Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah, and Barak the sonne of Abinoam the same day, saying,
Da sang Debora og Barak, Abinoams Søn, paa den Dag og sagde:
2 Praise ye the Lord for the auenging of Israel, and for the people that offred themselues willingly.
Lover Herren, fordi der er taget Hævn i Israel, der Folket var villigt dertil.
3 Heare, ye Kings, hearken ye princes: I, euen I will sing vnto the Lord: I will sing praise vnto the Lord God of Israel.
Hører, I Konger! mærker, I Fyrster! jeg vil synge for Herren; Herren, Israels Gud, vil jeg lovsynge.
4 Lord, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou departedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heauens rained, the cloudes also 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 mountaines melted before the Lord, as did that Sinai before the Lord God of Israel.
Bjergene fløde hen for Herrens Ansigt, Sinai selv, for Herrens, Israels Guds, Ansigt.
6 In the dayes of Shamgar the sonne of Anath, in the dayes of Iael the hie wayes were vnoccupied, and the trauelers walked through by wayes.
I Samgars, Anaths Søns, Dage, i Jaels Dage vare Stierne tomme; og de vejfarende gik ad krogede Stier.
7 The townes were not inhabited: they decayed, I say, in Israel, vntill I Deborah came vp, which rose vp 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 was warre in the gates. Was there a shielde or speare seene among fourtie thousand of 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 Mine heart is set on the gouernours of Israel, and on them that are willing among the people: praise ye the Lord.
Mit Hjerte slaar for Israels Høvdinger, de som beviste sig villige iblandt Folket; lover Herren!
10 Speake ye that ride on white asses, yee that dwel by Middin, and that walke by the way.
I, som ride paa hvide Aseninder, I, som sidde paa Tæpper, og I, som gaa paa Vejen, taler frit!
11 For the noyse of the archers appaised among the drawers of water: there shall they rehearse the righteousnesse of the Lord, his righteousnesse of his townes in Israel: then did the people of the Lord goe downe to the gates.
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 Vp Deborah, vp, arise, and sing a song: arise Barak, and leade thy captiuitie captiue, thou sonne of Abinoam.
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 For they that remaine, haue dominio ouer the mightie of the people: the Lord hath giuen me dominion ouer the strong.
Da drog en Levning af de herlige, af Folket ned; Herren drog ned for mig blandt de vældige.
14 Of Ephraim their roote arose against Amalek: and after thee, Beniamin shall fight against thy people, O Amalek: of Machir came rulers, and of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
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 the Princes of Issachar were with Deborah, and Issachar, and also Barak: he was set on his feete in the valley: for the diuisions of Reuben were great thoughts of 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 abodest thou among the sheepefolds, to heare the bleatings of the flockes? for the diuisions of Reuben were great thoughts of heart.
Hvorfor blev du imellem Faarestierne, at høre paa Hyrdefløjten? medens Ruben blev ved sine Vandbække, var der store Ransagninger i Hjertet.
17 Gilead abode beyonde Iorden: and why doeth Dan remayne in shippes? Asher sate on the sea shoare, and taryed in his decayed places.
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 But the people of Zebulun and Naphtali haue ieopard their liues vnto the death in the hie places of the field.
Sebulon var et Folk, som agtede sit Liv ringe indtil Døden, i lige Maade Nafthali, paa Markens høje Steder.
19 The Kings came and fought: then fought the Kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: they receiued no gaine of money.
Kongerne kom, de strede; da strede Kanaans Konger udi Thaanak ved Megiddo Vand; de fik ingen Vinding af Sølv.
20 They fought from heauen, euen the starres in their courses fought against Sisera.
Fra Himmelen stredes der; Stjernerne fra deres høje Baner strede mod Sisera.
21 The Riuer Kishon swepe them away, that ancient riuer the riuer Kishon. O my soule, thou hast marched valiantly.
Bækken Kison bortfejede dem, de gamles Bæk, Bækken Kison; træd frem, min Sjæl, med Styrke!
22 Then were the horsehooues broken with the oft beating together of their mightie men.
Da trampede Hestenes Hove ved deres Heltes jagende, jagende Fart.
23 Curse ye Meroz: (sayd the Angel of the Lord) curse the inhabitantes thereof, because they came not to helpe the Lord, to helpe the Lord against 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 Iael the wife of Heber the Kenite shall be blessed aboue other women: blessed shall she be aboue women dwelling in tentes.
Velsignes skal Jael, Keniteren Hebers Hustru, fremfor Kvinderne; velsignes skal hun fremfor Kvinderne i noget Paulun.
25 He asked water, and shee gaue him milke: she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
Han begærede Vand, hun gav Mælk; hun bar Fløde frem i de herliges Skaal.
26 She put her hand to the naile, and her right hand to the workemans hammer: with the hammer smote she Sisera: she smote off his head, after she had wounded, and pearsed 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 bowed him downe at her feete, he fell downe, and lay still: at her feete hee bowed him downe, and fell: and when he had sunke downe, he lay there 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 Sisera looked out at a windowe, and cryed thorowe the lattesse, Why is his charet so long a comming? why tary the wheeles of his charets?
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, Yea. Shee answered her selfe with her owne wordes,
De vise iblandt hendes Fyrstinder svarede hende, ogsaa svarede hun sig selv paa sine Ord:
30 Haue they not gotten, and they deuide the spoyle? euery man hath a mayde or two. Sisera hath a praye of diuers coloured garmentes, a pray of sundry colours made of needle worke: of diuers colours of needle worke on both sides, for the chiefe of the spoyle.
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 So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but they that loue him, shall be as the Sunne when he riseth in his might, and the lande had rest fourtie yeres.
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.
