Judges 4
1 And the children of Israel continued to do evil against the Lord; and Aod was dead.
Då Ehud var burte, gjorde Israels-sønerne atter det som var Herren imot.
2 And the Lord sold the children of Israel into the hand of Jabin king of Chanaan, who ruled in Asor; and the chief of his host was Sisara, and he lived in Arisoth of the Gentiles.
Då slepte han deim i henderne på Jabin, kananitarkongen. Jabin hadde kongssætet sitt i Hasor. Hovdingen yver heren hans heitte Sisera; han budde i Haroset-Haggojim.
3 And the children of Israel cried to the Lord, because he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and he mightily oppressed Israel twenty years.
Og Israels-sønerne ropa til Herren; for Sisera hadde ni hundrad jarnvogner, og han trengde Israels-sønerne hardt i tjuge år.
4 And Debbora, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, —she judged Israel at that time.
I den tidi var Debora, kona åt Lappidot, domar i Israel. Ho var ei viskona,
5 And she sat under the palm tree of Debbora between Rama and Baethel in mount Ephraim; and the children of Israel went up to her for judgment.
og sat jamleg under eit palmetre millom Rama og Betel på Efraimsheidi - det treet vart heitande Deborapalma - og Israels-sønerne kom upp til henne, so ho skulde skifta rett millom deim.
6 And Debbora sent and called Barac the son of Abineem out of Cades Nephthali, and she said to him, Has not the Lord God of Israel commanded you? and you shall depart to mount Thabor, and shall take with yourself ten thousand men of the sons of Nephthali and of the sons of Zabulon.
Ho sende bod etter Barak, son åt Abinoam, frå Kedes i Naftalifylket, og sagde med honom: «Høyr no kva Herren, Israels Gud, segjer til deg: «Tak ut, og drag upp på Taborfjellet, og hav med deg ti tusund mann av Naftali- og Sebulons-ætterne!
7 And I will bring to you to the torrent of Kison Sisara the captain of the host of Jabin, and his chariots, and his multitude, and I will deliver them into your hands.
Og eg skal draga Sisera, hovdingen yver Jabins-heren, burtåt deg til Kisonåi med vognerne og heile horgi hans, og gjeva honom i dine hender.»»
8 And Barac said to her, If you will go with me, I will go; and if you will not go, I will not go; for I know not the day on which the Lord prospers his messenger with me.
Då svara Barak: «Gjeng du med meg, so skal eg taka ut, men gjeng du ikkje med, so gjeng ikkje eg heller.»
9 And she said, I will surely go with you; but know that your honor shall not attend on the expedition on which you go, for the Lord shall sell Sisara into the hands of a women: and Debbora arose, and went with Barac out of Cades.
«Visst skal eg ganga med deg, » sagde Debora, «men då fær ikkje du æra for den ferdi du tek ut på; for Herren skal gjeva Sisera i kvendehand.» So gjorde ho seg reidug og vart med Barak til Kedes.
10 And Barac called Zabulon and Nephthali out of Cades, and there went up at his feet ten thousand men, and Debbora went up with him.
Og Barak stemnde Sebulon og Naftali i hop til Kedes; ti tusund mann fylgde etter honom, og Debora var med.
11 And Chaber the Kenite had removed from Caina, from the sons of Jobab the father-in-law of Moses, and pitched his tent by the oak of the covetous ones, which is near Kedes.
Den gongen hadde Heber, ein av kenitarne, som var ætta frå Hobab, verbror åt Moses, skilt lag med ætti si, og no flutte han med tjeldbuderne sine alt burt til Besa’annim-eiki som stend innmed Kedes.
12 And it was told Sisara that Barac the son of Abineem was gone up to mount Thabor.
Då Sisera fekk spurt at Barak Abinoamsson var faren upp på Taborfjellet,
13 And Sisara summoned all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron and all the people with him, from Arisoth of the Gentiles to the brook of Kison.
baud han ut stridsmagti si, og for med alle vognerne sine, ni hundrad jarnvogner, og alt folket han hadde med seg, frå Haroset-Haggojim til Kisonåi.
