< Abahluleli 4 >
1 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebebuya besenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi esefile uEhudi.
HANA hewa hou aku la na mamo a Iseraela imua o Iehova, mahope iho o ka make ana o Ehuda.
2 INkosi yasibathengisa esandleni sikaJabini inkosi yeKhanani owayebusa eHazori. Lenduna yebutho lakhe yayinguSisera, owayehlala eHaroshethi labezizwe.
Hoolilo aku la o Iehova ia lakou i ka lima o Iabina, ke alii o Kanaana i noho alii ma Hazora; o Sisera ka alihikana no kona poe koa, a noho no ia ma Harosetagoima.
3 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebekhala eNkosini, ngoba wayelezinqola zensimbi ezingamakhulu ayisificamunwemunye, wabacindezela ngamandla abantwana bakoIsrayeli iminyaka engamatshumi amabili.
Kahea aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova, no ka mea, eiwa haneri ona kaakaua hao. Hookaumaha loa oia i na mamo a Iseraela, he iwakalua makahiki.
4 UDebora umfazi owayengumprofethikazi umkaLapidothi yena wahlulela uIsrayeli ngalesosikhathi.
O Debora, he kaula wahine, ka wahine a Lapidota, oia ka i hooponopono i ka Iseraela, ia manawa.
5 Wayehlala ngaphansi kwesihlahla selala sikaDebora phakathi kweRama leBhetheli entabeni yakoEfrayimi. Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenyukela kuye ukwahlulelwa.
Noho iho la ia malalo iho o ka laau pama o Debora, mawaena o Harama a me Betela, ma ka mauna o Eperaima; a hele mai la na mamo a Iseraela io na la i hooponoponoia mai.
6 Wasethuma wabiza uBaraki indodana kaAbinowama eKedeshi koNafithali, wathi kuye: INkosi uNkulunkulu wakoIsrayeli kayilayanga yini isithi: Hamba usondele entabeni yeThabhori, uzithathele amadoda azinkulungwane ezilitshumi ebantwaneni bakoNafithali lebantwaneni bakoZebuluni?
Hoouna oia, a kii aku la ia Baraka, ke keiki a Abinoama, ma Kedesa-Napetali, i ae la ia ia, Aole anei i kauoha mai o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela, O hele, e hookokoke aku ma ka mauna o Tabora; e lawe pu me oe, i umi tausani kanaka, na mamo a Napetali, a o na mamo a Zebuluna.
7 Njalo ngizadonsela kuwe esifuleni iKishoni uSisera induna yebutho likaJabini lenqola zakhe lexuku lakhe, ngimnikele esandleni sakho.
A na'u no e kai mai imua ou, ma ke kahawai o Kisona, ia Sisera, ka luna o ko Iabina poe koa, me kona poe kaakaua, a me kona lehulehu; a e haawi aku no au ia ia i kou lima.
8 UBaraki wasesithi kuye: Uba uhamba lami, ngizahamba; kodwa uba ungahambi lami, kangiyikuhamba.
I ae la o Baraka ia ia, Ina e hele pu oe me au, alaila, hele au; a i ole oe e hele pu me au, alaila, aole au e hele.
9 Wasesithi: Ngizahamba lokuhamba lawe, kodwa udumo kaluyikuba ngolwakho ngendlela ohamba ngayo, ngoba iNkosi izathengisa uSisera esandleni sowesifazana. Wasesukuma uDebora, wahamba loBaraki waya eKedeshi.
I aku la oia, I ka hele ana, e hele pu no au me oe. Aka, o keia hele ana au e hele ai, aole oe e hoonaniia ilaila, no ka mea, e haawi ana o Iehova ia Sisera i ka lima o kekahi wahine. Ku ae la o Debora, a hele pu aku la me Baraka i Kedesa.
10 UBaraki wasebizela oZebuluni loNafithali eKedeshi. Kwasekusenyuka amadoda azinkulungwane ezilitshumi amlandela, loDebora wenyuka laye.
Hoakoakoa mai la o Baraka i ka Zebuluna, a me ka Napetali i Kedesa; a pii pu aku la ia me na kanaka, he umi tausani, ma kona wawae, a pii pu aku la o Debora me ia.
11 UHeberi umKeni wazehlukanisa-ke lamaKeni, abantwana bakaHobabi uyisezala kaMozisi, wamisa ithente lakhe kwaze kwaba sesihlahleni se-okhi eZahananimi eseduze leKedeshi.
O Hebera no ko Kena, no na mamo a Hobaba, ka makuahonowaikane o Mose, ua hookaawale oia ia ia iho, mai ko Kena aku, a ua hoomoana ae oia ma na papu o Zaanaima, e kokoke ana ia kedesa.
12 Basebebikela uSisera ukuthi uBaraki indodana kaAbinowama usenyukele entabeni yeThabhori.
Hoike ae la lakou ia Sisera, ua pii aku o Baraka, ke keiki a Abinoama i ka mauna o Tabora.
13 USisera wasebiza zonke izinqola zakhe, inqola ezingamakhulu ayisificamunwemunye zensimbi, labo bonke abantu ababelaye, kusukela eHaroshethi labezizwe kuze kufike esifuleni iKishoni.
Kii aku la o Sisera i kona mau kaakaua a pau loa, eiwa haneri kaa hao, a me kona poe kanaka a pau loa, mai Harosetagoima a hiki i ke kahawai o Kisona.
