5 Kabili bulya bwine bushiku Debora+ pamo na Baraki+ mwana Abinoamu+ baimbile ulwimbo,+ abati:
Pa kuposolola umushishi mu Israele, pa mulandu wa mulapo wabo uwa bulwi,
Pa mulandu wa kuitemenwa kwa bantu abene.+
4 Mwe Yehova, ilyo mwafumine mu Seiri,+
Ilyo mwafumine mu mpanga ya kwa Edomu,+
Isonde lyalitentele,+ e lyo imyulu yaloseshe imfula iikalamba,+
Amakumbi na yo yaponeshe amenshi ayengi.
5 Impili shalikonkolweke ukufuma ku cinso ca kwa Yehova,+
Uyu Sinai+ afumine ku cinso ca kwa Yehova,+ Lesa wa kwa Israele.+
6 Mu nshiku sha kwa Shamigari+ mwana Anati,
Mu nshiku sha kwa Yaele,+ mu nshila tamwalepita bantu,
Kabili abalendo abalepita mu misebo baile mu nshila ishashokoloka.+
7 Abekashi ba mu mishi ya ca nsale* balipwile, balipwile mu Israele,+
Nasuka ine, ne Debora,+ naima,
Nasuka naima ne nyina mu Israele.+
Lilya e lyo kwali inkondo mu mpongolo.+
Inkwela tayamoneke nakalya, nangu lifumo,
Pa ba makana amakumi yane (40,000) mu Israele.+
9 Umutima wandi uli na bakalamba ba bashilika aba mu Israele,+
Abaitemenwe abene pa bantu.+
Cindikeni Yehova.+
10 Mwe bendela pa mpunda ishikota ishakashikila,+
Mwe bekala pa nsalu shacindama,
Na mwe benda mu musebo,
Tontonkanyenipo!+
11 Amashiwi ya basalanganya amenshi yaumfwika pa ncende sha kutapapo amenshi,+
Palya balashimika imilimo yalungama iya kwa Yehova,+
Ifya bulungami fya bekashi bakwe mu mishi ya ca nsale mu Israele.
Lilya e lyo abantu ba kwa Yehova baile ku mpongolo.
12 Buuka, buuka, iwe we Debora;+
Shibuka, shibuka, imba ulwimbo!+

13 E lyo abapuswike baile ku bakankaala;
Abantu ba kwa Yehova baishile kuli ine ku kulwisha aba maka.
14 Abali mu mpanga iyabatama bafumine muli Efraimu,+
Bali pamo na iwe, we Benjamini, pamo na bantu bobe.
Ukufuma mu Makiri+ abakalamba ba bashilika baliile,
Kabili ukufuma ku Sebuluni abasenda ifipe fya kwa kalemba na bo baliile.+
15 Kabili bacilolo muli Isakari+ bali na Debora,
Kabili ifyali Isakari, e fyali na Baraki.+
Mu mpanga iyabatama e mo atuminwe pa makasa.+
Mu mpanga ya kwa Rubene mwali ukufwayafwaya sana mu mutima.+
16 Cinshi waikalile pa kati ka mifuko ya fya kwikalapo fibili ifya pa mpunda,
Ku kukutika ku mitolilo balishisha imikuni?+
Ku mpanga ya kwa Rubene kwali ukufwayafwaya sana mu mutima.+
17 Gileadi aikele mu ncende yakwe kwi shilya lya Yordani;+
Kabili cinshi Dani aikalile mu mato ayakalamba?+
Ashere ena aikele fye mu lulamba lwa bemba,
Kabili ku fyabu fyakwe e ko aleikala.+
19 Imfumu shalishile, shalilwile;
Lilya e lyo imfumu sha ku Kanaani shalwile+
Mu Taanaki+ mu lulamba lwa menshi ya mu Megido.+
Tabanonkele silfere nakalya.+
21 Umumana wa Kishone walibasendele,+
Umumana wa kale, umumana wa Kishone.+
Iwe wanyantawile aba maka,+ we mweo wandi.
23 ‘Tiipeni+ Merose,’ e fyasosele malaika wa kwa Yehova,+
‘Tiipeni pe abekashi bakwe,
Pantu tabayafwile Yehova,
Ukwafwilisha Yehova pamo na ba maka.’
24 Yaele+ muka Heberi umwina Keni+ akapaalwa nga nshi pa banakashi,
Pa banakashi abekala mu matenti akaba uwapaalwa nga nshi.+
25 Alombele amenshi, na o amupeela umukaka;
Mu mbale yafonka iikalamba iya bakankaala e mo amupeelele umukaka watikama.+
26 E lyo atambike ukuboko kwakwe no kubuula ulupoopo lwe tenti,
Atambike no kuboko kwakwe ukwa ku kulyo no kubuula sando ya babomfi ababombesha.+
Awe apampamine Sisera, no kumupusha mu mutwe,+
Kabili atobele no kulepula insensematwi shakwe.
27 Aponene pa kati ka makasa ya kwa Yaele, e po awilile, alambalala na pa nshi;
Pa kati ka makasa yakwe e po aponene, e po awilile;
Apo aponene, e po bamucimfiishe.+
28 Umwanakashi alelengela pe windo kabili alemulolela,
Nyina wa kwa Sisera alengeele mu tupunda twa pa capikulwa pe windo,+ aleti,
‘Cinshi iceleta lyakwe ilya nkondo lyakokwela ukwisa?+
Cinshi inshindo sha bakabalwe ba maceleta yakwe shacelelwa ifi?’+
