Abahluleli 4

¹Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babuye benza okubi emehlweni kaJehova ekufeni kuka-Ehudi.

²UJehova wabathengisa esandleni sikaJabini inkosi yaseKhanani, owayebusa eHasori; induna yakhe kwakunguSisera, owayehlala eHaroshethi labezizwe.

³Abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhuleka kuJehova, ngokuba wayenezinqola zensimbi ezingamakhulu ayisishiyagalolunye; iminyaka engamashumi amabili wabacindezela kakhulu abantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

⁴UDebora, umprofethikazi, umkaLapidoti, wayehola u-Israyeli ngaleso sikhathi.

⁵Wayehlala phansi kwesundu likaDebora phakathi kweRama neBethele ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi; abantwana bakwa-Israyeli bakhuphukela kuye ukuze bagwetshwe.

⁶Wathumela wabiza uBharaki indodana ka-Abinohama eKedeshinafetali, wathi kuye: “Akashongo yini uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli ukuthi: ‘Hamba uye entabeni yaseThabori, uthathe amadoda ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi kubantwana bakwaNafetali, uhambe nawe, abanye babantwana bakwaZebuloni na?

⁷Ngiyakudonsela kuwe uSisera induna yempi kaJabini nezinqola zakhe nesixuku sakhe emfuleni iKishoni; ngiyakumnikela esandleni sakho.

⁸UBaraki wasesithi kuye: Uba uthanda ukuhamba lami, ngizahamba; kepha uma ungahambi nami, angiyikuhamba.

⁹Wathi: “Impela ngiyakuhamba nawe; ngoba uJehova uzathengisa uSisera esandleni sowesifazana. UDebora waqeda, wahamba noBaraki eKedeshi.

¹⁰UBharaki wabiza oZebuloni noNafetali eKedeshi; wakhuphuka namadoda ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi ezinyaweni zakhe, noDebora wakhuphuka naye.

¹¹UHebhere, umKheni, owayevela kubantwana bakwaHobabi, umukhwe kaMose, wazahlukanisa namaKheni, wamisa itende lakhe kwaze kwaba se-okini laseSanayimi eKedeshi.

¹²Bamtshela uSisera ukuthi uBaraki, indodana ka-Abinohama, ukhuphukele entabeni yaseThabori.

¹³USisera wabutha zonke izinqola zakhe, izinqola zensimbi ezingamakhulu ayisishiyagalolunye, nabo bonke abantu ababenaye, kusukela eHarosheti labezizwe kuze kufike emfuleni iKishoni.

¹⁴UDebora wasesithi kuBharaki: Sukuma! ngoba lolu lusuku iNkosi ezanikela ngalo uSisera esandleni sakho. UJehova akahambanga phambi kwakho na? UBharaki wehla entabeni yaseThabori namadoda ayizinkulungwane eziyishumi emva kwakhe.

¹⁵UJehova wamsanganisa uSisera nazo zonke izinqola zakhe nempi yakhe yonke ngobukhali benkemba phambi kukaBaraki; uSisera wehla enqoleni yakhe, wabaleka ngezinyawo.

¹⁶Kepha uBaraki waxosha izinqola nempi kwaze kwaba seHarosheti labezizwe, yonke impi kaSisera yawa ngosiko lwenkemba; akwasala muntu.

¹⁷USisera wabaleka ngezinyawo waya etendeni likaJayeli umkaHebhere umKheni, ngokuba kwakukhona ukuthula phakathi kukaJabini inkosi yaseHazori nendlu kaHebhere umKheni.

¹⁸UJayeli waphuma ukumhlangabeza uSisera, wathi kuye: “Woza, nkosi yami, uze kimi; Ungesabi. Esengena naye etendeni, wamembathisa ingubo.

¹⁹Wathi kuye: “Ngiphuzise ingcosana yamanzi; ngoba ngomile Futhi wavula ibhodlela lobisi futhi wamphuzisa wavala.

²⁰Wathi futhi kuye: “Yima ngasemnyango wetende; kuyakuthi lapho kufika othile futhi akubuze athi: ‘Ukhona yini lapha na?’ ukuthi lizakuthi: Hatshi.

²¹Khona-ke uJayeli umkaHebhere wathatha isikhonkwane etendeni waphatha isando ngesandla sakhe, waya kuye ngobumnene, wasibethela isikhonkwane ezinhlafunweni zakhe, wasigxisha emhlabathini, ngoba wayelele ubuthongo obukhulu futhi ekhathele. Ngakho wafa.

²²Bheka, uBaraki esaxosha uSisera, uJayeli waphuma ukumhlangabeza, wathi kuye: “Woza, ngikubonise umuntu omfunayo.” Lapho engena etendeni lakhe, bheka, uSisera wayelele efile, isikhonkwane sisethempelini lakhe.

²³UNkulunkulu wamnqoba uJabini inkosi yaseKhanani ngalolo suku phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli.

²⁴Isandla sabantwana bakwa-Israyeli saqhubeka saba namandla phezu kukaJabini inkosi yaseKhanani baze bamchitha uJabini inkosi yaseKhanani.
