Mpitsara 4
1 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah indray, rehefa maty Ehoda.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, when Ehud was dead.
2 Ary Jehovah nivarotra azy ho eo an-tànan’ i Jabina, mpanjakan’ i Kanana, izay nanjaka tany Hazora, ary Sisera, izay nonina tany Harosetan’ ny Jentilisa, no komandin’ ny miaramilany.
Jehovah sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth Haggoyim.
3 Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah ny Zanak’ Isiraely; fa nanana kalesy vy sivin-jato Jabina, ary nampahory fatratra ny Zanak’ Isiraely roa-polo taona izy.
The children of Israel cried to Jehovah: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
4 Ary Debora mpaminanivavy, vadin’ i Lapidota, no nitsara ny Isiraely tamin’ izany andro izany.
Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
5 Ary izy nipetraka teo ambanin’ ny hazo rofian’ i Debora, teo anelanelan’ i Rama sy Betela, tany amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima; ary niakatra ho any aminy ny Zanak’ Isiraely hatsaraina.
She lived under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
6 Ary Debora naniraka ka niantso an’ i Baraka, zanak’ i Abinoama, tany Kadesi-naftaly, ka nanao taminy hoe: Moa tsy efa nandidy va Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, nanao hoe: Mandehana, ka mankanesa any an-tendrombohitra Tabara, ary mitondrà iray alin-dahy amin’ ny taranak’ i Naftaly sy Zebolona hiaraka aminao?
She sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh Naphtali, and said to him, "Hasn't Jehovah, the God of Israel, commanded, 'Go and draw to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the people of Naphtali and of the people of Zebulun?
7 Dia ho entiko ho eo aminao, eo amoron’ ny ony Kisona, Sisera, komandin’ ny miaramilan’ i Jabina, mbamin’ ny kalesiny sy ny vahoakany maro be; dia hanolotra azy eo an-tananao Aho.
I will draw to you, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into your hand.'"
8 Ary hoy Baraka taminy: Raha handeha hiaraka amiko ianao, dia handeha aho; fa raha tsy handeha hiaraka amiko kosa ianao, dia tsy handeha aho.
Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go, for I do not know the day on which Jehovah prospers his angel with me."
9 Ary hoy kosa izy: handeha hiaraka aminao ihany aho; kanefa tsy ho voninahitrao izao halehanao izao, satria ho eo an-tanam-behivavy no hivarotan’ i Jehovah an’ i Sisera. Dia niainga Debora ka nandeha niaraka tamin’ i Baraka hankany Kadesy
She said, "I will surely go with you, but know that the journey that you take will not be for your honor; for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman." Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 Ary nantsoin’ i Baraka ho any Kadesy ny Zebolona sy ny Naftaly; dia nisy iray alin-dahy niakatra nanaraka azy; ary Debora niara-niakatra taminy.
Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
11 Ary Hebera Kenita efa nisaraka tamin’ ny Kenita izay avy amin’ ny taranak’ i Hobaba, zaodahin’ i Mosesy, ary nilasy ambara-pahatongany teo amin’ ny hazo terebinta ao Zananima, izay eo anilan’ i Kadesy.
Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the descendants of Hobab the brother-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
12 Ary nisy nilaza tamin’ i Sisera fa Baraka, zanak’ i Abinoama, niakatra any an-tendrombohitra Tabara.
And it was reported to Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.
13 Dia nangonin’ i Sisera ny kalesiny rehetra, dia kalesy vy sivin-jato, sy ny vahoaka rehetra izay niaraka taminy avy tany Harosetan’ ny Jentilisa, hankany amin’ ny ony Kisona.
Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth Haggoyim, to the river Kishon.
14 Ary hoy Debora tamin’ i Baraka: Miakara, fa anio no andro hanoloran’ i Jehovah an’ i Sisera eo an-tananao; tsy mivoaka eo anoloanao va Jehovah? Dia nidina Baraka sy ny olona iray alina nanaraka azy, avy tany an-tendrombohitra Tabara.
Deborah said to Barak, "Arise, for this is the day in which Jehovah has delivered Sisera into your hand. Hasn't Jehovah gone out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 Dia nampifanaritahin’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra Sisera teo anoloan’ i Baraka sy ny kalesy rehetra ary ny miaramila rehetra; dia nidina niala tamin’ ny kalesy Sisera ka nandositra nandeha tongotra.
Jehovah confused Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera got off from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
16 Ary Baraka nanenjika nanaraka ny kalesy sy ny miaramila hatrany Haroseta; dia lavon’ ny lelan-tsabatra avokoa ny miaramilan’ i Sisera rehetra; tsy nisy niangana na dia iray akory aza.
But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, to Harosheth Haggoyim: and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not a man left.
17 Ary Sisera nandositra nandeha tongotra ho any amin’ ny lain’ i Jaela, vadin’ i Hebera Kenita; fa nihavana Jabina, mpanjakan’ i Hazora, sy ny mpianakavin’ i Hebera Kenita.
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 Dia nivoaka Jaela hitsena an’ i Sisera ka nanao taminy hoe: Miakara, tompokolahy, miakara atỳ amiko; aza matahotra. Ary rehefa niakatra ho ao aminy ao an-day izy, dia norakofany ny lamba firakotra.
Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, "Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; do not be afraid." He came in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
19 Ary hoy Sisera taminy: Masìna ianao, omeo rano kely hosotroiko, fa mangetaheta aho izany. Dia nanokatra ny siny hoditra nisy ronono izy ka nomeny hosotroiny; ary dia norakofany indray izy.
He said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty." She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
20 Dia hoy izy taminy: Mitsangàna eo am-baravaran’ ny lay, ka raha tàhiny misy avy ka manontany anao hoe: Misy olona va ato? dia ataovy hoe: Tsia.
He said to her, "Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man comes and inquires of you, and says, 'Is there any man here?' that you shall say, 'No.'"
21 Dia naka tsima-day Jaela, vadin’ i Hebera, sady nitondra tantanana teny an-tànany ka nitsaitsaika nankeo aminy; dia natsatony tamin’ ny fihirifany ny tsima-day, ka nihatra tamin’ ny tany fa efa renoky ny torimaso Sisera, satria sasatra ka dia maty izy.
Then Jael Heber's wife took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he died.
22 Ary nony, indro, avy Baraka manenjika an’ i Sisera, dia nivoaka hitsena azy Jaela ka nanao taminy hoe; Avia atỳ, fa hasehoko anao ny lehilahy izay tadiavinao. Ary rehefa tonga tao aminy izy, dia indro, ny fatin’ i Sisera niampatra teo, ary ny tsima-day teo amin’ ny fihirifany.
Look, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, "Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek." He came to her; and look, Sisera lay dead, and the tent peg was in his temples.
23 Dia naetrin’ Andriamanitra teo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ izany andro izany Jabina, mpanjakan’ i Kanana.
So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
24 Ary ny tanan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely nihahery tamin’ i Jabina, mpanjakan’ i Kanana, mandra-pandringany azy.
The hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
