Jongʼad Bura 4
1 Bangʼ ka Ehud nosetho, jo-Israel nochako otimo tim mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye.
After Ehud died, the Israelites again did evil in the sight of the LORD.
2 Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nousogi ne Jabin, ruodh Kanaan, ma loch mare neni Hazor. Jatend jolweny mage ne en Sisera, manodak Harosheth Hagoyim.
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 Nikech ne en-gi geche chuma mia ochiko kendo notiyo jo-Israel gachuna kuom higni piero ariyo, ne giywakne Jehova Nyasaye mondo oresgi.
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 Debora, janabi madhako, ma chi Lapidoth, notelo ne jo-Israel e kindeno.
Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.
5 Nobedo gi kar ngʼado bura e bwo Yadh Othith mar Debora mantiere kind Rama kod Bethel manie piny gode mar Efraim, kendo jo-Israel ne biro ire kanyo mondo ongʼadnegi bura.
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 Noluongo Barak wuod Abinoam moa Kedesh man Naftali kendo owachone niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, chiki ni, ‘Dhiyo, ikaw ji alufu apar mag Naftali kod Zebulun kendo itelnegi ka udhi e Got Tabor.
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 Abiro wuondo Sisera, jatend jolwenj Jabin, kanyakla gi gechene kod ogandage mag lweny nyaka e Aora Kishon kendo achiwe e lweti.’”
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 Barak nowachone niya, “Ka idhi koda, abiro dhi; to ka ok idhi koda, to ok abi dhi.”
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 Debora nowachone niya, “Mano kare, abiro dhi kodi. To nikech yo ma itimoe gini duongʼ, ok nobed mari, nimar Jehova Nyasaye nochiw Sisera ne dhako.” Omiyo Debora nodhi gi Barak nyaka Kedesh,
“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 kama noluonge Zebulun kod Naftali. Ji alufu apar noluwo bangʼe, kendo Debora bende nodhi kode.
where he summoned Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah also went with him.
11 Koro Heber ja-Keni noseweyo jo-Keni ma nyikwa Hobab, ma en or Musa, kendo oguro hembe machiegni gi yien maduongʼ man Zananim but Kedesh.
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 Kane ginyiso Sisera ni Barak wuod Abinoam nosedhi Got Tabor,
When Sisera was told that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up Mount Tabor,
13 Sisera nochoko kanyakla gechene mag chuma mia ochiko kod chwo duto kode, koa Harosheth Hagoyim nyaka e Aora Kishon.
he summoned all nine hundred of his iron chariots and all the men with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the River Kishon.
14 Eka Debora nowachone Barak niya, “Dhiyo! Ma e odiechiengʼ ma Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo Sisera e lweti. Donge Jehova Nyasaye osedhi nyimi?” Omiyo Barak nodhi e Got Tabor, kiluwe gi ji alufu apar.
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 Kaka Barak ne sudo machiegni, Jehova Nyasaye nogoyo Sisera, jolweny mage kod gechene gi kihondko kendo Sisera nojwangʼo gache mi oringo gi tiende.
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 To Barak nodhi nyime gi lawo geche kod jolweny ma ochopo Harosheth Hagoyim. Oganda lweny duto mar Sisera noneg gi ligangla; kendo onge ngʼama notony.
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 Kata kamano, Sisera, noringo nyaka e hemb Jael, ma chi Heber ja-Keni, nikech ne nitie osiep e kind Jabin ruodh Hazor kod anywola Heber ja-Keni.
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 nowuok mondo orom gi Sisera kendo owachone niya, “Bi, ruodha, donji. Kik iluor.” Omiyo nodonjo ei hembe, kendo noume.
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 Nowacho niya, “Awinjo riyo. Kiyie to miya pi amodhi.” Noyawo chupa mar chak, momiye omadho, bangʼe oume kendo.
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 Nowachone niya, “Chungʼ e dhood hema. Ka ngʼato obiro kendo openji ni, ‘Bende ngʼato nitiere ka?’ To wachne ni, ‘Ooyo.’”
“Stand at the entrance to the tent,” he said, “and if anyone comes and asks you, ‘Is there a man here?’ say, ‘No.’”
21 Jael, ma chi Heber, nokawo sigingi mar hema kod nyundo kendo nodhi ire mapiyo kama nindo nogoye ngoga, kendo ool. Nopowo iye gi sigingino nyaka e lowo, mi otho.
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 Barak nobiro kolawo Sisera, kendo Jael nowuok mondo orom kode. Nowachone niya, “Bi, abiro nyisi ngʼat ma imanyo.” Omiyo nodhi kode, kendo kanyo Sisera nonindo gi sigingi kopowo iye kosetho.
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 E odiechiengno Nyasaye nomako Jabin, ruodh Kanaan, e nyim jo-Israel.
On that day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites.
24 Chakre e kindeno Israel nobedo motegno mine giloyo Jabin ruodh Kanaan.
And the hand of the Israelites grew stronger and stronger against Jabin king of Canaan until they destroyed him.
