Abahluleli 4
1 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebebuya besenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi esefile uEhudi.
Pea naʻe toe fai kovi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, hili ʻene mate ʻa ʻEhuti.
2 INkosi yasibathengisa esandleni sikaJabini inkosi yeKhanani owayebusa eHazori. Lenduna yebutho lakhe yayinguSisera, owayehlala eHaroshethi labezizwe.
Pea naʻe fakatau ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki he nima ʻo Sapini, ko e tuʻi ʻo Kēnani, ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi Hasoa; ko e ʻeiki ʻoe tau ʻaʻana ko Sisela, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Haloseti ʻoe ngaahi kolo taʻelotu.
3 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebekhala eNkosini, ngoba wayelezinqola zensimbi ezingamakhulu ayisificamunwemunye, wabacindezela ngamandla abantwana bakoIsrayeli iminyaka engamatshumi amabili.
Pea naʻe tangi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova: he naʻe ʻiate ia ʻae saliote ʻaione ʻe hivangeau; pea naʻa ne fakamamahi lahi ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he taʻu ʻe uofulu.
4 UDebora umfazi owayengumprofethikazi umkaLapidothi yena wahlulela uIsrayeli ngalesosikhathi.
Pea ko Tepola, ko e fefine palōfita, ko e uaifi ʻo Lapetoti, naʻa ne fakamaauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi he kuonga ko ia.
5 Wayehlala ngaphansi kwesihlahla selala sikaDebora phakathi kweRama leBhetheli entabeni yakoEfrayimi. Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenyukela kuye ukwahlulelwa.
Pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he lolo ponga, ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo Lama mo Peteli ʻi he moʻunga ʻo ʻIfalemi: pea naʻe ʻalu hake kiate ia ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he fakamaau.
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?
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ʻo ui kia Pelaki ko e foha ʻo ʻApinoami mei Ketesi-Nafitali, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻIkai kuo fekau ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻAlu ʻo ʻunuʻunu atu ki he moʻunga ko Tepoa, pea ke ʻave ʻae kau tangata ʻe toko mano ʻi he fānau ʻa Nafitalai pea ʻi he fānau ʻa Sepuloni?
7 Njalo ngizadonsela kuwe esifuleni iKishoni uSisera induna yebutho likaJabini lenqola zakhe lexuku lakhe, ngimnikele esandleni sakho.
Pea te u toho ki he vaitafe ko Kisoni ʻa Sisela, ko e ʻeikitau ʻoe kautau ʻo Sapini, mo ʻene ngaahi saliote mo hono fuʻu kakai; pea te u tukuange ia ki ho nima.’”
8 UBaraki wasesithi kuye: Uba uhamba lami, ngizahamba; kodwa uba ungahambi lami, kangiyikuhamba.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Pelaki kiate ia, “Kapau te ta ō mo koe, pea te u ʻalu: pea kapau ʻe ʻikai te ta ō mo koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu.”
9 Wasesithi: Ngizahamba lokuhamba lawe, kodwa udumo kaluyikuba ngolwakho ngendlela ohamba ngayo, ngoba iNkosi izathengisa uSisera esandleni sowesifazana. Wasesukuma uDebora, wahamba loBaraki waya eKedeshi.
Pea pehē ʻe ia, “Te ta ō moʻoni mo koe: ka ko e moʻoni ko e fononga ni ʻoku ke ʻalu ai ʻe ʻikai te ke ongolelei ai koe; koeʻuhi ʻe fakatau ʻe Sihova ʻa Sisela ki he nima ʻo ha fefine.” Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Tepola, ʻo na ō mo Pelaki ki Ketesi.
10 UBaraki wasebizela oZebuluni loNafithali eKedeshi. Kwasekusenyuka amadoda azinkulungwane ezilitshumi amlandela, loDebora wenyuka laye.
Pea naʻe ui ʻe Pelaki ke haʻu ki Ketesi ʻa Sepuloni mo Nafitalai; pea naʻe ʻalu hake ia mo e kau tangata ʻe tokotaha mano naʻe muimui ʻiate ia: pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Tepola mo ia.
11 UHeberi umKeni wazehlukanisa-ke lamaKeni, abantwana bakaHobabi uyisezala kaMozisi, wamisa ithente lakhe kwaze kwaba sesihlahleni se-okhi eZahananimi eseduze leKedeshi.
Pea ko Hepa ko e tangata Kena, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he fānau ʻa Hopapi ko e tamai ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese, kuo ne fakamavahe ia mei he kau Kena, ʻo ne fokotuʻu hono fale fehikitaki ʻi he toafa ko Seaneimi, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi Ketesi.
12 Basebebikela uSisera ukuthi uBaraki indodana kaAbinowama usenyukele entabeni yeThabhori.
Pea naʻa nau fakahā kia Sisela ʻae ʻalu hake ʻa Pelaki ko e foha ʻo ʻApinoami ki he moʻunga ko Tepoa.
13 USisera wasebiza zonke izinqola zakhe, inqola ezingamakhulu ayisificamunwemunye zensimbi, labo bonke abantu ababelaye, kusukela eHaroshethi labezizwe kuze kufike esifuleni iKishoni.
Pea naʻe tānaki fakataha ʻe Sisela ʻa ʻene ngaahi saliote ʻaione ʻe hivangeau, pea mo e kakai kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, mei Haloseti ʻoe ngaahi kolo taʻelotu ʻo ʻalu ki he vai lahi ʻo 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.
