Judges 4
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of Jehovah; now Ehud was dead.
Men da Ehud var død, blev Israeliterne ved at gøre, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne.
2 And Jehovah sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; and the captain of his army was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth-Goim.
Derfor gav han dem til Pris, for Kana'anæerkongen Jabin, som herskede i Hazor; hans Hærfører var Sisera, som boede i Harosjet-Haggojim.
3 And the children of Israel cried to Jehovah; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and he mightily oppressed the children of Israel twenty years.
Da raabte Israeliterne til HERREN. Thi Jabin havde 900 Jernvogne, og han trængte Israeliterne haardt i tyve Aar.
4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, judged Israel at that time.
Profetinden Debora, Lappidots Hustru, var paa den Tid Dommer i Israel;
5 And she dwelt under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
hun sad under Deborapalmen imellem Rama og Betel i Efraims Bjerge, og Israeliterne drog op til hende med deres Retstrætter.
6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-Naphtali, and said to him, Hath not Jehovah the God of Israel commanded? Go and draw towards mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun,
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 paa Tabors Bjerg og tag 10 000 Mand af Naftali og Zebulon med dig;
7 and I will draw unto thee, to the torrent Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, and his chariots and his multitude, and I will give him into thy hand.
saa skal jeg drage Jabins Hærfører Sisera med hans Vogne og Hærstyrke hen til dig ved Kisjonbækken og give ham i din Haand!«
8 And Barak said to her, If thou goest with me, then I will go, but if thou goest not with me, I will not go.
Barak svarede hende: »Hvis du vil gaa med, vil jeg gaa; men hvis du ikke gaar med, gaar jeg ikke!«
9 And she said, I will by all means go with thee, only that it will not be to thine honour upon the way which thou goest, for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Da sagde hun: »Vel, jeg gaar med, men saa faar du ikke Æren af den Færd, du begiver dig ud paa, thi HERREN vil overgive Sisera i en Kvindes Haand!« Saa brød Debora op og drog af Sted til Kedesj med Barak.
10 And Barak called together Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and there went up at his feet ten thousand men; and Deborah went up with him.
Barak stævnede nu Zebulon og Naftali sammen i Kedesj, og 10 000 Mand fulgte med ham derop; ogsaa Debora gik med. —
11 (Now Heber the Kenite had severed himself from the Kenites, from the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak of Zaannaim, which is by Kedesh.)
Men Keniten Heber havde skilt sig fra Keniterne, Moses's Svigerfader Hobabs Sønner, og slaaet Telt i Egnen hen imod Elon-Beza'anannim ved Kedesj.
12 And they told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to mount Tabor.
Da Sisera fik Melding om, at Barak, Abinoams Søn, var draget op paa Tabors Bjerg,
13 Then Sisera gathered together all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth-Goim to the torrent Kishon.
stævnede han alle sine Stridsvogne, 900 jernbeslagne Vogne, og hele sin Krigsstyrke fra Harosjet Haggojim til Kisjonbækken.
14 And Deborah said to Barak, Up; for this is the day in which Jehovah hath given Sisera into thy hand! Is not Jehovah gone out before thee? And Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Da sagde Debora til Barak: »Bryd nu op! Thi det er i Dag. HERREN vil give Sisera i din Haand. Er HERREN ikke draget foran dig?« Barak steg da ned fra Tabors Bjerg, fulgt af de 10 000 Mand.
15 And Jehovah discomfited Sisera, and all the chariots, and all the army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera got down from [his] chariot, and fled on foot.
Og foran Barak bragte HERREN Uorden iblandt alle Siseras Stridsvogne og i hele hans Hær. Sisera sprang af sin Vogn og flygtede til Fods;
16 And Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, to Harosheth-Goim; and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not one was left.
men Barak satte efter Vognene og Hæren lige til Harosjet Haggojim, og hele Siseras Hær faldt for Sværdet, ikke een blev tilbage.
17 And Sisera fled on foot 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 var imidlertid flygtet til Fods til Keniten Hebers Hustru Jaels Telt, thi der var Fred imellem Kong Jabin af Hazor og Keniten Hebers Slægt.
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 the quilt.
Da gik Jael Sisera i Møde og sagde til ham: »Tag dog ind hos mig, Herre, du har intet at frygte!« Han tog da ind i Teltet hos hende, og hun dækkede ham til med et Tæppe.
19 And he said to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty. And she opened the flask of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
Og han sagde til hende: »Giv mig lidt Vand at drikke, thi jeg er tørstig!« Da aabnede hun Mælkesækken og gav ham at drikke og dækkede ham atter til.
20 And he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be if any one come and inquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
Saa sagde han til hende: »Stil dig hen i Teltdøren, og hvis der kommer en og spørger, om der er nogen herinde, saa sig nej!«
21 And Jael Heber's wife took a tent-pin, and took the hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and smote the pin into his temples, and it penetrated into the ground; for he had fallen into a deep sleep and was faint; and he died.
Men Jael, Hebers Hustru, greb en Teltpæl og tog en Hammer i Haanden, listede sig ind til ham og slog Pælen igennem hans Tinding, saa den trængte ned i Jorden; thi han var faldet i dyb Søvn, træt som han var; saaledes døde han.
22 And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael went out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And he went into her [tent], and behold, Sisera lay dead, and the pin was in his temples.
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!« Saa kom han ind til hende. Og se, der laa Sisera død med Teltpælen gennem Tindingen.
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
Saaledes lod Gud paa den Dag Kana'anæerkongen Jabin bukke under for Israeliterne;
24 And the hand of the children of Israel ever advanced, and prevailed against Jabin king of Canaan, until they had cut off Jabin king of Canaan.
og Israeliternes Haand faldt haardere og haardere paa Kana'anæerkongen Jabin, til de fik ham tilintetgjort.
