Judges 5
1 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
Hiche nichun Deborah leh Abinoam chapa Barak hin vahchoila hi ana sa lhon in ahi.
2 “Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, Yahweh!
“Israel lamkai hon alamkaiyun chule mipin kipah tah in anung’u ajuiyun, Pakai chu thangvah in umhen!
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.
“Leng teho ngaitem un! Nangho vaihom mithupiho phaten ngaitem uvin! Keiman Pakai thangvahna la kasah ding, Pakai Israel Pathen koma tumging tumpum’a keiman la kasah ding ahi.
4 “Yahweh, when you went out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the sky also dropped. Yes, the clouds dropped water.
“Pakai nangma Sier muna kon nahung kipatdoh a Edom phai nahin lonkhup chun, leiset pumpi akithing jeng in, chule vanlai jola meilhang jeng jong ajunlhan, gotwi juh’in ahung julha jeng in ahi.
5 The mountains quaked at Yahweh’s presence, even Sinai at the presence of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
Pakai Sinai mol Pathen chu nahung kilandoh phat in, mol hochu Israel Pakai, Pathen masang ah apohkeh jeng in ahi.
6 “In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through byways.
Anath chapa Shamgar nikholai leh Jael nikho laijin mipiten lamlen jeng jong apelun, kholjin ho jeng in jong lampellang ajotjji tauve.
7 The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother in Israel.
Israel te minu banga Deborah ahung kipat tokah chun Israel thinglhang khoho’a mihem themkhat bou ana kidalha tan ahi.
8 They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Israel ten pathen thah thahho ahin kilhen phat nun khopi kelkot phungho’a gal ahung pohjal jengin ahi. Ahinlah Israel galmi sang-somli ho lah a chun tengchale lum hin kipatna akimudoh pon ahi.
9 My heart is toward the governors of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Yahweh!
Kalungthim pumpihi Israel gal lamkai galsat dinga hung kipedoh hochung achengin ahi. Pakai chu thangvah in umhen!
10 “Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on rich carpets, and you who walk by the way.
“Nangho sangan hoitah tah chunga kampol pon hoitah tah toupha-a lhaiho leh lamlen dunga vahlehon ngaito uvin!
11 Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they will rehearse Yahweh’s righteous acts, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. “Then Yahweh’s people went down to the gates.
Thinglhang’a la a sathem tahtah ho tuilonlhah na vadung panghoa akikhom’un Pakai chonphatna galjona loupitah tah asamphong uve. Hiche jouchun Pakai mipiten khopi kelkotphung lang jonnin ahung konsuh tauve.
12 ‘Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead away your captives, you son of Abinoam.’
“Thouvin Deborah thouvin! Thouvin, thouvin la saovin! Thovin Barak! Abinoam chapa nagal hing mat ho hinkaijin!
13 “Then a remnant of the nobles and the people came down. Yahweh came down for me against the mighty.
Tabor molla kon in milen milal ho nokhum dingin mi themchabou ahung kijot suh un ahi. Pakai mipite chu gal-hat tah tah ho nokhum dingin ahung kijot suh un ahi.
14 Those 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.
Amalek mite’a konna kilah peh Ephraim ma kon in ahung suh un Benjamin nangma le nasepaite nahin juijuve. Makir a kon in gallamkai ho ahungsuh uva Zebullun na kon in gallam kaiho manchahchoi ho ahungun ahi.
15 The 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.
Issachar-a leng chapate chu Deborah leh Barak lam’ah apangun ahi. Amahon Barak ahinjui un phaicham langa ahung lhailut un ahi. Ahinla Reuben phungsung’a vang lungkhat ahitheipouve.
16 Why did you sit among the sheepfolds? To hear the whistling for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben, there were great searchings of heart.
Ibola nangho kelngoi hon holah a nomsatah a natouthim uva kelngoi chingho saisip sapchu namoh ngai ngai uham? Ahinla Reuben phung sunga vang kilungkhatna aneithei pouve.
