< Waamuzi 4 >

1 Baada ya Ehudi kufa, Waisraeli wakafanya tena maovu machoni pa Bwana.
καὶ προσέθεντο οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ Αωδ ἀπέθανεν
2 Hivyo Bwana akawatia mikononi mwa Yabini, mfalme wa Kanaani, aliyetawala huko Hazori. Jemadari wa jeshi lake alikuwa Sisera, aliyeishi huko Haroshethi-Hagoyimu
καὶ ἀπέδοτο αὐτοὺς κύριος ἐν χειρὶ Ιαβιν βασιλέως Χανααν ὃς ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ασωρ καὶ ὁ ἄρχων τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ Σισαρα καὶ αὐτὸς κατῴκει ἐν Αρισωθ τῶν ἐθνῶν
3 Kwa kuwa Sisera alikuwa na magari ya chuma yapatayo 900, naye alikuwa amewatesa Waisraeli kwa ukatili kwa muda wa miaka ishirini, Waisraeli wakamlilia Bwana wakaomba msaada.
καὶ ἐκέκραξαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ πρὸς κύριον ὅτι ἐννακόσια ἅρματα σιδηρᾶ ἦν αὐτῷ καὶ αὐτὸς ἔθλιψεν τὸν Ισραηλ κατὰ κράτος εἴκοσι ἔτη
4 Debora, nabii mwanamke, mkewe Lapidothi, ndiye alikuwa anaamua Israeli wakati ule.
καὶ Δεββωρα γυνὴ προφῆτις γυνὴ Λαφιδωθ αὐτὴ ἔκρινεν τὸν Ισραηλ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ
5 Debora alikuwa akiketi chini ya Mtende wa Debora uliokuwa kati ya Rama na Betheli katika nchi ya vilima ya Efraimu, nao Waisraeli wakaja kwake ili awaamue.
καὶ αὐτὴ ἐκάθητο ὑπὸ φοίνικα Δεββωρα ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς Ραμα καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς Βαιθηλ ἐν τῷ ὄρει Εφραιμ καὶ ἀνέβαινον πρὸς αὐτὴν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ εἰς κρίσιν
6 Akatuma wamwite Baraka mwana wa Abinoamu kutoka Kedeshi huko Naftali na kumwambia, “Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, anakuagiza: ‘Nenda, chukua wanaume 10,000 toka Naftali na Zabuloni, mwende Mlima Tabori.
καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Δεββωρα καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸν Βαρακ υἱὸν Αβινεεμ ἐκ Καδης Νεφθαλι καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν οὐχὶ ἐνετείλατο κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ σοὶ καὶ ἀπελεύσῃ εἰς ὄρος Θαβωρ καὶ λήμψῃ μετὰ σεαυτοῦ δέκα χιλιάδας ἀνδρῶν ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Νεφθαλι καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Ζαβουλων
7 Nitamshawishi Sisera, jemadari wa jeshi la Yabini, pamoja na magari yake na jeshi lake, hadi Mto Kishoni na kumtia mikononi mwako.’”
καὶ ἐπάξω πρὸς σὲ εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν Κισων τὸν Σισαρα ἄρχοντα τῆς δυνάμεως Ιαβιν καὶ τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ πλῆθος αὐτοῦ καὶ παραδώσω αὐτὸν εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου
8 Baraka akamwambia, “Ukienda pamoja nami nitakwenda, lakini usipokwenda pamoja nami, sitakwenda.”
καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὴν Βαρακ ἐὰν πορευθῇς μετ’ ἐμοῦ πορεύσομαι καὶ ἐὰν μὴ πορευθῇς οὐ πορεύσομαι ὅτι οὐκ οἶδα τὴν ἡμέραν ἐν ᾗ εὐοδοῖ τὸν ἄγγελον κύριος μετ’ ἐμοῦ
9 Debora akamwambia, “Hakika nitakwenda pamoja nawe, lakini njia unayoiendea haitakupa heshima wewe, kwa kuwa Bwana atamtia Sisera mikononi mwa mwanamke.” Hivyo Debora akaenda pamoja na Baraka mpaka Kedeshi,
καὶ εἶπεν πορευομένη πορεύσομαι μετὰ σοῦ πλὴν γίνωσκε ὅτι οὐκ ἔσται τὸ προτέρημά σου ἐπὶ τὴν ὁδόν ἣν σὺ πορεύῃ ὅτι ἐν χειρὶ γυναικὸς ἀποδώσεται κύριος τὸν Σισαρα καὶ ἀνέστη Δεββωρα καὶ ἐπορεύθη μετὰ Βαρακ ἐκ Καδης
10 mahali ambapo Baraka aliwaita Zabuloni na Naftali. Watu 10,000 wakamfuata Baraka, na Debora pia akaenda pamoja naye.
