Jij 5
1 Jou sa a, Debora ak Barak, pitit gason Obinoram lan, pran chante chante sa a:
Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2 -Lwanj pou Seyè a, lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo soti pou yo goumen, lè pèp la pote tèt li ak kè kontan pou fè lagè!
For that the leaders took the lead in Israel, For that the people offered themselves willingly, Bless ye Jehovah.
3 Nou menm wa yo, koute sa m'ap di! Nou menm gwo chèf yo, louvri zòrèy nou! Mwen pral chante pou Seyè a! Mwen pral fè lwanj Sengè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la!
Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, [even] I, will sing unto Jehovah; I will sing praise to Jehovah, the God of Israel.
4 Seyè! Lè ou te kite mòn Seyi yo, lè ou te soti nan zòn peyi Edon an, latè te pran tranble, lapli tonbe anpil sot nan syèl la. Wi, nwaj yo pran lage dlo.
Jehovah, when thou wentest forth out of Seir, When thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, Yea, the clouds dropped water.
5 Mòn yo pran tranble devan mèt mòn Sinayi a, devan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la!
The mountains quaked at the presence of Jehovah, Even yon Sinai at the presence of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
6 Sou tan Chanmga, pitit gason Anat la, ak sou tan Jayèl, bann machann yo te sispann pwonmennen nan tout peyi a ak bèt yo. Vwayajè yo te blije pase nan lòt chemen.
In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, And the travellers walked through byways.
7 Lavil peyi Izrayèl yo pa t' gen moun ladan yo ankò pou pran defans yo. Yo te rete san moun pou defann yo, jouk jou mwen menm, Debora, mwen parèt tankou yon manman pou pèp Izrayèl la.
The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, Until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother in Israel.
8 Lè sa a, te prèt pou gen lagè nan peyi a. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo tanmen sèvi lòt bondye. Lè sa a tou, te gen karantmil (40.000) gason nan pèp Izrayèl la. Men, pa t' gen yon plak pwotèj ak frenn pou yo sèvi.
They chose new gods; Then was war in the gates: Was there a shield or spear seen Among forty thousand in Israel?
9 Mwen kontan chèf k'ap kòmande pèp Izrayèl la! Mwen kontan moun ki te pote tèt yo pou y' al goumen! Lwanj pou Seyè a!
My heart is toward the governors of Israel, That offered themselves willingly among the people: Bless ye Jehovah.
10 Nou menm ki moute manman bourik blan yo, nou menm ki chita sou bèl tapi, nou menm k'ap mache apye sou gran chimen, kalkile sa byen!
Tell [of it], ye that ride on white asses, Ye that sit on rich carpets, And ye that walk by the way.
11 Koute vwa moun ki al bò sous dlo yo! Y'ap rakonte tout bèl bagay Seyè a te fè, bèl bagay li te fè pou pèp Izrayèl la. Lè sa a, pèp Seyè a te desann bò pòtay yo.
Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, There shall they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, [Even] the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.
12 Annavan! Debora! Annavan! Annou wè! Chante yon chante! Annavan! Annavan! Barak! pitit gason Abinoram lan! Mennen prizonye yo vini!
Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, utter a song: Arise, Barak, and lead away thy captives, thou son of Abinoam.
13 Lè sa a, sa ki pa t' vire do bay Bondye yo desann vin jwenn chèf yo. Pèp Seyè a vin jwenn li, tou pare pou lagè.
Then came down a remnant of the nobles [and] the people; Jehovah came down for me against the mighty.
14 Yo soti nan mòn Efrayim yo desann nan fon an, dèyè moun Benjamen yo ak sòlda lame yo. Kòmandan lame yo desann soti Maki, jeneral yo soti nan peyi Zabilon.
Out of Ephraim [came down] they whose root is in Amalek; After thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples; Out of Machir came down governors, And out of Zebulun they that handle the marshal’s staff.
15 Chèf branch fanmi Isaka yo te la avèk Debora. Wi, moun Isaka yo vini, Barak te vini tou. Yo swiv li nan tout plenn lan. Men, moun branch fanmi Woubenn yo te divize. Yo pa t' ka deside pou yo vini.
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; As was Issachar, so was Barak; Into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben There were great resolves of heart.
