< Judges 5 >
1 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
Toga dana Debora i Barak, sin Abinoamov, zapjevaše ovu pjesmu:
2 "Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, Jehovah.
Ratoborno rasuše kose borci izraelski i dragovoljno krenu narod: blagoslivljajte Jahvu!
3 "Hear, you kings. Give ear, you princes. I, even I, will sing to Jehovah. I will sing praise to Jehovah, the God of Israel.
Čujte, o kraljevi! Poslušajte, knezovi! Jahvi ja pjesmu pjevam, Jahvu, Boga Izraelova, ja slavim.
4 "Jehovah, when you went forth out of Seir, when you marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the sky also dropped. Yes, the clouds dropped water.
Sa Seira kad si silazio, Jahve, pobjednički kad si kročio iz polja edomskih, sva se zemlja tresla, lila se nebesa, oblaci curkom daždjeli.
5 The mountains quaked at the presence of Jehovah, even Sinai, at the presence of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
Brda se tresla pred tobom, o Jahve, Jahve, Bože Izraelov!
6 "In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied. The travelers walked through byways.
U dane Šamgara, sina Anatova, u dane Jaele opustješe putovi; i oni koji su putovali, obilažahu naokolo.
7 The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until I arose a mother in Israel.
Pusta bijahu sela izraelska dok ne ustadoh ja, Debora, dok ne ustadoh kao majka Izraelu.
8 They chose new gods. Then war was in the gates. Was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Tuđe bogove sebi izabraše, i zato im rat stade pred vrata. Za pet gradova ne bi nijednog štita! Nijednog kralja za četrdeset tisuća u Izraelu!
9 My heart is toward the leaders of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Jehovah.
Srce moje kuca za vođe izraelske, za narod što dragovoljno u boj kreće! Blagoslivljajte Jahvu!
10 "Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on saddle blankets, and you who walk by the way.
Vi koji na bijelim jašete magaricama, na sagovima sjedeći, i vi koji hodite putovima, pjevajte,
11 Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, there they will rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. "Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.
uz povike razdraganih pastira kod pojila. Neka se slave dobročinstva Jahvina i vladavina njegova Izraelom! I narod Jahvin siđe na vrata.
12 'Awake, awake, Deborah. Awaken the multitudes of a nation. Awake, awake, sing a song. Be strong. Arise, Barak. And Deborah, strengthen Barak. And lead away your captives, son of Abinoam.'
Probudi se, Deboro, ustani! Ustani, pjesmu zapjevaj! Hrabro! Ustani, Barače, vodi u roblje porobljivače svoje, sine Abinoamov!
13 "Then a remnant of the nobles came down. The people of Jehovah marched down to me against the mighty.
Tad siđe na vrata Izrael, narod Jahvin pohrli junački.
14 From Ephraim those who uprooted Amalek came out, following you, Benjamin, among your peoples; out of Makir leaders came down, and out of Zebulun those that handle the staff of office.
Iz Efrajima potekoše u dolinu, za njima stiže među čete tvoje Benjamin. Iz Makira stupaju glavari, iz Zebuluna oni što nose štap zapovjednički.
15 And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah. As was Issachar, so was Barak. They rushed into the valley at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben, there were great resolves of heart.
Knezovi Jisakarovi s Deborom bjehu, a Naftali pođe s Barakom, pohrli da ga stigne u dolini. Kod Rubenovih potoka dugo se savjetuju.
16 Why did you sit among the sheepfolds, to hear the piping for the flocks? At the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
Zašto si ostao u torovima da slušaš sred stada svirku frule? Kod Rubenovih potoka dugo se savjetuju.
17 Gilead lived beyond the Jordan. Why did Dan remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and lived by his harbors.
Gilead osta s onu stranu Jordana. A zašto je Dan na stranim lađama? Zašto na obali mora Ašer sjedi, mirno prebiva u svojim zaljevima?
18 Zebulun was a people that risked their lives even to death; Naphtali also, on the high places of the field.
Zebulun je narod što prkosi smrti s Naftalijem, na visoravnima.
19 The kings came and fought, then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no plunder of silver.
Došli su kraljevi, boj zametnuli, boj bili kraljevi kanaanski, u Tanaku, na vodi megidskoj, al' ni mrve srebra ne dobiše.
20 From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
Sa nebeskih staza vojevahu, vojevahu zvijezde prot' Siseri.
21 The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
Sve otplavi potok Kišon, potok Kišon pradavni. Gazi čvrsto, moja dušo!
22 Then the horse hoofs pounded because of the galloping, the galloping of their steeds.
Topot silan odjekuje: jure borci na konjima!
23 Curse Meroz, said the angel of Jehovah. Curse bitterly its inhabitants, because they did not come to help Jehovah, to help Jehovah against the mighty.
“Proklinjite Meroz,” Anđeo će Jahvin, “proklinjite žitelje njegove što Jahvi nisu u pomoć pritekli, u pomoć Jahvi s junacima.”
24 Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
Blagoslovljena među ženama bila Jaela, žena Hebera Kenijca, među ženama šatora nek' je slavljena!
25 He asked for water. She gave him milk. She brought him curds in a princely bowl.
On vode zaiska, mlijeka mu ona dade, u zdjelu dragocjenu nali mu povlake.
26 She put her hand to the tent peg, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer. She struck Sisera, she pierced his head; she shattered and struck through his temple.
Rukom lijevom za klinom segnu, a desnom za čekićem kovačkim. Udari Siseru, glavu mu razmrska, probode mu, razbi sljepoočicu.
27 At her feet he collapsed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he collapsed, he fell. Where he collapsed, there he fell down, destroyed.
Do nogu pade joj, sruši se, leže, do nogu pade joj, sruši se; i gdje pade, mrtav osta.
28 Through the window she looked out. Sisera's mother cried out through the lattice, 'Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why are the hoofbeats of his chariots delayed?'
Kroz prozor motri Siserina mati, kroz prozor motri, na rešetku jÓada: “Dugo mu se kola ne vraćaju: što im je zapreg tako spor?”
29 Her wise princesses answered her; indeed, she answers herself,
Najmudrija zbori joj dvorkinja, sebi samoj ona odgovara:
30 'Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A womb or two for every man; to Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, A spoil of dyed garments embroidered, Of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, for the neck of the plunderer?'
“Plijen su našli pa ga dijele: po djevojku na ratnika, po djevojku i po dvije, halju-dvije za Siseru, vezen rubac za moj vrat!”
31 So let all your enemies perish, Jehovah, but let those who love you be as the sun when it rises forth in its strength." And the land had rest forty years.
Tako neka ginu, Jahve, svi neprijatelji tvoji! A oni koji te ljube nek budu kao sunce kada se diže u svojemu sjaju! I zemlja bijaše mirna četrdeset godina.
