Judges 4
1 And the children of Israel continued to do evil against the Lord; and Aod was dead.
Pea naʻe toe fai kovi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, hili ʻene mate ʻa ʻEhuti.
2 And the Lord sold the children of Israel into the hand of Jabin king of Chanaan, who ruled in Asor; and the chief of his host was Sisara, and he dwelt in Arisoth of the Gentiles.
Pea naʻe fakatau ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻo Sapini, ko e tuʻi ʻo Kēnani, ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi Hasoa; ko e ʻeiki ʻoe tau ʻaʻana ko Sisela, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Haloseti ʻoe ngaahi kolo taʻelotu.
3 And the children of Israel cried to the Lord, because he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he mightily oppressed Israel twenty years.
Pea naʻe tangi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova: he naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae saliote ʻaione ʻe hivangeau; pea naʻa ne fakamamahi lahi ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu.
4 And Debbora, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, —she judged Israel at that time.
Pea ko Tepola, ko e fefine palōfita, ko e uaifi ʻo Lapetoti, naʻa ne fakamaauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he kuonga ko ia.
5 And she sat under the palm-tree of Debbora between Rama and Baethel in mount Ephraim; and the children of Israel went up to her for judgment.
Pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he lolo ponga, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Lama mo Peteli ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi: pea naʻe ʻalu hake kiate ia ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he fakamaau.
6 And Debbora sent and called Barac the son of Abineem out of Cades Nephthali, and she said to him, Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded thee? and thou shalt depart to mount Thabor, and shalt take with thyself ten thousand men of the sons of Nephthali and of the sons of Zabulon.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ʻo ui kia Pelaki ko e foha ʻo ʻApinoami mei Ketesi-Nafitali, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻIkai kuo fekau ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻAlu ʻo ʻunuʻunu atu ki he moʻunga ko Tepoa, pea ke ʻave ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko mano ʻi he fānau ʻa Nafitalai pea ʻi he fānau ʻa Sepuloni?
7 And I will bring to thee to the torrent of Kison Sisara the captain of the host of Jabin, and his chariots, and his multitude, and I will deliver them into thine hands.
Pea te u toho ki he vaitafe ko Kisoni ʻa Sisela, ko e ʻeikitau ʻoe kautau ʻo Sapini, mo ʻene ngaahi saliote mo hono fuʻu kakai; pea te u tukuange ia ki ho nima.’”
8 And Barac said to her, If thou wilt go with me, I will go; and if thou wilt not go, I will not go; for I know not the day on which the Lord prospers his messenger with me.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Pelaki kiate ia, “Kapau te ta ō mo koe, pea te u ʻalu: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ta ō mo koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu.”
9 And she said, I will surely go with thee; but know that thy honour shall not attend on the expedition on which thou goest, for the Lord shall sell Sisara into the hands of a women: and Debbora arose, and went with Barac out of Cades.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te ta ō moʻoni mo koe: ka ko e moʻoni ko e fononga ni ʻoku ke ʻalu ai ʻe ʻikai te ke ongolelei ai koe; koeʻuhi ʻe fakatau ʻe Sihova ʻa Sisela ki he nima ʻo ha fefine.” Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tepola, ʻo na ō mo Pelaki ki Ketesi.
10 And Barac called Zabulon and Nephthali out of Cades, and there went up at his feet ten thousand men, and Debbora went up with him.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe Pelaki ke haʻu ki Ketesi ʻa Sepuloni mo Nafitalai; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ia mo e kau tangata ʻe tokotaha mano naʻe muimui ʻiate ia: pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Tepola mo ia.
11 And Chaber the Kenite had removed from Caina, from the sons of Jobab the father-in-law of Moses, and pitched his tent by the oak of the covetous ones, which is near Kedes.
Pea ko Hepa ko e tangata Kena, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fānau ʻa Hopapi ko e tamai ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese, kuo ne fakamavahe ia mei he kau Kena, ʻo ne fokotuʻu hono fale fehikitaki ʻi he toafa ko Seaneimi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Ketesi.
12 And it was told Sisara that Barac the son of Abineem was gone up to mount Thabor.
Pea naʻa nau fakahā kia Sisela ʻae ʻalu hake ʻa Pelaki ko e foha ʻo ʻApinoami ki he moʻunga ko Tepoa.
13 And Sisara summoned all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron and all the people with him, from Arisoth of the Gentiles to the brook of Kison.
Pea naʻe tānaki fakataha ʻe Sisela ʻa ʻene ngaahi saliote ʻaione ʻe hivangeau, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, mei Haloseti ʻoe ngaahi kolo taʻelotu ʻo ʻalu ki he vai lahi ʻo Kisoni.
