Mahukunta 4
1 Bayan rasuwar Ehud, Isra’ilawa suka sāke aikata mugayen ayyuka a gaban Ubangiji.
After Ehud died, the Israelis again started doing things Yahweh said were very evil.
2 Saboda haka Ubangiji ya sayar da su ga Yabin sarkin Kan’ana wanda yake mulki a Hazor. Shugaban mayaƙansa shi ne Sisera, wanda yake zaune a Haroshet Haggoyim.
So he allowed the army of Jabin, one of the kings of Canaan land, who ruled in Hazor [city], to conquer the Israelis. The commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-Haggoyim.
3 Domin Yabin sarkin Kan’ana yana da kekunan yaƙin ƙarfe ɗari tara, ya ji wa Isra’ilawa ƙwarai har shekara ashirin, sai suka yi kuka ga Ubangiji, don taimako.
Sisera’s [army] had 900 chariots. For 20 years he oppressed the Israelis. Then they pleaded to Yahweh to help them.
4 A lokacin Debora annabiya, matar Laffidot ce take bi da Isra’ila.
At that time Deborah, who was the wife of Lappidoth, was a prophetess who had become the leader in Israel.
5 Takan yi zaman shari’a a ƙarƙashin Dabinon Debora tsakanin Rama da Betel, a ƙasar tudu ta Efraim, Isra’ilawa kuwa sukan zo wurinta don tă yi musu shari’a.
She would sit under her palm tree at a place between Ramah and Bethel, in the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim lived, and people would come to her and ask her to settle disputes between them.
6 Sai ta aika a kira mata Barak ɗan Abinowam daga Kedesh a Naftali, ta ce masa, “Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya umarce ka, ‘Je ka, ka ɗauki mutane Naftali da na Zebulun dubu goma tare da kai, ka yi jagoransu zuwa Dutse Tabor.
One day she summoned Barak, the son of Abinoam, when he was in Kedesh, in the area where the descendants of Naphtali lived. She said to him, “This is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship, is commanding you to do: ‘Take with you 1,000 men, some from the descendants of Naphtali and some from the descendants of Zebulun, and lead them to Tabor Mountain.
7 Zan jawo Sisera, shugaban mayaƙan Yabin, da keken yaƙinsa da mayaƙansa zuwa Kogin Kishon in ba da su a hannunku.’”
Yahweh will lure Sisera, the commander of King Jabin’s army, to come with his chariots and his army, to the Kishon River, [a few miles away]. I will enable your men to defeat them there.’”
8 Barak ya ce, “In kika tafi tare da ni, zan tafi; amma in ba ki zo tare da ni ba, ba zan tafi ba.”
Barak replied, “I will go only if you go with me.”
9 Debora ta ce, “To, shi ke nan, zan tafi tare da kai. Amma saboda yadda ka ɗauki wannan batun, darajar ba za tă zama taka ba, gama Ubangiji zai ba da Sisera a hannun mace.” Saboda haka Debora ta tafi tare da Barak zuwa Kedesh,
She replied, “Okay, I will go with you. But because that is what you have decided to do, Yahweh will enable a woman to defeat Sisera, and the result will be that (you will not be honored/people will not honor you) [for doing that].”
10 a can Barak ya kira Zebulun da Naftali. Mutum dubu goma suka kuma bi shi, Debora kuma tana tare da shi.
So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh. There he summoned men from Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men came to him, and then they went together with Deborah [to Tabor Mountain].
11 To, Heber Bakene ya riga ya bar Keniyawa, zuriyar Hobab, ɗan’uwan matar Musa, ya kafa tentinsa wajen babban itace a Za’anannim kusa da Kedesh.
At that time Heber, one of the descendants of the Ken people-group, had moved [with his wife Jael] from the area where that group lived, and set up his tent near the big oak tree at Zaanannim, near Kedesh. Heber was a descendant of Moses’ brother-in-law Hobab.
12 Sa’ad da aka gaya wa Sisera cewa Barak ɗan Abinowam ya haura zuwa dutsen Tabor,
Someone told Sisera that Barak had gone up on Tabor Mountain [with an army].
13 sai Sisera ya tattara keken yaƙinsa na ƙarfe ɗari tara wuri ɗaya da dukan mutanen da suke tare da shi daga Haroshet Haggoyim zuwa Kogin Kishon.
