< Judges 4 >

1 And the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah when Ehud is dead,
Bangʼ ka Ehud nosetho, jo-Israel nochako otimo tim mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye.
2 and Jehovah selleth them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who hath reigned in Hazor, and the head of his host [is] Sisera, and he is dwelling in Harosheth of the Goyim;
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nousogi ne Jabin, ruodh Kanaan, ma loch mare neni Hazor. Jatend jolweny mage ne en Sisera, manodak Harosheth Hagoyim.
3 and the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, for he hath nine hundred chariots of iron, and he hath oppressed the sons of Israel mightily twenty years.
Nikech ne en-gi geche chuma mia ochiko kendo notiyo jo-Israel gachuna kuom higni piero ariyo, ne giywakne Jehova Nyasaye mondo oresgi.
4 And Deborah, a woman inspired, wife of Lapidoth, she is judging Israel at that time,
Debora, janabi madhako, ma chi Lapidoth, notelo ne jo-Israel e kindeno.
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 unto her for judgment.
Nobedo gi kar ngʼado bura e bwo Yadh Othith mar Debora mantiere kind Rama kod Bethel manie piny gode mar Efraim, kendo jo-Israel ne biro ire kanyo mondo ongʼadnegi bura.
6 And she sendeth and calleth for Barak son of Abinoam, out of Kedesh-Naphtali, and saith unto him, 'Hath not Jehovah, God of Israel, commanded? go, and thou hast drawn towards mount Tabor, and hast taken with thee ten thousand men, out of the sons of Naphtali, and out of the sons of Zebulun,
Noluongo Barak wuod Abinoam moa Kedesh man Naftali kendo owachone niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, chiki ni, ‘Dhiyo, ikaw ji alufu apar mag Naftali kod Zebulun kendo itelnegi ka udhi e Got Tabor.
7 and I have drawn unto thee, unto the brook Kishon, Sisera, head of the host of Jabin, and his chariot, and his multitude, and have given him into thy hand.'
Abiro wuondo Sisera, jatend jolwenj Jabin, kanyakla gi gechene kod ogandage mag lweny nyaka e Aora Kishon kendo achiwe e lweti.’”
8 And Barak saith unto her, 'If thou dost go with me, then I have gone; and if thou dost not go with me, I do not go;'
Barak nowachone niya, “Ka idhi koda, abiro dhi; to ka ok idhi koda, to ok abi dhi.”
9 and she saith, 'I do certainly go with thee; only, surely thy glory is not on the way which thou art going, for into the hand of a woman doth Jehovah sell Sisera;' and Deborah riseth and goeth with Barak to Kedesh.
Debora nowachone niya, “Mano kare, abiro dhi kodi. To nikech yo ma itimoe gini duongʼ, ok nobed mari, nimar Jehova Nyasaye nochiw Sisera ne dhako.” Omiyo Debora nodhi gi Barak nyaka Kedesh,
10 And Barak calleth Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and he goeth up — at his feet [are] ten thousand men — and Deborah goeth up with him.
kama noluonge Zebulun kod Naftali. Ji alufu apar noluwo bangʼe, kendo Debora bende nodhi kode.
11 And Heber the Kenite hath been separated from the Kenite, from the sons of Hobab father-in-law of Moses, and he stretcheth out his tent unto the oak in Zaanaim, which [is] by Kedesh.
Koro Heber ja-Keni noseweyo jo-Keni ma nyikwa Hobab, ma en or Musa, kendo oguro hembe machiegni gi yien maduongʼ man Zananim but Kedesh.
12 And they declare to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam hath gone up to mount Tabor,
Kane ginyiso Sisera ni Barak wuod Abinoam nosedhi Got Tabor,
13 and Sisera calleth all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who [are] with him, from Harosheth of the Goyim, unto the brook Kishon.
Sisera nochoko kanyakla gechene mag chuma mia ochiko kod chwo duto kode, koa Harosheth Hagoyim nyaka e Aora Kishon.
