Ndị Ikpe 4
1 Mgbe Ehud nwụsịrị, ụmụ Izrel mekwara ihe ọjọọ megide Onyenwe anyị.
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; now Ehud was dead.
2 Nʼihi ya, Onyenwe anyị renyere ha nʼaka Jabin, eze Kenan, onye chịrị nʼobodo Hazọ. Aha onyeisi ndị agha ya bụ Sisera, onye bi nʼobodo a na-akpọ Heroshet Hagoyim.
And Jehovah sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; and the captain of his army was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth-Goim.
3 Nʼihi na o nwere narị ụgbọ agha igwe itoolu, ma megbukwaa ụmụ Izrel nke ukwu iri afọ abụọ, ha tikuru Onyenwe anyị mkpu akwa, ka o nyere ha aka.
And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he mightily oppressed the children of Israel twenty years.
4 Nʼoge a, Debọra, bụ nwanyị na-ebu amụma, nwunye Lapidọt bụ onyendu ụmụ Izrel.
And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, judged Israel at that time.
5 Ọ na-anọ nʼokpuru osisi nkwụ a na-akpọ Nkwụ Debọra, nke dị nʼagbata Rema na Betel, bụ nʼala ugwu ugwu Ifrem na-ekpe ikpe. Nʼebe ahụ ka ụmụ Izrel na-ejekwuru ya ka o doziere ha okwu ha niile.
And she dwelt 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 O ziri ozi kpọọ Barak, nwa Abinoam, onye bi nʼobodo Kedesh, nke dị nʼime Naftalị, ọ sịrị ya, “Onyenwe anyị Chineke ụmụ Izrel na-enye gị iwu, ‘Gaa chịkọtaa puku ndị agha iri bụ ndị sitere nʼebo Naftalị na Zebụlọn, duru ha jeruo ugwu Taboa.
And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-Naphtali, and said to him, Hath not Jehovah the God of Israel commanded? 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 Aga m edute Sisera, ọchịagha ndị agha Jabin, mee ka ọ bịaruo nso iyi ukwu Kishọn, ya na ụgbọ agha ya niile na ndị agha ya niile ma nyefee ha nʼaka gị.’”
and I will draw unto thee, to the torrent Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, and his chariots and his multitude, and I will give him into thy hand.
8 Barak sịrị ya, “Ejikeere m ịga ma ọ bụrụ na ị ga-eso m. Ọ bụrụkwanụ na ị jụ iso m, agaghị m aga.”
And Barak said to her, If thou goest with me, then I will go, but if thou goest not with me, I will not go.
9 Debọra sịrị, “Aghaghị m isoro gị jee ma nʼihi mkpebi gị nʼihe a, nsọpụrụ agaghị abụ nke gị, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ga-enyefe Sisera nʼaka nwanyị.” Ya mere, Debọra biliri soro Barak jee obodo Kedesh.
And she said, I will by all means go with thee, only that it will not be to thine honour upon the way which thou goest, for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 Barak sitere nʼebo Zebụlọn na Naftalị kpọkọtaa ndị ikom ga-eso ya jee agha ahụ, puku ndị agha iri ndị dịnyere ya. Debọra sokwa ya jee.
And Barak called together Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and there went up at his feet ten thousand men; and Deborah went up with him.
11 Nʼoge a, Heba, onye Ken, ahapụla ndị Ken ndị ọzọ, ndị bụ ụmụ ụmụ Hobab, nwanne nwunye Mosis gaa maa ụlọ ikwu ya nʼokpuru osisi ukwu dị na Zaananim, nke dị nso Kedesh.
(Now Heber the Kenite had severed himself from the Kenites, from the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak of Zaannaim, which is by Kedesh.)
12 Mgbe ha gwara Sisera na Barak nwa Abinoam arịgorola nʼelu ugwu Taboa,
And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to mount Tabor.
13 Sisera kpọkọtara ndị agha ya niile, tinyere narị ụgbọ agha itoolu ya, site na Haroshet Haroyim gaa nʼiyi ukwu Kishọn.
Then Sisera gathered together all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth-Goim to the torrent Kishon.