καὶ ἐβόησεν Βαρακ τὸν Ζαβουλων καὶ τὸν Νεφθαλι ἐκ Καδης καὶ ἀνέβησαν κατὰ πόδας αὐτοῦ δέκα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν καὶ ἀνέβη μετ’ αὐτοῦ Δεββωρα
11 Basi Heberi, Mkeni, alikuwa amejitenga na Wakeni wengine, yaani, wazao wa Hobabu, mkwewe Mose, naye akapiga hema lake karibu na ule mti mkubwa wa mwaloni ulioko Saananimu, karibu na Kedeshi.
καὶ Χαβερ ὁ Κιναῖος ἐχωρίσθη ἀπὸ Καινα ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ιωβαβ γαμβροῦ Μωυσῆ καὶ ἔπηξεν τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ ἕως δρυὸς πλεονεκτούντων ἥ ἐστιν ἐχόμενα Κεδες
12 Sisera alipoambiwa kuwa Baraka mwana wa Abinoamu alikuwa amepanda Mlima Tabori,
καὶ ἀνηγγέλη Σισαρα ὅτι ἀνέβη Βαρακ υἱὸς Αβινεεμ εἰς ὄρος Θαβωρ
13 Sisera akakusanya pamoja magari yake yote 600 ya chuma na watu wote waliokuwa pamoja naye, kuanzia Haroshethi-Hagoyimu mpaka Mto wa Kishoni.
καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Σισαρα πάντα τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ ἐννακόσια ἅρματα σιδηρᾶ καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Αρισωθ τῶν ἐθνῶν εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν Κισων
14 Ndipo Debora akamwambia Baraka, “Nenda! Hii ndiyo siku ambayo Bwana amemtia Sisera mikononi mwako. Je, Bwana hakukutangulia mbele yako?” Hivyo Baraka akashuka kutoka Mlima Tabori, akifuatwa na watu 10,000.
καὶ εἶπεν Δεββωρα πρὸς Βαρακ ἀνάστηθι ὅτι αὕτη ἡ ἡμέρα ἐν ᾗ παρέδωκεν κύριος τὸν Σισαρα ἐν τῇ χειρί σου ὅτι κύριος ἐξελεύσεται ἔμπροσθέν σου καὶ κατέβη Βαρακ ἀπὸ τοῦ ὄρους Θαβωρ καὶ δέκα χιλιάδες ἀνδρῶν ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ
15 Bwana akamfadhaisha Sisera na magari yake yote, pamoja na jeshi lake lote kwa upanga mbele ya Baraka, naye Sisera akaliacha gari lake na kukimbia kwa miguu.
καὶ ἐξέστησεν κύριος τὸν Σισαρα καὶ πάντα τὰ ἅρματα αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν παρεμβολὴν αὐτοῦ ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας ἐνώπιον Βαρακ καὶ κατέβη Σισαρα ἐπάνωθεν τοῦ ἅρματος αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔφυγεν τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτοῦ
16 Lakini Baraka akafuata magari pamoja na jeshi mpaka Haroshethi-Hagoyimu. Jeshi lote la Sisera likaanguka kwa upanga, wala hakuna hata mtu mmoja aliyesalia.
καὶ Βαρακ διώκων ὀπίσω τῶν ἁρμάτων καὶ ὀπίσω τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἕως Αρισωθ τῶν ἐθνῶν καὶ ἔπεσεν πᾶσα παρεμβολὴ Σισαρα ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας οὐ κατελείφθη ἕως ἑνός
17 Sisera, hata hivyo, akakimbia kwa miguu mpaka kwenye hema la Yaeli, mkewe Heberi, Mkeni, kwa sababu palikuwa na uhusiano wa kirafiki kati ya Yabini mfalme wa Hazori na ukoo wa Heberi, Mkeni.
