< Judges 4 >

1 And the children of Israel began againe to do wickedly in the sight of the Lord when Ehud was dead.
Sima na kufa ya Ewudi, bana ya Isalaele basalaki lisusu makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe.
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.
Yawe akabaki bango lisusu na maboko ya Yabini, mokonzi ya Kanana, oyo azalaki kovanda na Atsori. Sisera, mokonzi ya mampinga na ye ya basoda, azalaki kovanda na Arosheti-Goyimi.
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)
Yabini azalaki na bashar nkama libwa ya bibende, mpe anyokolaki makasi bana ya Isalaele mibu tuku mibale. Bongo bana ya Isalaele bagangaki epai na Yawe mpo na kosenga lisungi.
4 And at that time Deborah a Prophetesse the wife of Lapidoth iudged Israel.
Na tango wana, Debora, mwasi mosakoli, mwasi ya engumba Lapidoti, azalaki kokamba Isalaele.
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.
Azalaki kosambisa na se ya nzete ya mbila ya Debora, oyo ezalaki na kati ya Rama mpe Beteli, kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi. Bana ya Isalaele bazalaki koya epai na ye mpo na kosambisama.
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?
Mokolo moko, abengisaki Baraki, mwana mobali ya Abinoami, moto ya Kedeshi ya Nefitali, mpe alobaki na ye: — Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apesi yo mitindo: « Kende, kamata elongo na yo bato nkoto zomi ya mabota ya Nefitali mpe ya Zabuloni, mpe mema bango na nzela oyo ekenda na ngomba Tabori.
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.
Nakomema Sisera, mokonzi ya basoda ya Yabini, na mayi moke ya Kishoni elongo na bashar mpe basoda na ye, mpe nakokaba ye na maboko na yo. »
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.
Baraki azongiselaki Debora: — Soki okokende elongo na ngai, wana nakokende; kasi soki okokende na ngai te, wana ngai mpe nakokende te.
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 alobaki na ye: — Malamu, nakokende elongo na yo. Kasi yeba ete, na nzela oyo ozali kokende, lokumu ekozala ya yo te, pamba te Yawe akokaba Sisera na maboko ya mwasi. Boye, Debora akendeki elongo na Baraki, na mboka Kedeshi.
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.
Kuna na Kedeshi, Baraki abengisaki bato ya mabota ya Zabuloni mpe ya Nefitali. Bato nkoto zomi balandaki ye, mpe Debora akendeki elongo na ye.
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)
Kaka na mokolo wana, Eberi, moto ya Keni, akabwanaki na bato mosusu ya Keni, bakitani ya Obabi, semeki ya Moyize. Mpe Eberi akendeki kino na terebente oyo ezali na Tsananimi, pembeni ya Kedeshi, mpo na kotelemisa ndako na ye ya kapo.
12 Then they shewed Sisera, that Barak the sonne of Abinoam was gone vp to mout Tabor.
Tango bayebisaki Sisera ete Baraki, mwana mobali ya Abinoami, amataki na likolo ya ngomba Tabori,
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.
Sisera abengisaki, longwa na Arosheti-Goyimi, bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na ye elongo, mpe asangisaki bashar nkama libwa ya bibende. Amemaki bango na mayi moke ya Kishoni.
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 alobaki na Baraki: « Kende! Ezali lelo nde mokolo oyo Yawe akokaba Sisera na maboko na yo. » Baraki akitaki na ngomba Tabori, mpe bato nkoto zomi balandaki ye.
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.
Wana Baraki azalaki kokende, Yawe apanzaki, na nzela ya mopanga na Ye, Sisera, bashar na ye nyonso mpe mampinga na ye ya basoda. Sisera asundolaki shar na ye mpe akimaki na makolo.
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.
Kasi Baraki alandaki bashar mpe mampinga kino na Arosheti-Goyimi. Mampinga nyonso ya basoda ya Sisera ekufaki na mopanga, ata moto moko te abikaki.
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)
Nzokande, Sisera akimaki na makolo kino na ndako ya kapo ya Yaeli, mwasi ya Eberi, moto ya Keni; pamba te boyokani ya malamu ezalaki kati na Yabini, mokonzi ya Atsori, mpe libota ya Eberi, moto ya Keni.
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.
Yaeli abimaki mpo na kokutana na Sisera mpe alobaki na ye: — Yaka, nkolo na ngai; kimela epai na ngai, kobanga te. Sisera akotaki na ndako ya kapo ya Yaeli, mpe Yaeli azipaki ye bulangeti.
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 alobaki na Yaeli: — Nabondeli yo, pesa ngai mayi mpo ete namela; nazali na posa ya mayi. Yaeli afungolaki mbeki etonda na miliki ya mayi, mpe amelisaki ye yango. Sima, azipaki ye lisusu bulangeti.
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 alobaki na Yaeli: — Telema na ekuke ya ndako ya kapo. Soki moto ayei kotuna yo: « Moto azali awa? » Zongisa: « Te! »
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.
Kasi wana Sisera alalaki pongi makasi mpo ete alembaki, Yaeli, mwasi ya Eberi, akamataki pike ya ndako ya kapo mpe azwaki marto; akotaki malembe pembeni na ye, abetaki ye pike na litoyi, mpe pike yango etobolaki moto na ye kino ekotaki na mabele; mpe Sisera akufaki.
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.
Wana Baraki azalaki nanu kolanda Sisera, Yaeli abimaki mpo na kokutana na ye. Alobaki na Baraki: « Yaka, nakolakisa yo moto oyo ozali koluka. » Baraki akotaki na ndako ya kapo ya Yaeli mpe amonaki Sisera ya kokufa, alala na mabele, mpe pike kati na litoyi na ye.
23 So God brought downe Iabin the King of Canaan that day before the children of Israel.
Mokolo wana, Nzambe akitisaki liboso ya bana ya Isalaele, Yabini, mokonzi ya Kanana.
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.
Bana ya Isalaele bakomaki makasi koleka Yabini, mokonzi ya Kanana, kino babomaki ye.
