Dommer 4
1 Men da Ehud var død, blev Israelitterne ved at gøre, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne.
And the sons of Israel add to do evil in the eyes of YHWH when Ehud is dead,
2 Derfor gav han dem til Pris, for Kana'anæerkongen Jabin, som herskede i Hazor; hans Hærfører var Sisera, som boede i Harosjet-Haggojim.
and YHWH sells them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who has reigned in Hazor, and Sisera [is] the head of his host, and he is dwelling in Harosheth of the nations;
3 Da råbte Israelitterne til HERREN. Thi Jabin havde 900 Jernvogne, og han trængte Israelitterne hårdt i tyve År.
and the sons of Israel cry to YHWH, for he has nine hundred chariots of iron, and he has oppressed the sons of Israel mightily [for] twenty years.
4 Profetinden Debora, Lappidots Hustru, var på den Tid Dommer i Israel;
And Deborah, a woman, a prophetess, wife of Lapidoth, she is judging Israel at that time,
5 hun sad under Deborapalmen imellem Rama og Betel i Efraims Bjerge, og Israelitterne drog op til hende med deres Retstrætter.
and she is dwelling under the palm-tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Beth-El, in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the sons of Israel go up to her for judgment.
6 Hun sendte nu Bud efter Barak, Abinoams Søn fra Kedesj i Naftali, og sagde til ham: "Har ikke HERREN, Israels Gud, budt: Bryd op, drag hen på Tabors Bjerg og tag 10000 Mand af Naftali og Zebulon med dig;
And she sends and calls for Barak son of Abinoam, out of Kedesh-Naphtali, and says to him, “Has YHWH, God of Israel, not commanded? Go, and you have drawn toward Mount Tabor, and have taken with you ten thousand men, out of the sons of Naphtali, and out of the sons of Zebulun,
7 så skal jeg drage Jabins Hærfører Sisera med hans Vogne og Hærstyrke hen til dig ved Kisjonbækken og give ham i din Hånd!"
and I have drawn to you, to the Brook of Kishon, Sisera, head of the host of Jabin, and his chariot, and his multitude, and have given him into your hand.”
8 Barak svarede hende: "Hvis du vil gå med, vil jeg gå; men hvis du ikke går med, går jeg ikke!"
And Barak says to her, “If you go with me, then I have gone; and if you do not go with me, I do not go”;
9 Da sagde hun: "Vel, jeg går med, men så får du ikke Æren af den Færd, du begiver dig ud på, thi HERREN vil overgive Sisera i en Kvindes Hånd!" Så brød Debora op og drog af Sted til Kedesj med Barak.
and she says, “I certainly go with you; only, surely your glory is not on the way which you are going, for YHWH sells Sisera into the hand of a woman”; and Deborah rises and goes with Barak to Kedesh.
10 Barak stævnede nu Zebulon og Naftali sammen i Kedesj, og 10000 Mand fulgte med ham derop; også Debora gik med.
And Barak calls Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and he goes up—ten thousand men [are] at his feet—and Deborah goes up with him.
11 Men Keniten Heber havde skilt sig fra Keniterne, Moses's Svigerfader Hobabs Sønner, og slået Telt i Egnen hen imod Elon-Beza'anannim ved Kedesj.
And Heber the Kenite has been separated from the Kenite, from the sons of Hobab father-in-law of Moses, and he stretches out his tent to the oak in Zaanaim, which [is] by Kedesh.
12 Da Sisera fik Melding om, at Barak, Abinoams Søn, var draget op på Tabors Bjerg,
And they declare to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam has gone up to Mount Tabor,
13 stævnede han alle sine Stridsvogne, 900 jernbeslagne Vogne, og hele sin Krigsstyrke fra Harosjet Haggojim til Kisjonbækken.
and Sisera calls all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who [are] with him, from Harosheth of the nations, to the Brook of Kishon.
14 Da sagde Debora til Barak: "Bryd nu op! Thi det er i Dag. HERREN vil give Sisera i din Hånd. Er HERREN ikke draget foran dig?" Barak steg da ned fra Tabors Bjerg, fulgt af de 10000 Mand.
And Deborah says to Barak, “Rise, for this [is] the day in which YHWH has given Sisera into your hand; has YHWH not gone out before you?” And Barak goes down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
15 Og foran Barak bragte HERREN Uorden iblandt alle Siseras Stridsvogne og i hele hans Hær. Sisera sprang af sin Vogn og flygtede til Fods;
And YHWH destroys Sisera, and all the chariots, and all the camp, by the mouth of the sword, before Barak, and Sisera comes down from off the chariot, and flees on his feet.
16 men Barak satte efter Vognene og Hæren lige til Harosjet Haggojim, og hele Siseras Hær faldt for Sværdet, ikke een blev tilbage.
And Barak has pursued after the chariots and after the camp, to Harosheth of the nations, and all the camp of Sisera falls by the mouth of the sword—there has not been left even one.
17 Sisera var imidlertid flygtet til Fods til Keniten Hebers Hustru Jaels Telt, thi der var Fred imellem Kong Jabin af Hazor og Keniten Hebers Slægt.
And Sisera has fled on his feet to the tent of Jael wife of Heber the Kenite, for [there is] peace between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite;
18 Da gik Jael Sisera i Møde og sagde til ham: "Tag dog ind hos mig, Herre, du bar intet at frygte!" Han tog da ind i Teltet hos hende, og hun dækkede ham til med et Tæppe.
and Jael goes out to meet Sisera and says to him, “Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me, do not fear”; and he turns aside to her, into the tent, and she covers him with a mantle.
19 Og han sagde til hende: "Giv mig lidt Vand at drikke, thi jeg er tørstig!" Da åbnede hun Mælkesækken og gav ham at drikke og dækkede ham atter til.
And he says to her, “Please give me a little water to drink, for I am thirsty”; and she opens the bottle of milk, and gives him to drink, and covers him.
20 Så sagde han til hende: "Stil dig hen i Teltdøren, og hvis der kommer en og spørger, om der er nogen herinde, så sig nej!"
And he says to her, “Stand at the opening of the tent, and it has been, if any comes in, and has asked you and said, Is there a man here? That you have said, There is not.”
21 Men Jael, Hebers Hustru, greb en Teltpæl og tog en Hammer i Hånden, listede sig ind til ham og slog Pælen igennem hans Tinding, så den trængte ned i Jorden; thi han var faldet i dyb Søvn, træt som han var; således døde han.
And Jael wife of Heber takes the pin of the tent, and takes the hammer in her hand, and goes to him gently, and strikes the pin into his temples, and it fastens in the earth—and he has been fast asleep, and is weary—and he dies.
22 Og se, Barak, søm forfulgte Sisera, kom forbi. Da gik Jael ham i Møde og sagde til ham: "Kom, jeg skal vise dig den Mand, du søger efter!" Så kom han ind til hende. Og se, der lå Sisera død med Teltpælen gennem Tindingen.
And behold, Barak is pursuing Sisera, and Jael comes out to meet him, and says to him, “Come, and I show you the man whom you are seeking”; and he comes to her, and behold, Sisera is fallen—dead, and the pin [is] in his temples.
23 Således lod Gud på den Dag Kana'anæerkongen Jabin bukke under for Israelitterne;
And God humbles Jabin king of Canaan before the sons of Israel on that day,
24 og Israelitternes Hånd faldt hårdere og hårdere på Kana'anæerkongen Jabin, til de fik ham tilintetgjort.
and the hand of the sons of Israel goes, going on and becoming hard on Jabin king of Canaan, until they have cut off Jabin king of Canaan.
