Judges 4
1 And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead.
Ehudi atamwalira, Aisraeli anachitanso zinthu zoyipira Yehova.
2 And the LORD gave them over into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth-goiim.
Choncho Yehova anawapereka mʼmanja mwa Yabini, mfumu ya ku Kanaani, imene inkalamulira ku Hazori. Mkulu wa ankhondo ake anali Sisera, amene ankakhala ku Haroseti-Hagoyimu.
3 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
Aisraeli analira kwa Yehova kuti awathandize, chifukwa Sisera anali ndi magaleta achitsulo 900 ndipo anazunza Aisraeli mwankhanza kwa zaka makumi awiri.
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
Debora, mneneri wamkazi, mkazi wake wa Rapidoti ndiye ankatsogolera Israeli nthawi imeneyo.
5 And she sat under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Iye ankakhala pansi pa mtengo wa mgwalangwa wa Debora, pakati pa Rama ndi Beteli mʼdziko la ku mapiri la Efereimu, ndipo Aisraeli ankapita kwa iye kuti akaweruze milandu yawo.
6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him: 'Hath not the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded, saying: Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
Debora uja anatuma munthu kuti akayitane Baraki mwana wa Abinoamu wa ku Kedesi mʼdziko la Nafutali ndipo anati kwa iye, “Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akukulamula iwe kuti, ‘Pita kasonkhanitse anthu ku phiri la Tabori. Ubwere nawo anthu 10,000 a fuko la Nafutali ndi a fuko la Zebuloni.
7 And I will draw unto thee to the brook Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thy hand.
Ine ndidzakokera Sisera mkulu wa ankhondo a Yabini pamodzi ndi magaleta ake ndi asilikali ake kwa inu ku mtsinje wa Kisoni ndipo ndidzamupereka mʼmanja mwanu.’”
8 And Barak said unto her: 'If thou wilt go with me, then I will go; but if thou wilt not go with me, I will not go.'
Baraki anamuyankha kuti, “Mukapita nane limodzi ine ndipita. Koma ngati sitipitira limodzi, inenso sindipita.”
9 And she said: 'I will surely go with thee; notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thy honour; for the LORD will give Sisera over into the hand of a woman.' And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Debora anati, “Chabwino, ine ndipita nawe limodzi. Koma mudziwe kuti inu simudzalandirapo ulemu pa zimene mwachitazi popeza Yehova wapereka Sisera mʼmanja mwa munthu wamkazi.” Choncho Debora ananyamuka kupita ku Kedesi pamodzi ndi Baraki.
10 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up ten thousand men at his feet; and Deborah went up with him.
Baraki anayitana mafuko a Zebuloni ndi Nafutali kuti abwere ku Kedesi. Anthu 10,000 anamutsatira, ndipo Debora anapita naye pamodzi.
11 Now Heber the Kenite had severed himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as Elon-bezaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
Nthawi imeneyo nʼkuti Mkeni wina dzina lake Heberi atalekana ndi Akeni anzake, zidzukulu za Hobabu, mlamu wa Mose, nakamanga tenti yake pafupi ndi mtengo wa thundu ku Zananimu pafupi ndi Kedesi.
12 And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
Pamene Sisera anamva kuti Baraki mwana wa Abinoamu wapita ku phiri la Tabori,
13 And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth-goiim, unto the brook Kishon.
anasonkhanitsa magaleta ake achitsulo 900 ndi anthu onse amene anali naye ndipo anachoka ku Haroseti-Hagoyimu kupita ku mtsinje wa Kisoni.
14 And Deborah said unto Barak: 'Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thy hand; is not the LORD gone out before thee?' So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Debora anawuza Baraki kuti, “Dzukani! Paja ndi lero limene Yehova wapereka Sisera mʼmanja mwako. Kodi Yehova sanakhale akukutsogolerani?” Choncho Baraki anatsika phiri la Tabori, anthu 10,000 akumutsata.
15 And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
Yehova anasokoneza Sisera ndi magaleta ake pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake onse. Baraki ndi anthu ake anawapirikitsa ndipo Sisera anatsika pa galeta yake nayamba kuthawa pansi.
16 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth-goiim; and all the host of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not a man left.
Baraki analondola magaletawo pamodzi ndi ankhondo onse mpaka ku Haroseti-Hagoyimu, ndipo ankhondo onse a Sisera anaphedwa ndi lupanga. Palibe munthu ndi mmodzi yemwe anatsala.
17 Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet 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.
Komabe Sisera anathawa pansi mpaka anakafika ku tenti ya Yaeli mkazi wa Heberi Mkeni uja, chifukwa panali mtendere pakati pa Yabini mfumu ya Hazori ndi banja la Heberi, Mkeni uja.
18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him: 'Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not.' And he turned in unto her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
Yaeli anatuluka kukachingamira Sisera ndipo anati, “Bwerani mbuye wanga, lowani momwemo musaope.” Choncho analowa mʼtenti muja, ndipo anamufunditsa chofunda.
19 And he said unto 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 drink, and covered him.
Anati, “Ndili ndi ludzu, chonde patseniko madzi pangʼono akumwa, ndili ndi ludzu.” Mkaziyo anatsekula thumba la chikopa mmene munali mkaka, namupatsa kuti amwe, ndipo anamufunditsanso.
20 And he said unto her: 'Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say: Is there any man here? that thou shalt say: No.'
Kenaka anawuza mkaziyo kuti, “Muyime pa khomo la tentili, ndipo munthu wina akabwera kudzakufunsani kuti, ‘Kodi kwafika munthu wina kuno?’ Inu muyankha kuti, ‘Ayi.’”
21 Then Jael Heber's wife took a tent-pin, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he swooned and died.
Koma Yaeli mkazi wa Heberi, anatenga chikhomo cha tenti ndi hamara ndi kupita mwakachetechete kwa Sisera uja. Tsono Sisera ali mtulo chifukwa chotopa, mkazi uja anamukhomera chikhomo chija mʼmutu mwake. Chinatulukira kwinaku mpaka kulowa mʼnthaka, ndipo anafa pomwepo.
22 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him: 'Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest.' And he came unto her; and, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent-pin was in his temples.
Baraki atafika akulondola Sisera, Yaeli anatuluka kukamuchingamira namuwuza kuti, “Lowani mudzaone munthu amene mukumufunafuna.” Tsono atalowa anangoona Sisera ali thapsa pansi wakufa ndi chikhomo chili mʼmutu mwake.
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
“Choncho pa tsiku limenelo Mulungu anagonjetsa Yabini mfumu ya Akanaani, pamaso pa Aisraeli.
24 And the hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
Ndipo Aisraeli anapanikizabe Yabini, mfumu ya Akanaani, mpaka kumuwonongeratu.
