Atemmufo 4
1 Ehud wu akyi no, Israelfo no yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so bio.
And the children of Israel began againe to do wickedly in the sight of the Lord when Ehud was dead.
2 Enti Awurade de wɔn hyɛɛ Kanaanhene Yabin a na odi ade wɔ Hasor no nsa. Na ɔsahene a otua nʼakofo ano no din de Sisera a na ɔte Haroset-Hagoyim.
And the Lord sold them into the hande of Iabin King of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor, whose chiefe Captaine was called Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
3 Na Sisera wɔ nnade nteaseɛnam ahankron, na ɔde atirimɔden hyɛɛ Israelfo no so mfirihyia aduonu. Afei Israelfo no su frɛɛ Awurade pɛɛ mmoa.
Then the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord: (for he had nine hundreth charets of yron, and twentie yeeres he had vexed the children of Israel very sore)
4 Debora a na ɔyɛ Lapidot yere ne odiyifobea na ɔbɛyɛɛ Israelfo temmufo.
And at that time Deborah a Prophetesse the wife of Lapidoth iudged Israel.
5 Na ɔtenaa Debora Abɛ Dua ase a ɛwɔ Rama ne Bet-El ntam wɔ Efraim bepɔw asase no so. Ɛhɔ na na Israelfo no kɔ ma odi wɔn nsɛm.
And this Deborah dwelt vnder a palme tree, betweene Ramah and Beth-el in mount Ephraim, and the children of Israel came vp to her for iudgement.
6 Da bi, ɔsoma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Abinoam babarima Barak a na ɔte Kedes wɔ Naftali asase so. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn hyɛ wo sɛ yɛ: Kɔboaboa akofo mpem du ano fi Naftali ne Sebulon mmusuakuw mu wɔ Tabor bepɔw so hɔ.
Then shee sent and called Barak the sonne of Abinoam out of Kadesh of Naphtali, and sayd vnto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Goe, and drawe towarde mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousande men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
7 Mɛdaadaa Yabin nsraadɔm sahene Sisera ne ne nteaseɛnam ne akofo akɔ Asubɔnten Kison ho. Ɛhɔ na mɛma woadi ne so nkonim.”
And I wil drawe vnto thee to the riuer Kishon Sisera, the captaine of Iabins armie with his charets, and his multitude, and wil deliuer him into thine hand.
8 Barak ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛ wo ne me bɛkɔ de a, mɛkɔ!”
And Barak sayd vnto her, If thou wilt go with me, I will go: but if thou wilt not goe with me, I will not go.
9 Debora buaa no se, “Mate, me ne wo bɛkɔ, nanso worennya anuonyam biara wɔ dwumadi yi mu, efisɛ Awurade nkonimdi wɔ Sisera so no befi ɔbea nsam.” Enti Debora ne Barak kɔɔ Kedes.
Then shee answered, I will surely goe with thee, but this iourney that thou takest, shall not be for thine honour: for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 Kedes hɔ, Barak frɛfrɛɛ Sebulon abusuakuw ne Naftali abusuakuw mu nnipa nyinaa, na akofo mpem du ne no kɔe. Debora nso kaa wɔn ho kɔe.
And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and he went vp on his feete with ten thousand men, and Deborah went vp with him.
11 Na Kenini Heber atwe ne ho afi Kenifo a wɔyɛ Mose akonta Hobab asefo no ho, akosi ne ntamadan wɔ dua kɛse bi a esi Saananim a ɛbɛn Kedes no ho.
(Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in lawe of Moses, was departed from the Kenites, and pitched his tent vntill the playne of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh)
12 Bere a wɔka kyerɛɛ Sisera sɛ Abinoam ba Barak aforo kɔ Tabor bepɔw so no,
Then they shewed Sisera, that Barak the sonne of Abinoam was gone vp to mout Tabor.
13 ɔboaboaa ne nnade nteaseɛnam ahankron ano ne nʼakofo nyinaa, na wotu sen fii Haroset-Hagoyim kɔɔ Asubɔnten Kison ho.
And Sisera called for all his charets, euen nine hundreth charets of yron, and all the people that were with him from Harosheth of the Gentiles, vnto the riuer Kishon.
