Judges 5
1 On that day, Deborah sang this song, along with Barak:
Toga dana Debora i Barak, sin Abinoamov, zapjevaše ovu pjesmu:
2 “When the leaders of the Israeli people really lead them, and the people follow them, [it is time to] praise Yahweh!
Ratoborno rasuše kose borci izraelski i dragovoljno krenu narod: blagoslivljajte Jahvu!
3 Listen, you kings! Pay attention, you leaders! I will sing to Yahweh. With this song I will praise Yahweh, the God we Israelis worship.
Čujte, o kraljevi! Poslušajte, knezovi! Jahvi ja pjesmu pjevam, Jahvu, Boga Izraelova, ja slavim.
4 O Yahweh, when you came from Seir, when you marched from that land [better known as] Edom, the earth shook, and rain poured down from the skies.
Sa Seira kad si silazio, Jahve, pobjednički kad si kročio iz polja edomskih, sva se zemlja tresla, lila se nebesa, oblaci curkom daždjeli.
5 The mountains shook when you came, just like Sinai Mountain shook when you appeared there, because you are Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship.
Brda se tresla pred tobom, o Jahve, Jahve, Bože Izraelov!
6 “When Shamgar was our leader and when Jael ruled us, [we were afraid to walk on] the main roads; instead, caravans of travelers walked on winding [less traveled] roads [to avoid being molested].
U dane Šamgara, sina Anatova, u dane Jaele opustješe putovi; i oni koji su putovali, obilažahu naokolo.
7 People left their small villages, [and moved into the walled cities] until I, Deborah, became their leader. [I became like] a mother to the Israeli people.
Pusta bijahu sela izraelska dok ne ustadoh ja, Debora, dok ne ustadoh kao majka Izraelu.
8 When the Israeli people [abandoned Yahweh and] chose new gods, enemies attacked the gates of the cities, and then [they took away] the shields and spears from 40,000 Israeli soldiers. Not one shield or spear was left.
Tuđe bogove sebi izabraše, i zato im rat stade pred vrata. Za pet gradova ne bi nijednog štita! Nijednog kralja za četrdeset tisuća u Izraelu!
9 I am thankful for the leaders and soldiers who volunteered [to fight]. Praise Yahweh [for them!]
Srce moje kuca za vođe izraelske, za narod što dragovoljno u boj kreće! Blagoslivljajte Jahvu!
10 “You wealthy people who ride on donkeys, sitting on nice padded saddles, and you people who just walk on the road, you all listen!
Vi koji na bijelim jašete magaricama, na sagovima sjedeći, i vi koji hodite putovima, pjevajte,
11 Listen to the voices of the singers who gather at the places where [the animals drink] water. They tell about how Yahweh acted righteously when he enabled the Israeli warriors to conquer [their enemies]. “Yahweh’s people marched down to the gates of our city.
uz povike razdraganih pastira kod pojila. Neka se slave dobročinstva Jahvina i vladavina njegova Izraelom! I narod Jahvin siđe na vrata.
12 The people came to my house and shouted, ‘Deborah, wake up! Wake up and start singing!’ They also shouted, ‘Barak, son of Abinoam, get up, and capture our enemies!’
Probudi se, Deboro, ustani! Ustani, pjesmu zapjevaj! Hrabro! Ustani, Barače, vodi u roblje porobljivače svoje, sine Abinoamov!
13 Later, some of the Israeli people came down [from Tabor Mountain] with us, their leaders. These men who belonged to Yahweh came with me to fight their strong enemies.
Tad siđe na vrata Izrael, narod Jahvin pohrli junački.
14 Some came from the tribe descended from Ephraim. They came from land that once belonged to the descendants of Amalek. And men from the tribe descended from Benjamin followed them. Troops from the group descended from Makir also came down, and officers from the tribe descended from Zebulun came down, carrying staffs.
Iz Efrajima potekoše u dolinu, za njima stiže među čete tvoje Benjamin. Iz Makira stupaju glavari, iz Zebuluna oni što nose štap zapovjednički.
15 Leaders from the tribes descended from Issachar joined Barak and me. They followed Barak, rushing down into the valley. But men from the tribe descended from Reuben could not decide whether or not to join us.
Knezovi Jisakarovi s Deborom bjehu, a Naftali pođe s Barakom, pohrli da ga stigne u dolini. Kod Rubenovih potoka dugo se savjetuju.
