Mga Hukom 4
1 At ginawa uli ng mga anak ni Israel ang masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, nang mamatay si Aod.
But after the death of Ehud, the sons of Israel resumed doing evil in the sight of the Lord.
2 At ipinagbili sila ng Panginoon sa kamay ni Jabin na hari sa Canaan, na naghahari sa Asor; na ang puno sa hukbong yaon ay si Sisara, na siyang tumatahan sa Haroseth ng mga bansa.
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 At dumaing ang mga anak ni Israel sa Panginoon: sapagka't siya'y may siyam na raan na karong bakal; at dalawang pung taong pinighati niyang mainam ang mga anak ni Israel.
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 Si Debora nga, na propetisa, asawa ni Lapidoth, ay naghukom sa Israel nang panahong yaon.
Now there was a prophetess, Deborah, the wife of Lappidoth, who judged the people in that time.
5 At siya'y tumahan sa ilalim ng puno ng palma ni Debora, sa pagitan ng Rama at Beth-el, sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim; at sinampa siya ng mga anak ni Israel upang pahatol.
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 At kaniyang ipinatawag si Barac, na anak ni Abinoam mula sa Cedes-nephtali, at sinabi sa kaniya, Hindi ba ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng Israel, ay nagutos na sinasabi, Yumaon ka, at pumaroon ka sa bundok ng Tabor, at magsama ka ng sangpung libong lalake sa mga anak ni Nephtali at sa mga anak ni Zabulon?
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 At aking isusulong sa iyo sa ilog Cison, si Sisara, na puno sa hukbo ni Jabin, pati ng kaniyang mga karo at ng kaniyang karamihan; at aking ibibigay siya sa iyong kamay.
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 At sinabi ni Barac sa kaniya, Kung ikaw ay sasama sa akin ay paroroon nga ako: nguni't kung hindi ka sasama sa akin, ay hindi ako paroroon.
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 At kaniyang sinabi, Walang pagsalang sasama ako sa iyo: gayon ma'y ang lakad na iyong ipagpapatuloy ay hindi magiging sa iyong kapurihan; sapagka't ipagbibili ng Panginoon si Sisara sa kamay ng isang babae. At si Debora ay tumindig at sumama kay Barac sa Cedes.
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 At tinawag ni Barac ang Zabulon at ang Nephtali na magkasama sa Cedes; at doo'y umahon ang sangpung libong lalake na kasunod niya: at si Debora ay umahong kasama niya.
And he, summoning Zebulun and Naphtali, ascended with ten thousand fighting men, having Deborah in his company.
11 Si Heber nga na Cineo ay humiwalay sa mga Cineo, sa makatuwid baga'y sa mga anak ni Hobab, na biyanan ni Moises, at itinayo ang kaniyang tolda hanggang sa encina sa Zaananim, na nasa siping ng Cedes.
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 At kanilang isinaysay kay Sisara na si Barac na anak ni Abinoam ay umahon sa bundok ng Tabor.
And it was reported to Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, had ascended to Mount Tabor.
13 At pinapagpisang magkakasama ni Sisara ang lahat niyang mga karo, na siyam na raang karong bakal, at ang buong bayan na kasama niya, mula sa Haroseth ng mga bansa hanggang sa ilog Cison.
And he gathered together the nine hundred chariots with scythes, and the entire army, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to the torrent Kishon.
14 At sinabi ni Debora kay Barac, Tumindig ka; sapagka't ito ang araw na ibinigay ng Panginoon si Sisara sa iyong kamay: hindi ba lumabas ang Panginoon sa harap mo? Sa gayo'y lumusong si Barac mula sa bundok ng Tabor, at sangpung libong lalake ang kasunod niya.
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 At nilansag ng Panginoon si Sisara, at lahat ng mga karo niya, at ang buong hukbo niya, ng talim ng tabak sa harap ni Barac; at lumunsad si Sisara sa kaniyang karo, at tumakas na tumakbo.
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 Nguni't hinabol ni Barac ang mga karo, at ang hukbo, hanggang sa Haroseth ng mga bansa: at ang buong hukbo ni Sisara ay nahulog sa talim ng tabak; walang lalaking nalabi.
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 Gayon ma'y tumakas si Sisara na tumakbo sa tolda ni Jael na asawa ni Heber na Cineo; sapagka't may kapayapaan si Jabin na hari sa Asor at ang sangbahayan ni Heber na Cineo.
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 At sinalubong ni Jael si Sisara, at sinabi sa kaniya, Lumiko ka, panginoon ko, lumiko ka rito sa akin: huwag kang matakot. At siya'y lumiko sa kaniya sa loob ng tolda, at siya'y tinalukbungan niya ng isang banig.
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 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na bigyan mo ako ng kaunting tubig na mainom; sapagka't ako'y nauuhaw. At binuksan niya ang isang balat na sisidlan ng gatas, at pinainom niya siya, at tinakpan siya.
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 At sinabi ni Sisara sa kaniya, Tumayo ka sa pintuan ng tolda, at mangyayari, na pagka ang sinoman ay darating at magtatanong sa iyo, at magsasabi, May tao ba riyan? na iyong sasabihin, Wala.
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 Nang magkagayo'y kumuha si Jael na asawa ni Heber ng isang tulos ng tolda, at kumuha ng isang pamukpok sa kaniyang kamay at naparoong dahandahan sa kaniya, at itinusok ang tulos sa kaniyang pilipisan, at pinalagpasan siya hanggang sa lupa; sapagka't siya'y nakatulog ng mahimbing; sa gayo'y nanglupaypay siya at namatay.
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 At, narito, sa paraang hinahabol ni Barac si Sisara, ay lumabas si Jael na sinalubong siya, at sinabi sa kaniya: Parito ka, at ituturo ko sa iyo ang lalake na iyong hinahanap. At siya'y naparoon sa kaniya, at, narito, si Sisara ay nakabulagtang patay, at ang tulos ay nasa kaniyang ulo.
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 Gayon pinasuko ng Dios nang araw na yaon si Jabin na hari sa Canaan sa harap ng mga anak ni Israel.
Thus did God humble Jabin, the king of Canaan, on that day, before the sons of Israel.
24 At nanaig ang kamay ng mga anak ni Israel ng higit at higit laban kay Jabin na hari sa Canaan, hanggang sa naigiba nila si Jabin na hari sa Canaan.
And they increased every day. And with a strong hand they overpowered Jabin, the king of Canaan, until they wiped him out.
