1 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebebuya besenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi esefile uEhudi.
Ehud wuo akyi no, Israelfoɔ no yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so bio.
2 INkosi yasibathengisa esandleni sikaJabini inkosi yeKhanani owayebusa eHazori. Lenduna yebutho lakhe yayinguSisera, owayehlala eHaroshethi labezizwe.
Enti, Awurade de wɔn hyɛɛ Kanaanhene Yabin a na ɔdi adeɛ wɔ Hasor no nsa. Na ɔsahene a ɔtua nʼakodɔm ano no din de Sisera a na ɔte Haroset-Hagoyim.
3 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebekhala eNkosini, ngoba wayelezinqola zensimbi ezingamakhulu ayisificamunwemunye, wabacindezela ngamandla abantwana bakoIsrayeli iminyaka engamatshumi amabili.
Na Sisera wɔ nnadeɛ nteaseɛnam aha nkron, na ɔde atirimuɔden hyɛɛ Israelfoɔ no so mfirinhyia aduonu. Afei Israelfoɔ no su frɛɛ Awurade pɛɛ mmoa.
4 UDebora umfazi owayengumprofethikazi umkaLapidothi yena wahlulela uIsrayeli ngalesosikhathi.
Debora a na ɔyɛ Lapidot yere ne odiyifoɔ baa na ɔbɛyɛɛ Israelfoɔ ɔtemmufoɔ.
5 Wayehlala ngaphansi kwesihlahla selala sikaDebora phakathi kweRama leBhetheli entabeni yakoEfrayimi. Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebesenyukela kuye ukwahlulelwa.
Na ɔtenaa Debora Abɛ Dua ase a ɛwɔ Rama ne Bet-El ntam wɔ Efraim bepɔ asase no so. Ɛhɔ na na Israelfoɔ no kɔ ma ɔdi wɔn nsɛm.
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?
Ɛda bi, ɔsoma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Abinoam babarima Barak a na ɔte Kedes wɔ Naftali asase so. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sei na Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn hyɛ wo sɛ yɛ: Kɔboaboa akofoɔ ɔpedu ano firi Naftali ne Sebulon mmusuakuo mu wɔ Tabor bepɔ so hɔ.
7 Njalo ngizadonsela kuwe esifuleni iKishoni uSisera induna yebutho likaJabini lenqola zakhe lexuku lakhe, ngimnikele esandleni sakho.
Mɛdaadaa Yabin akodɔm sahene Sisera ne ne nteaseɛnam ne akofoɔ akɔ Asubɔnten Kison ho. Ɛhɔ na mɛma woadi ne so nkonim.”
8 UBaraki wasesithi kuye: Uba uhamba lami, ngizahamba; kodwa uba ungahambi lami, kangiyikuhamba.
Barak ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Sɛ wo ne me bɛkɔ dea, mɛkɔ!”
9 Wasesithi: Ngizahamba lokuhamba lawe, kodwa udumo kaluyikuba ngolwakho ngendlela ohamba ngayo, ngoba iNkosi izathengisa uSisera esandleni sowesifazana. Wasesukuma uDebora, wahamba loBaraki waya eKedeshi.
Debora buaa no sɛ, “Mate, me ne wo bɛkɔ, nanso worennya animuonyam biara wɔ dwumadie yi mu, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade nkonimdie wɔ Sisera so no bɛfiri ɔbaa nsam.” Enti, Debora ne Barak kɔɔ Kedes.
10 UBaraki wasebizela oZebuluni loNafithali eKedeshi. Kwasekusenyuka amadoda azinkulungwane ezilitshumi amlandela, loDebora wenyuka laye.
Kedes hɔ, Barak frɛfrɛɛ Sebulon abusuakuo ne Naftali abusuakuo mu nnipa nyinaa, na akofoɔ ɔpedu ne no kɔeɛ. Debora nso kaa wɔn ho kɔeɛ.
11 UHeberi umKeni wazehlukanisa-ke lamaKeni, abantwana bakaHobabi uyisezala kaMozisi, wamisa ithente lakhe kwaze kwaba sesihlahleni se-okhi eZahananimi eseduze leKedeshi.
Na Kenini Heber atwe ne ho afiri Kenifoɔ a wɔyɛ Mose akonta Hobab asefoɔ no ho, akɔsi ne ntomadan wɔ dua kɛseɛ bi a ɛsi Saananim a ɛbɛn Kedes no ho.
12 Basebebikela uSisera ukuthi uBaraki indodana kaAbinowama usenyukele entabeni yeThabhori.
Ɛberɛ a wɔka kyerɛɛ Sisera sɛ Abinoam ba Barak aforo kɔ Tabor bepɔ so no,
13 USisera wasebiza zonke izinqola zakhe, inqola ezingamakhulu ayisificamunwemunye zensimbi, labo bonke abantu ababelaye, kusukela eHaroshethi labezizwe kuze kufike esifuleni iKishoni.
