Ekudi bwe yamala okufa Abayisirayiri ne bakola nate ebibi eri Mukama.
2 INkosi yasibathengisa esandleni sikaJabini inkosi yeKhanani owayebusa eHazori. Lenduna yebutho lakhe yayinguSisera, owayehlala eHaroshethi labezizwe.
Mukama n’abawaayo mu mikono gya Yabini Kabaka wa Kanani, eyabeeranga e Kazoli; omuduumizi w’eggye lye nga ye Sisera eyabeeranga e Kalosesi eky’abamawanga.
3 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebekhala eNkosini, ngoba wayelezinqola zensimbi ezingamakhulu ayisificamunwemunye, wabacindezela ngamandla abantwana bakoIsrayeli iminyaka engamatshumi amabili.
Yabini yalina amagaali ag’ekyuma lwenda, era n’ajoogera Abayisirayiri emyaka amakumi abiri, kyebaava balaajaanira Mukama abayambe.
4 UDebora umfazi owayengumprofethikazi umkaLapidothi yena wahlulela uIsrayeli ngalesosikhathi.
Awo Nnabbi Debola mukazi wa Leppidosi ye yali akulembera Abayisirayiri mu kiseera ekyo.
5 Wayehlala ngaphansi kwesihlahla selala sikaDebora phakathi kweRama leBhetheli entabeni yakoEfrayimi. Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenyukela kuye ukwahlulelwa.
Era bulijjo yatuulanga wansi w’olukindu olwayitibwanga olwa Debola wakati w’e Lama ne Beseri mu kitundu kya Efulayimu eky’ensozi: Abayisirayiri ne bajjanga gyali okubalamula.
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?
N’atumya Baraki mutabani wa Abinoamu ave mu Kedesi ekitundu kya Nafutaali, n’amugamba nti, “Mukama Katonda w’Abayisirayiri akulagidde nti, ‘Ggenda okuŋŋaanyize abasajja bo ku lusozi Taboli, obalondemu omutwalo gumu okuva mu kika ekya Nafutaali n’ekya Zebbulooni.
7 Njalo ngizadonsela kuwe esifuleni iKishoni uSisera induna yebutho likaJabini lenqola zakhe lexuku lakhe, ngimnikele esandleni sakho.
Ndisindika gy’oli ku mugga Kisoni, Sisera omuduumizi w’eggye lya Yabini, n’amagaali ge n’abalwanyi be era ndibawaayo mu mikono gyo.’”
8 UBaraki wasesithi kuye: Uba uhamba lami, ngizahamba; kodwa uba ungahambi lami, kangiyikuhamba.
Baraki n’amuddamu nti, “Kale nnaagenda bw’onokkiriza ŋŋende naawe, naye bw’otokkirize nange siigende.”
9 Wasesithi: Ngizahamba lokuhamba lawe, kodwa udumo kaluyikuba ngolwakho ngendlela ohamba ngayo, ngoba iNkosi izathengisa uSisera esandleni sowesifazana. Wasesukuma uDebora, wahamba loBaraki waya eKedeshi.
Debola n’amugamba nti, “Wewaawo nnaagenda naawe, naye ekitiibwa n’obuwanguzi tebiibe bibyo, kubanga Mukama aliwaayo Sisera awangulwe mu mikono gy’omukazi.” Baraki n’addayo ne Debola e Kedesi.
10 UBaraki wasebizela oZebuluni loNafithali eKedeshi. Kwasekusenyuka amadoda azinkulungwane ezilitshumi amlandela, loDebora wenyuka laye.
Baraki n’ayita ab’ekika kya Zebbulooni n’ekya Nafutaali bakuŋŋaanire e Kedesi, abasajja omutwalo gumu ne bamugoberera awamu ne Debola.
11 UHeberi umKeni wazehlukanisa-ke lamaKeni, abantwana bakaHobabi uyisezala kaMozisi, wamisa ithente lakhe kwaze kwaba sesihlahleni se-okhi eZahananimi eseduze leKedeshi.
Keberi Omukeeni yazimba eweema ye okumpi n’omuti omwera e Zaanannimu ekiri okumpi ne Kedesi oluvannyuma lw’okwawukana ne Bakeeni banne, bazzukulu ba Kobabu mukoddomi wa Musa.
