Judges, 5

1. In that day, Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, sang out, saying:

1. Toga dana Debora i Barak, sin Abinoamov, zapjevaše ovu pjesmu:

2. “All you of Israel who have willingly offered your lives to danger, bless the Lord!

2. Ratoborno rasuše kose borci izraelski i dragovoljno krenu narod: blagoslivljajte Jahvu!

3. 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!

3. Èujte, o kraljevi! Poslušajte, knezovi! Jahvi ja pjesmu pjevam, Jahvu, Boga Izraelova, ja slavim.

4. 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.

4. Sa Seira kad si silazio, Jahve, pobjednièki kad si kroèio iz polja edomskih, sva se zemlja tresla, lila se nebesa, oblaci curkom daždjeli.

5. The mountains flowed away before the face of the Lord, and Sinai, before the face of the Lord God of Israel.

5. Brda se tresla pred tobom, o Jahve, Jahve, Bože Izraelov!

6. 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.

6. U dane Šamgara, sina Anatova, u dane Jaele opustješe putovi; i oni koji su putovali, obilažahu naokolo.

7. The strong men ceased, and they rested in Israel, until Deborah rose up, until a mother rose up in Israel.

7. Pusta bijahu sela izraelska dok ne ustadoh ja, Debora, dok ne ustadoh kao majka Izraelu.

8. 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.

8. Tuðe bogove sebi izabraše, i zato im rat stade pred vrata. Za pet gradova ne bi nijednog štita! Nijednog kralja za èetrdeset tisuæa u Izraelu!

9. My heart loves the leaders of Israel. All you who, of your own free will, offered yourselves during a crisis, bless the Lord.

9. Srce moje kuca za voðe izraelske, za narod što dragovoljno u boj kreæe! Blagoslivljajte Jahvu!

10. You who ride upon donkeys laboring, and you who sit in judgment, and you who walk along the way, speak out.

10. Vi koji na bijelim jašete magaricama, na sagovima sjedeæi, i vi koji hodite putovima, pjevajte,

11. 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.

11. uz povike razdraganih pastira kod pojila. Neka se slave dobroèinstva Jahvina i vladavina njegova Izraelom! I narod Jahvin siðe na vrata.

12. 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.

12. Probudi se, Deboro, ustani! Ustani, pjesmu zapjevaj! Hrabro! Ustani, Baraèe, vodi u roblje porobljivaèe svoje, sine Abinoamov!

13. The remnants of the people were saved. The Lord contended with the strong.

13. Tad siðe na vrata Izrael, narod Jahvin pohrli junaèki.

14. 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.

14. Iz Efrajima potekoše u dolinu, za njima stiže meðu èete tvoje Benjamin. Iz Makira stupaju glavari, iz Zebuluna oni što nose štap zapovjednièki.

15. 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.

15. Knezovi Jisakarovi s Deborom bjehu, a Naftali poðe s Barakom, pohrli da ga stigne u dolini. Kod Rubenovih potoka dugo se savjetuju.

16. 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.

16. Zašto si ostao u torovima da slušaš sred stada svirku frule? Kod Rubenovih potoka dugo se savjetuju.

17. 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.

17. Gilead osta s onu stranu Jordana. A zašto je Dan na stranim laðama? Zašto na obali mora Ašer sjedi, mirno prebiva u svojim zaljevima?

18. Yet truly, Zebulun and Naphtali offered their lives to death in the region of Merom.

18. Zebulun je narod što prkosi smrti s Naftalijem, na visoravnima.

19. The kings came and fought; the kings of Canaan fought at Taanach, beside the waters of Megiddo. And yet they took no spoils.

19. Došli su kraljevi, boj zametnuli, boj bili kraljevi kanaanski, u Tanaku, na vodi megidskoj, al' ni mrve srebra ne dobiše.

20. The conflict against them was from heaven. The stars, remaining in their order and courses, fought against Sisera.

20. Sa nebeskih staza vojevahu, vojevahu zvijezde prot' Siseri.

21. The torrent of Kishon dragged away their carcasses, the onrushing torrent, the torrent of Kishon. O my soul, tread upon the stalwart!

21. Sve otplavi potok Kišon, potok Kišon pradavni. Gazi èvrsto, moja dušo!

22. The hoofs of the horses were broken, while the strongest of the enemies fled away with fury, and rushed on to ruin.

22. Topot silan odjekuje: jure borci na konjima!

23. ‘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.’

23. "Proklinjite Meroz," Anðeo æe Jahvin, "proklinjite žitelje njegove što Jahvi nisu u pomoæ pritekli, u pomoæ Jahvi s junacima."

24. Blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. And blessed is she in her tabernacle.

24. Blagoslovljena meðu ženama bila Jaela, žena Hebera Kenijca, meðu ženama šatora nek' je slavljena!

25. He begged her for water, and she gave him milk, and she offered him butter in a dish fit for princes.

25. On vode zaiska, mlijeka mu ona dade, u zdjelu dragocjenu nali mu povlake.

26. 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.

26. Rukom lijevom za klinom segnu, a desnom za èekiæem kovaèkim. Udari Siseru, glavu mu razmrska, probode mu, razbi sljepooèicu.

27. 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.

27. Do nogu pade joj, sruši se, leže, do nogu pade joj, sruši se; i gdje pade, mrtav osta.

28. 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?’

28. Kroz prozor motri Siserina mati, kroz prozor motri, na rešetku jÓada: "Dugo mu se kola ne vraæaju: što im je zapreg tako spor?"

29. One who was wiser than the rest of his wives responded to her mother-in-law with this:

29. Najmudrija zbori joj dvorkinja, sebi samoj ona odgovara:

30. ‘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.’

30. "Plijen su našli pa ga dijele: po djevojku na ratnika, po djevojku i po dvije, halju-dvije za Siseru, vezen rubac za moj vrat!"

31. O Lord, so may all your enemies perish! But may those who love you shine with splendor, as the sun shines at its rising.”

31. Tako neka ginu, Jahve, svi neprijatelji tvoji! A oni koji te ljube nek budu kao sunce kada se diže u svojemu sjaju! I zemlja bijaše mirna èetrdeset godina.

32. And the land rested for forty years.

32.
