1 Matapos mamatay ni Ehud, muling sinuway ng bayan ng Israel si Yahweh sa pamamagitan ng paggawa ng masasamang bagay, at nakita niya kung ano ang ginawa nila.
And the children of Israel continued to do evil against the Lord; and Aod was dead.
2 Ibinigay sila ni Yahweh sa kapangyarihan ni Jabin na hari ng Canaan na naghahari sa Hazor. Ang pinuno ng kaniyang hukbo ay nagngangalang Sisera, at naninirahan siya sa Haroshet ng mga Hentil.
And the Lord sold the children of Israel into the hand of Jabin king of Chanaan, who ruled in Asor; and the chief of his host was Sisara, and he dwelt in Arisoth of the Gentiles.
3 Tumawag ang bayan ng Israel kay Yahweh para sa tulong, dahil mayroong siyamnaraang bakal na karwaheng pandigma si Sisera at inapi niya ang bayan ng Israel sa loob ng dalawampung taon.
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord, because he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he mightily oppressed Israel twenty years.
4 Ngayon si Debora, isang babaeng propeta (asawa ni Lappidot), ay isang nangungunang hukom sa Israel nang panahong iyon.
And Debbora, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, —she judged Israel at that time.
5 Madalas siyang nakaupo sa ilalim ng palmera ni Debora sa pagitan ng Rama at Betel sa bulubundukin ng Efraim, at lumalapit sa kaniya ang mga tao ng Israel para lutasin ang kanilang mga alitan.
And she sat under the palm-tree of Debbora between Rama and Baethel in mount Ephraim; and the children of Israel went up to her for judgment.
6 Ipinatawag niya si Barak na anak ni Abinoam mula sa Kedes sa Neftali. Sinabi niya sa kaniya, “Inuutusan ka ni Yahweh, ang Diyos ng Israel, 'Pumunta ka sa Bundok Tabor, at magsama ng sampung libong kalalakihan mula sa Neftali at Zebulun.
And Debbora sent and called Barac the son of Abineem out of Cades Nephthali, and she said to him, Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded thee? and thou shalt depart to mount Thabor, and shalt take with thyself ten thousand men of the sons of Nephthali and of the sons of Zabulon.
7 Palalabasin ko si Sisera, na pinuno ng hukbo ni Jabin, para salubungin kayo sa ilog ng Kison, kasama ang kaniyang mga karwaheng pandigma at kaniyang hukbo, at bibigyan ko kayo ng tagumpay laban sa kaniya.'”
And I will bring to thee to the torrent of Kison Sisara the captain of the host of Jabin, and his chariots, and his multitude, and I will deliver them into thine hands.
8 Sinabi ni Barak sa kaniya, “Kung sasama ka sa akin, pupunta ako, pero kung hindi ka sasama sa akin, hindi ako pupunta.”
And Barac said to her, If thou wilt go with me, I will go; and if thou wilt not go, I will not go; for I know not the day on which the Lord prospers his messenger with me.
9 Sinabi niya, “Talagang sasama ako sa iyo. Gayunman, ang landas na dadaanan mo ay hindi maghahatid sa iyong karangalan, dahil gagawin ni Yahweh na talunin si Sisera ng isang babae sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang lakas.” Pagkatapos tumayo si Debora at sumama kay Barak sa Kedes.
And she said, I will surely go with thee; but know that thy honour shall not attend on the expedition on which thou goest, for the Lord shall sell Sisara into the hands of a women: and Debbora arose, and went with Barac out of Cades.
10 Tinawag ni Barak ang mga kalalakihan ng Neftali para magtipon sa Kedes. Sampung libong kalalakihan ang sumama sa kaniya, at sumama sa kanya si Debora.
And Barac called Zabulon and Nephthali out of Cades, and there went up at his feet ten thousand men, and Debbora went up with him.
11 Ngayon hiniwalay ni Heber (ang Kenita) ang kaniyang sarili mula sa mga Kenita—sila ay mga kaapu-apuhan ni Hobab (biyenan ni Moises) —at nagtayo ng kaniyang tolda sa may kakahuyan ng Zaananim malapit sa Kedes.
And Chaber the Kenite had removed from Caina, from the sons of Jobab the father-in-law of Moses, and pitched his tent by the oak of the covetous ones, which is near Kedes.
12 Nang sinabihan nila si Sisera na umakyat si Barak sa Bundok Tabor,
And it was told Sisara that Barac the son of Abineem was gone up to mount Thabor.
13 tinipon ni Sisera ang kaniyang mga karwaheng pandigma, siyamnaraang bakal na karwaheng pandigma, at lahat ng mga sundalong kasama niya, mula sa Haroset ng mga Hentil patungo sa Ilog Kison.