16 Why did you men stay at your sheep pens, waiting to hear the shepherds whistle for their flocks of sheep to come to the pens? Men in the tribe descended from Reuben could not decide whether they would join us to fight our enemies, or not.
Zašto si ostao u torovima da slušaš sred stada svirku frule? Kod Rubenovih potoka dugo se savjetuju.
17 Similarly, the men living in the Gilead area stayed at home, east of the Jordan River. And the men from the tribe descended from Dan, why did they stay home? The tribe descended from Asher sat by the seashore. They stayed in their coves.
Gilead osta s onu stranu Jordana. A zašto je Dan na stranim lađama? Zašto na obali mora Ašer sjedi, mirno prebiva u svojim zaljevima?
18 But men from the tribe descended from Zebulun risked (their lives/were ready to die fighting) on the battlefield, and men descended from Naphtali were ready to do that, also.
Zebulun je narod što prkosi smrti s Naftalijem, na visoravnima.
19 “The kings of Canaan fought us at Taanach, near the springs in Megiddo [Valley]. [But since they did not defeat us], they did not carry away any silver or other treasures from the battle.
Došli su kraljevi, boj zametnuli, boj bili kraljevi kanaanski, u Tanaku, na vodi megidskoj, al' ni mrve srebra ne dobiše.
20 [It was as though] the stars in the sky fought for us [and as though] those stars in their paths fought against Sisera.
Sa nebeskih staza vojevahu, vojevahu zvijezde prot' Siseri.
21 The Kishon River swept them away— that river that has been there for ages. I will tell myself to be brave and continue marching on.
Sve otplavi potok Kišon, potok Kišon pradavni. Gazi čvrsto, moja dušo!
22 The hooves of the horses of Sisera’s [army] pounded the ground. Those powerful horses kept galloping along.
Topot silan odjekuje: jure borci na konjima!
23 The angel sent by Yahweh said, ‘Curse the people of Meroz [town], because they did not come to help Yahweh to defeat the mighty warriors [of Canaan].’
“Proklinjite Meroz,” Anđeo će Jahvin, “proklinjite žitelje njegove što Jahvi nisu u pomoć pritekli, u pomoć Jahvi s junacima.”
24 “But God is very pleased with Jael, the wife of Heber from the Ken people-group. He is more pleased with her than with all the other women who live in tents.
Blagoslovljena među ženama bila Jaela, žena Hebera Kenijca, među ženama šatora nek' je slavljena!
25 Sisera asked for some water, but Jael gave him some milk. She brought him some yogurt/curds in a bowl that was suitable for kings.
On vode zaiska, mlijeka mu ona dade, u zdjelu dragocjenu nali mu povlake.
26 Then, [when he was asleep], she reached for a tent peg with her left hand, and she reached for a hammer with her right hand. She hit Sisera hard with it and crushed his head. She pounded the tent peg right through his head.
Rukom lijevom za klinom segnu, a desnom za čekićem kovačkim. Udari Siseru, glavu mu razmrska, probode mu, razbi sljepoočicu.
27 He collapsed and fell dead at her feet.
Do nogu pade joj, sruši se, leže, do nogu pade joj, sruši se; i gdje pade, mrtav osta.
28 “Sisera’s mother looked out from her window. She waited for him to return. She said, ‘Why is he taking so long to come home in his chariot? Why don’t I hear the sound of the wheels of his chariot?’
Kroz prozor motri Siserina mati, kroz prozor motri, na rešetku jÓada: “Dugo mu se kola ne vraćaju: što im je zapreg tako spor?”
29 One wise woman replied to her, and she [kept consoling herself by] repeating those words:
Najmudrija zbori joj dvorkinja, sebi samoj ona odgovara:
30 ‘Perhaps they are dividing up the things and the people they captured after the battle. Each soldier will get one or two women. Sisera will get some beautiful robes, and some beautiful embroidered robes for me.’
“Plijen su našli pa ga dijele: po djevojku na ratnika, po djevojku i po dvije, halju-dvije za Siseru, vezen rubac za moj vrat!”
31 But [that is not what happened]! Yahweh, I hope that all your enemies will die as Sisera did! And I desire that all those who love you will be as strong as the sun when it rises!
Tako neka ginu, Jahve, svi neprijatelji tvoji! A oni koji te ljube nek budu kao sunce kada se diže u svojemu sjaju! I zemlja bijaše mirna četrdeset godina.