Pea pehē ʻe Tepola kia Pelaki, “Tuʻu hake, he ko e ʻaho ko eni kuo tukuange ʻe Sihova ʻa Sisela ki ho nima: ʻikai kuo ʻalu muʻomuʻa ʻa Sihova ʻiate koe?” Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hifo ai ʻa Pelaki mei he moʻunga ko Tepoa, pea muimui ʻiate ia ʻae kau tangata ʻe tokotaha mano.
15 INkosi yasimsanganisa uSisera lazo zonke izinqola lebutho lonke ngobukhali benkemba phambi kukaBaraki, kwaze kwathi uSisera wehla enqoleni wabaleka ngenyawo zakhe.
Pea naʻe veuveuki ʻe Sihova ʻa Sisela mo ʻene ngaahi saliote, mo ʻene tau kotoa pē, ʻaki ʻae mata ʻoe heletā ʻi he ʻao ʻo Pelaki: ko ia naʻe hifo ai ʻa Sisela mei heʻene saliote, pea hola ʻi hono vaʻe ke mamaʻo.
16 UBaraki wasexotshana lezinqola lebutho, waze wafika eHaroshethi labezizwe; ibutho lonke likaSisera laselisiwa ngobukhali benkemba; kakusalanga loyedwa.
Ka naʻe tuli ʻe Pelaki ki he ngaahi saliote, mo e tau, ki Haloseti ʻoe ngaahi kolo taʻelotu: pea naʻe tō ʻae tau kotoa pē ʻa Sisela ki he mata ʻoe heletā: pea naʻe ʻikai fakatoe ha tangata.
17 Kodwa uSisera wabaleka ngenyawo zakhe waya ethenteni likaJayeli umkaHeberi umKeni, ngoba kwakulokuthula phakathi kukaJabini inkosi yeHazori lendlu kaHeberi umKeni.
Ka ko e moʻoni naʻe hola ke mamaʻo ʻa Sisela ʻi hono vaʻe ki he fale ʻo Saeli ko e uaifi ʻo Hepa ko e tangata Kena; he naʻe melino ʻa Sapini ko e tuʻi ʻo Hasoa mo e fale ʻo Hepa ko e tangata Kena.
18 UJayeli wasephuma ukuhlangabeza uSisera, wathi kuye: Phambuka, nkosi yami, phambukela kimi, ungesabi. Wasephambukela kuye ethenteni, wamembesa ngengubo.
Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Saeli ke fakafetaulaki kia Sisela, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Afe mai, ʻE hoku ʻeiki, afe mai kiate au; ʻoua naʻa manavahē.” Pea ʻi heʻene afe kiate ia ki he fale naʻa ne ʻufiʻufi ʻaki ʻe ia ia ʻae pulupulu.
19 Wasesithi kuye: Akunginathise amanzi amalutshwana ngoba ngomile. Wasesibukula igula lochago, wamnathisa, wamembesa.
Pea pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku mai ha vai siʻi ke u inu; he ʻoku ou fieinua.” Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe ia ʻae hina huʻahuhu, ʻo ne ʻatu ia ke ne inu, pea ʻufiʻufi ʻe ia ia.
20 Wasesithi kuye: Mana emnyango wethente; kuzakuthi-ke, uba kufika umuntu kuwe ekubuza esithi: Kulomuntu lapha yini? Uzakuthi: Kakulamuntu.
Pea toe lea ʻe ia kiate ia, “Tuʻu ʻi he matapā ʻoe fale, pea ʻe pehē, kapau ʻe haʻu ha tangata ʻo fehuʻi kiate koe, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku ʻi heni ha tangata,” pea ke pehē ai ʻe koe, “ʻOku ʻikai.”
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.
Pea naʻe toʻo ʻe Saeli ko e uaifi ʻo Hepa ʻae faʻo ʻoe fale, pea toʻo ʻae hamala ʻi hono nima, pea naʻe ʻalu fakaʻeteʻete ia kiate ia, pea tuki ʻae faʻo ki hono ʻulu ke ʻasi ʻo fakamaʻu ʻaki ia ki he kelekele: he naʻe maʻu pe ʻene mohe, pea naʻa ne ongosia. Pea naʻe mate ai 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.
Pea vakai, ʻi he tuli ʻe Pelaki ʻa Sisela, naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ʻa Saeli ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Haʻu, pea te u fakahā kiate koe ʻae tangata ʻoku ke kumi.” Pea ʻi heʻene hū mo ia, vakai, kuo tuku ʻi ai ʻa Sisela kuo mate, pea naʻe ʻi hono ʻulu ʻae faʻo.
23 Ngakho ngalolosuku uNkulunkulu wamehlisela phansi uJabini inkosi yeKhanani phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Naʻe pehē ʻae fakavaivai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻa Sapini ko e tuʻi ʻo Kēnani ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
24 Isandla sabantwana bakoIsrayeli saqhubeka-ke saba nzima phezu kukaJabini inkosi yeKhanani, baze bamchitha uJabini inkosi yeKhanani.
Pea naʻe fakamonūʻia ʻo mālohi ʻae nima ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sapini ko e tuʻi ʻo Kēnani, ʻo aʻu ki heʻenau fakaʻauha ʻa Sapini ko e tuʻi ʻo Kēnani.