14 Afei, Debora ka kyerɛɛ Barak sɛ, “Yɛ ahoboa! Nnɛ ne da a Awurade de Sisera so nkonimdi bɛma wo, efisɛ, Awurade atu ɔsa adi wʼanim.” Enti Barak dii nʼakofo mpem du anim sian Tabor bepɔw no kɔkoe.
Then Deborah sayd vnto Barak, Vp: for this is the day that the Lord hath deliuered Sisera into thine hand. Is not the Lord gone out before thee? So Barak went downe from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 Bere a Barak tow hyɛɛ wɔn so no, Awurade maa huboa bɔɔ Sisera, ne nteaseɛnamkafo ne nʼakofo no nyinaa. Ɛbaa saa no, Sisera huruw fii ne teaseɛnam mu sii fam guanee.
And the Lord destroyed Sisera and all his charets, and al his hoste with the edge of the sword before Barak, so that Sisera lighted downe off his charet, and fled away on his feete.
16 Barak nteaseɛnam ne ɔtamfo no nsraadɔm no ara kosii Haroset-Hagoyim, kunkum Sisera akofo no nyinaa. Anka wɔn mu baako mpo.
But Barak pursued after the charets, and after the hoste vnto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the hoste of Sisera fel vpon the edge of the sworde: there was not a man left.
17 Sisera guan kɔhyɛɛ Kenini Heber yere Yael ntamadan mu, efisɛ na Heber abusuafo ne Hasorhene Yabin wɔ ayɔnkofa.
Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feete to the tent of Iael the wife of Heber the Kenite: (for peace was betweene Iabin the king of Hazor, and betweene the house of Heber the Kenite)
18 Yael fii adi kohyiaa Sisera ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Owura, bra me ntamadan yi mu. Bra mu. Nsuro.” Enti ɔkɔɔ ntamadan no mu ma ɔde nnaso kataa ne so.
And Iael went out to meete Sisera, and sayd vnto him, Turne in, my lord, turne in to me: feare not. And when he had turned in vnto her into her tent, she couered him with a mantell.
19 Sisera ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mesrɛ wo, osukɔm de me nti ma me nsu.” Enti ɔmaa no nufusu sɛ ɔnnom, na ɔsan kataa ne so.
And he said vnto her, Giue me, I pray thee, a litle water to drinke: for I am thirstie. And shee opened a bottel of milke, and gaue him drinke, and couered him.
20 Sisera ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Gyina ntamadan no ano na sɛ obi bebisa wo se obi wɔ ha a, ka se dabi.”
Againe he sayde vnto her, Stande in the doore of the tent, and when any man doth come and enquire of thee, saying, Is any man there? thou shalt say, Nay.
21 Nanso ɔbrɛ nti, Sisera faa mu dae. Yael, a ɔyɛ Heber yere, yɛɛ brɛoo kɔɔ ne so. Ɔde asae ne pɛe na ɛkɔe. Ɔde pɛe no sii ne moma so de hama no bɔɔ so, kosii sɛ ehwirew ne moma mu sii fam ma owui.
Then Iael Hebers wife tooke a nayle of the tent, and tooke an hammer in her hande, and went softly vnto him, and smote the nayle into his temples, and fastened it into the grounde, (for he was fast a sleepe and weary) and so he dyed.
22 Bere a Barak baa sɛ ɔrebɛhwehwɛ Sisera no, Yael pue behyiaa no. Ɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Bra na menkyerɛ wo ɔbarima a worehwehwɛ no no.” Enti, odii nʼakyi kɔɔ ntamadan no mu kohuu Sisera sɛ wawu da hɔ a pɛe si ne moma so.
And behold, as Barak pursued after Sisera, Iael came out to meete him, and sayd vnto him, Come, and I wil shewe thee the man, whome thou seekest: and when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nayle in his temples.
23 Da no na Israel huu sɛ Onyankopɔn adi Kanaanhene Yabin so nkonim.
So God brought downe Iabin the King of Canaan that day before the children of Israel.
24 Na ɛno akyi no, Israel nyaa ahoɔden tiaa ɔhene Yabin ara kosii sɛ akyiri no, wɔsɛee no.
And the hande of the children of Israel prospered, and preuailed against Iabin the King of Canaan, vntill they had destroyed Iabin King of Canaan.
