< Judges 4 >

1 And the sons of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, when Ehud was dead.
وَبَعْدَ مَوْتِ إِهُودَ عَادَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَرْتَكِبُونَ الشَّرَّ فِي عَيْنَيِ الرَّبِّ،١
2 And Jehovah sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan who reigned in Hazor, the captain of whose army was Sisera who dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
فَأَخْضَعَهُمُ الرَّبُّ لِيَابِينَ مَلِكِ كَنْعَانَ الْمُقِيمِ فِي حَاصُورَ. وَكَانَ سِيسَرَا رَئِيسُ جَيْشِهِ قَاطِناً فِي حَرُوشَةِ الأُمَمِ.٢
3 And the sons of Israel cried to Jehovah, for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he mightily oppressed the sons of Israel twenty years.
فَاسْتَغَاثَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالرَّبِّ، لأَنَّهُ كَانَ تَحْتَ إِمْرَةِ سِيسَرَا تِسْعُ مِئَةِ مَرْكَبَةٍ حَدِيدِيَّةٍ، وَقَدِ اشْتَدَّ فِي مُضَايَقَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً.٣
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
وَكَانَتْ دَبُورَةُ زَوْجَةُ لَفِيدُوتَ امْرَأَةً نَبِيَّةً وَقَاضِيَةً لإِسْرَائِيلَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ،٤
5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the sons of Israel came up to her for judgment.
وَكَانَتْ تَعْقِدُ مَجْلِسَ قَضَائِهَا تَحْتَ نَخْلَةِ دَبُورَةَ بَيْنَ الرَّامَةِ وَبَيْتِ إِيلَ. فَكَانَ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَفِدُونَ إِلَيْهَا لِلْقَضَاءِ.٥
6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Has not Jehovah, the God of Israel, commanded, saying, Go and approach to mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun?
فَأَرْسَلَتْ هَذِهِ وَاسْتَدْعَتْ بَارَاقَ بنَ أَبِينُوعَمَ مِنْ قَادَشِ نَفْتَالِي، وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «هَذَا هُوَ أَمْرُ الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَيْكَ: اذْهَبْ وَازْحَفْ إِلَى جَبَلِ تَابُورَ بَعْدَ أَنْ تُجَنِّدَ لَكَ عَشْرَةَ آلافِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ نَفْتَالِي وَزَبُولُونَ،٦
7 And I will draw Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, to thee, to the river Kishon, with his chariots and his multitude, and I will deliver him into thy hand.
فَأَجْتَذِبَ سِيسَرَا رَئِيسَ جَيْشِ يَابِينَ بِمَرْكَبَاتِهِ إِلَى نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ وَأُظْفِرَكَ بِهِ».٧
8 And Barak said to her, If thou will go with me, then I will go, but if thou will not go with me, I will not go.
فَقَالَ لَهَا بَارَاقُ: «إِنْ ذَهَبْتِ مَعِي أَذْهَبْ، وَإِنْ لَمْ تَذْهَبِي لا أَذْهَبْ».٨
9 And she said, I will surely go with thee. Notwithstanding, the journey that thou take shall not be for thine honor, for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
فَأَجَابَتْ: «أَذْهَبُ مَعَكَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يَكُونَ لَكَ فَخْرٌ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الَّتِي أَنْتَ مَاضٍ فِيهَا، لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يُسَلِّمُ سِيِسَرَا لاِمْرَأَةٍ». فَنَهَضَتْ دَبُورَةُ وَرَافَقَتْ بَارَاقَ إِلَى قَادَشَ.٩
10 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh. And there went up ten thousand men at his feet, and Deborah went up with him.
وَاسْتَدْعَى بَارَاقُ رِجَالَ زَبُولُونَ وَنَفْتَالِي إِلَى قَادَشَ، فَانْضَمَّ إِلَيْهِ عَشْرَةُ آلافِ رَجُلٍ. وَانْطَلَقَتْ دَبُورَةُ مَعَهُ أَيْضاً.١٠
11 Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the sons of Hobab the brother-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ كَانَ حَابِرُ الْقَيْنِيُّ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ حُوبَابَ حَمِي مُوسَى، قَدِ انْفَرَدَ عَنْ بَقِيَّةِ عَشِيرَةِ الْقَيْنِيِّينَ وَضَرَبَ خِيَامَهُ إِلَى جُوَارِ شَجَرَةِ بَلُّوطٍ فِي صَعَنَايِمَ الْقَرِيبَةِ مِنْ قَادَشَ.١١
12 And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
وَأَبْلَغُوا سِيسَرَا أَنَّ بَارَاقَ بْنَ أَبِينُوعَمَ قَدْ صَعِدَ إِلَى جَبَلِ تَابُورَ.١٢
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 Kishon.