14 And Debbora said to Barac, Rise up, for this [is] the day on which the Lord has delivered Sisara into thy hand, for the Lord shall go forth before thee: and Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Pea pehē ʻe Tepola kia Pelaki, “Tuʻu hake, he ko e ʻaho ko eni kuo tukuange ʻe Sihova ʻa Sisela ki ho nima: ʻikai kuo ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻa Sihova ʻiate koe?” Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hifo ai ʻa Pelaki mei he moʻunga ko Tepoa, pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata ʻe tokotaha mano.
15 And the Lord discomfited Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barac: and Sisara descended from off his chariot, and fled on his feet.
Pea naʻe veuveuki ʻe Sihova ʻa Sisela mo ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo ʻene tau kotoa pē, ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā ʻi he ʻao ʻo Pelaki: ko ia naʻe hifo ai ʻa Sisela mei heʻene saliote, pea hola ʻi hono vaʻe ke mamaʻo.
16 And Barac pursued after the chariots and after the army, into Arisoth of the Gentiles; and the whole army of Sisara fell by the edge of the sword, there was not one left.
Ka naʻe tuli ʻe Pelaki ki he ngaahi saliote, mo e tau, ki Haloseti ʻoe ngaahi kolo taʻelotu: pea naʻe tō ʻae tau kotoa pē ʻa Sisela ki he mata ʻoe heletā: pea naʻe ʻikai fakatoe ha tangata.
17 And Sisara fled on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Chaber the Kenite his friend: for there was peace between Jabin king of Asor and the house of Chaber the Kenite.
Ka ko e moʻoni naʻe hola ke mamaʻo ʻa Sisela ʻi hono vaʻe ki he fale ʻo Saeli ko e uaifi ʻo Hepa ko e tangata Kena; he naʻe melino ʻa Sapini ko e tuʻi ʻo Hasoa mo e fale ʻo Hepa ko e tangata Kena.
18 And Jael went, out to meet Sisara, and said to him, Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me, fear not: and he turned aside to her into the tent; and she covered him with a mantle.
Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Saeli ke fakafetaulaki kia Sisela, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Afe mai, ʻE hoku ʻeiki, afe mai kiate au; ʻoua naʻa manavahē.” Pea ʻi heʻene afe kiate ia ki he fale naʻa ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻe ia ia ʻae pulupulu.
19 And Sisara said to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty: and she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku mai ha vai siʻi ke u inu; he ʻoku ou fieinua.” Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae hina huʻahuhu, ʻo ne ʻatu ia ke ne inu, pea ʻufiʻufi ʻe ia ia.
20 And Sisara said to her, Stand now by the door of the tent, and it shall come to pass if any man come to thee, and ask of thee, and say, Is there [any] man here? then thou shalt say, There is not.
Pea toe lea ʻe ia kiate ia, “Tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale, pea ʻe pehē, kapau ʻe haʻu ha tangata ʻo fehuʻi kiate koe, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻi heni ha tangata,” pea ke pehē ai ʻe koe, “ʻOku ʻikai.”
21 And Jael the wife of Chaber took a pin of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went secretly to him, and fastened the pin in his temple, and it went through to the earth, and he fainted away, and darkness fell upon him and he died.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Saeli ko e uaifi ʻo Hepa ʻae faʻo ʻoe fale, pea toʻo ʻae hamala ʻi hono nima, pea naʻe ʻalu fakaʻeteʻete ia kiate ia, pea tuki ʻae faʻo ki hono ʻulu ke ʻasi ʻo fakamaʻu ʻaki ia ki he kelekele: he naʻe maʻu pe ʻene mohe, pea naʻa ne ongosia. Pea naʻe mate ai ia.
22 And, behold, Barac [was] pursuing Sisara: and Jael went out to meet him, and he said to him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest: and he went in to her; and, behold, Sisara was fallen dead, and the pin [was] in his temple.
Pea vakai, ʻi he tuli ʻe Pelaki ʻa Sisela, naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Saeli ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Haʻu, pea te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae tangata ʻoku ke kumi.” Pea ʻi heʻene hū mo ia, vakai, kuo tuku ʻi ai ʻa Sisela kuo mate, pea naʻe ʻi hono ʻulu ʻae faʻo.
23 So God routed Jabin king of Chanaan in that day before the children of Israel.
Naʻe pehē ʻae fakavaivai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻa Sapini ko e tuʻi ʻo Kēnani ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
24 And the hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin king of Chanaan, until they utterly destroyed Jabin king of Chanaan.
Pea naʻe fakamonūʻia ʻo mālohi ʻae nima ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sapini ko e tuʻi ʻo Kēnani, ʻo aʻu ki heʻenau fakaʻauha ʻa Sapini ko e tuʻi ʻo Kēnani.