καὶ Σισαρα ἔφυγεν τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτοῦ εἰς σκηνὴν Ιαηλ γυναικὸς Χαβερ ἑταίρου τοῦ Κιναίου ὅτι εἰρήνη ἦν ἀνὰ μέσον Ιαβιν βασιλέως Ασωρ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον οἴκου Χαβερ τοῦ Κιναίου
18 Yaeli akaenda kumlaki Sisera na kumwambia, “Karibu, bwana wangu, karibu ingia ndani kabisa. Usiogope.” Basi Sisera akaingia ndani ya hema ya Yaeli, naye akamfunika kwa blanketi nene.
καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ιαηλ εἰς συνάντησιν Σισαρα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ἔκκλινον κύριέ μου ἔκκλινον πρός με μὴ φοβοῦ καὶ ἐξέκλινεν πρὸς αὐτὴν εἰς τὴν σκηνήν καὶ περιέβαλεν αὐτὸν ἐπιβολαίῳ
19 Akamwambia, “Nina kiu, tafadhali nipe maji ya kunywa.” Ndipo akafungua kiriba cha maziwa na kumpa akanywa, kisha akamfunika.
καὶ εἶπεν Σισαρα πρὸς αὐτήν πότισόν με δὴ μικρὸν ὕδωρ ὅτι ἐδίψησα καὶ ἤνοιξεν τὸν ἀσκὸν τοῦ γάλακτος καὶ ἐπότισεν αὐτὸν καὶ περιέβαλεν αὐτόν
20 Naye Sisera akamwambia, “Simama mlangoni pa hema na mtu yeyote akija na kukuuliza, ‘Je, kuna mtu yeyote hapa?’ sema, ‘Hapana.’”
καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὴν Σισαρα στῆθι δὴ ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ἀνὴρ ἔλθῃ πρὸς σὲ καὶ ἐρωτήσῃ σε καὶ εἴπῃ εἰ ἔστιν ὧδε ἀνήρ καὶ ἐρεῖς οὐκ ἔστιν
21 Ndipo Yaeli, mkewe Heberi, akatwaa kigingi cha hema, akachukua nyundo mkononi mwake, akamwendea polepole, akiwa amelala usingizi, akiwa amechoka. Akakigongomea kile kigingi kwenye paji la uso wake, kikapenya hata kuingia ardhini, naye akafa.
καὶ ἔλαβεν Ιαηλ γυνὴ Χαβερ τὸν πάσσαλον τῆς σκηνῆς καὶ ἔθηκεν τὴν σφῦραν ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτῆς καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν κρυφῇ καὶ ἔπηξεν τὸν πάσσαλον ἐν τῷ κροτάφῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ διεξῆλθεν ἐν τῇ γῇ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐξεστὼς ἐσκοτώθη καὶ ἀπέθανεν
22 Baraka akakaribia akimfuatia Sisera, Yaeli akatoka kumlaki. Akamwambia, “Njoo, nitakuonyesha mtu unayemtafuta.” Hivyo wakaingia ndani ya hema wakiwa wamefuatana na tazama Sisera alikuwa amelala humo, akiwa amekufa, na hicho kigingi cha hema kikiwa kimegongomewa kupitia paji la uso wake.
καὶ ἰδοὺ Βαρακ διώκων τὸν Σισαρα καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ιαηλ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ δεῦρο καὶ δείξω σοι τὸν ἄνδρα ὃν σὺ ζητεῖς καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτήν καὶ ἰδοὺ Σισαρα ῥεριμμένος νεκρός καὶ ὁ πάσσαλος ἐν τῷ κροτάφῳ αὐτοῦ
23 Basi siku ile Mungu akamshinda Yabini, mfalme wa Kanaani, mbele ya Israeli.
καὶ ἐτρόπωσεν ὁ θεὸς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τὸν Ιαβιν βασιλέα Χανααν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ
24 Nao mkono wa Waisraeli ukaendelea kuwa na nguvu zaidi na zaidi dhidi ya Yabini, mfalme wa Kanaani, mpaka wakamwangamiza.
καὶ ἐπορεύετο χεὶρ τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ πορευομένη καὶ σκληρυνομένη ἐπὶ Ιαβιν βασιλέα Χανααν ἕως οὗ ἐξωλέθρευσαν τὸν Ιαβιν βασιλέα Χανααν
