3Thetshelesani, inwi mahosi!
Inwi vhavhusi ṱalukanyani!
Ndi ḓo imbela Muṋe washu,

nda imbela Muṋe washu Mudzimu wa Israele.
4Muṋe washu, zwiḽa u tshi ṱuwa thavhani dza Seiri,

5Thavha dza dzinginyea
dzi tshi vhona Muṋe washu Muṋe wa Sinai,
dzi tshi vhona Muṋe washu Mudzimu wa Israele.
6“Misi ya Shamugara ṅwana wa Anathi,
misi ya Jaele,
nḓila dzo vha dzo fa,
vhaendi vho vha vha tshi fara dza u mona.
7Masimu a Israele o vha si tsha liṅwa,
o vha o ṱutshelwa ha vhuya ha swika iwe Dibora,
ha swika iwe mme a Israele.
8Vhaisraele vho ri u ḓiṱoḓela midzimu miswa,
nndwa ya mbo tswuka.
Hone ndi nnyi wa vhanna
vha zwigidi zwa mahumi maṋa kha ḽa Israele

9“Mbilu yanga i ima na vhalangammbi vha Israele,
vhathu vhe vha tou zwi funa u bva pfumo.
Rendani Muṋe washu
10inwi ni no namela donngi tswuku,

na inwi ni tshimbilaho nga milenzhe, zwi elelweni!
11Zwi vho zuwiwa vhathu vhó kuvhangana zwisimani,
vha zuwa mishumo mihulu ya Muṋe washu
ya u tshidza vhathu vhawe, mishumo mihulu
ya vhathu zwavho vha Israele, vhalanda vhawe.
Vhathu vha Muṋe washu vho tsela khoroni dza muḓi.
12Vuwa, Dibora, vuwa, sima luimbo!
Takuwa, Baraka ṅwana wa Abinuamu,
takuwa u kumbe mathubwa au!
13“Ndi hone vhe vha vha vho sala
vha tshi tsela ha vharangaphanḓa vhavho;
vhathu vha Muṋe washu vha ḓa ha nṋe vhe na maanḓa.
14Vhaṅwe vho bva kha Efraimi, na ngei kule kha ḽa Ameleke;
ha tevhela mavhuthu a Benyamini.
Vhalangammbi vho tsa vha tshi bva Makhiri,
vharangaphanḓa vha tsa vha tshi bva Zebuloni.
15Vhahulwane vha Isakhara vho ḓa na Dibora;
ee, Isakhara o ḓa na Baraka, vha mu tevhela govhani.
Hone vha Rubeni vho kuvhangana zwisimani,
vha sokou vhamba maano lu sa fheli,
ha si vhe na tshe vha ita.
16Khezwi no ṱwa no ḓidzulela vhukati ha maputo

Vhukuma vha Rubeni vho kuvhangana zwisimani
vha sokou funzedzana maano lu sa fheli.
17“Vha Giliadi vha ḓidzulela seli ha Jorodani.
Ndi mini vha Dani vho tendeleka nga zwikepe?
Vha Ashere vho dzula khunzikhunzini ya lwanzhe;
a vho ngo ṱuwa maḓambuwoni avho.
18Vha Zebuloni na vha Nafuthali vhone vho ḓifunga
vha bva pfumo vha sa ofhi lufu, vha yo lwa zwivhangani.
19“Ngei Thaanakha,
tsini ha milambo ya Megido,
mahosi o ḓa a lwa; mahosi a Kanana o lwa,
hone a vho ngo hwala siliva, a hu na tshe vha ṱangula.
20Ṋaledzi dzo lwa dzi lutomboni,
dzo tshimbila nḓilani dzadzo dza lwa na Sisera.
21Mulambo wa Kishoni wa vha kumba,
mulambo wa kale, mulambo wa Kishoni.
Ndi ḓo tshimbila, nda tshimbila ndi na nungo!
22Ha pfala bere dzi tshi gada,
dza gada, dza gada, bere dzawe dza maanḓa.
23“Muruṅwa wa Mune washu a ri,
‘Teketelani Miroso, teketelani, teketelani vha dzulaho henefho.
A vho ngo ḓa u farisa Muṋe washu,
a vho ngo lwela Muṋe washu vha lwa na vhahali.’
24“Musadzi wa mashudu ndi Jaele,
mufumakadzi wa Hebere wa Mukeni,
o shudufhadzwa tshoṱhe kha vhasadzi
vha dzulaho mishashani.
25Sisera o humbela maḓi, ene a mu ṋea mukhaha;
a ḓisa makheṱhe nga mudzio wa u naka.
26A fara khokho ya dennde nga tshiṅwe tshanḓa,
nga tshiṅwe a fara nundo ya mushumi;
a runga Sisera a mu pwasha ṱhoho,
a mu runga ṱhoho a phuletshedza.
27E nga magona gwada, a wela fhasi,
a rambalala henefho milenzheni yawe.
A gwadama nga magona milenzheni yawe, a wa;
a rambalala fhasi, a fa.
28“Mme a Sisera a ṱodzimela nga ḽivhona;
a ṱalela nga fasiṱere a ri,
‘Ndi mini gariki ya nndwa i tshi lenga u vhuya?
Khezwi bere dzi tshi ongolowa u vhuya?’
29Vhasadzi vha hawe vho ṱalifhesaho vha mu fhindula,
vhukuma a ḓivhudza a dovha a ri,
30‘Vho wana zwe vha ṱangula, vha khou kovhekana,
muhali muṅwe na muṅwe u wana musidzana kana vhavhili,
na nguvho dza maṱeleṱele dze vha thubela Sisera,
zwiambaro zwo lukwaho zwa mukulo wa mufumakadzi,
zwoṱhe hezwo zwo thubiwa.’
31“Muṋe washu,
ngavhe maswina au oṱhe a tshi lovha nga u ralo,
hone vhane vha u funa vha nge ḓuvha ḽi tshi ṱavha.”
Shango ḽa lala ha vhuya ha fhela miṅwaha ya 40.
