Књига о судијама 5
1 И у тај дан пева Девора и Варак син Авинејемов говорећи:
On that day, Deborah sang this song, along with Barak:
2 Благосиљајте Господа што учини освету у Израиљу и што народ драговољно приста.
“When the leaders of the Israeli people really lead them, and the people follow them, [it is time to] praise Yahweh!
3 Чујте цареви, слушајте кнезови; ја, ја ћу Господу певати, попеваћу Господу Богу Израиљевом.
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 Господе! Кад си силазио са Сира, кад си ишао из поља едомског, земља се тресаше, и небеса капаху, облаци капаху водом.
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 Брда се растапаху пред Господом; тај Синај пред Господом Богом Израиљевим.
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 За времена Самегара сина Анатовог, за времена Јаиљиног неста путева, и који иђаху стазама, иђаху кривим путевима.
“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 Неста села у Израиљу, неста их, докле не настах ја, Девора, докле не настах мајка Израиљу.
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 Он изабра нове богове, тада рат беше на вратима; виђаше ли се штит или копље међу четрдесет хиљада у Израиљу?
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 Срце се моје привило к управитељима Израиљевим, који драговољно присташе између народа. Благосиљајте Господа.
I am thankful for the leaders and soldiers who volunteered [to fight]. Praise Yahweh [for them!]
10 Који јашете на белим магарицама, који седите у суду и који ходите по путевима, приповедајте.
“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 Престала је праска стрељачка на местима где се вода црпе; онде нека приповедају правду Господњу, правду к селима његовим у Израиљу; тада ће народ Господњи силазити на врата.
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 Устани, устани, Деворо; устани, устани, запевај песму; устани, Вараче, води у ропство робље своје, сине Авинејемов.
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 Сада ће потлачени овладати силнима из народа; Господ ми даде да владам силнима.
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 Из Јефрема изиђе корен њихов на Амалике; за тобом беше Венијамин с народом твојим; од Махира изиђоше који постављају законе, а од Завулона писари.
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 И кнезови Исахарови бише с Девором, Исахар као и Варак би послан у долину с људима које вођаше. У делу Рувимовом беху људи високих мисли.
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 Што си седео међу торовима слушајући како блеје стада? У делу Рувимовом беху људи високих мисли.
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 Галад оста с оне стране Јордана; а Дан што се забави код лађа; Асир зашто седе на брегу морском и у кршевима својим оста?
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 Завулон је народ који даде душу своју на смрт, тако и Нефталим, на високом пољу.
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 Дођоше цареви, бише се; бише се цареви ханански у Танаху на води мегидској; али ни мрве сребра не добише.
“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 С неба се војева, звезде с места својих војеваше на Сисару.
[It was as though] the stars in the sky fought for us [and as though] those stars in their paths fought against Sisera.
21 Поток Кисон однесе их, поток Кадимин, поток Кисон; погазила си, душо моја, снажно.
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 Тада изотпадаше коњима копита од терања јунака њихових.
The hooves of the horses of Sisera’s [army] pounded the ground. Those powerful horses kept galloping along.
23 Проклињите Мироз, рече анђео Господњи, проклињите становнике његове; јер не дођоше у помоћ Господу, у помоћ Господу с јунацима.
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 Да је благословена мимо жене Јаиља жена Евера Кенејина; мимо жене у шаторима да је благословена.
“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 Заиска воде, млека му даде, у господској здели донесе му павлаку.
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 Левом руком маши се за колац а десном за маљ ковачки, и удари Сисару, размрска му главу; прободе и проби му слепе очи.
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 Међу ноге њене сави се, паде, леже, међу ноге њене сави се, паде где се сави, онде паде мртав.
He collapsed and fell dead at her feet.
28 С прозора гледаше мајка Сисарина, и кроз решетку викаше: Што се тако дуго не враћају кола његова? Што се тако полако мичу точкови кола његових?
“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 Најмудрије између дворкиња њених одговараху јој, а и сама одговараше себи:
One wise woman replied to her, and she [kept consoling herself by] repeating those words:
30 Нису ли нашли? Не деле ли плен? По једну девојку, по две девојке на сваког. Плен шарен Сисари, плен шарен, везен; шарен, везен с обе стране, око врата онима који запенише.
‘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 Тако да изгину сви непријатељи Твоји, Господе; а који те љубе да буду као сунце кад излази у сили својој. И земља би мирна четрдесет година.
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!
