Judges 4
1 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, when Ehud was dead.
Men da Ehud var død, blev Israelitterne ved at gøre, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne.
2 YHWH 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.
Derfor gav han dem til Pris, for Kana'anæerkongen Jabin, som herskede i Hazor; hans Hærfører var Sisera, som boede i Harosjet-Haggojim.
3 The children of Israel cried to YHWH: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
Da råbte Israelitterne til HERREN. Thi Jabin havde 900 Jernvogne, og han trængte Israelitterne hårdt i tyve År.
4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
Profetinden Debora, Lappidots Hustru, var på den Tid Dommer i Israel;
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.
hun sad under Deborapalmen imellem Rama og Betel i Efraims Bjerge, og Israelitterne drog op til hende med deres Retstrætter.
6 She sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh Naphtali, and said to him, "Hasn't YHWH, 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?
Hun sendte nu Bud efter Barak, Abinoams Søn fra Kedesj i Naftali, og sagde til ham: "Har ikke HERREN, Israels Gud, budt: Bryd op, drag hen på Tabors Bjerg og tag 10000 Mand af Naftali og Zebulon med dig;
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.'"
så skal jeg drage Jabins Hærfører Sisera med hans Vogne og Hærstyrke hen til dig ved Kisjonbækken og give ham i din Hånd!"
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 YHWH prospers his angel with me."
Barak svarede hende: "Hvis du vil gå med, vil jeg gå; men hvis du ikke går med, går jeg ikke!"
9 She said, "I will surely go with you, but know that the journey that you take will not be for your honor; for YHWH will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman." Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Da sagde hun: "Vel, jeg går med, men så får du ikke Æren af den Færd, du begiver dig ud på, thi HERREN vil overgive Sisera i en Kvindes Hånd!" Så brød Debora op og drog af Sted til Kedesj med Barak.
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.
Barak stævnede nu Zebulon og Naftali sammen i Kedesj, og 10000 Mand fulgte med ham derop; også Debora gik med.
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.
Men Keniten Heber havde skilt sig fra Keniterne, Moses's Svigerfader Hobabs Sønner, og slået Telt i Egnen hen imod Elon-Beza'anannim ved Kedesj.
12 And it was reported to Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.
Da Sisera fik Melding om, at Barak, Abinoams Søn, var draget op på Tabors Bjerg,
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.
stævnede han alle sine Stridsvogne, 900 jernbeslagne Vogne, og hele sin Krigsstyrke fra Harosjet Haggojim til Kisjonbækken.
14 Deborah said to Barak, "Arise, for this is the day in which YHWH has delivered Sisera into your hand. Hasn't YHWH gone out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Da sagde Debora til Barak: "Bryd nu op! Thi det er i Dag. HERREN vil give Sisera i din Hånd. Er HERREN ikke draget foran dig?" Barak steg da ned fra Tabors Bjerg, fulgt af de 10000 Mand.
15 YHWH 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.
Og foran Barak bragte HERREN Uorden iblandt alle Siseras Stridsvogne og i hele hans Hær. Sisera sprang af sin Vogn og flygtede 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 satte efter Vognene og Hæren lige til Harosjet Haggojim, og hele Siseras Hær faldt for Sværdet, ikke een blev tilbage.
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.
Sisera var imidlertid flygtet til Fods til Keniten Hebers Hustru Jaels Telt, thi der var Fred imellem Kong Jabin af Hazor og Keniten Hebers Slægt.
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 Sisera i Møde og sagde til ham: "Tag dog ind hos mig, Herre, du bar intet at frygte!" Han tog da ind i Teltet hos hende, og hun dækkede ham til med et Tæppe.
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: "Giv mig lidt Vand at drikke, thi jeg er tørstig!" Da åbnede hun Mælkesækken og gav ham at drikke og dækkede ham atter 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.'"
Så sagde han til hende: "Stil dig hen i Teltdøren, og hvis der kommer en og spørger, om der er nogen herinde, så sig nej!"
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.
Men Jael, Hebers Hustru, greb en Teltpæl og tog en Hammer i Hånden, listede sig ind til ham og slog Pælen igennem hans Tinding, så den trængte ned i Jorden; thi han var faldet i dyb Søvn, træt som han var; således døde han.
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, Barak, søm forfulgte Sisera, kom forbi. Da gik Jael ham i Møde og sagde til ham: "Kom, jeg skal vise dig den Mand, du søger efter!" Så kom han ind til hende. Og se, der lå Sisera død med Teltpælen gennem Tindingen.
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
Således lod Gud på den Dag Kana'anæerkongen Jabin bukke under for Israelitterne;
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 Israelitternes Hånd faldt hårdere og hårdere på Kana'anæerkongen Jabin, til de fik ham tilintetgjort.
