1Baphinda oonyana bakaSirayeli benza ububi emehlweni kaYehova, ekufeni kukaEhude.

2uYehova wathengisa ngabo, wabanikela esandleni sikaYabhin, ukumkani wakwaKanan, obephethe iHatsore; Ingqwayi-ngqwayi yakhe ibinguSisera, owayehlala eHarosheti yeentlanga.

3Bambiza oonyana bakaSirayeli kuYehova, ngokuba ebeneenqwelo zesinyithi ezingamakhulu asithoba; Wabacinezela oonyana bakaSirayeli iminyaka emashumi mabini.

4Kwaye uDebhora, umprofetikazi, umkaLapidoti, nguye owayekhokela amaSirayeli ngelo xesha.

5Wayehlala phantsi komthi wesundu kaDebhora phakathi kweRama neBheteli kummandla weentaba wakwaEfrayim, yaye oonyana bakaSirayeli benyuka baya kuye ukuze agwebe.

6Wathumela kuBharaki, unyana ka-Abhinowam, waseKedeshe-nafetali, wathi kuye, Akawisanga mthetho na uYehova, uThixo kaSirayeli, esithi, Yiya entabeni yeTabhore, uthabathe ishumi lamawaka koonyana bakaNafetali, uze? nawe? Koonyana bakaZebhulon?

7Ndiya kumtsalela kuwe uSisera, injengele yomkhosi kaYabhin, iinqwelo zakhe zokulwa nesihlwele sakhe kuMlambo iKishon; ndimnikele esandleni senu.

8Wathi uBharaki kuye, Ukuba ùthanda ukuhamba nam, ndohamba; ukuba akuthanga uhambe nam, andiyi kuhamba.

9Wathi, Ndiya kuhamba nawe; ngokuba uYehova uya kumnikela uSisera esandleni somfazi. Wagqiba uDebhora, wahamba noBharaki ukuya eKedeshe.

10uBharaki wawabiza amaZebhulon noNafetali, ukuba yiKedeshe; wenyuka eneshumi lamawaka amadoda ngasezinyaweni zakhe, noDebhora wenyuka naye.

11Wazahlula uHebhere, umKanan, koonyana bakaHobhabhi, uyise kaMoses, kumaKanan, wamisa iintente zakhe, wada wesa kuMoki waseSanayim eKedeshe.

12Waxelelwa uSisera ukuba uBharaki, unyana ka-Abhinowam, unyuke waya entabeni yeTabhore.

13uSisera wazihlanganisa zonke iinqwelo zakhe zokulwa, amakhulu asithoba eenqwelo zesinyithi yedwa, nabantu bonke ababenaye, bethabathela eHarosheti yeentlanga, besa emlanjeni oyiKishon.

14uDebhora wathi kuBharaki: “Yima! kuba le yimini uYehova aya kumnikela ngayo uSisera esandleni sakho. Akanikhokelanga na uYehova? Wehla uBharaki entabeni yeTabhore, elandelwa ngamadoda angamawaka alishumi.

15uYehova wamdubaduba uSisera neenqwelo zakhe zonke zokulwa, nomkhosi wakhe wonke, ngohlangothi lwekrele phambi koBharaki; Wehla uSisera enqwelweni yakhe, wasaba ngeenyawo.

16uBharaki wazisukela iinqwelo zokulwa nomkhosi, wesa eHarosheti yeentlanga; akwasala namnye.

17uSisera wasaba ngeenyawo, waya ententeni kaYaheli, umkaHebhere, umKeni; ngokuba belixolile phakathi koYabhin ukumkani waseHatsore nendlu kaHebhere umKeni.

18Waphuma ke uYaheli, waya kumkhawulela uSisera, wathi kuye, Khawuze kum, nkosi yam; Musa ukuphaphazela. Uthe xa engena naye ententeni, wamgquma ngengubo.

19Wathi kuye, Ndiphe amanzi ndisele, ngokuba ndinxaniwe; wayivula intsuba yobisi, wamseza, wayivala.

20Wathi ke kuye, Yima emnyango ententeni; uya kuthi: Hayi.

21uYaheli umkaHebhere wathabatha isikhonkwane sentente, waphatha isando ngesandla, wasondela kuye, wabethelela isikhonkwane ezibondeni zakhe, wasibethelela emhlabeni, kuba wayelele ubuthongo. Ngoko wafa.

22Kwathi, xa uBharaki esasukela uSisera, waphuma uYaheli waya kumkhawulela, wathi kuye, Yiza, ndikubonise indoda uyifunayo. Wathi akungena ententeni yakhe, wabona uSisera elele efile, enesikhonkwane etempileni yakhe.

23uThixo wamthoba ngaloo mini uYabhin, ukumkani wamaKanan, phambi koonyana bakaSirayeli.

24Isandla soonyana bakaSirayeli saqhubeka simoyisa uYabhin, ukumkani wamaKanan, bada bamchitha uYabhin, ukumkani wakwaKanan.
