Judges 4
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord after the death of Aod,
Og Israels Børn bleve ved at gøre ondt for Herrens Øjne, der Ehud var død.
2 And the Lord delivered them up into the hands of Jaban king of Chanaan, who reigned in Asor: and he had a general of his army named Sisara, and he dwelt in Haroseth of the Gentiles.
Og Herren solgte dem i Jabins, Kanaans Konges, Haand, som regerede i Hazor; og Sisera var hans Stridshøvedsmand, og han boede i Haroseth Hagojim.
3 And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots set with scythes, and for twenty years had grievously oppressed them.
Og Israels Børn raabte til Herren; thi han havde ni Hundrede Jernvogne, og han havde undertrykt Israels Børn med Magt tyve Aar.
4 And there was at that time Debbora a prophetess the wife of Lapidoth, who judged the people,
Og Debora, en Kvinde, en Profetinde, Lapidoths Hustru, dømte Israel paa den samme Tid.
5 And she sat under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Rama and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for all judgment.
Og hun boede under Deboras Palmetræ, imellem Rama og Bethel, paa Efraims Bjerg; og Israels Børn gik op til hende for Retten.
6 And she sent and called Barac the son of Abinoem out of Cedes in Nephtali: and she said to him: The Lord God of Israel hath commanded thee: Go, and lead an army to mount Thabor, and thou shalt take with thee ten thousand fighting men of the children of Nephtali, and of the children of Zabulon:
Og hun sendte hen og lod kalde Barak, Abinoams Søn, af Kedes i Nafthali, og hun sagde til ham: Har ikke Herren Israels Gud budet: Gak og saml Folk paa Thabors Bjerg, og tag ti Tusinde Mænd med dig af Nafthali Børn og af Sebulons Børn.
7 And I will bring unto thee in the place of the torrent Cison, Sisara the general of Jabin’s army, and his chariots, and all his multitude, and will deliver them into thy hand.
Og jeg vil drage Sisera, Jabins Stridshøvedsmand, til dig, til Bækken Kison, og hans Vogne og hans Hob; og jeg vil give ham i din Haand.
8 And Barac said to her: If thou wilt come with me, I will go: if thou wilt not come with me, I will not go.
Og Barak sagde til hende: Dersom du vil gaa med mig, da vil jeg gaa; men dersom du ikke vil gaa med mig, vil jeg ikke gaa.
9 She said to him: I will go indeed with thee, but at this time the victory shall not be attributed to thee, because Sisara shall be delivered into the hand of a woman. Debbora therefore arose, and went with Barac to Cedes.
Og hun sagde: Jeg vil visseligen gaa med dig; men du vil dog ikke faa Æren paa den Vej, som du gaar paa, thi Herren skal sælge Sisera i en Kvindes Haand; saa gjorde Debora sig rede og gik med Barak til Kedes.
10 And he called unto him Zabulon and Nepbtali, and went up with ten thousand fighting men, having Debbora in his company.
Da kaldte Barak Sebulon og Nafthali sammen til Kedes; og der drog op efter ham ti Tusinde Mænd, og Debora drog op med ham.
11 Now Haber the Cinite had some time before departed from the rest of the Cinites his brethren the sons of Hobab, the kinsman of Moses: and had pitched his tents unto the valley which is called Sellnim, and was near Cedes.
Og Keniteren Heber havde skilt sig fra Keniterne, Hobabs, Mose Svigerfaders, Børn; og han slog sit Telt op indtil Lunden i Zaannaim, som er ved Kedes.
12 And it was told Sisara, that Barac the son of Ablinoem was gone up to mount Thabor:
Da gave de Sisera til Kende, at Barak, Abinoams Søn, var dragen op paa Bjerget Thabor.
13 And he gathered together his nine hundred chariots armed with scythes, and all his army from Haroseth of the Gentiles to the torrent Cison.
