Mpitsara 4
1 Aa ie nivilasy t’i Ehode le nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà indraike o ana’ Israeleo.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, 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.
Yahweh 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 of the Gentiles.
3 Nikaikaik’ amy Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo, amy t’ie aman-tsarete vy sivan-jato, vaho vata’e namorekeke o ana’ Israeleo roapolo taoñe.
The children of Israel cried to Yahweh, for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he mightily oppressed the children of Israel 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, 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.
She lived under Deborah’s palm tree between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country 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?
She sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh Naphtali, and said to him, “Hasn’t Yahweh, the God of Israel, commanded, ‘Go and lead the way to Mount Tabor, and take with you 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.
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 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, then 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.
She said, “I will surely go with you. Nevertheless, the journey that you take won’t be for your honor; for Yahweh will sell Sisera into a woman’s hand.” 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.
Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh. Ten thousand men followed him; and 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 Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab, Moses’ brother-in-law, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
12 Natalily amy Siserà te nionjomb’ am-bohi’ Tabore mb’eo t’i Barak’ ana’ i Abinoame.
They told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had 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.
Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles, 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.
Deborah said to Barak, “Go; for this is the day in which Yahweh has delivered Sisera into your hand. Hasn’t Yahweh gone out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and 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.
Yahweh confused Sisera, all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak. Sisera abandoned his chariot and fled away on his feet.
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.
But Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Harosheth of the Gentiles; and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword. There was not a man 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.
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 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 meet Sisera, and said to him, “Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; don’t be afraid.” He came in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
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.
He said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty.” She opened a container of milk, and gave him a drink, and covered him.
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!
He said to her, “Stand in the door of the tent, and if any man comes and inquires of you, and says, ‘Is there any man here?’ you shall 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.
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 fainted and 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.
Behold, 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 behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent peg was in his temples.
23 Aa le nampiambanen’ Añahare amy andro zay añatrefa’ o ana’ Israeleo t’Iabine mpanjaka’ i Khanàne.
So God subdued Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel on that day.
24 Nandreketse erike am’ Iabine mpifehe’ i Khanàne ty fità’ o ana’ Israeleo, ampara’ te narotsa’ iareo t’Iabine mpifehe’ i Khanàne.
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.
