Judges 5
1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
Da sang Debora og Barak, Abinoams Søn, paa den Dag og sagde:
2 Praise all of you the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
Lover Herren, fordi der er taget Hævn i Israel, der Folket var villigt dertil.
3 Hear, O all of you kings; give ear, O all of you princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to 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 you went out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds 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 mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.
Bjergene fløde hen for Herrens Ansigt, Sinai selv, for Herrens, Israels Guds, Ansigt.
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.
I Samgars, Anaths Søns, Dage, i Jaels Dage vare Stierne tomme; og de vejfarende gik ad krogede Stier.
7 The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I 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 was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among 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 is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless all of you the LORD.
Mit Hjerte slaar for Israels Høvdinger, de som beviste sig villige iblandt Folket; lover Herren!
10 Speak, all of you that ride on white asses, all of you that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
I, som ride paa hvide Aseninder, I, som sidde paa Tæpper, og I, som gaa paa Vejen, taler frit!
11 They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down 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 Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead your captivity captive, you son 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 Then he made him that remains have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
Da drog en Levning af de herlige, af Folket ned; Herren drog ned for mig blandt de vældige.
14 Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after you, Benjamin, among your people; out of Machir came down governors, and out 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; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there 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 abode you among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben 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 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
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 Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeopardized their lives unto the death in the high 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 took no gain 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 heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Fra Himmelen stredes der; Stjernerne fra deres høje Baner strede mod Sisera.
21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, you have trodden down strength.
Bækken Kison bortfejede dem, de gamles Bæk, Bækken Kison; træd frem, min Sjæl, med Styrke!
22 Then were the horse-hoofs broken by the means of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
Da trampede Hestenes Hove ved deres Heltes jagende, jagende Fart.
23 Curse all of you Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse all of you bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of 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 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
Velsignes skal Jael, Keniteren Hebers Hustru, fremfor Kvinderne; velsignes skal hun fremfor Kvinderne i noget Paulun.
25 He asked water, and she gave him milk; 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 nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she stroke Sisera, she stroke off his head, when she had pierced and stricken 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 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down 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 window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
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, she returned answer to herself,
De vise iblandt hendes Fyrstinder svarede hende, ogsaa svarede hun sig selv paa sine Ord:
30 Have they not succeeded? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?
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 of your enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goes forth in his might. 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.
