Judges 4
1 And the children of Israel began againe to do wickedly in the sight of the Lord when Ehud was dead.
Israelviwo gawɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume, le Ehud ƒe ku megbe
2 And the Lord sold them into the hande of Iabin King of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor, whose chiefe Captaine was called Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
eya ta Yehowa tsɔ wo de asi na Yabin, Kanaan fia, ame si ɖu fia le Hazor. Eƒe aʋafia ŋkɔe nye Sisera eye wònɔ Haroset Hagoyim.
3 Then the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord: (for he had nine hundreth charets of yron, and twentie yeeres he had vexed the children of Israel very sore)
Esi gatasiaɖam alafa asiekɛ nɔ esi, eye wòwɔ funyafunya Israelviwo ƒe blaeve sɔŋ ta la, Israelviwo do ɣli na Yehowa hebia eƒe kpekpeɖeŋu be wòaɖe yewo.
4 And at that time Deborah a Prophetesse the wife of Lapidoth iudged Israel.
Ame si nɔ ʋɔnu drɔ̃m na Israel ɣe ma ɣie nye nyɔnu Nyagblɔɖila Debora, Lapidot srɔ̃.
5 And this Deborah dwelt vnder a palme tree, betweene Ramah and Beth-el in mount Ephraim, and the children of Israel came vp to her for iudgement.
Edrɔ̃a ʋɔnu le teƒe aɖe si woyɔna fifia be, “Debora ƒe Deti,” le Rama kple Betel dome, le Efraim ƒe tonyigba dzi. Israelviwo yia egbɔ le afi ma be wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu na yewo.
6 Then shee sent and called Barak the sonne of Abinoam out of Kadesh of Naphtali, and sayd vnto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Goe, and drawe towarde mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousande men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
Gbe ɖeka la, Debora yɔ Barak, Abinoam ƒe vi, ame si nɔ Kedes le Naftalinyigba dzi eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la de se na wò be, ‘Yi, nàƒo ƒu aʋawɔla akpe ewo tso Naftali ƒe viwo kple Zebulon ƒe viwo dome eye nàkplɔ wo ayi Tabɔr to la dzi.
7 And I wil drawe vnto thee to the riuer Kishon Sisera, the captaine of Iabins armie with his charets, and his multitude, and wil deliuer him into thine hand.
Mable Sisera, Yabin ƒe aʋakplɔla, eƒe tasiaɖamwo kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la nu ayi Kison tɔsisi la toe eye matsɔ wo ade asi na wò le afi ma.’”
8 And Barak sayd vnto her, If thou wilt go with me, I will go: but if thou wilt not goe with me, I will not go.
Barak ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Nenye be wò ŋutɔ àyi kplim la, ekema mayi gake ne màyi kplim o la, nyemayi o.”
9 Then shee answered, I will surely goe with thee, but this iourney that thou takest, shall not be for thine honour: for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Debora ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Enyo ŋutɔ, mayi kpli wò gake ɖe ale si nèle nya la ŋuti dɔ wɔmii ta la, bubu la manye tɔwò o elabena Yehowa atsɔ Sisera ade asi na nyɔnu.” Ale Debora yi Kedes kple Barak,
10 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and he went vp on his feete with ten thousand men, and Deborah went vp with him.
afi si wòyɔ Zebulon kple Naftali ƒe toawo ƒo ƒu ɖo. Ŋutsu akpe ewo dze eyome eye Debora hã yi kplii.
11 (Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in lawe of Moses, was departed from the Kenites, and pitched his tent vntill the playne of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh)
Azɔ Kenitɔ, Heber, dzo le Kenitɔ bubuawo dome, ame siwo nye Mose toa, Hobab ƒe dzidzimeviwo eye wòtu eƒe agbadɔ ɖe ati gã si le Zaananim, esi te ɖe Kedes ŋu la gbɔ.
12 Then they shewed Sisera, that Barak the sonne of Abinoam was gone vp to mout Tabor.
Esi wogblɔ na Sisera be Barak, Abinoam ƒe vi, yi Tabɔr toa dzi la
13 And Sisera called for all his charets, euen nine hundreth charets of yron, and all the people that were with him from Harosheth of the Gentiles, vnto the riuer Kishon.
eƒo aʋakɔ gã aɖe nu ƒu, si si gatasiaɖam alafa asiekɛ nɔ, eye woɖe zɔ tso Haroset Hagoyim yi Kison tɔsisi la to.
