye amene wakazvipindura, achiti,
29The wise amongst her ladies answer [her], Yea, she returneth 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 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?
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, Jehovah! But let them that love him be as the rising of the sun in its might. And the land had rest forty years.
