Lunakanawai 4
1 HANA hewa hou aku la na mamo a Iseraela imua o Iehova, mahope iho o ka make ana o Ehuda.
After Ehud died, the Israelis again started doing things Yahweh said were very evil.
2 Hoolilo aku la o Iehova ia lakou i ka lima o Iabina, ke alii o Kanaana i noho alii ma Hazora; o Sisera ka alihikana no kona poe koa, a noho no ia ma Harosetagoima.
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 Kahea aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova, no ka mea, eiwa haneri ona kaakaua hao. Hookaumaha loa oia i na mamo a Iseraela, he iwakalua makahiki.
Sisera’s [army] had 900 chariots. For 20 years he oppressed the Israelis. Then they pleaded to Yahweh to help them.
4 O Debora, he kaula wahine, ka wahine a Lapidota, oia ka i hooponopono i ka Iseraela, ia manawa.
At that time Deborah, who was the wife of Lappidoth, was a prophetess who had become the leader in Israel.
5 Noho iho la ia malalo iho o ka laau pama o Debora, mawaena o Harama a me Betela, ma ka mauna o Eperaima; a hele mai la na mamo a Iseraela io na la i hooponoponoia mai.
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 Hoouna oia, a kii aku la ia Baraka, ke keiki a Abinoama, ma Kedesa-Napetali, i ae la ia ia, Aole anei i kauoha mai o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, O hele, e hookokoke aku ma ka mauna o Tabora; e lawe pu me oe, i umi tausani kanaka, na mamo a Napetali, a o na mamo a Zebuluna.
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 A na'u no e kai mai imua ou, ma ke kahawai o Kisona, ia Sisera, ka luna o ko Iabina poe koa, me kona poe kaakaua, a me kona lehulehu; a e haawi aku no au ia ia i kou lima.
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 I ae la o Baraka ia ia, Ina e hele pu oe me au, alaila, hele au; a i ole oe e hele pu me au, alaila, aole au e hele.
Barak replied, “I will go only if you go with me.”
9 I aku la oia, I ka hele ana, e hele pu no au me oe. Aka, o keia hele ana au e hele ai, aole oe e hoonaniia ilaila, no ka mea, e haawi ana o Iehova ia Sisera i ka lima o kekahi wahine. Ku ae la o Debora, a hele pu aku la me Baraka i Kedesa.
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 Hoakoakoa mai la o Baraka i ka Zebuluna, a me ka Napetali i Kedesa; a pii pu aku la ia me na kanaka, he umi tausani, ma kona wawae, a pii pu aku la o Debora me ia.
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 O Hebera no ko Kena, no na mamo a Hobaba, ka makuahonowaikane o Mose, ua hookaawale oia ia ia iho, mai ko Kena aku, a ua hoomoana ae oia ma na papu o Zaanaima, e kokoke ana ia kedesa.
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 Hoike ae la lakou ia Sisera, ua pii aku o Baraka, ke keiki a Abinoama i ka mauna o Tabora.
Someone told Sisera that Barak had gone up on Tabor Mountain [with an army].
13 Kii aku la o Sisera i kona mau kaakaua a pau loa, eiwa haneri kaa hao, a me kona poe kanaka a pau loa, mai Harosetagoima a hiki i ke kahawai o Kisona.
So he gathered his troops with their 900 chariots, and they marched from Harosheth-Haggoyim to the Kishon River.
14 I ae la o Debora ia Baraka, E ku mai; no ka mea, eia ka la e haswi mai ai o Iehova ia Sisera i kou lima. Aole anei i hele aku o Iehova mamua ou? Iho aku la o Baraka, mai ka mauna o Tabora aku, a me na kanaka he umi tausani pu me ia.
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 Hooauhee aku la o Iehova ia Sisera, a me na kaa a pau, a me ka puali a pau imua o Baraka, me ka maka o ka pahikaua. Iho iho la o Sisera, mai ke kaakaua iho, a holo aku la ma kona wawae.
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 Hahai aku la o Baraka mahope o na kaakaua, a mahope o ka puali, a hiki i Harosetagoima. A haule iho la ka puali a pau o Sisera, ma ka maka o ka pahikaua, aole hookahi kanaka i koe.
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 Holo aku la o Sisera ma kona wawae, a i ka halelewa o Iaela ka wahine a Hebera no ko Kena; no ka mea, ua noho kuikahi o Iabina, ke alii o Hazora me ka poe o Hebera no ko Kena.
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 Hele aku o Iaela iwaho e halawai me Sisera, i aku la ia ia, E kipa mai oe, e kuu haku, e kipa mai oe iloko, ma o'u nei; mai makau. Kipa ae la oia ma ona la, iloko o ka halelewa, a uhi mai la oia ia ia i ke kapa moe.
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 I mai la kela, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e haawi mai oe ia'u i wahi wai uuku e inu, no ka mea, ua makewai au. Wehe ae la oia i ka hue waiu, hooinu aku la, a uhi iho la ia ia.
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 Olelo hou mai kela ia ia, E ku oe ma ka puka o ka halelewa, a hiki i ka manawa e hele mai ai ke kanaka e ninau mai ia oe, i ka i ana mai, He kanaka anei maanei? e i aku oe, Aole.
He said to her, “Stand in the entrance of the tent. If someone comes and asks ‘Is anyone else here?’, say ‘No.’”
21 Lalau iho la o Iaela, ka wahine a Hebera, i ke kui o ka halelewa, a kau ka hamare ma kekahi lima ona, a hele malu aku la io na la, a makia iho la i kona maha i ke kui, a paa i ka lepo; no ka mea, ua hiamoe paa loa ia, i kona una ana. A make no ia.
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 Aia hoi, i ko Baraka hahai ana ia Sisera, puka mai o Iaela iwaho, e halawai me ia, i ae la ia ia, E hele mai a e hoike aku au ia oe i ke kanaka au e imi nei. Komo aku la ia io na la, aia hoi, e waiho ana ia, ua make, a o ke kui hoi, aia no iloko o kona maha.
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 Ia la no, hoopio aku la ke Akua ia Iabina, ke alii o Kanaana imua o na mamo a Iseraela.
On that day God enabled the Israelis to defeat [the army of] Jabin, the king of the people of Canaan.
24 Lanakila aku la ka lima o na mamo a Iseraela, a kaumaha iho la maluna o Iabina ke alii o Kanaana, a hiki i ka wa i oki hoopau ai lakou ia Iabina, i ke alii o Kanaana.
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.
