Judges 4
1 After Ehud died, the Israelites again did evil in the sight of the LORD.
Sima na kufa ya Ewudi, bana ya Isalaele basalaki lisusu makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe.
2 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.
Yawe akabaki bango lisusu na maboko ya Yabini, mokonzi ya Kanana, oyo azalaki kovanda na Atsori. Sisera, mokonzi ya mampinga na ye ya basoda, azalaki kovanda na Arosheti-Goyimi.
3 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.
Yabini azalaki na bashar nkama libwa ya bibende, mpe anyokolaki makasi bana ya Isalaele mibu tuku mibale. Bongo bana ya Isalaele bagangaki epai na Yawe mpo na kosenga lisungi.
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.
Na tango wana, Debora, mwasi mosakoli, mwasi ya engumba Lapidoti, azalaki kokamba Isalaele.
5 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.
Azalaki kosambisa na se ya nzete ya mbila ya Debora, oyo ezalaki na kati ya Rama mpe Beteli, kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi. Bana ya Isalaele bazalaki koya epai na ye mpo na kosambisama.
6 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.
Mokolo moko, abengisaki Baraki, mwana mobali ya Abinoami, moto ya Kedeshi ya Nefitali, mpe alobaki na ye: — Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apesi yo mitindo: « Kende, kamata elongo na yo bato nkoto zomi ya mabota ya Nefitali mpe ya Zabuloni, mpe mema bango na nzela oyo ekenda na ngomba Tabori.
7 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.’”
Nakomema Sisera, mokonzi ya basoda ya Yabini, na mayi moke ya Kishoni elongo na bashar mpe basoda na ye, mpe nakokaba ye na maboko na yo. »
8 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.”
Baraki azongiselaki Debora: — Soki okokende elongo na ngai, wana nakokende; kasi soki okokende na ngai te, wana ngai mpe nakokende te.
9 “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,
Debora alobaki na ye: — Malamu, nakokende elongo na yo. Kasi yeba ete, na nzela oyo ozali kokende, lokumu ekozala ya yo te, pamba te Yawe akokaba Sisera na maboko ya mwasi. Boye, Debora akendeki elongo na Baraki, na mboka Kedeshi.
10 where he summoned Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah also went with him.
Kuna na Kedeshi, Baraki abengisaki bato ya mabota ya Zabuloni mpe ya Nefitali. Bato nkoto zomi balandaki ye, mpe Debora akendeki elongo na ye.
11 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.
Kaka na mokolo wana, Eberi, moto ya Keni, akabwanaki na bato mosusu ya Keni, bakitani ya Obabi, semeki ya Moyize. Mpe Eberi akendeki kino na terebente oyo ezali na Tsananimi, pembeni ya Kedeshi, mpo na kotelemisa ndako na ye ya kapo.
12 When Sisera was told that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up Mount Tabor,
Tango bayebisaki Sisera ete Baraki, mwana mobali ya Abinoami, amataki na likolo ya ngomba Tabori,
13 he summoned all nine hundred of his iron chariots and all the men with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the River Kishon.
Sisera abengisaki, longwa na Arosheti-Goyimi, bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na ye elongo, mpe asangisaki bashar nkama libwa ya bibende. Amemaki bango na mayi moke ya Kishoni.
14 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.
Debora alobaki na Baraki: « Kende! Ezali lelo nde mokolo oyo Yawe akokaba Sisera na maboko na yo. » Baraki akitaki na ngomba Tabori, mpe bato nkoto zomi balandaki ye.
15 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.
Wana Baraki azalaki kokende, Yawe apanzaki, na nzela ya mopanga na Ye, Sisera, bashar na ye nyonso mpe mampinga na ye ya basoda. Sisera asundolaki shar na ye mpe akimaki na makolo.
16 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.
Kasi Baraki alandaki bashar mpe mampinga kino na Arosheti-Goyimi. Mampinga nyonso ya basoda ya Sisera ekufaki na mopanga, ata moto moko te abikaki.
17 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.
Nzokande, Sisera akimaki na makolo kino na ndako ya kapo ya Yaeli, mwasi ya Eberi, moto ya Keni; pamba te boyokani ya malamu ezalaki kati na Yabini, mokonzi ya Atsori, mpe libota ya Eberi, moto ya Keni.
18 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.
Yaeli abimaki mpo na kokutana na Sisera mpe alobaki na ye: — Yaka, nkolo na ngai; kimela epai na ngai, kobanga te. Sisera akotaki na ndako ya kapo ya Yaeli, mpe Yaeli azipaki ye bulangeti.
19 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.
Sisera alobaki na Yaeli: — Nabondeli yo, pesa ngai mayi mpo ete namela; nazali na posa ya mayi. Yaeli afungolaki mbeki etonda na miliki ya mayi, mpe amelisaki ye yango. Sima, azipaki ye lisusu bulangeti.
20 “Stand at the entrance to the tent,” he said, “and if anyone comes and asks you, ‘Is there a man here?’ say, ‘No.’”
Sisera alobaki na Yaeli: — Telema na ekuke ya ndako ya kapo. Soki moto ayei kotuna yo: « Moto azali awa? » Zongisa: « Te! »
21 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.
Kasi wana Sisera alalaki pongi makasi mpo ete alembaki, Yaeli, mwasi ya Eberi, akamataki pike ya ndako ya kapo mpe azwaki marto; akotaki malembe pembeni na ye, abetaki ye pike na litoyi, mpe pike yango etobolaki moto na ye kino ekotaki na mabele; mpe Sisera akufaki.
22 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.
Wana Baraki azalaki nanu kolanda Sisera, Yaeli abimaki mpo na kokutana na ye. Alobaki na Baraki: « Yaka, nakolakisa yo moto oyo ozali koluka. » Baraki akotaki na ndako ya kapo ya Yaeli mpe amonaki Sisera ya kokufa, alala na mabele, mpe pike kati na litoyi na ye.
23 On that day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites.
Mokolo wana, Nzambe akitisaki liboso ya bana ya Isalaele, Yabini, mokonzi ya Kanana.
24 And the hand of the Israelites grew stronger and stronger against Jabin king of Canaan until they destroyed him.
Bana ya Isalaele bakomaki makasi koleka Yabini, mokonzi ya Kanana, kino babomaki ye.
