Abbootii Murtii 4
1 Erga Eehuud duʼee booddee Israaʼeloonni ammas fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjetan.
After Ehud died, the Israelites once again did what was evil in the Lord's sight.
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.
So the Lord sold them to Jabin, king of Canaan, who ruled from Hazor. His army commander was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim.
3 Inni sababii gaariiwwan sibiilaa dhibba sagal qabuuf waggaa digdama akka malee Israaʼeloota hacuuce; isaanis gargaarsa barbaacha Waaqayyotti iyyatan.
The Israelites cried out to the Lord to help them, for Sisera had nine hundred iron chariots and he cruelly mistreated them for twenty years.
4 Yeroo sanatti niitiin Lafiidoot Debooraan raajittiin Israaʼelin bulchaa turte.
Deborah, wife of Lappidoth, was a prophet, and she was leading Israel as a judge at 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.
She would sit under Deborah's Palm between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites would go to her for her decisions.
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.
She sent for Barak, son of Abinoam, from the town of Kedesh in Naphtali and told him, “The Lord, the God of Israel, orders you: ‘Go to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun, and lead them there.
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.’”
I will bring Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River, and hand him over to you.”
8 Baaraaqis, “Yoo ati na wajjin deemte, ani nan deema; yoo ati na wajjin hin deemin garuu anis hin deemu” jedheen.
Barak replied, “If you come with me, I'll go; but if you don't come with me, I won't 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;
“I'll definitely go with you,” Deborah answered, “but if you're going to take that route then you won't receive any respect, because the Lord will give Sisera into the hands of a woman.” Deborah got up and went 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.
Barak called up the armies of Zebulun and Naphtali, and ten thousand men assembled under his command. Deborah was also there with him.
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.
(Heber the Kenite had separated from the other Kenites, the descendants of Hobab, the father-in-law of Moses, and had set up his tent at the large tree in Zaanannim, which is near Kedesh.)
12 Siisaaraan yommuu akka Baaraaqi ilmi Abiinooʼam sun gara Tulluu Taabooritti ol baʼee dhagaʼetti,
Sisera heard that Barak, son of Abinoam, had gone to Mount Tabor,
13 gaariiwwan sibiilaa dhibba sagalii fi loltoota isaa kanneen Harooshet Hagooyimii hamma Laga Qiishoonitti argaman hundumaa walitti qabate.
so he summoned all his nine hundred iron chariots and all his men to come from Harosheth-hagoyim to the Kishon River.
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.
Then Deborah told Barak, “Get going! Today the Lord has handed Sisera to you. Didn't the Lord march out ahead of you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, accompanied by ten thousand men.
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.
When Barak attacked, the Lord threw Sisera and all his chariots and warriors into a confused panic. Sisera jumped down from his chariot and ran away.
16 Baaraaqi garuu gaariiwwanii fi loltoota Siisaaraa hamma Harooshet Hagooyimiitti ariʼe; loltoonni Siisaaraa hundinuu goraadeedhaan dhuman. Namni tokko iyyuu hin hafne.
Barak chased after the chariots and troops all the way to Harosheth-hagoyim. The whole of Sisera's army was killed—not a single man survived.
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.
In the meantime Sisera had run away to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there was a peace treaty between Jabin, king of Hazor, and the family 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.
Jael went to meet Sisera and told him, “Come on in, my lord, come in with me. Don't be afraid.” So he went into her tent, and she covered him with a thick blanket.
19 Innis, “Ani dheebodheera; maaloo bishaan naa kenni” jedheen. Isheenis qabee aannanii bantee waan inni dhugu kenniteefii isa dhoksite.
“Please give me a bit of water to drink, because I'm thirsty,” Sisera asked her. So she opened a skin of milk, let him have a drink, and then covered him up again.
20 Innis, “Balbala dunkaanaa dura dhaabadhu; yoo eenyu iyyuu dhufee, ‘Namni as jiraa?’ siin jedhe, ‘hin jiru’ jedhi” isheen jedhe.
“Stand guard at the tent door,” he told her. “If anybody comes and asks you, ‘Is there is anyone here?’ just say no.”
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.
But Jael, Heber's wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and crept quietly over to him where he lay fast sleep and exhausted. She drove the tent peg through his temple and into the ground, and he 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.
So when Barak came past, hunting for Sisera, Jael went out to meet him, and said, “Come here, and I'll show you the man you're looking for.” He went in with her, and there lay Sisera, dead, with the tent peg through his temple.
23 Waaqnis gaafa sana akka Yaabiin mootiin Kanaʼaanotaa fuula Israaʼelootaa duratti moʼatamu godhe.
That day God defeated Jabin, king of Canaan, in the presence of the Israelites.
24 Harki Israaʼelootaas hamma isaan Yaabiin mooticha Kanaʼaanotaa galaafatanitti jajjabaachaa deeme.
From then on Israel grew ever more powerful until the destroyed Jabin, king of Hazor.
