Lawkcengkung 4
1 Ehud a due hnukkhu hoi Isarelnaw ni Cathut hmalah hno kahawihoeh bout a sak awh.
After Ehud died, the Israelites again did evil in the sight of the LORD.
2 BAWIPA ni Kanaan ram Hazor kho dawk siangpahrang lah kaawm e Jabin koe a yo awh. A ransabawi teh Harosheth-hagoyim kaawm e Sisera doeh.
So the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his forces was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim.
3 Hahoi teh, Isarelnaw ni Bawipa koe kabawpnae a hei awh teh a kaw awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Jabin ni sumrangleng 900 touh a tawn. Isarelnaw teh kum 20 touh thung puenghoi a rektap awh.
Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, because Jabin had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he had harshly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years.
4 Hatnae tueng dawkvah Lappidoth tami profet napui Deborah teh, Isarelnaw hah a uk.
Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.
5 Ephraim mon dawk e hmuen, Ramah hoi Bethel rahak kaawm koe Deborah teh samtue rahim vah a tahung teh, haw hoiyah Isarelnaw lawk ouk a ceng.
And she would sit under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, where the Israelites would go up to her for judgment.
6 Tami a patoun teh, Abinoam capa Barak hah Naphtali ram Kedesh kho hoi a kaw teh, nang ni, Naphtali miphun, Zebulun miphun dawk e tami 10, 000 touh Tabor mon koe pâkhueng awh.
She summoned Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, “Surely the LORD, the God of Israel, is commanding you: ‘Go and march to Mount Tabor, taking with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun.
7 Jabin ransabawi kalenpounge Sisera teh a marangnaw, a kaw e naw khuehoi nang na dawn hanelah, Kishion tui teng vah ka hrawi vaiteh, ahni teh na kut dawk na poe han telah, Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut ni lawk na thui atipouh.
And I will draw out Sisera the commander of Jabin’s army, his chariots, and his troops to the River Kishon, and I will deliver him into your hand.’”
8 Hahoi Barak ni ahnimouh koe, na cetkhai pawiteh ka cei van han, na cet hoehpawiteh ka cet van mahoeh atipouh.
Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go.”
9 Hahoi ahnimouh ni, na ceikhai roeroe han. Hatei na ceinae lamthung ni nama teh minhmai kahawi na hmawt mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Sisera teh napui buet touh e kut dawk a yo han telah ati. Hathnukkhu, a thaw teh, Barak hoi Kedesh kholah a cei.
“I will certainly go with you,” Deborah replied, “but the road you are taking will bring you no honor, because the LORD will be selling Sisera into the hand of a woman.” So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh,
10 Barak ni Zebulun hoi Naphtali hah Kedesh vah a kaw teh, tami 10, 000 touh a cei teh Deborah hai a kâbang van.
where he summoned Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah also went with him.
11 Ken miphun Heber teh, Mosi e a masei napui Hobab e catoun, Ken miphunnaw hoi a kampek awh teh Kedesh teng, Zaanannim kaawm e kathen kung koe, rim a sak teh ao awh.
Now Heber the Kenite had moved away from the Kenites, the descendants of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent by the great tree of Zaanannim, which was near Kedesh.
12 Abinoam capa Barak teh, Tabor mon dawk a luen tie Sisera koe a dei pouh toteh,
When Sisera was told that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up Mount Tabor,
13 Sisera ni marang a tawn e naw hoi, a tawn e sumrangleng 900 touh hoi Harosheth-hagoyim hoi Kishion palang totouh a taminaw a pâkhueng.
he summoned all nine hundred of his iron chariots and all the men with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the River Kishon.
14 Deborah ni Barak teh, thaw haw, Sisera teh BAWIPA ni na kut dawk poenae hnin a pha toe. BAWIPA teh na hmalah yo a cei toe vaiyaw telah atipouh. Barak ni Tabor mon dawk hoi a hnukkâbang tami 10, 000 touh hoi a cathuk sin.
Then Deborah said to Barak, “Arise, for this is the day that the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone before you?” So Barak came down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.
15 Hahoi, BAWIPA ni Sisera hoi a marangnaw hoi a ransanaw pueng teh, Barak hmalah koung a thei pouh. Sisera ma teh, amae rangleng dawk hoi a kum teh, a khok hoi a yawng.
And in front of him the LORD routed with the sword Sisera, all his charioteers, and all his army. Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled on foot.
16 Hahoi Barak ni rangleng hoi ransanaw hoi Harosheth-hagoyim kho totouh a pâlei teh, Sisera ransanaw pueng teh tahloi hoi he a thei awh. Buet touh boehai hlout a hoeh.
Then Barak pursued the chariots and army as far as Harosheth-hagoyim, and the whole army of Sisera fell by the sword; not a single man was left.
17 Hateiteh, Sisera teh a khok hoi Ken tami Hiber e yu Jael e rim dawk a yawng. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Hazor siangpahrang Jabin hoi Ken tami Haber rim imthungkhunaw hoi a kâhuiko awh.
Meanwhile, Sisera had fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there was peace between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
18 Jael ni Sisera kâhmo hanlah a tâco teh, bawipa kâen leih, kai koe kâenh, taket hanh atipouh. A rim thung a kâen sak teh, hni hai a khu.
Jael went out to greet Sisera and said to him, “Come in, my lord. Come in with me. Do not be afraid.” So he entered her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
19 Hahoi ahni ni, pahren lahoi tui nei hane na poe haw, tui kahran poung atipouh. Hateh, napui ni, maito sanu bom a paawng teh a nei sak hnukkhu hni bout a khu.
Sisera said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” So she opened a container of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him again.
20 Hahoi ahni ni, tho koe kangdout nateh tami buetbuet touh ni tongpa hah ao maw telah na pacei pawiteh, awm hoeh telah tet pouh lah a, atipouh.
“Stand at the entrance to the tent,” he said, “and if anyone comes and asks you, ‘Is there a man here?’ say, ‘No.’”
21 Hatei, Haber e a yu Jael ni rim a hetnae cawt hoi cakkin a la teh, ngawt a tawn dawk a i lahun nah, arulahoi duem a cei sin teh, a hnâlakheng dawk pawk a het pouh teh, talai dawk moncawm a um, hateh a due.
But as he lay sleeping from exhaustion, Heber’s wife Jael took a tent peg, grabbed a hammer, and went silently to Sisera. She drove the peg through his temple and into the ground, and he died.
22 Khenhaw! Barak ni Sisera a pâlei navah, Jael ni kâhmo hanlah a tâco sin teh, tho leih, na tawng e tami teh na patue han atipouh teh, Barak rim thung a kâen navah, Sisera teh a hnâlakheng dawk cawt hoi pawk kâpâcue lah ao e hah a hmu.
When Barak arrived in pursuit of Sisera, Jael went out to greet him and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man you are seeking.” So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera dead, with a tent peg through his temple.
23 Hat hnin vah, BAWIPA ni Kanaan siangpahrang Jabin teh, Isarelnaw hmalah a sung sak.
On that day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites.
24 Isarelnaw teh a tha hoehoe ao awh teh, a hnukteng vah Kanaan siangpahrang Jabin hah a raphoe awh.
And the hand of the Israelites grew stronger and stronger against Jabin king of Canaan until they destroyed him.
