Judges 4
1 And the sons of Israel again did the thing that was wicked in the sight of Yahweh, —when, Ehud, was dead.
Pea naʻe toe fai kovi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, hili ʻene mate ʻa ʻEhuti.
2 So Yahweh sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor, —now, the prince of his host, was Sisera, and, he, dwelt in Harosheth of the nations.
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 sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh, —for he had, nine hundred chariots of iron, and, he, oppressed the sons of Israel heavily, 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, Deborah, a woman who was a prophetess, wife of Lapidoth, she, was judging 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 she used to sit, therefore, under the palm-tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Bethel, in the hill country of Ephraim, —and the sons of Israel came up to her, for justice.
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 she sent and called for Barak son of Abinoam, out of Kadesh-naphtali, —and said unto him—Hath not Yahweh God of Israel, commanded, —Come and draw towards Mount Tabor, and bring with thee—ten thousand men, of the sons of Naphtali, and of the sons of Zebulun;
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 draw unto thee, unto the torrent of Kishon, Sisera, prince of the host of Jabin, with his chariots, and with his multitude, —and will deliver him into thy hand?
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 Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then will I go—but, if thou wilt not go with me, I will not go.
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, go, with thee; only, it shall not be, thine own honour, that shall arise from the journey which thou art about to take, for, into the hand of a woman, will Yahweh sell Sisera. So Deborah arose, and went with Barak, towards Kadesh.
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 Barak called together Zebulun and Naphtali, towards Kadesh, and there went up at his feet—ten thousand men, —and Deborah, 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 Now, Heber the Kenite, had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the sons of Hobab, father-in-law of Moses, —and moved his tent as far as the oak of Zaanaim, which is near Kadesh.
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 they told Sisera that Barak, son of Abinoam, had gone up to Mount Tabor.
Pea naʻa nau fakahā kia Sisela ʻae ʻalu hake ʻa Pelaki ko e foha ʻo ʻApinoami ki he moʻunga ko Tepoa.
13 So Sisera called together all his chariots—nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, —from Harosheth of the nations, unto the torrent of Kishon.
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 Then said Deborah unto Barak—Up! for, this, is the day on which Yahweh hath delivered Sisera into thy hand, hath not, Yahweh, gone forth before thee? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, with 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 Yahweh put to flight Sisera and all the chariots and all the host, with the edge of the sword, before Barak, —so Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled on foot.
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 Now, Barak, pursued the chariots, and the host, as far as Harosheth of the nations, —and all the host of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword, there was not left so much as one.
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 Now, Sisera, had fled on foot, unto the tent of Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite, for there was peace between Jabin, king of Hazer, and the house of Heber 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 Sisera, and said unto him: Turn aside, my lord, turn aside with me, do not fear. So he turned aside with her into the tent, and she threw over him a coverlet.
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 he said unto her—Let me drink, I pray thee, a little water, for I am thirsty. So she opened the bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and spread over him the coverlet.
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 he said unto her, Stand at the entrance of the tent, —and it shall be, if any man come and ask thee and say—Is there here a man? that 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 Then took Jael, wife of Heber, the tent-pin, and put the mallet in her hand, and went in unto him, softly, and smote the tent-pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground, —he being fast asleep and shrouded in darkness, 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 lo! Barak—in pursuit of Sisera! So Jael went forth to meet him, and said unto him, Come and let me shew thee—the man whom thou art seeking. And he came in with her, and lo! Sisera—lying dead, with the tent-pin in his temples.
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 Thus God subdued, on that day, Jabin king of Canaan, —before the sons 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 sons of Israel went on, waxing more and more heavy upon Jabin king of Canaan, —until they had cut off Jabin king of Canaan.
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.
