Jongʼad Bura 4
1 Bangʼ ka Ehud nosetho, jo-Israel nochako otimo tim mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye.
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord after the death of Aod,
2 Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nousogi ne Jabin, ruodh Kanaan, ma loch mare neni Hazor. Jatend jolweny mage ne en Sisera, manodak Harosheth Hagoyim.
And the Lord delivered them up into the hands of Jaban king of Chanaan, who reigned in Asor: and he had a general of his army named Sisara, and he dwelt in Haroseth of the Gentiles.
3 Nikech ne en-gi geche chuma mia ochiko kendo notiyo jo-Israel gachuna kuom higni piero ariyo, ne giywakne Jehova Nyasaye mondo oresgi.
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots set with scythes, and for twenty years had grievously oppressed them.
4 Debora, janabi madhako, ma chi Lapidoth, notelo ne jo-Israel e kindeno.
And there was at that time Debbora a prophetess the wife of Lapidoth, who judged the people,
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 sat under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Rama and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for all 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.
And she sent and called Barac the son of Abinoem out of Cedes in Nephtali: and she said to him: The Lord God of Israel hath commanded thee: Go, and lead an army to mount Thabor, and thou shalt take with thee ten thousand fighting men of the children of Nephtali, and of the children of Zabulon:
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 bring unto thee in the place of the torrent Cison, Sisara the general of Jabin’s army, and his chariots, and all his multitude, and will deliver them into thy hand.
8 Barak nowachone niya, “Ka idhi koda, abiro dhi; to ka ok idhi koda, to ok abi dhi.”
And Barac said to her: If thou wilt come with me, I will go: if thou wilt not come 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,
She said to him: I will go indeed with thee, but at this time the victory shall not be attributed to thee, because Sisara shall be delivered into the hand of a woman. Debbora therefore arose, and went with Barac to Cedes.
10 kama noluonge Zebulun kod Naftali. Ji alufu apar noluwo bangʼe, kendo Debora bende nodhi kode.
And he called unto him Zabulon and Nepbtali, and went up with ten thousand fighting men, having Debbora in his company.
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 Haber the Cinite had some time before departed from the rest of the Cinites his brethren the sons of Hobab, the kinsman of Moses: and had pitched his tents unto the valley which is called Sellnim, and was near Cedes.
12 Kane ginyiso Sisera ni Barak wuod Abinoam nosedhi Got Tabor,
And it was told Sisara, that Barac the son of Ablinoem was gone up to mount Thabor:
13 Sisera nochoko kanyakla gechene mag chuma mia ochiko kod chwo duto kode, koa Harosheth Hagoyim nyaka e Aora Kishon.
And he gathered together his nine hundred chariots armed with scythes, and all his army from Haroseth of the Gentiles to the torrent Cison.
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.
And Debbora said to Barac: Arise, for this is the day wherein the Lord hath delivered Sisara into thy hands: behold he is thy leader. And Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand fighting men with 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 the Lord struck a terror into Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his multitude, with the edge of the sword, at the sight of Barac, insomuch that Sisara leaping down from off his chariot, fled away 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.
And Barac pursued after the fleeing chariots and the army unto Haroseth of the Gentiles, and all the multitude of the enemies was utterly destroyed.
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.
But Sisara fleeing came to the tent of Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Asor, and the house of Haber the Cinite.
18 Jael nowuok mondo orom gi Sisera kendo owachone niya, “Bi, ruodha, donji. Kik iluor.” Omiyo nodonjo ei hembe, kendo noume.
And Jahel went forth to meet Sisara, and said to him: Come in to me, my lord, come in, fear not. He went in to her tent, and being covered by her with a cloak,
19 Nowacho niya, “Awinjo riyo. Kiyie to miya pi amodhi.” Noyawo chupa mar chak, momiye omadho, bangʼe oume kendo.
Said to her: Give me, I beseech thee, a little water, for I am very thirsty. She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him.
20 Nowachone niya, “Chungʼ e dhood hema. Ka ngʼato obiro kendo openji ni, ‘Bende ngʼato nitiere ka?’ To wachne ni, ‘Ooyo.’”
And Sisara said to her: Stand before the door of the tent, and when any shall come and inquire of thee, saying: Is there any man here? thou shalt say: There is none.
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.
So Jahel Haber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and taking also a hammer: and going in softly, and with silence, she put the nail upon the temples of his head, and striking it With the hammer, drove it through his brain fast into the ground: and so passing from deep sleep to death, he fainted away and 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.
And behold Barac came pursuing after Sisara: and Jahel went out to meet him, and said to him: Come, and I will shew thee, the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, be saw Sisara lying dead, and the nail fastened in his temples.
23 E odiechiengno Nyasaye nomako Jabin, ruodh Kanaan, e nyim jo-Israel.
So God that day humbled Jabin the king of Chanaan before the children of Israel:
24 Chakre e kindeno Israel nobedo motegno mine giloyo Jabin ruodh Kanaan.
Who grew daily stronger, and with a mighty hand overpowered Jabin king of Chanaan, till they quite destroyed him.
