Judges 5
1 Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
Da sang Debora og Barak, Abinoams Søn, paa den Dag og sagde:
2 "Because the leaders took the lead in Israel, because the people offered themselves willingly, be blessed, Jehovah.
Lover Herren, fordi der er taget Hævn i Israel, der Folket var villigt dertil.
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.
Hører, I Konger! mærker, I Fyrster! jeg vil synge for Herren; Herren, Israels Gud, vil jeg lovsynge.
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.
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 quaked at the presence of Jehovah, even Sinai, at the presence of Jehovah, the 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. The travelers walked through byways.
I Samgars, Anaths Søns, Dage, i Jaels Dage vare Stierne tomme; og de vejfarende gik ad krogede Stier.
7 The rulers ceased in Israel. They ceased until I, Deborah, arose; Until 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 war was 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 leaders of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Jehovah.
Mit Hjerte slaar for Israels Høvdinger, de som beviste sig villige iblandt Folket; lover Herren!
10 "Speak, you who ride on white donkeys, you who sit on saddle blankets, and you who walk by the way.
I, som ride paa hvide Aseninder, I, som sidde paa Tæpper, og I, som gaa paa Vejen, taler frit!
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.
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. 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.'
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 a remnant of the nobles came down. The people of Jehovah marched down to me against the mighty.
Da drog en Levning af de herlige, af Folket ned; Herren drog ned for mig blandt de vældige.
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.
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. 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.
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 did you sit among the sheepfolds, to hear the piping for the flocks? At 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 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 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 was a people that risked their lives even to death; Naphtali also, on 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 the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo. They took no plunder of silver.
Kongerne kom, de strede; da strede Kanaans Konger udi Thaanak ved Megiddo Vand; de fik ingen Vinding af Sølv.
20 From the sky the stars fought. From their courses, they fought against Sisera.
Fra Himmelen stredes der; Stjernerne fra deres høje Baner strede mod Sisera.
21 The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. My soul, march on with strength.
Bækken Kison bortfejede dem, de gamles Bæk, Bækken Kison; træd frem, min Sjæl, med Styrke!
22 Then the horse hoofs pounded because of the galloping, the galloping of their steeds.
Da trampede Hestenes Hove ved deres Heltes jagende, jagende Fart.
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.
Forbander Meros, sagde Herrens Engel, forbander, forbander dens Indbyggere, fordi de ikke kom Herren til Hjælp, Herren til Hjælp iblandt de vældige.
24 Jael shall be blessed above women, the wife of Heber the Kenite; 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 for water. She gave him milk. She brought him curds in a princely bowl.
Han begærede Vand, hun gav Mælk; hun bar Fløde frem i de herliges Skaal.
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.
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 collapsed, he fell, he lay. At her feet he collapsed, he fell. Where he collapsed, there he fell down, destroyed.
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 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?'
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 princesses answered her; indeed, she answers herself,
De vise iblandt hendes Fyrstinder svarede hende, ogsaa svarede hun sig selv paa sine Ord:
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?'
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 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.
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.
