Judges 4
1 After Ehud died, the Israelis again started doing things Yahweh said were very evil.
Tukun Ehud el misa, mwet Israel elos sifilpa orekma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD.
2 So he allowed the army of Jabin, one of the kings of Canaan land, who ruled in Hazor [city], to conquer the Israelis. The commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-Haggoyim.
Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD El eisalosyang nu inpaol Jabin, sie tokosra lun mwet Canaan su leumi siti Hazor. Mwet se ma kol mwet mweun lal an pa Sisera, su muta in acn se pangpang Harosheth-lun-mwet-Gentile.
3 Sisera’s [army] had 900 chariots. For 20 years he oppressed the Israelis. Then they pleaded to Yahweh to help them.
Oasr chariot osra eufoko natul Jabin, ac el leumi mwet Israel ac akkeokyalos ke lusen yac longoul. Na mwet Israel elos wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD ac siyuk kasru sel.
4 At that time Deborah, who was the wife of Lappidoth, was a prophetess who had become the leader in Israel.
In pacl sac Deborah, mutan kial Lappidoth, sie mutan palu, el oayapa mwet nununku se lun mwet Israel.
5 She would sit under her palm tree at a place between Ramah and Bethel, in the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim lived, and people would come to her and ask her to settle disputes between them.
El ac muta ye sak palm soko, pangpang Palm lal Deborah, inmasrlon Ramah ac Bethel fineol uh in facl Ephraim, ac mwet Israel elos ac tuku nu yorol tuh elan oru nununku lal kaclos.
6 One day she summoned Barak, the son of Abinoam, when he was in Kedesh, in the area where the descendants of Naphtali lived. She said to him, “This is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship, is commanding you to do: ‘Take with you 1,000 men, some from the descendants of Naphtali and some from the descendants of Zebulun, and lead them to Tabor Mountain.
Sie len ah el sapla nu sel Barak, wen natul Abinoam, nu in siti Kedesh in Naphtali ac fahk nu sel, “LEUM GOD lun Israel el sapkin nu sum ac fahk ouinge, ‘Eis singoul tausin mwet sin sruf lal Naphtali ac sruf lal Zebulun, ac kololos nu Fineol Tabor.
7 Yahweh will lure Sisera, the commander of King Jabin’s army, to come with his chariots and his army, to the Kishon River, [a few miles away]. I will enable your men to defeat them there.’”
Nga ac fah usalu Sisera, captain lun mwet mweun lal Jabin, in mweuni kom ke Infacl Kishon. El ac us chariot ac mwet mweun lal an, tusruktu nga fah asot kutangla nu sum.”’
8 Barak replied, “I will go only if you go with me.”
Na Barak el topuk ac fahk, “Nga ac som kom fin wiyu, tuh kom fin tia wiyu, nga ac fah tia som.”
9 She replied, “Okay, I will go with you. But because that is what you have decided to do, Yahweh will enable a woman to defeat Sisera, and the result will be that (you will not be honored/people will not honor you) [for doing that].”
Ac Deborah el fahk nu sel Barak, “Aok, nga ac wi kom, tusruktu kom ac fah tia akfulatyeyuk ke kutangla se inge, mweyen LEUM GOD El ac eisalang Sisera nu inpoun sie mutan.” Na Deborah el welul Barak ac som nu Kedesh.
10 So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh. There he summoned men from Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men came to him, and then they went together with Deborah [to Tabor Mountain].
Barak el pangonma mwet in sruf lal Naphtali ac sruf lal Zebulun nu Kedesh, ac oasr tausin singoul mwet welul. Ac Deborah el welul som.
11 At that time Heber, one of the descendants of the Ken people-group, had moved [with his wife Jael] from the area where that group lived, and set up his tent near the big oak tree at Zaanannim, near Kedesh. Heber was a descendant of Moses’ brother-in-law Hobab.
In pacl se inge Heber mwet Ken el tulokunak lohm nuknuk sel apkuran nu Kedesh, fototo nu ke sak oak soko in acn Zanannim. El tuh srengla liki mwet Ken wial ah, su fwil natul Hobab, sou lun mutan kial Moses.
12 Someone told Sisera that Barak had gone up on Tabor Mountain [with an army].
Ke Sisera el lohng mu Barak el fahsryak nu Fineol Tabor,
13 So he gathered his troops with their 900 chariots, and they marched from Harosheth-Haggoyim to the Kishon River.
el pangoneni chariot osra eufoko ac mwet lal nukewa, ac supwalosla liki acn Harosheth-lun-mwet-Gentile nu Infacl Kishon.
