Mpitsara 5
1 Ary Debora sy Baraka, zanak’ i Abinoama, dia nihira tamin’ izany andro izany ka nanao hoe:
Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
2 Noho ny fitarihan’ ny lehibe tamin’ ny Isiraely sy ny fahazotoan’ ny vahoaka nanolotena, dia miderà an’ i Jehovah.
"Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, YHWH.
3 Mandrenesa ianareo, ry mpanjaka, mihainoa ianareo, ry mpanapaka! Izaho indrindra no hihira ho an’ i Jehovah; hankalaza an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, aho.
"Hear, you kings. Give ear, you princes. I, even I, will sing to YHWH. I will sing praise to YHWH, the God of Israel.
4 Jehovah ô, fony nivoaka avy tany Seïra Hianao ary nandeha avy tany amin’ ny tany Edoma, dia nihorohoro ny tany, ary ny lanitra koa nitete; Eny, ny rahona matevina nitete rano.
"YHWH, 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.
5 Ny tendrombohitra niempo teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah. Eny, na dia iry Sinay iry aza teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely.
The mountains quaked at the presence of YHWH, even Sinai, at the presence of YHWH, the God of Israel.
6 Tamin’ ny andron’ i Samgara, zanak’ i Anata, sy tamin’ ny andron’ i Jaela dia tsy nodiavina ny lalambe, fa ny sakeli-dalana mivilivily no nalehan’ ny mpandeha.
"In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through byways.
7 Lao ny tany an-tsaha; eny, lao tamin’ ny Isiraely izany, Mandra-pitsangako, izaho Debora, eny, mandra-pitsangako ho reny teo amin’ ny Isiraely.
The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother in Israel.
8 Nifidy andriamani-baovao ny olona, Ary tamin’ izay dia nisy ady hatrany am-bavahady. Moa nisy ampinga na lefona na dia iray akory aza hita va teo amin’ ny olona efatra alina tamin’ ny Isiraely?
They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
9 Ny foko mankasitraka ny mpanapaka amin’ ny Isiraely, izay nazoto nanolo-tena teo amin’ ny vahoaka, miderà an’ i Jehovah ianareo.
My heart is toward the leaders of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless YHWH.
10 Hianareo izay mitaingina borikivavy fotsy, ianareo izay mipetraka amin’ ny lamba fitoerana, ary ianareo koa izay mandeha amin’ ny lalana, samia milaza.
"Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on saddle blankets, and you who walk by the way.
11 Lavitra ny feon’ ny mpandefa zana-tsipìka, dia eo amin’ ny fantsakan-drano, no hiresahany ny asa marina nataon’ i Jehovah, dia ny fahamarinany tamin’ ny tany Isily; Tamin’ izany dia nidina ny olon’ i Jehovah ho any am-bavahady.
Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they will rehearse the righteous acts of YHWH, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. "Then the people of YHWH went down to the gates.
12 Mifohaza, mifohaza, ry Debora; Mifohaza, mifohaza, ka mihirà! Mitsangana, ry Baraka; ento ny babonao, ry zanakalahin’ i Abinoama.
'Awake, awake, Deborah. Awaken the multitudes of a nation. Awake, awake, sing a song. Be strong. Arise, Barak. And Deborah, strengthen Barak. And lead away your captives, son of Abinoam.'
13 Tamin’ izany dia nidina izay olo-malaza sisa mbamin’ ny vahoaka, Jehovah nidina homba ahy koa hamely ny olo-mahery.
"Then a remnant of the nobles came down. The people of YHWH marched down to me against the mighty.
14 Ny avy amin’ i Efraima, izay miorina amin’ i Amaleka, dia nomba anao teo amin’ ny firenenao, ry Benjamina; Avy tany Makira no nidinan’ ny mpanao lalàna, ary avy tamin’ i Zebolona ireo mitana ny tehin’ ny mpifehy.
From Ephraim those who uprooted Amalek came out, following you, Benjamin, among your peoples; out of Makir leaders came down, and out of Zebulun those that handle the staff of office.
15 Ary ny andrianan’ Isakara niaraka tamin’ i Debora, dia Isakara sy Baraka koa; Nampandehanina nanaraka azy any an-dohasaha izy. Lehibe ny fiheverana am-po teny amin’ ny sakeli-dranon’ i Robena!
And 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.
