Sudcov 4
1 Po smrti pak Ahoda činili opět synové Izraelští to, což jest zlého před očima Hospodinovýma.
After Ehud died, the Israelis again started doing things Yahweh said were very evil.
2 I vydal je Hospodin v ruce Jabína krále Kananejského, kterýž kraloval v Azor; (a kníže vojska jeho byl Zizara), sám pak bydlil v Haroset pohanském.
So he allowed the army of Jabin, one of the kings of Canaan land, who ruled in Hazor [city], to conquer the Israelis. The commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-Haggoyim.
3 Tedy volali synové Izraelští k Hospodinu; nebo devět set vozů železných měl, a on násilně ssužoval Izraele za dvadceti let.
Sisera’s [army] had 900 chariots. For 20 years he oppressed the Israelis. Then they pleaded to Yahweh to help them.
4 Debora pak žena prorokyně, manželka Lapidotova, soudila lid Izraelský toho času.
At that time Deborah, who was the wife of Lappidoth, was a prophetess who had become the leader in Israel.
5 (A bydlila Debora pod palmou, mezi Ráma a mezi Bethel na hoře Efraim), i chodili k ní synové Izraelští k soudu.
She would sit under her palm tree at a place between Ramah and Bethel, in the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim lived, and people would come to her and ask her to settle disputes between them.
6 Kterážto poslavši, povolala Baráka, syna Abinoemova, z Kádes Neftalímova, a řekla jemu: Zdaližť nerozkázal Hospodin Bůh Izraelský: Jdi, a shromáždě lid na horu Tábor, vezmi s sebou deset tisíc mužů z synů Neftalím a z synů Zabulon.
One day she summoned Barak, the son of Abinoam, when he was in Kedesh, in the area where the descendants of Naphtali lived. She said to him, “This is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship, is commanding you to do: ‘Take with you 1,000 men, some from the descendants of Naphtali and some from the descendants of Zebulun, and lead them to Tabor Mountain.
7 Nebo přitáhnu k tobě ku potoku Císon Zizaru kníže vojska Jabínova, a vozy jeho i množství jeho, a dám jej v ruku tvou.
Yahweh will lure Sisera, the commander of King Jabin’s army, to come with his chariots and his army, to the Kishon River, [a few miles away]. I will enable your men to defeat them there.’”
8 I řekl jí Barák: Půjdeš-li se mnou, půjdu; pakli nepůjdeš se mnou, nepůjdu.
Barak replied, “I will go only if you go with me.”
9 Kteráž odpověděla: Jáť zajisté půjdu s tebou, ale nebudeť s slávou tvou cesta, kterouž půjdeš, nebo v ruku ženy dá Hospodin Zizaru. Tedy vstavši Debora, šla s Barákem do Kádes.
She replied, “Okay, I will go with you. But because that is what you have decided to do, Yahweh will enable a woman to defeat Sisera, and the result will be that (you will not be honored/people will not honor you) [for doing that].”
10 Svolav pak Barák Zabulonské a Neftalímské do Kádes, vyvedl za sebou deset tisíc mužů; a šla s ním i Debora.
So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh. There he summoned men from Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men came to him, and then they went together with Deborah [to Tabor Mountain].
11 Heber pak Cinejský oddělil se od Kaina, od synů Chobab, tchána Mojžíšova, a rozbil stany své až k Elon v Sananim, jenž jest v Kádes.
At that time Heber, one of the descendants of the Ken people-group, had moved [with his wife Jael] from the area where that group lived, and set up his tent near the big oak tree at Zaanannim, near Kedesh. Heber was a descendant of Moses’ brother-in-law Hobab.
12 Oznámeno pak bylo Zizarovi, že vytáhl Barák syn Abinoemův na horu Tábor.
Someone told Sisera that Barak had gone up on Tabor Mountain [with an army].
13 Protož shromáždil Zizara všecky vozy své, devět set vozů železných, a všecken lid, kterýž měl s sebou z Haroset pohanského, ku potoku Císon.
