Hakim-hakim 4

¹Setelah Ehud mati, orang Israel melakukan pula apa yang jahat di mata TUHAN.

¹And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD after Ehud died.

²Lalu TUHAN menyerahkan mereka ke dalam tangan Yabin, raja Kanaan, yang memerintah di Hazor. Panglima tentaranya ialah Sisera yang diam di Haroset-Hagoyim.

²And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-hagoyim.

³Lalu orang Israel berseru kepada TUHAN, sebab Sisera mempunyai sembilan ratus kereta besi dan dua puluh tahun lamanya ia menindas orang Israel dengan keras.

³Then the people of Israel cried out to the LORD for help, for he had 900 chariots of iron and he oppressed the people of Israel cruelly for twenty years.

⁴Pada waktu itu Debora, seorang nabiah, isteri Lapidot, memerintah sebagai hakim atas orang Israel.

⁴Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time.

⁵Ia biasa duduk di bawah pohon korma Debora antara Rama dan Betel di pegunungan Efraim, dan orang Israel menghadap dia untuk berhakim kepadanya.

⁵She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the people of Israel came up to her for judgment.

⁶Ia menyuruh memanggil Barak bin Abinoam dari Kedesh di daerah Naftali, lalu berkata kepadanya: "Bukankah TUHAN, Allah Israel, memerintahkan demikian: Majulah, bergeraklah menuju gunung Tabor dengan membawa sepuluh ribu orang bani Naftali dan bani Zebulon bersama-sama dengan engkau,

⁶She sent and summoned Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh-naphtali and said to him, "Has not the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded you, 'Go, gather your men at Mount Tabor, taking 10,000 from the people of Naphtali and the people of Zebulun.

⁷dan Aku akan menggerakkan Sisera, panglima tentara Yabin, dengan kereta-keretanya dan pasukan-pasukannya menuju engkau ke sungai Kison dan Aku akan menyerahkan dia ke dalam tanganmu."

⁷And I will draw out Sisera, the general of Jabin's army, to meet you by the river Kishon with his chariots and his troops, and I will give him into your hand'?"

⁸Jawab Barak kepada Debora: "Jika engkau turut maju akupun maju, tetapi jika engkau tidak turut maju akupun tidak maju."

⁸Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, I will go, but if you will not go with me, I will not go."

⁹Kata Debora: "Baik, aku turut! Hanya, engkau tidak akan mendapat kehormatan dalam perjalanan yang engkau lakukan ini, sebab TUHAN akan menyerahkan Sisera ke dalam tangan seorang perempuan." Lalu Debora bangun berdiri dan pergi bersama-sama dengan Barak ke Kedesh.

⁹And she said, "I will surely go with you. Nevertheless, the road on which you are going will not lead to your glory, for the LORD will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman." Then Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.

¹⁰Barak mengerahkan suku Zebulon dan suku Naftali ke Kedesh, maka sepuluh ribu orang maju mengikuti dia; juga Debora maju bersama-sama dengan dia.

¹⁰And Barak called out Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh. And 10,000 men went up at his heels, and Deborah went up with him.

¹¹Adapun Heber, orang Keni itu, telah memisahkan diri dari suku Keni, dari anak-anak Hobab ipar Musa, dan telah berpindah-pindah memasang kemahnya sampai ke pohon tarbantin di Zaanaim yang dekat Kedesh.

¹¹Now Heber the Kenite had separated from the Kenites, the descendants of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far away as the oak in Zaanannim, which is near Kedesh.

¹²Setelah dikabarkan kepada Sisera, bahwa Barak bin Abinoam telah maju ke gunung Tabor,

¹²When Sisera was told that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor,

¹³dikerahkannyalah segala keretanya, sembilan ratus kereta besi, dan seluruh rakyat yang bersama-sama dengan dia, dari Haroset-Hagoyim ke sungai Kison.

¹³Sisera called out all his chariots, 900 chariots of iron, and all the men who were with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the river Kishon.

