< Judges 4 >

1 But after the death of Ehud, the sons of Israel resumed doing evil in the sight of the Lord.
Matapos mamatay ni Ehud, muling sinuway ng bayan ng Israel si Yahweh sa pamamagitan ng paggawa ng masasamang bagay, at nakita niya kung ano ang ginawa nila.
2 And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Jabin, the king of Canaan, who reigned at Hazor. And he had a commander of his army named Sisera, but this man lived at Harosheth of the Gentiles.
Ibinigay sila ni Yahweh sa kapangyarihan ni Jabin na hari ng Canaan na naghahari sa Hazor. Ang pinuno ng kaniyang hukbo ay nagngangalang Sisera, at naninirahan siya sa Haroshet ng mga Hentil.
3 And the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord. For he had nine hundred chariots with scythes, and he vehemently oppressed them for twenty years.
Tumawag ang bayan ng Israel kay Yahweh para sa tulong, dahil mayroong siyamnaraang bakal na karwaheng pandigma si Sisera at inapi niya ang bayan ng Israel sa loob ng dalawampung taon.
4 Now there was a prophetess, Deborah, the wife of Lappidoth, who judged the people in that time.
Ngayon si Debora, isang babaeng propeta (asawa ni Lappidot), ay isang nangungunang hukom sa Israel nang panahong iyon.
5 And she was sitting under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Ramah and Bethel, on Mount Ephraim. And the sons of Israel went up to her for every judgment.
Madalas siyang nakaupo sa ilalim ng palmera ni Debora sa pagitan ng Rama at Betel sa bulubundukin ng Efraim, at lumalapit sa kaniya ang mga tao ng Israel para lutasin ang kanilang mga alitan.
6 And she sent and called Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh of Naphtali. And she said to him: “The Lord, the God of Israel, instructs you: ‘Go and lead an army to Mount Tabor, and you shall take with you ten thousand fighting men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons of Zebulun.
Ipinatawag niya si Barak na anak ni Abinoam mula sa Kedes sa Neftali. Sinabi niya sa kaniya, “Inuutusan ka ni Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, 'Pumunta ka sa Bundok Tabor, at magsama ng sampung libong kalalakihan mula sa Neftali at Zebulun.
7 Then I will lead to you, at the place of the torrent Kishon, Sisera, the leader of the army of Jabin, with his chariots and the entire multitude. And I will deliver them into your hand.’”
Palalabasin ko si Sisera, na pinuno ng hukbo ni Jabin, para salubungin kayo sa ilog ng Kison, kasama ang kaniyang mga karwaheng pandigma at kaniyang hukbo, at bibigyan ko kayo ng tagumpay laban sa kaniya.'”
8 And Barak said to her: “If you will come with me, I will go. If you are not willing to come with me, I will not go.”
Sinabi ni Barak sa kaniya, “Kung sasama ka sa akin, pupunta ako, pero kung hindi ka sasama sa akin, hindi ako pupunta.”
9 She said to him: “Indeed, I will go with you. But due to this change, the victory shall not be reputed to you. And so Sisera will be delivered into the hand of a woman.” Therefore, Deborah rose up, and she traveled with Barak to Kedesh.
Sinabi niya, “Talagang sasama ako sa iyo. Gayunman, ang landas na dadaanan mo ay hindi maghahatid sa iyong karangalan, dahil gagawin ni Yahweh na talunin si Sisera ng isang babae sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang lakas.” Pagkatapos tumayo si Debora at sumama kay Barak sa Kedes.
10 And he, summoning Zebulun and Naphtali, ascended with ten thousand fighting men, having Deborah in his company.
Tinawag ni Barak ang mga kalalakihan ng Neftali para magtipon sa Kedes. Sampung libong kalalakihan ang sumama sa kaniya, at sumama sa kanya si Debora.
11 Now Heber, the Kenite, had previously withdrawn from the rest of the Kenites, his brothers, the sons of Hobab, the relative of Moses. And he had pitched his tents as far as the valley that is called Zaanannim, which was near Kedesh.
Ngayon hiniwalay ni Heber (ang Kenita) ang kaniyang sarili mula sa mga Kenita—sila ay mga kaapu-apuhan ni Hobab (biyenan ni Moises) —at nagtayo ng kaniyang tolda sa may kakahuyan ng Zaananim malapit sa Kedes.
12 And it was reported to Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, had ascended to Mount Tabor.
Nang sinabihan nila si Sisera na umakyat si Barak sa Bundok Tabor,
13 And he gathered together the nine hundred chariots with scythes, and the entire army, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to the torrent Kishon.
tinipon ni Sisera ang kaniyang mga karwaheng pandigma, siyamnaraang bakal na karwaheng pandigma, at lahat ng mga sundalong kasama niya, mula sa Haroset ng mga Hentil patungo sa Ilog Kison.
