Bo-Debora le Barake ba hlola Sisera
1Ha Ehude a se a shwele, bana ba Iseraele ba boela ba sitelwa Morena. 2Morena a neelana ka bona matsohong a Jabine, kgosi ya Kanana, e neng e busa Hasore. Molaodi wa mabotho a hae e ne e le Sisera, ya neng a ahile Haroshete ya Baditjhaba. 3Bana ba Iseraele ba ipiletsa ho Morena, hobane Jabine o ne a ena le dikariki tsa ntwa tse makgolo a robong, tse entsweng ka tshepe. A hatella bana ba Iseraele habohloko ka dilemo tse mashome a mabedi.
4Ka nako eo, moporofeta Debora, mosadi wa Lapidote, e ne e le yena moahlodi wa Baiseraele. 5Debora o ne a ye a dule tlasa sefate sa hae sa palema, pakeng tsa Rama le Bethele, naheng e maralla ya Efraime. Bana ba Iseraele ba ne ba ye ba ye ho yena ho ya ahlolelwa. 6A roma maqosa ho ya bitsa Barake, mora wa Abinoame, ya tswang Kedeshe e Nafthali, mme Debora a re ho yena: “Morena Modimo wa Iseraele, o o laetse, a re: ‘Tsamaya, o lebe thabeng ya Tabore, o ye le bana ba dikete tse leshome ba tswang hara bana ba Nafthali le hara bana ba Sebulone. 7Sisera, molaodi wa mabotho a Jabine, ke tla mo nonoeletsa molatswaneng wa Kishone, a tle ka dikariki tsa hae tsa ntwa, le ka mabotho a hae, ebe ke neelana ka yena matsohong a hao.’ ”
8Barake a re ho yena: “Haeba o tla tsamaya le nna, ke tla tla ya, empa haeba o sa tsamaye le nna, ha ke na ho ya.”
9Debora a re: “Ruri ke tla tsamaya le wena, empa leeto leo o le nkang ha le na ho o tlisetsa tlotla, hobane Morena o tla neelana ka Sisera matsohong a mosadi.” Yaba Debora o a ema, o tsamaya le Barake ho ya Kedeshe. 10Barake a bitsetsa banna ba Sebulone le ba Nafthali Kedeshe, mme a nyolohela teng a ena le banna ba dikete tse leshome. Debora a nyoloha le yena.
11Jwale Hebere wa Mokene o ne a ikarohantse ho Bakene, e leng ditloholo tsa Hobabe, mohwe wa Moshe, a hlomme tente ya hae tlasa sefate sa eike se Saananime, e pela Kedeshe.
12Ba tsebisa Sisera hore Barake, mora wa Abinoame, o nyolohetse thabeng ya Tabore. 13Sisera a bokella dikariki tsa hae tsohle tsa ntwa, e le dikariki tse makgolo a robong tsa ntwa, tse entsweng ka tshepe; le mabotho wohle ao a neng a ena le wona, ho tloha Haroshete ya Baditjhaba ho ya fihla molatswaneng wa Kishone.
14Debora a re ho Barake: “Tsamaya! Lena ke letsatsi leo ka lona Morena a neelanang ka Sisera matsohong a hao. Ha ke re Morena o se a o eteletse pele?” Barake a theoha thabeng ya Tabore, a ena le banna ba dikete tse leshome. 15Morena a qhalanya Sisera le dikariki tsa hae tsohle tsa ntwa, le lebotho la hae lohle ka sabole, kapele ho Barake. Sisera a theoha kariking ya hae ya ntwa, a hlanola tlhabela. 16Barake a phaladisa dikariki le lebotho ho ya fihla Haroshete ya Baditjhaba, moo lebotho lohle la Sisera le ileng la bolaelwa teng ka sabole, ha se ke ha sala le ya mong.
17Empa Sisera a hlanola tlhabela ho ya fihla tenteng ya Jaele, mosadi wa Hebere wa Mokene, hobane kgotso e ne e le teng pakeng tsa Jabine, kgosi ya Hasore, le lelapa la Hebere wa Mokene.
18Jaele a ya kgahlanyetsa Sisera, mme a re ho yena: “Fapohela mona, monghadi; kena ka tenteng yaka, o se ke wa tshaba.” Yaba Sisera o kena ka tenteng, Jaele a mo kwahela ka kobo.
19Sisera a re ho Jaele: “Ako mphe metsinyana ke nwe, hobane ke nyorilwe.” A bula lekuka la lebese, a mo nea, a nwa, yaba o mo kwahela hape.
20Sisera a re ho Jaele: “Ema monyakong wa tente, mme ere ha motho a ka fihla, a o botsa, a re: ‘Na ho na le motho moo?’ Wena o tle o re: ‘Tjhe!’ ”
21Jwale Jaele, mosadi wa Hebere, a nka thakgisa ya tente, a nka le noto ka letsohong, a mo nanyetsa, a kgokgothella thakgisa eo tlhafunelong ya hae, ya phunyeletsa ho ya fihla fatshe. Sisera o ne a ile le sephume sa boroko, a kgathetse. Yaba o a shwa.
22Yare ha Barake a ntse a phaladisa Sisera, Jaele a ya mo kgahlanyetsa, a re ho yena: “Tloo, ke tla o bontsha motho eo o ntseng o mmatla.” Barake a kena ka tenteng ya Jaele, mme a bona Sisera a tjapaletse fatshe, a se a shwele, thakgisa e kene tlhafunelong ya hae.
23Ka lona letsatsi leo Modimo a kokobetsa Jabine, kgosi ya Kanana, kapele ho bana ba Iseraele. 24Bana ba Iseraele ba nna ba tswela pele ho imela Jabine, kgosi ya Kanana, ho fihlela ba timetsa kgosi eo ya Kanana.
