1 Ekudi bwe yamala okufa Abayisirayiri ne bakola nate ebibi eri Mukama.
Ehud wuo akyi no, Israelfoɔ no yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so bio.
2 Mukama n’abawaayo mu mikono gya Yabini Kabaka wa Kanani, eyabeeranga e Kazoli; omuduumizi w’eggye lye nga ye Sisera eyabeeranga e Kalosesi eky’abamawanga.
Enti, Awurade de wɔn hyɛɛ Kanaanhene Yabin a na ɔdi adeɛ wɔ Hasor no nsa. Na ɔsahene a ɔtua nʼakodɔm ano no din de Sisera a na ɔte Haroset-Hagoyim.
3 Yabini yalina amagaali ag’ekyuma lwenda, era n’ajoogera Abayisirayiri emyaka amakumi abiri, kyebaava balaajaanira Mukama abayambe.
Na Sisera wɔ nnadeɛ nteaseɛnam aha nkron, na ɔde atirimuɔden hyɛɛ Israelfoɔ no so mfirinhyia aduonu. Afei Israelfoɔ no su frɛɛ Awurade pɛɛ mmoa.
4 Awo Nnabbi Debola mukazi wa Leppidosi ye yali akulembera Abayisirayiri mu kiseera ekyo.
Debora a na ɔyɛ Lapidot yere ne odiyifoɔ baa na ɔbɛyɛɛ Israelfoɔ ɔtemmufoɔ.
5 Era bulijjo yatuulanga wansi w’olukindu olwayitibwanga olwa Debola wakati w’e Lama ne Beseri mu kitundu kya Efulayimu eky’ensozi: Abayisirayiri ne bajjanga gyali okubalamula.
Na ɔtenaa Debora Abɛ Dua ase a ɛwɔ Rama ne Bet-El ntam wɔ Efraim bepɔ asase no so. Ɛhɔ na na Israelfoɔ no kɔ ma ɔdi wɔn nsɛm.
6 N’atumya Baraki mutabani wa Abinoamu ave mu Kedesi ekitundu kya Nafutaali, n’amugamba nti, “Mukama Katonda w’Abayisirayiri akulagidde nti, ‘Ggenda okuŋŋaanyize abasajja bo ku lusozi Taboli, obalondemu omutwalo gumu okuva mu kika ekya Nafutaali n’ekya Zebbulooni.
Ɛda bi, ɔsoma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Abinoam babarima Barak a na ɔte Kedes wɔ Naftali asase so. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sei na Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn hyɛ wo sɛ yɛ: Kɔboaboa akofoɔ ɔpedu ano firi Naftali ne Sebulon mmusuakuo mu wɔ Tabor bepɔ so hɔ.
7 Ndisindika gy’oli ku mugga Kisoni, Sisera omuduumizi w’eggye lya Yabini, n’amagaali ge n’abalwanyi be era ndibawaayo mu mikono gyo.’”
Mɛdaadaa Yabin akodɔm sahene Sisera ne ne nteaseɛnam ne akofoɔ akɔ Asubɔnten Kison ho. Ɛhɔ na mɛma woadi ne so nkonim.”
8 Baraki n’amuddamu nti, “Kale nnaagenda bw’onokkiriza ŋŋende naawe, naye bw’otokkirize nange siigende.”
Barak ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛ wo ne me bɛkɔ dea, mɛkɔ!”
9 Debola n’amugamba nti, “Wewaawo nnaagenda naawe, naye ekitiibwa n’obuwanguzi tebiibe bibyo, kubanga Mukama aliwaayo Sisera awangulwe mu mikono gy’omukazi.” Baraki n’addayo ne Debola e Kedesi.
Debora buaa no sɛ, “Mate, me ne wo bɛkɔ, nanso worennya animuonyam biara wɔ dwumadie yi mu, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade nkonimdie wɔ Sisera so no bɛfiri ɔbaa nsam.” Enti, Debora ne Barak kɔɔ Kedes.
10 Baraki n’ayita ab’ekika kya Zebbulooni n’ekya Nafutaali bakuŋŋaanire e Kedesi, abasajja omutwalo gumu ne bamugoberera awamu ne Debola.
Kedes hɔ, Barak frɛfrɛɛ Sebulon abusuakuo ne Naftali abusuakuo mu nnipa nyinaa, na akofoɔ ɔpedu ne no kɔeɛ. Debora nso kaa wɔn ho kɔeɛ.
11 Keberi Omukeeni yazimba eweema ye okumpi n’omuti omwera e Zaanannimu ekiri okumpi ne Kedesi oluvannyuma lw’okwawukana ne Bakeeni banne, bazzukulu ba Kobabu mukoddomi wa Musa.
Na Kenini Heber atwe ne ho afiri Kenifoɔ a wɔyɛ Mose akonta Hobab asefoɔ no ho, akɔsi ne ntomadan wɔ dua kɛseɛ bi a ɛsi Saananim a ɛbɛn Kedes no ho.
12 Awo Sisera bwe yamanya nga Baraki mutabani wa Abinoamu atuuse ku Lusozi Taboli,
Ɛberɛ a wɔka kyerɛɛ Sisera sɛ Abinoam ba Barak aforo kɔ Tabor bepɔ so no,
13 n’akuŋŋaanya amagaali ge gonna lwenda ag’ekyuma, n’abalwanyi be bonna okuva ku Kalosesi eky’abamawanga okutuuka ku mugga Kisoni.
