Judges 4
1 And the sons of Israel add to do evil in the eyes of YHWH when Ehud is dead,
Ehud wu akyi no, Israelfo no yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so bio.
2 and YHWH sells them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who has reigned in Hazor, and Sisera [is] the head of his host, and he is dwelling in Harosheth of the nations;
Enti Awurade de wɔn hyɛɛ Kanaanhene Yabin a na odi ade wɔ Hasor no nsa. Na ɔsahene a otua nʼakofo ano no din de Sisera a na ɔte Haroset-Hagoyim.
3 and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH, for he has nine hundred chariots of iron, and he has oppressed the sons of Israel mightily [for] twenty years.
Na Sisera wɔ nnade nteaseɛnam ahankron, na ɔde atirimɔden hyɛɛ Israelfo no so mfirihyia aduonu. Afei Israelfo no su frɛɛ Awurade pɛɛ mmoa.
4 And Deborah, a woman, a prophetess, wife of Lapidoth, she is judging Israel at that time,
Debora a na ɔyɛ Lapidot yere ne odiyifobea na ɔbɛyɛɛ Israelfo temmufo.
5 and she is dwelling under the palm-tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Beth-El, in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the sons of Israel go up to her for judgment.
Na ɔtenaa Debora Abɛ Dua ase a ɛwɔ Rama ne Bet-El ntam wɔ Efraim bepɔw asase no so. Ɛhɔ na na Israelfo no kɔ ma odi wɔn nsɛm.
6 And she sends and calls for Barak son of Abinoam, out of Kedesh-Naphtali, and says to him, “Has YHWH, God of Israel, not commanded? Go, and you have drawn toward Mount Tabor, and have taken with you ten thousand men, out of the sons of Naphtali, and out of the sons of Zebulun,
Da bi, ɔsoma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Abinoam babarima Barak a na ɔte Kedes wɔ Naftali asase so. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn hyɛ wo sɛ yɛ: Kɔboaboa akofo mpem du ano fi Naftali ne Sebulon mmusuakuw mu wɔ Tabor bepɔw so hɔ.
7 and I have drawn to you, to the Brook of Kishon, Sisera, head of the host of Jabin, and his chariot, and his multitude, and have given him into your hand.”
Mɛdaadaa Yabin nsraadɔm sahene Sisera ne ne nteaseɛnam ne akofo akɔ Asubɔnten Kison ho. Ɛhɔ na mɛma woadi ne so nkonim.”
8 And Barak says to her, “If you go with me, then I have gone; and if you do not go with me, I do not go”;
Barak ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛ wo ne me bɛkɔ de a, mɛkɔ!”
9 and she says, “I certainly go with you; only, surely your glory is not on the way which you are going, for YHWH sells Sisera into the hand of a woman”; and Deborah rises and goes with Barak to Kedesh.
Debora buaa no se, “Mate, me ne wo bɛkɔ, nanso worennya anuonyam biara wɔ dwumadi yi mu, efisɛ Awurade nkonimdi wɔ Sisera so no befi ɔbea nsam.” Enti Debora ne Barak kɔɔ Kedes.
10 And Barak calls Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and he goes up—ten thousand men [are] at his feet—and Deborah goes up with him.
Kedes hɔ, Barak frɛfrɛɛ Sebulon abusuakuw ne Naftali abusuakuw mu nnipa nyinaa, na akofo mpem du ne no kɔe. Debora nso kaa wɔn ho kɔe.
11 And Heber the Kenite has been separated from the Kenite, from the sons of Hobab father-in-law of Moses, and he stretches out his tent to the oak in Zaanaim, which [is] by Kedesh.
Na Kenini Heber atwe ne ho afi Kenifo a wɔyɛ Mose akonta Hobab asefo no ho, akosi ne ntamadan wɔ dua kɛse bi a esi Saananim a ɛbɛn Kedes no ho.
12 And they declare to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam has gone up to Mount Tabor,
Bere a wɔka kyerɛɛ Sisera sɛ Abinoam ba Barak aforo kɔ Tabor bepɔw so no,
13 and Sisera calls all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who [are] with him, from Harosheth of the nations, to the Brook of Kishon.
