11 Na Kenini Heber atwe ne ho afiri Kenifoɔ a wɔyɛ Mose akonta Hobab asefoɔ no ho, akɔsi ne ntomadan wɔ dua kɛseɛ bi a ɛsi Saananim a ɛbɛn Kedes no ho.

13 ɔboaboaa ne nnadeɛ nteaseɛnam aha nkron ano ne nʼakofoɔ nyinaa, na wɔtu tene firii Haroset-Hagoyim kɔɔ Asubɔnten Kison ho.
14 Afei, Debora ka kyerɛɛ Barak sɛ, “Yɛ ahoboa! Ɛnnɛ ne ɛda a Awurade de Sisera so nkonimdie bɛma wo, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade atu sa adi wʼanim.” Enti, Barak dii nʼakodɔm ɔpedu anim sianee Tabor bepɔ no kɔkoeɛ.
15 Ɛberɛ a Barak to hyɛɛ wɔn so no, Awurade maa huboa bɔɔ Sisera, ne nteaseɛnamkafoɔ ne nʼakofoɔ no nyinaa. Ɛbaa saa no, Sisera huri firii ne teaseɛnam mu sii fam dwaneeɛ.
16 Barak nteaseɛnam ne ɔtamfoɔ no akodɔm no ara kɔsii Haroset-Hagoyim, kunkumm Sisera akofoɔ no nyinaa. Anka wɔn mu baako mpo.

20 Sisera ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Gyina ntomadan no ano na sɛ obi bɛbisa wo sɛ obi wɔ ha a, ka sɛ dabi.”
21 Nanso, ɔbrɛ enti, Sisera faa mu daeɛ. Yael, a ɔyɛ Heber yere, yɛɛ brɛoo kɔɔ ne so. Ɔde hamre ne pɛɛwa na ɛkɔeɛ. Ɔde pɛɛwa no sii ne moma so de hama no bɔɔ so, kɔsii sɛ ɛhwiree ne moma mu sii fam ma ɔwuiɛ.
