Judges 4
1 After Ehud died, the Israelites once again did what was evil in the Lord's sight.
Ehud thinung in, Israelten Pakai mitmun thilse jeng abolkit tauvin.
2 So the Lord sold them to Jabin, king of Canaan, who ruled from Hazor. His army commander was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin Canaan mi Hajor lengpa Jabin khut’ah amaho chu apelut in, ama sepai lamkai chu Haresheth-haggoyim mi Sisera ahi.
3 The Israelites cried out to the Lord to help them, for Sisera had nine hundred iron chariots and he cruelly mistreated them for twenty years.
Siserah in thih sakol kangtalai jako aneiyin, kum somni sunga Israelte ana sugenthei lheh jeng in, hijeh chun Israelten Pakai koma panpi ngaiyin anakap tauvin ahi.
4 Deborah, wife of Lappidoth, was a prophet, and she was leading Israel as a judge at that time.
Hiche phatlai sunga chu Lappidoth jinu Deborah hi themgao ahin chule Israelte chunga thu anatana vai anahom ahi.
5 She would sit under Deborah's Palm between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites would go to her for her decisions.
Themgaonu chu Ephraim thinglhang gam Ramah le Bethel kikah a tumphung lim noiya ana touji ahin, hiche muna chun Israelte anache jiuvin, amanu in achungthu anatan pehjiu ahi.
6 She sent for Barak, son of Abinoam, from the town of Kedesh in Naphtali and told him, “The Lord, the God of Israel, orders you: ‘Go to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun, and lead them there.
Nikhat Deborah chun, Naphtali gama Kadesh khopia cheng Abinoam chapa Barak aga kousah in, ama koma chun hitin anaseiyin, “Hiche hi Israel Pathen in nathupeh ahi, nangman Naphtali leh Zebulun phunga kon in galsat mi sangsom Tabor molchunga hinkou khom in,
7 I will bring Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River, and hand him over to you.”
Chutengleh keiman Jabin kiti lamkaipa le athih sakol kangtalai ho, chule agalmite chengse khu Kishon vadunga kakoudoh ding; chuteng amaho chunga galjona nangma kapeh ding ahi,” ati.
8 Barak replied, “If you come with me, I'll go; but if you don't come with me, I won't go.”
Barak in jong adonbut’in “Nangman neikilhonpi dingleh che nange,” ati.
9 “I'll definitely go with you,” Deborah answered, “but if you're going to take that route then you won't receive any respect, because the Lord will give Sisera into the hands of a woman.” Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Hichun Deborah in adonbut in, “Aphalheh jenge keiman kalhonpi ding nahi, ahinlah tuchung kalsonna a hi nangin minphatna namu louding ahi, ajeh chu Sisera chunga Pakaiyin galjona eipeh diu hi numei khutna kona bou hiding ahi”, ati. Hiti chun Deborah in Barak chu Kadesh geiyin ahin kilhon lutpi tai.
10 Barak called up the armies of Zebulun and Naphtali, and ten thousand men assembled under his command. Deborah was also there with him.
Kadesh a chun, Barak in Zebulun leh Naphtali phunga kon in galsat mi sangsom akou khom in amahon ahin juiyun, Deborah injong akilhonpin ahi.
11 (Heber the Kenite had separated from the other Kenites, the descendants of Hobab, the father-in-law of Moses, and had set up his tent at the large tree in Zaanannim, which is near Kedesh.)
Hikoma chun Mose nupapa Hobab chilhah holah a Ken mi Heber chun ama phung lah a konin apotdoh in, achombeh in Kadesh kom Zaanannim gangpi phung koma chun aponbuh ana songin ahi.
12 Sisera heard that Barak, son of Abinoam, had gone to Mount Tabor,
Sisera jah a chu Abinoam chapa Barak chu Tabor mol chunga akaltoutai, tia aseiphat uvin,
13 so he summoned all his nine hundred iron chariots and all his men to come from Harosheth-hagoyim to the Kishon River.
Aman thih sakol kangtalai jako leh a-sepai jouse akoudoh in Harosheth-haggoyim ana kon in Kishon vadung geiya ahung tou un ahi.
14 Then Deborah told Barak, “Get going! Today the Lord has handed Sisera to you. Didn't the Lord march out ahead of you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, accompanied by ten thousand men.
