Judges 5
1 And Deborah singeth — also Barak son of Abinoam — on that day, saying: —
Da sang Debora og Barnk, Abinoams Søn, denne Sang:
2 'For freeing freemen in Israel, For a people willingly offering themselves Bless ye Jehovah.
Frem stod Høvdinger i Israel, Folket gav villigt Møde, lover HERREN!
3 Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, to Jehovah, I — I do sing, I sing praise to Jehovah, God of Israel.
Hør, I Konger, lyt, I Fyrster: Synge vil jeg, synge for HERREN, lovsynge HERREN, Israels Gud!
4 Jehovah, in Thy going forth out of Seir, In Thy stepping out of the field of Edom, Earth trembled, also the heavens dropped, Also thick clouds dropped water.
HERRE, da du brød op fra Seir, skred frem fra Edoms Mark, da rystede Jorden, Himmelen drypped, Skyerne drypped af Vand;
5 Hills flowed from the face of Jehovah, This one — Sinai — From the face of Jehovah, God of Israel.
Bjergene bæved for HERRENs Åsyn, for HERREN Israels Guds Åsyn!
6 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath — In the days of Jael — The ways have ceased, And those going in the paths go [in] crooked ways.
I Sjamgars, Anats Søns, Dage, i Jaels Dage lå Vejene øde, vejfarende sneg sig ad afsides Stier;
7 Villages ceased in Israel — they ceased, Till that I arose — Deborah, That I arose, a mother in Israel.
der var ingen Fører i Israel mer, til jeg Debora stod frem, stod frem, en Moder i Israel.
8 He chooseth new gods, Then war [is] at the gates! A shield is not seen — and a spear Among forty thousand in Israel.
Ofre til Gud hørte op, med Bygbrødet fik det en Ende. Så man vel Skjold eller Spyd hos Israels fyrretyve Tusind?
9 My heart [is] to the lawgivers of Israel, Who are offering themselves willingly among the people, Bless ye Jehovah!
For Israels Førere slår mit Hjerte, for de villige af Folket! Lover HERREN!
10 Riders on white asses — Sitters on a long robe — And walkers by the way — meditate!
I, som rider på rødgrå Æsler, I, som sidder på Tæpper, I, som færdes på Vejene, syng!
11 By the voice of shouters Between the places of drawing water, There they give out righteous acts of Jehovah, Righteous acts of His villages in Israel, Then ruled in the gates have the people of Jehovah.
Hør, hvor de spiller mellem Vandtrugene! Der lovsynger de HERRENs Frelsesværk, hans Værk som Israels Fører. Da drog HERRENs Folk ned til Portene.
12 Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, utter a song; Rise, Barak, and take captive thy captivity, Son of Abinoam.
Op, op, Debora, op, op, istem din Sang! Barak, stå op! Fang dig Fanger, du Abinoams Søn!
13 Then him who is left of the honourable ones He caused to rule the people of Jehovah, He caused me to rule among the mighty.
Da drog Israel ned som Helte, som vældige Krigere drog HERRENs Folk frem.
14 Out of Ephraim their root [is] against Amalek. After thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples. Out of Machir came down lawgivers, And out of Zebulun those drawing with the reed of a writer.
Fra Efraim steg de ned i Dalen, din broder Benjamin var blandt dine Skarer. Fra Makir drog Høvedsmænd ned, fra Zebulon de, der bar Herskerstav;
15 And princes in Issachar [are] with Deborah, Yea, Issachar [is] right with Barak, Into the valley he was sent on his feet. In the divisions of Reuben, Great [are] the decrees of heart!
Issakars Førere fulgte Debora, Naftali Baraks Spor, de fulgte ham ned i Dalen. Ved Rubens Bække var Betænkelighederne store.
16 Why hast thou abode between the boundaries, To hear lowings of herds? For the divisions of Reuben, Great [are] the searchings of heart!