16 Nahoana ianao no nitoetra teo anelanelan’ ny vala, hihainoanao ny feon-tsodina any amin’ ny ondry? Lehibe ny fiheverana am-po teny amin’ ny sakeli-dranon’ i Robena!
Why did you sit among the sheepfolds, to hear the piping for the flocks? At the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
17 Gileada nitoetra tany an-dafin’ i Jordana; Ary nahoana Dana no nitoetra tany an-tsambo? Asera nitoetra tany amoron-dranomasina, Ary teny amin’ ny fitodiany no nipetrahany.
Gilead lived beyond the Jordan. Why did Dan remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and lived by his harbors.
18 Zebolona dia firenena nanao tsinontsinona ny ainy, na dia ho faty aza, Ary Naftaly koa teo amin’ ny fitoerana avo any an-tsaha.
Zebulun was a people that risked their lives even to death; Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
19 Tonga ireo mpanjaka ka niady, eny, niady tao Tanaka ireo mpanjakan’ i Kanana, dia teo anilan’ ny ranon’ i Megido; Tsy nisy volafotsy azony ho babo.
The kings came and fought, then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no plunder of silver.
20 Avy tany an-danitra no nisy ady: ny kintana tamin’ ny nalehany niady tamin’ i Sisera.
From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
21 Ny ony Kisona nipaoka azy, Izany ony ela izany, dia ny ony Kisona. Mandrosoa amin-kery ianao, ry fanahiko!
The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
22 Tamin’ izany dia nikatrokatroka ny kitron-tsoavaly noho ny fihazakazaka, dia ny fihazakazaky ny maheriny.
Then the horse hoofs pounded because of the galloping, the galloping of their steeds.
23 Ozony Meroza, hoy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah, Ozony dia ozòny ny mponina ao, Satria tsy mba tonga hanampy an’ i Jehovah izy, eny, tsy nanampy an’ i Jehovah hamely ny mahery.
Curse Meroz, said the angel of YHWH. Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they did not come to help YHWH, to help YHWH against the mighty.
24 Hotahina mihoatra noho ny vehivavy anie Jaela, vadin’ i Hebera Kenita; Eny, hotahina mihoatra noho ny vehivavy mitoetra an-day anie izy.
Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 Rano no nangatahin-dralehilahy, fa ronono aza no nomeny azy; Teo an-dovian’ andriana no nitondrany rononomandry.
He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him curds in a princely bowl.
26 Ny tànany nandray ny tsima-day, Ary ny tànany ankavanana nandray ny tantanan’ ny mpiasa, dia namely an’ i Sisera tamin’ ny tantanana izy ka nahavoa ny lohany; Namely mafy izy, dia nahaboroaka ny fihirifany.
She put her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer. She struck Sisera, she pierced his head; she shattered and struck through his temple.
27 Teo amin’ ny tongo-dravehivavy no niondrehany nahalavoany niamparany, eny, teo amin’ ny tongony no niondrehany nahalavoany teo amin’ izay niondrehany no niamparan’ ny fatiny.
At her feet he collapsed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he collapsed, he fell. Where he collapsed, there he fell down, destroyed.
28 Tao amin’ ny varavarankely no nitsirihan’ ny renin’ i Sisera ka niantsoantsoany mafy; Eny, niantso tao amin’ ny makarakara izy hoe: Nahoana no ela izato kalesiny vao tonga? Nahoana no mitaredretra ny kodian’ ny kalesiny?
Through the window she looked out. Sisera's mother cried out through the lattice, 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why are the hoofbeats of his chariots delayed?'
29 Izay hendry tamin’ ny andriambaviny no namaly azy, eny, ny tenany aza namaly hoe:
Her wise princesses answered her; indeed, she answers herself,
30 Tsy efa mahita va izy? Tsy mizara babo va izy? Dia zazavavy iray na roa ho an’ ny isan-dahy, Ary lamba samy hafa volo ho babon’ i Sisera, Lamba roa samy hafa soratra ho eo am-bozon’ ny nahazo babo.
'Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A womb or two for every man; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, A spoil of dyed garments embroidered, Of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, for the neck of the plunderer?'
31 Ho levona tahaka izany anie ny fahavalonao rehetra, Jehovah ô; Fa aoka izay tia Azy kosa ho tahaka ny masoandro, raha miposaka amin’ ny heriny izy. Dia nandry ny tany efa-polo taona.
So let all your enemies perish, YHWH, but let those who love you be as the sun when it rises forth in its strength." And the land had rest forty years.
