AbaHluleli 5 Ingoma yokunqoba kaDebora noBharaki

¹ Ngalolo suku uDebora noBaraki, indodana ka-Abinohama, bahlabelela, bathi:

² Dumisani uJehova ngokuphindisela kuka-Israyeli lapho abantu bezidela ngokuzithandela.

³ Zwanini, O makhosi! lalelani, nina zikhulu! Ngiyakuhlabelela kuJehova; Ngifuna ukuhlabelela amahubo kuJehova, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

⁴ Jehova, ekuphumeni kwakho eSeyiri, ekukhuphukeni kwakho ezweni lakwa-Edomi, umhlaba wazamazama, nezulu laconsa, namafu aconsa amanzi.

⁵ Izintaba zancibilika phambi kukaJehova, yebo, neSinayi phambi kukaJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

⁶ Emihleni kaSamgari indodana ka-Anati emihleni kaJayeli imigwaqo yayingenamuntu, abahambi babehamba emigwaqweni.

⁷ Abakhileyo emadolobheni baphela, banqamuka kwa-Israyeli, ngaze ngavuka mina Debora, ngasukuma njengonina kwa-Israyeli.

⁸ Bakhetha onkulunkulu abasha; kwaba khona impi emasangweni; Kwakukhona isihlangu noma umkhonto phakathi kwezinkulungwane ezingamashumi amane kwa-Israyeli na?

⁹ Inhliziyo yami ikubabusi bakwa-Israyeli abazinikela ngokuzithandela phakathi kwabantu. Dumisani uJehova.

¹⁰ Khulumani nina enigibele izimbongolo ezimhlophe, nina enihlezi ekwahluleleni nihamba endleleni.

¹¹ Labo abakhululwa emsindweni wabacibishelayo ezindaweni zemithombo yamanzi, lapho bayakuzwa izenzo zokulunga zikaJehova, izenzo ezilungileyo kwabakhileyo emadolobheni akhe kwa-Israyeli; khona-ke abantu bakaJehova bayakwehla baye emasangweni.

¹² Vuka, vuka, Debora, vuka, vuka, khuluma ihubo; suka, Bharaki, uthumbe ukuthunjwa kwakho, ndodana ka-Abinohama.

¹³ Khona-ke abaseleyo wababeka phezu kwezikhulu phakathi kwabantu; uJehova wangimisa phezu kwabanamandla.

¹⁴ Kwa-Efrayimi kwakukhona impande yabo kuma-Amaleki; emva kwakho, Bhenjamini, phakathi kwabantu bakho; kwaMagiri kwaphuma ababusi, nabakwaZebuloni abaphatha usiba lombhali.

¹⁵ Izikhulu zakwa-Isakare zazinoDebora; yebo, u-Isakare kanye noBharaki; wathunyelwa ngezinyawo esigodini. Ezigabeni zakwaRubeni kwakukhona imicabango emikhulu yenhliziyo.

¹⁶ Nihlalelani phakathi kwezibaya ukuze nizwe ukukhala komhlambi na? Ezigabeni zakwaRubeni kwakukhona ukuhlola okukhulu kwenhliziyo.

¹⁷ UGileyadi wahlala phesheya kweJordani, uDani wahlala ngani emikhunjini? U-Asheri wahlala ogwini lolwandle, wahlala emifantwini yakhe.

¹⁸ UZebuloni noNafetali babengabantu abadela ukuphila kwabo kwaze kwaba sekufeni ezindaweni eziphakeme zezwe.

¹⁹ Amakhosi afika alwa, kwathi ngasemuva alwa amakhosi aseKhanani eThahanaki ngasemanzini aseMegido; abawinanga mali.

²⁰ Balwa besezulwini; izinkanyezi emigudwini yazo zalwa noSisera.

²¹ Umfula iKishoni wabakhukhula, umfula omdala, umfula iKishoni. Awu mphefumulo wami, uwanyathele amandla.

²² Khona-ke izinselo zamahhashi zaphuka ngomzi, ukujikijelwa kwabanamandla bawo.

²³ Qalekisani iMerosi, isho ingelosi kaJehova, qalekisani abakhileyo kulo kamunyu; ngoba abazange bamsize uJehova, uJehova weza ukusiza ngokumelene namaqhawe.

²⁴ Uyakubusiswa uJayeli phezu kwabesifazane, umkaHebhere umKheni, abusiswe phezu kwabesifazane etendeni.

²⁵ Wacela amanzi, wamnika ubisi; waletha ibhotela esitsheni esimnandi.

²⁶ Ubeka isandla sakhe esikhonkwaneni nesandla sakhe sokunene esandweni sabasebenzayo; wamshaya uSisera ngesando, wamgqabula ikhanda, ehlaba, eshaya izinhlafuno zakhe.

²⁷ Wakhothama ngasezinyaweni zakhe, wawa, walala; wakhothama ezinyaweni zakhe, wawa; lapho afika khona wawa efile.

²⁸ Unina kaSisera walunguza efasiteleni wamemeza phakathi kwemigoqo: Kungani inqola yakhe ithatha isikhathi eside kangaka ukufika? abambezelelani amasondo ezinqola zakhe?

²⁹ Amakhosikazi akhe ahlakaniphileyo amphendula, yebo, waziphendula wathi:

³⁰ Abagijimanga yini? abahlukanisanga impango; kuwo wonke amadoda intombazane noma amabili; kuSisera impango yemibala yonke, impango yawo wonke amathunga, imibala ethungayo nhlangothi zombili, izintamo zabaphangayo na?

³¹ Mazibhubhe zonke izitha zakho, Jehova, kepha abamthandayo mababe njengelanga lapho liphuma ngamandla alo. Izwe laphumula iminyaka engamashumi amane.