ɔboaboaa ne nnade nteaseɛnam ahankron ano ne nʼakofo nyinaa, na wotu sen fii Haroset-Hagoyim kɔɔ Asubɔnten Kison ho.
14 And Deborah says to Barak, “Rise, for this [is] the day in which YHWH has given Sisera into your hand; has YHWH not gone out before you?” And Barak goes down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Afei, Debora ka kyerɛɛ Barak sɛ, “Yɛ ahoboa! Nnɛ ne da a Awurade de Sisera so nkonimdi bɛma wo, efisɛ, Awurade atu ɔsa adi wʼanim.” Enti Barak dii nʼakofo mpem du anim sian Tabor bepɔw no kɔkoe.
15 And YHWH destroys Sisera, and all the chariots, and all the camp, by the mouth of the sword, before Barak, and Sisera comes down from off the chariot, and flees on his feet.
Bere a Barak tow hyɛɛ wɔn so no, Awurade maa huboa bɔɔ Sisera, ne nteaseɛnamkafo ne nʼakofo no nyinaa. Ɛbaa saa no, Sisera huruw fii ne teaseɛnam mu sii fam guanee.
16 And Barak has pursued after the chariots and after the camp, to Harosheth of the nations, and all the camp of Sisera falls by the mouth of the sword—there has not been left even one.
Barak nteaseɛnam ne ɔtamfo no nsraadɔm no ara kosii Haroset-Hagoyim, kunkum Sisera akofo no nyinaa. Anka wɔn mu baako mpo.
17 And Sisera has fled on his feet to the tent of Jael wife of Heber the Kenite, for [there is] peace between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite;
Sisera guan kɔhyɛɛ Kenini Heber yere Yael ntamadan mu, efisɛ na Heber abusuafo ne Hasorhene Yabin wɔ ayɔnkofa.
18 and Jael goes out to meet Sisera and says to him, “Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me, do not fear”; and he turns aside to her, into the tent, and she covers him with a mantle.
Yael fii adi kohyiaa Sisera ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Owura, bra me ntamadan yi mu. Bra mu. Nsuro.” Enti ɔkɔɔ ntamadan no mu ma ɔde nnaso kataa ne so.
19 And he says to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty”; and she opens the bottle of milk, and gives him to drink, and covers him.
Sisera ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mesrɛ wo, osukɔm de me nti ma me nsu.” Enti ɔmaa no nufusu sɛ ɔnnom, na ɔsan kataa ne so.
20 And he says to her, “Stand at the opening of the tent, and it has been, if any comes in, and has asked you and said, Is there a man here? That you have said, There is not.”
Sisera ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Gyina ntamadan no ano na sɛ obi bebisa wo se obi wɔ ha a, ka se dabi.”
21 And Jael wife of Heber takes the pin of the tent, and takes the hammer in her hand, and goes to him gently, and strikes the pin into his temples, and it fastens in the earth—and he has been fast asleep, and is weary—and he dies.
Nanso ɔbrɛ nti, Sisera faa mu dae. Yael, a ɔyɛ Heber yere, yɛɛ brɛoo kɔɔ ne so. Ɔde asae ne pɛe na ɛkɔe. Ɔde pɛe no sii ne moma so de hama no bɔɔ so, kosii sɛ ehwirew ne moma mu sii fam ma owui.
22 And behold, Barak is pursuing Sisera, and Jael comes out to meet him, and says to him, “Come, and I show you the man whom you are seeking”; and he comes to her, and behold, Sisera is fallen—dead, and the pin [is] in his temples.
Bere a Barak baa sɛ ɔrebɛhwehwɛ Sisera no, Yael pue behyiaa no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Bra na menkyerɛ wo ɔbarima a worehwehwɛ no no.” Enti, odii nʼakyi kɔɔ ntamadan no mu kohuu Sisera sɛ wawu da hɔ a pɛe si ne moma so.
23 And God humbles Jabin king of Canaan before the sons of Israel on that day,
Da no na Israel huu sɛ Onyankopɔn adi Kanaanhene Yabin so nkonim.
24 and the hand of the sons of Israel goes, going on and becoming hard on Jabin king of Canaan, until they have cut off Jabin king of Canaan.
Na ɛno akyi no, Israel nyaa ahoɔden tiaa ɔhene Yabin ara kosii sɛ akyiri no, wɔsɛee no.