14 And Deborah saith unto Barak, 'Rise, for this [is] the day in which Jehovah hath given Sisera into thy hand; hath not Jehovah gone out before thee?' And Barak goeth down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Eka Debora nowachone Barak niya, “Dhiyo! Ma e odiechiengʼ ma Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo Sisera e lweti. Donge Jehova Nyasaye osedhi nyimi?” Omiyo Barak nodhi e Got Tabor, kiluwe gi ji alufu apar.
15 And Jehovah destroyeth Sisera, and all the chariots, and all the camp, by the mouth of the sword, before Barak, and Sisera cometh down from off the chariot, and fleeth on his feet.
Kaka Barak ne sudo machiegni, Jehova Nyasaye nogoyo Sisera, jolweny mage kod gechene gi kihondko kendo Sisera nojwangʼo gache mi oringo gi tiende.
16 And Barak hath pursued after the chariots and after the camp, unto Harosheth of the Goyim, and all the camp of Sisera falleth by the mouth of the sword — there hath not been left even one.
To Barak nodhi nyime gi lawo geche kod jolweny ma ochopo Harosheth Hagoyim. Oganda lweny duto mar Sisera noneg gi ligangla; kendo onge ngʼama notony.
17 And Sisera hath fled on his feet unto the tent of Jael wife of Heber the Kenite, for peace [is] between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite;
Kata kamano, Sisera, noringo nyaka e hemb Jael, ma chi Heber ja-Keni, nikech ne nitie osiep e kind Jabin ruodh Hazor kod anywola Heber ja-Keni.
18 and Jael goeth out to meet Sisera, and saith unto him, 'Turn aside, my lord, turn aside unto me, fear not;' and he turneth aside unto her, into the tent, and she covereth him with a coverlet.
Jael nowuok mondo orom gi Sisera kendo owachone niya, “Bi, ruodha, donji. Kik iluor.” Omiyo nodonjo ei hembe, kendo noume.
19 And he saith unto her, 'Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water, for I am thirsty;' and she openeth the bottle of milk, and giveth him to drink, and covereth him.
Nowacho niya, “Awinjo riyo. Kiyie to miya pi amodhi.” Noyawo chupa mar chak, momiye omadho, bangʼe oume kendo.
20 And he saith unto her, 'Stand at the opening of the tent, and it hath been, if any doth come in, and hath asked thee, and said, Is there a man here? that thou hast said, There is not.'
Nowachone niya, “Chungʼ e dhood hema. Ka ngʼato obiro kendo openji ni, ‘Bende ngʼato nitiere ka?’ To wachne ni, ‘Ooyo.’”
21 And Jael wife of Heber taketh the pin of the tent, and taketh the hammer in her hand, and goeth unto him gently, and striketh the pin into his temples, and it fasteneth in the earth — and he hath been fast asleep, and is weary — and he dieth.
Jael, ma chi Heber, nokawo sigingi mar hema kod nyundo kendo nodhi ire mapiyo kama nindo nogoye ngoga, kendo ool. Nopowo iye gi sigingino nyaka e lowo, mi otho.
22 And lo, Barak is pursuing Sisera, and Jael cometh out to meet him, and saith to him, 'Come, and I shew thee the man whom thou art seeking;' and he cometh in unto her, and lo, Sisera is fallen — dead, and the pin in his temples.
Barak nobiro kolawo Sisera, kendo Jael nowuok mondo orom kode. Nowachone niya, “Bi, abiro nyisi ngʼat ma imanyo.” Omiyo nodhi kode, kendo kanyo Sisera nonindo gi sigingi kopowo iye kosetho.
23 And God humbleth on that day Jabin king of Canaan before the sons of Israel,
E odiechiengno Nyasaye nomako Jabin, ruodh Kanaan, e nyim jo-Israel.
24 and the hand of the sons of Israel goeth, going on and becoming hard on Jabin king of Canaan, till that they have cut off Jabin king of Canaan.
Chakre e kindeno Israel nobedo motegno mine giloyo Jabin ruodh Kanaan.
