| [1]AND the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, after Ehur was dead. |
[1]And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, when Ehud was dead. |
| [2]And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Nabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the general of whose army was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles. |
[2]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 gave them over into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth-goiim. |
| [3]And the children of Israel cried to the LORD; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and oppressed the children of Israel for twenty years |
[3]And the children of Israel cried unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel. |
| [4]And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapithor, judged Israel at that time. |
[4]Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time. |
| [5]And Deborah dwelt under the palm tree between Ramtha and Beth-el on mount Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment. |
[5]And she sat under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment. |
| [6]And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam from Rakim of Naphtali, and said to him, Has not the LORD God of Israel commanded you, saying, Go and dwell on mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men from the children of Naphtali and from the children of Zebulun? |
[6]And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him: 'Hath not 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, the 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? |
| [7]And let them come with you to the river Kishon against Sisera, the general of Nabin's army, and against his chariots, and against his forces; and I will deliver him into your hands. |
[7]And I will draw unto thee to the brook Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thy hand. |
| [8]And Barak said to her, If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, then I will not go. |
[8]And Barak said unto her: 'If thou wilt go with me, then I will go; but if thou wilt not go with me, I will not go.' |
| [9]And she said, I will surely go with you; nevertheless you shall not glory on account of the journey which you are taking; for the LORD shall deliver Sisera into the hands of a woman. And Deborah arose and went with Barak to Rakim |
[9]And she said: 'I will surely go with thee; notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thy honour; for 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 will give Sisera over into the hand of a woman.' And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh. |
| [10]And Barak mobilized Zebulun and Naphtali to Rakim; and ten thousand men went up with him; and Deborah also went up with him. |
[10]And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up ten thousand men at his feet; and Deborah went up with him. |
| [11]Now Heber the Kenite had left the Kenites, the descendants of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak which is in Zaanaim, which is by Rakim. |
[11]Now Heber the Kenite had severed himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as Elon-bezaanannim, which is by Kedesh. |
| [12]And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to mount Tabor. |
[12]And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor. |
| [13]And Sisera gathered together all of his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles as far as the river of Kishon. |
[13]And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth-goiim, unto the brook Kishon. |
| [14]And Deborah said to Barak, Arise, for this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hands; behold, the LORD is going out before you. So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men with him. |
[14]And Deborah said unto Barak: 'Up; for this is the day in which 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 hath delivered Sisera into thy hand; is not 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 gone out before thee?' So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him. |
| [15]And the LORD defeated Sisera and all his chariots and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera alighted from his chariot and fled on foot. |
[15]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on his feet. |
| [16]But Barak pursued his chariots and his army as far as Harosheth of the Gentiles; and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; and not a man escaped |
[16]But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth-goiim; and all the host of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not a man left. |
| [17]However, Sisera fled on foot, and entered the tent of Anael the wife of Heber the Kenite, because there was peace between Nabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. |
[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. |
| [18]And Anael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And he went in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug. |
[18]And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him: 'Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not.' And he turned in unto her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug. |
| [19]And he said to her, Give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she untied the milkskin and gave him a drink and covered him. |
[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. |
| [20]Again he said to her, Stand at the door of the tent, and if any man does come and ask you, and say, Is there any man here? You shall say to him, No. |
[20]And he said unto her: 'Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and inquire of thee, and say: Is there any man here? that thou shalt say: No.' |
| [21]Then Anael, Heber's wife, got a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand and went to him as he was sleeping, and drove the peg into his temples, and pounded it into the ground while he was fast asleep, and he shivered and died. |
[21]Then Jae Heber's wife took a tent-pin, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he swooned and died. |
| [22]And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Anael went out to meet him and said to him, Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek. And he went into her tent, and, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the peg was through his temples. |
[22]And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him: 'Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest.' And he came unto her; and, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent-pin was in his temples. |
| [23]So on that day God defeated Nabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel. |
[23]So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel. |
| [24]And the hand of the children of Israel prospered and prevailed against Nabin the king of Canaan until they slew Nabin king of Canaan |
[24]And the hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan. |
