Deborah
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead.
Hata alipokufa Ehudi, wana wa Israeli wakafanya yaliyo maovu tena mbele za macho ya Bwana.
2 And the LORD 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.
Bwana akawauza na kuwatia katika mkono wa Yabini, mfalme wa Kanaani, aliyetawala huko Hazori; na Sisera, aliyekaa katika Haroshethi wa Mataifa, alikuwa amiri wa jeshi lake.
3 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
Wana wa Israeli wakamlilia Bwana; kwa kuwa Sisera alikuwa na magari ya chuma mia kenda; naye akawaonea wana wa Israeli kwa nguvu muda wa miaka ishirini.
4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
Basi Debora, nabii mke, mkewe Lapidothi, ndiye aliyekuwa mwamuzi wa Israeli wakati ule.
5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Naye alikaa chini ya mtende wa Debora, kati ya Rama na Betheli, katika nchi ya vilima vilima ya Efraimu; wana wa Israeli wakakwea kwake, awaamue.
6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God 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?
Huyo akatuma mtu akamwita Baraka wa Abinoamu toka Kedesh-Naftali, akamwambia, Je! Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, hakutoa amri, akisema, Enenda, ukawavute kwako, huko katika mlima wa Tabori, watu elfu kumi wa wana wa Naftali, na wa wana wa Zabuloni?
7 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.
Nami nitakuvutia Sisera, amiri wa jeshi lake Yabini, hata mto wa Kishoni, pamoja na magari yake, na wingi wa watu wake; nami nitamtia mkononi mwako.
8 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.
Baraka akamwambia, Kama utakwenda pamoja nami ndipo nitakwenda; bali kama huendi pamoja nami, mimi siendi.
9 And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey 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.
Basi akasema, Hakika nitakwenda pamoja nawe, lakini safari utakayoiendea haitakupatia heshima wewe; maana Bwana atamwuza Sisera katika mkono wa mwanamke. Debora akainuka, akaenda pamoja na Baraka mpaka Kedeshi.
10 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.
Baraka akawakutanisha Naftali na Zabuloni waende Kedeshi wakakwea watu elfu kumi wakimfuata; Debora naye akaenda pamoja naye.
11 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.
Basi Heberi, Mkeni, alikuwa amejitenga na Wakeni, yaani na wana wa Hobabu, shemeji yake Musa, akaipiga hema yake mbali penye mwaloni ulioko Saanaimu, karibu na Kedeshi.
12 And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
Watu wakamwambia Sisera ya kwamba Baraka, mwana wa Abinoamu amekwea kwenda mlima wa Tabori.
13 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.
Sisera akayakusanya magari yake yote, naam, magari ya chuma mia kenda, na watu wote waliokuwa pamoja naye, toka Haroshethi wa Mataifa mpaka mto wa Kishoni.
14 And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Debora akamwambia Baraka, Haya! Inuka; maana siku hii ndiyo siku ambayo Bwana amemtia Sisera katika mkono wako. Je! Bwana hakutoka atangulie mbele yako? Basi Baraka akashuka katika mlima wa Tabori, na watu elfu kumi wakamfuata.
15 And the LORD 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.
Bwana akamfadhaisha Sisera na magari yake yote, na jeshi lake lote, kwa makali ya upanga, mbele ya Baraka; basi Sisera akashuka katika gari lake, akakimbia kwa miguu.
16 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.
Lakini Baraka akayafuatia magari, na jeshi, hata Haroshethi wa Mataifa; na hilo jeshi lote la Sisera likaanguka kwa makali ya upanga; hakusalia hata mtu mmoja.
17 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.
Lakini Sisera akakimbia kwa miguu, akaifikilia hema ya Yaeli mkewe Heberi, Mkeni; kwa maana palikuwa na amani kati ya Yabini, mfalme wa Hazori, na nyumba ya Heberi, Mkeni.
18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
Yaeli akatoka kwenda kumlaki Sisera, akamwambia, Karibu Bwana wangu, karibu kwangu; usiogope. Akakaribia kwake hemani, naye akamfunika kwa bushuti.
19 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.
Akamwambia, Tafadhali nipe maji kidogo ninywe; maana nina kiu. Akafungua chupa ya maziwa, akampa kunywa, akamfunika.
20 Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
Naye akamwambia, Simama mlangoni pa hema; kisha itakuwa mtu awaye yote akija na kukuuliza, akisema, Je! Yupo mtu hapa, basi, mjibu, La, hapana.
21 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.
Ndipo Yaeli, mkewe Heberi, akatwaa kigingi cha hema, akashika nyundo mkononi mwake, akamwendea polepole, akamtia kile kigingi katika kipaji chake, nacho kikapenya, hata kuingia mchangani; kwa maana usingizi mzito ulikuwa umemshika; basi akazimia, akafa.
22 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.
Na tazama, Baraka alipokuwa akimfuatia Sisera; Yaeli akatoka ili kumlaki, akamwambia, Njoo, nami nitakuonyesha yule mtu unayemtafuta. Basi akamwendea, na tazama, Sisera amelala humo, amekufa, na hicho kigingi kilikuwa kipajini mwake.
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
Basi hivyo Mungu akamshinda Yabini, mfalme wa Kanaani mbele ya wana wa Israeli siku hiyo.
24 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.
Mkono wa wana wa Israeli ukazidi kupata nguvu juu ya Yabini, mfalme wa Kanaani, hata walipokuwa wamemwangamiza Yabini, mfalme wa Kanaani.