¹⁴Lalu berkatalah Debora kepada Barak: "Bersiaplah, sebab inilah harinya TUHAN menyerahkan Sisera ke dalam tanganmu. Bukankah TUHAN telah maju di depan engkau?" Lalu turunlah Barak dari gunung Tabor dan sepuluh ribu orang mengikuti dia,

¹⁴And Deborah said to Barak, "Up! For this is the day in which the LORD has given Sisera into your hand. Does not the LORD go out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with 10,000 men following him.

¹⁵dan TUHAN mengacaukan Sisera serta segala keretanya dan seluruh tentaranya oleh mata pedang di depan Barak, sehingga Sisera turun dari keretanya dan melarikan diri dengan berjalan kaki.

¹⁵And the LORD routed Sisera and all his chariots and all his army before Barak by the edge of the sword. And Sisera got down from his chariot and fled away on foot.

¹⁶Lalu Barak mengejar kereta-kereta dan tentara itu sampai ke Haroset-Hagoyim, dan seluruh tentara Sisera tewas oleh mata pedang; tidak ada seorangpun yang tinggal hidup.

¹⁶And Barak pursued the chariots and the army to Harosheth-hagoyim, and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not a man was left.

¹⁷Tetapi Sisera dengan berjalan kaki melarikan diri ke kemah Yael, isteri Heber, orang Keni itu, sebab ada perhubungan baik antara Yabin, raja Hazor, dengan keluarga Heber, orang Keni itu.

¹⁷But Sisera fled away on foot 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.

¹⁸Yael itupun keluar mendapatkan Sisera, dan berkata kepadanya: "Singgahlah, tuanku, silakan masuk. Jangan takut." Lalu singgahlah ia ke dalam kemah perempuan itu dan perempuan itu menutupi dia dengan selimut.

¹⁸And Jael came out to meet Sisera and said to him, "Turn aside, my lord; turn aside to me; do not be afraid." So he turned aside to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.

¹⁹Kemudian berkatalah ia kepada perempuan itu: "Berilah kiranya aku minum air sedikit, aku haus." Lalu perempuan itu membuka kirbat susu, diberinyalah dia minum dan diselimutinya pula.

¹⁹And he said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty." So she opened a skin of milk and gave him a drink and covered him.

²⁰Lagi katanya kepada perempuan itu: "Berdirilah di depan pintu kemah dan apabila ada orang datang dan bertanya kepadamu: Ada orang di sini?, maka jawablah: Tidak ada."

²⁰And he said to her, "Stand at the opening of the tent, and if any man comes and asks you, 'Is anyone here?' say, 'No.'"

²¹Tetapi Yael, isteri Heber, mengambil patok kemah, diambilnya pula palu, mendekatinya diam-diam, lalu dilantaknyalah patok itu masuk ke dalam pelipisnya sampai tembus ke tanah--sebab ia telah tidur nyenyak karena lelahnya--maka matilah orang itu.

²¹But Jael the wife of Heber took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand. Then she went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple until it went down into the ground while he was lying fast asleep from weariness. So he died.

²²Pada waktu itu muncullah Barak yang mengejar Sisera. Keluarlah Yael mendapatkan dia dan berkata kepadanya: "Mari, aku akan menunjukkan kepadamu orang yang kaucari itu." Lalu masuklah Barak ke dalam dan tampaklah Sisera mati tergeletak dengan patok dalam pelipisnya.

²²And behold, as Barak was pursuing Sisera, Jael went out to meet him and said to him, "Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking." So he went in to her tent, and there lay Sisera dead, with the tent peg in his temple.

²³Demikianlah Allah pada hari itu menundukkan Yabin, raja Kanaan, di depan orang Israel.

²³So on that day God subdued Jabin the king of Canaan before the people of Israel.

²⁴Dan kekuasaan orang Israel kian keras menekan Yabin, raja Kanaan, sampai mereka melenyapkan Yabin, raja Kanaan itu.

²⁴And the hand of the people of Israel pressed harder and harder against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
