< Atiirĩrĩri 4 >
1 Thuutha wa Ehudu gũkua-rĩ, andũ a Isiraeli o rĩngĩ magĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
And the children of Israel continued to do evil against the Lord; and Aod was dead.
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩmarekereria moko-inĩ ma Jabini, mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Kaanani ũrĩa waathanaga kũu Hazoru. Nake mũnene wa mbũtũ ciake cia mbaara eetagwo Sisera, ũrĩa watũũraga kũu Haroshethu-Hagoyimu.
And the Lord sold the children of Israel into the hand of Jabin king of Chanaan, who ruled in Asor; and the chief of his host was Sisara, and he lived in Arisoth of the Gentiles.
3 Jabini aarĩ na ngaari cia ita cia igera magana kenda, na nĩahinyĩrĩirie andũ a Isiraeli atarĩ na tha ihinda rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ, nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩkaĩra Jehova amateithie.
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord, because he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he mightily oppressed Israel twenty years.
4 Na rĩrĩ, Debora, mũnabii mũndũ-wa-nja, mũtumia wa Lapidothu, nĩwe watongoragia Isiraeli hĩndĩ ĩyo.
And Debbora, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, —she judged Israel at that time.
5 Nake aarĩ na handũ ha gũciirĩra rungu rwa Mũkĩndũ wa Debora, gatagatĩ ka Rama na Betheli kũu bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Efiraimu, nao andũ a Isiraeli maathiiaga harĩ we nĩgeetha amatuithanie maciira.
And she sat under the palm tree of Debbora between Rama and Baethel in mount Ephraim; and the children of Israel went up to her for judgement.
6 Debora agĩtũmanĩra Baraka mũrũ wa Abinoamu kuuma Kedeshi ya Nafitali, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli nĩaragwatha agakwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Thiĩ, woe andũ 10,000 a kuuma Nafitali na Zebuluni, na ũmatongorie nginya Kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Taboru.
And Debbora sent and called Barac the son of Abineem out of Cades Nephthali, and she said to him, Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded you? and you shall depart to mount Thabor, and shall take with yourself ten thousand men of the sons of Nephthali and of the sons of Zabulon.
7 Niĩ nĩngũguucĩrĩria Sisera, mũnene wa mbũtũ cia ita cia Jabini, hamwe na ngaari ciake cia ita na thigari ciake nginya rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Kishoni, ndĩmũneane moko-inĩ maku.’”
And I will bring to you to the torrent of Kison Sisara the captain of the host of Jabin, and his chariots, and his multitude, and I will deliver them into your hands.
8 Nake Baraka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũthiĩ aakorwo nĩũgũtwarana hamwe na niĩ; no aakorwo ndũgũtwarana hamwe na niĩ-rĩ, o na niĩ ndigũthiĩ.”
And Barac said to her, If you will go with me, I will go; and if you will not go, I will not go; for I know not the day on which the Lord prospers his messenger with me.
9 Nake Debora akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ wega, nĩngũtwarana nawe. No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa ũroya ũhoro ũyũ-rĩ, gĩtĩĩo gĩtigatuĩka gĩaku, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩekũneana Sisera moko-inĩ ma mũndũ-wa-nja.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Debora agĩtwarana na Baraka nginya Kadeshi,
And she said, I will surely go with you; but know that your honour shall not attend on the expedition on which you go, for the Lord shall sell Sisara into the hands of a women: and Debbora arose, and went with Barac out of Cades.
10 na kũu Baraka agĩĩta andũ a Zebuluni na a Nafitali. Andũ 10,000 makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, o na Debora agĩthiĩ hamwe nake.
And Barac called Zabulon and Nephthali out of Cades, and there went up at his feet ten thousand men, and Debbora went up with him.
11 Na rĩrĩ, Heberi ũrĩa Mũkeni nĩeyamũrĩte agatigana na Akeni arĩa angĩ a rũciaro rwa Hobabu, mũthoni-we wa Musa, na akaamba hema yake mũtĩ-inĩ ũrĩa mũnene kũu Zaananimu gũkuhĩ na Kadeshi.
And Chaber the Kenite had removed from Caina, from the sons of Jobab the father-in-law of Moses, and pitched his tent by the oak of the covetous ones, which is near Kedes.
12 Nao andũ makĩhe Sisera ũhoro, atĩ Baraka mũrũ wa Abinoamu nĩambatĩte agakinya Kĩrĩma gĩa Taboru.
And it was told Sisara that Barac the son of Abineem was gone up to mount Thabor.
13 Sisera agĩcookanĩrĩria ngaari ciake cia ita cia igera magana kenda, hamwe na andũ othe arĩa maarĩ hamwe nake, kuuma Haroshethu-Hagoyimu nginya Rũũĩ rwa Kishoni.
