Judges 4
1 And the sons of Israel again did the thing that was wicked in the sight of Yahweh, —when, Ehud, was dead.
Men da Ehud var død, blev Israelitterne ved at gøre, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne.
2 So Yahweh sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor, —now, the prince of his host, was Sisera, and, he, dwelt in Harosheth of the nations.
Derfor gav han dem til Pris, for Kana'anæerkongen Jabin, som herskede i Hazor; hans Hærfører var Sisera, som boede i Harosjet-Haggojim.
3 And the sons of Israel made outcry unto Yahweh, —for he had, nine hundred chariots of iron, and, he, oppressed the sons of Israel heavily, twenty years.
Da råbte Israelitterne til HERREN. Thi Jabin havde 900 Jernvogne, og han trængte Israelitterne hårdt i tyve År.
4 And, Deborah, a woman who was a prophetess, wife of Lapidoth, she, was judging Israel, at that time:
Profetinden Debora, Lappidots Hustru, var på den Tid Dommer i Israel;
5 she used to sit, therefore, under the palm-tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Bethel, in the hill country of Ephraim, —and the sons of Israel came up to her, for justice.
hun sad under Deborapalmen imellem Rama og Betel i Efraims Bjerge, og Israelitterne drog op til hende med deres Retstrætter.
6 And she sent and called for Barak son of Abinoam, out of Kadesh-naphtali, —and said unto him—Hath not Yahweh God of Israel, commanded, —Come and draw towards Mount Tabor, and bring with thee—ten thousand men, of the sons of Naphtali, and of the sons 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 and I will draw unto thee, unto the torrent of Kishon, Sisera, prince of the host of Jabin, with his chariots, and with his multitude, —and will deliver him into thy 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 And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then will I go—but, if thou wilt not go with me, I will not go.
Barak svarede hende: "Hvis du vil gå med, vil jeg gå; men hvis du ikke går med, går jeg ikke!"
9 And she said—I will, go, with thee; only, it shall not be, thine own honour, that shall arise from the journey which thou art about to take, for, into the hand of a woman, will Yahweh sell Sisera. So Deborah arose, and went with Barak, towards Kadesh.
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 And Barak called together Zebulun and Naphtali, towards Kadesh, and there went up at his feet—ten thousand men, —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 sons of Hobab, father-in-law of Moses, —and moved his tent as far as the oak of Zaanaim, which is near Kadesh.
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 they told Sisera that Barak, 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 So Sisera called together all his chariots—nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, —from Harosheth of the nations, unto the torrent of Kishon.
stævnede han alle sine Stridsvogne, 900 jernbeslagne Vogne, og hele sin Krigsstyrke fra Harosjet Haggojim til Kisjonbækken.
14 Then said Deborah unto Barak—Up! for, this, is the day on which Yahweh hath delivered Sisera into thy hand, hath not, Yahweh, gone forth before thee? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, with 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 And Yahweh put to flight Sisera and all the chariots and all the host, with the edge of the sword, before Barak, —so Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled on foot.
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 Now, Barak, pursued the chariots, and the host, as far as Harosheth of the nations, —and all the host of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword, there was not left so much as one.
men Barak satte efter Vognene og Hæren lige til Harosjet Haggojim, og hele Siseras Hær faldt for Sværdet, ikke een blev tilbage.
17 Now, Sisera, had fled on foot, unto the tent of Jael, wife of Heber the Kenite, for there was peace between Jabin, king of Hazer, 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 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him: Turn aside, my lord, turn aside with me, do not fear. So he turned aside with her into the tent, and she threw over him a coverlet.
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 And he said unto her—Let me drink, I pray thee, a little water, for I am thirsty. So she opened the bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and spread over him the coverlet.
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 And he said unto her, Stand at the entrance of the tent, —and it shall be, if any man come and ask thee and say—Is there here a man? that thou shalt say, There is not.
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 took Jael, wife of Heber, the tent-pin, and put the mallet in her hand, and went in unto him, softly, and smote the tent-pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground, —he being fast asleep and shrouded in darkness, and 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 And lo! Barak—in pursuit of Sisera! So Jael went forth to meet him, and said unto him, Come and let me shew thee—the man whom thou art seeking. And he came in with her, and lo! Sisera—lying dead, with the tent-pin 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 Thus God subdued, on that day, Jabin king of Canaan, —before the sons of Israel.
Således lod Gud på den Dag Kana'anæerkongen Jabin bukke under for Israelitterne;
24 And the hand of the sons of Israel went on, waxing more and more heavy upon Jabin king of Canaan, —until they had cut off Jabin king of Canaan.
og Israelitternes Hånd faldt hårdere og hårdere på Kana'anæerkongen Jabin, til de fik ham tilintetgjort.
