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 again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud 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 them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelled in Harosheth 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: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
4 Na rĩrĩ, Debora, mũnabii mũndũ-wa-nja, mũtumia wa Lapidothu, nĩwe watongoragia Isiraeli hĩndĩ ĩyo.
And Deborah, 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 dwelled under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
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 she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said to him, Has not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
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 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.
8 Nake Baraka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũthiĩ aakorwo nĩũgũtwarana hamwe na niĩ; no aakorwo ndũgũtwarana hamwe na niĩ-rĩ, o na niĩ ndigũthiĩ.”
And Barak said to her, If you will go with me, then I will go: but if you will not go with me, then I will not go.
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: notwithstanding the journey that you take shall not be for your honor; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 na kũu Baraka agĩĩta andũ a Zebuluni na a Nafitali. Andũ 10,000 makĩmũrũmĩrĩra, o na Debora agĩthiĩ hamwe nake.
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.
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.
Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent to the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
12 Nao andũ makĩhe Sisera ũhoro, atĩ Baraka mũrũ wa Abinoamu nĩambatĩte agakinya Kĩrĩma gĩa Taboru.
And they showed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
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 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.
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 Deborah said to Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand: is not the LORD gone out before you? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, 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 Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away 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.
But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, to Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell on the edge of the sword; and there was not a man 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.
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.
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 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.
19 Sisera akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ mũnyootu, ndagũthaitha he maaĩ nyue.” Jaeli agĩkunũra mbũthũ ya iria, akĩmũhe anyue, agĩcooka akĩmũhumbĩra.
And he 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 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.’”
Again he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man does come and inquire of you, and say, Is there any man here? that you shall say, No.
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.
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.
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, 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. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
23 Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩguo Ngai aatooririe Jabini, mũthamaki wa andũ a Kaanani, mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli.
So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan 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 prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
