< Judges 4 >
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord after the death of Aod,
Lè Eyoud mouri, moun pèp Izrayèl yo rekonmanse ankò ap fè bagay ki te mal nan je Seyè a.
2 And the Lord delivered them up into the hands of Jaban king of Chanaan, who reigned in Asor: and he had a general of his army named Sisara, and he dwelt in Haroseth of the Gentiles.
Lè sa a, Seyè a te kite Jaben, wa peyi Kanaran an, mete pye sou kou yo. Jaben sa a t'ap gouvènen nan lavil Azò. Chèf ki t'ap kòmande lame Jaben an te rele Sisera. Li menm, li te rete lavil Awochèt-Goyim.
3 And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots set with scythes, and for twenty years had grievously oppressed them.
Li te gen nèfsan (900) cha lagè fèt an fè. Pandan ventan li t'ap maltrete moun pèp Izrayèl yo, li t'ap malmennen yo. Lè sa a, pèp Izrayèl la pran rele nan pye Seyè a.
4 And there was at that time Debbora a prophetess the wife of Lapidoth, who judged the people,
Debora, madanm yon nonm yo te rele Lapidòt, te pwofèt Bondye. Nan tan sa a, se li ki te konn rann jijman sou tout bagay nan peyi Izrayèl la.
5 And she sat under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Rama and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for all judgment.
Nan mòn peyi Efrayim yo, ant lavil Rama ak lavil Betèl, te gen yon pye palmis yo te rele Palmis Debora. Se la anba pye palmis sa a li te konn chita, lèfini moun nan pèp la te konn vin kote l' pou l' te regle tout bagay pou yo.
6 And she sent and called Barac the son of Abinoem out of Cedes in Nephtali: and she said to him: The Lord God of Israel hath commanded thee: Go, and lead an army to mount Thabor, and thou shalt take with thee ten thousand fighting men of the children of Nephtali, and of the children of Zabulon:
Li voye chache Barak, pitit gason Abinoram, moun lavil Kadès nan peyi moun Neftali yo. Li di l' konsa: -Men lòd Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye ba ou: Ale! Mennen sòlda ou yo sou mòn Tabò. Nan branch fanmi Neftali a ak nan branch fanmi Zabilon an, pran dimil (10.000) gason avè ou.
7 And I will bring unto thee in the place of the torrent Cison, Sisara the general of Jabin’s army, and his chariots, and all his multitude, and will deliver them into thy hand.
M'a pral fè Sisera, kòmandan an chèf lame wa Jaben an, vin goumen avè ou bò larivyè Kichon an. L'ap vini avèk cha lagè l' yo ansanm ak tout sòlda li yo. Men, m'ap lagè l' nan men ou.
8 And Barac said to her: If thou wilt come with me, I will go: if thou wilt not come with me, I will not go.
Barak di Debora: -Si ou prale avè m', m'a prale. Men si ou pa prale avè m', mwen pa prale.
9 She said to him: I will go indeed with thee, but at this time the victory shall not be attributed to thee, because Sisara shall be delivered into the hand of a woman. Debbora therefore arose, and went with Barac to Cedes.
Debora reponn: -Bon. Dakò! M' prale avè ou. Men, yo p'ap janm di se ou ki te bat Sisera, paske se yon fanm Seyè a ap fè touye l'. Epi Debora leve, l' ale lavil Kadès ansanm ak Barak.
10 And he called unto him Zabulon and Nepbtali, and went up with ten thousand fighting men, having Debbora in his company.
Barak rele moun nan branch fanmi Zabilon yo ak moun nan branch fanmi Neftali yo vin Kadès. Se konsa dimil (10.000) gason ale avè l'. Debora ale avè l' tou.
11 Now Haber the Cinite had some time before departed from the rest of the Cinites his brethren the sons of Hobab, the kinsman of Moses: and had pitched his tents unto the valley which is called Sellnim, and was near Cedes.
Lè sa a te gen yon nonm nan fanmi Kayen an yo te rele Ebè ki te moute kay li toupre lavil Kadès, bò pye chenn nan fon Zaranayim lan. Li te wete kò l' nan mitan lòt moun fanmi Kayen yo, desandan Obab, bòpè Moyiz la.
12 And it was told Sisara, that Barac the son of Ablinoem was gone up to mount Thabor:
Y' al di Sisera men Barak, pitit gason Abinoram lan, te pran chemen moute mòn Tabò.