12 Basebebikela uSisera ukuthi uBaraki indodana kaAbinowama usenyukele entabeni yeThabhori.
Awo Sisera bwe yamanya nga Baraki mutabani wa Abinoamu atuuse ku Lusozi Taboli,
13 USisera wasebiza zonke izinqola zakhe, inqola ezingamakhulu ayisificamunwemunye zensimbi, labo bonke abantu ababelaye, kusukela eHaroshethi labezizwe kuze kufike esifuleni iKishoni.
n’akuŋŋaanya amagaali ge gonna lwenda ag’ekyuma, n’abalwanyi be bonna okuva ku Kalosesi eky’abamawanga okutuuka ku mugga Kisoni.
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.
Debola n’agamba Baraki nti, “Mukama si y’akukulembedde! Noolwekyo situkiramu kubanga olwa leero Mukama awaddeyo Sisera mu mikono gyo.” Awo Baraki n’ava ku lusozi Taboli n’abalwanyi be omutwalo gumu.
15 INkosi yasimsanganisa uSisera lazo zonke izinqola lebutho lonke ngobukhali benkemba phambi kukaBaraki, kwaze kwathi uSisera wehla enqoleni wabaleka ngenyawo zakhe.
Mukama n’afufuggaza n’ekitala Sisera n’amagaali gonna n’eggye lye lyonna nga Baraki alaba; Sisera n’abuuka mu ggaali lye, n’adduka.
16 UBaraki wasexotshana lezinqola lebutho, waze wafika eHaroshethi labezizwe; ibutho lonke likaSisera laselisiwa ngobukhali benkemba; kakusalanga loyedwa.
Baraki n’afubutula eggye lya Sisera n’amagaali gaalyo okutuuka e Keloseesi eky’amawanga; era n’abatta n’ekitala obutalekaawo yadde n’omu.
17 Kodwa uSisera wabaleka ngenyawo zakhe waya ethenteni likaJayeli umkaHeberi umKeni, ngoba kwakulokuthula phakathi kukaJabini inkosi yeHazori lendlu kaHeberi umKeni.
Naye Sisera n’addukira eri eweema ya Yayeeri mukazi w’Omukeeni Keberi: Kubanga waaliwo enkolagana wakati wa kabaka w’e Kazoli, Yabini n’ab’omu maka g’Omukeeni Keberi.
18 UJayeli wasephuma ukuhlangabeza uSisera, wathi kuye: Phambuka, nkosi yami, phambukela kimi, ungesabi. Wasephambukela kuye ethenteni, wamembesa ngengubo.
Yayeeri n’afuluma okusisinkana Sisera; n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange yingira mu weema yange, totya.” Sisera n’ayingira mu weema. Yayeeri n’amubikkako omunagiro.
19 Wasesithi kuye: Akunginathise amanzi amalutshwana ngoba ngomile. Wasesibukula igula lochago, wamnathisa, wamembesa.
Namwegayirira nti, “Mpa ku tuzzi nnyweko kubanga ennyonta enzita.” N’asumulula eddiba omufukibwa amata n’amunywesa oluvannyuma n’amubikkako.
20 Wasesithi kuye: Mana emnyango wethente; kuzakuthi-ke, uba kufika umuntu kuwe ekubuza esithi: Kulomuntu lapha yini? Uzakuthi: Kakulamuntu.
Sisera n’agamba Yayeeri nti, “Yimirira mu mulyango gwa weema eno, omuntu yenna bw’ajja n’akubuuza obanga muno mulimu omusajja yenna, omuddamu nti, ‘Temuli.’”
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.
Awo Sisera bwe yali nga ali mu tulo tungi, Yayeeri mukazi wa Keberi n’addira enkondo ya weema n’ennyondo n’amusooberera n’amukomerera enkondo mu kyenyi, n’eyitamu n’ekwata n’ettaka n’afa.
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.
Awo Baraki bwe yali nga anoonya Sisera, Yayeeri n’afuluma okumusisinkana, n’amugamba nti, “Jjangu nkulage omusajja gw’onoonya. Baraki n’ayingira mu weema n’alaba omulambo ggwa Sisera nga gukubiddwamu enkondo mu kyenyi.”
23 Ngakho ngalolosuku uNkulunkulu wamehlisela phansi uJabini inkosi yeKhanani phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Ku lunaku olwo Katonda n’awa Abayisirayiri obuwanguzi ku Yabini kabaka wa Kanani.
24 Isandla sabantwana bakoIsrayeli saqhubeka-ke saba nzima phezu kukaJabini inkosi yeKhanani, baze bamchitha uJabini inkosi yeKhanani.
Abayisirayiri ne beeyongera okufufuggaza Yabini kabaka wa Kanani okutuusa lwe bamuzikiririzza ddala.
