Kaiwhakariterite 4
1 A, ka mate a Ehuru, ka mahi kino ano nga tamariki a Iharaira i te tirohanga a Ihowa.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, when 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.
The LORD 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 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.
The children of Israel cried to the LORD, for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he mightily oppressed the children of Israel for twenty years.
4 A ko Tepora poropiti, wahine a Rapiroto, ko ia te kaiwhakarite o Iharaira i taua wa.
Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, 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.
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 judgement.
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?
She sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh Naphtali, and said to him, “Hasn’t the LORD, 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
She said, “I will surely go with you. Nevertheless, the journey that you take won’t be for your honour; for the LORD will sell Sisera into a woman’s hand.” 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.
Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh. Ten thousand men followed him; 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 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 A ka korerotia e ratou ki a Hihera, kua riro a Paraka tama a Apioama ki runga ki Maunga Taporo;
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.
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 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.
Deborah said to Barak, “Go; for this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Hasn’t the LORD gone out before you?” So 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.
The LORD 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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
He said to her, “Stand in the door of the tent, and if any man comes and enquires of you, and says, ‘Is there any man here?’ you shall 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.
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 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.
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 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 Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel on that day.
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.
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.