فَحَشَدَ سِيسَرَا مَرْكَبَاتِهِ الْحَدِيدِيَّةَ التِّسْعَ مِئَةٍ، وَجَمِيعَ جَيْشِهِ الَّذِي مَعَهُ مِنْ حَرُوشَةِ الأُمَمِ حَتَّى نَهْرِ قِيشُونَ.١٣
14 And Deborah said to Barak, Up, for this is the day in which Jehovah has delivered Sisera into thy hand. Has not Jehovah gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
فَقَالَتْ دَبُورَةُ لِبَارَاقَ: «قُمْ، لأَنَّ هَذَا هُوَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي فِيهِ يُظْفِرُكَ الرَّبُّ بِسِيسَرَا. أَلَمْ يَتَقَدَّمْكَ الرَّبُّ؟» فَانْحَدَرَ بَارَاقُ مِنْ جَبَلِ تَابُورَ عَلَى رَأْسِ عَشْرَةِ آلافِ رَجُلٍ.١٤
15 And Jehovah discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak. And Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
فَأَرْعَبَ الرَّبُّ سِيسَرَا وَكُلَّ مَرْكَبَاتِهِ وَسَائِرَ جَيْشِهِ وَقَضَى عَلَيْهِمْ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ أَمَامَ بَارَاقَ. فَتَرَجَّلَ سِيسَرَا مِنْ مَرْكَبَتِهِ وَهَرَبَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ.١٥
16 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, to Harosheth of the Gentiles. And all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword. There was not a man left.
فَتَعَقَّبَ بَارَاقُ الْمَرْكَبَاتِ وَالْجَيْشَ إِلَى حَروُشَةِ الأُمَمِ، وَتَمَّ الْقَضَاءُ عَلَى كُلِّ جَيْشِ سِيسَرَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ فَلَمْ يَسْلَمْ مِنْهُمْ حَيٌّ.١٦
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.
وَأَمَّا سِيسَرَا فَهَرَبَ مَاشِياً إِلَى خَيْمَةِ يَاعِيلَ امْرَأَةِ حَابِرَ الْقَيْنِيِّ الَّذِي كَانَ قَدْ عَقَدَ اتِّفَاقَ صُلْحٍ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ يَابِينَ مَلِكِ حَاصُورَ.١٧
18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And he turned in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
فَخَرَجَتْ يَاعِيلُ لاِسْتِقْبَالِ سِيسَرَا قَائِلَةً: «تَعَالَ إِلَى خَيْمَتِي يَا سَيِّدِي وَلا تَخَفْ». فَمَالَ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهَا وَغَطَّتْهُ بِلِحَافٍ.١٨
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 drink, and covered him.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا: «اسْقِينِي قَلِيلاً مِنَ الْمَاءِ لأَنِّي قَدْ عَطِشْتُ». فَفَتَحَتْ زِقَّ اللَّبَنِ وَأَسْقَتْهُ ثُمَّ غَطَّتْهُ.١٩
20 And he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man comes and inquires of thee, and says, Is there any man here? that thou shall say, No.
وَقَالَ لَهَا: «قِفِي بِبَابِ الْخَيْمَةِ، حَتَّى إِذَا أَقْبَلَ أَحَدُهُمْ وَسَأَلَكِ: أَهُنَا أَحَدٌ؟ تَقُولِينَ: لا».٢٠
21 Then Jael Heber's wife took a tent-pin, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground, for he was in a deep sleep, so he fainted and died.
وَمَا لَبِثَ أَنْ غَطَّ فِي نَوْمٍ ثَقِيلٍ لِشِدَّةِ تَعَبِهِ. فَأَخَذَتْ يَاعِيلُ امْرَأَةُ حَابِرَ وَتَدَ الْخَيْمَةِ وَمِطْرَقَةً، وَتَسَلَّلَتْ إِلَيْهِ وَدَقَّتِ الْوَتَدَ فِي صُدْغِهِ فَنَفَذَ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَمَاتَ.٢١
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 seek. And he came to her, and, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent-pin was in his temples.
وَإذَا بِبَارَاقَ يُطَارِدُ سِيسَرَا، فَخَرَجَتْ يَاعِيلُ لاِسْتِقْبَالِهِ وَقَالَتْ لَهُ: «تَعَالَ لأُرِيَكَ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي تَبْحَثُ عَنْهُ». فَدَخَلَ إِلَى خَيْمَتِهَا، وَإذَا بِسِيسَرَا طَرِيحٌ مَيْتاً وَالْوَتَدُ نَافِذٌ فِي صُدْغِهِ.٢٢
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the sons of Israel.
فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَخْضَعَ الرَّبُّ يَابِينَ مَلِكَ كَنْعَانَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ،٢٣
24 And the hand of the sons of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
وَاشْتَدَّتْ وَطْأَةُ سَطْوَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهِ وَازْدَادَتْ قُوَّةً حَتَّى تَمَّتْ إِبَادَتُهُ كُلِّيًّا.٢٤