So he gathered his troops with their 900 chariots, and they marched from Harosheth-Haggoyim to the Kishon River.
14 Sa’an nan Debora ta ce wa Barak, “Je ka! Wannan ita ce ranar da Ubangiji ya ba da Sisera a hannunka. Ba Ubangiji ya riga ya sha gabanka?” Saboda haka Barak ya gangara zuwa Dutsen Tabor, da mutum dubu goma biye da shi.
Then Deborah said to Barak, “Get ready! This is the day that Yahweh will enable your [army] to defeat the army of Sisera. Yahweh is going ahead of you!” So Barak led his men as they descended from Tabor Mountain.
15 Da matsowar Barak, Ubangiji ya murƙushe Sisera da dukan sarakunansa da mayaƙansa da takobi, Sisera kuwa ya gudu da ƙafa ya bar keken yaƙinsa.
As they advanced, Yahweh caused Sisera and all his chariots and his army to have great difficulty maneuvering/moving around. So Sisera jumped down from his chariot and ran away.
16 Amma Barak ya bi keken yaƙin da mayaƙan har Haroshet Haggoyim. Aka karkashe dukan mayaƙan Sisera ba ko ɗayan da ya tsira.
But Barak and his men pursued the other chariots and the enemy soldiers as far as Harosheth-Haggoyim. They killed all of the men in Sisera’s army. Not one man survived.
17 Amma Sisera, ya tsere da ƙafa zuwa tentin Yayel, matar Heber Bakene, domin suna da abokantaka da Yabin sarkin Hazor da kuma kabilar Heber Bakene.
But Sisera ran to Jael’s tent. He did that because [his boss], King Jabin of Hazor [city], was a good friend of [Jael’s husband] Heber.
18 Yayel ta fito ta taryi Sisera ta ce masa, “Ranka yă daɗe, ka shigo, ka shigo ciki. Kada ka ji tsoro.” Saboda haka ya shiga cikin tentinta, sai ta rufe shi da bargo.
Jael went out to greet Sisera. She said to him, “Sir, come into my tent! Do not be afraid!” So he went into the tent [and lay down], and she covered him with a blanket.
19 Sai ya ce, “Ina roƙonki, ki ba ni ruwa in sha, ina jin ƙishirwa.” Sai ta buɗe salkar madara, ta ba shi ya sha, sai ta kuma rufe shi.
He said to her, “I’m thirsty; can you give me some water?” So she opened a leather container of milk, and gave him a drink. Then she covered him with the blanket again.
20 Ya ce mata, “Ki tsaya a ƙofar tenti, in wani ya zo ya tambaye ki, ‘Akwai wani a nan?’ Ki ce masa ‘a’a.’”
He said to her, “Stand in the entrance of the tent. If someone comes and asks ‘Is anyone else here?’, say ‘No.’”
21 Amma Yayel, matar Heber, ta ɗauki turken tenti da guduma ta tafi wurinsa da sauri sa’ad da yake barci saboda gajiya. Ta kafa masa turken a gindin kunnensa ta haɗa shi da ƙasa, har ya mutu.
Sisera was very exhausted, so he soon was asleep. While he was sleeping, Jael crept quietly to him, holding a hammer and a tent peg. She pounded the peg into his skull, and all the way through his head into the ground, and he died.
22 Sai ga Barak mai bin sawun Sisera, Yayel kuwa ta fito don marabtarsa, ta ce, “Shigo, zan nuna maka mutumin da kake nema.” Saboda haka ya shiga ciki tare da ita, sai ga Sisera kwance da turken a gindin kunnensa, matacce.
When Barak passed by Jael’s tent to look for Sisera, she went out to greet him. She said, “Come in, and I will show you the man you are searching for!” So he followed her into the tent, and he saw Sisera lying there, dead, with the tent peg through his head.
23 A ranar Allah ya yi kaca-kaca da Yabin, sarkin Kan’ana a gaban Isra’ila.
On that day God enabled the Israelis to defeat [the army of] Jabin, the king of the people of Canaan.
24 Isra’ilawa kuwa suka ƙara ƙarfi gāba da Yabin, sarkin Kan’aniyawa, har suka hallaka shi.
From that time, the Israeli people continued to become stronger, and [the army of] King Jabin continued to become weaker. Finally the Israelis were able to completely subdue the people ruled by the king of Canaan.
