Abbootii Murtii 4
1 Erga Eehuud duʼee booddee Israaʼeloonni ammas fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjetan.
But after the death of Ehud, the sons of Israel resumed doing evil in the sight of the Lord.
2 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Yaabiin mootii Kanaʼaan kan Haazoor taaʼee bulchaa turetti dabarsee isaan gurgure. Ajajaan loltoota isaa Siisaaraa jedhama ture; innis Harooshet Hagooyim keessa jiraata ture.
And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Jabin, the king of Canaan, who reigned at Hazor. And he had a commander of his army named Sisera, but this man lived at Harosheth of the Gentiles.
3 Inni sababii gaariiwwan sibiilaa dhibba sagal qabuuf waggaa digdama akka malee Israaʼeloota hacuuce; isaanis gargaarsa barbaacha Waaqayyotti iyyatan.
And the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord. For he had nine hundred chariots with scythes, and he vehemently oppressed them for twenty years.
4 Yeroo sanatti niitiin Lafiidoot Debooraan raajittiin Israaʼelin bulchaa turte.
Now there was a prophetess, Deborah, the wife of Lappidoth, who judged the people in that time.
5 Isheenis biyya gaaraa Efreemitti Muka Meexxii Debooraa kan Raamaa fi Beetʼeel gidduutti argamu sana jala teessee murtii kennaa turte. Sabni Israaʼelis murtii argachuuf gara ishee dhufaa ture.
And she was sitting under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Ramah and Bethel, on Mount Ephraim. And the sons of Israel went up to her for every judgment.
6 Isheenis Baaraaqi ilma Abiinooʼam biyya Niftaalem magaalaa Qaadeshiitii waamsifatee akkana jetteen; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedhee si ajaja; ‘Kaʼi; gosa Niftaalemii fi gosa Zebuuloon keessaa nama kuma kudhan fudhadhuutii Tulluu Taabooriitti ol baʼi.
And she sent and called Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh of Naphtali. And she said to him: “The Lord, the God of Israel, instructs you: ‘Go and lead an army to Mount Tabor, and you shall take with you ten thousand fighting men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons of Zebulun.
7 Anis Siisaaraa, ajajaa loltoota Yaabiin sana gaariiwwan lolaatii fi loltoota isaa wajjin akka inni gara Laga Qiishoonitti baʼu nan kakaasa; isas harka keetti dabarsee nan kenna.’”
Then I will lead to you, at the place of the torrent Kishon, Sisera, the leader of the army of Jabin, with his chariots and the entire multitude. And I will deliver them into your hand.’”
8 Baaraaqis, “Yoo ati na wajjin deemte, ani nan deema; yoo ati na wajjin hin deemin garuu anis hin deemu” jedheen.
And Barak said to her: “If you will come with me, I will go. If you are not willing to come with me, I will not go.”
9 Debooraanis, “Ani dhugumaan si faana nan deema. Yoo ati haala kanaan deemte garuu ulfinni siʼiif hin taʼu; Waaqayyo dabarsee Siisaaraa harka dubartiitti kennaatii” jetteen. Kanaafuu Debooraan Baaraaqi faana gara Qaadesh deemte;
She said to him: “Indeed, I will go with you. But due to this change, the victory shall not be reputed to you. And so Sisera will be delivered into the hand of a woman.” Therefore, Deborah rose up, and she traveled with Barak to Kedesh.
10 Baaraaqis achitti namoota gosa Zebuuloonii fi gosa Niftaalem walitti waame. Namoonni kuma kudhan isa duukaa buʼan; Debooraanis isa faana deemte.
And he, summoning Zebulun and Naphtali, ascended with ten thousand fighting men, having Deborah in his company.
11 Yeroo sanatti Hebeer namichi gosa Qeen abbaan niitii Musee sun Qeenota ilmaan Hoobaab kaan irraa citee Qaadesh biratti lafa Zaʼaanaaniim jedhamutti qilxuu guddaa jala dunkaana isaa dhaabbatee ture.
Now Heber, the Kenite, had previously withdrawn from the rest of the Kenites, his brothers, the sons of Hobab, the relative of Moses. And he had pitched his tents as far as the valley that is called Zaanannim, which was near Kedesh.
12 Siisaaraan yommuu akka Baaraaqi ilmi Abiinooʼam sun gara Tulluu Taabooritti ol baʼee dhagaʼetti,
And it was reported to Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, had ascended to Mount Tabor.
13 gaariiwwan sibiilaa dhibba sagalii fi loltoota isaa kanneen Harooshet Hagooyimii hamma Laga Qiishoonitti argaman hundumaa walitti qabate.
And he gathered together the nine hundred chariots with scythes, and the entire army, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to the torrent Kishon.
