Judges 5
1 And Debbora and Barac son of Abineem sang in that day, saying,
Da sang Debora og Barak, Abinoams Søn, paa den Dag og sagde:
2 A revelation was made in Israel when the people were made willing: Praise you the Lord.
Lover Herren, fordi der er taget Hævn i Israel, der Folket var villigt dertil.
3 Hear, you kings, and listen, rulers: I will sing, it is I [who will sing] to the Lord, it is I, I will sing a psalm to the Lord the god of Israel.
Hører, I Konger! mærker, I Fyrster! jeg vil synge for Herren; Herren, Israels Gud, vil jeg lovsynge.
4 O Lord, in your going forth on Seir, when you went forth out of the land of Edom, the earth quaked and the heaven dropped dews, and the clouds dropped water.
Herre! der du uddrog fra Seir, der du gik frem fra Edoms Mark, da bævede Jorden, ogsaa Himlene dryppede, ja Skyerne dryppede med Vand.
5 The mountains were shaken before the face of the Lord Eloi, this Sina before the face of the Lord God of Israel.
Bjergene fløde hen for Herrens Ansigt, Sinai selv, for Herrens, Israels Guds, Ansigt.
6 In the days of Samegar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, they deserted the ways, and went in by-ways; they went in crooked paths.
I Samgars, Anaths Søns, Dage, i Jaels Dage vare Stierne tomme; og de vejfarende gik ad krogede Stier.
7 The mighty men in Israel failed, they failed until Debbora arose, until she arose a mother in Israel.
Landsbyerne i Israel vare tomme, de vare tomme, indtil jeg Debora stod frem, indtil jeg stod frem, en Moder i Israel.
8 They chose new gods; then the cities of rulers fought; there was not a shield or spear seen amongst forty thousand in Israel.
Da man udvalgte nye Guder, da var der Krig i Portene; der blev ikke set Skjold eller Spyd iblandt fyrretyve Tusinde i Israel.
9 My heart [inclines] to the orders given in Israel; you that are willing amongst the people, bless the Lord.
Mit Hjerte slaar for Israels Høvdinger, de som beviste sig villige iblandt Folket; lover Herren!
10 You that mount a she-ass at noon-day, you that sit on the judgement-seat, and walk by the roads of them that sit in judgement by the way; declare
I, som ride paa hvide Aseninder, I, som sidde paa Tæpper, og I, som gaa paa Vejen, taler frit!
11 [you that are delivered] from the noise of disturbers amongst the drawers of water; there shall they relate righteous acts: O Lord, increase righteous acts in Israel: then the people of the Lord went down to the cities.
Skytternes Bøst lyder fra de Steder, hvor man drager Vand, der prise de Herrens Retfærdighed, Retfærdighed imod hans Landsbyer i Israel. Da steg Herrens Folk ned til Portene.
12 Awake, awake, Debbora; awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barac, and lead your captivity captive, son of Abineem.
Vaagn op, vaagn op, Debora, vaagn op, vaagn op, istem en Sang! gør dig rede, Barak, og før dine Fanger fangne bort, du Abinoams Søn!
13 Then went down the remnant to the strong, the people of the Lord went down for him amongst the mighty ones from me.
Da drog en Levning af de herlige, af Folket ned; Herren drog ned for mig blandt de vældige.
14 Ephraim rooted them out in Amalec, behind you was Benjamin amongst your people: the inhabitants of Machir came down with me searching out the enemy, and from Zabulon came they that draw with the scribe's pen of record.
De af Efraim, som havde Bod i Amalek, stege ned efter dig Benjamin med dine Folk; af Makir nedstege Høvdinger og af Sebulon de, som føre Herskerstaven.
15 And princess in Issachar were with Debbora and Barac, thus she sent Barac on his feet in the valleys into the portions of Ruben; great [pangs] reached to the heart.
Ogsaa var der Fyrster af Isaskar med Debora, og som Isaskar saa Barak, i Dalen styrtede han frem! Ved Rubens Vandbække vare Hjertets Betænkninger store.
16 Why did they sit between the sheepfolds to hear the bleating of flocks for the divisions of Ruben? [there were] great searchings of heart.
