Judges 4
1 And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead.
Ekudi bwe yamala okufa Abayisirayiri ne bakola nate ebibi eri Mukama.
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.
Mukama n’abawaayo mu mikono gya Yabini Kabaka wa Kanani, eyabeeranga e Kazoli; omuduumizi w’eggye lye nga ye Sisera eyabeeranga e Kalosesi eky’abamawanga.
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.
Yabini yalina amagaali ag’ekyuma lwenda, era n’ajoogera Abayisirayiri emyaka amakumi abiri, kyebaava balaajaanira Mukama abayambe.
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
Awo Nnabbi Debola mukazi wa Leppidosi ye yali akulembera Abayisirayiri mu kiseera ekyo.
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.
Era bulijjo yatuulanga wansi w’olukindu olwayitibwanga olwa Debola wakati w’e Lama ne Beseri mu kitundu kya Efulayimu eky’ensozi: Abayisirayiri ne bajjanga gyali okubalamula.
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?
N’atumya Baraki mutabani wa Abinoamu ave mu Kedesi ekitundu kya Nafutaali, n’amugamba nti, “Mukama Katonda w’Abayisirayiri akulagidde nti, ‘Ggenda okuŋŋaanyize abasajja bo ku lusozi Taboli, obalondemu omutwalo gumu okuva mu kika ekya Nafutaali n’ekya Zebbulooni.
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.
Ndisindika gy’oli ku mugga Kisoni, Sisera omuduumizi w’eggye lya Yabini, n’amagaali ge n’abalwanyi be era ndibawaayo mu mikono gyo.’”
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 n’amuddamu nti, “Kale nnaagenda bw’onokkiriza ŋŋende naawe, naye bw’otokkirize nange siigende.”
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.
Debola n’amugamba nti, “Wewaawo nnaagenda naawe, naye ekitiibwa n’obuwanguzi tebiibe bibyo, kubanga Mukama aliwaayo Sisera awangulwe mu mikono gy’omukazi.” Baraki n’addayo ne Debola e Kedesi.
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 n’ayita ab’ekika kya Zebbulooni n’ekya Nafutaali bakuŋŋaanire e Kedesi, abasajja omutwalo gumu ne bamugoberera awamu ne Debola.
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.
Keberi Omukeeni yazimba eweema ye okumpi n’omuti omwera e Zaanannimu ekiri okumpi ne Kedesi oluvannyuma lw’okwawukana ne Bakeeni banne, bazzukulu ba Kobabu mukoddomi wa Musa.
12 And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
Awo Sisera bwe yamanya nga Baraki mutabani wa Abinoamu atuuse ku Lusozi Taboli,
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.
n’akuŋŋaanya amagaali ge gonna lwenda ag’ekyuma, n’abalwanyi be bonna okuva ku Kalosesi eky’abamawanga okutuuka ku mugga 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.
Debola n’agamba Baraki nti, “Mukama si y’akukulembedde! Noolwekyo situkiramu kubanga olwa leero Mukama awaddeyo Sisera mu mikono gyo.” Awo Baraki n’ava ku lusozi Taboli n’abalwanyi be omutwalo gumu.
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.
Mukama n’afufuggaza n’ekitala Sisera n’amagaali gonna n’eggye lye lyonna nga Baraki alaba; Sisera n’abuuka mu ggaali lye, n’adduka.
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 n’afubutula eggye lya Sisera n’amagaali gaalyo okutuuka e Keloseesi eky’amawanga; era n’abatta n’ekitala obutalekaawo yadde n’omu.
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.
Naye Sisera n’addukira eri eweema ya Yayeeri mukazi w’Omukeeni Keberi: Kubanga waaliwo enkolagana wakati wa kabaka w’e Kazoli, Yabini n’ab’omu maka g’Omukeeni Keberi.
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.
Yayeeri n’afuluma okusisinkana Sisera; n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange yingira mu weema yange, totya.” Sisera n’ayingira mu weema. Yayeeri n’amubikkako omunagiro.
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.
Namwegayirira nti, “Mpa ku tuzzi nnyweko kubanga ennyonta enzita.” N’asumulula eddiba omufukibwa amata n’amunywesa oluvannyuma n’amubikkako.
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.'
Sisera n’agamba Yayeeri nti, “Yimirira mu mulyango gwa weema eno, omuntu yenna bw’ajja n’akubuuza obanga muno mulimu omusajja yenna, omuddamu nti, ‘Temuli.’”
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.
Awo Sisera bwe yali nga ali mu tulo tungi, Yayeeri mukazi wa Keberi n’addira enkondo ya weema n’ennyondo n’amusooberera n’amukomerera enkondo mu kyenyi, n’eyitamu n’ekwata n’ettaka n’afa.
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.
Awo Baraki bwe yali nga anoonya Sisera, Yayeeri n’afuluma okumusisinkana, n’amugamba nti, “Jjangu nkulage omusajja gw’onoonya. Baraki n’ayingira mu weema n’alaba omulambo ggwa Sisera nga gukubiddwamu enkondo mu kyenyi.”
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
Ku lunaku olwo Katonda n’awa Abayisirayiri obuwanguzi ku Yabini kabaka wa Kanani.
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.
Abayisirayiri ne beeyongera okufufuggaza Yabini kabaka wa Kanani okutuusa lwe bamuzikiririzza ddala.
