Judges 4
1 After Ehud died, the Israelis again started doing things Yahweh said were very evil.
A po smrti Aodovoj opet sinovi Izrailjevi èiniše što je zlo pred Gospodom.
2 So he allowed the army of Jabin, one of the kings of Canaan land, who ruled in Hazor [city], to conquer the Israelis. The commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-Haggoyim.
I Gospod ih dade u ruke Javinu caru Hananskom, koji vladaše u Asoru, a vojsci njegovoj bješe vojvoda Sisara, koji življaše u Arosetu neznabožaèkom.
3 Sisera’s [army] had 900 chariots. For 20 years he oppressed the Israelis. Then they pleaded to Yahweh to help them.
I sinovi Izrailjevi vapiše ka Gospodu; jer on imaše devet stotina gvozdenijeh kola, i veoma pritješnjavaše sinove Izrailjeve dvadeset godina.
4 At that time Deborah, who was the wife of Lappidoth, was a prophetess who had become the leader in Israel.
U to vrijeme Devora proroèica, žena Lafidotova, suðaše Izrailju.
5 She would sit under her palm tree at a place between Ramah and Bethel, in the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim lived, and people would come to her and ask her to settle disputes between them.
I Devora stanovaše pod palmom izmeðu Rame i Vetilja u gori Jefremovoj, i dolažahu k njoj sinovi Izrailjevi na sud.
6 One day she summoned Barak, the son of Abinoam, when he was in Kedesh, in the area where the descendants of Naphtali lived. She said to him, “This is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship, is commanding you to do: ‘Take with you 1,000 men, some from the descendants of Naphtali and some from the descendants of Zebulun, and lead them to Tabor Mountain.
A ona poslavši dozva Varaka sina Avinejemova iz Kedesa Neftalimova, i reèe mu: nije li zapovjedio Gospod Bog Izrailjev: idi, skupi narod na goru Tavor, i uzmi sa sobom deset tisuæa ljudi izmeðu sinova Neftalimovijeh i sinova Zavulonovijeh?
7 Yahweh will lure Sisera, the commander of King Jabin’s army, to come with his chariots and his army, to the Kishon River, [a few miles away]. I will enable your men to defeat them there.’”
Jer æu dovesti k tebi na potok Kison Sisaru vojvodu Javinova i kola njegova i ljudstvo njegovo, i predaæu ga tebi u ruke.
8 Barak replied, “I will go only if you go with me.”
A Varak joj reèe: ako æeš ti iæi sa mnom, iæi æu; ako li neæeš iæi sa mnom, neæu iæi.
9 She replied, “Okay, I will go with you. But because that is what you have decided to do, Yahweh will enable a woman to defeat Sisera, and the result will be that (you will not be honored/people will not honor you) [for doing that].”
A ona reèe: ja æu iæi s tobom, ali neæeš imati slave na putu kojim æeš iæi; jer æe ženi u ruku dati Gospod Sisaru. I ustavši Devora otide s Varakom u Kedes.
10 So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh. There he summoned men from Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men came to him, and then they went together with Deborah [to Tabor Mountain].
I Varak sazvavši sinove Zavulonove i Neftalimove u Kedes, povede za sobom deset tisuæa ljudi; i Devora iðaše s njim.
11 At that time Heber, one of the descendants of the Ken people-group, had moved [with his wife Jael] from the area where that group lived, and set up his tent near the big oak tree at Zaanannim, near Kedesh. Heber was a descendant of Moses’ brother-in-law Hobab.
A Ever Kenejin bješe se odvojio od Keneja, od sinova Ovava tasta Mojsijeva, i bješe razapeo svoj šator kod hrastova Zanajimskih, a to je kod Kedesa.
12 Someone told Sisera that Barak had gone up on Tabor Mountain [with an army].
I javiše Sisari da je izašao Varak sin Avinejemov na goru Tavor.
