1Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
1 Waato din gaa no Debora da Abinowam izo Barak na baytu te zaaro din ra, ka ne:
2“Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, Yahweh!
2 Wa Rabbi sifa, Zama jine borey na jine borotaray sambu Israyla ra, Zama borey na ngey boŋ no da bine yadda!
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.
3 Ya araŋ bonkooney, wa maa! Ya araŋ dabarikooney, wa hanga jeeri! Ay, oho, ay no, ay ga baytu te Rabbi se. Ay ga saabuyaŋ baytu te Rabbi se, Israyla Irikoyo.
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.
4 Ya Rabbi, saaya kaŋ ni fun Seyir ra, Saaya Kaŋ ni gana Edom batamey ra, Laabo zinji, beeney mo gusam. Oho, burey na hari dooru.
5The mountains quaked at the presence of Yahweh, even Sinai, at the presence of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
5 Tondey mo jijiri Rabbi jine. Oho, baa Sinayi tondo mo jijiri, Rabbi Israyla Irikoyo jine.
6“In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through byways.
6 Anat izo Samgar zamana ra, Yayel zamana ra fondo beerey bu, Dirakoy na laawaley gana.
7The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother in Israel.
7 Kawyey ciya kurmu Israyla ra, boro kulu si i ra, Hala hano kaŋ ay, Debora, ay tun. Ay tun Israyla ra ka te nya.
8They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
8 Borey na tooru yawyaŋ suuban. I go ga wongu birni meyey ra. I di koray wala yaaji boro zambar waytaaci do Israyla ra no?
9My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Yahweh!
9 Ay bina go Israyla maykoy do haray, Jama ra waney kaŋ yaŋ na ngey boŋ no da bine yadda. Wa Rabbi sifa!
10“Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk by the way.
10 Araŋ kaŋ yaŋ ga farka kwaarayyaŋ kaaru, Araŋ kaŋ yaŋ goono ga goro kunta caadantey boŋ, Araŋ kaŋ yaŋ goono ga dira ganda fonda boŋ, W'a baaru dede.
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.
11 Yongo birawkoyey laakal tunay se nangu mooro, Hari kaayaŋ nangey do. Noodin no i ga Rabbi adilitaray goyey ci. Oho, i ga ci Rabbi Adilitaraykoy mayray Israyla ra. Waato din gaa no Rabbi jama zulli ka koy birni meyey do.
12‘Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.’
12 Tun jirbi, tun jirbi, ya Debora! Tun jirbi, tun jirbi, ka baytu te! Ya Barak, ya Abinowam izo, tun ka kay. Ma borey kaŋ yaŋ na ni daŋ tamtaray din may.
13“Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down. Yahweh came down for me against the mighty.
13 Saaya din no boro beeri cindey da jama waney zulli. Rabbi zumbu ka kaa ay gaakasinay se wongaaray game ra.
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.
14 Ifraymu ra borey kaŋ yaŋ i kaajo ga sinji Amalek ra zumbu ka kaa. Araŋ banda mo, Benyamin da nga jama kaa. Macir ra no mayraykoyey fun. Zabluna ra mo borey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga jine bora goobo gaay fun.
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.
15 Isakar mayraykoyey mo go Debora banda. Danga Isakar cine, yaadin no Barak mo. I zumbu a banda ka koy gooro ra. Ruben sata-satey ra i bine ra anniya ga beeri.
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.
16 Ifo se no ni goro feeji kaley game ra? Zama ni ma di ka maa feeji kurey ceyaŋ seesa no? Ruben sata-satey ra i goono ga bina miila-miila boobo te.
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.
17 Jileyad goro Urdun daŋanta. Dan mo, ifo se no a goro hiyey ra? Aser go ga goro teeko me gaa. A go ga naagu nga hi fandiyaŋ nango gaa.
18Zebulun was a people that jeopardized their lives to the deaths; Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
18 Zabluna ya jama no kaŋ ga wongu nga fundo kala buuyaŋ gaa. Naftali mo yaadin no wongu batama tudey ra.
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.
19 Bonkooney kaa ka wongu. Gaa no Kanaana bonkooney kaa ka wongu. I kaa Taanak ra, Mejiddo haro me gaa, Amma i mana riiba fo kulu ŋwa.
20From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
20 Za beene handariyey go ga wongu. I go ga wongu nda Sisera ngey dirawey ra.
21The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
21 Cison isa haro n'i hamay, isa gayanta din, Kison isa. Ya nin ay fundo, ma koy jina; ni dirawo te da ni gaabo.
22Then the horse hoofs stamped because of the prancings, the prancings of their strong ones.
22 Zaaro din no i maa bariyey ce camsey kosongo, I taakama se, i gaabikooney taakama.
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.’
23 Wa Meroz laali, yaa no Rabbi malayka ci. A gorokoy laali da laaliyaŋ korno, Zama i wangu ka koy Rabbi gaakasina do, I wongu ka Rabbi gaakasinay ka gaaba nda soojey.
24“Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
24 Yayel ya albarkante no ka bisa wayborey kulu. Keni bora Heber wande no. Albarkante no ka bisa wayborey kulu kaŋ yaŋ ga goro kuuru-fu ra.
25He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
25 Sisera na hari ŋwaaray. Yayel n'a no wa mooro. Yayel kand'a se ji bonkooney taasa ra.
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.
26 Yayel na nga kamba daŋ kuuru fu lola gaa, A kambe ŋwaaro na goy-teerey ndarka sambu. Ndarka mo no a na Sisera kar d'a. A n'a boŋo kar ka fun; Oho, a n'a hanga dundo fun-fun.
27At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he bowed, he fell. Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
27 Yayel cey do no Sisera gungum ka kaŋ ka kani. Yayel cey do no Sisera sumbal ka kaŋ. Nango kaŋ a sumbal din, noodin no a kaŋ buuko.
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?’
28 Waybora niigaw fu fune gaa, kala a kuuwa. Nga, Sisera nya kuuwa fu funa gaa haray, ka ne: «Ifo se no Sisera wongu torkey gay ya-cine, i mana kaa? Sabaabu woofo no ka naŋ a torko guuru kangey bi?»
29Her wise ladies answered her, Yes, she returned answer to herself,
29 A do wayborey kaŋ yaŋ gonda laakal tu a se; Oho, a na sanno ye nga boŋ se ka ne:
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?’
30 «Manti i go ga arzaka gar, i go g'a fay-fay mo? Koŋŋo fo, hala baa koŋŋo hinka boro fo kulu se. Sisera arzaka, suudi bankaaray arzaka, Suudi bankaaray taalamante arzaka, Suudi bankaaray kaŋ gonda taalam hanno go no. I go arzaka kuukoy jindey se.»
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.
31 Ya Rabbi, ni ibarey kulu ma halaci yaadin cine! Rabbi baako kulu ma ciya sanda wayno cine, Waato kaŋ a ga fatta nda nga hin. Laabo mo goro baani kala jiiri waytaaci.
