1 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za Ehuti'ma fritege'za Ra Anumzamofo avurera mago'ane ete kefo avu'ava zana hu'naze.
After Ehud died, the Israelis again started doing things Yahweh said were very evil.
2 Anama hazageno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a Hazori kuma kegava hu'nea Kenani kini ne' Jabini azampi Israeli vahera zamavarente'ne. Hagi ana kini ne'mofo sondia vahete kegavama hu'nea nera Haroset-Hagoimie nehaza kumate nemania nekino agi'a Sisera'e.
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 Hagi Sisera'a 900'a ainire karisirami ante'neankino Israeli vahera 20'a kafufina arohura zamareno zamazeri haviza hige'za, zamaza hinogura Ra Anumzamofontega krafa hu'naze.
Sisera’s [army] had 900 chariots. For 20 years he oppressed the Israelis. Then they pleaded to Yahweh to help them.
4 Hagi ana knafina kasnampa ara Debora'a Lapidoti nenarokino, Israeli vahe'mo'zama keagare'ma azageno'a keagazmia refko huno antahi'ne.
At that time Deborah, who was the wife of Lappidoth, was a prophetess who had become the leader in Israel.
5 Hagi Debora'a Rama kuma'ene Beteli kuma'ene amu'nompi Efraemi agona mopafi, tofegna zafa agafarere nehazare Debora mani'nege'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za knazazimia eri'za azageno keagazmia refko huno antahi'ne.
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 Hagi mago zupa Debora'a Kedes-Naftali kumate ne' Abinoamu nemofo Barakintega kea atrentegeno vigeno, anante'ma egeno'a amanage huno asami'ne, Israeli vahe'mofo Ra Anumzamo'a kagrikura amanage hu'ne, Vunka Naftali nagapinti'ene Zebuluni nagapintira 10tauseni'a venene zamavarenka Tabori agonare omeri atru hiho huno hu'ne.
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 Ana huge'na kini ne' Jabini sondia vahete'ma vugotama hu'nea kva ne'ene, aini karisiramine, ha' vahe'taminena zamavare'na Kisoni tinte e'na kazampi eme antegahue.
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 Anagema higeno'a Baraki'a amanage huno Deborankura hu'ne, Kagrama nagri'enema vanankena vugahue. Hianagi kagra nagri'enema ovnanana, nagra ovugahue.
Barak replied, “I will go only if you go with me.”
9 Higeno Debora'a amanage huno hu'ne, Tamage nagra kagrane vugahue. Hu'neanagi amama vanana kamo'a, kagra ra kagia e'origosane. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a Siserana mago a'mofo azampi avrentegahie. Anage nehuno Debora'a Barakina avaririno Kadesi kumatera vu'ne.
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 Hagi Barakia Zebuluni naga'ene Naftali nagara ke hige'za Kedesi vu'naze. Hagi 10tauseni'a sondia vahe'mo'za mareriza vazageno Debora'a zamagrane vu'ne.
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 Hagi ana knafina kin nagapinti ne' Heberi'a mago seli nona Kadesi kuma tavaonte oki zafa me'nere ki'ne. Korapara Kenasi kumateti, Mosese nenemo Hobabu nagapinti ne'kino agehemokizmia zamatreno vu'nea ne'mo ki'ne.
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 Hagi Abinoamu nemofo Baraki'ma Tabori agonare'ma marerie kema Siserama asamizageno nentahino,
Someone told Sisera that Barak had gone up on Tabor Mountain [with an army].
13 Sisera'a 900'a ainire karisi ke hige'za eri'za neazageno, maka sondia vahetamina ke hutru hutege'za, Haroset-Hagoimitira Kisoni tinte vu'naze.
So he gathered his troops with their 900 chariots, and they marched from Harosheth-Haggoyim to the Kishon River.
14 Anante Debora'a Barakinkura amanage hu'ne, Otio! Na'ankure menina ama knarera Ra Anumzamo'a vugota huganteno, Siserana kagri kazampi avrente'ne. Anage higeno Baraki'a 10tauseni'a sondia vahera zamavareno, Tabori agonamofo asoparega urami'naze.
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 Hagi Barakima ha'ma eri agafama higeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a Siserane karisima eri'za vanoma nehaza maka sondia vahe'araminena antahintahi zimia zamazeri savari nehuno, zamazeri koro higeno Sisera'a karisi'afintira mopafi takaureno koro fre'ne.
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 Ana higeno Baraki'a karisifi vanoma nehu'za ha'ma nehaza vahe'tmina zamavaririno Haroset-Hagoimi vuno magore huno ozmatreno, ome zamahe hana hu'ne.
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 Hianagi Sisera'a mopafi freno vuno Kenasi ne' Heberi nenaro, Jaeli seli nontega vu'ne. Na'ankure Hazori kini ne' Jabinine Kenasi ne' Heberi kizani amu'nompina hafra osu'na'e.
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 Hagi Jaeli'a seli noma'afinti'ma atiramino Siserama eme negeno'a amanage hu'ne, korora osunka seli noni'afi emarerinka emanio. Anage higeno Jaeli seli nompi Sisera'a umarerino umasegeno, franke erino kofinte'ne.
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 Anama nehigeno'a Sisera'a amanage hu'ne, nanankemo'a hagage hianki osi'a tina afinamige'na na'neno, higeno zagagafa akru'areti tro hu'nea tintafempinti mememofo amirina tagi amigeno netegeno, ete frankera eri kofintegeno mase'ne.
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 Nemaseno amanage hu'ne, Seli nomofo kafante oti'nenka mago'a vahe'mo'ma eno'ma eme kantahigeno, mago'a vahera amafina mani'neoma hanigenka, i'o amafina mago'a vahera omani'ne hunka huo.
He said to her, “Stand in the entrance of the tent. If someone comes and asks ‘Is anyone else here?’, say ‘No.’”
21 Hianagi Sisera'a asafe'atagu mase himre'negeno, Jaeli'a hamane seli no avazuhumpi huno negia azota eriteno, akoheno vuno Siserana ana frankepi taponeno asenia runagino aheno mopafi ahenarentegeno fri'ne.
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 Anama nehigeno'a Baraki'a Siserana avaririno ne-egeno'a Jaeli'a viazamo amanage ome hu'ne, ege'na avaririnkama neana nera ome kaveri ha'neno, higeno Baraki'a amage vuno ome keana seli no avazuhumpi huno arenentea azotareti asenia renagino ahentenegeno ome ke'ne.
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 E'i ana zupage Israeli vahe zamavufi Anumzamo'a Kenani kini ne' Jabinina hara hu agatere'ne.
On that day God enabled the Israelis to defeat [the army of] Jabin, the king of the people of Canaan.
24 Hagi ana hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za tusiza hu'za hankaveti'za Kenani kini ne'mofo sondia vahetamina hara huzmante'za zamazeri haviza hu'naze.
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.
