Judges 4
1 And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, after Ehud was dead.
Og Israels Børn bleve ved at gøre ondt for Herrens Øjne, der Ehud var død.
2 And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
Og Herren solgte dem i Jabins, Kanaans Konges, Haand, som regerede i Hazor; og Sisera var hans Stridshøvedsmand, og han boede i Haroseth Hagojim.
3 And the children of Israel cried to the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
Og Israels Børn raabte til Herren; thi han havde ni Hundrede Jernvogne, og han havde undertrykt Israels Børn med Magt tyve Aar.
4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
Og Debora, en Kvinde, en Profetinde, Lapidoths Hustru, dømte Israel paa den samme Tid.
5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Og hun boede under Deboras Palmetræ, imellem Rama og Bethel, paa Efraims Bjerg; og Israels Børn gik op til hende for Retten.
6 And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedeshnaphtali, and said to him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
Og hun sendte hen og lod kalde Barak, Abinoams Søn, af Kedes i Nafthali, og hun sagde til ham: Har ikke Herren Israels Gud budet: Gak og saml Folk paa Thabors Bjerg, og tag ti Tusinde Mænd med dig af Nafthali Børn og af Sebulons Børn.
7 And I will draw to thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thy hand.
Og jeg vil drage Sisera, Jabins Stridshøvedsmand, til dig, til Bækken Kison, og hans Vogne og hans Hob; og jeg vil give ham i din Haand.
8 And Barak said to her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
Og Barak sagde til hende: Dersom du vil gaa med mig, da vil jeg gaa; men dersom du ikke vil gaa med mig, vil jeg ikke gaa.
9 And she said, I will surely go with thee: however the journey that thou takest shall not be for thy honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Og hun sagde: Jeg vil visseligen gaa med dig; men du vil dog ikke faa Æren paa den Vej, som du gaar paa, thi Herren skal sælge Sisera i en Kvindes Haand; saa gjorde Debora sig rede og gik med Barak til Kedes.
10 And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
Da kaldte Barak Sebulon og Nafthali sammen til Kedes; og der drog op efter ham ti Tusinde Mænd, og Debora drog op med ham.
11 Now Heber the Kenite, who was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had separated himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent to the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
Og Keniteren Heber havde skilt sig fra Keniterne, Hobabs, Mose Svigerfaders, Børn; og han slog sit Telt op indtil Lunden i Zaannaim, som er ved Kedes.
12 And they showed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to mount Tabor.
Da gave de Sisera til Kende, at Barak, Abinoams Søn, var dragen op paa Bjerget Thabor.
13 And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles to the river of Kishon.
Og Sisera sammenkaldte alle sine Vogne, ni Hundrede Jernvogne, og alt Folket, som var med ham, fra Haroseth Hagojim til Bækken Kison.
14 And Deborah said to Barak, Arise; for this is the day when the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thy hand: hath not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Og Debora sagde til Barak: Staa op, thi dette er den Dag, paa hvilken Herren har givet Sisera i din Haand; er Herren ikke dragen ud for dit Ansigt? Saa drog Barak ned af Bjerget Thabor, og de ti Tusinde Mænd efter ham.
15 And the LORD destroyed Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera came down from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
Da forfærdede Herren Sisera og alle Vognene og al Hæren ved skarpe Sværd for Baraks Ansigt; og Sisera steg af Vognen og flyede til Fods.
16 But Barak pursued the chariots, and the host, to Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
Men Barak forfulgte Vognene og Hæren indtil Haroseth Hagojim; og hele Siseras Lejr faldt for skarpe Sværd, der blev end ikke een tilovers.
17 However Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
Men Sisera flyede til Fods til Jaels, Keniteren Hebers Hustrus, Telt, thi der var Fred imellem Jabin, Kongen af Hazor, og imellem Keniteren Hebers Hus.
18 And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in to her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
Da gik Jael ud imod Sisera og sagde til ham: Tag ind, min Herre! tag ind til mig, frygt ikke; og han tog ind til hende i Teltet, og hun dækkede ham til med et By.
19 And he said to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him a drink, and covered him.
Og han sagde til hende: Kære, giv mig lidt Vand at drikke, thi jeg tørster; da aabnede hun en Mælkeflaske og lod ham drikke og dækkede ham til.
20 Again he said to her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
Og han sagde til hende: Stil dig ved Døren af Teltet, og sker det, at der kommer nogen og spørger dig og siger: Er her nogen? da skal du sige: Her er ingen.
21 Then Jael Heber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
Da tog Jael, Hebers Hustru, en Teltnagel og tog en Hammer i sin Haand og gik ind til ham sagteligen og slog Naglen igennem hans Tinding, at den gik ned i Jorden (thi han sov haardt og var træt), og han døde.
22 And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, Come, and I will show thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
Og se, der Barak forfulgte Sisera, da gik Jael ud imod ham og sagde til ham: Kom, saa vil jeg vise dig den Mand, som du søger efter; og han kom ind til hende, og se, Sisera laa der og var død, og Naglen sad i hans Tinding.
23 So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
Saa ydmygede Gud paa den Dag Jabin, Kanaans Konge, for Israels Børns Ansigt.
24 And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
Og Israels Børns Haand fik Fremgang og blev haard over Jabin, Kanaans Konge, indtil de fik Jabin, Kanaans Konge, udryddet.