14 And Debbora said to Barac, Rise up, for this [is] the day on which the Lord has delivered Sisara into your hand, for the Lord shall go forth before you: and Barac went down from mount Thabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Då sagde Debora til Barak: «Kom no! For i dag vil Herren gjeva Sisera i dine hender. Veit du’kje at Herren gjeng fyre deg i striden?» So for Barak ned av Taborfjellet, og det fylgde honom ti tusund mann.
15 And the Lord discomfited Sisara, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barac: and Sisara descended from off his chariot, and fled on his feet.
Og Herren sette ein støkk i Sisera og alle vognkjemporne og heile heren hans, so dei ikkje kunde standa seg for Barak og sverdet hans; då steig Sisera ned av vogni, og rømde på sin fot.
16 And Barac pursued after the chariots and after the army, into Arisoth of the Gentiles; and the whole army of Sisara fell by the edge of the sword, there was not one left.
Men Barak elte vognerne og heren alt til Haroset-Haggojim, og heile Sisera-heren fall for sverdet; det vart’kje att ein einaste mann.
17 And Sisara fled on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Chaber the Kenite his friend: for there was peace between Jabin king of Asor and the house of Chaber the Kenite.
Sisera rømde på sin fot til tjeldbudi hennar Jael, kona åt Heber, keniten; for det var fred millom Jabin, Hasor-kongen, og ætti åt Heber.
18 And Jael went, out to meet Sisara, and said to him, Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me, fear not: and he turned aside to her into the tent; and she covered him with a mantle.
Og Jael gjekk ut imot Sisera, og sagde: «Kom inn, herre, kom inn til meg! Du tarv ikkje vera rædd!» Då gjekk han inn i tjeldbudi til henne, og ho gøymde honom under felden.
19 And Sisara said to her, Give me, I pray you, a little water to drink, for I am thirsty: and she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him.
So sagde han: «Kjære væne, gjev meg litt vatn! Eg er tyrst.» Då opna ho mjølkeflaska og gav honom drikka og breidde på honom.
20 And Sisara said to her, Stand now by the door of the tent, and it shall come to pass if any man come to you, and ask of you, and say, Is there [any] man here? then you shall say, There is not.
Og han sagde til henne: «Statt i budøri, og kjem det einkvar og spør deg um her er nokon, so seg: Nei!»
21 And Jael the wife of Chaber took a pin of the tent, and took a hammer in her hand, and went secretly to him, and fastened the pin in his temple, and it went through to the earth, and he fainted away, and darkness fell upon him and he died.
Då var det Jael, kona åt Heber, tok ein tjeldnagle, og gjekk stilt inn til Sisera med hamaren i handi, og med han, trøytt som han var, låg i fastaste svevnen, slo ho naglen gjenom tunnvangen hans, so han gjekk ned i jordi. Soleis døydde han.
22 And, behold, Barac [was] pursuing Sisara: and Jael went out to meet him, and he said to him, Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek: and he went in to her; and, behold, Sisara was fallen dead, and the pin [was] in his temple.
I same bilet kom Barak og søkte etter Sisera. Då gjekk Jael ut imot honom og sagde: «Kom, so skal eg syna deg den mannen du leitar etter!» So gjekk han inn til henne, og då fekk han sjå at Sisera låg livlaus på jordi, med naglen gjenom tunnvangen.
23 So God routed Jabin king of Chanaan in that day before the children of Israel.
Den dagen bøygde Gud Jabin i kne for Israel;
24 And the hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin king of Chanaan, until they utterly destroyed Jabin king of Chanaan.
og Israels hand låg tyngre og tyngre på Jabin, Kana’ans-kongen, til dei reint gjorde ende på honom.
