Judges 4
1 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, when Ehud was dead.
Ehud a duek phoeiah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thae saii ham te Israel ca rhoek loh koep a khoep uh.
2 Yahweh 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 of the Gentiles.
Te dongah amih te BOEIPA loh Hazor aka manghai thil Kanaan manghai Jabin kut neh anih kah caempuei mangpa Sisera, Kharosheth-hagoyim ah aka om taengah a yoih.
3 The children of Israel cried to Yahweh, for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he mightily oppressed the children of Israel for twenty years.
Anih te thi leng ya ko a khueh dongah Israel ca rhoek te thamanah neh kum kul a nen. Te dongah Israel ca rhoek tah BOEIPA taengah pang uh.
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, judged Israel at that time.
Te vaeng tue ah Lappidoth yuu tonghmanu, nu Deborah loh Israel ham lai a rhoe pah.
5 She lived under Deborah’s palm tree between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Deborah te Ephraim tlang kah Ramah laklo neh Bethel laklo kah rhophoe hmuiah kho a sak. Te vaengah laitloeknah ham Israel ca rhoek loh anih te a paan uh.
6 She sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh Naphtali, and said to him, “Hasn’t Yahweh, the God of Israel, commanded, ‘Go and lead the way to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
Te vaengah Kedesh Naphtali lamkah Abinoam capa Barak te a tah tih a khue. Te phoeiah anih te, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh ng'uen moenih a? Cet lamtah Tabor tlang la mawt. Naphtali ca rhoek neh Zebulun ca rhoek khui lamkah hlang thawng rha namah neh puei uh.
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.’”
Jabin kah caempuei mangpa Sisera neh anih kah leng khaw, a hlangping te khaw nang taengah Kishon soklong duela kan sol vetih na kut ah kam paek bitni,” a ti nah.
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.”
Barak loh Deborah taengah, “Ka taengah na pongpa atah ka cet ngawn ni, tedae kai taengah ni na pongpa pawt atah ka cet van mahpawh,” a ti nah.
9 She said, “I will surely go with you. Nevertheless, the journey that you take won’t be for your honor; for Yahweh will sell Sisera into a woman’s hand.” Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Te dongah, “Nang taengah ka pongpa khaw ka pongpa ngawn suidae, na pongpa nah longpuei kah Sisera te BOEIPA loh huta kut dongla a yoih coeng dongah nang kah na boei na mang ngawn tah om voel mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah Deborah te thoo tih Barak te Kedesh la a caeh puei.
10 Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh. Ten thousand men followed him; and Deborah went up with him.
Kedesh ah Zebulun neh Naphtali te Barak loh a hueh. Te vaengah a kho neh hlang thawng rha a caeh dongah Deborah khaw anih taengla luei van.
11 Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab, Moses’ brother-in-law, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
Te vaengah Moses masae Hobab koca Heber Keni tah Kain lamloh hoep uh tih Kedesh Zaanannim kah thingnu taengah dap a tuuk.
12 They told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.
Te phoeiah Tabor tlang kah Abinoam capa Barak a luei te Sisera taengla a puen pauh.
13 Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles, to the river Kishon.
Sisera loh amah kah leng rhoek te thi leng ya ko la boeih a hueh tih amah taengkah pilnam pum te Kharosheth-hagoyim lamloh Kishon soklong la a khuen.
14 Deborah said to Barak, “Go; for this is the day in which Yahweh has delivered Sisera into your hand. Hasn’t Yahweh gone out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Te dongah Deborah loh Barak taengah, “Sisera he na kut dongla BOEIPA loh m'paek coeng dongah tihnin ah thoo laeh. Na mikhmuh ah BOEIPA a caeh moenih a?,” a ti nah. Te dongah Barak loh a hnukah hlang thawng rha neh Tabor tlang lamloh suntla thuk.
15 Yahweh confused Sisera, all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak. Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled away on his feet.
Sisera neh leng boeih, caem boeih te Barak mikhmuh ah BOEIPA loh cunghang ha neh a khawkhek pah. Te dongah Sesera tah leng dong lamloh rhum tih a kho neh vik rhaelrham.
16 But Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Harosheth of the Gentiles; and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword. There was not a man left.
Tedae leng hnuk neh caem hnuk te Barak loh Kharosheth-hagoyim duela a hloem. Te dongah Sisera caem te cunghang ha neh boeih a tulh tih pakhat khaw sueng pawh.
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.
Tedae Hazor manghai Jabin laklo neh Keni Heber imko laklo ah he rhoepnah la ana om dongah Sisera tah Keni Heber yuu Jael kah dap duela a kho neh rhaelrham.
18 Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, “Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; don’t be afraid.” He came in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
Te dongah Jael tah Sisera doe hamla cet tih, “Ka boeipa ha pah dae, kai taengla ha pah dae, rhih boeh,” a ti nah. Te daengah te dap khuila kun tih anih te himbai neh mulh a khuk.
19 He said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty.” She opened a container of milk, and gave him a drink, and covered him.
Te phoeiah Jael taengah, “Tui ka halthi coeng tih a yol khaw bet n'tul laem,” a ti nah. Te dongah suktui tuitang te a ong tih a tul phoeiah koep a khuk.
20 He said to her, “Stand in the door of the tent, and if any man comes and inquires of you, and says, ‘Is there any man here?’ you shall say, ‘No.’”
Sisera loh Jael taengah, “Dap thohka ah pai lamtah hlang aka lo ni om tih nang n'dawt vaengah, 'Hlang om mai a?,’ a ti,” atah, 'Om pawh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
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 fainted and died.
Tedae Heber yuu Jael loh dap kah hlingcong te a loh tih a kut dongah thilung a pom. A muel la Sisera te a paan tih a baengpae khuila hlingcong te a hen. A ih muelh vaengah cirhong dongah a pawlh coeng dongah pahoi duek.
22 Behold, 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 behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent peg was in his temples.
Barak loh Sisera te a hloem vaengah anih aka doe la Jael lawt ha moe tih, “Halo la lamtah nang loh na tlap hlang te namah kan tueng eh?,” a ti nah. Tedae a kun rhoi vaengah Sisera tah a baengpae kah hlingcong dongah a duek la tarha ana yalh.
23 So God subdued Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel on that day.
Tekah khohnin ah Kanaan manghai Jabin te Pathen loh Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah a kunyun sak.
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.
Israel ca rhoek kah kut aka cu long khaw Kanaan manghai Jabin taengah rhaprhap a cuk thil tih Kanaan manghai Jabin te a saii.