13 So he gathered his troops with their 900 chariots, and they marched from Harosheth-Haggoyim to the Kishon River.
I Sisara skupi sva kola svoja, devet stotina kola gvozdenijeh, i sav narod koji bijaše s njim od Aroseta neznabožaèkoga do potoka Kisona.
14 Then Deborah said to Barak, “Get ready! This is the day that Yahweh will enable your [army] to defeat the army of Sisera. Yahweh is going ahead of you!” So Barak led his men as they descended from Tabor Mountain.
Tada reèe Devora Varaku: ustani, jer je ovo dan, u koji ti dade Gospod Sisaru u ruke. Ne ide li Gospod pred tobom? I Varak siðe s gore Tavora, i deset tisuæa ljudi za njim.
15 As they advanced, Yahweh caused Sisera and all his chariots and his army to have great difficulty maneuvering/moving around. So Sisera jumped down from his chariot and ran away.
I Gospod smete Sisaru i sva kola njegova i svu vojsku oštrim maèem pred Varakom; i Sisara siðe s kola svojih i pobježe pješice.
16 But Barak and his men pursued the other chariots and the enemy soldiers as far as Harosheth-Haggoyim. They killed all of the men in Sisera’s army. Not one man survived.
A Varak potjera kola i vojsku do Aroseta neznabožaèkoga; i pade sva vojska Sisarina od oštroga maèa, ne osta nijedan.
17 But Sisera ran to Jael’s tent. He did that because [his boss], King Jabin of Hazor [city], was a good friend of [Jael’s husband] Heber.
A Sisara uteèe pješice do šatora Jailje žene Evera Kenejina; jer bijaše mir meðu Javinom carem Asorskim i domom Evera Kenejina.
18 Jael went out to greet Sisera. She said to him, “Sir, come into my tent! Do not be afraid!” So he went into the tent [and lay down], and she covered him with a blanket.
I izide Jailja na susret Sisari, i reèe mu: skloni se, gospodaru, skloni se kod mene; ne boj se. I on se skloni kod nje u šator, i ona ga pokri pokrivaèem.
19 He said to her, “I’m thirsty; can you give me some water?” So she opened a leather container of milk, and gave him a drink. Then she covered him with the blanket again.
A on joj reèe: daj mi malo vode da se napijem, jer sam žedan. A ona otvori mijeh mlijeka i napoji ga, pa ga pokri.
20 He said to her, “Stand in the entrance of the tent. If someone comes and asks ‘Is anyone else here?’, say ‘No.’”
A on joj reèe: stoj na vratima od šatora, i ako ko doðe i zapita te i reèe: ima li tu ko? reci: nema.
21 Sisera was very exhausted, so he soon was asleep. While he was sleeping, Jael crept quietly to him, holding a hammer and a tent peg. She pounded the peg into his skull, and all the way through his head into the ground, and he died.
Tada Jailja žena Everova uze kolac od šatora, i uze malj u ruku, i pristupi k njemu polako, i satjera mu kolac kroz slijepe oèi, te proðe u zemlju, kad spavaše tvrdo umoran, i umrije.
22 When Barak passed by Jael’s tent to look for Sisera, she went out to greet him. She said, “Come in, and I will show you the man you are searching for!” So he followed her into the tent, and he saw Sisera lying there, dead, with the tent peg through his head.
I gle, Varak tjeraše Sisaru, i Jailja mu izide na susret, i reèe mu: hodi da ti pokažem èovjeka kojega tražiš. I uðe k njoj, i gle, Sisara ležaše mrtav, i kolac mu u slijepijem oèima.
23 On that day God enabled the Israelis to defeat [the army of] Jabin, the king of the people of Canaan.
Tako pokori Bog u onaj dan Javina cara Hananskoga pred sinovima Izrailjevijem.
24 From that time, the Israeli people continued to become stronger, and [the army of] King Jabin continued to become weaker. Finally the Israelis were able to completely subdue the people ruled by the king of Canaan.
I ruka sinova Izrailjevijeh bivaše sve teža Javinu caru Hananskom, dokle ne istrijebiše Javina cara Hananskoga.
