< Sudije 4 >

1 A po smrti Aodovoj opet sinovi Izrailjevi èiniše što je zlo pred Gospodom.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead.
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.
The LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth Haggoyim.
3 I sinovi Izrailjevi vapiše ka Gospodu; jer on imaše devet stotina gvozdenijeh kola, i veoma pritješnjavaše sinove Izrailjeve dvadeset godina.
The children of Israel cried to the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
4 U to vrijeme Devora proroèica, žena Lafidotova, suðaše Izrailju.
Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
5 I Devora stanovaše pod palmom izmeðu Rame i Vetilja u gori Jefremovoj, i dolažahu k njoj sinovi Izrailjevi na sud.
She lived under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for 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?
She sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh Naphtali, and said to him, "Hasn't the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded, 'Go and draw to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the people of Naphtali and of the people of Zebulun?
7 Jer æu dovesti k tebi na potok Kison Sisaru vojvodu Javinova i kola njegova i ljudstvo njegovo, i predaæu ga tebi u ruke.
I will draw to you, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into your hand.'"
8 A Varak joj reèe: ako æeš ti iæi sa mnom, iæi æu; ako li neæeš iæi sa mnom, neæu iæi.
Barak said to her, "If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go, for I do not know the day on which the LORD prospers his angel with me."
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, "I will surely go with you, but know that the journey that you take will not be for your honor; for the LORD will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman." Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
10 I Varak sazvavši sinove Zavulonove i Neftalimove u Kedes, povede za sobom deset tisuæa ljudi; i Devora iðaše s njim.
Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
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 Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the descendants of Hobab the brother-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.
12 I javiše Sisari da je izašao Varak sin Avinejemov na goru Tavor.
And it was reported to Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.
13 I Sisara skupi sva kola svoja, devet stotina kola gvozdenijeh, i sav narod koji bijaše s njim od Aroseta neznabožaèkoga do potoka Kisona.
Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth Haggoyim, to the river Kishon.
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.
Deborah said to Barak, "Arise, for this is the day in which the LORD has delivered Sisera into your hand. Hasn't the LORD gone out before you?" So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after 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.
The LORD confused Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera got off from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
16 A Varak potjera kola i vojsku do Aroseta neznabožaèkoga; i pade sva vojska Sisarina od oštroga maèa, ne osta nijedan.
But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, to Harosheth Haggoyim: and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not a man left.
17 A Sisara uteèe pješice do šatora Jailje žene Evera Kenejina; jer bijaše mir meðu Javinom carem Asorskim i domom Evera Kenejina.
However Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
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.
Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, "Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; do not be afraid." He came in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.
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.
He said to her, "Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty." She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him 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.
He said to her, "Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man comes and inquires of you, and says, 'Is there any man here?' that you shall say, 'No.'"
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.
Then Jael Heber's wife took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he 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.
Look, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, "Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek." He came to her; and look, Sisera lay dead, and the tent peg was in his temples.
23 Tako pokori Bog u onaj dan Javina cara Hananskoga pred sinovima Izrailjevijem.
So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
24 I ruka sinova Izrailjevijeh bivaše sve teža Javinu caru Hananskom, dokle ne istrijebiše Javina cara Hananskoga.
The hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
