Vatongi 4
1 Shure kwokufa kwaEhudhi, vaIsraeri vakaitazve zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha.
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of YHWH, when Ehud was dead.
2 Saka Jehovha akavatengesa mumaoko aJabhini, mambo weKenani, aitonga ari muHazori. Mukuru wehondo yake akanga ari Sisera, uyo aigara muHarosheti Hagoyimi.
And YHWH sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
3 Nokuda kwokuti akanga ane ngoro dzesimbi mazana mapfumbamwe uye akadzvinyirira vaIsraeri zvakaipisisa kwazvo kwamakore makumi maviri, vakachemera rubatsiro kuna Jehovha.
And the children of Israel cried unto YHWH: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
4 Dhibhora, muprofitakadzi, mukadzi waRapidhoti, akanga achitungamirira vaIsraeri panguva iyoyo.
And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
5 Aitonga mhaka ari pasi poMuchindwe waDhibhora pakati peRama neBheteri munyika yezvikomo yaEfuremu, uye vaIsraeri vaiuya kwaari kuzotongerwa mhosva dzavo.
And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
6 Akatuma shoko kuna Bharaki mwanakomana waAbhinoami aibva kuKadheshi muNafutari akati kwaari, “Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri anokurayira kuti, ‘Enda undotora zviuru gumi zvavarume veNafutari neveZebhuruni ugovatungamirira kuGomo reTabhori.
And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not YHWH Elohim of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
7 Ndichakwezva Sisera, mukuru wehondo yaJabhini, nengoro dzake uye namauto ake kuRwizi rweKishoni ndigomuisa mumaoko ako.’”
And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.
8 Bharaki akati kwaari, “Kana imi mukaenda neni, ini ndichaenda; asi kana musingaendi neni, neni handingaendi.”
And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
9 Dhibhora akati, “Zvakanaka hazvo, ndichaenda newe. Asi nokuda kwenzira yauri kuda kuita nayo izvi, kukudzwa hakungavi kwako, nokuti Jehovha achaisa Sisera muruoko rwomukadzi.” Saka Dhibhora akaenda naBharaki kuKadheshi,
And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for YHWH shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 uko kwaakandodana Zebhuruni naNafutari. Varume zviuru gumi vakamutevera, naDhibhorawo akaenda navo.
And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
11 Zvino Hebheri muKeni akanga asiya vamwe vaKeni, zvizvarwa zvaHobhabhi, hanzvadzi yomukadzi waMozisi akandodzika tende rake pamuti mukuru muZaananimi pedyo neKadheshi.
Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
12 Vakati vaudza Sisera kuti Bharaki mwanakomana waAbhinoami akanga akwidza kuGomo reTabhori,
And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
13 Sisera akaunganidza pamwe chete ngoro dzesimbi mazana mapfumbamwe navarume vose vaaiva navo, kubva kuHarosheti Hagoyimi kusvikira kuRwizi rweKishoni.
And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.
14 Ipapo Dhibhora akati kuna Bharaki, “Enda! Iri ndiro zuva rapiwa Sisera mumaoko ako naJehovha. Ko, Jehovha haasi mberi kwako here?” Saka Bharaki akaburuka muGomo reTabhori, achiteverwa navarume zviuru gumi.
And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which YHWH hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not YHWH gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 Pakungofamba kwaBharaki, Jehovha akakunda nomunondo Sisera nengoro dzake dzose nehondo yake, uye Sisera akasiya ngoro yake akatiza netsoka.
And YHWH discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
16 Asi Bharati akatevera ngoro nehondo yaSisera akandosvika kuHarosheti Hagoyimi. Mauto ose aSisera akaurayiwa nomunondo; hapana munhu akasara.
But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
17 Kunyange zvakadaro hazvo, Sisera akatiza netsoka akaenda kutende raJaeri, mukadzi waHebheri muKeni, nokuti pakati paJabhini mambo weHazori nemhuri yaHebheri pakanga pane kunzwanana.
Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to 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 Jaeri akabuda kuti andosangana naSisera akati kwaari, “Uyai ishe wangu, pindai zvenyu mukati chaimo. Musatya.” Saka akapinda mutende rake, uye akaisa chifukidzo pamusoro pake.
And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my master, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
19 Akati, “Ndine nyota. Ndapota, ndipeiwo mvura.” Akadziura guchu romukaka, akamupa kuti anwe, ndokubva amufukidza hake.
And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
20 Akatizve kwaari, “Mira pamukova wetende. Kana mumwe munhu akauya pano akakubvunza achiti, ‘Pano munhu here pano?’ uti, ‘Kwete.’”
Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
21 Asi Jaeri, mukadzi waHebheri, akatora mbambo yetende nenyundo akaenda paari chinyararire, iye akafa nehope, aneta. Akaroverera mbambo napachavovo, ikanyura muvhu, akafa.
Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
22 Bharaki akasvika achitevera Sisera, uye Jaeri akabuda kundomuchingamidza, achiti, “Uyai, ndizokuratidzai munhu wamuri kutsvaka.” Saka akapinda naye mukati, onei hoyo Sisera avete uye mbambo yetende iri muchavovo chake, afa.
And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
23 Pazuva iro, Mwari akakunda Jabhini, mambo wavaKenani, pamberi pavaIsraeri.
So Elohim subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
24 Uye ruoko rwavaIsraeri rwakaramba ruchiwedzera simba pakurwisa Jabhini, mambo wavaKenani kusvikira vamuparadza.
And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