14 And Deborah said to Barak: “Rise up. For this is the day on which the Lord delivers Sisera into your hands. For he is your commander.” And so, Barak descended from Mount Tabor, and the ten thousand fighting men with him.
Sinabi ni Debora kay Barak, “Humayo ka! Dahil ito ang araw na ibinigay sa iyo ni Yahweh ang tagumpay laban kay Sisera. Hindi ba pinangungunahan ka ni Yahweh?” Kaya bumaba si Barak mula sa Bundok Tabor na may sampung libong kalalakihang sumusunod sa kaniya.
15 And the Lord struck Sisera with great fear, and all his chariots and all his multitude with the edge of the sword, in the sight of Barak, so much so that Sisera, leaping from his chariot, fled on foot.
Ginawa ni Yahweh na malito ang hukbo ni Sisera, ang lahat ng kaniyang mga karwaheng pandigma, at lahat ng kaniyang hukbo. Sinalakay sila ng mga tauhan ni Barak at bumaba si Sisera sa kaniyang karwaheng pandigma at tumakbo.
16 And Barak pursued the fleeing chariots, and the army, as far as Harosheth of the Gentiles. And the entire multitude of the enemy was cut down, unto utter annihilation.
Pero tinugis ni Barak ang mga karwaheng pandigma at ang hukbo patungo sa Haroset ng mga Hentil, at ang buong hukbo ni Sisera ay namatay sa pamamagitan ng talim ng espada, at wala ni isa mang nakaligtas.
17 But Sisera, while fleeing, arrived at the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber, the Kenite. For there was peace between Jabin, the king of Hazor, and the house of Heber, the Kenite.
Pero tumakbo palayo si Sisera patungo sa tolda ni Jael, na asawa ni Heber na Kenita, dahil mayroong kapayapaan sa pagitan ni Jabin na hari ng Hazor at ng sambahayan ni Heber na Kenita.
18 Therefore, Jael went out to meet Sisera, and she said to him: “Enter to me, my lord. Enter, you should not be afraid.” And he entered her tent, and having been covered by her with a cloak,
Lumabas si Jael para salubungin si Sisera at sinabi sa kaniya, “Lumapit ka, aking panginoon; lumapit ka patungo sa akin at huwag matakot.” Kaya lumapit si Sisera patungo sa kaniya at pumasok sa kaniyang tolda at siya ay tinakpan niya ng isang kumot.
19 he said to her: “Give me, I beg you, a little water. For I am very thirsty.” And she opened a bottle of milk, and she gave him to drink. And she covered him.
Sinabi niya sa kaniya, “Pakiusap bigyan mo ako ng kaunting tubig na maiinom, dahil ako ay nauuhaw.” Binuksan niya ang isang balat na supot ng gatas at binigyan siya ng inumin, at siya'y tinakpan niyang muli.
20 And Sisera said to her: “Stand before the door of the tent. And if anyone arrives, questioning you and saying, ‘Could there be any man here?’ you shall respond, ‘There is no one.’”
Sinabi niya sa kaniya, “Tumayo ka sa bungad ng tolda at kung may dumating at magtanong sa iyo, 'May tao ba riyan?' sabihing, 'Wala'.”
21 And so Jael, the wife of Heber, took a spike from the tent, and also took a mallet. And entering unseen and with silence, she placed the spike over the temple of his head. And striking it with the mallet, she drove it through his brain, as far as the ground. And so, joining deep sleep to death, he fell unconscious and died.
Pagkatapos nagdala si Jael (ang asawa ni Heber) ng isang pakong kahoy ng tolda at martilyo sa kaniyang kamay at palihim na pumunta sa kaniya, dahil siya ay nasa mahimbing na pagtulog, at ipinukpok niya ang pakong kahoy sa tagiliran ng kaniyang ulo at ito ay tumusok patagos sa kaniya at bumaba sa lupa. At siya ay namatay.
22 And behold, Barak arrived, in pursuit of Sisera. And Jael, going out to meet him, said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.” And when he had entered her tent, he saw Sisera lying dead, with the spike fixed in his temples.
Habang hinahabol ni Barak si Sisera, lumabas si Jael para salubungin siya at sinabi sa kaniya, “Halika, ipapakita ko sa iyo ang taong hinahanap mo.” Kaya sumama siya sa kaniya, at naroon nakabulagtang patay si Sisera, na ang pakong kahoy ng tolda ay nasa tagiliran ng kaniyang ulo.
23 Thus did God humble Jabin, the king of Canaan, on that day, before the sons of Israel.
Kaya sa araw na iyon tinalo ng Diyos si Jabin, ang hari ng Canaan, sa harapan ng mga tao ng Israel.
24 And they increased every day. And with a strong hand they overpowered Jabin, the king of Canaan, until they wiped him out.
Ang lakas ng mga tao ng Israel ay tumindi nang tumindi laban kay Jabin ang hari ng Canaan, hanggang sa siya ay wasakin nila.