Hvorfor blev du mellem Foldene for at lytte til Hyrdernes Fløjter? Ved Rubens Bække var Betænkelighederne store!
17 Gilead beyond the Jordan did tabernacle, And Dan — why doth he sojourn [in] ships? Asher hath abode at the haven of the seas, And by his creeks doth tabernacle.
Gilead blev på hin Side Jordan, og Dan, hvi søgte han fremmed Hyre? Aser sad stille ved Havets Strand; han blev ved sine Vige.
18 Zebulun [is] a people who exposed its soul to death, Naphtali also — on high places of the field.
Zebulon var et Folk, der vovede Livet, Naftali med på Markens Høje.
19 Kings came — they fought; Then fought kings of Canaan, In Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; Gain of money they took not!
Kongerne kom, de kæmped; da kæmped Kana'ans Konger ved Ta'anak, ved Megiddos Vande de fanged ej Sølv som Bytte!
20 From the heavens they fought: The stars from their highways fought with Sisera.
Fra Himmelen kæmped Stjernerne, fra deres Baner stred de mod Sisera!
21 The brook Kishon swept them away, The brook most ancient — the brook Kishon. Thou dost tread down strength, O my soul!
Kisjon Bæk rev dem bort, Kisjons Bæk, den ældgamle Bæk. Træd frem, min Sjæl, med Styrke!
22 Then broken were the horse-heels, By pransings — pransings of its mighty ones.
Da stampede Hestenes Hove under Heltenes jagende Fart.
23 Curse Meroz — said a messenger of Jehovah, Cursing, curse ye its inhabitants, For they came not to the help of Jehovah, To the help of Jehovah among the mighty!
"Forband", sagde HERRENs Engel "forband Meroz og dem, der bor deri! fordi de ikke kom HERREN til Hjælp kom HERREN til Hjælp som Helte!"
24 Blessed above women is Jael, Wife of Heber the Kenite, Above women in the tent she is blessed.
Velsignet blandt Kvinder være Jael, Keniten Hebers Hustru, velsignet blandt Kvinder i Telte!
25 Water he asked — milk she gave; In a lordly dish she brought near butter.
Han bad om Vand, hun gav ham Mælk, frembar Surmælk i kostbar Skål.
26 Her hand to the pin she sendeth forth, And her right hand to the labourers' hammer, And she hammered Sisera — she smote his head, Yea, she smote, and it passed through his temple.
Med Hånden griber hun Pælen, med sin højre Arbejdshammeren, fælder Sisera, kløver hans Hoved, knuser, gennemborer hans Tinding.
27 Between her feet he bowed — He fell, he lay down; Between her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell — destroyed.
For hendes Fødder han segned og faldt; der, hvor han segned, der lå han fældet!
28 Through the window she hath looked out — Yea, she crieth out — the mother of Sisera, Through the lattice: Wherefore is his chariot delaying to come? Wherefore tarried have the steps of his chariot?
Gennem Vinduet spejded Siseras Moder, gennem Gitteret stirred hun ud: "Hvi tøver hans Vogn med at komme? Hvi nøler hans Forspands Hovslag?"
29 The wise ones, her princesses, answer her, Yea, she returneth her sayings to herself:
Da svarer den klogeste af hendes Fruer, og selv hun giver sig samme Svar: "Sikkert de deler det vundne Bytte, en Pige eller to til Mands,
30 Do they not find? — they apportion spoil, A female — two females — for every head, Spoil of finger-work for Sisera, Spoil of embroidered finger-work, Finger-work — a pair of embroidered things, For the necks of the spoil!
Bytte af spraglede Tøj er til Sisera, et broget Klæde eller to til hans Hals!"
31 So do all Thine enemies perish, O Jehovah, And those loving Him [are] As the going out of the sun in its might!' and the land resteth forty years.
Således skal alle dine Fjender forgå, HERRE, men de, der elsker dig, skal være, som når Sol går op i sin Vælde! Derpå havde Landet Ro i fyrretyve År.
