6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-Naphtali, and said to him, Hath not Jehovah the God of Israel commanded? Go and draw towards mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun,
And she sent and she summoned Barak [the] son of Abinoam from Kedesh Naphtali and she said to him ¿ not has he commanded - Yahweh [the] God of Israel go and you will march at [the] mountain of Tabor and you will take with you ten thousand man from [the] descendants of Naphtali and of [the] descendants of Zebulun.
7 and I will draw unto thee, to the torrent Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, and his chariots and his multitude, and I will give him into thy hand.
And I will draw to you to [the] wadi of Kishon Sisera [the] commander of [the] army of Jabin and chariotry his and multitude his and I will give him in hand your.
8 And Barak said to her, If thou goest with me, then I will go, but if thou goest not with me, I will not go.
And he said to her Barak if you will go with me and I will go and if not you will go with me not I will go.
9 And she said, I will by all means go with thee, only that it will not be to thine honour upon the way which thou goest, for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
And she said certainly I will go with you nevertheless for not it will be honor your on the way which you [are] going for in [the] hand of a woman he will sell Yahweh Sisera and she rose Deborah and she went with Barak Kedesh towards.
10 And Barak called together Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and there went up at his feet ten thousand men; and Deborah went up with him.
And he summoned Barak Zebulun and Naphtali Kedesh towards and it went up at feet his ten thousand man and she went up with him Deborah.
11 (Now Heber the Kenite had severed himself from the Kenites, from the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak of Zaannaim, which is by Kedesh.)
And Heber the Kenite [was] separate from [the] Kenite[s] from [the] descendants of Hobab [the] father-in-law of Moses and he had pitched tent his to [the] great tree (in Zaanannim *QK) which [is] with Kedesh.
12 And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to mount Tabor.
And people told to Sisera that he had gone up Barak [the] son of Abinoam [the] mountain of Tabor.
13 Then Sisera gathered together all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth-Goim to the torrent Kishon.
And he summoned Sisera all chariotry his nine hundred chariot[s] of iron and all the people which [was] with him from Harosheth Haggoyim to [the] wadi of Kishon.
14 And Deborah said to Barak, Up; for this is the day in which Jehovah hath given Sisera into thy hand! Is not Jehovah gone out before thee? And Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
And she said Deborah to Barak arise for this [is] the day which he has given Yahweh Sisera in hand your ¿ not Yahweh has he gone out before you and he went down Barak from [the] mountain of Tabor and ten thousand man [were] after him.
15 And Jehovah discomfited Sisera, and all the chariots, and all the army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera got down from [his] chariot, and fled on foot.
And he routed Yahweh Sisera and all the chariotry and all the army to [the] mouth of [the] sword before Barak and he went down Sisera from on the chariot and he fled on feet his.
16 And Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, to Harosheth-Goim; and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not one was left.
And Barak he pursued after the chariotry and after the army to Harosheth Haggoyim and it fell all [the] army of Sisera to [the] mouth of [the] sword not it was left up to one.
17 And Sisera fled on foot to 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.
And Sisera he fled on feet his to [the] tent of Jael [the] wife of Heber the Kenite for peace [was] between Jabin [the] king of Hazor and between [the] house of Heber the Kenite.
18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And he turned in to her, into the tent, and she covered him with the quilt.
And she went out Jael to meet Sisera and she said to him turn aside! O lord my turn aside! to me may not you be afraid and he turned aside to her the tent towards and she covered him with the covering.
19 And he said to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty. And she opened the flask of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
And he said to her give to drink me please a little of water for I am thirsty and she opened [the] skin-bottle of milk and she gave a drink him and she covered him.
20 And he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be if any one come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
And he said to her stand [the] opening of the tent and it will be if anyone he will come and he will ask you and he will say ¿ [is] there here anyone and you will say no.
21 And Jael Heber's wife took a tent-pin, and took the hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and smote the pin into his temples, and it penetrated into the ground; for he had fallen into a deep sleep and was faint; and he died.
And she took Jael [the] wife of Heber [the] peg of the tent and she put the hammer in hand her and she went to him in secrecy and she drove the peg in temple his and it went down in the ground and he [was] sleeping and he was weary and he died.
22 And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael went out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And he went into her [tent], and behold, Sisera lay dead, and the pin was in his temples.
And there! Barak [was] pursuing Sisera and she went out Jael to meet him and she said to him come and I will show you the man whom you [are] seeking and he went to her and there! Sisera [was] lying dead and the peg [was] in temple his.
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
And he subdued God on the day that Jabin [the] king of Canaan before [the] people of Israel.
24 And the hand of the children of Israel ever advanced, and prevailed against Jabin king of Canaan, until they had cut off Jabin king of Canaan.
And it went [the] hand of [the] people of Israel going and hard on Jabin [the] king of Canaan until that they cut off Jabin [the] king of Canaan.
