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 For that the leaders took the lead in Israel, for that the people offered themselves willingly, bless ye the LORD.
Lover Herren, fordi der er taget Hævn i Israel, der Folket var villigt dertil.
3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, [even] I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD, the God of Israel.
Hører, I Konger! mærker, I Fyrster! jeg vil synge for Herren; Herren, Israels Gud, vil jeg lovsynge.
4 LORD, when thou wentest forth out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, yea, 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 flowed down at the presence of the LORD, even yon Sinai at the presence of the LORD, 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, 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 rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, 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 ye the LORD.
Mit Hjerte slaar for Israels Høvdinger, de som beviste sig villige iblandt Folket; lover Herren!
10 Tell [of it], ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit on rich carpets, and ye that 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 shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, [even] the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. Then the people of the LORD 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; awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou 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 came down a remnant of the nobles [and] the people; the LORD came down for me against the mighty.
Da drog en Levning af de herlige, af Folket ned; Herren drog ned for mig blandt de vældige.
14 Out of Ephraim [came down] they whose root is in Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the marshal’s staff.
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; into the valley they rushed forth 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 satest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the pipings for the flocks? At the watercourses 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 Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, and abode by his creeks.
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 jeoparded their lives unto the death, and Naphtali, upon 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 Meggido: 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 Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, march on with strength.
Bækken Kison bortfejede dem, de gamles Bæk, Bækken Kison; træd frem, min Sjæl, med Styrke!
22 Then did the horsehoofs stamp by reason of the pransings, the pransings of their strong ones.
Da trampede Hestenes Hove ved deres Heltes jagende, jagende Fart.
23 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye 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 be, 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 water, [and] she gave him milk; she brought him 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 smote Sisera, she smote through his head, yea, she pierced and struck 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: 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 Through the window she looked forth, and cried, the mother of Sisera [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 found, have they not divided the spoil? a damsel, two damsels to every man; to Sisera a spoil of divers colours, a spoil of divers colours of embroidery, of divers colours of embroidery on both sides, on the necks of 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 thine enemies perish, [O LORD]: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth 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.