14 Mgbe ahụ, Debọra sịrị Barak, “Gaa nʼihu! Taa bụ ụbọchị nke Onyenwe anyị nyefere Sisera nʼaka gị. Ọ bụ na Onyenwe anyị apụbeghị jee nʼihu gị?” Nʼihi nke a, Barak duuru puku ndị agha iri ahụ gbada ndịda ugwu Taboa.
And Deborah said to Barak, Up; for this is the day in which Jehovah hath given Sisera into thy hand! Is not Jehovah gone out before thee? And Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị jiri mma agha ya chụsaa Sisera na ndị agha ya na ụgbọ agha igwe ha nʼihu Barak. Sisera nʼonwe ya hapụrụ ụgbọ agha ya jiri ụkwụ gbapụ ọsọ.
And Jehovah discomfited Sisera, and all the chariots, and all the army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera got down from [his] chariot, and fled on foot.
16 Barak na ndị agha ya chụrụ ndị agha ahụ ọsọ, ha na ụgbọ agha igwe ha niile, chụruo ha Haroshet Hagoyim. Ha ji mma agha tigbuo ndị agha Sisera niile. Ọ dịkwaghị otu onye nʼime ha fọdụrụ ndụ.
And Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, to Harosheth-Goim; and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not one was left.
17 Ma Sisera gbapụrụ ọsọ gaa zoo onwe ya nʼụlọ ikwu Jael, nwunye Heba, onye Ken. Nʼihi udo dị nʼetiti eze Jabin, onye Hazọ, na ndị ezinaụlọ Heba, onye Ken.
And Sisera fled on foot 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 Jael pụrụ ije zute Sisera sị ya, “Bịa Onyenwe m, bakwute m. Atụla ụjọ.” Ya mere na ọ bara nʼime ụlọ ikwu ya, o weere akwa ịchụ oyi kpuchie ya.
And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And he turned in to her, into the tent, and she covered him with the quilt.
19 Mgbe ahụ, ọ sịrị ya, “Akpịrị na-akpọ m nkụ, nyetụ m mmiri ka m ṅụọ.” O meghere karama akpụkpọ mmiri ara ehi, nye ya ihe ọṅụṅụ, jirikwa akwa ahụ sachie ya.
And he said to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty. And she opened the flask of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
20 Sisera gwara nwanyị ahụ bụ Jael okwu sị, “Guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ ụlọ a. Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla abịa jụọ gị, ‘O nwere onye gbabatara nʼebe a?’ sị ya, ‘Mba.’”
And he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be if any one come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
21 Ike gwụrụ nnọọ Sisera. Mgbe ahụ, ọ malitere ịrahụ ụra, Jael, nwunye Heba, wepụtara otu ǹtu e ji a kpọgide ụlọ ikwu ahụ nʼala, werekwa mkpirisi igwe nʼaka ya. O jiri nwayọọ jekwuuru Sisera ebe o dina na-arahụ ụra, kpọọ ya ǹtu ahụ nʼegedege ihu ya. Otu a ka Sisera si nwụọ.
And Jael Heber's wife took a tent-pin, and took the hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and smote the pin into his temples, and it penetrated into the ground; for he had fallen into a deep sleep and was faint; and he died.
22 Mgbe Barak bịara ịchọ Sisera, Jael jekwuru ya sị, “Bịa ka m gosi gị nwoke ahụ ị na-achọ.” Barak sooro ya jee, ma lee, Sisera anwụọlarị site na ǹtu ahụ a kpọrọ ya nʼisi.
And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael went out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And he went into her [tent], and behold, Sisera lay dead, and the pin was in his temples.
23 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Chineke meriri Jabin, eze ndị Kenan nʼihu ụmụ Izrel.
So God subdued on that day Jabin king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
24 Aka ụmụ Izrel bụ nke dị ike na-adịkwa ike nke ukwu megide Jabin bụ eze Kenan ruo mgbe ha lara ya nʼiyi.
And the hand of the children of Israel ever advanced, and prevailed against Jabin king of Canaan, until they had cut off Jabin king of Canaan.
