< Judges 4 >

1 And the sons of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, when Ehud was dead.
Poslije smrti Ehudove Izraelci su opet stali činiti što Jahvi nije po volji
2 And Jehovah sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan who reigned in Hazor, the captain of whose army was Sisera who dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
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.
3 And the sons of Israel cried to Jehovah, for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he mightily oppressed the sons of Israel twenty years.
Tad Izraelci zavapiše Jahvi. Jer Jabin imaše devet stotina željeznih bojnih kola i teško je tlačio Izraelce dvadeset godina.
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
U to vrijeme Izraelu je sudila proročica Debora, žena Lapidotova.
5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the sons of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Živjela je pod Deborinom palmom između Rame i Betela u Efrajimovoj gori i k njoj su dolazili Izraelci da presuđuje u njihovim sporovima.
6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Has not Jehovah, the God of Israel, commanded, saying, Go and approach to mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun?
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.
7 And I will draw Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, to thee, to the river Kishon, with his chariots and his multitude, and I will deliver him into thy hand.
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.'”
8 And Barak said to her, If thou will go with me, then I will go, but if thou will not go with me, I will not go.
Barak joj odgovori: “Ako ti pođeš sa mnom, ići ću; ako li ne pođeš sa mnom, ne idem.”
9 And she said, I will surely go with thee. Notwithstanding, the journey that thou take shall not be for thine honor, for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
“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.
10 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh. And there went up ten thousand men at his feet, and Deborah went up with him.
Onamo je Barak pozvao Zebuluna i Naftalija. Deset tisuća ljudi pođe za njim, a išla je s njim i Debora.
11 Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the sons of Hobab the brother-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
Heber Kenijac bijaše se odvojio od Kajina, jednoga od sinova Hababa, tasta Mojsijeva; razapeo je svoj šator kod Hrasta u Saananimu, nedaleko od Kedeša.
12 And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
Javiše Siseri da je Barak, sin Abinoamov, izašao na goru Tabor.
13 And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles, to the river Kishon.
Nato Sisera sabra sva svoja kola, devet stotina željeznih kola, i sve ljude koje je doveo od Harošeta Poganskog do Kišonskog potoka.
14 And Deborah said to Barak, Up, for this is the day in which Jehovah has delivered Sisera into thy hand. Has not Jehovah gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
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.
15 And Jehovah discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak. And Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
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.
16 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, to Harosheth of the Gentiles. And all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword. There was not a man left.
Barak je gonio kola i vojsku sve do Harošeta Poganskog. Sva je Siserina vojska pala od oštrog mača i nijedan čovjek nije umakao.
17 However Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
Sisera je dotle bježao pješice prema šatoru Jaele, žene Hebera Kenijca, jer između Jabina, kralja hasorskog, i kuće Hebera Kenijca bijaše mir.
18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And he turned in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
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.
19 And he said to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
On joj reče: “Daj mi malo vode jer sam žedan.” Ona otvori mijeh s mlijekom, napoji ga i opet ga pokri.
20 And he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man comes and inquires of thee, and says, Is there any man here? that thou shall say, No.
“Stani na ulazu u šator”, reče joj on, “pa ako tko naiđe i zapita te: 'Ima li tu koga?' ti odgovori: 'Nema!'”
21 Then Jael Heber's wife took a tent-pin, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground, for he was in a deep sleep, so he fainted and died.
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.
22 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seek. And he came to her, and, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent-pin was in his temples.
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.
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the sons of Israel.
Tako je Bog u onaj dan ponizio Jabina, kralja kanaanskog, pred Izraelcima.
24 And the hand of the sons of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
Ruka Izraelaca postajaše sve teža Jabinu, kralju kanaanskom, dok ga nije napokon zatrla.
