Bilombe 4
1 Sima na kufa ya Ewudi, bana ya Isalaele basalaki lisusu makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe.
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, after Ehud was dead.
2 Yawe akabaki bango lisusu na maboko ya Yabini, mokonzi ya Kanana, oyo azalaki kovanda na Atsori. Sisera, mokonzi ya mampinga na ye ya basoda, azalaki kovanda na Arosheti-Goyimi.
And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
3 Yabini azalaki na bashar nkama libwa ya bibende, mpe anyokolaki makasi bana ya Isalaele mibu tuku mibale. Bongo bana ya Isalaele bagangaki epai na Yawe mpo na kosenga lisungi.
And the children of Israel cried to the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
4 Na tango wana, Debora, mwasi mosakoli, mwasi ya engumba Lapidoti, azalaki kokamba Isalaele.
And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
5 Azalaki kosambisa na se ya nzete ya mbila ya Debora, oyo ezalaki na kati ya Rama mpe Beteli, kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi. Bana ya Isalaele bazalaki koya epai na ye mpo na kosambisama.
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 Mokolo moko, abengisaki Baraki, mwana mobali ya Abinoami, moto ya Kedeshi ya Nefitali, mpe alobaki na ye: — Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apesi yo mitindo: « Kende, kamata elongo na yo bato nkoto zomi ya mabota ya Nefitali mpe ya Zabuloni, mpe mema bango na nzela oyo ekenda na ngomba Tabori.
And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedeshnaphtali, and said to him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
7 Nakomema Sisera, mokonzi ya basoda ya Yabini, na mayi moke ya Kishoni elongo na bashar mpe basoda na ye, mpe nakokaba ye na maboko na yo. »
And I will draw to thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thy hand.
8 Baraki azongiselaki Debora: — Soki okokende elongo na ngai, wana nakokende; kasi soki okokende na ngai te, wana ngai mpe nakokende te.
And Barak said to her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
9 Debora alobaki na ye: — Malamu, nakokende elongo na yo. Kasi yeba ete, na nzela oyo ozali kokende, lokumu ekozala ya yo te, pamba te Yawe akokaba Sisera na maboko ya mwasi. Boye, Debora akendeki elongo na Baraki, na mboka Kedeshi.
And she said, I will surely go with thee: however the journey that thou takest shall not be for thy honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 Kuna na Kedeshi, Baraki abengisaki bato ya mabota ya Zabuloni mpe ya Nefitali. Bato nkoto zomi balandaki ye, mpe Debora akendeki elongo na ye.
And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
11 Kaka na mokolo wana, Eberi, moto ya Keni, akabwanaki na bato mosusu ya Keni, bakitani ya Obabi, semeki ya Moyize. Mpe Eberi akendeki kino na terebente oyo ezali na Tsananimi, pembeni ya Kedeshi, mpo na kotelemisa ndako na ye ya kapo.
Now Heber the Kenite, who was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had separated himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent to the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
12 Tango bayebisaki Sisera ete Baraki, mwana mobali ya Abinoami, amataki na likolo ya ngomba Tabori,
And they showed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to mount Tabor.
13 Sisera abengisaki, longwa na Arosheti-Goyimi, bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na ye elongo, mpe asangisaki bashar nkama libwa ya bibende. Amemaki bango na mayi moke ya Kishoni.
And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to the river of Kishon.
14 Debora alobaki na Baraki: « Kende! Ezali lelo nde mokolo oyo Yawe akokaba Sisera na maboko na yo. » Baraki akitaki na ngomba Tabori, mpe bato nkoto zomi balandaki ye.
And Deborah said to Barak, Arise; for this is the day when the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thy hand: hath not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 Wana Baraki azalaki kokende, Yawe apanzaki, na nzela ya mopanga na Ye, Sisera, bashar na ye nyonso mpe mampinga na ye ya basoda. Sisera asundolaki shar na ye mpe akimaki na makolo.
And the LORD destroyed Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera came down from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
16 Kasi Baraki alandaki bashar mpe mampinga kino na Arosheti-Goyimi. Mampinga nyonso ya basoda ya Sisera ekufaki na mopanga, ata moto moko te abikaki.
But Barak pursued the chariots, and the host, to Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
17 Nzokande, Sisera akimaki na makolo kino na ndako ya kapo ya Yaeli, mwasi ya Eberi, moto ya Keni; pamba te boyokani ya malamu ezalaki kati na Yabini, mokonzi ya Atsori, mpe libota ya Eberi, moto ya Keni.
However Sisera fled away on his feet 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 Yaeli abimaki mpo na kokutana na Sisera mpe alobaki na ye: — Yaka, nkolo na ngai; kimela epai na ngai, kobanga te. Sisera akotaki na ndako ya kapo ya Yaeli, mpe Yaeli azipaki ye bulangeti.
And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in to her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
19 Sisera alobaki na Yaeli: — Nabondeli yo, pesa ngai mayi mpo ete namela; nazali na posa ya mayi. Yaeli afungolaki mbeki etonda na miliki ya mayi, mpe amelisaki ye yango. Sima, azipaki ye lisusu bulangeti.
And he said to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him a drink, and covered him.
20 Sisera alobaki na Yaeli: — Telema na ekuke ya ndako ya kapo. Soki moto ayei kotuna yo: « Moto azali awa? » Zongisa: « Te! »
Again he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
21 Kasi wana Sisera alalaki pongi makasi mpo ete alembaki, Yaeli, mwasi ya Eberi, akamataki pike ya ndako ya kapo mpe azwaki marto; akotaki malembe pembeni na ye, abetaki ye pike na litoyi, mpe pike yango etobolaki moto na ye kino ekotaki na mabele; mpe Sisera akufaki.
Then Jael Heber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
22 Wana Baraki azalaki nanu kolanda Sisera, Yaeli abimaki mpo na kokutana na ye. Alobaki na Baraki: « Yaka, nakolakisa yo moto oyo ozali koluka. » Baraki akotaki na ndako ya kapo ya Yaeli mpe amonaki Sisera ya kokufa, alala na mabele, mpe pike kati na litoyi na ye.
And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
23 Mokolo wana, Nzambe akitisaki liboso ya bana ya Isalaele, Yabini, mokonzi ya Kanana.
So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
24 Bana ya Isalaele bakomaki makasi koleka Yabini, mokonzi ya Kanana, kino babomaki ye.
And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
