1Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
1Huchiin Debora leh Abinoam tapa Barakin huai niin,
2“Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, Yahweh!
2Israel phu a lakna ah Toupa phat un, mipite kilawp takin a kipeta uhi.
3“Hear, you kings! Give ear, you princes! I, even I, will sing to Yahweh. I will sing praise to Yahweh, the God of Israel.
3Aw, nou kumpipate aw, ngaikhia unla; aw, nou heutute aw, bil na doh un; kei mahmahin Toupa pahtawiin la ka sa dinga, Toupa, Israelte Pathian phatin la ka sa ding.
4“Yahweh, when you went forth out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the sky also dropped. Yes, the clouds dropped water.
4Toupa, Seir gam akipana na hongpai khiaka, Edom pawn akipan na hongpawtin, lei a ling dudupa, vante leng a hong taka, ahi, meiten vuah a zusak.
5The mountains quaked at the presence of Yahweh, even Sinai, at the presence of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
5Tangte Toupa maah a hongchima, Siani tang lam mahleng Toupa Israelte Pathian maah.
6“In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through byways.
6Anath tapa Samgar damlaite leh, Jael damlaitein, lamliante tot louhin a oma, zin leh leng te lah lampi maimai ahte a pai zo jel uh.
7The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother in Israel.
7Israel gama khuate luah louhin a tul khina, a tul khin hi, kei Debora ka gamtanga, Israel gam nu ka gamtat masiah.
8They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
8Pathian thakte a tel ua; huchiin kulh kongkhak bulahte kidouna a hongoma: Israel gama mi sing li tak lakah lum leh tei himhim om a om hia?
9My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Yahweh!
9Ka lungsim jaw Israelte vaihawmpa, mipite kianga lunglut taka kipiate lamah a om: Toupa phat un.
10“Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk by the way.
10Pau un, nou sabengtung kang tunga tute, nou vaihawmnaa tute, leh lampia paite.
11Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they will rehearse the righteous acts of Yahweh, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. “Then the people of Yahweh went down to the gates.
11Thal kapmite husa himhim jakphak louh, tui tawina munah Toupa thil dik hihte a gen a gen ua, Israel gam tunga thil dik hihte ngei. Huchiin Toupa mipite kulh kongkhak lamahte a pai suk ua.
12‘Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.’
12Thouin, thouin, Debora; thouin, thouin, lasa in: thouin, Barak nang Abinoam tapa, na matte sal din piin.
13“Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down. Yahweh came down for me against the mighty.
13Huchiin mi lian omlai zekte leh mipi a hongpai suk ua; mi hattak honsual pih dingin Toupa a hongpai suk ta.
14Those whose root is in Amalek came out of Ephraim, after you, Benjamin, among your peoples. Governors come down out of Machir. Those who handle the marshal’s staff came out of Zebulun.
14Amalek zungzamte bel Ephraim akipanin a hongpai suka; Benjamin, na mite laka miten nang a honjui uh, Makir akipanin gam vaihawmmite a hong pai suk ua, huan, Zebulun akipanin laigelhmi chiang tawimite a hongpai suk uh.
15The princes of Issachar were with Deborah. As was Issachar, so was Barak. They rushed into the valley at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben, there were great resolves of heart.
15Isakar mi liante Debora kiangah a tel ua; Isakar bangin, Barak leng: Guam lamah amah toh a tai suk ek ua. Reubente tui luannate ah a tup uh a lian mahmah hi.
16Why did you sit among the sheepfolds, To hear the whistling for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben There were great searchings of heart.
16Bangdia belam huang kal khawnga tu nilouh, belam hon sapna tamngai ngai ding lelin? Reubente tui luannate ah hoih taka na ngaihtuah khiakna uh a om.
17Gilead lived beyond the Jordan. Why did Dan remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and lived by his creeks.
17Gileadte Jordan galah a om nilouh ua: huan, Dante bangdia longte khawnga om nilouh uh ahia? Aserte tuipi piau ah a tu kinken ua, a tuipimengte khawng uah a om nilouh uh.
18Zebulun was a people that jeopardized their lives to the deaths; Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
18Zebulunte leh Naphtalite pawn mun sanga sih ngap gige mi ahi uh.
19“The kings came and fought, then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no plunder of silver.
19Kumpipaten a hongsual ua, huchiin kanan kumpipaten Megido tuikiang, Taanak khuaah a sual ua: sumlak himhim a neikei uh.
20From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
20Van akipanin a honsual ua; Aksiten a mun ua kipanin Sisera a honsual uh.
21The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
21Kison luiin amaute a tai manga, nidanglai lui, Kison luiin, Aw ka kha, hattakin paijel in.
22Then the horse hoofs stamped because of the prancings, the prancings of their strong ones.
22Huchiin sakolte a kipek thotthot ua, sakol hatte a tawmtawm jiak un.
23‘Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of Yahweh. ‘Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they didn’t come to help Yahweh, to help Yahweh against the mighty.’
23Merozi hamsiat un, Toupa Angelin a chi, huailaia omte nakpi takin hamsiat un; Toupa panpihin, Toupan mi hattak a sualna panpih dinga a hong louh jiak un.
24“Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
24Numei laklakah Jael, Ken mi Heber zi nuamsapen ahi ding, numei puanina tengte laklakah nuamsapen ahi ding.
25He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
25Amah tui a hongngena, nawitui ana pia a: mi hoih nouin nawitui dat ana piaa.
26She put her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer. With the hammer she struck Sisera. She struck through his head. Yes, she pierced and struck through his temples.
26Kilhna a tawia, a taklamin nasemmi sek; huan, sekin Sisera a khena, a lu ah a khen paisuaka, ahi, a haijek ah a khena, a khen tal vengvong.
27At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he bowed, he fell. Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
27A khe bulah a kuna, a puka, a luma: a khe bulah a kun a, a puktaa: a pukna munah a sita hi.
28“Through the window she looked out, and cried: Sisera’s mother looked through the lattice. ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why do the wheels of his chariots wait?’
28Sisera nu bel tawlet ah a daka, vathangkalh awngah a sama, Bangachia a kangtalai hongtung hak ahi? Bangachia a kangtalai khe zekai ahia? a chi.
29Her wise ladies answered her, Yes, she returned answer to herself,

30‘Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A lady, two ladies to every man; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, a spoil of dyed garments embroidered, of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the spoil?’
30A mu zou ta kei ua hia? Gallak kihawmta lou uhia? Mi chihin nungak nih hiam khat hiam chiat; Sisera tan ding bel gallak puan ze tuamtuam, gallak puan ze kilawm, ze tuamtuam, gallak ngawnga velh ding puan a lang niha ze kilawm, ze tuamtuam, chiin.Huchibangin aw Toupa, na melmate tengteng mangthang vek uhenla: amah itte bel hattak a pai, ni bang hi uhen, chiin la a sa uh. Huan, gam bel kum sawmli sung galmuangin a oma.
31“So let all your enemies perish, Yahweh, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises forth in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.
31Huchibangin aw Toupa, na melmate tengteng mangthang vek uhenla: amah itte bel hattak a pai, ni bang hi uhen, chiin la a sa uh. Huan, gam bel kum sawmli sung galmuangin a oma.