And Sisara summoned all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron and all the people with him, from Arisoth of the Gentiles to the brook of Kison.
14 Sinabi ni Debora kay Barak, “Humayo ka! Dahil ito ang araw na ibinigay sa iyo ni Yahweh ang tagumpay laban kay Sisera. Hindi ba pinangungunahan ka ni Yahweh?” Kaya bumaba si Barak mula sa Bundok Tabor na may sampung libong kalalakihang sumusunod sa kaniya.
And Debbora said to Barac, Rise up, for this [is] the day on which the Lord has delivered Sisara into thy hand, for the Lord shall go forth before thee: and Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 Ginawa ni Yahweh na malito ang hukbo ni Sisera, ang lahat ng kaniyang mga karwaheng pandigma, at lahat ng kaniyang hukbo. Sinalakay sila ng mga tauhan ni Barak at bumaba si Sisera sa kaniyang karwaheng pandigma at tumakbo.
And the Lord discomfited Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barac: and Sisara descended from off his chariot, and fled on his feet.
16 Pero tinugis ni Barak ang mga karwaheng pandigma at ang hukbo patungo sa Haroset ng mga Hentil, at ang buong hukbo ni Sisera ay namatay sa pamamagitan ng talim ng espada, at wala ni isa mang nakaligtas.
And Barac pursued after the chariots and after the army, into Arisoth of the Gentiles; and the whole army of Sisara fell by the edge of the sword, there was not one left.
17 Pero tumakbo palayo si Sisera patungo sa tolda ni Jael, na asawa ni Heber na Kenita, dahil mayroong kapayapaan sa pagitan ni Jabin na hari ng Hazor at ng sambahayan ni Heber na Kenita.
And Sisara fled on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Chaber the Kenite his friend: for there was peace between Jabin king of Asor and the house of Chaber the Kenite.
18 Lumabas si Jael para salubungin si Sisera at sinabi sa kaniya, “Lumapit ka, aking panginoon; lumapit ka patungo sa akin at huwag matakot.” Kaya lumapit si Sisera patungo sa kaniya at pumasok sa kaniyang tolda at siya ay tinakpan niya ng isang kumot.
And Jael went, out to meet Sisara, and said to him, Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me, fear not: and he turned aside to her into the tent; and she covered him with a mantle.
19 Sinabi niya sa kaniya, “Pakiusap bigyan mo ako ng kaunting tubig na maiinom, dahil ako ay nauuhaw.” Binuksan niya ang isang balat na supot ng gatas at binigyan siya ng inumin, at siya'y tinakpan niyang muli.
And Sisara said to 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 to drink, and covered him.
20 Sinabi niya sa kaniya, “Tumayo ka sa bungad ng tolda at kung may dumating at magtanong sa iyo, 'May tao ba riyan?' sabihing, 'Wala'.”
And Sisara said to her, Stand now by the door of the tent, and it shall come to pass if any man come to thee, and ask of thee, and say, Is there [any] man here? then thou shalt say, There is not.
21 Pagkatapos nagdala si Jael (ang asawa ni Heber) ng isang pakong kahoy ng tolda at martilyo sa kaniyang kamay at palihim na pumunta sa kaniya, dahil siya ay nasa mahimbing na pagtulog, at ipinukpok niya ang pakong kahoy sa tagiliran ng kaniyang ulo at ito ay tumusok patagos sa kaniya at bumaba sa lupa. At siya ay namatay.
And Jael the wife of Chaber took a pin of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went secretly to him, and fastened the pin in his temple, and it went through to the earth, and he fainted away, and darkness fell upon him and he died.
22 Habang hinahabol ni Barak si Sisera, lumabas si Jael para salubungin siya at sinabi sa kaniya, “Halika, ipapakita ko sa iyo ang taong hinahanap mo.” Kaya sumama siya sa kaniya, at naroon nakabulagtang patay si Sisera, na ang pakong kahoy ng tolda ay nasa tagiliran ng kaniyang ulo.
And, behold, Barac [was] pursuing Sisara: and Jael went out to meet him, and he said to him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest: and he went in to her; and, behold, Sisara was fallen dead, and the pin [was] in his temple.
23 Kaya sa araw na iyon tinalo ng Diyos si Jabin, ang hari ng Canaan, sa harapan ng mga tao ng Israel.
So God routed Jabin king of Chanaan in that day before the children of Israel.
24 Ang lakas ng mga tao ng Israel ay tumindi nang tumindi laban kay Jabin ang hari ng Canaan, hanggang sa siya ay wasakin nila.
And the hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin king of Chanaan, until they utterly destroyed Jabin king of Chanaan.