ɔboaboaa ne nnadeɛ nteaseɛnam aha nkron ano ne nʼakofoɔ nyinaa, na wɔtu tene firii Haroset-Hagoyim kɔɔ Asubɔnten Kison ho.
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.
Afei, Debora ka kyerɛɛ Barak sɛ, “Yɛ ahoboa! Ɛnnɛ ne ɛda a Awurade de Sisera so nkonimdie bɛma wo, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade atu sa adi wʼanim.” Enti, Barak dii nʼakodɔm ɔpedu anim sianee Tabor bepɔ no kɔkoeɛ.
15 INkosi yasimsanganisa uSisera lazo zonke izinqola lebutho lonke ngobukhali benkemba phambi kukaBaraki, kwaze kwathi uSisera wehla enqoleni wabaleka ngenyawo zakhe.
Ɛberɛ a Barak to hyɛɛ wɔn so no, Awurade maa huboa bɔɔ Sisera, ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ ne nʼakofoɔ no nyinaa. Ɛbaa saa no, Sisera huri firii ne teaseɛnam mu sii fam dwaneeɛ.
16 UBaraki wasexotshana lezinqola lebutho, waze wafika eHaroshethi labezizwe; ibutho lonke likaSisera laselisiwa ngobukhali benkemba; kakusalanga loyedwa.
Barak nteaseɛnam ne ɔtamfoɔ no akodɔm no ara kɔsii Haroset-Hagoyim, kunkumm Sisera akofoɔ no nyinaa. Anka wɔn mu baako mpo.
17 Kodwa uSisera wabaleka ngenyawo zakhe waya ethenteni likaJayeli umkaHeberi umKeni, ngoba kwakulokuthula phakathi kukaJabini inkosi yeHazori lendlu kaHeberi umKeni.
Sisera dwane kɔhyɛɛ Kenini Heber yere Yael ntomadan mu, ɛfiri sɛ, na Heber abusuafoɔ ne Hasorhene Yabin wɔ ayɔnkofa.
18 UJayeli wasephuma ukuhlangabeza uSisera, wathi kuye: Phambuka, nkosi yami, phambukela kimi, ungesabi. Wasephambukela kuye ethenteni, wamembesa ngengubo.
Yael firii adi kɔhyiaa Sisera ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Owura, bra me ntomadan yi mu. Bra mu. Nsuro.” Enti, ɔkɔɔ ntomadan no mu maa ɔde nnasoɔ kataa ne so.
19 Wasesithi kuye: Akunginathise amanzi amalutshwana ngoba ngomile. Wasesibukula igula lochago, wamnathisa, wamembesa.
Sisera ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, sukɔm de me enti ma me nsuo.” Enti ɔmaa no nufosuo sɛ ɔnnom, na ɔsane kataa ne so.
20 Wasesithi kuye: Mana emnyango wethente; kuzakuthi-ke, uba kufika umuntu kuwe ekubuza esithi: Kulomuntu lapha yini? Uzakuthi: Kakulamuntu.
Sisera ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Gyina ntomadan no ano na sɛ obi bɛbisa wo sɛ obi wɔ ha a, ka sɛ dabi.”
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.
Nanso, ɔbrɛ enti, Sisera faa mu daeɛ. Yael, a ɔyɛ Heber yere, yɛɛ brɛoo kɔɔ ne so. Ɔde hamre ne pɛɛwa na ɛkɔeɛ. Ɔde pɛɛwa no sii ne moma so de hama no bɔɔ so, kɔsii sɛ ɛhwiree ne moma mu sii fam ma ɔwuiɛ.
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.
Ɛberɛ a Barak baa sɛ ɔrebɛhwehwɛ Sisera no, Yael pue bɛhyiaa no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Bra na menkyerɛ wo ɔbarima a worehwehwɛ noɔ no.” Enti, ɔdii nʼakyi kɔɔ ntomadan no mu kɔhunuu Sisera sɛ wawu da hɔ a pɛɛwa si ne moma so.
23 Ngakho ngalolosuku uNkulunkulu wamehlisela phansi uJabini inkosi yeKhanani phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Ɛda no na Israel hunuu sɛ Onyankopɔn adi Kanaanhene Yabin so nkonim.
24 Isandla sabantwana bakoIsrayeli saqhubeka-ke saba nzima phezu kukaJabini inkosi yeKhanani, baze bamchitha uJabini inkosi yeKhanani.
Na ɛno akyi no, Israel nyaa ahoɔden tiaa ɔhene Yabin ara kɔsii sɛ akyire yi, wɔsɛee no.