14 Then Deborah sayd vnto Barak, Vp: for this is the day that the Lord hath deliuered Sisera into thine hand. Is not the Lord gone out before thee? So Barak went downe from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Debora gblɔ na Barak be, “Yi! Le egbeŋkeke sia dzi, Yehowa tsɔ Sisera de asiwò me. Ɖe Yehowa medze ŋgɔ na wò oa?” Ale Barak ɖi tso Tabɔr to la dzi eye ŋutsu akpe ewoawo nɔ eyome.
15 And the Lord destroyed Sisera and all his charets, and al his hoste with the edge of the sword before Barak, so that Sisera lighted downe off his charet, and fled away on his feete.
Esi Barak zɔ gbɔna la, Yehowa de tɔtɔ Sisera, eƒe tasiaɖamwo kple aʋakɔ la dome kple yi eye Sisera ŋutɔ ɖi le eƒe tasiaɖam me heto afɔ si.
16 But Barak pursued after the charets, and after the hoste vnto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the hoste of Sisera fel vpon the edge of the sworde: there was not a man left.
Ke Barak ti tasiaɖamwo kple aʋakɔ la yome va se ɖe Haroset Hagoyim ke. Ale Sisera ƒe aʋakɔ la katã tsi yi nu, ame ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã mesusɔ o.
17 Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feete to the tent of Iael the wife of Heber the Kenite: (for peace was betweene Iabin the king of Hazor, and betweene the house of Heber the Kenite)
Sisera si yi ɖaɣla eɖokui ɖe Yael, ame si nye Heber, Kenitɔ la, srɔ̃ ƒe agbadɔ me elabena nusɔsɔe nɔ Fia Yabin, Hazor fia kple Heber ƒe hlɔ̃ la dome.
18 And Iael went out to meete Sisera, and sayd vnto him, Turne in, my lord, turne in to me: feare not. And when he had turned in vnto her into her tent, she couered him with a mantell.
Yael do go yi ɖakpe Sisera eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Amegã, va nye agbadɔ me, makpɔ tawò eye ànɔ dedie eya ta mègavɔ̃ o.” Ale Sisera yi ɖamlɔ agbadɔ la me eye Yael tsyɔ kundru nɛ.
19 And he said vnto her, Giue me, I pray thee, a litle water to drinke: for I am thirstie. And shee opened a bottel of milke, and gaue him drinke, and couered him.
Sisera gblɔ na Yael be, “Meɖe kuku, tsikɔ le wuyem, na tsim mano.” Yael na notsii wòno eye wògatsyɔ kundru la nɛ.
20 Againe he sayde vnto her, Stande in the doore of the tent, and when any man doth come and enquire of thee, saying, Is any man there? thou shalt say, Nay.
Sisera gblɔ na Yael be, “Tsi tre ɖe wò agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu eye ne ame aɖe va le diyem la, gblɔ nɛ be, ame aɖeke mele afi sia o.”
21 Then Iael Hebers wife tooke a nayle of the tent, and tooke an hammer in her hande, and went softly vnto him, and smote the nayle into his temples, and fastened it into the grounde, (for he was fast a sleepe and weary) and so he dyed.
Yael tsɔ agbadɔ la ƒe tsyoti tsutsɔe aɖe kple zu, te ɖe Sisera ŋu dzaa esi wònɔ alɔ̃ me, eye wòƒo tsyoti la ɖe eƒe to me wòdo to to evelia me hemimi eƒe ta ɖe anyigba. Ale Sisera ku, elabena ɖeɖiteameŋu na wòdɔ alɔ̃ yi eme ʋĩi.
22 And behold, as Barak pursued after Sisera, Iael came out to meete him, and sayd vnto him, Come, and I wil shewe thee the man, whome thou seekest: and when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nayle in his temples.
Esi Barak va nɔ Sisera dim yina la, Yael yi ɖado goe hegblɔ nɛ be, “Va mafia ame si dim nèle la wò.” Ale Barak dze eyome yi agbadɔ la me. Ekpɔ Sisera wòku ɖe afi ma eye tsyoti la nɔ to me nɛ.
23 So God brought downe Iabin the King of Canaan that day before the children of Israel.
Ale Mawu wɔ Israel ŋu dɔ hebɔbɔ Kanaan fia Yabin ɖe anyi le Israelviwo ŋkume.
24 And the hande of the children of Israel prospered, and preuailed against Iabin the King of Canaan, vntill they had destroyed Iabin King of Canaan.
Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, Israelviwo nɔ ŋusẽ kpɔm ɖe edzi ɖe Yabin, Kanaan fia ŋu va se ɖe esime wotsrɔ̃ eƒe amewo vɔ keŋkeŋ.