So he gathered his troops with their 900 chariots, and they marched from Harosheth-Haggoyim to the Kishon River.
14 I řekla Debora Barákovi: Vstaň, nebo tento jest den, v němž dal Hospodin Zizaru v ruku tvou. Zdali Hospodin nevyšel před tebou? I sstoupil Barák s hory Tábor, a deset tisíc mužů za ním.
Then Deborah said to Barak, “Get ready! This is the day that Yahweh will enable your [army] to defeat the army of Sisera. Yahweh is going ahead of you!” So Barak led his men as they descended from Tabor Mountain.
15 A porazil Hospodin Zizaru a všecky ty vozy, i všecka ta vojska ostrostí meče před Barákem; a sskočiv Zizara s vozu, utíkal pěšky.
As they advanced, Yahweh caused Sisera and all his chariots and his army to have great difficulty maneuvering/moving around. So Sisera jumped down from his chariot and ran away.
16 Ale Barák honil ty vozy a vojsko až do Haroset pohanského; i padlo všecko vojsko Zizarovo od ostrosti meče, tak že nezůstalo ani jednoho.
But Barak and his men pursued the other chariots and the enemy soldiers as far as Harosheth-Haggoyim. They killed all of the men in Sisera’s army. Not one man survived.
17 Zizara pak utíkal pěšky k stanu Jáhel, manželky Hebera Cinejského; nebo pokoj byl mezi Jabínem králem Azor a mezi čeledí Hebera Cinejského.
But Sisera ran to Jael’s tent. He did that because [his boss], King Jabin of Hazor [city], was a good friend of [Jael’s husband] Heber.
18 I vyšedši Jáhel v cestu Zizarovi, řekla jemu: Uchyl se, pane můj, uchyl se ke mně, neboj se. I uchýlil se k ní do stanu, a přistřela jej huní.
Jael went out to greet Sisera. She said to him, “Sir, come into my tent! Do not be afraid!” So he went into the tent [and lay down], and she covered him with a blanket.
19 Kterýž řekl jí: Dej mi, prosím, píti maličko vody, nebo žízním. A otevřevši nádobu mléčnou, dala mu píti a přikryla ho.
He said to her, “I’m thirsty; can you give me some water?” So she opened a leather container of milk, and gave him a drink. Then she covered him with the blanket again.
20 Řekl také jí: Stůj u dveří stanu, a při-šel-li by kdo, a ptal se tebe, řka: Jest-li zde kdo? odpovíš: Není.
He said to her, “Stand in the entrance of the tent. If someone comes and asks ‘Is anyone else here?’, say ‘No.’”
21 Potom vzala Jáhel manželka Heberova hřeb od stanu, vzala též kladivo v ruku svou, a všedši k němu tiše, vrazila hřeb do židovin jeho, až uvázl v zemi; (nebo ustav, tvrdě byl usnul), a tak umřel.
Sisera was very exhausted, so he soon was asleep. While he was sleeping, Jael crept quietly to him, holding a hammer and a tent peg. She pounded the peg into his skull, and all the way through his head into the ground, and he died.
22 A aj, Barák honil Zizaru. I vyšla Jáhel vstříc jemu, a řekla mu: Poď, a ukážiť muže, kteréhož hledáš. I všel k ní, a aj, Zizara ležel mrtvý na zemi, a hřeb v židovinách jeho.
When Barak passed by Jael’s tent to look for Sisera, she went out to greet him. She said, “Come in, and I will show you the man you are searching for!” So he followed her into the tent, and he saw Sisera lying there, dead, with the tent peg through his head.
23 A tak ponížil Bůh toho dne Jabína krále Kananejského před syny Izraelskými.
On that day God enabled the Israelis to defeat [the army of] Jabin, the king of the people of Canaan.
24 I dotírala ruka synů Izraelských vždy více, a silila se proti Jabínovi králi Kananejskému, až i vyhladili téhož Jabína krále Kananejského.
From that time, the Israeli people continued to become stronger, and [the army of] King Jabin continued to become weaker. Finally the Israelis were able to completely subdue the people ruled by the king of Canaan.
