< Judges 4 >

1 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, when Ehud was dead.
Ehud thinung in, Israelten Pakai mitmun thilse jeng abolkit tauvin.
2 The LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin Canaan mi Hajor lengpa Jabin khut’ah amaho chu apelut in, ama sepai lamkai chu Haresheth-haggoyim mi Sisera ahi.
3 The children of Israel cried to the LORD, for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he mightily oppressed the children of Israel for twenty years.
Siserah in thih sakol kangtalai jako aneiyin, kum somni sunga Israelte ana sugenthei lheh jeng in, hijeh chun Israelten Pakai koma panpi ngaiyin anakap tauvin ahi.
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, judged Israel at that time.
Hiche phatlai sunga chu Lappidoth jinu Deborah hi themgao ahin chule Israelte chunga thu anatana vai anahom ahi.
5 She lived under Deborah’s palm tree between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Themgaonu chu Ephraim thinglhang gam Ramah le Bethel kikah a tumphung lim noiya ana touji ahin, hiche muna chun Israelte anache jiuvin, amanu in achungthu anatan pehjiu ahi.
6 She sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh Naphtali, and said to him, “Has not the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded, ‘Go and lead the way to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
Nikhat Deborah chun, Naphtali gama Kadesh khopia cheng Abinoam chapa Barak aga kousah in, ama koma chun hitin anaseiyin, “Hiche hi Israel Pathen in nathupeh ahi, nangman Naphtali leh Zebulun phunga kon in galsat mi sangsom Tabor molchunga hinkou khom in,
7 I will draw to you, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into your hand.’”
Chutengleh keiman Jabin kiti lamkaipa le athih sakol kangtalai ho, chule agalmite chengse khu Kishon vadunga kakoudoh ding; chuteng amaho chunga galjona nangma kapeh ding ahi,” ati.
8 Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go.”
Barak in jong adonbut’in “Nangman neikilhonpi dingleh che nange,” ati.
9 She said, “I will surely go with you. Nevertheless, the journey that you take will not be for your honor; for the LORD will sell Sisera into a woman’s hand.” Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Hichun Deborah in adonbut in, “Aphalheh jenge keiman kalhonpi ding nahi, ahinlah tuchung kalsonna a hi nangin minphatna namu louding ahi, ajeh chu Sisera chunga Pakaiyin galjona eipeh diu hi numei khutna kona bou hiding ahi”, ati. Hiti chun Deborah in Barak chu Kadesh geiyin ahin kilhon lutpi tai.
10 Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh. Ten thousand men followed him; and Deborah went up with him.
Kadesh a chun, Barak in Zebulun leh Naphtali phunga kon in galsat mi sangsom akou khom in amahon ahin juiyun, Deborah injong akilhonpin ahi.
11 Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab, Moses’ brother-in-law, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
Hikoma chun Mose nupapa Hobab chilhah holah a Ken mi Heber chun ama phung lah a konin apotdoh in, achombeh in Kadesh kom Zaanannim gangpi phung koma chun aponbuh ana songin ahi.
12 They told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.
Sisera jah a chu Abinoam chapa Barak chu Tabor mol chunga akaltoutai, tia aseiphat uvin,
13 Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles, to the river Kishon.
Aman thih sakol kangtalai jako leh a-sepai jouse akoudoh in Harosheth-haggoyim ana kon in Kishon vadung geiya ahung tou un ahi.
14 Deborah said to Barak, “Go; for this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Hichun Deborah in Barak koma aseiyin, “Kigosadem’in um'in tunia hi Pakaiyin Sisera chunga galjona napeh ding ahi, ajeh chu Pakai hi namasanga akalsong tan ahi,” ati. Hiti chun Barak in galsat ding mi sangsom chu alamkaiyin Tabor mola konchun akum suh tauvin galmun chu ajonlut tauve.
15 The LORD confused Sisera, all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak. Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled away on his feet.
Barak’in ahin nokhum phat chun Pakaiyin Sisera leh asakol kangtalai jouse leh agalsat ding jouse chu asuh nohphah pehtan, Sisera chu asakol kangtalai akon in aki chomlhan akengin ajamdoh tan ahi.
16 But Barak pursued the chariots and 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.
Hichun Barak in sakol kangtalai holeh agalmiho chu Harosheth-haggoyim changei chun adel lut in, Sisera galmi jouse chu athatgam soh hel'in khatcha ahing hoi tapon ahi.
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.
Hiche kahlah chun Sisera chu Ken mi Heber jinu Ja’el ponbuh a anajam lut’in ahi, ajeh chu Heber insung mite leh Hazor lengpa Jabin chu jolle gol hina a ana kihou thei ahiuve.
18 Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, “Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; do not be afraid.” He came in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
Jael chu apotdoh in Sisera chu akimu pin akoma hitin anaseiye, “Kaponbuh sunga hunglut’in, kapu kichalou hel'in hung lut in ati. Hiti chun aponbuh sunga ana lut’in aman ponsil ponkhat in ana khu khum’in ahi.
19 He said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty.” She opened a container of milk, and gave him a drink, and covered him.
Hichun Sisera in Jael hengah chun, “Twidon ding themkhat neihinpen kadang achah behseh e,” ati. Hiti chun amanun savun peng sunga bongnoi themkhat chu anapen pon chu akhu khum kit in ahi.
20 He said to her, “Stand in the door of the tent, and if any man comes and inquires of you, and says, ‘Is there any man here?’ you shall say, ‘No.’”
Hichun Sisera’n amanu koma chun, “Ponbuh kot phung koma chun ding inlang koitobang hamkhat ahunga na-in sung’a mi khattou um am tia ahung holleh aumpoi tin,” ati.
21 Then Jael, Heber’s wife, took a tent peg, 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.
Ahinlah Sisera chu athachol behseh jeh a a-imut mil hel phat chun Jael chun, thih hemkhat akhutna achoijin ama koma chun guhthim chan alut in hichun ponbuh thih hemchu achalpanga akhen lut in toltoh akhen mat jengin ahileh ama athitan ahi.
22 Behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek.” He came to her; and behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent peg was in his temples.
Barak chu Sisera hola ahung chun Jael chu apotdoh in akimupin hitin aseiye, “Hungin namihol chu keiman navetsah inge” ati. Hiti chun aman ponbuh sunga chun ajuilut in ahileh, Sisera chu achalpanga ponbuh thih kikhenlutna athisa alupchu agamu in ahi.
23 So God subdued Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel on that day.
Hiche nikho chun Canaan lengpa Jabin chu Pakaiyin ajopeh tauve ti Israel ten amuchen tauvin ahi.
24 The hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
Hiche nikhoa pat chun Israelte chu Jabin lengpa dounan ahung hatdoh un ajonan asumang hel tauvin ahi.
