Sog̒u 5
1 Tad Debora un Baraks, Abinoama, dēls, tai dienā dziedāja un sacīja:
On that day, Deborah sang this song, along with Barak:
2 Ka Israēla varenie spēcīgi rādījušies, ka ļaudis labprātīgi cēlušies, teiciet To Kungu!
“When the leaders of the Israeli people really lead them, and the people follow them, [it is time to] praise Yahweh!
3 Klausāties, ķēniņi, ņemiet vērā, lielie kungi! Tam Kungam es dziedāšu, Tam Kungam, Israēla Dievam, es dziedāšu dziesmas.
Listen, you kings! Pay attention, you leaders! I will sing to Yahweh. With this song I will praise Yahweh, the God we Israelis worship.
4 Kungs, kad Tu izgāji no Seīra un atnāci no Edoma lauka, tad zeme drebēja, un debesis pilēja, un padebeši pilēja ar ūdeni.
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.
5 Kalni izkusa Tā Kunga priekšā, pats Sinaī Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, priekšā.
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.
6 Zamgara, Anata dēla, dienās, Jaēles dienās, ceļi bija klusi, un ceļa ļaudis gāja aplinkus.
“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].
7 Klusi bija ciemi iekš Israēla, tie bija klusi, kamēr es, Debora, cēlos, kamēr es cēlos, māte iekš Israēla.
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.
8 Jaunus dievus izredzējās, tad radās karš vārtos. Vai gan redzēja bruņas, vai šķēpus pie četrdesmit tūkstošiem iekš Israēla?
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.
9 Mana sirds pieder Israēla valdniekiem, tiem ļaudīm, kas labprātīgi cēlušies. Teiciet To Kungu!
I am thankful for the leaders and soldiers who volunteered [to fight]. Praise Yahweh [for them!]
10 Kas jājat uz baltām ēzelienēm, kas sēžat uz audumiem, kas staigājat pa ceļu, dziedājiet!
“You wealthy people who ride on donkeys, sitting on nice padded saddles, and you people who just walk on the road, you all listen!
11 Kur strēlnieku balss skanēja pie ūdens akām, tur slavē Tā Kunga taisnos darbus, tos taisnos darbus pie Viņa ciemiem iekš Israēla. Tad Tā Kunga ļaudis pārgāja savos vārtos.
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.
12 Modies, modies, Debora! modies, modies, dziedi dziesmu! Celies, Barak, un ved savus gūstītos, Abinoama dēls.
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!’
13 Tad nonāca atlikums no tiem tautas vareniem; Tas Kungs nonāca man līdz starp tiem spēcīgiem.
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.
14 No Efraīma tie, kam sakne ir iekš Amaleka, aiz tevis Benjamins starp taviem ļaudīm; no Mahira valdnieki nāca un no Zebulona, kas tur (nes) vadoņa zizli.
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.
15 Un Īsašara virsnieki bija ar Deboru, un Īsašars tā kā Baraks, lejā nesti savām kājām. Pie Rūbena upēm bija lieli sirds padomi.
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.
16 Kāpēc tu paliki pie laidariem, klausīties stabules pie ganāmiem pulkiem? Pie Rūbena upēm bija lieli sirds spriedumi.
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.
17 Gileāds palika viņpus Jardānes, un kāpēc Dans mīt pie laivām? Ašers sēž jūrmalā un paliek savos līčos.
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.
18 Zebulons, tā ir tauta, kas savu dvēseli nodod nāvē, un Naftalus arīdzan augstos klajumos.
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.
19 Ķēniņi nāca, tie karoja, tad Kanaāna ķēniņi karoja pie Taānakas, pie Meģidus ūdeņiem; naudas peļņu tie nedabūja.
“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.
20 No debesīm karoja, zvaigznes no saviem ceļiem karoja pret Siseru.
[It was as though] the stars in the sky fought for us [and as though] those stars in their paths fought against Sisera.
21 Ķizonas upe viņus aizrāva, tā veclaiku upe, Ķizonas upe. Celies, mana dvēsele, ar spēku!
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.
22 Rībēt rībēja apakš zirgu kājām, jājot, viņu vareniem jājot.
The hooves of the horses of Sisera’s [army] pounded the ground. Those powerful horses kept galloping along.
23 Lādiet Merosu, saka Tā Kunga eņģelis, lādiet lādēdami viņa iedzīvotājus, tāpēc ka tie nav nākuši palīgā Tam Kungam, palīgā Tam Kungam ar stiprajiem.
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].’
24 Svētīta pār sievām lai ir Jaēle, Hebera, tā Kenieša, sieva, svētīta pār sievām teltīs.
“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.
25 Ūdeni tas prasīja, tā deva pienu; dārgā kausā tā atnesa kreimu(krējumu).
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.
26 Savu roku tā izstiepa pēc naglas, un savu labo roku pēc strādnieku vesera, un sita Siseram, sašķēla viņa galvu, satrieca un izurba viņa deniņus.
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.
27 Apakš viņas kājām tas locījās, krita zemē, gulēja; apakš viņas kājām tas locījās, krita; tur, kur locījās, tas gāzās un bija pagalam.
He collapsed and fell dead at her feet.
28 Pa logu skatījās Siserus māte un kliedza caur skadriņiem: kāpēc viņa rati kavējās, ka tie nenāk? Kāpēc viņa zirgu soļi tik lēni?
“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?’
29 Tās gudrās no viņas cienīgām tai atbild, un arī (viņa) pati tā atbild uz saviem vārdiem:
One wise woman replied to her, and she [kept consoling herself by] repeating those words:
30 “Vai tad tie neatradīs un neizdalīs laupījumu, vienu, divas sievietes uz vīra galvu, raibas drēbes Siserum par laupījumu, raibas rakstītas drēbes par laupījumu, raibu drēbi, divas rakstītas raibas drēbes ap kaklu laupītajām.
‘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.’
31 Tā lai, Kungs, iet bojā visi Tavi ienaidnieki! Bet kas Viņu mīļo, lai ir, tā kā saule uzlec savā spēkā.” - Un tai zemei bija miers četrdesmit gadus.
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!
