Judges 4
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, after Ehud was dead.
Setelah Ehud mati, orang Israel melakukan pula apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN.
2 And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
Lalu TUHAN menyerahkan mereka ke dalam tangan Yabin, raja Kanaan, yang memerintah di Hazor. Panglima tentaranya ialah Sisera yang diam di Haroset-Hagoyim.
3 And the children of Israel cried to the LORD: 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 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
Pada waktu itu Debora, seorang nabiah, isteri Lapidot, memerintah sebagai hakim atas orang Israel.
5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount 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 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedeshnaphtali, and said to him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children 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 And I will draw to thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thy 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 And Barak said to her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
Jawab Barak kepada Debora: "Jika engkau turut maju akupun maju, tetapi jika engkau tidak turut maju akupun tidak maju."
9 And she said, I will surely go with thee: however the journey that thou takest shall not be for thy honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And 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 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with 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, who was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had separated himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent to the plain of Zaanaim, 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 they showed 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 And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to the river of Kishon.
dikerahkannyalah segala keretanya, sembilan ratus kereta besi, dan seluruh rakyat yang bersama-sama dengan dia, dari Haroset-Hagoyim ke sungai Kison.
14 And Deborah said to Barak, Arise; for this is the day when the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thy hand: hath not the LORD gone out before thee? 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 And the LORD destroyed Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera came down 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 the chariots, and the host, to Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and 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 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in to her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
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 And he said to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him a 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 Again he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt 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 nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. 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 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail 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 And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed 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.
