Judges 4
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; now Ehud was dead.
Ehudi atamwalira, Aisraeli anachitanso zinthu zoyipira Yehova.
2 And Jehovah sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; and the captain of his army was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth-Goim.
Choncho Yehova anawapereka mʼmanja mwa Yabini, mfumu ya ku Kanaani, imene inkalamulira ku Hazori. Mkulu wa ankhondo ake anali Sisera, amene ankakhala ku Haroseti-Hagoyimu.
3 And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he mightily oppressed the children of Israel twenty years.
Aisraeli analira kwa Yehova kuti awathandize, chifukwa Sisera anali ndi magaleta achitsulo 900 ndipo anazunza Aisraeli mwankhanza kwa zaka makumi awiri.
4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, judged Israel at that time.
Debora, mneneri wamkazi, mkazi wake wa Rapidoti ndiye ankatsogolera Israeli nthawi imeneyo.
5 And she dwelt under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Iye ankakhala pansi pa mtengo wa mgwalangwa wa Debora, pakati pa Rama ndi Beteli mʼdziko la ku mapiri la Efereimu, ndipo Aisraeli ankapita kwa iye kuti akaweruze milandu yawo.
6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-Naphtali, and said to him, Hath not Jehovah the God of Israel commanded? Go and draw towards mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun,
Debora uja anatuma munthu kuti akayitane Baraki mwana wa Abinoamu wa ku Kedesi mʼdziko la Nafutali ndipo anati kwa iye, “Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akukulamula iwe kuti, ‘Pita kasonkhanitse anthu ku phiri la Tabori. Ubwere nawo anthu 10,000 a fuko la Nafutali ndi a fuko la Zebuloni.
7 and I will draw unto thee, to the torrent Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, and his chariots and his multitude, and I will give him into thy hand.
Ine ndidzakokera Sisera mkulu wa ankhondo a Yabini pamodzi ndi magaleta ake ndi asilikali ake kwa inu ku mtsinje wa Kisoni ndipo ndidzamupereka mʼmanja mwanu.’”
8 And Barak said to her, If thou goest with me, then I will go, but if thou goest not with me, I will not go.
Baraki anamuyankha kuti, “Mukapita nane limodzi ine ndipita. Koma ngati sitipitira limodzi, inenso sindipita.”
9 And she said, I will by all means go with thee, only that it will not be to thine honour upon the way which thou goest, for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Debora anati, “Chabwino, ine ndipita nawe limodzi. Koma mudziwe kuti inu simudzalandirapo ulemu pa zimene mwachitazi popeza Yehova wapereka Sisera mʼmanja mwa munthu wamkazi.” Choncho Debora ananyamuka kupita ku Kedesi pamodzi ndi Baraki.
10 And Barak called together Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and there went up at his feet ten thousand men; and Deborah went up with him.
Baraki anayitana mafuko a Zebuloni ndi Nafutali kuti abwere ku Kedesi. Anthu 10,000 anamutsatira, ndipo Debora anapita naye pamodzi.
11 (Now Heber the Kenite had severed himself from the Kenites, from the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak of Zaannaim, which is by Kedesh.)
Nthawi imeneyo nʼkuti Mkeni wina dzina lake Heberi atalekana ndi Akeni anzake, zidzukulu za Hobabu, mlamu wa Mose, nakamanga tenti yake pafupi ndi mtengo wa thundu ku Zananimu pafupi ndi Kedesi.
12 And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to mount Tabor.
Pamene Sisera anamva kuti Baraki mwana wa Abinoamu wapita ku phiri la Tabori,
13 Then Sisera gathered together all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth-Goim to the torrent Kishon.
anasonkhanitsa magaleta ake achitsulo 900 ndi anthu onse amene anali naye ndipo anachoka ku Haroseti-Hagoyimu kupita ku mtsinje wa Kisoni.
14 And Deborah said to Barak, Up; for this is the day in which Jehovah hath given Sisera into thy hand! Is not Jehovah gone out before thee? And Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Debora anawuza Baraki kuti, “Dzukani! Paja ndi lero limene Yehova wapereka Sisera mʼmanja mwako. Kodi Yehova sanakhale akukutsogolerani?” Choncho Baraki anatsika phiri la Tabori, anthu 10,000 akumutsata.
15 And Jehovah discomfited Sisera, and all the chariots, and all the army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera got down from [his] chariot, and fled on foot.
Yehova anasokoneza Sisera ndi magaleta ake pamodzi ndi ankhondo ake onse. Baraki ndi anthu ake anawapirikitsa ndipo Sisera anatsika pa galeta yake nayamba kuthawa pansi.
16 And Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, to Harosheth-Goim; and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not one was left.
Baraki analondola magaletawo pamodzi ndi ankhondo onse mpaka ku Haroseti-Hagoyimu, ndipo ankhondo onse a Sisera anaphedwa ndi lupanga. Palibe munthu ndi mmodzi yemwe anatsala.
17 And Sisera fled on foot 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.
Komabe Sisera anathawa pansi mpaka anakafika ku tenti ya Yaeli mkazi wa Heberi Mkeni uja, chifukwa panali mtendere pakati pa Yabini mfumu ya Hazori ndi banja la Heberi, Mkeni uja.
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 the quilt.
Yaeli anatuluka kukachingamira Sisera ndipo anati, “Bwerani mbuye wanga, lowani momwemo musaope.” Choncho analowa mʼtenti muja, ndipo anamufunditsa chofunda.
19 And he said to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty. And she opened the flask of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
Anati, “Ndili ndi ludzu, chonde patseniko madzi pangʼono akumwa, ndili ndi ludzu.” Mkaziyo anatsekula thumba la chikopa mmene munali mkaka, namupatsa kuti amwe, ndipo anamufunditsanso.
20 And he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be if any one come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
Kenaka anawuza mkaziyo kuti, “Muyime pa khomo la tentili, ndipo munthu wina akabwera kudzakufunsani kuti, ‘Kodi kwafika munthu wina kuno?’ Inu muyankha kuti, ‘Ayi.’”
21 And Jael Heber's wife took a tent-pin, and took the hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and smote the pin into his temples, and it penetrated into the ground; for he had fallen into a deep sleep and was faint; and he died.
Koma Yaeli mkazi wa Heberi, anatenga chikhomo cha tenti ndi hamara ndi kupita mwakachetechete kwa Sisera uja. Tsono Sisera ali mtulo chifukwa chotopa, mkazi uja anamukhomera chikhomo chija mʼmutu mwake. Chinatulukira kwinaku mpaka kulowa mʼnthaka, ndipo anafa pomwepo.
22 And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael went out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And he went into her [tent], and behold, Sisera lay dead, and the pin was in his temples.
Baraki atafika akulondola Sisera, Yaeli anatuluka kukamuchingamira namuwuza kuti, “Lowani mudzaone munthu amene mukumufunafuna.” Tsono atalowa anangoona Sisera ali thapsa pansi wakufa ndi chikhomo chili mʼmutu mwake.
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
“Choncho pa tsiku limenelo Mulungu anagonjetsa Yabini mfumu ya Akanaani, pamaso pa Aisraeli.
24 And the hand of the children of Israel ever advanced, and prevailed against Jabin king of Canaan, until they had cut off Jabin king of Canaan.
Ndipo Aisraeli anapanikizabe Yabini, mfumu ya Akanaani, mpaka kumuwonongeratu.
