Sodniki 5
1 Potem sta Debóra in Abinóamov sin Barák tisti dan zapela, rekoč:
Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2 »Hvalite Gospoda za maščevanje Izraela, ko se je ljudstvo voljno darovalo.
For that the leaders took the lead in Israel, For that the people offered themselves willingly, Bless ye Jehovah.
3 Poslušajte, oh vi kralji, pazljivo prisluhnite, oh vi princi. Jaz, celó jaz, bom prepevala Gospodu. Prepevala bom hvalo Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu.
Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, [even] I, will sing unto Jehovah; I will sing praise to Jehovah, the God of Israel.
4 Gospod, ko si šel iz Seírja, ko si korakal ven iz edómskega polja, je zemlja trepetala in nebo je kapljalo, tudi oblaki so kapljali vodo.
Jehovah, when thou wentest forth out of Seir, When thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, Yea, the clouds dropped water.
5 Gore so se topile pred Gospodom, celó tisti Sinaj pred Gospodom, Izraelovim Bogom.
The mountains quaked at the presence of Jehovah, Even yon Sinai at the presence of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
6 V dneh Anátovega sina Šamgárja, v dneh Jaéle, so bile glavne ceste prazne in popotniki so hodili po stranskih poteh.
In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, And the travellers walked through byways.
7 Prebivalci vasi so prenehali, prenehali so v Izraelu, dokler nisem vstala jaz, Debóra, ki sem vstala, mati v Izraelu.
The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, Until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother in Israel.
8 Izbrali so nove bogove. Potem je bila vojna v velikih vratih. Ali sta bila ščit ali sulica videna med štiridesetimi tisoči v Izraelu?
They chose new gods; Then was war in the gates: Was there a shield or spear seen Among forty thousand in Israel?
9 Moje srce je [nagnjeno] k Izraelovim voditeljem, ki so se voljno darovali med ljudstvom. Blagoslavljajte Gospoda.
My heart is toward the governors of Israel, That offered themselves willingly among the people: Bless ye Jehovah.
10 Govorite, vi, ki jahate na belih oslih, vi, ki sedite na sodbi in hodite po poti.
Tell [of it], ye that ride on white asses, Ye that sit on rich carpets, And ye that walk by the way.
11 Tisti, ki so bili osvobojeni pred hrupom lokostrelcev na krajih zajemanj vode, bodo tam ponavljali Gospodova pravična dejanja, celó pravična dejanja do prebivalcev njegovih vasi v Izraelu. Potem bo Gospodovo ljudstvo šlo dol k velikim vratom.
Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, There shall they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, [Even] the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.
12 Prebudi se, prebudi se, Debóra. Prebudi se, prebudi se, izusti pesem. Vstani Barák in vodí svoje ujeto ujetništvo, ti, Abinóamov sin.
Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, utter a song: Arise, Barak, and lead away thy captives, thou son of Abinoam.
13 Potem je naredil tistega, ki preostane, da ima gospostvo nad plemiči izmed ljudstva. Gospod me je naredil, da imam gospostvo nad mogočnimi.
Then came down a remnant of the nobles [and] the people; Jehovah came down for me against the mighty.
14 Iz Efrájima je bila tam korenina tistih zoper Amáleka. Za teboj, Benjamin, med tvojim ljudstvom. Iz Mahírja so prišli dol voditelji in iz Zábulona tisti, ki vlečejo pisalo pisca.
Out of Ephraim [came down] they whose root is in Amalek; After thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples; Out of Machir came down governors, And out of Zebulun they that handle the marshal’s staff.
15 Isahárjevi princi so bili z Debóro, celo Isahár in tudi Barák. Peš je bil poslan v dolino. Zaradi Rubenovih oddelkov so bile velike misli srca.
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; As was Issachar, so was Barak; Into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben There were great resolves of heart.
16 Zakaj ostajaš med ovčjimi stajami, da poslušaš blejanje tropov? Zaradi Rubenovih oddelkov so bila velika preiskovanja srca.
Why sattest thou among the sheepfolds, To hear the pipings for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben There were great searchings of heart.
17 Gileád je prebival onkraj Jordana in zakaj je Dan ostal v ladjah? Aser je nadaljeval na morski obali in prebival v svojih vrzelih.
Gilead abode beyond the Jordan: And Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, And abode by his creeks.
18 Zábulon in Neftáli sta bila ljudstvi, ki sta izpostavili svoja življenja smrti na visokih krajih polja.
Zebulun was a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, And Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.
19 Kralji so prišli in se bojevali, potem so se pri vodah Megída v Taanáhu bojevali kánaanski kralji; nobenega dobička od denarja niso vzeli.
The kings came and fought; Then fought the kings of Canaan, In Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: They took no gain of money.
20 Vojskovali so se z neba. Zvezde na svojih orbitah so se bojevale zoper Siserája.
From heaven fought the stars, From their courses they fought against Sisera.
21 Reka Kišón jih je odplavila, ta starodavna reka, reka Kišón. Oh moja duša, pomendrala si moč.
The river Kishon swept them away, That ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, march on with strength.
22 Potem so bila konjska kopita zlomljena zaradi razloga drvenj, drvenj njihovih mogočnih.
Then did the horsehoofs stamp By reason of the prancings, the prancings of their strong ones.
23 ›Prekolnite Meróz, ‹ je rekel Gospodov angel, grenko prekolnite njegove prebivalce, ker niso prišli na pomoč Gospodu, na pomoč Gospodu zoper mogočnega.‹
Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of Jehovah. Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof, Because they came not to the help of Jehovah, To the help of Jehovah against the mighty.
24 Blagoslovljena nad ženami naj bo Jaéla, žena Kenéjca Heberja, blagoslovljena nad ženami naj bo v šotoru.
Blessed above women shall Jael be, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25 Prosil je vode in dala mu je mleko. V gosposki skledi je prinesla maslo.
He asked water, [and] she gave him milk; She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
26 Svojo roko je iztegnila h klinu in svojo desnico k delavčevemu kladivu in s kladivom je udarila Siserája, zdrobila mu je glavo, ko jo je predrla in udarila skozi njegova sènca.
She put her hand to the tent-pin, And her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; And with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote through his head; Yea, she pierced and struck through his temples.
27 Ob njenih stopalih se je upognil, padel je, ulegel se je. Ob njenih stopalih se je upognil, padel je. Kjer se je upognil, tam je mrtev padel dol.
At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay; At her feet he bowed, he fell: Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
28 Siserájeva mati je pogledala skozi okno in zaklicala skozi mrežo: ›Zakaj se njegov bojni voz tako dolgo mudi? Zakaj se mudijo kolesa njegovih bojnih vozov?‹
Through the window she looked forth, and cried, The mother of Sisera [cried] through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29 Njene modre gospe so ji odgovorile, da, sebi je vrnila odgovor:
Her wise ladies answered her, Yea, she returned answer to herself,
30 ›Ali niso pohiteli? Ali niso razdelili plena; vsakemu možu gospodično ali dve. Siseráju plen številnih barv, plen številnih barv vezenine, številnih barv vezenine na obeh straneh, primerne za vratove tistih, ki jemljejo plen?‹
Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A damsel, two damsels to every man; To Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, A spoil of dyed garments embroidered, Of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the spoil?
31 Tako naj vsi tvoji sovražniki propadejo, oh Gospod, toda naj bodo tisti, ki ga ljubijo, kakor sonce, ko vzide v svoji moči.« In dežela je imela štirideset let počitek.
So let all thine enemies perish, O Jehovah: But let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
