1 Na ka waiata a Tepora raua ko Paraka tama a Apinoama i taua ra, ka mea,
2 Whakapaingia a Ihowa mo te takitakinga a nga kaitakitaki o Iharaira, mo te hihikotanga mai o te iwi.
3 Whakarongo, e nga kingi, kia whai taringa, e nga rangatira; maku, ae ra, maku e waiata ki a Ihowa; ka himene ahau ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira.
4 E Ihowa, i tou putanga atu i Heira, i tou haerenga atu i te parae i Eroma, i wiri te whenua, i maturuturu iho ano nga rangi; i maturuturu iho ano hoki nga wai o nga kapua.
5 I rere a wai nga maunga i te aroaro o Ihowa, ko taua Hinai ano hoki, i te aroaro o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira.
6 I nga ra o Hamakara tama a Anata, i nga ra o Taere, i takoto kau nga huarahi, i haere hoki nga tira haere i nga ara i tahaki.
7 I mutu rawa nga rangatira o Iharaira, i kahore rawa, a whakatika noa ake ahau, a Tepora, whakatika ake ahau, he whaea no Iharaira.
8 I whiriwhiria e ratou he atua hou; katahi ka puta he whawhai ki nga kuwaha: i kitea ranei he pukupuku, he tao ranei, i roto i nga mano e wha tekau o Iharaira?
9 Kei nga kaiwhakatakoto tikanga o Iharaira toku ngakau; i hihiko ratou ki te tuku i a ratou i roto i te iwi. Whakapaingia a Ihowa.
10 Korerotia, e nga kaieke kaihe ma, e te hunga e noho ana i runga i nga whariki utu nui, e te hunga e haere ana i te ara.
11 Mamao noa mai i te reo o nga kaikopere, i nga wahi utuhanga wai, ka korerotia e ratou i reira nga mahi tika a Ihowa, nga mahi tika o tana whakahaere tikanga i roto i a Iharaira: katahi te iwi o Ihowa ka heke ki raro ki nga kuwaha.
12 Maranga, maranga, e Tepora: maranga, maranga, whakahuatia he waiata: whakatika, e Paraka, arahina tau whakaraunga ki te whakarau, e te tama a Apinoama.
13 Katahi ka haere mai ki raro te morehu o nga rangatira, me te iwi; i haere mai hoki a Ihowa ki raro moku ki te whawhai ki te mea nui.
14 I puta mai i a Eparaima te hunga ko to ratou pakiaka nei kei a Amareke; kei muri i a koe, e Pineamine, i roto i ou iwi; i haere mai nga kaiwhakatakoto tikanga i roto i a Makiri; no roto i a Hepurona nga kaihapai i te tokotoko a te kaiwhakahaere.
15 I a Tepora hoki nga rangatira o Ihakara; he pera a Ihakara, he pera hoki a Paraka: huaki atu ana ratou i raro i ona waewae ki te raorao. I nga manga wai o Reupena, tera nga whakaaroaronga nunui o te ngakau.
16 He aha koe i noho ai ki nga taiepa hipi, whakarongo ai ki nga whakatangi mo nga kahui? I nga manga wai o Reupena, tera nga rapurapunga nunui o te ngakau.
17 I noho a Kireara ki tera taha o Horano: na ko Rana, he aha ia i noho ai i runga i nga kaipuke? Ko Ahera, whakakeke tonu mai i te takutai moana, a noho ana ia i te taha o ona manga wai.
18 Ko Hepurona he iwi i whakahawea o ratou tinana ki te mate; raua ko Napatari i nga wahi teitei o te parae.
19 I haere mai nga kingi, i whawhai, na ka whawhai nga kingi o Kanaana ki Taanaka, ki te taha o nga wai o Mekiro. Kihai tetahi moni i riro hei taonga mo ratou.
20 I whawhai iho ratou i te rangi; i whawhai nga whetu i o ratou huarahi ki a Hihera.
21 I kahakina atu ratou e te awa, e Kihona, e taua awa tawhito, e te awa, e Kihona. E toku wairua, haere tonu i runga i te kaha.
22 Takatakahi ana i reira nga paua o nga hoiho, na nga pekenga, na nga tupeketanga a o ratou marohirohi.
23 Kanga a Meroho, e ai ta te anahera a Ihowa; kanga kinotia nga tangata o reira; mo ratou kihai i haere mai hei awhina mo Ihowa, hei awhina mo Ihowa ki te whawhai ki te hunga nunui.
24 Kia manaakitia i roto i nga wahine a Taere wahine a Hepere Keni; kia manaakitia i roto i nga wahine o te teneti.
25 I tonoa e tuahangata he wai mona, he waiu tana i hoatu ai, kawea ana e ia he pata i roto i te peihana rangatira.
26 Totoro atu ana tona ringa ki te titi, tona matau ki te hama a nga kaimahi; hama iho e ia a Hihera, akina iho tona pane; titia iho hoki e ia tona rahirahinga a puta rawa.