13 And he gathered together his nine hundred chariots armed with scythes, and all his army from Haroseth of the Gentiles to the torrent Cison.
Sisera fè chache nèfsan (900) cha lagè an fè l' yo ak tout sòlda li yo, li fè yo kite Awochèt-Goyim desann ravin Kichon.
14 And Debbora said to Barac: Arise, for this is the day wherein the Lord hath delivered Sisara into thy hands: behold he is thy leader. And Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand fighting men with him.
Debora di Barak konsa: -Annou wè! Jòdi a, se jou Seyè a pral lage Sisera nan men ou. Se Seyè a k'ap mache devan ou. Se konsa, Barak desann soti sou mòn Tabò a avèk dimil (10.000) sòlda dèyè l'.
15 And the Lord struck a terror into Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his multitude, with the edge of the sword, at the sight of Barac, insomuch that Sisara leaping down from off his chariot, fled away on foot.
Lè Barak parèt avèk lame l' la, Seyè a lage yon sèl kè kase sou Sisera ak tout moun sou cha lagè l' yo ansanm ak tout lame l' la. Sisera desann sot sou cha li a, li met deyò, li di pye sa m' manje m' pa ba ou!
16 And Barac pursued after the fleeing chariots and the army unto Haroseth of the Gentiles, and all the multitude of the enemies was utterly destroyed.
Barak menm pran kouri dèyè cha yo ak lame a jouk Awochèt-Goyim. Yo touye tout sòlda Sisera yo nèt. Yo pa kite yonn chape.
17 But Sisara fleeing came to the tent of Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Asor, and the house of Haber the Cinite.
Sisera kouri sou de pye l' bò tant Jayèl, madanm Ebè, moun branch fanmi Kayen yo, paske Jaben, wa Azò a, ak moun fanmi Ebè yo te byen yonn ak lòt.
18 And Jahel went forth to meet Sisara, and said to him: Come in to me, my lord, come in, fear not. He went in to her tent, and being covered by her with a cloak,
Jayèl soti al kontre Sisera, epi li di l' konsa: -Vini non, chèf mwen! Vin kache lakay mwen non! Ou pa bezwen pè anyen. Se konsa Sisera antre lakay Jayèl ki kache msye anba yon gwo dra.
19 Said to her: Give me, I beseech thee, a little water, for I am very thirsty. She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him.
Sisera di l' konsa: -Tanpri, ban m' ti gout dlo. Swaf ap touye m'! Jayèl louvri yon veso lèt fèt an po, li ba l' ti gout lèt bwè, epi li kache l' anba gwo dra a ankò.
20 And Sisara said to her: Stand before the door of the tent, and when any shall come and inquire of thee, saying: Is there any man here? thou shalt say: There is none.
Sisera di l' ankò: -Rete kanpe devan papòt tant lan. Nenpòt moun ki ta vin mande ou si gen yon moun nan kay la w'a reponn li: Non. Pa gen pesonn.
21 So Jahel Haber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and taking also a hammer: and going in softly, and with silence, she put the nail upon the temples of his head, and striking it With the hammer, drove it through his brain fast into the ground: and so passing from deep sleep to death, he fainted away and died.
Sisera te sitèlman bouke, dòmi pote l' ale. Lè sa a, Jayèl, madanm Ebè, pran yonn nan pikèt tant yo ak yon mato, li pwoche tou dousman bò kote Sisera, epi li foure pikèt la nan tanp msye, li fè l' travèse tèt Sisera pak an pak, jouk li antre nan tè. Epi Sisera mouri.
22 And behold Barac came pursuing after Sisara: and Jahel went out to meet him, and said to him: Come, and I will shew thee, the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, be saw Sisara lying dead, and the nail fastened in his temples.
Lè Barak rive bò kay la ap chache Sisera, Jayèl soti vin kontre l', epi li di l': -Vini non! M'a fè ou wè moun w'ap chache a! Se konsa Barak antre avè l' anba tant li a, li wè Sisera kouche atè a tou mouri avèk pikèt la plante nan tanp li.
23 So God that day humbled Jabin the king of Chanaan before the children of Israel:
Jou sa a, Bondye te fè Jaben, wa peyi Kanaran an, bese tèt devan pèp Izrayèl la.
24 Who grew daily stronger, and with a mighty hand overpowered Jabin king of Chanaan, till they quite destroyed him.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran maltrete Jaben, wa peyi Kanaran an, jouk yo touye l'.
