Sudije 5
1 I u taj dan pjeva Devora i Varak sin Avinejemov govoreæi:
In that day, Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, sang out, saying:
2 Blagosiljajte Gospoda što uèini osvetu u Izrailju i što narod dragovoljno prista.
“All you of Israel who have willingly offered your lives to danger, bless the Lord!
3 Èujte carevi, slušajte knezovi; ja, ja æu Gospodu pjevati, popijevaæu Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevu.
Listen, O kings! Pay attention, O princes! It is I, it is I, who will sing to the Lord. I will sing a psalm to the Lord, the God of Israel!
4 Gospode! kad si slazio sa Sira, kad si išao iz polja Edomskoga, zemlja se tresijaše, i nebesa kapahu, oblaci kapahu vodom.
O Lord, when you departed from Seir, and you crossed through the regions of Edom, the earth and the heavens were moved, and the clouds rained down water.
5 Brda se rastapahu pred Gospodom; taj Sinaj pred Gospodom Bogom Izrailjevijem.
The mountains flowed away before the face of the Lord, and Sinai, before the face of the Lord God of Israel.
6 Za vremena Samegara sina Anatova, za vremena Jailjina nesta putova, i koji iðahu stazama, iðahu krivijem putovima.
In the days of Shamgar, the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the paths were quiet. And whoever entered by them, walked along rough byways.
7 Nesta sela u Izrailju, nesta ih, dokle ne nastah ja, Devora, dokle ne nastah majka Izrailju.
The strong men ceased, and they rested in Israel, until Deborah rose up, until a mother rose up in Israel.
8 On izabra nove bogove, tada rat bijaše na vratima; viðaše li se štit ili koplje meðu èetrdeset tisuæa u Izrailju?
The Lord chose new wars, and he himself overturned the gates of the enemies. A shield with a spear was not seen among the forty thousand of Israel.
9 Srce se moje privilo k upraviteljima Izrailjevijem, koji dragovoljno pristaše izmeðu naroda. Blagosiljajte Gospoda.
My heart loves the leaders of Israel. All you who, of your own free will, offered yourselves during a crisis, bless the Lord.
10 Koji jašete na bijelijem magaricama, koji sjedite u sudu i koji hodite po putovima, pripovijedajte.
You who ride upon donkeys laboring, and you who sit in judgment, and you who walk along the way, speak out.
11 Prestala je praska streljaèka na mjestima gdje se voda crpe; ondje neka pripovijedaju pravdu Gospodnju, pravdu k selima njegovijem u Izrailju; tada æe narod Gospodnji slaziti na vrata.
Where the chariots were struck together, and the army of the enemies was choked, in that place, let the justices of the Lord be described, and let his clemency be for the brave of Israel. Then did the people of the Lord descend to the gates, and obtain leadership.
12 Ustani, ustani, Devoro; ustani, ustani, zapjevaj pjesmu; ustani, Varaèe, vodi u ropstvo roblje svoje, sine Avinejemov.
Rise up, rise up, O Deborah! Rise up, rise up, and speak a canticle! Rise up, Barak, and seize your captives, O son of Abinoam.
13 Sada æe potlaèeni obladati silnima iz naroda; Gospod mi dade da vladam silnima.
The remnants of the people were saved. The Lord contended with the strong.
14 Iz Jefrema izide korijen njihov na Amalike; za tobom bješe Venijamin s narodom tvojim; od Mahira izidoše koji postavljaju zakone, a od Zavulona pisari.
Out of Ephraim, he destroyed those with Amalek, and after him, out of Benjamin, those of your people, O Amalek. From Machir, there descended leaders, and from Zebulun, those who led the army to war.
15 I knezovi Isaharovi biše s Devorom, Isahar kao i Varak bi poslan u dolinu s ljudima koje voðaše. U dijelu Ruvimovu bijahu ljudi visokih misli.
The commanders of Issachar were with Deborah, and they followed the steps of Barak, who endangered himself, like one rushing headlong into a chasm. Reuben was divided against himself. Contention was found among great souls.
16 Što si sjedio meðu torovima slušajuæi kako bleje stada? U dijelu Ruvimovu bijahu ljudi visokih misli.
