Judges 4
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, after Ehud was dead.
Israelviwo gawɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume, le Ehud ƒe ku megbe
2 And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
eya ta Yehowa tsɔ wo de asi na Yabin, Kanaan fia, ame si ɖu fia le Hazor. Eƒe aʋafia ŋkɔe nye Sisera eye wònɔ Haroset Hagoyim.
3 And the children of Israel cried to the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
Esi gatasiaɖam alafa asiekɛ nɔ esi, eye wòwɔ funyafunya Israelviwo ƒe blaeve sɔŋ ta la, Israelviwo do ɣli na Yehowa hebia eƒe kpekpeɖeŋu be wòaɖe yewo.
4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
Ame si nɔ ʋɔnu drɔ̃m na Israel ɣe ma ɣie nye nyɔnu Nyagblɔɖila Debora, Lapidot srɔ̃.
5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Edrɔ̃a ʋɔnu le teƒe aɖe si woyɔna fifia be, “Debora ƒe Deti,” le Rama kple Betel dome, le Efraim ƒe tonyigba dzi. Israelviwo yia egbɔ le afi ma be wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu na yewo.
6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedeshnaphtali, and said to him, Hath not the LORD 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?
Gbe ɖeka la, Debora yɔ Barak, Abinoam ƒe vi, ame si nɔ Kedes le Naftalinyigba dzi eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la de se na wò be, ‘Yi, nàƒo ƒu aʋawɔla akpe ewo tso Naftali ƒe viwo kple Zebulon ƒe viwo dome eye nàkplɔ wo ayi Tabɔr to la dzi.
7 And I will draw to thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thy hand.
Mable Sisera, Yabin ƒe aʋakplɔla, eƒe tasiaɖamwo kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la nu ayi Kison tɔsisi la toe eye matsɔ wo ade asi na wò le afi ma.’”
8 And Barak said to her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
Barak ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nenye be wò ŋutɔ àyi kplim la, ekema mayi gake ne màyi kplim o la, nyemayi o.”
9 And she said, I will surely go with thee: however the journey that thou takest shall not be for thy honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Debora ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Enyo ŋutɔ, mayi kpli wò gake ɖe ale si nèle nya la ŋuti dɔ wɔmii ta la, bubu la manye tɔwò o elabena Yehowa atsɔ Sisera ade asi na nyɔnu.” Ale Debora yi Kedes kple Barak,
10 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
afi si wòyɔ Zebulon kple Naftali ƒe toawo ƒo ƒu ɖo. Ŋutsu akpe ewo dze eyome eye Debora hã yi kplii.
11 Now Heber the Kenite, who was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had separated himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent to the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
Azɔ Kenitɔ, Heber, dzo le Kenitɔ bubuawo dome, ame siwo nye Mose toa, Hobab ƒe dzidzimeviwo eye wòtu eƒe agbadɔ ɖe ati gã si le Zaananim, esi te ɖe Kedes ŋu la gbɔ.
12 And they showed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to mount Tabor.
Esi wogblɔ na Sisera be Barak, Abinoam ƒe vi, yi Tabɔr toa dzi la
13 And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to the river of Kishon.
eƒo aʋakɔ gã aɖe nu ƒu, si si gatasiaɖam alafa asiekɛ nɔ, eye woɖe zɔ tso Haroset Hagoyim yi Kison tɔsisi la to.
14 And Deborah said to Barak, Arise; for this is the day when the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thy hand: hath not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Debora gblɔ na Barak be, “Yi! Le egbeŋkeke sia dzi, Yehowa tsɔ Sisera de asiwò me. Ɖe Yehowa medze ŋgɔ na wò oa?” Ale Barak ɖi tso Tabɔr to la dzi eye ŋutsu akpe ewoawo nɔ eyome.
15 And the LORD destroyed Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera came down from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
Esi Barak zɔ gbɔna la, Yehowa de tɔtɔ Sisera, eƒe tasiaɖamwo kple aʋakɔ la dome kple yi eye Sisera ŋutɔ ɖi le eƒe tasiaɖam me heto afɔ si.
16 But Barak pursued the chariots, and the host, to Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
Ke Barak ti tasiaɖamwo kple aʋakɔ la yome va se ɖe Haroset Hagoyim ke. Ale Sisera ƒe aʋakɔ la katã tsi yi nu, ame ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã mesusɔ o.
17 However 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.
Sisera si yi ɖaɣla eɖokui ɖe Yael, ame si nye Heber, Kenitɔ la, srɔ̃ ƒe agbadɔ me elabena nusɔsɔe nɔ Fia Yabin, Hazor fia kple Heber ƒe hlɔ̃ la dome.
18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in to her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
Yael do go yi ɖakpe Sisera eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Amegã, va nye agbadɔ me, makpɔ tawò eye ànɔ dedie eya ta mègavɔ̃ o.” Ale Sisera yi ɖamlɔ agbadɔ la me eye Yael tsyɔ kundru nɛ.
19 And he said to 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 a drink, and covered him.
Sisera gblɔ na Yael be, “Meɖe kuku, tsikɔ le wuyem, na tsim mano.” Yael na notsii wòno eye wògatsyɔ kundru la nɛ.
20 Again he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
Sisera gblɔ na Yael be, “Tsi tre ɖe wò agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu eye ne ame aɖe va le diyem la, gblɔ nɛ be, ame aɖeke mele afi sia o.”
21 Then Jael Heber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
Yael tsɔ agbadɔ la ƒe tsyoti tsutsɔe aɖe kple zu, te ɖe Sisera ŋu dzaa esi wònɔ alɔ̃ me, eye wòƒo tsyoti la ɖe eƒe to me wòdo to to evelia me hemimi eƒe ta ɖe anyigba. Ale Sisera ku, elabena ɖeɖiteameŋu na wòdɔ alɔ̃ yi eme ʋĩi.
22 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
Esi Barak va nɔ Sisera dim yina la, Yael yi ɖado goe hegblɔ nɛ be, “Va mafia ame si dim nèle la wò.” Ale Barak dze eyome yi agbadɔ la me. Ekpɔ Sisera wòku ɖe afi ma eye tsyoti la nɔ to me nɛ.
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
Ale Mawu wɔ Israel ŋu dɔ hebɔbɔ Kanaan fia Yabin ɖe anyi le Israelviwo ŋkume.
24 And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, Israelviwo nɔ ŋusẽ kpɔm ɖe edzi ɖe Yabin, Kanaan fia ŋu va se ɖe esime wotsrɔ̃ eƒe amewo vɔ keŋkeŋ.
