Judges 4
1 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, when Ehud was dead.
Og Israels Børn bleve ved at gøre ondt for Herrens Øjne, der Ehud var død.
2 Jehovah sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth Haggoyim.
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 The children of Israel cried to Jehovah: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
Og Israels Børn raabte til Herren; thi han havde ni Hundrede Jernvogne, og han havde undertrykt Israels Børn med Magt tyve Aar.
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
Og Debora, en Kvinde, en Profetinde, Lapidoths Hustru, dømte Israel paa den samme Tid.
5 She lived under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Og hun boede under Deboras Palmetræ, imellem Rama og Bethel, paa Efraims Bjerg; og Israels Børn gik op til hende for Retten.
6 She sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh Naphtali, and said to him, "Hasn't Jehovah, the God of Israel, commanded, 'Go and draw to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the people of Naphtali and of the people of Zebulun?
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 I will draw to you, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into your 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 Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go, for I do not know the day on which Jehovah prospers his angel with me."
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, "I will surely go with you, but know that the journey that you take will not be for your honor; for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman." Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
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 Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
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 Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the descendants of Hobab the brother-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
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 reported to Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.
Da gave de Sisera til Kende, at Barak, Abinoams Søn, var dragen op paa Bjerget Thabor.
13 Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth Haggoyim, to the river Kishon.
Og Sisera sammenkaldte alle sine Vogne, ni Hundrede Jernvogne, og alt Folket, som var med ham, fra Haroseth Hagojim til Bækken Kison.
14 Deborah said to Barak, "Arise, for this is the day in which Jehovah has delivered Sisera into your hand. Hasn't Jehovah gone out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after 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 Jehovah confused Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera got off from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
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 But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, to Harosheth Haggoyim: and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not a man left.
Men Barak forfulgte Vognene og Hæren indtil Haroseth Hagojim; og hele Siseras Lejr faldt for skarpe Sværd, der blev end ikke een tilovers.
17 However Sisera fled away on his feet 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.
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 Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, "Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; do not be afraid." He came in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
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 He said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty." She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him 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 He said to her, "Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man comes and inquires of you, and says, 'Is there any man here?' that you shall say, 'No.'"
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 Then Jael Heber's wife took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he 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 Look, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, "Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek." He came to her; and look, Sisera lay dead, and the tent peg was 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 subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
Saa ydmygede Gud paa den Dag Jabin, Kanaans Konge, for Israels Børns Ansigt.
24 The hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
Og Israels Børns Haand fik Fremgang og blev haard over Jabin, Kanaans Konge, indtil de fik Jabin, Kanaans Konge, udryddet.