Og Sisera sammenkaldte alle sine Vogne, ni Hundrede Jernvogne, og alt Folket, som var med ham, fra Haroseth Hagojim til Bækken Kison.
14 And Debbora said to Barac: Arise, for this is the day wherein the Lord hath delivered Sisara into thy hands: behold he is thy leader. And Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand fighting men with him.
Og Debora sagde til Barak: Staa op, thi dette er den Dag, paa hvilken Herren har givet Sisera i din Haand; er Herren ikke dragen ud for dit Ansigt? Saa drog Barak ned af Bjerget Thabor, og de ti Tusinde Mænd efter ham.
15 And the Lord struck a terror into Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his multitude, with the edge of the sword, at the sight of Barac, insomuch that Sisara leaping down from off his chariot, fled away on foot.
Da forfærdede Herren Sisera og alle Vognene og al Hæren ved skarpe Sværd for Baraks Ansigt; og Sisera steg af Vognen og flyede til Fods.
16 And Barac pursued after the fleeing chariots and the army unto Haroseth of the Gentiles, and all the multitude of the enemies was utterly destroyed.
Men Barak forfulgte Vognene og Hæren indtil Haroseth Hagojim; og hele Siseras Lejr faldt for skarpe Sværd, der blev end ikke een tilovers.
17 But Sisara fleeing came to the tent of Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Asor, and the house of Haber the Cinite.
Men Sisera flyede til Fods til Jaels, Keniteren Hebers Hustrus, Telt, thi der var Fred imellem Jabin, Kongen af Hazor, og imellem Keniteren Hebers Hus.
18 And Jahel went forth to meet Sisara, and said to him: Come in to me, my lord, come in, fear not. He went in to her tent, and being covered by her with a cloak,
Da gik Jael ud imod Sisera og sagde til ham: Tag ind, min Herre! tag ind til mig, frygt ikke; og han tog ind til hende i Teltet, og hun dækkede ham til med et By.
19 Said to her: Give me, I beseech thee, a little water, for I am very thirsty. She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him.
Og han sagde til hende: Kære, giv mig lidt Vand at drikke, thi jeg tørster; da aabnede hun en Mælkeflaske og lod ham drikke og dækkede ham til.
20 And Sisara said to her: Stand before the door of the tent, and when any shall come and inquire of thee, saying: Is there any man here? thou shalt say: There is none.
Og han sagde til hende: Stil dig ved Døren af Teltet, og sker det, at der kommer nogen og spørger dig og siger: Er her nogen? da skal du sige: Her er ingen.
21 So Jahel Haber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and taking also a hammer: and going in softly, and with silence, she put the nail upon the temples of his head, and striking it With the hammer, drove it through his brain fast into the ground: and so passing from deep sleep to death, he fainted away and died.
Da tog Jael, Hebers Hustru, en Teltnagel og tog en Hammer i sin Haand og gik ind til ham sagteligen og slog Naglen igennem hans Tinding, at den gik ned i Jorden (thi han sov haardt og var træt), og han døde.
22 And behold Barac came pursuing after Sisara: and Jahel went out to meet him, and said to him: Come, and I will shew thee, the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, be saw Sisara lying dead, and the nail fastened in his temples.
Og se, der Barak forfulgte Sisera, da gik Jael ud imod ham og sagde til ham: Kom, saa vil jeg vise dig den Mand, som du søger efter; og han kom ind til hende, og se, Sisera laa der og var død, og Naglen sad i hans Tinding.
23 So God that day humbled Jabin the king of Chanaan before the children of Israel:
Saa ydmygede Gud paa den Dag Jabin, Kanaans Konge, for Israels Børns Ansigt.
24 Who grew daily stronger, and with a mighty hand overpowered Jabin king of Chanaan, till they quite destroyed him.
Og Israels Børns Haand fik Fremgang og blev haard over Jabin, Kanaans Konge, indtil de fik Jabin, Kanaans Konge, udryddet.
