Judges 4

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBLIA
1 But after the death of Ehud, the sons of Israel resumed doing evil in the sight of the Lord.	1 Cuando murió Ehúd los israelitas volvieron a hacer lo que desagradaba a Yahveh,
2 And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Jabin, the king of Canaan, who reigned at Hazor. And he had a commander of his army named Sisera, but this man lived at Harosheth of the Gentiles.	2 y Yahveh los dejó a merced de Yabín, rey de Canaán, que reinaba en Jasor. El jefe de su ejército era Sísara, que habitaba en Jaróset Haggoyim.
3 And the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord. For he had nine hundred chariots with scythes, and he vehemently oppressed them for twenty years.	3 Entonces los israelitas clamaron a Yahveh. Porque Yabín tenía novecientos carros de hierro y había oprimido duramente a los israelitas durante veinte años.
4 Now there was a prophetess, Deborah, the wife of Lappidoth, who judged the people in that time.	4 En aquel tiempo, Débora, una profetisa, mujer de Lappidot, era juez en Israel.
5 And she was sitting under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Ramah and Bethel, on Mount Ephraim. And the sons of Israel went up to her for every judgment.	5 Se sentaba bajo la palmera de Débora, entre Ramá y Betel, en la montaña de Efraím; y los israelitas subían donde ella en busca de justicia.
6 And she sent and called Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh of Naphtali. And she said to him: “The Lord, the God of Israel, instructs you: ‘Go and lead an army to Mount Tabor, and you shall take with you ten thousand fighting men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons of Zebulun.	6 Esta mandó llamar a Baraq, hijo de Abinoam, de Quédes de Neftalí, y le dijo: «¿Acaso no te ordena esto Yahveh, Dios de Israel: “Vete, y en el monte Tabor recluta y toma contigo 10.000 hombres de los hijos de Neftalí y de los hijos de Zabulón.
7 Then I will lead to you, at the place of the torrent Kishon, Sisera, the leader of the army of Jabin, with his chariots and the entire multitude. And I will deliver them into your hand.’ ”	7 Yo atraeré hacia ti al torrente Quison a Sísara,jefe del ejército de Yabín, con sus carros y sus tropas, y los pondré en tus manos”?»
8 And Barak said to her: “If you will come with me, I will go. If you are not willing to come with me, I will not go.”	8 Baraq le respondió: «Si vienes tú conmigo, voy. Pero si no vienes conmigo, no voy, porque no sé en qué día me dará la victoria el Angel de Yahveh».
9 She said to him: “Indeed, I will go with you. But due to this change, the victory shall not be reputed to you. And so Sisera will be delivered into the hand of a woman.” Therefore, Deborah rose up, and she traveled with Barak to Kedesh.	9 «Iré contigo - dijo ella - sólo que entonces no será tuya la gloria del camino que emprendes, porque Yahveh entregará a Sísara en manos de una mujer». Débora se levantó y marchó con Baraq a Quédes.
10 And he, summoning Zebulun and Naphtali, ascended with ten thousand fighting men, having Deborah in his company.	10 Y Baraq convocó en Quédes a Zabulón y Neftalí. Subieron tras él 10.000 hombres y Débora subió con el.
11 Now Heber, the Kenite, had previously withdrawn from the rest of the Kenites, his brothers, the sons of Hobab, the relative of Moses. And he had pitched his tents as far as the valley that is called Zaanannim, which was near Kedesh.	11 Jéber el quenita, se había separado de la tribu de Caín y del clan de los hijos de Jobab, el suegro de Moisés; había plantado su tienda cerca de la Encina de Saanannim, cerca de Quédes.
12 And it was reported to Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, had ascended to Mount Tabor.	12 Le comunicaron a Sísara que Baraq, hijo de Abinoam, había subido al monte Tabor.
13 And he gathered together the nine hundred chariots with scythes, and the entire army, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to the torrent Kishon.	13 Reunió Sísara todos sus carros, y todas las tropas que tenía y las llevó de Jaróset Haggoyim al Torrente de Quisón.
