< Mpitsara 4 >
1 Aa ie nivilasy t’i Ehode le nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà indraike o ana’ Israeleo.
And the children of Israel again did the evil in the eyes of the Lord, when Ehud was dead.
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.
And the Lord sold them into the hand of Yabin the king of Canaan, that reigned in Chazor; and the captain of his army was Sissera, who dwelt in Charosheth-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.
And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he oppressed the children of Israel with might twenty years.
4 Nizaka Israele tañ’ andro izay ty rakemba atao Deborae, mpitoky, vali’ i Lapidote.
And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, —she judged 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 held her sitting under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el on the mountain of Ephraim: and the children of Israel came 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?
And she sent and called Barak the son of Abino'am out of Kedesh-naphtali; and she said unto him, Behold, the Lord the God of Israel hath commanded, Go and lead on toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of 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 unto thee, to the brook Kishon, Sissera, the captain of Yabin's army, and his chariots and his multitude; and I will give him up into thy 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.
And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then will I go; but if thou wilt 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.
And she said, I will indeed go with thee; nevertheless it will not be for thy honor, on the way which thou goest; for into the hand of a woman will the Lord deliver Sissera; and Deborah arose, 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.
And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up in his train ten thousand men; also Deborah went up 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 Cheber the Kenite had severed himself from the Kenites, from the children of Chobab the father-in-law of Moses; and he had pitched his tent as far as Elon-beza'anannim, which is near Kedesh.
12 Natalily amy Siserà te nionjomb’ am-bohi’ Tabore mb’eo t’i Barak’ ana’ i Abinoame.
And they told Sissera that Barak the son of Abino'am was gone up to 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.
And Sissera called together all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Charosheth-hagoyim unto the brook 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.
And Deborah said unto Barak, Up! for this is the day on which the Lord hath given Sissera into thy hand; behold, the Lord is gone out before thee: so Barak went down from mount Tabor, with ten thousand men after 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 the Lord confounded Sissera, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sissera alighted from his chariot, and fled away 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.
And Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, unto Charosheth-hagoyim: and all the army of Sissera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not left even one.
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.
But Sissera had fled away on foot to the tent of Ja'el the wife of Cheber the Kenite; for there was peace between Yabin the king of Chazor and the house of Cheber 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.
And Ja'el went out to meet Sissera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in unto me, fear not: and he turned in unto her into the 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.
And he said unto her, Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water; for I am thirsty: and she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him up.
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!
And he said unto her, Stand at the door of the tent; and it shall be, that, when any man should come and ask of thee, and say, Is there any man here? thou shalt 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.
And Ja'el the wife of Cheber took thereupon the nail of the tent, and placed a hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and struck the nail into his temple, and it became fastened in the ground; but he was fast asleep and weary; so 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.
And, behold, Barak came in pursuit of Sissera, and Ja'el came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou art seeking: and he came to her, and behold, Sissera was lying dead, with the nail in his temple.
23 Aa le nampiambanen’ Añahare amy andro zay añatrefa’ o ana’ Israeleo t’Iabine mpanjaka’ i Khanàne.
So did God humble on that day Yabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
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 children of Israel became constantly heavier upon Yabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Yabin the king of Canaan.
