< Judges 4 >

1 But after the death of Ehud, the sons of Israel resumed doing evil in the sight of the Lord.
A po smrti Aodovoj opet sinovi Izrailjevi èiniše što je zlo pred Gospodom.
2 And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Jabin, the king of Canaan, who reigned at Hazor. And he had a commander of his army named Sisera, but this man lived at Harosheth of the Gentiles.
I Gospod ih dade u ruke Javinu caru Hananskom, koji vladaše u Asoru, a vojsci njegovoj bješe vojvoda Sisara, koji življaše u Arosetu neznabožaèkom.
3 And the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord. For he had nine hundred chariots with scythes, and he vehemently oppressed them for twenty years.
I sinovi Izrailjevi vapiše ka Gospodu; jer on imaše devet stotina gvozdenijeh kola, i veoma pritješnjavaše sinove Izrailjeve dvadeset godina.
4 Now there was a prophetess, Deborah, the wife of Lappidoth, who judged the people in that time.
U to vrijeme Devora proroèica, žena Lafidotova, suðaše Izrailju.
5 And she was sitting under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Ramah and Bethel, on Mount Ephraim. And the sons of Israel went up to her for every judgment.
I Devora stanovaše pod palmom izmeðu Rame i Vetilja u gori Jefremovoj, i dolažahu k njoj sinovi Izrailjevi na sud.
6 And she sent and called Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh of Naphtali. And she said to him: “The Lord, the God of Israel, instructs you: ‘Go and lead an army to Mount Tabor, and you shall take with you ten thousand fighting men from the sons of Naphtali and from the sons of Zebulun.
A ona poslavši dozva Varaka sina Avinejemova iz Kedesa Neftalimova, i reèe mu: nije li zapovjedio Gospod Bog Izrailjev: idi, skupi narod na goru Tavor, i uzmi sa sobom deset tisuæa ljudi izmeðu sinova Neftalimovijeh i sinova Zavulonovijeh?
7 Then I will lead to you, at the place of the torrent Kishon, Sisera, the leader of the army of Jabin, with his chariots and the entire multitude. And I will deliver them into your hand.’”
Jer æu dovesti k tebi na potok Kison Sisaru vojvodu Javinova i kola njegova i ljudstvo njegovo, i predaæu ga tebi u ruke.
8 And Barak said to her: “If you will come with me, I will go. If you are not willing to come with me, I will not go.”
A Varak joj reèe: ako æeš ti iæi sa mnom, iæi æu; ako li neæeš iæi sa mnom, neæu iæi.
9 She said to him: “Indeed, I will go with you. But due to this change, the victory shall not be reputed to you. And so Sisera will be delivered into the hand of a woman.” Therefore, Deborah rose up, and she traveled with Barak to Kedesh.
A ona reèe: ja æu iæi s tobom, ali neæeš imati slave na putu kojim æeš iæi; jer æe ženi u ruku dati Gospod Sisaru. I ustavši Devora otide s Varakom u Kedes.
10 And he, summoning Zebulun and Naphtali, ascended with ten thousand fighting men, having Deborah in his company.
I Varak sazvavši sinove Zavulonove i Neftalimove u Kedes, povede za sobom deset tisuæa ljudi; i Devora iðaše s njim.
11 Now Heber, the Kenite, had previously withdrawn from the rest of the Kenites, his brothers, the sons of Hobab, the relative of Moses. And he had pitched his tents as far as the valley that is called Zaanannim, which was near Kedesh.
A Ever Kenejin bješe se odvojio od Keneja, od sinova Ovava tasta Mojsijeva, i bješe razapeo svoj šator kod hrastova Zanajimskih, a to je kod Kedesa.
12 And it was reported to Sisera that Barak, the son of Abinoam, had ascended to Mount Tabor.
I javiše Sisari da je izašao Varak sin Avinejemov na goru Tavor.
13 And he gathered together the nine hundred chariots with scythes, and the entire army, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to the torrent Kishon.
