Debbora and Barac deliver Israel from Jabin and Sisara, Jahal killeth Sisara.

 1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord after the death of Aod,
Addideruntque filii Israel facere malum in conspectu Domini post mortem Aod,

 2 And the Lord delivered them up into the hands of Jaban king of Chanaan, who reigned in Asor: and he had a general of his army named Sisara, and he dwelt in Haroseth of the Gentiles.
et tradidit illos Dominus in manus Jabin regis Chanaan, qui regnavit in Asor : habuitque ducem exercitus sui nomine Sisaram, ipse autem habitabat in Haroseth gentium.

 3 And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots set with scythes, and for twenty years had grievously oppressed them.
Clamaveruntque filii Israel ad Dominum : nongentos enim habebat falcatos currus, et per viginti annos vehementer oppresserat eos.

 4 And there was at that time Debbora a prophetess the wife of Lapidoth, who judged the people,
Erat autem Debbora prophetis uxor Lapidoth, quae judicabat populum in illo tempore.

 5 And she sat under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Rama and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for all judgment.
Et sedebat sub palma, quae nomine illius vocabatur, inter Rama et Bethel in monte Ephraim : ascendebantque ad eam filii Israel in omne judicium.

 6 And she sent and called Barac the son of Abinoem out of Cedes in Nephtali: and she said to him: The Lord God of Israel hath commanded thee: Go, and lead an army to mount Thabor, and thou shalt take with thee ten thousand fighting men of the children of Nephtali, and of the children of Zabulon:
Quae misit et vocavit Barac filium Abinoem de Cedes Nephthali : dixitque ad eum : Praecepit tibi Dominus Deus Israel : Vade, et duc exercitum in montem Thabor, tollesque tecum decem millia pugnatorum de filiis Nephthali, et de filiis Zabulon :

 7 And I will bring unto thee in the place of the torrent Cison, Sisara the general of Jabin's army, and his chariots, and all his multitude, and will deliver them into thy hand.
ego autem adducam ad te in loco torrentis Cison, Sisaram principem exercitus Jabin, et currus ejus, atque omnem multitudinem, et tradam eos in manu tua.

 8 And Barac said to her: If thou wilt come with me, I will go: if thou wilt not come with me, I will not go.
Dixitque ad eam Barac : Si venis mecum, vadam : si nolueris venire mecum, non pergam.

 9 She said to him: I will go indeed with thee, but at this time the victory shall not be attributed to thee, because Sisara shall be delivered into the hand of a woman. Debbora therefore arose, and went with Barac to Cedes.
Quae dixit ad eum : Ibo quidem tecum, sed in hac vice victoria non reputabitur tibi, quia in manu mulieris tradetur Sisara. Surrexit itaque Debbora, et perrexit cum Barac in Cedes.

 10 And he called unto him Zabulon and Nephtali, and went up with ten thousand fighting men, having Debbora in his company.
Qui, accitis Zabulon et Nephthali, ascendit cum decem millibus pugnatorum, habens Debboram in comitatu suo.

 11 Now Haber the Cinite had some time before departed from the rest of the Cinites his brethren the sons of Hobab, the kinsman of Moses: and had pitched his tents unto the valley which is called Sellnim, and was near Cedes.
Haber autem Cinaeus recesserat quondam a ceteris Cinaeis fratribus suis filiis Hobab, cognati Moysi : et tetenderat tabernacula usque ad vallem, quae vocatur Sennim, et erat juxta Cedes.

 12 And it was told Sisara, that Barac the son of Ablinoem was gone up to mount Thabor:
Nuntiatumque est Sisarae quod ascendisset Barac filius Abinoem in montem Thabor :

 13 And he gathered together his nine hundred chariots armed with scythes, and all his army from Haroseth of the Gentiles to the torrent Cison.
et congregavit nongentos falcatos currus, et omnem exercitum de Haroseth gentium ad torrentem Cison.

 14 And Debbora said to Barac: Arise, for this is the day wherein the Lord hath delivered Sisara into thy hands: behold he is thy leader. And Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand fighting men with him.
Dixitque Debbora ad Barac : Surge, haec est enim dies, in qua tradidit Dominus Sisaram in manus tuas : en ipse ductor est tuus. Descendit itaque Barac de monte Thabor, et decem millia pugnatorum cum eo.

 15 And the Lord struck a terror into Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his multitude, with the edge of the sword, at the sight of Barac, insomuch that Sisara leaping down from off his chariot, fled away on foot.
Perterruitque Dominus Sisaram, et omnes currus ejus, universamque multitudinem in ore gladii ad conspectum Barac : in tantum, ut Sisara de curru desiliens, pedibus fugeret,

 16 And Barac pursued after the fleeing chariots and the army unto Haroseth of the Gentiles, and all the multitude of the enemies was utterly destroyed.
et Barac persequeretur fugientes currus, et exercitum usque ad Haroseth gentium, et omnis hostium multitudo usque ad internecionem caderet.

 17 But Sisara fleeing came to the tent of Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Asor, and the house of Haber the Cinite.
Sisara autem fugiens pervenit ad tentorium Jahel uxoris Haber Cinaei. Erat enim pax inter Jabin regem Asor, et domum Haber Cinaei.

 18 And Jahel went forth to meet Sisara, and said to him: Come in to me, my lord, come in, fear not. He went in to her tent, and being covered by her with a cloak,
Egressa igitur Jahel in occursum Sisarae, dixit ad eum : Intra ad me, domine mi : intra, ne timeas. Qui ingressus tabernaculum ejus, et opertus ab ea pallio,

 19 Said to her: Give me, I beseech thee, a little water, for I am very thirsty. She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him.
dixit ad eam : Da mihi, obsecro, paululum aquae, quia sitio valde. Quae aperuit utrem lactis, et dedit ei bibere, et operuit illum.

 20 And Sisara said to her: Stand before the door of the tent, and when any shall come and inquire of thee, saying: Is there any man here? thou shalt say: There is none.
Dixitque Sisara ad eam : Sta ante ostium tabernaculi : et cum venerit aliquis interrogans te, et dicens : Numquid hic est aliquis? respondebis : Nullus est.

 21 So Jahel Haber's wife took a nail of the tent, and taking also a hammer: and going in softly, and with silence, she put the nail upon the temples of his head, and striking it With the hammer, drove it through his brain fast into the ground: and so passing from deep sleep to death, he fainted away and died.
Tulit itaque Jahel uxor Haber clavum tabernaculi, assumens pariter et malleum : et ingressa abscondite et cum silentio, posuit supra tempus capitis ejus clavum, percussumque malleo defixit in cerebrum usque ad terram : qui soporem morti consocians defecit, et mortuus est.

 22 And behold Barac came pursuing after Sisara: and Jahel went out to meet him, and said to him: Come, and I will shew thee, the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, he saw Sisara lying dead, and the nail fastened in his temples.
Et ecce Barac sequens Sisaram veniebat : egressaque Jahel in occursum ejus, dixit ei : Veni, et ostendam tibi virum quem quaeris. Qui cum intrasset ad eam, vidit Sisaram jacentem mortuum, et clavum infixum in tempore ejus.

 23 So God that day humbled Jabin the king of Chanaan before the children of Israel:
Humiliavit ergo Deus in die illo Jabin regem Chanaan coram filiis Israel :

 24 Who grew daily stronger, and with a mighty hand overpowered Jabin king of Chanaan, till they quite destroyed him.
qui crescebant quotidie, et forti manu opprimebant Jabin regem Chanaan, donec delerent eum.
