< Judges 4 >

1 After Ehud died, the Israelites once again did what was evil in the Lord's sight.
Alò, fis Israël yo ankò te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, apre Éhud te fin mouri.
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.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te vann yo nan men a Jabin, wa Kananeyen an, ki te renye nan Hatsor. Kòmandan lame li a te Sisera, ki te rete Haroscheth-Goïm.
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.
Fis Israël yo te kriye a SENYÈ a, paske li te gen nèf san cha fèt an fè, e avèk severite, li te oprime fis Israël yo pandan ventan.
4 Deborah, wife of Lappidoth, was a prophet, and she was leading Israel as a judge at that time.
Alò, Débora, yon pwofetès, madanm a Lappidoth, t ap jije Israël nan tan sila a.
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.
Li te konn chita anba pye palmis a Débora a antre Rama avèk Béthel nan peyi ti kolin Ephraïm yo, epi fis Israël yo te kon vin vè li pou l fè jijman.
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.
Alò, li te voye kòmande Barak, fis a Abinoam nan, pou l soti nan Kedesh-Nephtali. Li te di l: “Veye byen, SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, te kòmande: “Ale mache vè Mòn Thabor e pran avèk ou di-mil lòm soti nan fis a Nephtali yo ak fis a Zabulon yo.
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.”
Mwen va atire fè vin parèt Sisera, kòmandan lame Jabin nan vini avèk cha li yo ak anpil sòlda yo vè larivyè Kishon, e mwen va mete li 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.”
Alò, Barak te di li: “Si ou prale avèk mwen, alò, m ap prale, men si ou pa prale avè m, mwen pa p 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.
Li te di: “Mwen va vrèman ale avèk ou. Malgre, lonè p ap pou ou nan vwayaj ke w ap fè a, paske SENYÈ a va vann Sisera nan men a yon fanm.” Konsa, Débora te leve e te ale avèk Barak pou rive Kédesch.
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 te rele Zabulon ak Nephtali ansanm pou rive Kédesch, epi di-mil lòm te monte avèk li. Anplis, Débora te monte avèk li.
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.)
Alò, Héber, Kenyen an te rete apa de Kenyen yo, fis Hobab yo, bòpè Moïse la, e te monte tant li byen lwen jis nan bwatchenn ki nan Tsaannaïm nan, ki toupre Kédesch la.
12 Sisera heard that Barak, son of Abinoam, had gone to Mount Tabor,
Yo te di Sisera ke Barak, fis a Abinoam nan, te monte vè Mòn Thabor.
13 so he summoned all his nine hundred iron chariots and all his men to come from Harosheth-hagoyim to the Kishon River.
Sisera te rele ansanm tout cha li yo, nèf-san cha an fè ak tout pèp ki te avèk li yo, soti nan Haroscheth de Goïm yo jis rive nan larivyè Kishon.
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 te di a Barak: “Leve! Paske sa se jou nan sila SENYÈ a vin mete Sisera nan men ou! Veye byen, SENYÈ a gen tan sòti devan ou.” Konsa Barak te sòti desann Mòn Thabor avèk di-mil lòm ki t ap swiv li.
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.
SENYÈ a te boulvèse Sisera avèk tout cha yo ak tout lame a avèk lam nepe devan Barak, epi Sisera te desann cha li e te sove ale a pye.
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.
Men Barak te kouri dèyè cha yo avèk lame a jis rive Haroscheth-Goïm e tout lame Sisera a te tonbe pa lam nepe. Nanpwen youn ki te rete.
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.
Alò, Sisera te sove ale sòti nan pye a tant Jaël la, madanm a Héber a, Kenyen an; paske te gen lapè antre Jabin, wa Hatsor a ak lakay Héber, Kenyen an.
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.
Jaël te sòti deyò pou rankontre Sisera, e li te di li: “Vire akote, mèt mwen, vire akote vè mwen! Pa pè.” Epi li te vire akote li nan tant lan, e li te kouvri li avèk yon tapi.
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.
Li te di li: “Souple, ban mwen yon ti dlo pou m bwè; paske mwen swaf.” Konsa, li te ouvri yon boutèy lèt pou te bay li bwè ladann, epi li te kouvri li.
20 “Stand guard at the tent door,” he told her. “If anybody comes and asks you, ‘Is there is anyone here?’ just say no.”
Li te di li: “Kanpe nan pòtay tant lan, epi li va rive ke si yon moun vin mande ou, e di: ‘Èske gen moun la a?’ Ou va di: ‘Non.’”
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.
Men Jaël, madanm a Héber a, te pran yon pikèt tant lan. Li te pran yon mato nan men li, e li te pwoche li dousman. Konsa, li te frape pikèt la fè l kreve tèt li jis rive atè, paske li te fatige nèt e li t ap dòmi. Konsa, li te 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.
Epi veye byen, pandan Barak t ap kouri dèyè Sisera, Jaël te parèt deyò e te di l: “Vini pou mwen montre ou nonm ke w ap chache a.” Epi li te antre avèk li. Vwala, Sisera te kouche la mouri nèt avèk pikèt tant lan nan fon li.
23 That day God defeated Jabin, king of Canaan, in the presence of the Israelites.
Konsa, Bondye te imilye, nan jou sa a, Jabin, wa Kananeyen an, devan fis Israël yo.
24 From then on Israel grew ever more powerful until the destroyed Jabin, king of Hazor.
Men lan a fis Israël yo te peze pi lou e pi lou sou Jabin, wa Kananeyen an, jiskaske yo te detwi Jabin, wa Kananeyen an.
