Judges 4
1 After Ehud died, the Israelites again did evil in the sight of the LORD.
A, ka mate a Ehuru, ka mahi kino ano nga tamariki a Iharaira i te tirohanga a Ihowa.
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.
Na ka hokona atu ratou e Ihowa ki te ringa o Iapini kingi o Kanaana, ko te kingi hoki ia o Hatoro, ko Hihera hoki te rangatira o tana ope; i Harohete ano hoki o nga tauiwi tona nohoanga.
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.
Na ka tangi nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Ihowa: e iwa rau nei hoki ana hariata rino, a e rua tekau nga tau i tukinotia rawatia ai e ia nga tamariki a Iharaira.
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.
A ko Tepora poropiti, wahine a Rapiroto, ko ia te kaiwhakarite o Iharaira i taua wa.
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.
A ko tona nohoanga kei raro i te nikau a Tepora i te takiwa o Rama, o Peteere, i te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima: na ka haere nga tamariki a Iharaira ki runga, ki a ia kia whakawakia.
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.
Na ka tono tangata ia hei karanga i a Paraka tama a Apionoama i Kerehe Napatari, a ka mea ki a ia, Kihai ianei a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira i whakahau, Haere whakatata atu ki Maunga Taporo, mauria hoki hei hoa mou kia tekau mano tangata o nga tama riki a Napatari, o nga tamariki hoki a Hepurona?
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.’”
A maku e kukume atu ki a koe ki te awa, ki Kihona a Hihera rangatira o te ope a Iapini, me ana hariata, me ona mano; ka hoatu ano hoki e ahau ki tou ringa.
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.”
Na ka mea a Paraka ki a ia, Ki te haere tahi koe i ahau, ka haere ahau; ki te kahore ia koe e haere tahi i ahau, e kore ahau e haere.
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,
A ka mea ia, Ae ra, me haere tahi taua: otiia e kore koe e whai kororia i te ara ka haere nei koe; ta te mea ka hokona atu e Ihowa a Hihera ki roto ki te ringa o te wahine. Na ka whakatika a Tepora, a haere tahi ana me Paraka ki Kerehe.
10 where he summoned Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah also went with him.
Katahi ka karangarangatia a Hepurona raua ko Napatari e Paraka ki Kerehe; a kotahi tekau mano nga tangata i haere i raro i ona waewae: i haere tahi ano hoki a Tepora i a ia.
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.
Na kua wehe atu a Hepere te Keni i roto i nga Keni, i nga tamariki ano a Hopapa hungawai o Mohi; a tae noa atu tana whakaturanga teneti ki te oki i Taanaimi, ki tera i Kerehe.
12 When Sisera was told that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up Mount Tabor,
A ka korerotia e ratou ki a Hihera, kua riro a Paraka tama a Apioama ki runga ki Maunga Taporo;
13 he summoned all nine hundred of his iron chariots and all the men with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the River Kishon.
Ka karangarangatia e Hihera ana hariata katoa, e iwa rau, he hariata rino, me tona nuinga katoa, i Harohete o nga tauiwi ki te awa, ki Kihona.
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.
Ka mea hoki a Tepora ki a Paraka, Whakatika, ko te ra hoki tenei e tukua ai e Ihowa a Hihera ki tou ringa; kahore ianei a Ihowa i haere atu i mua i a koe? Na ko te haerenga iho o Paraka i runga i Maunga Taporo, kotahi tekau mano hoki nga tangata ki te whai i a ia.
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.
A meinga ana e Ihowa a Hihera kia whati, me ana hariata katoa, me tana ope katoa, i te mata o te hoari i te aroaro o Paraka. Na ka marere iho a Hihera i runga i tana hariata, a rere a waewae ana.
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.
Na ka whaia nga hariata me te ope e Paraka a tae noa ki Harohete o nga tauiwi: a hinga ana te ope katoa a Hihera i te mata o te hoari; kihai hoki tetahi i toe.
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.
Ko Hihera ia rere a waewae ana ki te teneti o Taere wahine a Hepere Keni: he rongo mau hoki ta Iapini kingi o Hatoro ratou ko te whare o Hepere, o te 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.
Na ka puta a Taere ki te whakatau i a Hihera, ka mea ki a ia, Peka mai, e toku ariki, peka mai ki ahau; kaua e wehi. Katahi ia ka peka atu ki a ia ki te teneti, a ka hipokina e ia ki te koroka.
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.
Ka mea atu ia ki te wahine, Homai koa he wai inu moku, kia iti nei; e matewai ana hoki ahau. Katahi ka wetekina e ia te koki waiu, a whakainumia ana ia, hipokina atu ana hoki.
20 “Stand at the entrance to the tent,” he said, “and if anyone comes and asks you, ‘Is there a man here?’ say, ‘No.’”
Na ka mea tera ki a ia, E tu ki te kuwaha o te teneti, a ki te haere mai he tangata ki te ui ki a koe, ki te mea, He tangata ranei kei konei? ka mea atu koe, Kahore.
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.
Katahi ka tikina e Taere wahine a Hepere tetahi titi o te teneti, a ka mau tona ringa ki te hama, na ka haere toropuku atu ki a ia, heoi patua iho e ia te titi ki tona rahirahinga, a ngoto tonu atu ki te whenua: i parangia hoki ia e te moe, i ng enge. Na, ko tona hemonga, kua mate.
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.
Na ko te whainga a Paraka i a Hihera; a ka puta atu a Taere ki te whakatau i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Haere mai, a maku e whakaatu ki a koe tau tangata e rapu na. A, i tona haerenga atu ki a ia, na ko Hihera e takoto ana, kua mate, me te titi i ton a rahirahinga.
23 On that day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites.
Heoi hinga ana a Iapini kingi o Kanaana i te Atua i taua ra i te aroaro o nga tamariki a Iharaira.
24 And the hand of the Israelites grew stronger and stronger against Jabin king of Canaan until they destroyed him.
Na ka kaha haere tonu te ringa o nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Iapini kingi o Kanaana, a whakangaromia noatia e ratou a Iapini kingi o Kanaana.
