< Judges 4 >

1 And the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah when Ehud is dead,
Poslije smrti Ehudove Izraelci su opet stali činiti što Jahvi nije po volji
2 and Jehovah selleth them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who hath reigned in Hazor, and the head of his host [is] Sisera, and he is dwelling in Harosheth of the Goyim;
i Jahve ih predade u ruke Jabinu, kanaanskom kralju koji je vladao u Hasoru. Vojskovođa vojsci njegovoj bijaše Sisera, koji je živio u Harošetu Poganskom.
3 and the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, for he hath nine hundred chariots of iron, and he hath oppressed the sons of Israel mightily twenty years.
Tad Izraelci zavapiše Jahvi. Jer Jabin imaše devet stotina željeznih bojnih kola i teško je tlačio Izraelce dvadeset godina.
4 And Deborah, a woman inspired, wife of Lapidoth, she is judging Israel at that time,
U to vrijeme Izraelu je sudila proročica Debora, žena Lapidotova.
5 and she is dwelling under the palm-tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Beth-El, in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the sons of Israel go up unto her for judgment.
Živjela je pod Deborinom palmom između Rame i Betela u Efrajimovoj gori i k njoj su dolazili Izraelci da presuđuje u njihovim sporovima.
6 And she sendeth and calleth for Barak son of Abinoam, out of Kedesh-Naphtali, and saith unto him, 'Hath not Jehovah, God of Israel, commanded? go, and thou hast drawn towards mount Tabor, and hast taken with thee ten thousand men, out of the sons of Naphtali, and out of the sons of Zebulun,
Ona dozva Baraka, sina Abinoamova, iz Naftalijeva Kedeša i reče mu: “Evo što ti Jahve, Bog Izraelov, zapovijeda: 'Idi, kreni na goru Tabor i uzmi sa sobom deset tisuća ljudi između Naftalijevih i Zebulunovih sinova.
7 and I have drawn unto thee, unto the brook Kishon, Sisera, head of the host of Jabin, and his chariot, and his multitude, and have given him into thy hand.'
Ja ću k tebi na Kišonski potok privući Siseru, vojskovođu Jabinove vojske, s njegovim bojnim kolima i svim ratnicima te ću ga predati u tvoje ruke.'”
8 And Barak saith unto her, 'If thou dost go with me, then I have gone; and if thou dost not go with me, I do not go;'
Barak joj odgovori: “Ako ti pođeš sa mnom, ići ću; ako li ne pođeš sa mnom, ne idem.”
9 and she saith, 'I do certainly go with thee; only, surely thy glory is not on the way which thou art going, for into the hand of a woman doth Jehovah sell Sisera;' and Deborah riseth and goeth with Barak to Kedesh.
“Idem s tobom”, reče mu ona, “ali na putu kojim ćeš poći slava neće tebi pripasti jer će Jahve ženi predati u ruke Siseru.” Tada Debora ustane i pođe s Barakom u Kedeš.
10 And Barak calleth Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and he goeth up — at his feet [are] ten thousand men — and Deborah goeth up with him.
Onamo je Barak pozvao Zebuluna i Naftalija. Deset tisuća ljudi pođe za njim, a išla je s njim i Debora.
11 And Heber the Kenite hath been separated from the Kenite, from the sons of Hobab father-in-law of Moses, and he stretcheth out his tent unto the oak in Zaanaim, which [is] by Kedesh.
Heber Kenijac bijaše se odvojio od Kajina, jednoga od sinova Hababa, tasta Mojsijeva; razapeo je svoj šator kod Hrasta u Saananimu, nedaleko od Kedeša.
12 And they declare to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam hath gone up to mount Tabor,
Javiše Siseri da je Barak, sin Abinoamov, izašao na goru Tabor.
13 and Sisera calleth all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who [are] with him, from Harosheth of the Goyim, unto the brook Kishon.
Nato Sisera sabra sva svoja kola, devet stotina željeznih kola, i sve ljude koje je doveo od Harošeta Poganskog do Kišonskog potoka.