14 Then Deborah said to Barak, “Get ready! This is the day that Yahweh will enable your [army] to defeat the army of Sisera. Yahweh is going ahead of you!” So Barak led his men as they descended from Tabor Mountain.
Na Deborah el fahk nu sel Barak, “Fahsrot tuh LEUM GOD El kol kom. Misenge El asot kutangla nu sum facl Sisera.” Na Barak el tufoki Fineol Tabor me wi tausin singoul mwet mweun lal.
15 As they advanced, Yahweh caused Sisera and all his chariots and his army to have great difficulty maneuvering/moving around. So Sisera jumped down from his chariot and ran away.
Ke Barak ac mwet mweun lal elos mweun, LEUM GOD El arulana akfohsyalak Sisera ac mwet mweun lal wi chariot natulos. Na Sisera el srola liki chariot natul ac kasrusr kaing.
16 But Barak and his men pursued the other chariots and the enemy soldiers as far as Harosheth-Haggoyim. They killed all of the men in Sisera’s army. Not one man survived.
Barak el ukwe chariot inge ac mwet mweun inge nwe ke na sun acn Harosheth-lun-mwet-Gentile, ac mwet lal Sisera nukewa anwuki ac wangin sie lula.
17 But Sisera ran to Jael’s tent. He did that because [his boss], King Jabin of Hazor [city], was a good friend of [Jael’s husband] Heber.
Sisera el kaing nwe sun lohm nuknuk sel Jael, mutan kial Heber mwet Ken, mweyen oasr aetui inmasrlol Tokosra Jabin ac sou lal Heber.
18 Jael went out to greet Sisera. She said to him, “Sir, come into my tent! Do not be afraid!” So he went into the tent [and lay down], and she covered him with a blanket.
Jael el illa in sonol Sisera ac el fahk nu sel, “Utyak, leum se. Utyak nu in lohm nuknuk sik, ac nimet sangeng.” Na Sisera el utyak, ac Jael el okanulla ye nuknuk se.
19 He said to her, “I’m thirsty; can you give me some water?” So she opened a leather container of milk, and gave him a drink. Then she covered him with the blanket again.
Sisera el fahk nu sel Jael, “Nga malu. Nunak munas ase kutu kof an nimuk.” Jael el ikasla sie pak orekla ke kulun kosro mwe neinyuk milk, ac sang Sisera el nimya, na el sifil okanulla.
20 He said to her, “Stand in the entrance of the tent. If someone comes and asks ‘Is anyone else here?’, say ‘No.’”
Ac Sisera el fahk nu sel Jael, “Tu na mutunoa an. Fin oasr mwet tuku ac siyuk lah oasr mwet inge, kom fah fahk mu wangin.”
21 Sisera was very exhausted, so he soon was asleep. While he was sleeping, Jael crept quietly to him, holding a hammer and a tent peg. She pounded the peg into his skull, and all the way through his head into the ground, and he died.
Sisera el arulana totola, oru el topla na motulla. Jael el eis sie hammer ac soko kwi ma sang sruok lohm nuknuk ah, na el mahsrikyak nu yorol. El sang kwi soko ah patikya ke la sifal Sisera nwe ke sasla ke layen saya ke sifal nu infohk uh. Na el misa.
22 When Barak passed by Jael’s tent to look for Sisera, she went out to greet him. She said, “Come in, and I will show you the man you are searching for!” So he followed her into the tent, and he saw Sisera lying there, dead, with the tent peg through his head.
Ke Barak el tuku in sokol Sisera, Jael el tufoki in sonol ac fahk nu sel, “Fahsru, nga ac fahkak mwet se su kom suk an.” Na Barak el welul utyak, ac liyal Sisera ke el misa oan infohk uh, ac kwi soko ah sasla ke sifal.
23 On that day God enabled the Israelis to defeat [the army of] Jabin, the king of the people of Canaan.
In len sac, God El sang kutangla nu sin Israel facl Jabin, tokosra lun mwet Canaan.
24 From that time, the Israeli people continued to become stronger, and [the army of] King Jabin continued to become weaker. Finally the Israelis were able to completely subdue the people ruled by the king of Canaan.
Mwet Israel elos kui ac arulana liksreni lainul Jabin, tokosra lun mwet Canaan, nwe ke na elos kunausulla.