Hichun Deborah in Barak koma aseiyin, “Kigosadem’in um'in tunia hi Pakaiyin Sisera chunga galjona napeh ding ahi, ajeh chu Pakai hi namasanga akalsong tan ahi,” ati. Hiti chun Barak in galsat ding mi sangsom chu alamkaiyin Tabor mola konchun akum suh tauvin galmun chu ajonlut tauve.
15 When Barak attacked, the Lord threw Sisera and all his chariots and warriors into a confused panic. Sisera jumped down from his chariot and ran away.
Barak’in ahin nokhum phat chun Pakaiyin Sisera leh asakol kangtalai jouse leh agalsat ding jouse chu asuh nohphah pehtan, Sisera chu asakol kangtalai akon in aki chomlhan akengin ajamdoh tan ahi.
16 Barak chased after the chariots and troops all the way to Harosheth-hagoyim. The whole of Sisera's army was killed—not a single man survived.
Hichun Barak in sakol kangtalai holeh agalmiho chu Harosheth-haggoyim changei chun adel lut in, Sisera galmi jouse chu athatgam soh hel'in khatcha ahing hoi tapon ahi.
17 In the meantime Sisera had run away to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there was a peace treaty between Jabin, king of Hazor, and the family of Heber the Kenite.
Hiche kahlah chun Sisera chu Ken mi Heber jinu Ja’el ponbuh a anajam lut’in ahi, ajeh chu Heber insung mite leh Hazor lengpa Jabin chu jolle gol hina a ana kihou thei ahiuve.
18 Jael went to meet Sisera and told him, “Come on in, my lord, come in with me. Don't be afraid.” So he went into her tent, and she covered him with a thick blanket.
Jael chu apotdoh in Sisera chu akimu pin akoma hitin anaseiye, “Kaponbuh sunga hunglut’in, kapu kichalou hel'in hung lut in ati. Hiti chun aponbuh sunga ana lut’in aman ponsil ponkhat in ana khu khum’in ahi.
19 “Please give me a bit of water to drink, because I'm thirsty,” Sisera asked her. So she opened a skin of milk, let him have a drink, and then covered him up again.
Hichun Sisera in Jael hengah chun, “Twidon ding themkhat neihinpen kadang achah behseh e,” ati. Hiti chun amanun savun peng sunga bongnoi themkhat chu anapen pon chu akhu khum kit in ahi.
20 “Stand guard at the tent door,” he told her. “If anybody comes and asks you, ‘Is there is anyone here?’ just say no.”
Hichun Sisera’n amanu koma chun, “Ponbuh kot phung koma chun ding inlang koitobang hamkhat ahunga na-in sung’a mi khattou um am tia ahung holleh aumpoi tin,” ati.
21 But Jael, Heber's wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and crept quietly over to him where he lay fast sleep and exhausted. She drove the tent peg through his temple and into the ground, and he died.
Ahinlah Sisera chu athachol behseh jeh a a-imut mil hel phat chun Jael chun, thih hemkhat akhutna achoijin ama koma chun guhthim chan alut in hichun ponbuh thih hemchu achalpanga akhen lut in toltoh akhen mat jengin ahileh ama athitan ahi.
22 So when Barak came past, hunting for Sisera, Jael went out to meet him, and said, “Come here, and I'll show you the man you're looking for.” He went in with her, and there lay Sisera, dead, with the tent peg through his temple.
Barak chu Sisera hola ahung chun Jael chu apotdoh in akimupin hitin aseiye, “Hungin namihol chu keiman navetsah inge” ati. Hiti chun aman ponbuh sunga chun ajuilut in ahileh, Sisera chu achalpanga ponbuh thih kikhenlutna athisa alupchu agamu in ahi.
23 That day God defeated Jabin, king of Canaan, in the presence of the Israelites.
Hiche nikho chun Canaan lengpa Jabin chu Pakaiyin ajopeh tauve ti Israel ten amuchen tauvin ahi.
24 From then on Israel grew ever more powerful until the destroyed Jabin, king of Hazor.
Hiche nikhoa pat chun Israelte chu Jabin lengpa dounan ahung hatdoh un ajonan asumang hel tauvin ahi.
