Kaiwhakariterite 4
1 A, ka mate a Ehuru, ka mahi kino ano nga tamariki a Iharaira i te tirohanga a Ihowa.
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; now Ehud was dead.
2 Na ka hokona atu ratou e Ihowa ki te ringa o Iapini kingi o Kanaana, ko te kingi hoki ia o Hatoro, ko Hihera hoki te rangatira o tana ope; i Harohete ano hoki o nga tauiwi tona nohoanga.
And Jehovah sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; and the captain of his army was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth-Goim.
3 Na ka tangi nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Ihowa: e iwa rau nei hoki ana hariata rino, a e rua tekau nga tau i tukinotia rawatia ai e ia nga tamariki a Iharaira.
And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he mightily oppressed the children of Israel twenty years.
4 A ko Tepora poropiti, wahine a Rapiroto, ko ia te kaiwhakarite o Iharaira i taua wa.
And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, judged Israel at that time.
5 A ko tona nohoanga kei raro i te nikau a Tepora i te takiwa o Rama, o Peteere, i te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima: na ka haere nga tamariki a Iharaira ki runga, ki a ia kia whakawakia.
And she dwelt under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
6 Na ka tono tangata ia hei karanga i a Paraka tama a Apionoama i Kerehe Napatari, a ka mea ki a ia, Kihai ianei a Ihowa, te Atua o Iharaira i whakahau, Haere whakatata atu ki Maunga Taporo, mauria hoki hei hoa mou kia tekau mano tangata o nga tama riki a Napatari, o nga tamariki hoki a Hepurona?
And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-Naphtali, and said to him, Hath not Jehovah the God of Israel commanded? Go and draw towards mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun,
7 A maku e kukume atu ki a koe ki te awa, ki Kihona a Hihera rangatira o te ope a Iapini, me ana hariata, me ona mano; ka hoatu ano hoki e ahau ki tou ringa.
and I will draw unto thee, to the torrent Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, and his chariots and his multitude, and I will give him into thy hand.
8 Na ka mea a Paraka ki a ia, Ki te haere tahi koe i ahau, ka haere ahau; ki te kahore ia koe e haere tahi i ahau, e kore ahau e haere.
And Barak said to her, If thou goest with me, then I will go, but if thou goest not with me, I will not go.
9 A ka mea ia, Ae ra, me haere tahi taua: otiia e kore koe e whai kororia i te ara ka haere nei koe; ta te mea ka hokona atu e Ihowa a Hihera ki roto ki te ringa o te wahine. Na ka whakatika a Tepora, a haere tahi ana me Paraka ki Kerehe.
And she said, I will by all means go with thee, only that it will not be to thine honour upon the way which thou goest, for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 Katahi ka karangarangatia a Hepurona raua ko Napatari e Paraka ki Kerehe; a kotahi tekau mano nga tangata i haere i raro i ona waewae: i haere tahi ano hoki a Tepora i a ia.
And Barak called together Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and there went up at his feet ten thousand men; and Deborah went up with him.
11 Na kua wehe atu a Hepere te Keni i roto i nga Keni, i nga tamariki ano a Hopapa hungawai o Mohi; a tae noa atu tana whakaturanga teneti ki te oki i Taanaimi, ki tera i Kerehe.
(Now Heber the Kenite had severed himself from the Kenites, from the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak of Zaannaim, which is by Kedesh.)
12 A ka korerotia e ratou ki a Hihera, kua riro a Paraka tama a Apioama ki runga ki Maunga Taporo;
And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to mount Tabor.
13 Ka karangarangatia e Hihera ana hariata katoa, e iwa rau, he hariata rino, me tona nuinga katoa, i Harohete o nga tauiwi ki te awa, ki Kihona.
Then Sisera gathered together all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth-Goim to the torrent Kishon.
14 Ka mea hoki a Tepora ki a Paraka, Whakatika, ko te ra hoki tenei e tukua ai e Ihowa a Hihera ki tou ringa; kahore ianei a Ihowa i haere atu i mua i a koe? Na ko te haerenga iho o Paraka i runga i Maunga Taporo, kotahi tekau mano hoki nga tangata ki te whai i a ia.
And Deborah said to Barak, Up; for this is the day in which Jehovah hath given Sisera into thy hand! Is not Jehovah gone out before thee? And Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 A meinga ana e Ihowa a Hihera kia whati, me ana hariata katoa, me tana ope katoa, i te mata o te hoari i te aroaro o Paraka. Na ka marere iho a Hihera i runga i tana hariata, a rere a waewae ana.
And Jehovah discomfited Sisera, and all the chariots, and all the army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera got down from [his] chariot, and fled on foot.
16 Na ka whaia nga hariata me te ope e Paraka a tae noa ki Harohete o nga tauiwi: a hinga ana te ope katoa a Hihera i te mata o te hoari; kihai hoki tetahi i toe.
And Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, to Harosheth-Goim; and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not one was left.
17 Ko Hihera ia rere a waewae ana ki te teneti o Taere wahine a Hepere Keni: he rongo mau hoki ta Iapini kingi o Hatoro ratou ko te whare o Hepere, o te Keni.
And Sisera fled on foot 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 Na ka puta a Taere ki te whakatau i a Hihera, ka mea ki a ia, Peka mai, e toku ariki, peka mai ki ahau; kaua e wehi. Katahi ia ka peka atu ki a ia ki te teneti, a ka hipokina e ia ki te koroka.
And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And he turned in to her, into the tent, and she covered him with the quilt.
19 Ka mea atu ia ki te wahine, Homai koa he wai inu moku, kia iti nei; e matewai ana hoki ahau. Katahi ka wetekina e ia te koki waiu, a whakainumia ana ia, hipokina atu ana hoki.
And he said to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty. And she opened the flask of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
20 Na ka mea tera ki a ia, E tu ki te kuwaha o te teneti, a ki te haere mai he tangata ki te ui ki a koe, ki te mea, He tangata ranei kei konei? ka mea atu koe, Kahore.
And he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be if any one come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
21 Katahi ka tikina e Taere wahine a Hepere tetahi titi o te teneti, a ka mau tona ringa ki te hama, na ka haere toropuku atu ki a ia, heoi patua iho e ia te titi ki tona rahirahinga, a ngoto tonu atu ki te whenua: i parangia hoki ia e te moe, i ng enge. Na, ko tona hemonga, kua mate.
And Jael Heber's wife took a tent-pin, and took the hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and smote the pin into his temples, and it penetrated into the ground; for he had fallen into a deep sleep and was faint; and he died.
22 Na ko te whainga a Paraka i a Hihera; a ka puta atu a Taere ki te whakatau i a ia, ka mea ki a ia, Haere mai, a maku e whakaatu ki a koe tau tangata e rapu na. A, i tona haerenga atu ki a ia, na ko Hihera e takoto ana, kua mate, me te titi i ton a rahirahinga.
And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael went out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And he went into her [tent], and behold, Sisera lay dead, and the pin was in his temples.
23 Heoi hinga ana a Iapini kingi o Kanaana i te Atua i taua ra i te aroaro o nga tamariki a Iharaira.
So God subdued on that day Jabin king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
24 Na ka kaha haere tonu te ringa o nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Iapini kingi o Kanaana, a whakangaromia noatia e ratou a Iapini kingi o Kanaana.
And the hand of the children of Israel ever advanced, and prevailed against Jabin king of Canaan, until they had cut off Jabin king of Canaan.
