< Judges 5 >

1 On that day, Deborah sang this song, along with Barak:
Potem sta Debóra in Abinóamov sin Barák tisti dan zapela, rekoč:
2 “When the leaders of the Israeli people really lead them, and the people follow them, [it is time to] praise Yahweh!
»Hvalite Gospoda za maščevanje Izraela, ko se je ljudstvo voljno darovalo.
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.
Poslušajte, oh vi kralji, pazljivo prisluhnite, oh vi princi. Jaz, celó jaz, bom prepevala Gospodu. Prepevala bom hvalo Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu.
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.
Gospod, ko si šel iz Seírja, ko si korakal ven iz edómskega polja, je zemlja trepetala in nebo je kapljalo, tudi oblaki so kapljali vodo.
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.
Gore so se topile pred Gospodom, celó tisti Sinaj pred Gospodom, Izraelovim Bogom.
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].
V dneh Anátovega sina Šamgárja, v dneh Jaéle, so bile glavne ceste prazne in popotniki so hodili po stranskih poteh.
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.
Prebivalci vasi so prenehali, prenehali so v Izraelu, dokler nisem vstala jaz, Debóra, ki sem vstala, mati v 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.
Izbrali so nove bogove. Potem je bila vojna v velikih vratih. Ali sta bila ščit ali sulica videna med štiridesetimi tisoči v Izraelu?
9 I am thankful for the leaders and soldiers who volunteered [to fight]. Praise Yahweh [for them!]
Moje srce je [nagnjeno] k Izraelovim voditeljem, ki so se voljno darovali med ljudstvom. Blagoslavljajte Gospoda.
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!
Govorite, vi, ki jahate na belih oslih, vi, ki sedite na sodbi in hodite po poti.
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.
Tisti, ki so bili osvobojeni pred hrupom lokostrelcev na krajih zajemanj vode, bodo tam ponavljali Gospodova pravična dejanja, celó pravična dejanja do prebivalcev njegovih vasi v Izraelu. Potem bo Gospodovo ljudstvo šlo dol k velikim vratom.
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!’
Prebudi se, prebudi se, Debóra. Prebudi se, prebudi se, izusti pesem. Vstani Barák in vodí svoje ujeto ujetništvo, ti, Abinóamov sin.
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.
Potem je naredil tistega, ki preostane, da ima gospostvo nad plemiči izmed ljudstva. Gospod me je naredil, da imam gospostvo nad mogočnimi.
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 Efrájima je bila tam korenina tistih zoper Amáleka. Za teboj, Benjamin, med tvojim ljudstvom. Iz Mahírja so prišli dol voditelji in iz Zábulona tisti, ki vlečejo pisalo pisca.
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.
Isahárjevi princi so bili z Debóro, celo Isahár in tudi Barák. Peš je bil poslan v dolino. Zaradi Rubenovih oddelkov so bile velike misli srca.
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.
Zakaj ostajaš med ovčjimi stajami, da poslušaš blejanje tropov? Zaradi Rubenovih oddelkov so bila velika preiskovanja srca.
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.
Gileád je prebival onkraj Jordana in zakaj je Dan ostal v ladjah? Aser je nadaljeval na morski obali in prebival v svojih vrzelih.
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.
Zábulon in Neftáli sta bila ljudstvi, ki sta izpostavili svoja življenja smrti na visokih krajih polja.
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.
Kralji so prišli in se bojevali, potem so se pri vodah Megída v Taanáhu bojevali kánaanski kralji; nobenega dobička od denarja niso vzeli.
20 [It was as though] the stars in the sky fought for us [and as though] those stars in their paths fought against Sisera.
Vojskovali so se z neba. Zvezde na svojih orbitah so se bojevale zoper Siserája.
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.
Reka Kišón jih je odplavila, ta starodavna reka, reka Kišón. Oh moja duša, pomendrala si moč.
22 The hooves of the horses of Sisera’s [army] pounded the ground. Those powerful horses kept galloping along.
Potem so bila konjska kopita zlomljena zaradi razloga drvenj, drvenj njihovih mogočnih.
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].’
›Prekolnite Meróz, ‹ je rekel Gospodov angel, grenko prekolnite njegove prebivalce, ker niso prišli na pomoč Gospodu, na pomoč Gospodu zoper mogočnega.‹
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 nad ženami naj bo Jaéla, žena Kenéjca Heberja, blagoslovljena nad ženami naj bo v šotoru.
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.
Prosil je vode in dala mu je mleko. V gosposki skledi je prinesla maslo.
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.
Svojo roko je iztegnila h klinu in svojo desnico k delavčevemu kladivu in s kladivom je udarila Siserája, zdrobila mu je glavo, ko jo je predrla in udarila skozi njegova sènca.
27 He collapsed and fell dead at her feet.
Ob njenih stopalih se je upognil, padel je, ulegel se je. Ob njenih stopalih se je upognil, padel je. Kjer se je upognil, tam je mrtev padel dol.
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?’
Siserájeva mati je pogledala skozi okno in zaklicala skozi mrežo: ›Zakaj se njegov bojni voz tako dolgo mudi? Zakaj se mudijo kolesa njegovih bojnih vozov?‹
29 One wise woman replied to her, and she [kept consoling herself by] repeating those words:
Njene modre gospe so ji odgovorile, da, sebi je vrnila odgovor:
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.’
›Ali niso pohiteli? Ali niso razdelili plena; vsakemu možu gospodično ali dve. Siseráju plen številnih barv, plen številnih barv vezenine, številnih barv vezenine na obeh straneh, primerne za vratove tistih, ki jemljejo plen?‹
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 naj vsi tvoji sovražniki propadejo, oh Gospod, toda naj bodo tisti, ki ga ljubijo, kakor sonce, ko vzide v svoji moči.« In dežela je imela štirideset let počitek.
