Ndị Ikpe 4
1 Mgbe Ehud nwụsịrị, ụmụ Izrel mekwara ihe ọjọọ megide Onyenwe anyị.
And the children of Israel again did the evil in the eyes of the Lord, when 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 the Lord sold them into the hand of Yabin the king of Canaan, that reigned in Chazor; and the captain of his army was Sissera, who dwelt in Charosheth-hagoyim.
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 unto the Lord; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he oppressed the children of Israel with might 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, —she 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 held her sitting under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el on the mountain of 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 Abino'am out of Kedesh-naphtali; and she said unto him, Behold, the Lord the God of Israel hath commanded, Go and lead on toward 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 brook Kishon, Sissera, the captain of Yabin's army, and his chariots and his multitude; and I will give him up 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 unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then will I go; but if thou wilt not go 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 indeed go with thee; nevertheless it will not be for thy honor, on the way which thou goest; for into the hand of a woman will the Lord deliver Sissera; 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 Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up in his train ten thousand men; also 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 Cheber the Kenite had severed himself from the Kenites, from the children of Chobab the father-in-law of Moses; and he had pitched his tent as far as Elon-beza'anannim, which is near Kedesh.
12 Mgbe ha gwara Sisera na Barak nwa Abinoam arịgorola nʼelu ugwu Taboa,
And they told Sissera that Barak the son of Abino'am was 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.
And Sissera called together all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Charosheth-hagoyim unto the brook 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 unto Barak, Up! for this is the day on which the Lord hath given Sissera into thy hand; behold, the Lord is gone out before thee: so Barak went down from mount Tabor, with 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 the Lord confounded Sissera, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sissera alighted from his chariot, and fled away 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, unto Charosheth-hagoyim: and all the army of Sissera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not left even one.
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.
But Sissera had fled away on foot to the tent of Ja'el the wife of Cheber the Kenite; for there was peace between Yabin the king of Chazor and the house of Cheber 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 Ja'el went out to meet Sissera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in unto me, fear not: and he turned in unto her into the tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
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 unto her, Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water; for I am thirsty: and she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him up.
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 unto her, Stand at the door of the tent; and it shall be, that, when any man should come and ask of thee, and say, Is there any man here? 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 Ja'el the wife of Cheber took thereupon the nail of the tent, and placed a hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and struck the nail into his temple, and it became fastened in the ground; but he was fast asleep and weary; so 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, Barak came in pursuit of Sissera, and Ja'el came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou art seeking: and he came to her, and behold, Sissera was lying dead, with the nail in his temple.
23 Nʼụbọchị ahụ, Chineke meriri Jabin, eze ndị Kenan nʼihu ụmụ Izrel.
So did God humble on that day Yabin the 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 became constantly heavier upon Yabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Yabin the king of Canaan.
