Judges 4
1 After Ehud died, the Israelis again started doing things Yahweh said were very evil.
А по смрти Аодовој опет синови Израиљеви чинише што је зло пред Господом.
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.
И Господ их даде у руке Јавину цару хананском, који владаше у Асору, а војсци његовој беше војвода Сисара, који живљаше у Аросету незнабожачком.
3 Sisera’s [army] had 900 chariots. For 20 years he oppressed the Israelis. Then they pleaded to Yahweh to help them.
И синови Израиљеви вапише ка Господу; јер он имаше девет стотина гвоздених кола, и веома притешњаваше синове Израиљеве двадесет година.
4 At that time Deborah, who was the wife of Lappidoth, was a prophetess who had become the leader in Israel.
У то време Девора пророчица, жена Лафидотова, суђаше Израиљу.
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.
И Девора становаше под палмом између Раме и Ветиља у гори Јефремовој, и долажаху к њој синови Израиљеви на суд.
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.
А она пославши дозва Варака сина Авинејемова из Кедеса Нефталимовог, и рече му: Није ли заповедио Господ Бог Израиљев: Иди, скупи народ на гори Тавор, и узми са собом десет хиљада људи између синова Нефталимових и синова Завулонових?
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.’”
Јер ћу довести к теби на поток Кисон Сисару војводу Јавиновог и кола његова и људство његово, и предаћу га теби у руке.
8 Barak replied, “I will go only if you go with me.”
А Варак јој рече: Ако ћеш ти ићи са мном, ићи ћу; ако ли нећеш ићи са мном, нећу ићи.
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].”
А она рече: Ја ћу ићи с тобом, али нећеш имати славе на путу којим ћеш ићи; јер ће жени у руку дати Господ Сисару. И уставши Девора отиде с Вараком у Кедес.
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].
И Варак сазвавши синове Завулонове и Нефталимове у Кедес, поведе са собом десет хиљада људи; и Девора иђаше с њим.
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.
А Евер Кенејин беше се одвојио од Кенеја, од синова Овава таста Мојсијевог, и беше разапео свој шатор код храстова занајимских, а то је код Кедеса.
12 Someone told Sisera that Barak had gone up on Tabor Mountain [with an army].
И јавише Сисари да је изашао Варак син Авинејемов на гору Тавор.
13 So he gathered his troops with their 900 chariots, and they marched from Harosheth-Haggoyim to the Kishon River.
И Сисара скупи сва кола своја, девет стотина кола гвоздених, и сав народ који беше с њим од Аросета незнабожачкога до потока Кисона.
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.
Тада рече Девора Вараку: Устани, јер је ово дан, у који ти даде Господ Сисару у руке. Не иде ли Господ пред тобом? И Варак сиђе с горе Тавора, и десет хиљада људи за њим.
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.
И Господ смете Сисару и сва кола његова и сву војску оштрим мачем пред Вараком; и Сисара сиђе с кола својих и побеже пешице.
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.
А Варак потера кола и војску до Аросета незнабожачкога; и паде сва војска Сисарина од оштрог мача, не оста ниједан.
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.
А Сисара утече пешице до шатора Јаиље жене Евера Кенејина; јер беше мир међу Јавином царем асорским и домом Евера Кенејина.
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.
И изиђе Јаиља на сусрет Сисари, и рече му: Склони се, господару, склони се код мене; не бој се. И он се склони код ње у шатор, и она га покри покривачем.
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.
А он јој рече: Дај ми мало воде да се напијем, јер сам жедан. А она отвори мех млека и напоји га, па га покри.
20 He said to her, “Stand in the entrance of the tent. If someone comes and asks ‘Is anyone else here?’, say ‘No.’”
А он јој рече: Стој на вратима од шатора, и ако ко дође и запита те и рече: Има ли ту ко? Реци: Нема.
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.
Тада Јаиља жена Еверова узе колац од шатора, и узе маљ у руку, и приступи к њему полако, и сатера му колац кроз слепе очи, те прође у земљу, кад спаваше тврдо уморан, и умре.
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.
И гле, Варак тераше Сисару, и Јаиља му изиђе на сусрет, и рече му: Ходи да ти покажем човека ког тражиш. И уђе к њој, и гле Сисара лежаше мртав, и колац му у слепим очима.
23 On that day God enabled the Israelis to defeat [the army of] Jabin, the king of the people of Canaan.
Тако покори Бог у онај дан Јавина цара хананског пред синовима Израиљевим.
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.
И рука синова Израиљевих биваше све тежа Јавину цару хананском, докле не истребише Јавина цара хананског.