14 Kana irratti Debooraan Baaraaqiin, “Kaʼi! Guyyaan Waaqayyo Siisaaraa dabarsee harka keetti kenne harʼa. Kunoo Waaqayyo si dura baʼeera” jette. Kanaafuu Baaraaqi namoota kuma kudhan fudhatee Tulluu Taaboor irraa gad buʼe.
And Deborah said to Barak: “Rise up. For this is the day on which the Lord delivers Sisera into your hands. For he is your commander.” And so, Barak descended from Mount Tabor, and the ten thousand fighting men with him.
15 Waaqayyos akka Siisaaraan, gaariiwwan isaatii fi loltoonni isaa hundinuu goraadeedhaan fuula Baaraaqi duratti moʼatamanii duubatti deebiʼan godhe; Siisaaraan gaarii isaa irraa buʼee miillaan baqate.
And the Lord struck Sisera with great fear, and all his chariots and all his multitude with the edge of the sword, in the sight of Barak, so much so that Sisera, leaping from his chariot, fled on foot.
16 Baaraaqi garuu gaariiwwanii fi loltoota Siisaaraa hamma Harooshet Hagooyimiitti ariʼe; loltoonni Siisaaraa hundinuu goraadeedhaan dhuman. Namni tokko iyyuu hin hafne.
And Barak pursued the fleeing chariots, and the army, as far as Harosheth of the Gentiles. And the entire multitude of the enemy was cut down, unto utter annihilation.
17 Siisaaraan garuu sababii Yaabiin mooticha Haazoorii fi Hebeer namicha balbala Qeen sana gidduu hariiroon gaariin tureef gara dunkaana Yaaʼeel niitii Hebeer sanaatti miillaan baqate.
But Sisera, while fleeing, arrived at the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber, the Kenite. For there was peace between Jabin, the king of Hazor, and the house of Heber, the Kenite.
18 Yaaʼeelis Siisaaraa simachuuf gad baatee, “Kottu yaa gooftaa koo; kottu ol seeni; hin sodaatin” isaan jette. Innis dunkaana ishee seene; isheenis wayyaa isa irra buuftee dhoksite.
Therefore, Jael went out to meet Sisera, and she said to him: “Enter to me, my lord. Enter, you should not be afraid.” And he entered her tent, and having been covered by her with a cloak,
19 Innis, “Ani dheebodheera; maaloo bishaan naa kenni” jedheen. Isheenis qabee aannanii bantee waan inni dhugu kenniteefii isa dhoksite.
he said to her: “Give me, I beg you, a little water. For I am very thirsty.” And she opened a bottle of milk, and she gave him to drink. And she covered him.
20 Innis, “Balbala dunkaanaa dura dhaabadhu; yoo eenyu iyyuu dhufee, ‘Namni as jiraa?’ siin jedhe, ‘hin jiru’ jedhi” isheen jedhe.
And Sisera said to her: “Stand before the door of the tent. And if anyone arrives, questioning you and saying, ‘Could there be any man here?’ you shall respond, ‘There is no one.’”
21 Yaaʼeel niitiin Hebeer garuu utuu Siisaaraan hirriba cimaa keessa jiruu qofoo dunkaanaa fi burruusa fudhattee suuta jettee bira geesse. Qofoo sanaanis isa waraantee lafatti hodhite; innis ni duʼe.
And so Jael, the wife of Heber, took a spike from the tent, and also took a mallet. And entering unseen and with silence, she placed the spike over the temple of his head. And striking it with the mallet, she drove it through his brain, as far as the ground. And so, joining deep sleep to death, he fell unconscious and died.
22 Yommuu Baaraaqi Siisaaraa duukaa buʼee dhufettis, Yaaʼeel isa simachuudhaaf gad baatee, “Kottu nama ati barbaaddu sittan argisiisaa” jetteen. Kanaafuu inni ishee wajjin gara dunkaanichaatti ol seenee Siisaaraa akkuma illeen isaa qofoodhaan waraanametti reeffa isaa arge.
And behold, Barak arrived, in pursuit of Sisera. And Jael, going out to meet him, said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.” And when he had entered her tent, he saw Sisera lying dead, with the spike fixed in his temples.
23 Waaqnis gaafa sana akka Yaabiin mootiin Kanaʼaanotaa fuula Israaʼelootaa duratti moʼatamu godhe.
Thus did God humble Jabin, the king of Canaan, on that day, before the sons of Israel.
24 Harki Israaʼelootaas hamma isaan Yaabiin mooticha Kanaʼaanotaa galaafatanitti jajjabaachaa deeme.
And they increased every day. And with a strong hand they overpowered Jabin, the king of Canaan, until they wiped him out.
