< Judges 5 >

1 Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
Toga dana Debora i Barak, sin Abinoamov, zapjevaše ovu pjesmu:
2 Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
Ratoborno rasuše kose borci izraelski i dragovoljno krenu narod: blagoslivljajte Jahvu!
3 Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, [even] I, will sing to the LORD; I will sing [praise] to the LORD God of Israel.
Čujte, o kraljevi! Poslušajte, knezovi! Jahvi ja pjesmu pjevam, Jahvu, Boga Izraelova, ja slavim.
4 LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.
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 melted from before the LORD, [even] that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.
Brda se tresla pred tobom, o Jahve, Jahve, Bože Izraelov!
6 In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travelers walked through by-ways.
U dane Šamgara, sina Anatova, u dane Jaele opustješe putovi; i oni koji su putovali, obilažahu naokolo.
7 [The inhabitants of] the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
Pusta bijahu sela izraelska dok ne ustadoh ja, Debora, dok ne ustadoh kao majka Izraelu.
8 They chose new gods; then [was] war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
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 My heart [is] towards the governors of Israel that offered themselves willingly among the people: Bless ye the LORD.
Srce moje kuca za vođe izraelske, za narod što dragovoljno u boj kreće! Blagoslivljajte Jahvu!
10 Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
Vi koji na bijelim jašete magaricama, na sagovima sjedeći, i vi koji hodite putovima, pjevajte,
11 [They that are delivered] from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, [even] the righteous acts [towards the inhabitants] of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.
uz povike razdraganih pastira kod pojila. Neka se slave dobročinstva Jahvina i vladavina njegova Izraelom! I narod Jahvin siđe na vrata.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah; awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
Probudi se, Deboro, ustani! Ustani, pjesmu zapjevaj! Hrabro! Ustani, Barače, vodi u roblje porobljivače svoje, sine Abinoamov!
13 Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
Tad siđe na vrata Izrael, narod Jahvin pohrli junački.
14 Out of Ephraim [was there] a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
Iz Efrajima potekoše u dolinu, za njima stiže među čete tvoje Benjamin. Iz Makira stupaju glavari, iz Zebuluna oni što nose štap zapovjednički.
15 And the princes of Issachar [were] with Deborah: even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben [there were] great thoughts of heart.
Knezovi Jisakarovi s Deborom bjehu, a Naftali pođe s Barakom, pohrli da ga stigne u dolini. Kod Rubenovih potoka dugo se savjetuju.
16 Why abodest thou among the sheep-folds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben [there were] great searchings of heart.
Zašto si ostao u torovima da slušaš sred stada svirku frule? Kod Rubenovih potoka dugo se savjetuju.
17 Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea-shore, and abode in his breaches.
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 Zebulun and Naphtali [were] a people [that] jeoparded their lives to death in the high places of the field.
Zebulun je narod što prkosi smrti s Naftalijem, na visoravnima.
19 The kings came [and] fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Tanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
Došli su kraljevi, boj zametnuli, boj bili kraljevi kanaanski, u Tanaku, na vodi megidskoj, al' ni mrve srebra ne dobiše.
20 They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Sa nebeskih staza vojevahu, vojevahu zvijezde prot' Siseri.
21 The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
Sve otplavi potok Kišon, potok Kišon pradavni. Gazi čvrsto, moja dušo!
22 Then were the horse's hoofs broken by the means of the prancings, the prancings of their mighty ones.
Topot silan odjekuje: jure borci na konjima!
23 Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly its inhabitants; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.
“Proklinjite Meroz,” Anđeo će Jahvin, “proklinjite žitelje njegove što Jahvi nisu u pomoć pritekli, u pomoć Jahvi s junacima.”
24 Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
Blagoslovljena među ženama bila Jaela, žena Hebera Kenijca, među ženama šatora nek' je slavljena!
25 He asked water, [and] she gave [him] milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
On vode zaiska, mlijeka mu ona dade, u zdjelu dragocjenu nali mu povlake.
26 She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and struck through his temples.
Rukom lijevom za klinom segnu, a desnom za čekićem kovačkim. Udari Siseru, glavu mu razmrska, probode mu, razbi sljepoočicu.
27 At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
Do nogu pade joj, sruši se, leže, do nogu pade joj, sruši se; i gdje pade, mrtav osta.
28 The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot [so] long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
Kroz prozor motri Siserina mati, kroz prozor motri, na rešetku jÓada: “Dugo mu se kola ne vraćaju: što im je zapreg tako spor?”
29 Her wise ladies answered her, yes, she returned answer to herself.
Najmudrija zbori joj dvorkinja, sebi samoj ona odgovara:
30 Have they not found; have they [not] divided the prey; to every man a damsel [or] two; to Sisera a prey of divers colors, a prey of divers colors of needle-work, of divers colors of needle-work on both sides, [meet] for the necks of [them that take] the spoil?
“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 So let all thy enemies perish, O LORD: but [let] them that love him [be] as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
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.
