< 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 again did evil in the sight of the LORD, after Ehud 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 them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan that reigned in Hazor, the captain of whose host [was] Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth 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; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
4 Alò, Débora, yon pwofetès, madanm a Lappidoth, t ap jije Israël nan tan sila a.
And Deborah, 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 dwelt under the palm-tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Beth-el in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came 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 she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, [saying], Go, and draw towards mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali, and of the children of Zebulun?
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 draw to thee, to the river Kishon, Sisera the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thy hand.
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 Barak said to her, if thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, [then] I will not go.
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 thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thy honor; for the LORD will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
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 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 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.
Now Heber the Kenite, [who 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 Yo te di Sisera ke Barak, fis a Abinoam nan, te monte vè Mòn Thabor.
And they showed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to mount Tabor.
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 Sisera collected 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 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 Deborah said to Barak, Arise, for this [is] the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thy hand: hath not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, 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 Sisera, and all [his] chariots, and all [his] host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera alighted from [his] chariot, and fled away 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.
But Barak pursued the chariots, and the host, to Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; [and] there was not a man 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.
Howbeit, 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 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 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 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 he said to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him 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.’”
Again he said to her, stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
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.
Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a nail of the tent, and took a 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 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, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her [tent], behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail [was] in his temples.
23 Konsa, Bondye te imilye, nan jou sa a, Jabin, wa Kananeyen an, devan fis Israël yo.
So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan 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 prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