27 Kupapa ana ia ki ona waewae, hinga ana, takoto ana: i kupapa ia, i hinga, ki ona waewae: ko te wahi i kupapa ai ia, hinga ana ia i reira, mate rawa.
28 I titiro mai te whaea o Hihera i te matapihi, i karanga hoki i te wini whakakahokaho, Na te aha i roa ai te haere mai o tana hariata? Na te aha i puhoi ai nga wira o ana hariata?
29 Ka utua e nga mea mohio o ana wahine rangatira; Ae, ko ia ano hei whakahoki ake i te kupu ki a ia ano,
30 Kahore ranei ratou i tupono atu, i wehewehe i nga taonga? He kotiro, tokorua nga kotiro ki tera, ki tera; he taonga kotingotingo to Hihera, he taonga kotingotingo, he mea whatu ki te ngira, he mea kotingotingo, he mea whatu ki te ngira i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha, mo nga kaki o te hunga i te taonga parakete?
31 Kia pena te whakangaromanga o ou hoariri katoa, e Ihowa; kia rite ia te hunga e aroha ana ki a ia ki te ra i tona putanga kaha mai. Na e wha tekau nga tau i okioki ai te whenua.
1 And Deborah singeth -- also Barak son of Abinoam -- on that day, saying: --
2 `For freeing freemen in Israel, For a people willingly offering themselves Bless ye Jehovah.
3 Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, to Jehovah, I -- I do sing, I sing praise to Jehovah, God of Israel.
4 Jehovah, in Thy going forth out of Seir, In Thy stepping out of the field of Edom, Earth trembled, also the heavens dropped, Also thick clouds dropped water.
5 Hills flowed from the face of Jehovah, This one -- Sinai -- From the face of Jehovah, God of Israel.
6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath -- In the days of Jael -- The ways have ceased, And those going in the paths go [in] crooked ways.
7 Villages ceased in Israel -- they ceased, Till that I arose -- Deborah, That I arose, a mother in Israel.
8 He chooseth new gods, Then war [is] at the gates! A shield is not seen -- and a spear Among forty thousand in Israel.
9 My heart [is] to the lawgivers of Israel, Who are offering themselves willingly among the people, Bless ye Jehovah!
10 Riders on white asses -- Sitters on a long robe -- And walkers by the way -- meditate!
11 By the voice of shouters Between the places of drawing water, There they give out righteous acts of Jehovah, Righteous acts of His villages in Israel, Then ruled in the gates have the people of Jehovah.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, utter a song; Rise, Barak, and take captive thy captivity, Son of Abinoam.
13 Then him who is left of the honourable ones He caused to rule the people of Jehovah, He caused me to rule among the mighty.
14 Out of Ephraim their root [is] against Amalek. After thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples. Out of Machir came down lawgivers, And out of Zebulun those drawing with the reed of a writer.
15 And princes in Issachar [are] with Deborah, Yea, Issachar [is] right with Barak, Into the valley he was sent on his feet. In the divisions of Reuben, Great [are] the decrees of heart!
16 Why hast thou abode between the boundaries, To hear lowings of herds? For the divisions of Reuben, Great [are] the searchings of heart!
17 Gilead beyond the Jordan did tabernacle, And Dan -- why doth he sojourn [in] ships? Asher hath abode at the haven of the seas, And by his creeks doth tabernacle.
18 Zebulun [is] a people who exposed its soul to death, Naphtali also -- on high places of the field.
19 Kings came -- they fought; Then fought kings of Canaan, In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; Gain of money they took not!
20 From the heavens they fought: The stars from their highways fought with Sisera.
21 The brook Kishon swept them away, The brook most ancient -- the brook Kishon. Thou dost tread down strength, O my soul!
22 Then broken were the horse-heels, By pransings -- pransings of its mighty ones.
23 Curse Meroz -- said a messenger of Jehovah, Cursing, curse ye its inhabitants, For they came not to the help of Jehovah, To the help of Jehovah among the mighty!
24 Blessed above women is Jael, Wife of Heber the Kenite, Above women in the tent she is blessed.
25 Water he asked -- milk she gave; In a lordly dish she brought near butter.
26 Her hand to the pin she sendeth forth, And her right hand to the labourers` hammer, And she hammered Sisera -- she smote his head, Yea, she smote, and it passed through his temple.
27 Between her feet he bowed -- He fell, he lay down; Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell -- destroyed.
28 Through the window she hath looked out -- Yea, she crieth out -- the mother of Sisera, Through the lattice: Wherefore is his chariot delaying to come? Wherefore tarried have the steps of his chariot?
29 The wise ones, her princesses, answer her, Yea, she returneth her sayings to herself:
30 Do they not find? -- they apportion spoil, A female -- two females -- for every head, Spoil of finger-work for Sisera, Spoil of embroidered finger-work, Finger-work -- a pair of embroidered things, For the necks of the spoil!
31 So do all Thine enemies perish, O Jehovah, And those loving Him [are] As the going out of the sun in its might!` and the land resteth forty years.
