< Sudije 4 >

1 A po smrti Aodovoj opet sinovi Izrailjevi èiniše što je zlo pred Gospodom.
And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord after the death of Aod,
2 I Gospod ih dade u ruke Javinu caru Hananskom, koji vladaše u Asoru, a vojsci njegovoj bješe vojvoda Sisara, koji življaše u Arosetu neznabožaèkom.
And the Lord delivered them up into the hands of Jaban king of Chanaan, who reigned in Asor: and he had a general of his army named Sisara, and he dwelt in Haroseth of the Gentiles.
3 I sinovi Izrailjevi vapiše ka Gospodu; jer on imaše devet stotina gvozdenijeh kola, i veoma pritješnjavaše sinove Izrailjeve dvadeset godina.
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots set with scythes, and for twenty years had grievously oppressed them.
4 U to vrijeme Devora proroèica, žena Lafidotova, suðaše Izrailju.
And there was at that time Debbora a prophetess the wife of Lapidoth, who judged the people,
5 I Devora stanovaše pod palmom izmeðu Rame i Vetilja u gori Jefremovoj, i dolažahu k njoj sinovi Izrailjevi na sud.
And she sat under a palm tree, which was called by her name, between Rama and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for all judgment.
6 A ona poslavši dozva Varaka sina Avinejemova iz Kedesa Neftalimova, i reèe mu: nije li zapovjedio Gospod Bog Izrailjev: idi, skupi narod na goru Tavor, i uzmi sa sobom deset tisuæa ljudi izmeðu sinova Neftalimovijeh i sinova Zavulonovijeh?
And she sent and called Barac the son of Abinoem out of Cedes in Nephtali: and she said to him: The Lord God of Israel hath commanded thee: Go, and lead an army to mount Thabor, and thou shalt take with thee ten thousand fighting men of the children of Nephtali, and of the children of Zabulon:
7 Jer æu dovesti k tebi na potok Kison Sisaru vojvodu Javinova i kola njegova i ljudstvo njegovo, i predaæu ga tebi u ruke.
And I will bring unto thee in the place of the torrent Cison, Sisara the general of Jabin’s army, and his chariots, and all his multitude, and will deliver them into thy hand.
8 A Varak joj reèe: ako æeš ti iæi sa mnom, iæi æu; ako li neæeš iæi sa mnom, neæu iæi.
And Barac said to her: If thou wilt come with me, I will go: if thou wilt not come with me, I will not go.
9 A ona reèe: ja æu iæi s tobom, ali neæeš imati slave na putu kojim æeš iæi; jer æe ženi u ruku dati Gospod Sisaru. I ustavši Devora otide s Varakom u Kedes.
She said to him: I will go indeed with thee, but at this time the victory shall not be attributed to thee, because Sisara shall be delivered into the hand of a woman. Debbora therefore arose, and went with Barac to Cedes.
10 I Varak sazvavši sinove Zavulonove i Neftalimove u Kedes, povede za sobom deset tisuæa ljudi; i Devora iðaše s njim.
And he called unto him Zabulon and Nepbtali, and went up with ten thousand fighting men, having Debbora in his company.
11 A Ever Kenejin bješe se odvojio od Keneja, od sinova Ovava tasta Mojsijeva, i bješe razapeo svoj šator kod hrastova Zanajimskih, a to je kod Kedesa.
Now Haber the Cinite had some time before departed from the rest of the Cinites his brethren the sons of Hobab, the kinsman of Moses: and had pitched his tents unto the valley which is called Sellnim, and was near Cedes.
12 I javiše Sisari da je izašao Varak sin Avinejemov na goru Tavor.
And it was told Sisara, that Barac the son of Ablinoem was gone up to mount Thabor:
13 I Sisara skupi sva kola svoja, devet stotina kola gvozdenijeh, i sav narod koji bijaše s njim od Aroseta neznabožaèkoga do potoka Kisona.
And he gathered together his nine hundred chariots armed with scythes, and all his army from Haroseth of the Gentiles to the torrent Cison.
14 Tada reèe Devora Varaku: ustani, jer je ovo dan, u koji ti dade Gospod Sisaru u ruke. Ne ide li Gospod pred tobom? I Varak siðe s gore Tavora, i deset tisuæa ljudi za njim.
And Debbora said to Barac: Arise, for this is the day wherein the Lord hath delivered Sisara into thy hands: behold he is thy leader. And Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand fighting men with him.
15 I Gospod smete Sisaru i sva kola njegova i svu vojsku oštrim maèem pred Varakom; i Sisara siðe s kola svojih i pobježe pješice.
And the Lord struck a terror into Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his multitude, with the edge of the sword, at the sight of Barac, insomuch that Sisara leaping down from off his chariot, fled away on foot.
16 A Varak potjera kola i vojsku do Aroseta neznabožaèkoga; i pade sva vojska Sisarina od oštroga maèa, ne osta nijedan.
And Barac pursued after the fleeing chariots and the army unto Haroseth of the Gentiles, and all the multitude of the enemies was utterly destroyed.
17 A Sisara uteèe pješice do šatora Jailje žene Evera Kenejina; jer bijaše mir meðu Javinom carem Asorskim i domom Evera Kenejina.
But Sisara fleeing came to the tent of Jahel the wife of Haber the Cinite, for there was peace between Jabin the king of Asor, and the house of Haber the Cinite.
18 I izide Jailja na susret Sisari, i reèe mu: skloni se, gospodaru, skloni se kod mene; ne boj se. I on se skloni kod nje u šator, i ona ga pokri pokrivaèem.
And Jahel went forth to meet Sisara, and said to him: Come in to me, my lord, come in, fear not. He went in to her tent, and being covered by her with a cloak,
19 A on joj reèe: daj mi malo vode da se napijem, jer sam žedan. A ona otvori mijeh mlijeka i napoji ga, pa ga pokri.
Said to her: Give me, I beseech thee, a little water, for I am very thirsty. She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him.
20 A on joj reèe: stoj na vratima od šatora, i ako ko doðe i zapita te i reèe: ima li tu ko? reci: nema.
And Sisara said to her: Stand before the door of the tent, and when any shall come and inquire of thee, saying: Is there any man here? thou shalt say: There is none.
21 Tada Jailja žena Everova uze kolac od šatora, i uze malj u ruku, i pristupi k njemu polako, i satjera mu kolac kroz slijepe oèi, te proðe u zemlju, kad spavaše tvrdo umoran, i umrije.
So Jahel Haber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and taking also a hammer: and going in softly, and with silence, she put the nail upon the temples of his head, and striking it With the hammer, drove it through his brain fast into the ground: and so passing from deep sleep to death, he fainted away and died.
22 I gle, Varak tjeraše Sisaru, i Jailja mu izide na susret, i reèe mu: hodi da ti pokažem èovjeka kojega tražiš. I uðe k njoj, i gle, Sisara ležaše mrtav, i kolac mu u slijepijem oèima.
And behold Barac came pursuing after Sisara: and Jahel went out to meet him, and said to him: Come, and I will shew thee, the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, be saw Sisara lying dead, and the nail fastened in his temples.
23 Tako pokori Bog u onaj dan Javina cara Hananskoga pred sinovima Izrailjevijem.
So God that day humbled Jabin the king of Chanaan before the children of Israel:
24 I ruka sinova Izrailjevijeh bivaše sve teža Javinu caru Hananskom, dokle ne istrijebiše Javina cara Hananskoga.
Who grew daily stronger, and with a mighty hand overpowered Jabin king of Chanaan, till they quite destroyed him.