14 And Deborah said to Barak: “Rise up. For this is the day on which the Lord delivers Sisera into your hands. For he is your commander.” And so, Barak descended from Mount Tabor, and the ten thousand fighting men with him.	14 Débora dijo a Baraq: «Levántate, porque este es el día en que Yahveh ha entregado a Sísara en tus manos. ¿No es cierto que Yahveh marcha delante de ti?» Baraq bajó del monte Tabor seguido de los 10.000 hombres.
15 And the Lord struck Sisera with great fear, and all his chariots and all his multitude with the edge of the sword, in the sight of Barak, so much so that Sisera, leaping from his chariot, fled on foot.	15 Yahveh sembró el panico en Sísara, en todos sus carros y en todo su ejército ante Baraq. Sísara bajó de su carro y huyó a pie.
16 And Barak pursued the fleeing chariots, and the army, as far as Harosheth of the Gentiles. And the entire multitude of the enemy was cut down, unto utter annihilation.	16 Baraq persiguió a los carros y al ejército hasta Jaróset Haggoyim. Todo el ejército de Sísara cayó a filo de espada: no quedó ni uno.
17 But Sisera, while fleeing, arrived at 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.	17 Pero Sísara huyó a pie hacia la tienda de Yael, mujer de Jéber el quenita, porque reinaba la paz entre Yabín, rey de Jasor, y la casa de Jéber el quenita.
18 Therefore, Jael went out to meet Sisera, and she said to him: “Enter to me, my lord. Enter, you should not be afraid.” And he entered her tent, and having been covered by her with a cloak,	18 Yael salió al encuentro de Sísara y le dijo: «Entra, señor mío, entra en mi casa. No temas». Y entró en su tienda y ella lo tapó con un cobertor.
19 he said to her: “Give me, I beg you, a little water. For I am very thirsty.” And she opened a bottle of milk, and she gave him to drink. And she covered him.	19 El le dijo: «Por favor, dame de beber un poco de agua, porque tengo sed». Ella abrió el odre de la leche, le dio de beber y lo volvió a tapar.
20 And Sisera said to her: “Stand before the door of the tent. And if anyone arrives, questioning you and saying, ‘Could there be any man here?’ you shall respond, ‘There is no one.’ ”	20 El le dijo; «Estáte a la entrada de la tienda y si alguno viene, te pregunta y te dice: “¿Hay alguien aquí?, respóndele que no».
21 And so Jael, the wife of Heber, took a spike from the tent, and also took a mallet. And entering unseen and with silence, she placed the spike over the temple of his head. And striking it with the mallet, she drove it through his brain, as far as the ground. And so, joining deep sleep to death, he fell unconscious and died.	21 Pero Yael, mujer de Jéber, cogió una clavija de la tienda, tomó el martillo en su mano, se le acercó callando y le hincó la clavija en la sien hasta clavarla en tierra. El estaba profundamente dormido, agotado de cansancio; y murió.
22 And behold, Barak arrived, in pursuit of Sisera. And Jael, going out to meet him, said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.” And when he had entered her tent, he saw Sisera lying dead, with the spike fixed in his temples.	22 Cuando llegó Baraq persiguiendo a Sísara, Yael salió a su encuentro y le dijo: «Ven, que te voy a mostrar al hombre que buscas». Entró donde ella, y Sísara yacía muerto con la clavija en la sien.
23 Thus did God humble Jabin, the king of Canaan, on that day, before the sons of Israel.	23 Así humilló Dios aquel día a Yabín, rey de Canaán, ante los israelitas.
24 And they increased every day. And with a strong hand they overpowered Jabin, the king of Canaan, until they wiped him out.	24 La mano de los israelitas fue haciéndose cada vez más pesada sobre Yabín, rey de Canaán, hasta que acabaron con Yabín, rey de Canaán.
