< Judges 4 >

1 After Ehud died, the Israelites once again did what was evil in the Lord's sight.
Lè Eyoud mouri, moun pèp Izrayèl yo rekonmanse ankò ap fè bagay ki te mal nan je Seyè a.
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.
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 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.
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 Deborah, wife of Lappidoth, was a prophet, and she was leading Israel as a judge at that time.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 Barak replied, “If you come with me, I'll go; but if you don't come with me, I won't go.”
Barak di Debora: -Si ou prale avè m', m'a prale. Men si ou pa prale avè m', mwen pa prale.
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.
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 Barak called up the armies of Zebulun and Naphtali, and ten thousand men assembled under his command. Deborah was also there with him.
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 (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.)
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 Sisera heard that Barak, son of Abinoam, had gone to Mount Tabor,
Y' al di Sisera men Barak, pitit gason Abinoram lan, te pran chemen moute mòn Tabò.
13 so he summoned all his nine hundred iron chariots and all his men to come from Harosheth-hagoyim to the Kishon River.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 “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.
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 “Stand guard at the tent door,” he told her. “If anybody comes and asks you, ‘Is there is anyone here?’ just say no.”
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 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.
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 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.
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 That day God defeated Jabin, king of Canaan, in the presence of the Israelites.
Jou sa a, Bondye te fè Jaben, wa peyi Kanaran an, bese tèt devan pèp Izrayèl la.
24 From then on Israel grew ever more powerful until the destroyed Jabin, king of Hazor.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran maltrete Jaben, wa peyi Kanaran an, jouk yo touye l'.
