< Hakim-hakim 4 >
1 Setelah Ehud mati, orang Israel melakukan pula apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN.
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord after the death of Aod,
2 Lalu TUHAN menyerahkan mereka ke dalam tangan Yabin, raja Kanaan, yang memerintah di Hazor. Panglima tentaranya ialah Sisera yang diam di Haroset-Hagoyim.
And the Lord delivered them up into the hands of Jaban king of Chanaan, who reigned in Asor: and he had a general of his army named Sisara, and he dwelt in Haroseth of the Gentiles.
3 Lalu orang Israel berseru kepada TUHAN, sebab Sisera mempunyai sembilan ratus kereta besi dan dua puluh tahun lamanya ia menindas orang Israel dengan keras.
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots set with scythes, and for twenty years had grievously oppressed them.
4 Pada waktu itu Debora, seorang nabiah, isteri Lapidot, memerintah sebagai hakim atas orang Israel.
And there was at that time Debbora a prophetess the wife of Lapidoth, who judged the people,
5 Ia biasa duduk di bawah pohon korma Debora antara Rama dan Betel di pegunungan Efraim, dan orang Israel menghadap dia untuk berhakim kepadanya.
And she sat under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Rama and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for all judgment.
6 Ia menyuruh memanggil Barak bin Abinoam dari Kedesh di daerah Naftali, lalu berkata kepadanya: "Bukankah TUHAN, Allah Israel, memerintahkan demikian: Majulah, bergeraklah menuju gunung Tabor dengan membawa sepuluh ribu orang bani Naftali dan bani Zebulon bersama-sama dengan engkau,
And she sent and called Barac the son of Abinoem out of Cedes in Nephtali: and she said to him: The Lord God of Israel hath commanded thee: Go, and lead an army to mount Thabor, and thou shalt take with thee ten thousand fighting men of the children of Nephtali, and of the children of Zabulon:
7 dan Aku akan menggerakkan Sisera, panglima tentara Yabin, dengan kereta-keretanya dan pasukan-pasukannya menuju engkau ke sungai Kison dan Aku akan menyerahkan dia ke dalam tanganmu."
And I will bring unto thee in the place of the torrent Cison, Sisara the general of Jabin’s army, and his chariots, and all his multitude, and will deliver them into thy hand.
8 Jawab Barak kepada Debora: "Jika engkau turut maju akupun maju, tetapi jika engkau tidak turut maju akupun tidak maju."
And Barac said to her: If thou wilt come with me, I will go: if thou wilt not come with me, I will not go.
9 Kata Debora: "Baik, aku turut! Hanya, engkau tidak akan mendapat kehormatan dalam perjalanan yang engkau lakukan ini, sebab TUHAN akan menyerahkan Sisera ke dalam tangan seorang perempuan." Lalu Debora bangun berdiri dan pergi bersama-sama dengan Barak ke Kedesh.
She said to him: I will go indeed with thee, but at this time the victory shall not be attributed to thee, because Sisara shall be delivered into the hand of a woman. Debbora therefore arose, and went with Barac to Cedes.
10 Barak mengerahkan suku Zebulon dan suku Naftali ke Kedesh, maka sepuluh ribu orang maju mengikuti dia; juga Debora maju bersama-sama dengan dia.
And he called unto him Zabulon and Nepbtali, and went up with ten thousand fighting men, having Debbora in his company.
11 Adapun Heber, orang Keni itu, telah memisahkan diri dari suku Keni, dari anak-anak Hobab ipar Musa, dan telah berpindah-pindah memasang kemahnya sampai ke pohon tarbantin di Zaanaim yang dekat Kedesh.
Now Haber the Cinite had some time before departed from the rest of the Cinites his brethren the sons of Hobab, the kinsman of Moses: and had pitched his tents unto the valley which is called Sellnim, and was near Cedes.
12 Setelah dikabarkan kepada Sisera, bahwa Barak bin Abinoam telah maju ke gunung Tabor,
And it was told Sisara, that Barac the son of Ablinoem was gone up to mount Thabor:
13 dikerahkannyalah segala keretanya, sembilan ratus kereta besi, dan seluruh rakyat yang bersama-sama dengan dia, dari Haroset-Hagoyim ke sungai Kison.