17 Gilead lived beyond the Jordan. Why did Dan remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and lived by his creeks.
Gilead vang Jordan solamma aumden tan chule Dan chu ipi dinga inmunna umnalai ham? Asher vang twikhanglen panga kongkai munna achengden tan ahi.
18 Zebulun was a people that jeopardized their lives to the death; Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
Ahinlah Zebulun vang Naphtali teho bolbang’in galkisat khoh laitah a chun ahinkhou phal ngam’in pan alauvin ahi.
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.
Canaan lengte ahungun Megiddo twinah phung komma chun Taanach munnah gal asatnin imacha alemlo pon ahi.
20 From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
Chunga ahsiten vanna kon in gal asatnin, ahsiten akikhai khumnao munna kon in Sisera dounan gal ahin sat’un ahi.
21 The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
Kishon vadungin alhohmang gamtaove. Kishon kiti golluilaija tuihattah chutoh kalhagao hangsantah in kijotkhom lhontan.
22 Then the horse hoofs stamped because of the prancing, the prancing of their strong ones.
Hiche jouchun sakol kengin leiset achon in, Sesira sakol thupitah chu akinunkho jing jengin ahi.
23 ‘Curse Meroz,’ said Yahweh’s angel. ‘Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they didn’t come to help Yahweh, to help Yahweh against the mighty.’
‘Meroz mite chu sapsetna changhen,’ tin Pakai Vantil ten aseije nasatah in sapsetna changuhen tin asam’un ahi, ajeh chu amaho galsat hattah hotoh kisatto dingin Pakai langa pang dinga ahung pouvin ahi.
24 “Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
Numei lah a phatthei chang chungnung Ken mi Kaber jinu Jael ahi, amanu hi numei ponbuh sung’a chengho jouse lah a nunnom penhen,
25 He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
Sisera in twi anathum’in ahileh aman bongnoi anadon sah e. Mithupi tahho peh dinga kilom khonna chun, bongnoi ha tuitah achoipeh e.
26 She 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.
Hiche jouchun akhut veilamma ponbuh thih hemkhat achoijin chule akhut jet lamma natohna sehcha chu achoijin hiche sehcha chun Sisera chu akhennin, aluchang akhenchip tai. Aman hakhetnin akhennin achalpang chu akhen lhumtai.
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he bowed, he fell. Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
Ama alhulhop jengin, amanu kengphang komma chun akijam jengin chuleh alhuh lhopna-achun athi dentai.
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?’
Bangkotna kon chun Sisera nu ahung khodah in, hiche bangkotna konchun achapa hung kileding chu galdot jing pummin hitin aseije, “I-atile tugeijahi sakol kangtalai chu hung kilelouva ham? Itidan'a sakol kangtalai khogin tugeija kijalouva ham?” ati.
29 Her wise ladies answered her, Yes, she returned answer to herself,
Numei ching theitah kilhamonna thucheng hi navel vellin hiche thucheng hin amale ama akidonbut’in ahi.
30 ‘Have they not found, have they not divided the plunder? A lady, two ladies to every man; to Sisera a plunder of dyed garments, a plunder of dyed garments embroidered, of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the plunder?’
Amaho hi ahin athilchomdoh uchu kihom uvah hiuvinte, numei khatle ni pasal khat cheh changun te, Sisera dingin ponjem hoitah tah gong’un tin, chule ponjem hoitah a kikhong keidingin jong hin gong’un te ati. Akichomdoh ho lah a chu alangtoa ponjem hoitah tah a kikhong ho jong jao ding ahinai.
31 “So let all your enemies perish, Yahweh, but let those who love him be as the sun when it rises in its strength.” Then the land had rest forty years.
Pakai, nagalmite ho jouse Sisera te bangin thina toh cheh-uhen! Amavang nangma ngailu jouse chu nisa bangin thanei tah’in khangtou jing taohen!” Hitichun gamsunga kum 40 geijin chamna ana ummin ahi.
