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.
Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
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 the LORD; I will sing [praise] to the LORD 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.
LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.
5 Gore so se topile pred Gospodom, celó tisti Sinaj pred Gospodom, Izraelovim Bogom.
The mountains melted from before the LORD, [even] that Sinai from before the LORD 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 inhabitants of] the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, 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 the LORD.
10 Govorite, vi, ki jahate na belih oslih, vi, ki sedite na sodbi in hodite po poti.
Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and 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.
[They that are delivered] from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, [even] the righteous acts [toward the inhabitants] of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go 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 thy captivity captive, 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 he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over 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 [was there] a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
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; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben [there were] great thoughts of heart.
16 Zakaj ostajaš med ovčjimi stajami, da poslušaš blejanje tropov? Zaradi Rubenovih oddelkov so bila velika preiskovanja srca.
Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions 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 Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
18 Zábulon in Neftáli sta bila ljudstvi, ki sta izpostavili svoja življenja smrti na visokih krajih polja.
Zebulun and Naphtali [were] a people [that] jeoparded their lives unto the death in 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.
They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
21 Reka Kišón jih je odplavila, ta starodavna reka, reka Kišón. Oh moja duša, pomendrala si moč.
The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
22 Potem so bila konjska kopita zlomljena zaradi razloga drvenj, drvenj njihovih mogočnih.
Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty 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 the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD 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 the wife of Heber the Kenite be, 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 forth 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 nail, and her right hand to the workmen’s hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken 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 down: 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?‹
The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and 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 sped? have they [not] divided the prey; to every man a damsel [or] two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, [meet] for the necks of [them that take] 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 LORD: but [let] them that love him [be] as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