Hvorfor blev du imellem Faarestierne, at høre paa Hyrdefløjten? medens Ruben blev ved sine Vandbække, var der store Ransagninger i Hjertet.
17 Galaad [is] on the other side of Jordan where he pitched his tents; and why does Dan remain in ships? Aser sat down on the sea-coasts, and he will tabernacle at his ports.
Gilead blev boende paa hin Side Jordanen; og hvorfor blev Dan ved Skibene? Aser blev ved Havets Bred og blev boende ved sine Havbugter.
18 The people Zabulon exposed their soul to death, and Nephthali came to the high places of their land.
Sebulon var et Folk, som agtede sit Liv ringe indtil Døden, i lige Maade Nafthali, paa Markens høje Steder.
19 Kings set themselves in array, then the kings of Chanaan fought in Thanaach at the water of Mageddo; they took no gift of money.
Kongerne kom, de strede; da strede Kanaans Konger udi Thaanak ved Megiddo Vand; de fik ingen Vinding af Sølv.
20 The stars from heaven set themselves in array, they set themselves [to fight] with Sisara out of their paths.
Fra Himmelen stredes der; Stjernerne fra deres høje Baner strede mod Sisera.
21 The brook of Kison swept them away, the ancient brook, the brook Kison: my mighty soul will trample him down.
Bækken Kison bortfejede dem, de gamles Bæk, Bækken Kison; træd frem, min Sjæl, med Styrke!
22 When the hoofs of the horse were entangled, his mighty ones earnestly hasted
Da trampede Hestenes Hove ved deres Heltes jagende, jagende Fart.
23 to curse Meroz: Curse you [it], said the angel of the Lord; cursed [is] every one that dwells in it, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to his help amongst the mighty.
Forbander Meros, sagde Herrens Engel, forbander, forbander dens Indbyggere, fordi de ikke kom Herren til Hjælp, Herren til Hjælp iblandt de vældige.
24 Blessed amongst women be Jael wife of Chaber the Kenite; let her be blessed above women in tents.
Velsignes skal Jael, Keniteren Hebers Hustru, fremfor Kvinderne; velsignes skal hun fremfor Kvinderne i noget Paulun.
25 He asked for water, she gave him milk in a dish; she brought butter of princes.
Han begærede Vand, hun gav Mælk; hun bar Fløde frem i de herliges Skaal.
26 She stretched forth her left hand to the nail, and her right to the hand workman's hammer, and she struck Sisara with it, she nailed through his head and struck him; she nailed through his temples.
Sin Haand rakte hun ud efter Naglen og sin højre Haand efter Smedehammeren; og hun slog Sisera, sønderslog hans Hoved og knuste og igennemstak hans Tinding.
27 He rolled down between her feet; he fell and lay between her feet; he bowed and fell: where he bowed, there he fell dead.
Imellem hendes Fødder krummede han sig, faldt, laa; imellem hendes Fødder krummede han sig, faldt; hvor han krummede sig, der faldt han og var tilintetgjort.
28 The mother of Sisara looked down through the window out of the loophole, [saying], Why was his chariot ashamed? why did the wheels of his chariots wait?
Siseras Moder saa ud af Vinduet, og skreg overlydt igennem Sprinkelværket: Hvi tøver hans Vogn med at komme? hvi blive hans Vognhjul tilbage?
29 Her wise ladies answered her, and she returned answers to herself, [saying],
De vise iblandt hendes Fyrstinder svarede hende, ogsaa svarede hun sig selv paa sine Ord:
30 Will they not find him dividing the spoil? he will surely be gracious to every man: [there are] spoils of dyed garments for Sisara, spoils of various dyed garments, dyed embroidered garments, they [are] the spoils for his neck.
Skulde de ikke finde, ja uddele til Bytte en Pige, to Piger for hver Mand? for Sisera brogede Klæder til Bytte, brogede, stukne Klæder til Bytte? brogede, stukne paa begge Sider om Halsen, til Bytte?
31 Thus let all your enemies perish, O Lord: and they that love him shall be as the going forth of the sun in his strength. And the land had rest forty years.
Saa skulle, Herre! alle dine Fjender omkomme, men de, som elske ham, skulle være ligesom Solen, der gaar frem i sin Kraft. — Og Landet havde Ro fyrretyve Aar.
