Judges 5

Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,

Jou sa a, Debora ak Barak, pitit gason Obinoram lan, pran chante chante sa a:

Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.

-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!

Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.

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!

LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.

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.

The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.

Mòn yo pran tranble devan mèt mòn Sinayi a, devan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la!

In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.

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.

The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.

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.

They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?

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.

My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.

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!

Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.

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!

They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.

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.

Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.

Annavan! Debora! Annavan! Annou wè! Chante yon chante! Annavan! Annavan! Barak! pitit gason Abinoram lan! Mennen prizonye yo vini!

Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.

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.

Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.

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.

And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.

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.

Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.

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!

Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.

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.

Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.

Men, moun Zabilon yo ak moun Neftali yo al brave danje kote batay la ye a.

The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.

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!

They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.

Zetwal yo rete nan syèl la yo goumen. Yo rete kote y'ap mache nan syèl la, yo goumen ak Sisera.

The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.

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!

Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.

Lè sa a, yo tande chwal yo ki t'ap galope ale. Chwal yo t'ap pilonnen tè a ak zago yo.

Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.

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.

Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.

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.

He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.

Sisera mande l' dlo, li ba li lèt. Li ba l' yon krèm lèt nan pi bèl bòl li te genyen.

She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.

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'.

At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.

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.

The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?

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?

Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,

Lè sa a, medam ki gen plis konprann nan sèvant li yo reponn li. Li menm tou, li t'ap repete nan kè l':

Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?

-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'.

So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.

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.
