Judges 4
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord after the death of Aod,
Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah indray, rehefa maty Ehoda.
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.
Ary Jehovah nivarotra azy ho eo an-tànan’ i Jabina, mpanjakan’ i Kanana, izay nanjaka tany Hazora, ary Sisera, izay nonina tany Harosetan’ ny Jentilisa, no komandin’ ny miaramilany.
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.
Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah ny Zanak’ Isiraely; fa nanana kalesy vy sivin-jato Jabina, ary nampahory fatratra ny Zanak’ Isiraely roa-polo taona izy.
4 And there was at that time Debbora a prophetess the wife of Lapidoth, who judged the people,
Ary Debora mpaminanivavy, vadin’ i Lapidota, no nitsara ny Isiraely tamin’ izany andro izany.
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.
Ary izy nipetraka teo ambanin’ ny hazo rofian’ i Debora, teo anelanelan’ i Rama sy Betela, tany amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima; ary niakatra ho any aminy ny Zanak’ Isiraely hatsaraina.
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:
Ary Debora naniraka ka niantso an’ i Baraka, zanak’ i Abinoama, tany Kadesi-naftaly, ka nanao taminy hoe: Moa tsy efa nandidy va Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, nanao hoe: Mandehana, ka mankanesa any an-tendrombohitra Tabara, ary mitondrà iray alin-dahy amin’ ny taranak’ i Naftaly sy Zebolona hiaraka aminao?
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.
Dia ho entiko ho eo aminao, eo amoron’ ny ony Kisona, Sisera, komandin’ ny miaramilan’ i Jabina, mbamin’ ny kalesiny sy ny vahoakany maro be; dia hanolotra azy eo an-tananao Aho.
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.
Ary hoy Baraka taminy: Raha handeha hiaraka amiko ianao, dia handeha aho; fa raha tsy handeha hiaraka amiko kosa ianao, dia tsy handeha aho.
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.
Ary hoy kosa izy: handeha hiaraka aminao ihany aho; kanefa tsy ho voninahitrao izao halehanao izao, satria ho eo an-tanam-behivavy no hivarotan’ i Jehovah an’ i Sisera. Dia niainga Debora ka nandeha niaraka tamin’ i Baraka hankany Kadesy
10 And he called unto him Zabulon and Nepbtali, and went up with ten thousand fighting men, having Debbora in his company.
Ary nantsoin’ i Baraka ho any Kadesy ny Zebolona sy ny Naftaly; dia nisy iray alin-dahy niakatra nanaraka azy; ary Debora niara-niakatra taminy.
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.
Ary Hebera Kenita efa nisaraka tamin’ ny Kenita izay avy amin’ ny taranak’ i Hobaba, zaodahin’ i Mosesy, ary nilasy ambara-pahatongany teo amin’ ny hazo terebinta ao Zananima, izay eo anilan’ i Kadesy.
12 And it was told Sisara, that Barac the son of Ablinoem was gone up to mount Thabor:
Ary nisy nilaza tamin’ i Sisera fa Baraka, zanak’ i Abinoama, niakatra any an-tendrombohitra Tabara.
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.
Dia nangonin’ i Sisera ny kalesiny rehetra, dia kalesy vy sivin-jato, sy ny vahoaka rehetra izay niaraka taminy avy tany Harosetan’ ny Jentilisa, hankany amin’ ny ony Kisona.
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.
Ary hoy Debora tamin’ i Baraka: Miakara, fa anio no andro hanoloran’ i Jehovah an’ i Sisera eo an-tananao; tsy mivoaka eo anoloanao va Jehovah? Dia nidina Baraka sy ny olona iray alina nanaraka azy, avy tany an-tendrombohitra Tabara.
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.
Dia nampifanaritahin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra Sisera teo anoloan’ i Baraka sy ny kalesy rehetra ary ny miaramila rehetra; dia nidina niala tamin’ ny kalesy Sisera ka nandositra nandeha tongotra.
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.
Ary Baraka nanenjika nanaraka ny kalesy sy ny miaramila hatrany Haroseta; dia lavon’ ny lelan-tsabatra avokoa ny miaramilan’ i Sisera rehetra; tsy nisy niangana na dia iray akory aza.
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.
Ary Sisera nandositra nandeha tongotra ho any amin’ ny lain’ i Jaela, vadin’ i Hebera Kenita; fa nihavana Jabina, mpanjakan’ i Hazora, sy ny mpianakavin’ i Hebera Kenita.
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,
Dia nivoaka Jaela hitsena an’ i Sisera ka nanao taminy hoe: Miakara, tompokolahy, miakara atỳ amiko; aza matahotra. Ary rehefa niakatra ho ao aminy ao an-day izy, dia norakofany ny lamba firakotra.
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.
Ary hoy Sisera taminy: Masìna ianao, omeo rano kely hosotroiko, fa mangetaheta aho izany. Dia nanokatra ny siny hoditra nisy ronono izy ka nomeny hosotroiny; ary dia norakofany indray izy.
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.
Dia hoy izy taminy: Mitsangàna eo am-baravaran’ ny lay, ka raha tàhiny misy avy ka manontany anao hoe: Misy olona va ato? dia ataovy hoe: Tsia.
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.
Dia naka tsima-day Jaela, vadin’ i Hebera, sady nitondra tantanana teny an-tànany ka nitsaitsaika nankeo aminy; dia natsatony tamin’ ny fihirifany ny tsima-day, ka nihatra tamin’ ny tany fa efa renoky ny torimaso Sisera, satria sasatra ka dia maty izy.
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.
Ary nony, indro, avy Baraka manenjika an’ i Sisera, dia nivoaka hitsena azy Jaela ka nanao taminy hoe; Avia atỳ, fa hasehoko anao ny lehilahy izay tadiavinao. Ary rehefa tonga tao aminy izy, dia indro, ny fatin’ i Sisera niampatra teo, ary ny tsima-day teo amin’ ny fihirifany.
23 So God that day humbled Jabin the king of Chanaan before the children of Israel:
Dia naetrin’ Andriamanitra teo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ izany andro izany Jabina, mpanjakan’ i Kanana.
24 Who grew daily stronger, and with a mighty hand overpowered Jabin king of Chanaan, till they quite destroyed him.
Ary ny tanan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely nihahery tamin’ i Jabina, mpanjakan’ i Kanana, mandra-pandringany azy.