And he gathered together his nine hundred chariots armed with scythes, and all his army from Haroseth of the Gentiles to the torrent Cison.
14 Lalu berkatalah Debora kepada Barak: "Bersiaplah, sebab inilah harinya TUHAN menyerahkan Sisera ke dalam tanganmu. Bukankah TUHAN telah maju di depan engkau?" Lalu turunlah Barak dari gunung Tabor dan sepuluh ribu orang mengikuti dia,
And Debbora said to Barac: Arise, for this is the day wherein the Lord hath delivered Sisara into thy hands: behold he is thy leader. And Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand fighting men with him.
15 dan TUHAN mengacaukan Sisera serta segala keretanya dan seluruh tentaranya oleh mata pedang di depan Barak, sehingga Sisera turun dari keretanya dan melarikan diri dengan berjalan kaki.
And the Lord struck a terror into Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his multitude, with the edge of the sword, at the sight of Barac, insomuch that Sisara leaping down from off his chariot, fled away on foot.
16 Lalu Barak mengejar kereta-kereta dan tentara itu sampai ke Haroset-Hagoyim, dan seluruh tentara Sisera tewas oleh mata pedang; tidak ada seorangpun yang tinggal hidup.
And Barac pursued after the fleeing chariots and the army unto Haroseth of the Gentiles, and all the multitude of the enemies was utterly destroyed.
17 Tetapi Sisera dengan berjalan kaki melarikan diri ke kemah Yael, isteri Heber, orang Keni itu, sebab ada perhubungan baik antara Yabin, raja Hazor, dengan keluarga Heber, orang Keni itu.
But Sisara fleeing came to the tent of Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Asor, and the house of Haber the Cinite.
18 Yael itupun keluar mendapatkan Sisera, dan berkata kepadanya: "Singgahlah, tuanku, silakan masuk. Jangan takut." Lalu singgahlah ia ke dalam kemah perempuan itu dan perempuan itu menutupi dia dengan selimut.
And Jahel went forth to meet Sisara, and said to him: Come in to me, my lord, come in, fear not. He went in to her tent, and being covered by her with a cloak,
19 Kemudian berkatalah ia kepada perempuan itu: "Berilah kiranya aku minum air sedikit, aku haus." Lalu perempuan itu membuka kirbat susu, diberinyalah dia minum dan diselimutinya pula.
Said to her: Give me, I beseech thee, a little water, for I am very thirsty. She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him.
20 Lagi katanya kepada perempuan itu: "Berdirilah di depan pintu kemah dan apabila ada orang datang dan bertanya kepadamu: Ada orang di sini?, maka jawablah: Tidak ada."
And Sisara said to her: Stand before the door of the tent, and when any shall come and inquire of thee, saying: Is there any man here? thou shalt say: There is none.
21 Tetapi Yael, isteri Heber, mengambil patok kemah, diambilnya pula palu, mendekatinya diam-diam, lalu dilantaknyalah patok itu masuk ke dalam pelipisnya sampai tembus ke tanah--sebab ia telah tidur nyenyak karena lelahnya--maka matilah orang itu.
So Jahel Haber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and taking also a hammer: and going in softly, and with silence, she put the nail upon the temples of his head, and striking it With the hammer, drove it through his brain fast into the ground: and so passing from deep sleep to death, he fainted away and died.
22 Pada waktu itu muncullah Barak yang mengejar Sisera. Keluarlah Yael mendapatkan dia dan berkata kepadanya: "Mari, aku akan menunjukkan kepadamu orang yang kaucari itu." Lalu masuklah Barak ke dalam dan tampaklah Sisera mati tergeletak dengan patok dalam pelipisnya.
And behold Barac came pursuing after Sisara: and Jahel went out to meet him, and said to him: Come, and I will shew thee, the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, be saw Sisara lying dead, and the nail fastened in his temples.
23 Demikianlah Allah pada hari itu menundukkan Yabin, raja Kanaan, di depan orang Israel.
So God that day humbled Jabin the king of Chanaan before the children of Israel:
24 Dan kekuasaan orang Israel kian keras menekan Yabin, raja Kanaan, sampai mereka melenyapkan Yabin, raja Kanaan itu.
Who grew daily stronger, and with a mighty hand overpowered Jabin king of Chanaan, till they quite destroyed him.