16 Poukisa yo rete dèyè avèk mouton yo? Pou yo te ka tande gadò yo ap rele bann mouton yo? Wi! Moun Woubenn yo te an balan. Yo pa t' ka deside si y'ap vini, si yo p'ap vini!
Why sattest thou among the sheepfolds, To hear the pipings for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben There were great searchings of heart.
17 Moun Galarad yo te rete rete yo lòt bò larivyè Jouden an. Moun Dann yo rete rete yo sou bato yo. Moun Asè yo rete rete yo bò lanmè a, yo rete sou tout rivaj yo.
Gilead abode beyond the Jordan: And Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, And abode by his creeks.
18 Men, moun Zabilon yo ak moun Neftali yo al brave danje kote batay la ye a.
Zebulun was a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, And Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.
19 Wa yo vini, yo kwaze fè bò Tanak, toupre sous dlo Megido a. Wa peyi Kanaran yo goumen, men yo pa jwenn anyen pou yo pote ale! Pa menm yon ti moso ajan!
The kings came and fought; Then fought the kings of Canaan, In Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: They took no gain of money.
20 Zetwal yo rete nan syèl la yo goumen. Yo rete kote y'ap mache nan syèl la, yo goumen ak Sisera.
From heaven fought the stars, From their courses they fought against Sisera.
21 Dlo ravin Kichon an desann pote yo ale. Wi, se ansyen ravin lan, ravin Kichon an, ki fè sa. M'ap mache pran yo, je m' byen kale!
The river Kishon swept them away, That ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, march on with strength.
22 Lè sa a, yo tande chwal yo ki t'ap galope ale. Chwal yo t'ap pilonnen tè a ak zago yo.
Then did the horsehoofs stamp By reason of the prancings, the prancings of their strong ones.
23 Zanj Seyè a di: Ann mande madichon pou lavil Mewòz! Madichon, madichon pou tout moun k'ap viv nan lavil la. Yo pa t' vin ede Seyè a, yo pa t' voye sòlda goumen pou li.
Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of Jehovah. Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof, Because they came not to the help of Jehovah, To the help of Jehovah against the mighty.
24 Nan tout fanm ki sou latè, Jayèl se yon fanm Bondye beni anpil. Wi, Jayèl, madan Ebè, moun fanmi Kayen, nan tout fanm ki sou latè, se yon fanm Bondye beni anpil.
Blessed above women shall Jael be, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 Sisera mande l' dlo, li ba li lèt. Li ba l' yon krèm lèt nan pi bèl bòl li te genyen.
He asked water, [and] she gave him milk; She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
26 Li pran yon pikèt tant nan men gòch li, yon mato travayè nan men dwat li. Li frape Sisera nan tèt ak mato a, li krabouye tèt li. Li pèse tanp li, li touye l'.
She put her hand to the tent-pin, And her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; And with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote through his head; Yea, she pierced and struck through his temples.
27 Sisera tonbe sou jenou, li woule atè, epi li mouri nan pye Jayèl. Wi, nan pye madanm lan, li tonbe sou jenou li yo, li woule atè. Kote li kouche a, li mouri frèt.
At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay; At her feet he bowed, he fell: Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
28 Manman Sisera ap gade nan fennèt la. L'ap gade dèyè jalouzi a, l'ap mande: -Kote cha pitit mwen an depi tout tan sa a? Poukisa chwal li yo pran tout reta sa a pou yo vini?
Through the window she looked forth, and cried, The mother of Sisera [cried] through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29 Lè sa a, medam ki gen plis konprann nan sèvant li yo reponn li. Li menm tou, li t'ap repete nan kè l':
Her wise ladies answered her, Yea, she returned answer to herself,
30 -Koulye a yo dwe ap separe sa yo pran nan men lènmi yo! Yon fi, de fi pou chak sòlda, bèl twal koulè byen bwode pou Sisera, yon gwo mouchwa bwode byen bèl pou l' mete nan kou l'.
Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A damsel, two damsels 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?
31 Wi, Seyè! Se konsa pou tout lènmi ou yo mouri. Men, zanmi ou yo ap klere tankou solèy midi. Apre sa, te gen lapè nan peyi a pandan karantan.
So let all thine enemies perish, O Jehovah: But let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
