Judges 5

Ingoma KaDibhora

1Ngalolosuku uDibhora loBharakhi indodana ka-Abhinowami bahlabela ingoma le:

2“Lapho amakhosana ko-Israyeli esekhokhela,
lapho abantu bezinikela ngokuzithandela,
dumisani uThixo!

3Zwanini lokhu lina makhosi! Lalelani lina babusi!
Ngizahlabelela kuThixo,
ngizahlabelela;
ngizahubela ihubo,
kuThixouNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.


4Awu Thixo, ekuqhamukeni kwakho eSeyiri,
lapho usuka elizweni lase-Edomi,
umhlaba wanyikinyeka, amazulu athululeka,
amayezi athululela amanzi phansi.
5Izintaba zazamazama phambi kukaThixo, yena owaseSinayi,
phambi kukaThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli.

6Ensukwini zikaShamigari indodana ka-Anathi,
ensukwini zikaJayeli, imigwaqo yayideliwe;
izihambi zithatha izindledlana ezimazombe.
7Izakhamizi zako-Israyeli kazizange zilwe,
zahlehlela emuva kwaze kwavela mina Dibhora,
kwavela umama ko-Israyeli.
8UNkulunkulu wakhetha abakhokheli abatsha
lapho impi isifike emasangweni edolobho,
kodwa akulahawu kumbe umkhonto owabonakalayo
phakathi kwezinkulungwane ezingamatshumi amane ko-Israyeli.
9Inhliziyo yami ikanye lamakhosana ako-Israyeli,
kanye labazinikela ngokuzithandela phakathi kwabantu.
Dumisani uThixo!

10Lina eligada obabhemi abamhlophe,
lihlezi ezihlalweni zenu zengubo,
lani elihamba emgwaqweni
cabangani 11ilizwi labahlabeleli ezindaweni zamanzi okunathisa.
Bahuba ngokulunga kukaThixo,
ukunqoba kwezakhamizi zako-Israyeli.

Lapho-ke abantu bakaThixo
behlela emasangweni edolobho.
12‘Vuka, vuka, Dibhora!
Vuka, vuka, uhlabele ingoma!
Vuka weBharakhi!
Uthumbe abathunjiweyo bakho, wena ndodana ka-Abhinowami.’

13Ngakho abantu ababesele bafika ezikhulwini;
abantu bakaThixo beza kimi labalamandla.
14Abanye bavela ko-Efrayimi, abamdabuko wabo use-Amaleki;
uBhenjamini wayelabantu abakulandelayo.
Izinduna zamabutho zavela eMakhiri,
koZebhuluni labo abaphatha intonga yomlawuli webutho.
15Amakhosana ako-Isakhari ayeloDibhora;
yebo, u-Isakhari wayeloBharakhi
emxhuma ngesiqubu ezigodini.
Eziqintini zakoRubheni
kwaba lokuhlolwa okukhulu kwezinhliziyo.
16Lahlalelani ezibayeni
ukuzwa amakhwelo enqanda izimvu na?
Eziqintini zakoRubheni,
kwaba lokuhlolwa okukhulu kwezinhliziyo.
17UGiliyadi wahlala ngaphetsheya kweJodani.
LoDani wasalelani ngasemikhunjini na?
U-Asheri wasala ngasokhunjini
wahlala emathekwini akhe olwandle.
18Abantu bakoZebhuluni bafaka impilo yabo uqobo engozini;
wenza njalo loNafithali emiqolweni yeganga.

19Amakhosi afika, alwa;
amakhosi aseKhenani alwa,
eThanakhi ngasemachibini aseMegido,
kodwa kawazathwala isiliva, lempango.
20Izinkanyezi zalwa zisemazulwini,
zalwa loSisera zisezindleleni zazo.
21Umfula uKhishoni wabakhukhula,
umfula wendulo, umfula uKhishoni.
Phambili, mphefumulo wami; Qina!
22Kwaduma amasondo amabhiza ematha,
ematha ehamba amabhiza akhe alamandla.
23‘Iqalekiseni iMerozi,’ kwatsho ingilosi kaThixo,
‘Baqalekiseni kabuhlungu abantu bayo,
ngoba kabezanga ukuzencedisa uThixo,
ukuzasiza uThixo emelane labalamandla.’


24Kabe ngobusiswe kakhulu kwabesifazane uJayeli,
umkaHebheri umKheni,
obusiswe kakhulu kwabesifazane abahlala emathenteni.
25Wacela amanzi, yena wamnika uchago,
wamlethela amasi ngomganu ofanele izikhulu.
26Wathatha isikhonkwane sethente ngesandla sakhe,
isandla sakhe sokudla sathatha isando somkhandi.
Watshaya uSisera, wachoboza ikhanda lakhe,
waphahaza wabhoboza inhlafuno yakhe.
27Wawohlokela ezinyaweni zakhe,
wawa; wabhazalala khonapho.
Wawohlokela ezinyaweni zakhe wawa;
lapho awohlokela khona, wawela khonapho esefile.

28UnakaSisera walunguza ngefasitela;
ngemva kwewindi wanqolonga wathi,
‘Kungani inqola yakhe yempi iphuze kangaka ukufika?
Kungani ukugodlozela kwezinqola zakhe zempi kuphuzile?’
29Ohlakaniphe kakhulu kumakhosazana akhe wamphendula;
impela yena uhlezi ezitshela esithi,
30‘Kanti kabafumani mpango bayabelane na;
intombazana loba amabili indoda nganye,
izigqoko ezimibalabala eziyimpango kaSisera,
izigqoko ezimibalabala ezicecisiweyo,
izigqoko eziceciswe kakhulu zentamo yami,
konke lokhu kuyimpango?’


31Ngakho sengathi zingabhubha zonke izitha zakho, Oh Thixo!
Kodwa sengathi labo abakuthandayo bangaba njengelanga
lapho liphuma ngamandla alo.”
Kwasekusiba lokuthula elizweni iminyaka engamatshumi amane.