14 UDebora wasesithi kuBaraki: Vuka! Ngoba yilo lolusuku iNkosi enikele ngalo uSisera esandleni sakho. Kayihambanga yini iNkosi phambi kwakho? Ngakho uBaraki wehla entabeni iThabhori lamadoda azinkulungwane ezilitshumi ngemva kwakhe.
I ae la o Debora ia Baraka, E ku mai; no ka mea, eia ka la e haswi mai ai o Iehova ia Sisera i kou lima. Aole anei i hele aku o Iehova mamua ou? Iho aku la o Baraka, mai ka mauna o Tabora aku, a me na kanaka he umi tausani pu me ia.
15 INkosi yasimsanganisa uSisera lazo zonke izinqola lebutho lonke ngobukhali benkemba phambi kukaBaraki, kwaze kwathi uSisera wehla enqoleni wabaleka ngenyawo zakhe.
Hooauhee aku la o Iehova ia Sisera, a me na kaa a pau, a me ka puali a pau imua o Baraka, me ka maka o ka pahikaua. Iho iho la o Sisera, mai ke kaakaua iho, a holo aku la ma kona wawae.
16 UBaraki wasexotshana lezinqola lebutho, waze wafika eHaroshethi labezizwe; ibutho lonke likaSisera laselisiwa ngobukhali benkemba; kakusalanga loyedwa.
Hahai aku la o Baraka mahope o na kaakaua, a mahope o ka puali, a hiki i Harosetagoima. A haule iho la ka puali a pau o Sisera, ma ka maka o ka pahikaua, aole hookahi kanaka i koe.
17 Kodwa uSisera wabaleka ngenyawo zakhe waya ethenteni likaJayeli umkaHeberi umKeni, ngoba kwakulokuthula phakathi kukaJabini inkosi yeHazori lendlu kaHeberi umKeni.
Holo aku la o Sisera ma kona wawae, a i ka halelewa o Iaela ka wahine a Hebera no ko Kena; no ka mea, ua noho kuikahi o Iabina, ke alii o Hazora me ka poe o Hebera no ko Kena.
18 UJayeli wasephuma ukuhlangabeza uSisera, wathi kuye: Phambuka, nkosi yami, phambukela kimi, ungesabi. Wasephambukela kuye ethenteni, wamembesa ngengubo.
Hele aku o Iaela iwaho e halawai me Sisera, i aku la ia ia, E kipa mai oe, e kuu haku, e kipa mai oe iloko, ma o'u nei; mai makau. Kipa ae la oia ma ona la, iloko o ka halelewa, a uhi mai la oia ia ia i ke kapa moe.
19 Wasesithi kuye: Akunginathise amanzi amalutshwana ngoba ngomile. Wasesibukula igula lochago, wamnathisa, wamembesa.
I mai la kela, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e haawi mai oe ia'u i wahi wai uuku e inu, no ka mea, ua makewai au. Wehe ae la oia i ka hue waiu, hooinu aku la, a uhi iho la ia ia.
20 Wasesithi kuye: Mana emnyango wethente; kuzakuthi-ke, uba kufika umuntu kuwe ekubuza esithi: Kulomuntu lapha yini? Uzakuthi: Kakulamuntu.
Olelo hou mai kela ia ia, E ku oe ma ka puka o ka halelewa, a hiki i ka manawa e hele mai ai ke kanaka e ninau mai ia oe, i ka i ana mai, He kanaka anei maanei? e i aku oe, Aole.
21 Kodwa uJayeli umkaHeberi wathatha isikhonkwane sethente, wafaka isando esandleni sakhe, wamnyenyela, wabethela isikhonkwane enhlafunweni yakhe sangena emhlabathini, ngoba yena wayelele ubuthongo obukhulu, ediniwe, wasesifa.
Lalau iho la o Iaela, ka wahine a Hebera, i ke kui o ka halelewa, a kau ka hamare ma kekahi lima ona, a hele malu aku la io na la, a makia iho la i kona maha i ke kui, a paa i ka lepo; no ka mea, ua hiamoe paa loa ia, i kona una ana. A make no ia.
22 Khangela-ke, uBaraki waxotsha uSisera; uJayeli wasephuma ukumhlangabeza wathi kuye: Woza, ngizakutshengisa umuntu omdingayo. Wasengena ethenteni lakhe, khangela-ke, uSisera wayelele efile, lesikhonkwane sasisenhlafunweni yakhe.
Aia hoi, i ko Baraka hahai ana ia Sisera, puka mai o Iaela iwaho, e halawai me ia, i ae la ia ia, E hele mai a e hoike aku au ia oe i ke kanaka au e imi nei. Komo aku la ia io na la, aia hoi, e waiho ana ia, ua make, a o ke kui hoi, aia no iloko o kona maha.
23 Ngakho ngalolosuku uNkulunkulu wamehlisela phansi uJabini inkosi yeKhanani phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Ia la no, hoopio aku la ke Akua ia Iabina, ke alii o Kanaana imua o na mamo a Iseraela.
24 Isandla sabantwana bakoIsrayeli saqhubeka-ke saba nzima phezu kukaJabini inkosi yeKhanani, baze bamchitha uJabini inkosi yeKhanani.
Lanakila aku la ka lima o na mamo a Iseraela, a kaumaha iho la maluna o Iabina ke alii o Kanaana, a hiki i ka wa i oki hoopau ai lakou ia Iabina, i ke alii o Kanaana.