Why do you live between two borders, so that you hear the bleating of the flocks? Reuben was divided against himself. Contention was found among great souls.
17 Galad osta s onu stranu Jordana; a Dan što se zabavi kod laða? Asir zašto sjede na brijegu morskom i u krševima svojim osta?
Gilead rested beyond the Jordan, and Dan was occupied with ships. Asher was living on the shore of the sea, and dwelling in the ports.
18 Zavulon je narod koji dade dušu svoju na smrt, tako i Neftalim, na visokom polju.
Yet truly, Zebulun and Naphtali offered their lives to death in the region of Merom.
19 Doðoše carevi, biše se; biše se carevi Hananski u Tanahu na vodi Megidskoj; ali ni mrve srebra ne dobiše.
The kings came and fought; the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach, beside the waters of Megiddo. And yet they took no spoils.
20 S neba se vojeva, zvijezde s mjesta svojih vojevaše na Sisaru.
The conflict against them was from heaven. The stars, remaining in their order and courses, fought against Sisera.
21 Potok Kison odnese ih, potok Kadimin, potok Kison; pogazila si, dušo moja, snažno.
The torrent of Kishon dragged away their carcasses, the onrushing torrent, the torrent of Kishon. O my soul, tread upon the stalwart!
22 Tada izotpadaše konjma kopita od tjeranja junaka njihovijeh.
The hoofs of the horses were broken, while the strongest of the enemies fled away with fury, and rushed on to ruin.
23 Proklinjite Miroz, reèe anðeo Gospodnji, proklinjite stanovnike njegove; jer ne doðoše u pomoæ Gospodu, u pomoæ Gospodu s junacima.
‘Cursed be the land of Meroz!’ said the Angel of the Lord. ‘Cursed be its inhabitants! For they did not come to the aid of the Lord, to the assistance of his most valiant men.’
24 Da je blagoslovena mimo žene Jailja žena Evera Kenejina; mimo žene u šatorima da je blagoslovena.
Blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. And blessed is she in her tabernacle.
25 Zaiska vode, mlijeka mu dade, u gospodskoj zdjeli donese mu povlaku.
He begged her for water, and she gave him milk, and she offered him butter in a dish fit for princes.
26 Lijevom rukom maši se za kolac a desnom za malj kovaèki, i udari Sisaru, razmrska mu glavu; probode i probi mu slijepe oèi.
She put her left hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman’s mallet. And she struck Sisera, seeking in his head a place for the wound, and strongly piercing his temples.
27 Meðu noge njezine savi se, pade, leža; meðu noge njezine savi se, pade; gdje se savi, ondje pade mrtav.
Between her feet, he was ruined. He fainted away and passed on. He curled up before her feet, and he lay there lifeless and miserable.
28 S prozora gledaše majka Sisarina, i kroz rešetku vikaše: što se tako dugo ne vraæaju kola njegova? što se tako polako mièu toèkovi kola njegovijeh?
His mother gazed through a window and wailed. And she spoke from an upper room: ‘Why does his chariot delay in returning? Why are the feet of his team of horses so slow?’
29 Najmudrije izmeðu dvorkinja njezinijeh odgovarahu joj, a i sama odgovaraše sebi:
One who was wiser than the rest of his wives responded to her mother-in-law with this:
30 Nijesu li našli? ne dijele li plijen? po jednu djevojku, po dvije djevojke na svakoga. Plijen šaren Sisari, plijen šaren, vezen; šaren, vezen s obje strane, oko vrata onima koji zaplijeniše.
‘Perhaps he is now dividing the spoils, and the most beautiful among the women is being selected for him. Garments of diverse colors are being delivered to Sisera as spoils, and various goods are being collected for the adornment of necks.’
31 Tako da izginu svi neprijatelji tvoji, Gospode; a koji te ljube da budu kao sunce kad izlazi u sili svojoj. I zemlja bi mirna èetrdeset godina.
O Lord, so may all your enemies perish! But may those who love you shine with splendor, as the sun shines at its rising.” And the land rested for forty years.
