< Abahluleli 4 >

1 Abako-Israyeli baphinda benza okubi phambi kukaThixo, emva kokuba u-Ehudi esefile.
Aa ie nivilasy t’i Ehode le nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà in­draike o ana’ Israeleo.
2 Ngakho uThixo wabanikela ezandleni zikaJabhini, inkosi yaseKhenani, owayebusa eHazori. Umlawuli webutho lakhe wayenguSisera, owayehlala eHaroshethi-Hagoyimi.
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.
3 Ngoba wayelezinqola zempi ezensimbi ezingamakhulu ayisificamunwemunye munye njalo encindezele abako-Israyeli kabuhlungu okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili, bacela usizo kuThixo.
Nikaikaik’ amy Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo, amy t’ie aman-tsarete vy sivan-jato, vaho vata’e namorekeke o ana’ Israeleo roapolo taoñe.
4 Ngalesosikhathi u-Israyeli wayekhokhelwa nguDibhora umphrofethikazi, umkaLaphidothi.
Nizaka Israele tañ’ andro izay ty rakemba atao Deborae, mpitoky, vali’ i Lapidote.
5 Wayethonisela amacala ngaphansi kwesihlahla seLala likaDibhora phakathi kweRama leBhetheli elizweni lezintaba lako-Efrayimi, njalo abantu bako-Israyeli baya kuye ukuba kwenziwe izinqumo ngemibono yabo.
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.
6 Wabiza uBharakhi indodana ka-Abhinowami waseKhedeshi koNafithali wathi kuye, “UThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uyakulaya uthi: ‘Suka, uhambe labantu bakoNafithali labakoZebhuluni abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi ubakhokhelele eNtabeni iThabhori.
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?
7 Ngizahugela uSisera, umlawuli webutho likaJabhini, lezinqola zakhe zempi kanye lamabutho emfuleni uKhishoni ngimnikele ezandleni zakho.’”
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.
8 UBharakhi wathi kuye, “Nxa uhamba lami, ngizahamba; kodwa nxa ungahambi lami, kangiyikuhamba.”
Le hoe t’i Barake tama’e, Kanao hindreza’o lia, le handeha iraho; fe naho tsy indreza’o, izaho tsy homb’eo.
9 UDibhora wathi, “Kulungile, ngizahamba lawe. Kodwa ngenxa yendlela oqhuba ngayo lokhu udumo kaluyikuba ngolwakho, ngoba uThixo uzanikela uSisera kowesifazane.” Ngakho uDibhora wahamba loBharakhi eKhedeshi
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.
10 lapho abizela khona uZebhuluni loNafithali. Abantu abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi bamlandela. UDibhora laye wahamba labo.
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.
11 Ngalesosikhathi uHebheri umKheni wayetshiye amanye amaKheni, izizukulwane zikaHobhabhi, uyisezala kaMosi, wamisa ithente lakhe phansi kwesihlahla somʼOkhi eZananimi eduze leKhedeshi.
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.
12 Kwathi uSisera sebemtshelile ukuthi uBharakhi indodana ka-Abhinowami wayeseye eNtabeni iThabhori,
Natalily amy Siserà te nionjomb’ am-bohi’ Tabore mb’eo t’i Barak’ ana’ i Abinoame.
13 uSisera waqoqela ndawonye izinqola zakhe zempi ezensimbi ezingamakhulu ayisificamunwemunye munye lawo wonke amadoda ayelaye, kusukela eHaroshethi-Hagoyimi kusiya emfuleni uKhishoni.
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.
14 UDibhora wasesithi kuBharakhi, “Hamba! Lolu yilo usuku uThixo anikele ngalo uSisera ezandleni zakho. Kanti uThixo kahambanga phambi kwakho na?” Ngakho uBharakhi wehlela eNtabeni iThabhori elandelwa ngabantu abazinkulungwane ezilitshumi.
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.
15 UBharakhi wathi esesondela uThixo wamhlasela uSisera lezinqola zakhe zonke zempi kanye lebutho ngenkemba, njalo uSisera watshiya izinqola zakhe zempi wabaleka ngezinyawo.
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.
16 Kodwa uBharakhi waxotshana lezinqola zempi lebutho waze wafika eHaroshethi-Hagoyimi. Wonke amabutho kaSisera abulawa ngenkemba, akukho muntu owasilayo.
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.
17 Kodwa uSisera wabaleka ngezinyawo waze wayafika ethenteni likaJayeli, umkaHebheri umKheni, ngoba kwakulobudlelwano obuhle phakathi kukaJabhini inkosi yaseHazori lomndeni kaHebheri umKheni.
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.
18 UJayeli waphuma wahlangabeza uSisera wasesithi kuye, “Woza nkosi yami, ngena phakathi sibili. Ungesabi.” Ngakho uSisera wangena ethenteni likaJayeli, wasemembesa ngengubo.
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.
19 Wasesithi, “Ngomile. Ake unginathise.” Wavula umxhaka wesikhumba sochago, wamnathisa, wasemembesa.
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.
20 USisera wasesithi, “Mana emnyango wethente. Kungaba lomuntu ofika akubuze athi, ‘Kulomuntu lapha na?’ wena kumele uthi ‘Hatshi.’”
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!
21 Kodwa uJayeli, umkaHebheri, wathatha isikhonkwane sethente lesando, wamnyenyela ephakathi kobuthongo obukhulu, ngoba wayediniwe. Wabethela isikhonkwane enhlafunweni sangena saze sayafika emhlabathini, wafa.
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.
22 UBharakhi wafika exotshana loSisera, uJayeli waphuma wayamhlangabeza. Wathi, “Woza, ngizakutshengisa umuntu omdingayo.” Ngakho wangena laye khonapho, uSisera wayelele isikhonkwane sethente singene satshona enhlafunweni yakhe esefile.
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.
23 Ngalolosuku uNkulunkulu wamnqoba uJabhini, inkosi yamaKhenani, phambi kwabako-Israyeli.
Aa le nampiambanen’ Añahare amy andro zay añatrefa’ o ana’ Israeleo t’Iabine mpanjaka’ i Khanàne.
24 Amandla abako-Israyeli okumelana loJabhini inkosi yamaKhenani akhula, aze amchitha.
Nandreketse erike am’ Iabine mpifehe’ i Khanàne ty fità’ o ana’ Israeleo, ampara’ te narotsa’ iareo t’Iabine mpifehe’ i Khanàne.
