< Jij 4 >

1 Alò, fis Israël yo ankò te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, apre Éhud te fin mouri.
And the children of Israel continued to do evil against the Lord; and Aod was dead.
2 Konsa, SENYÈ a te vann yo nan men a Jabin, wa Kananeyen an, ki te renye nan Hatsor. Kòmandan lame li a te Sisera, ki te rete Haroscheth-Goïm.
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 Fis Israël yo te kriye a SENYÈ a, paske li te gen nèf san cha fèt an fè, e avèk severite, li te oprime fis Israël yo pandan ventan.
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 Alò, Débora, yon pwofetès, madanm a Lappidoth, t ap jije Israël nan tan sila a.
And Debbora, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, —she judged Israel at that time.
5 Li te konn chita anba pye palmis a Débora a antre Rama avèk Béthel nan peyi ti kolin Ephraïm yo, epi fis Israël yo te kon vin vè li pou l fè jijman.
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 judgment.
6 Alò, li te voye kòmande Barak, fis a Abinoam nan, pou l soti nan Kedesh-Nephtali. Li te di l: “Veye byen, SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, te kòmande: “Ale mache vè Mòn Thabor e pran avèk ou di-mil lòm soti nan fis a Nephtali yo ak fis a Zabulon yo.
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 Mwen va atire fè vin parèt Sisera, kòmandan lame Jabin nan vini avèk cha li yo ak anpil sòlda yo vè larivyè Kishon, e mwen va mete li nan men ou.”
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 Alò, Barak te di li: “Si ou prale avèk mwen, alò, m ap prale, men si ou pa prale avè m, mwen pa p prale.”
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 Li te di: “Mwen va vrèman ale avèk ou. Malgre, lonè p ap pou ou nan vwayaj ke w ap fè a, paske SENYÈ a va vann Sisera nan men a yon fanm.” Konsa, Débora te leve e te ale avèk Barak pou rive Kédesch.
And she said, I will surely go with you; but know that your honor 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 Barak te rele Zabulon ak Nephtali ansanm pou rive Kédesch, epi di-mil lòm te monte avèk li. Anplis, Débora te monte avèk li.
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 Alò, Héber, Kenyen an te rete apa de Kenyen yo, fis Hobab yo, bòpè Moïse la, e te monte tant li byen lwen jis nan bwatchenn ki nan Tsaannaïm nan, ki toupre Kédesch la.
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 Yo te di Sisera ke Barak, fis a Abinoam nan, te monte vè Mòn Thabor.
And it was told Sisara that Barac the son of Abineem was gone up to mount Thabor.
13 Sisera te rele ansanm tout cha li yo, nèf-san cha an fè ak tout pèp ki te avèk li yo, soti nan Haroscheth de Goïm yo jis rive nan larivyè Kishon.
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 Debora te di a Barak: “Leve! Paske sa se jou nan sila SENYÈ a vin mete Sisera nan men ou! Veye byen, SENYÈ a gen tan sòti devan ou.” Konsa Barak te sòti desann Mòn Thabor avèk di-mil lòm ki t ap swiv li.
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 SENYÈ a te boulvèse Sisera avèk tout cha yo ak tout lame a avèk lam nepe devan Barak, epi Sisera te desann cha li e te sove ale a pye.
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 Men Barak te kouri dèyè cha yo avèk lame a jis rive Haroscheth-Goïm e tout lame Sisera a te tonbe pa lam nepe. Nanpwen youn ki te rete.
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 Alò, Sisera te sove ale sòti nan pye a tant Jaël la, madanm a Héber a, Kenyen an; paske te gen lapè antre Jabin, wa Hatsor a ak lakay Héber, Kenyen an.
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 Jaël te sòti deyò pou rankontre Sisera, e li te di li: “Vire akote, mèt mwen, vire akote vè mwen! Pa pè.” Epi li te vire akote li nan tant lan, e li te kouvri li avèk yon tapi.
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 Li te di li: “Souple, ban mwen yon ti dlo pou m bwè; paske mwen swaf.” Konsa, li te ouvri yon boutèy lèt pou te bay li bwè ladann, epi li te kouvri li.
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 Li te di li: “Kanpe nan pòtay tant lan, epi li va rive ke si yon moun vin mande ou, e di: ‘Èske gen moun la a?’ Ou va di: ‘Non.’”
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 Men Jaël, madanm a Héber a, te pran yon pikèt tant lan. Li te pran yon mato nan men li, e li te pwoche li dousman. Konsa, li te frape pikèt la fè l kreve tèt li jis rive atè, paske li te fatige nèt e li t ap dòmi. Konsa, li te mouri.
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 Epi veye byen, pandan Barak t ap kouri dèyè Sisera, Jaël te parèt deyò e te di l: “Vini pou mwen montre ou nonm ke w ap chache a.” Epi li te antre avèk li. Vwala, Sisera te kouche la mouri nèt avèk pikèt tant lan nan fon li.
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 Konsa, Bondye te imilye, nan jou sa a, Jabin, wa Kananeyen an, devan fis Israël yo.
So God routed Jabin king of Chanaan in that day before the children of Israel.
24 Men lan a fis Israël yo te peze pi lou e pi lou sou Jabin, wa Kananeyen an, jiskaske yo te detwi Jabin, wa Kananeyen an.
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.