I Sisara skupi sva kola svoja, devet stotina kola gvozdenijeh, i sav narod koji bijaše s njim od Aroseta neznabožaèkoga do potoka Kisona.
14 And Deborah said to Barak: “Rise up. For this is the day on which the Lord delivers Sisera into your hands. For he is your commander.” And so, Barak descended from Mount Tabor, and the ten thousand fighting men with him.
Tada reèe Devora Varaku: ustani, jer je ovo dan, u koji ti dade Gospod Sisaru u ruke. Ne ide li Gospod pred tobom? I Varak siðe s gore Tavora, i deset tisuæa ljudi za njim.
15 And the Lord struck Sisera with great fear, and all his chariots and all his multitude with the edge of the sword, in the sight of Barak, so much so that Sisera, leaping from his chariot, fled on foot.
I Gospod smete Sisaru i sva kola njegova i svu vojsku oštrim maèem pred Varakom; i Sisara siðe s kola svojih i pobježe pješice.
16 And Barak pursued the fleeing chariots, and the army, as far as Harosheth of the Gentiles. And the entire multitude of the enemy was cut down, unto utter annihilation.
A Varak potjera kola i vojsku do Aroseta neznabožaèkoga; i pade sva vojska Sisarina od oštroga maèa, ne osta nijedan.
17 But Sisera, while fleeing, arrived at 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.
A Sisara uteèe pješice do šatora Jailje žene Evera Kenejina; jer bijaše mir meðu Javinom carem Asorskim i domom Evera Kenejina.
18 Therefore, Jael went out to meet Sisera, and she said to him: “Enter to me, my lord. Enter, you should not be afraid.” And he entered her tent, and having been covered by her with a cloak,
I izide Jailja na susret Sisari, i reèe mu: skloni se, gospodaru, skloni se kod mene; ne boj se. I on se skloni kod nje u šator, i ona ga pokri pokrivaèem.
19 he said to her: “Give me, I beg you, a little water. For I am very thirsty.” And she opened a bottle of milk, and she gave him to drink. And she covered him.
A on joj reèe: daj mi malo vode da se napijem, jer sam žedan. A ona otvori mijeh mlijeka i napoji ga, pa ga pokri.
20 And Sisera said to her: “Stand before the door of the tent. And if anyone arrives, questioning you and saying, ‘Could there be any man here?’ you shall respond, ‘There is no one.’”
A on joj reèe: stoj na vratima od šatora, i ako ko doðe i zapita te i reèe: ima li tu ko? reci: nema.
21 And so Jael, the wife of Heber, took a spike from the tent, and also took a mallet. And entering unseen and with silence, she placed the spike over the temple of his head. And striking it with the mallet, she drove it through his brain, as far as the ground. And so, joining deep sleep to death, he fell unconscious and died.
Tada Jailja žena Everova uze kolac od šatora, i uze malj u ruku, i pristupi k njemu polako, i satjera mu kolac kroz slijepe oèi, te proðe u zemlju, kad spavaše tvrdo umoran, i umrije.
22 And behold, Barak arrived, in pursuit of Sisera. And Jael, going out to meet him, said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.” And when he had entered her tent, he saw Sisera lying dead, with the spike fixed in his temples.
I gle, Varak tjeraše Sisaru, i Jailja mu izide na susret, i reèe mu: hodi da ti pokažem èovjeka kojega tražiš. I uðe k njoj, i gle, Sisara ležaše mrtav, i kolac mu u slijepijem oèima.
23 Thus did God humble Jabin, the king of Canaan, on that day, before the sons of Israel.
Tako pokori Bog u onaj dan Javina cara Hananskoga pred sinovima Izrailjevijem.
24 And they increased every day. And with a strong hand they overpowered Jabin, the king of Canaan, until they wiped him out.
I ruka sinova Izrailjevijeh bivaše sve teža Javinu caru Hananskom, dokle ne istrijebiše Javina cara Hananskoga.
