< Judges 4 >
1 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, when Ehud was dead.
Setelah Ehud mati, orang Israel melakukan pula apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN.
2 Jehovah sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth Haggoyim.
Lalu TUHAN menyerahkan mereka ke dalam tangan Yabin, raja Kanaan, yang memerintah di Hazor. Panglima tentaranya ialah Sisera yang diam di Haroset-Hagoyim.
3 The children of Israel cried to Jehovah: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
Lalu orang Israel berseru kepada TUHAN, sebab Sisera mempunyai sembilan ratus kereta besi dan dua puluh tahun lamanya ia menindas orang Israel dengan keras.
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
Pada waktu itu Debora, seorang nabiah, isteri Lapidot, memerintah sebagai hakim atas orang Israel.
5 She lived under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Ia biasa duduk di bawah pohon korma Debora antara Rama dan Betel di pegunungan Efraim, dan orang Israel menghadap dia untuk berhakim kepadanya.
6 She sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh Naphtali, and said to him, "Hasn't Jehovah, the God of Israel, commanded, 'Go and draw to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the people of Naphtali and of the people of Zebulun?
Ia menyuruh memanggil Barak bin Abinoam dari Kedesh di daerah Naftali, lalu berkata kepadanya: "Bukankah TUHAN, Allah Israel, memerintahkan demikian: Majulah, bergeraklah menuju gunung Tabor dengan membawa sepuluh ribu orang bani Naftali dan bani Zebulon bersama-sama dengan engkau,
7 I will draw to you, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into your hand.'"
dan Aku akan menggerakkan Sisera, panglima tentara Yabin, dengan kereta-keretanya dan pasukan-pasukannya menuju engkau ke sungai Kison dan Aku akan menyerahkan dia ke dalam tanganmu."
8 Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go, for I do not know the day on which Jehovah prospers his angel with me."
Jawab Barak kepada Debora: "Jika engkau turut maju akupun maju, tetapi jika engkau tidak turut maju akupun tidak maju."
9 She said, "I will surely go with you, but know that the journey that you take will not be for your honor; for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman." Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Kata Debora: "Baik, aku turut! Hanya, engkau tidak akan mendapat kehormatan dalam perjalanan yang engkau lakukan ini, sebab TUHAN akan menyerahkan Sisera ke dalam tangan seorang perempuan." Lalu Debora bangun berdiri dan pergi bersama-sama dengan Barak ke Kedesh.
10 Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
Barak mengerahkan suku Zebulon dan suku Naftali ke Kedesh, maka sepuluh ribu orang maju mengikuti dia; juga Debora maju bersama-sama dengan dia.
11 Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the descendants of Hobab the brother-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
Adapun Heber, orang Keni itu, telah memisahkan diri dari suku Keni, dari anak-anak Hobab ipar Musa, dan telah berpindah-pindah memasang kemahnya sampai ke pohon tarbantin di Zaanaim yang dekat Kedesh.
12 And it was reported to Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.
Setelah dikabarkan kepada Sisera, bahwa Barak bin Abinoam telah maju ke gunung Tabor,
13 Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth Haggoyim, to the river Kishon.
dikerahkannyalah segala keretanya, sembilan ratus kereta besi, dan seluruh rakyat yang bersama-sama dengan dia, dari Haroset-Hagoyim ke sungai Kison.
14 Deborah said to Barak, "Arise, for this is the day in which Jehovah has delivered Sisera into your hand. Hasn't Jehovah gone out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Lalu berkatalah Debora kepada Barak: "Bersiaplah, sebab inilah harinya TUHAN menyerahkan Sisera ke dalam tanganmu. Bukankah TUHAN telah maju di depan engkau?" Lalu turunlah Barak dari gunung Tabor dan sepuluh ribu orang mengikuti dia,
15 Jehovah confused Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera got off from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
dan TUHAN mengacaukan Sisera serta segala keretanya dan seluruh tentaranya oleh mata pedang di depan Barak, sehingga Sisera turun dari keretanya dan melarikan diri dengan berjalan kaki.
16 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, to Harosheth Haggoyim: and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not a man left.
Lalu Barak mengejar kereta-kereta dan tentara itu sampai ke Haroset-Hagoyim, dan seluruh tentara Sisera tewas oleh mata pedang; tidak ada seorangpun yang tinggal hidup.
17 However Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
Tetapi Sisera dengan berjalan kaki melarikan diri ke kemah Yael, isteri Heber, orang Keni itu, sebab ada perhubungan baik antara Yabin, raja Hazor, dengan keluarga Heber, orang Keni itu.
18 Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, "Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; do not be afraid." He came in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
Yael itupun keluar mendapatkan Sisera, dan berkata kepadanya: "Singgahlah, tuanku, silakan masuk. Jangan takut." Lalu singgahlah ia ke dalam kemah perempuan itu dan perempuan itu menutupi dia dengan selimut.
19 He said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty." She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
Kemudian berkatalah ia kepada perempuan itu: "Berilah kiranya aku minum air sedikit, aku haus." Lalu perempuan itu membuka kirbat susu, diberinyalah dia minum dan diselimutinya pula.
20 He said to her, "Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man comes and inquires of you, and says, 'Is there any man here?' that you shall say, 'No.'"
Lagi katanya kepada perempuan itu: "Berdirilah di depan pintu kemah dan apabila ada orang datang dan bertanya kepadamu: Ada orang di sini?, maka jawablah: Tidak ada."
21 Then Jael Heber's wife took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he died.
Tetapi Yael, isteri Heber, mengambil patok kemah, diambilnya pula palu, mendekatinya diam-diam, lalu dilantaknyalah patok itu masuk ke dalam pelipisnya sampai tembus ke tanah--sebab ia telah tidur nyenyak karena lelahnya--maka matilah orang itu.
22 Look, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, "Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek." He came to her; and look, Sisera lay dead, and the tent peg was in his temples.
Pada waktu itu muncullah Barak yang mengejar Sisera. Keluarlah Yael mendapatkan dia dan berkata kepadanya: "Mari, aku akan menunjukkan kepadamu orang yang kaucari itu." Lalu masuklah Barak ke dalam dan tampaklah Sisera mati tergeletak dengan patok dalam pelipisnya.
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
Demikianlah Allah pada hari itu menundukkan Yabin, raja Kanaan, di depan orang Israel.
24 The hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
Dan kekuasaan orang Israel kian keras menekan Yabin, raja Kanaan, sampai mereka melenyapkan Yabin, raja Kanaan itu.