And Sisara summoned all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron and all the people with him, from Arisoth of the Gentiles to the brook of Kison.
14 Nake Debora akĩĩra Baraka atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ! Ũyũ nĩguo mũthenya ũrĩa Jehova aneanĩte Sisera moko-inĩ maku. Githĩ Jehova tiwe ũthiĩte arĩ mbere yaku?” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Baraka agĩikũrũka oimĩte Kĩrĩma-inĩ gĩa Taboru, arũmĩrĩirwo nĩ andũ 10,000.
And Debbora said to Barac, Rise up, for this [is] the day on which the Lord has delivered Sisara into your hand, for the Lord shall go forth before you: and Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 Rĩrĩa Baraka aamakuhĩrĩirie, Jehova akĩingatithia Sisera hamwe na ngaari ciake cia ita ciothe, na mbũtũ yake yothe, akĩmahũũra na rũhiũ rwa njora, nake Sisera agĩtiganĩria ngaari yake ya ita, akĩũra na magũrũ.
And the Lord discomfited Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barac: and Sisara descended from off his chariot, and fled on his feet.
16 No Baraka akĩingatithia ngaari icio cia ita o hamwe na mbũtũ cia ita nginya Haroshethu-Hagoyimu. Nacio thigari ciothe cia Sisera ikĩũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora; na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe watigarire.
And Barac pursued after the chariots and after the army, into Arisoth of the Gentiles; and the whole army of Sisara fell by the edge of the sword, there was not one left.
17 No rĩrĩ, Sisera agĩĩthara na magũrũ, akĩũrĩra hema-inĩ ya Jaeli, mũtumia wa Heberi ũrĩa Mũkeni, nĩ ũndũ kwarĩ na ũrata gatagatĩ-inĩ ka Jabini mũthamaki wa Hazoru na mbarĩ ya Heberi ũcio Mũkeni.
And Sisara fled on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Chaber the Kenite his friend: for there was peace between Jabin king of Asor and the house of Chaber the Kenite.
18 Jaeli akiumagara agatũnge Sisera, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka, mwathi wakwa, toonya thĩinĩ. Ndũgetigĩre.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩtoonya hema thĩinĩ nake Jaeli akĩmũhumbĩra.
And Jael went, out to meet Sisara, and said to him, Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me, fear not: and he turned aside to her into the tent; and she covered him with a mantle.
19 Sisera akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ mũnyootu, ndagũthaitha he maaĩ nyue.” Jaeli agĩkunũra mbũthũ ya iria, akĩmũhe anyue, agĩcooka akĩmũhumbĩra.
And Sisara said to her, Give me, I pray you, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty: and she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him.
20 Sisera akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rũgama mũrango-inĩ wa hema, na hangĩũka mũndũ akũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Kũrĩ mũndũ ũrĩ gũkũ?’ uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Aca.’”
And Sisara said to her, Stand now by the door of the tent, and it shall come to pass if any man come to you, and ask of you, and say, Is there [any] man here? then you shall say, There is not.
21 No Jaeli ũcio mũtumia wa Heberi akĩoya higĩ ya hema na nyondo, agĩthiĩ acemete harĩa Sisera aakomete anogete mũno. Akĩhũũrĩrĩra higĩ ĩyo thikĩrĩrio-inĩ, ĩgĩtũrĩkania nginya igĩtoonyerera thĩ, nake agĩkua.
And Jael the wife of Chaber took a pin of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went secretly to him, and fastened the pin in his temple, and it went through to the earth, and he fainted away, and darkness fell upon him and he died.
22 Baraka agĩũka aingatithĩtie Sisera, nake Jaeli agĩthiĩ kũmũtũnga. Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka, nĩngũkuonia mũndũ ũrĩa ũracaria.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Baraka agĩtoonya hamwe na Jaeli, na agĩkora Sisera akomete thĩ arĩ mũkuũ nayo higĩ ĩmũtũrĩkanĩtie thikĩrĩrio.
And, behold, Barac [was] pursuing Sisara: and Jael went out to meet him, and he said to him, Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek: and he went in to her; and, behold, Sisara was fallen dead, and the pin [was] in his temple.
23 Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩguo Ngai aatooririe Jabini, mũthamaki wa andũ a Kaanani, mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli.
So God routed Jabin king of Chanaan in that day before the children of Israel.
24 Nakuo guoko kwa andũ a Isiraeli gũgĩkĩrĩrĩria kũgĩa na hinya igũrũ rĩa Jabini, mũthamaki wa andũ a Kaanani, nginya makĩmũniina biũ.
And the hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin king of Chanaan, until they utterly destroyed Jabin king of Chanaan.