14 And Deborah saith unto Barak, 'Rise, for this [is] the day in which Jehovah hath given Sisera into thy hand; hath not Jehovah gone out before thee?' And Barak goeth down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Debora reče Baraku: “Ustani, evo dana kada će Jahve predati Siseru u tvoje ruke! Sam Jahve ide pred tobom!” I Barak siđe s gore Tabora sa deset tisuća ljudi za sobom.
15 And Jehovah destroyeth Sisera, and all the chariots, and all the camp, by the mouth of the sword, before Barak, and Sisera cometh down from off the chariot, and fleeth on his feet.
Jahve zastraši Siseru, sva njegova kola i čitavu njegovu vojsku, koja naže u bijeg pred mačem Barakovim. Sisera siđe sa svojih kola i pobježe pješice.
16 And Barak hath pursued after the chariots and after the camp, unto Harosheth of the Goyim, and all the camp of Sisera falleth by the mouth of the sword — there hath not been left even one.
Barak je gonio kola i vojsku sve do Harošeta Poganskog. Sva je Siserina vojska pala od oštrog mača i nijedan čovjek nije umakao.
17 And Sisera hath fled on his feet unto the tent of Jael wife of Heber the Kenite, for peace [is] between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite;
Sisera je dotle bježao pješice prema šatoru Jaele, žene Hebera Kenijca, jer između Jabina, kralja hasorskog, i kuće Hebera Kenijca bijaše mir.
18 and Jael goeth out to meet Sisera, and saith unto him, 'Turn aside, my lord, turn aside unto me, fear not;' and he turneth aside unto her, into the tent, and she covereth him with a coverlet.
Jaela iziđe Siseri u susret i reče mu: “Zaustavi se, gospodaru, svrati se k meni. Ne boj se ničega!” On svrati k njoj pod šator, a ona ga pokri pokrivačem.
19 And he saith unto her, 'Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water, for I am thirsty;' and she openeth the bottle of milk, and giveth him to drink, and covereth him.
On joj reče: “Daj mi malo vode jer sam žedan.” Ona otvori mijeh s mlijekom, napoji ga i opet ga pokri.
20 And he saith unto her, 'Stand at the opening of the tent, and it hath been, if any doth come in, and hath asked thee, and said, Is there a man here? that thou hast said, There is not.'
“Stani na ulazu u šator”, reče joj on, “pa ako tko naiđe i zapita te: 'Ima li tu koga?' ti odgovori: 'Nema!'”
21 And Jael wife of Heber taketh the pin of the tent, and taketh the hammer in her hand, and goeth unto him gently, and striketh the pin into his temples, and it fasteneth in the earth — and he hath been fast asleep, and is weary — and he dieth.
A Jaela, žena Heberova, uze šatorski klin i čekić u ruke, tiho mu se približi i zabi mu klin kroza sljepoočice tako da se zario u zemlju. On od iscrpljenosti bijaše tvrdo zaspao i tako umrije.
22 And lo, Barak is pursuing Sisera, and Jael cometh out to meet him, and saith to him, 'Come, and I shew thee the man whom thou art seeking;' and he cometh in unto her, and lo, Sisera is fallen — dead, and the pin in his temples.
I gle, dođe Barak progoneći Siseru. Jaela iziđe preda nj i reče mu: “Dođi da ti pokažem čovjeka koga tražiš.” On uđe k njoj, i gle - Sisera ležaše mrtav, s klinom u sljepoočici.
23 And God humbleth on that day Jabin king of Canaan before the sons of Israel,
Tako je Bog u onaj dan ponizio Jabina, kralja kanaanskog, pred Izraelcima.
24 and the hand of the sons of Israel goeth, going on and becoming hard on Jabin king of Canaan, till that they have cut off Jabin king of Canaan.
Ruka Izraelaca postajaše sve teža Jabinu, kralju kanaanskom, dok ga nije napokon zatrla.
