Suci 4
1 Poslije smrti Ehudove Izraelci su opet stali činiti što Jahvi nije po volji
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord after the death of Aod,
2 i Jahve ih predade u ruke Jabinu, kanaanskom kralju koji je vladao u Hasoru. Vojskovođa vojsci njegovoj bijaše Sisera, koji je živio u Harošetu Poganskom.
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.
3 Tad Izraelci zavapiše Jahvi. Jer Jabin imaše devet stotina željeznih bojnih kola i teško je tlačio Izraelce dvadeset godina.
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.
4 U to vrijeme Izraelu je sudila proročica Debora, žena Lapidotova.
And there was at that time Debbora a prophetess the wife of Lapidoth, who judged the people,
5 Živjela je pod Deborinom palmom između Rame i Betela u Efrajimovoj gori i k njoj su dolazili Izraelci da presuđuje u njihovim sporovima.
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.
6 Ona dozva Baraka, sina Abinoamova, iz Naftalijeva Kedeša i reče mu: “Evo što ti Jahve, Bog Izraelov, zapovijeda: 'Idi, kreni na goru Tabor i uzmi sa sobom deset tisuća ljudi između Naftalijevih i Zebulunovih sinova.
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:
7 Ja ću k tebi na Kišonski potok privući Siseru, vojskovođu Jabinove vojske, s njegovim bojnim kolima i svim ratnicima te ću ga predati u tvoje ruke.'”
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.
8 Barak joj odgovori: “Ako ti pođeš sa mnom, ići ću; ako li ne pođeš sa mnom, ne idem.”
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.
9 “Idem s tobom”, reče mu ona, “ali na putu kojim ćeš poći slava neće tebi pripasti jer će Jahve ženi predati u ruke Siseru.” Tada Debora ustane i pođe s Barakom u Kedeš.
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.
10 Onamo je Barak pozvao Zebuluna i Naftalija. Deset tisuća ljudi pođe za njim, a išla je s njim i Debora.
And he called unto him Zabulon and Nepbtali, and went up with ten thousand fighting men, having Debbora in his company.
11 Heber Kenijac bijaše se odvojio od Kajina, jednoga od sinova Hababa, tasta Mojsijeva; razapeo je svoj šator kod Hrasta u Saananimu, nedaleko od Kedeša.
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.
12 Javiše Siseri da je Barak, sin Abinoamov, izašao na goru Tabor.
And it was told Sisara, that Barac the son of Ablinoem was gone up to mount Thabor:
13 Nato Sisera sabra sva svoja kola, devet stotina željeznih kola, i sve ljude koje je doveo od Harošeta Poganskog do Kišonskog potoka.
And he gathered together his nine hundred chariots armed with scythes, and all his army from Haroseth of the Gentiles to the torrent Cison.
14 Debora reče Baraku: “Ustani, evo dana kada će Jahve predati Siseru u tvoje ruke! Sam Jahve ide pred tobom!” I Barak siđe s gore Tabora sa deset tisuća ljudi za sobom.
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.
15 Jahve zastraši Siseru, sva njegova kola i čitavu njegovu vojsku, koja naže u bijeg pred mačem Barakovim. Sisera siđe sa svojih kola i pobježe pješice.
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.
16 Barak je gonio kola i vojsku sve do Harošeta Poganskog. Sva je Siserina vojska pala od oštrog mača i nijedan čovjek nije umakao.
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.
17 Sisera je dotle bježao pješice prema šatoru Jaele, žene Hebera Kenijca, jer između Jabina, kralja hasorskog, i kuće Hebera Kenijca bijaše mir.
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.
18 Jaela iziđe Siseri u susret i reče mu: “Zaustavi se, gospodaru, svrati se k meni. Ne boj se ničega!” On svrati k njoj pod šator, a ona ga pokri pokrivačem.
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,
19 On joj reče: “Daj mi malo vode jer sam žedan.” Ona otvori mijeh s mlijekom, napoji ga i opet ga pokri.
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.
20 “Stani na ulazu u šator”, reče joj on, “pa ako tko naiđe i zapita te: 'Ima li tu koga?' ti odgovori: 'Nema!'”
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.
21 A Jaela, žena Heberova, uze šatorski klin i čekić u ruke, tiho mu se približi i zabi mu klin kroza sljepoočice tako da se zario u zemlju. On od iscrpljenosti bijaše tvrdo zaspao i tako umrije.
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.
22 I gle, dođe Barak progoneći Siseru. Jaela iziđe preda nj i reče mu: “Dođi da ti pokažem čovjeka koga tražiš.” On uđe k njoj, i gle - Sisera ležaše mrtav, s klinom u sljepoočici.
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, be saw Sisara lying dead, and the nail fastened in his temples.
23 Tako je Bog u onaj dan ponizio Jabina, kralja kanaanskog, pred Izraelcima.
So God that day humbled Jabin the king of Chanaan before the children of Israel:
24 Ruka Izraelaca postajaše sve teža Jabinu, kralju kanaanskom, dok ga nije napokon zatrla.
Who grew daily stronger, and with a mighty hand overpowered Jabin king of Chanaan, till they quite destroyed him.
