Judges 5
1 On that day, Deborah sang this song, along with Barak:
В тот день воспела Девора и Варак, сын Авиноамов, сими словами:
2 “When the leaders of the Israeli people really lead them, and the people follow them, [it is time to] praise Yahweh!
Израиль отмщен, народ показал рвение; прославьте Господа!
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.
Слушайте, цари, внимайте, вельможи: я Господу, я пою, бряцаю Господу Богу Израилеву.
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.
Когда выходил Ты, Господи, от Сеира, когда шел с поля Едомского, тогда земля тряслась, и небо капало, и облака проливали воду;
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.
горы таяли от лица Господа, даже этот Синай от лица Господа Бога Израилева.
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].
Во дни Самегара, сына Анафова, во дни Иаили, были пусты дороги, и ходившие прежде путями прямыми ходили тогда окольными дорогами.
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.
Не стало обитателей в селениях у Израиля, не стало, доколе не восстала я, Девора, доколе не восстала я, мать в Израиле.
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.
Избрали новых богов, оттого война у ворот. Виден ли был щит и копье у сорока тысяч Израиля?
9 I am thankful for the leaders and soldiers who volunteered [to fight]. Praise Yahweh [for them!]
Сердце мое к вам, начальники Израилевы, к ревнителям в народе; прославьте Господа!
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!
Ездящие на ослицах белых, сидящие на коврах и ходящие по дороге, пойте песнь!
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.
Среди голосов собирающих стада при колодезях, там да воспоют хвалу Господу, хвалу вождям Израиля! Тогда выступил ко вратам народ Господень.
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!’
Воспряни, воспряни, Девора! воспряни, воспряни! воспой песнь! Восстань, Варак! и веди пленников твоих, сын Авиноамов!
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.
Тогда немногим из сильных подчинил Он народ; Господь подчинил мне храбрых.
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.
От Ефрема пришли укоренившиеся в земле Амалика; за тобою Вениамин, среди народа твоего; от Махира шли начальники, и от Завулона владеющие тростью писца.
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.
И князья Иссахаровы с Деворою, и Иссахар так же, как Варак, бросился в долину пеший. В племенах Рувимовых большое разногласие.
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.
Что сидишь ты между овчарнями, слушая блеяние стад? В племенах Рувимовых большое разногласие.
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.
Галаад живет спокойно за Иорданом, и Дану чего бояться с кораблями? Асир сидит на берегу моря и у пристаней своих живет спокойно.
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.
Завулон - народ, обрекший душу свою на смерть, и Неффалим - на высотах поля.
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.
Пришли цари, сразились, тогда сразились цари Ханаанские в Фанаахе у вод Мегиддонских, но не получили нимало серебра.
20 [It was as though] the stars in the sky fought for us [and as though] those stars in their paths fought against Sisera.
С неба сражались, звезды с путей своих сражались с Сисарою.
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.
Поток Киссон увлек их, поток Кедумим, поток Киссон. Попирай, душа моя, силу!
22 The hooves of the horses of Sisera’s [army] pounded the ground. Those powerful horses kept galloping along.
Тогда ломались копыта конские от побега, от побега сильных его.
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].’
Прокляните Мероз, говорит Ангел Господень, прокляните, прокляните жителей его за то, что не пришли на помощь Господу, на помощь Господу с храбрыми.
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.
Да будет благословенна между женами Иаиль, жена Хевера Кенеянина, между женами в шатрах да будет благословенна!
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.
Воды просил он: молока подала она, в чаше вельможеской принесла молока лучшего.
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.
Левую руку свою протянула к колу, а правую свою к молоту работников; ударила Сисару, поразила голову его, разбила и пронзила висок его.
27 He collapsed and fell dead at her feet.
К ногам ее склонился, пал и лежал, к ногам ее склонился, пал; где склонился, там и пал сраженный.
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?’
В окно выглядывает и вопит мать Сисарина сквозь решетку: что долго не идет конница его, что медлят колеса колесниц его?
29 One wise woman replied to her, and she [kept consoling herself by] repeating those words:
Умные из ее женщин отвечают ей, и сама она отвечает на слова свои:
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.’
верно, они нашли, делят добычу, по девице, по две девицы на каждого воина, в добычу полученная разноцветная одежда Сисаре, полученная в добычу разноцветная одежда, вышитая с обеих сторон, снятая с плеч пленника.
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!
Так да погибнут все враги Твои, Господи! Любящие же Его да будут как солнце, восходящее во всей силе своей! - И покоилась земля сорок лет.
