Mpitsara 4
1 Aa ie nivilasy t’i Ehode le nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà indraike o ana’ Israeleo.
After Ehud died, the Israelites again did evil in the sight of the LORD.
2 Le naleta’ Iehovà am-pità’ Iabine, mpanjaka’ i Khanàne, mpifehe’ i Kastore iereo; i Siserà ty nifeleke o lahindefo’eo naho nimoneñe e Karosete’ambahiny.
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 Nikaikaik’ amy Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo, amy t’ie aman-tsarete vy sivan-jato, vaho vata’e namorekeke o ana’ Israeleo roapolo taoñe.
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 Nizaka Israele tañ’ andro izay ty rakemba atao Deborae, mpitoky, vali’ i Lapidote.
Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.
5 Nimoneñe ambane satrañe añivo’ i Ramà naho i Betele am-bohi’ i Efraime eo t’i Deborae, vaho nionjomb’ ama’e mb’eo o ana’ Israeleo ho zakae’e.
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 Nampihitrife’e naho nikanjie’e t’i Barake, ana’ i Abinoame, boake Kedese e Naftalý añe le nanoa’e ty hoe, Tsy fa nandily azo hao t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: ami’ty hoe: Akia harineo ty vohi-Tabore naho endeso lahindefo rai-ale amo ana’ i Naftalio naho amo ana’ i Zeboloneo?
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 Le ho tariheko mb’ ama’o mb’ amy saka Kisoney mb’eo t’i Siserà, mpifele’ i mpirai-lahin-defo’ Iabiney, rekets’ o sarete’eo naho i valobohò’ey; vaho hatoloko am-pità’o.
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 Le hoe t’i Barake tama’e, Kanao hindreza’o lia, le handeha iraho; fe naho tsy indreza’o, izaho tsy homb’eo.
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 Le hoe re, Toe hindrezako, fe tsy hahazoa’o engeñe ty lala homba’o; fa haleta’ Iehovà am-pitàn-drakemba t’i Siserà. Niongak’ amy zao t’i Deborae, nindre lia amy Barake mb’e Kedese mb’eo.
“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 Kinai’ i Barake t’i Zebolone naho i Naftalý hifanontoñe ama’e e Kedese ao; aa le nionjom-beo am-pandia ty rai-alen-dahy vaho nindre ama’e t’i Deborae.
where he summoned Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah also went with him.
11 Ie amy zao fa nifampiria amo nte-Kenio t’i Kevere, nte-Kený, ana’ i Kobabe rafoza’ i Mosè vaho nañoren-kibohotse a monto’ i Tsa’ananime añ’ ila’ i Kedese eo.
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 Natalily amy Siserà te nionjomb’ am-bohi’ Tabore mb’eo t’i Barak’ ana’ i Abinoame.
When Sisera was told that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up Mount Tabor,
13 Natonto’ i Siserà amy zao o sarete’e iabio, i sarete viñe sivan-jato rey, naho nindre ama’e i valobohò’e boake Karosete-goime añey pak’ an-tsaka Kisone eo.
he summoned all nine hundred of his iron chariots and all the men with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the River Kishon.
14 Aa le hoe t’i Deborae amy Barake. Miongaha, itoy ty andro nanolora’ Iehovà i Siserà am-pità’o. Tsy fa niaolo Azo hao t’Iehovà? Aa le nizotso boak’ am-bohi-Tabore ao t’i Barak’ am-pañorihañe ty rai-alen-dahy.
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 Navalitsikota’ Iehovà amy zao t’i Siserà naho o sarete’e iabio, naho i valobohò’ey andela-pibara añatrefa’ i Barake, aa le nizotso amy sarete’ey t’i Siserà vaho nibolititse mb’eo am-pandia.
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 Hinorida’ i Barake o sareteo naho i valobohòkey pake Karosete-goime añe naho fonga zinama’e an-dela-pibara ty valobohò’ i Siserà vaho tsy napo’e sehanga’e.
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 F’ie nipoliotse am-pandia mb’an-kiboho’ Iaele tañanjomba’ i Kevere nte-Kený mb’eo, amy te nifampilongo ty anjomba’ Iabine mpanjaka’ i Katsore naho ty anjomba’ i Kevere nte-Kený.
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 Niakatse mb’eo t’Iaele nifanalaka amy Siserà, vaho hoe re tama’e, Mitoliha, ry talèko, mitsilea mb’ amako mb’etoa; le ko hembañe. Aa ie nitsile mb’ama’e mb’ an-kiboho’e ao, le sinaro’e bodo mateveñe.
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 Le hoe re tama’e, Ehe anjotsò rano tsy ampeampe hinomako fa marandrano. Aa le sinoka’e ty korobon-dronono naho nazotso’e hikama vaho sinaro’e indraike.
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 Le hoe re ama’e, Mitroara an-dalan-kibohotse ey, le ie mivotrak’ ama’o t’indaty hañontane azo ami’ty hoe: Ama’ ondaty hao ty ao? Le hoe ty hatoi’o: Aiy!
“Stand at the entrance to the tent,” he said, “and if anyone comes and asks you, ‘Is there a man here?’ say, ‘No.’”
21 Rinambe’ Iaele vali’ i Kevere amy zao ty tsaton-kibohotse naho ty ana-bato am-pità’e le nipiapia mb’ ama’e ao le tinombo’e am-pitendreanaoli’e amy tsatokey naho natrofa’e pak’an-tane, amy t’ie nilampo’ ty rotse fa nimokotse, vaho nihomake.
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 Aa ie nañoridañe i Siserà t’i Barake, le nifanalaka’ Iaele nanao ama’e ty hoe, Mb’etoa le hatoroko azo indaty paia’oy. Aa ie nizilik’ ama’e ao, ingo t’ie nihity eo mate, tinombon-tsatok’ am-pitendrean’ aoli’e.
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 Aa le nampiambanen’ Añahare amy andro zay añatrefa’ o ana’ Israeleo t’Iabine mpanjaka’ i Khanàne.
On that day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites.
24 Nandreketse erike am’ Iabine mpifehe’ i Khanàne ty fità’ o ana’ Israeleo, ampara’ te narotsa’ iareo t’Iabine mpifehe’ i Khanàne.
And the hand of the Israelites grew stronger and stronger against Jabin king of Canaan until they destroyed him.
