Mwet Nununku 4
1 Tukun Ehud el misa, mwet Israel elos sifilpa orekma koluk ye mutun LEUM GOD.
After Ehud died, the Israelites again did evil in the sight of the LORD.
2 Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD El eisalosyang nu inpaol Jabin, sie tokosra lun mwet Canaan su leumi siti Hazor. Mwet se ma kol mwet mweun lal an pa Sisera, su muta in acn se pangpang Harosheth-lun-mwet-Gentile.
So the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his forces was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim.
3 Oasr chariot osra eufoko natul Jabin, ac el leumi mwet Israel ac akkeokyalos ke lusen yac longoul. Na mwet Israel elos wowoyak nu sin LEUM GOD ac siyuk kasru sel.
Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, because Jabin had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he had harshly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years.
4 In pacl sac Deborah, mutan kial Lappidoth, sie mutan palu, el oayapa mwet nununku se lun mwet Israel.
Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.
5 El ac muta ye sak palm soko, pangpang Palm lal Deborah, inmasrlon Ramah ac Bethel fineol uh in facl Ephraim, ac mwet Israel elos ac tuku nu yorol tuh elan oru nununku lal kaclos.
And she would sit under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, where the Israelites would go up to her for judgment.
6 Sie len ah el sapla nu sel Barak, wen natul Abinoam, nu in siti Kedesh in Naphtali ac fahk nu sel, “LEUM GOD lun Israel el sapkin nu sum ac fahk ouinge, ‘Eis singoul tausin mwet sin sruf lal Naphtali ac sruf lal Zebulun, ac kololos nu Fineol Tabor.
She summoned Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali and said to him, “Surely the LORD, the God of Israel, is commanding you: ‘Go and march to Mount Tabor, taking with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun.
7 Nga ac fah usalu Sisera, captain lun mwet mweun lal Jabin, in mweuni kom ke Infacl Kishon. El ac us chariot ac mwet mweun lal an, tusruktu nga fah asot kutangla nu sum.”’
And I will draw out Sisera the commander of Jabin’s army, his chariots, and his troops to the River Kishon, and I will deliver him into your hand.’”
8 Na Barak el topuk ac fahk, “Nga ac som kom fin wiyu, tuh kom fin tia wiyu, nga ac fah tia som.”
Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go.”
9 Ac Deborah el fahk nu sel Barak, “Aok, nga ac wi kom, tusruktu kom ac fah tia akfulatyeyuk ke kutangla se inge, mweyen LEUM GOD El ac eisalang Sisera nu inpoun sie mutan.” Na Deborah el welul Barak ac som nu Kedesh.
“I will certainly go with you,” Deborah replied, “but the road you are taking will bring you no honor, because the LORD will be selling Sisera into the hand of a woman.” So Deborah got up and went with Barak to Kedesh,
10 Barak el pangonma mwet in sruf lal Naphtali ac sruf lal Zebulun nu Kedesh, ac oasr tausin singoul mwet welul. Ac Deborah el welul som.
where he summoned Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah also went with him.
11 In pacl se inge Heber mwet Ken el tulokunak lohm nuknuk sel apkuran nu Kedesh, fototo nu ke sak oak soko in acn Zanannim. El tuh srengla liki mwet Ken wial ah, su fwil natul Hobab, sou lun mutan kial Moses.
Now Heber the Kenite had moved away from the Kenites, the descendants of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent by the great tree of Zaanannim, which was near Kedesh.
12 Ke Sisera el lohng mu Barak el fahsryak nu Fineol Tabor,
When Sisera was told that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up Mount Tabor,
13 el pangoneni chariot osra eufoko ac mwet lal nukewa, ac supwalosla liki acn Harosheth-lun-mwet-Gentile nu Infacl Kishon.
he summoned all nine hundred of his iron chariots and all the men with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the River Kishon.
14 Na Deborah el fahk nu sel Barak, “Fahsrot tuh LEUM GOD El kol kom. Misenge El asot kutangla nu sum facl Sisera.” Na Barak el tufoki Fineol Tabor me wi tausin singoul mwet mweun lal.
Then Deborah said to Barak, “Arise, for this is the day that the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not the LORD gone before you?” So Barak came down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men following him.
15 Ke Barak ac mwet mweun lal elos mweun, LEUM GOD El arulana akfohsyalak Sisera ac mwet mweun lal wi chariot natulos. Na Sisera el srola liki chariot natul ac kasrusr kaing.
And in front of him the LORD routed with the sword Sisera, all his charioteers, and all his army. Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled on foot.
16 Barak el ukwe chariot inge ac mwet mweun inge nwe ke na sun acn Harosheth-lun-mwet-Gentile, ac mwet lal Sisera nukewa anwuki ac wangin sie lula.
Then Barak pursued the chariots and army as far as Harosheth-hagoyim, and the whole army of Sisera fell by the sword; not a single man was left.
17 Sisera el kaing nwe sun lohm nuknuk sel Jael, mutan kial Heber mwet Ken, mweyen oasr aetui inmasrlol Tokosra Jabin ac sou lal Heber.
Meanwhile, Sisera had fled on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there was peace between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
18 Jael el illa in sonol Sisera ac el fahk nu sel, “Utyak, leum se. Utyak nu in lohm nuknuk sik, ac nimet sangeng.” Na Sisera el utyak, ac Jael el okanulla ye nuknuk se.
Jael went out to greet Sisera and said to him, “Come in, my lord. Come in with me. Do not be afraid.” So he entered her tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
19 Sisera el fahk nu sel Jael, “Nga malu. Nunak munas ase kutu kof an nimuk.” Jael el ikasla sie pak orekla ke kulun kosro mwe neinyuk milk, ac sang Sisera el nimya, na el sifil okanulla.
Sisera said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty.” So she opened a container of milk, gave him a drink, and covered him again.
20 Ac Sisera el fahk nu sel Jael, “Tu na mutunoa an. Fin oasr mwet tuku ac siyuk lah oasr mwet inge, kom fah fahk mu wangin.”
“Stand at the entrance to the tent,” he said, “and if anyone comes and asks you, ‘Is there a man here?’ say, ‘No.’”
21 Sisera el arulana totola, oru el topla na motulla. Jael el eis sie hammer ac soko kwi ma sang sruok lohm nuknuk ah, na el mahsrikyak nu yorol. El sang kwi soko ah patikya ke la sifal Sisera nwe ke sasla ke layen saya ke sifal nu infohk uh. Na el misa.
But as he lay sleeping from exhaustion, Heber’s wife Jael took a tent peg, grabbed a hammer, and went silently to Sisera. She drove the peg through his temple and into the ground, and he died.
22 Ke Barak el tuku in sokol Sisera, Jael el tufoki in sonol ac fahk nu sel, “Fahsru, nga ac fahkak mwet se su kom suk an.” Na Barak el welul utyak, ac liyal Sisera ke el misa oan infohk uh, ac kwi soko ah sasla ke sifal.
When Barak arrived in pursuit of Sisera, Jael went out to greet him and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man you are seeking.” So he went in with her, and there lay Sisera dead, with a tent peg through his temple.
23 In len sac, God El sang kutangla nu sin Israel facl Jabin, tokosra lun mwet Canaan.
On that day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites.
24 Mwet Israel elos kui ac arulana liksreni lainul Jabin, tokosra lun mwet Canaan, nwe ke na elos kunausulla.
And the hand of the Israelites grew stronger and stronger against Jabin king of Canaan until they destroyed him.
