Sodniki 5
1 Potem sta Debóra in Abinóamov sin Barák tisti dan zapela, rekoč:
On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:
2 »Hvalite Gospoda za maščevanje Izraela, ko se je ljudstvo voljno darovalo.
“When the princes take the lead in Israel, when the people volunteer, bless the LORD.
3 Poslušajte, oh vi kralji, pazljivo prisluhnite, oh vi princi. Jaz, celó jaz, bom prepevala Gospodu. Prepevala bom hvalo Gospodu, Izraelovemu Bogu.
Listen, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I will sing to the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD, 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.
O LORD, when You went out from Seir, when You marched from the land of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens poured out rain, and the clouds poured down water.
5 Gore so se topile pred Gospodom, celó tisti Sinaj pred Gospodom, Izraelovim Bogom.
The mountains quaked before the LORD, the One of Sinai, before the LORD, 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 son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were deserted and the travelers took the byways.
7 Prebivalci vasi so prenehali, prenehali so v Izraelu, dokler nisem vstala jaz, Debóra, ki sem vstala, mati v Izraelu.
Life in the villages ceased; it ended in Israel, until I, Deborah, 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?
When they chose new gods, then war came to their gates. Not a shield or spear was found 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 with the princes of Israel, with the volunteers among the people. Bless the LORD!
10 Govorite, vi, ki jahate na belih oslih, vi, ki sedite na sodbi in hodite po poti.
You who ride white donkeys, who sit on saddle blankets, and you who travel the road, ponder
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.
the voices of the singers at the watering places. There they shall recount the righteous acts of the LORD, the righteous deeds of His villagers in Israel. Then the people of the LORD 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, O Deborah! Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, O Barak, and take hold of your captives, O 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 the survivors came down to the nobles; the people of the LORD came down to 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.
Some came from Ephraim, with their roots in Amalek; Benjamin came with your people after you. The commanders came down from Machir, the bearers of the marshal’s staff from Zebulun.
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.
The princes of Issachar were with Deborah, and Issachar was with Barak, rushing into the valley at his heels. In the clans of Reuben there was great indecision.
16 Zakaj ostajaš med ovčjimi stajami, da poslušaš blejanje tropov? Zaradi Rubenovih oddelkov so bila velika preiskovanja srca.
Why did you sit among the sheepfolds to hear the whistling for the flocks? In the clans of Reuben there was great indecision.
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 remained beyond the Jordan. Dan, why did you linger by the ships? Asher stayed at the coast and remained in his harbors.
18 Zábulon in Neftáli sta bila ljudstvi, ki sta izpostavili svoja življenja smrti na visokih krajih polja.
Zebulun was a people who risked their lives; Naphtali, too, on the heights of the battlefield.
19 Kralji so prišli in se bojevali, potem so se pri vodah Megída v Taanáhu bojevali kánaanski kralji; nobenega dobička od denarja niso vzeli.
Kings came and fought; then the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach by the waters of Megiddo, but they took no plunder of silver.
20 Vojskovali so se z neba. Zvezde na svojih orbitah so se bojevale zoper Siserája.
From the heavens the stars fought; 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, the ancient river, the River Kishon. March on, O my soul, in strength!
22 Potem so bila konjska kopita zlomljena zaradi razloga drvenj, drvenj njihovih mogočnih.
Then the hooves of horses thundered— the mad galloping of his stallions.
23 ›Prekolnite Meróz, ‹ je rekel Gospodov angel, grenko prekolnite njegove prebivalce, ker niso prišli na pomoč Gospodu, na pomoč Gospodu zoper mogočnega.‹
‘Curse Meroz,’ says the angel of the LORD. ‘Bitterly curse her inhabitants; for they did not come to help the LORD, to help the LORD against the mighty.’
24 Blagoslovljena nad ženami naj bo Jaéla, žena Kenéjca Heberja, blagoslovljena nad ženami naj bo v šotoru.
Most blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, most blessed of tent-dwelling women.
25 Prosil je vode in dala mu je mleko. V gosposki skledi je prinesla maslo.
He asked for water, and she gave him milk. In a magnificent bowl she brought him curds.
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 reached for the tent peg, her right hand for the workman’s hammer. She struck Sisera and crushed his skull; she shattered and pierced his temple.
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 collapsed, he fell, there he lay still; at her feet he collapsed, he fell; where he collapsed, there he fell 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?‹
Sisera’s mother looked through the window; she peered through the lattice and lamented: ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? What has delayed the clatter of his chariots?’
29 Njene modre gospe so ji odgovorile, da, sebi je vrnila odgovor:
Her wisest ladies answer; indeed she keeps telling 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?‹
‘Are they not finding and dividing the spoil— a girl or two for each warrior, a plunder of dyed garments for Sisera, the spoil of embroidered garments for the neck of the looter?’
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 may all your enemies perish, O LORD! But may those who love You shine like the sun at its brightest.” And the land had rest for forty years.