ɔboaboaa ne nnadeɛ nteaseɛnam aha nkron ano ne nʼakofoɔ nyinaa, na wɔtu tene firii Haroset-Hagoyim kɔɔ Asubɔnten Kison ho.
14 Debola n’agamba Baraki nti, “Mukama si y’akukulembedde! Noolwekyo situkiramu kubanga olwa leero Mukama awaddeyo Sisera mu mikono gyo.” Awo Baraki n’ava ku lusozi Taboli n’abalwanyi be omutwalo gumu.
Afei, Debora ka kyerɛɛ Barak sɛ, “Yɛ ahoboa! Ɛnnɛ ne ɛda a Awurade de Sisera so nkonimdie bɛma wo, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade atu sa adi wʼanim.” Enti, Barak dii nʼakodɔm ɔpedu anim sianee Tabor bepɔ no kɔkoeɛ.
15 Mukama n’afufuggaza n’ekitala Sisera n’amagaali gonna n’eggye lye lyonna nga Baraki alaba; Sisera n’abuuka mu ggaali lye, n’adduka.
Ɛberɛ a Barak to hyɛɛ wɔn so no, Awurade maa huboa bɔɔ Sisera, ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ ne nʼakofoɔ no nyinaa. Ɛbaa saa no, Sisera huri firii ne teaseɛnam mu sii fam dwaneeɛ.
16 Baraki n’afubutula eggye lya Sisera n’amagaali gaalyo okutuuka e Keloseesi eky’amawanga; era n’abatta n’ekitala obutalekaawo yadde n’omu.
Barak nteaseɛnam ne ɔtamfoɔ no akodɔm no ara kɔsii Haroset-Hagoyim, kunkumm Sisera akofoɔ no nyinaa. Anka wɔn mu baako mpo.
17 Naye Sisera n’addukira eri eweema ya Yayeeri mukazi w’Omukeeni Keberi: Kubanga waaliwo enkolagana wakati wa kabaka w’e Kazoli, Yabini n’ab’omu maka g’Omukeeni Keberi.
Sisera dwane kɔhyɛɛ Kenini Heber yere Yael ntomadan mu, ɛfiri sɛ, na Heber abusuafoɔ ne Hasorhene Yabin wɔ ayɔnkofa.
18 Yayeeri n’afuluma okusisinkana Sisera; n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange yingira mu weema yange, totya.” Sisera n’ayingira mu weema. Yayeeri n’amubikkako omunagiro.
Yael firii adi kɔhyiaa Sisera ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, bra me ntomadan yi mu. Bra mu. Nsuro.” Enti, ɔkɔɔ ntomadan no mu maa ɔde nnasoɔ kataa ne so.
19 Namwegayirira nti, “Mpa ku tuzzi nnyweko kubanga ennyonta enzita.” N’asumulula eddiba omufukibwa amata n’amunywesa oluvannyuma n’amubikkako.
Sisera ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, sukɔm de me enti ma me nsuo.” Enti ɔmaa no nufosuo sɛ ɔnnom, na ɔsane kataa ne so.
20 Sisera n’agamba Yayeeri nti, “Yimirira mu mulyango gwa weema eno, omuntu yenna bw’ajja n’akubuuza obanga muno mulimu omusajja yenna, omuddamu nti, ‘Temuli.’”
Sisera ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Gyina ntomadan no ano na sɛ obi bɛbisa wo sɛ obi wɔ ha a, ka sɛ dabi.”
21 Awo Sisera bwe yali nga ali mu tulo tungi, Yayeeri mukazi wa Keberi n’addira enkondo ya weema n’ennyondo n’amusooberera n’amukomerera enkondo mu kyenyi, n’eyitamu n’ekwata n’ettaka n’afa.
Nanso, ɔbrɛ enti, Sisera faa mu daeɛ. Yael, a ɔyɛ Heber yere, yɛɛ brɛoo kɔɔ ne so. Ɔde hamre ne pɛɛwa na ɛkɔeɛ. Ɔde pɛɛwa no sii ne moma so de hama no bɔɔ so, kɔsii sɛ ɛhwiree ne moma mu sii fam ma ɔwuiɛ.
22 Awo Baraki bwe yali nga anoonya Sisera, Yayeeri n’afuluma okumusisinkana, n’amugamba nti, “Jjangu nkulage omusajja gw’onoonya. Baraki n’ayingira mu weema n’alaba omulambo ggwa Sisera nga gukubiddwamu enkondo mu kyenyi.”
Ɛberɛ a Barak baa sɛ ɔrebɛhwehwɛ Sisera no, Yael pue bɛhyiaa no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Bra na menkyerɛ wo ɔbarima a worehwehwɛ noɔ no.” Enti, ɔdii nʼakyi kɔɔ ntomadan no mu kɔhunuu Sisera sɛ wawu da hɔ a pɛɛwa si ne moma so.
23 Ku lunaku olwo Katonda n’awa Abayisirayiri obuwanguzi ku Yabini kabaka wa Kanani.
Ɛda no na Israel hunuu sɛ Onyankopɔn adi Kanaanhene Yabin so nkonim.
24 Abayisirayiri ne beeyongera okufufuggaza Yabini kabaka wa Kanani okutuusa lwe bamuzikiririzza ddala.
Na ɛno akyi no, Israel nyaa ahoɔden tiaa ɔhene Yabin ara kɔsii sɛ akyire yi, wɔsɛee no.
