← Chapter 4 Jump to: Chapter 6 →

1UDebora loBaraki indodana kaAbinowama basebehlabela ngalolosuku besithi:

2Nxa abakhokheli bekhokhela koIsrayeli, nxa abantu bezinikela ngokuzithandela, busisani i Nkosi!

3Zwanini makhosi, libeke indlebe ziphathamandla, mina, mina ngizahlabela e Nkosi ni, ngihubele i Nkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.

4Nkosi, ekuphumeni kwakho eSeyiri, ekunyatheleni kwakho usuka ensimini yeEdoma, umhlaba wazamazama, lamazulu athonta, lamayezi athontisa amanzi.

5Izintaba zageleza phambi kwe Nkosi, iSinayi le phambi kwe Nkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli.

6Ensukwini zikaShamigari indodana kaAnathi, ensukwini zikaJayeli, izindlela zaphela, lababehamba ezindledlaneni bahamba ngezindlela ezimazombazombe.

7Izakhamizi zemakhaya zaphela koIsrayeli, zaphela, ngaze ngasukuma mina Debora, ngasukuma, unina koIsrayeli.

8Wakhetha onkulunkulu abatsha, khona kwaba lempi emasangweni. Sabonwa yini isihlangu lomkhonto phakathi kwabazinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amane koIsrayeli?

9Inhliziyo yami ikubanikimithetho bakoIsrayeli, abazinikela ngokuzithandela phakathi kwabantu. Busisani i Nkosi!

10Bagadi babobabhemi abamhlophe, bahlali besigcabha, labahambi endleleni, khulumani.

11Elizwini labatshoki, phakathi kwezindawo zokukha amanzi, lapho bayalandisa ngemisebenzi elungileyo ye Nkosi, imisebenzi elungileyo yezakhamizi zemakhaya zakoIsrayeli. Ngalesosikhathi abantu be Nkosi behlela emasangweni.

12Vuka, vuka, Debora! Vuka, vuka, khuluma ingoma! Sukuma Baraki, uthumbe abathunjiweyo bakho, ndodana kaAbinowama.

13Khona yayenza insali yabusa phezu kwezinduna ebantwini; i Nkosi yangenza ngabusa phakathi kwabalamandla.

14Kuvela koEfrayimi impande yabo yayimelene loAmaleki; emva kwakho, Bhenjamini, phakathi kwabantu bakho; kuvela kuMakiri kwehla abanikumthetho, lakoZebuluni abadonsa ngentonga yombhali.

15Leziphathamandla zakoIsakari zaziloDebora; la njengo Isakari, waba njalo uBaraki; wathunjwa esigodini ngenyawo zakhe. Ezifundeni zakoRubeni izinqumo zenhliziyo zazizinkulu.

16Wahlalelani phakathi kwezibaya ukuzwa umhlanga wokukhaliselwa izimvu? Izifunda zakoRubeni zaba lokuhlolwa okukhulu kwenhliziyo.

17UGileyadi wahlala ngaphetsheya kweJordani. LoDani walibalelani emikhunjini? UAsheri wahlala ekhunjini lolwandle, wahlala ethekwini.

18UZebuluni uyisizwe esadela umphefumulo waso kwaze kwaba sekufeni, loNafithali, emiqolweni yensimu.

19Amakhosi afika alwa; khona amakhosi eKhanani alwa eThahanakhi ngasemanzini eMegido; kawathathanga impango yesiliva.

20Zisemazulwini zalwa, inkanyezi zisendleleni zazo zalwa loSisera.

21Isifula iKishoni sabakhukhula, isifula sendulo, isifula iKishoni. Mphefumulo wami, nyathela ngamandla!

22Khona atshaya phansi amasondo amabhiza, ngokumatha, ukumatha kwabalamandla bakhe.

23Qalekisani iMerozi, kutsho ingilosi ye Nkosi, qalekisani ngokuqalekisa abakhileyo kuyo, ngoba kabezanga kuncedo lwe Nkosi, kuncedo lwe Nkosi, lamaqhawe.

24Uzabusiswa phezu kwabesifazana uJayeli umkaHeberi umKeni; ubusisiwe phezu kwabesifazana ethenteni.

25Wacela amanzi, wa m nika uchago, waletha amasi ngomganu wobukhosi.

26Welulela isandla sakhe esikhonkwaneni, lesandla sakhe sokunene esandweni sezisebenzi, wamtshaya uSisera, wachoboza ikhanda lakhe, wahlaba wabhoboza inhlafuno yakhe.

27Phakathi kwenyawo zakhe wakhothama wawa walala; phakathi kwenyawo zakhe wakhothama wawa, lapho akhothamela khona, wawa lapho efile echithekile.

28Unina kaSisera walunguza ngewindi, wanqolonga ngeminxibo yewindi wathi: Kungani inqola yakhe iphuza ukuza? Kungani ephuzile amavili ezinqola zakhe?

29Izihlakaniphi zamakhosazana akhe zaphendula, yebo yena wazibuyisela impendulo yakhe wathi:

30Kabatholanga yini bayaba impango, intombazana, amantombazana amabili kuleyo laleyondoda, impango yamalembu aconjiweyo ngekaSisera, impango yamalembu aconjiweyo afekethisiweyo ngenalithi, amalembu amabili aconjiweyo afekethisiweyo ngenalithi, awentamo zempango?

31Ngokunjalo kazibhubhe zonke izitha zakho, Nkosi. Kodwa abayithandayo kababe njengokuphuma kwelanga ngamandla alo. Lelizwe lathula iminyaka engamatshumi amane.
