1Toho dňa spievala Debora a Barák, syn Abinoamov, povediac:
1Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
2Za to, že sa vojvodcovia postavili na čelo Izraelovi, za to, že sa ľud dobrovoľne dostanovil do boja, dobrorečte Hospodinovi!
2For that the leaders took the lead in Israel, For that the people offered themselves willingly, Bless ye Jehovah.
3Počujte, kráľovia! Uši nastaviac pozorujte, kniežatá! Ja, Hospodinovi ja budem spievať! Žalmy budem spievať Hospodinovi, Bohu Izraelovmu.
3Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, [even] I, will sing unto Jehovah; I will sing praise to Jehovah, the God of Israel.
4Hospodine, keď si vyšiel zo Seira, keď si kráčal s poľa Edomovho, triasla sa zem, áno, aj nebesia kropily, aj oblaky kropily vodou.
4Jehovah, when thou wentest forth out of Seir, When thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, The earth trembled, the heavens also dropped, Yea, the clouds dropped water.
5Vrchy sa rozplývaly od tvári Hospodinovej, toď Sinai, od tvári Hospodina, Boha Izraelovho.
5The mountains quaked at the presence of Jehovah, Even yon Sinai at the presence of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
6Za dní Samgara, syna Anátovho, za dní Jaheli boly prestaly cesty, a tí, ktorí chodievali chodníkmi, chodili krivými cestami postrannými.
6In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, And the travellers walked through byways.
7Prestaly boly otvorené dediny v Izraelovi, prestaly, dokiaľ som nepovstala ja Debora, dokiaľ som nepovstala, matka v Izraelovi.
7The rulers ceased in Israel, they ceased, Until that I Deborah arose, That I arose a mother in Israel.
8Keď si zvolili nových bohov, hneď bola vtedy vojna v bránach. A či azda bolo vidieť štít alebo kopiju medzi štyridsiatimi tisícami v Izraelovi?
8They chose new gods; Then was war in the gates: Was there a shield or spear seen Among forty thousand in Israel?
9Moje srdce je obrátené k vojvodcom Izraelovým, k dobrovoľným z ľudu. Dobrorečte Hospodinovi!
9My heart is toward the governors of Israel, That offered themselves willingly among the people: Bless ye Jehovah.
10Vy, ktorí jazdíte na bielych osliciach, ktorí sedíte na pokrovcoch, ako aj vy, ktorí chodíte po cestách, rozprávajte!
10Tell [of it], ye that ride on white asses, Ye that sit on rich carpets, And ye that walk by the way.
11Vzdialení od kriku strelcov, už v pokojnej práci medzi válovmi vody: tam nech oslavujú skutky spravedlivosti Hospodina, skutky spravedlivosti jeho otvorenej osady v Izraelovi! Vtedy sostúpil do brán utečený ľud Hospodinov!
11Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, There shall they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, [Even] the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.
12Zobuď sa, zobuď, Deboro! Zobuď sa, zobuď, a hovor pieseň! Povstaň, Baráku, a zajmi svojich zajatých, synu Abinoamov!
12Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, utter a song: Arise, Barak, and lead away thy captives, thou son of Abinoam.
13Vtedy zavládol pozostalec, slávnymi zavládol obecný ľud. Hospodin mi dal zavládnuť nad silnými mužmi bojovnými.
13Then came down a remnant of the nobles [and] the people; Jehovah came down for me against the mighty.
14Z Efraima, ich koreň išiel proti Amalechovi, za tebou, Efraime, Benjamin, s tvojím ľudom. Zo synov Machíra sišli zákonodarci a zo Zabulona tí, ktorí vedú pero pisára.
14Out of Ephraim [came down] they whose root is in Amalek; After thee, Benjamin, among thy peoples; Out of Machir came down governors, And out of Zebulun they that handle the marshal's staff.
15Kniežatá z Izachára s Deborou, a celý Izachár, tak Barák, poslaný bol do údolia peší. Pri potokoch Rúbenových chopené boly veľké myšlienky srdca.
15And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; As was Issachar, so was Barak; Into the valley they rushed forth at his feet. By the watercourses of Reuben There were great resolves of heart.
16Prečo si sedel medzi dvoma ohradami počúvať pískanie fujary v pohodlí pri pasení stád? Pri potokoch Rúbenových veľké výstihy srdca!
16Why sattest thou among the sheepfolds, To hear the pipings for the flocks? At the watercourses of Reuben There were great searchings of heart.
17Gileád býval za Jordánom. A Dán prečože zostal pri lodiach? Aser sedel na brehu mora a býval nad svojimi zátokami.
17Gilead abode beyond the Jordan: And Dan, why did he remain in ships? Asher sat still at the haven of the sea, And abode by his creeks.
18Zabulon, udatný ľud, ktorý zarieknul svoju dušu na smrť a Naftali to isté na vysokých miestach poľa.
18Zebulun was a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death, And Naphtali, upon the high places of the field.
19Prišli kráľovia, bojovali; vtedy bojovali kráľovia Kanaána, v Tánachu, pri vodách Megidda. Kúska striebra nevzali koristi.
19The kings came and fought; Then fought the kings of Canaan. In Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: They took no gain of money.
20Z neba bojovali, hviezdy so svojich vysokých ciest silných bojovaly so Sizerom.
20From heaven fought the stars, From their courses they fought against Sisera.
21Potok Kišon ich smietol, potok pravekov, potok Kišon. Pošliapala si, moja duša, silu.
21The river Kishon swept them away, That ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, march on with strength.
22Vtedy dupotaly kopytá koňa; dupotaly od rýchleho behu, rýchleho behu jeho silných.
22Then did the horsehoofs stamp By reason of the prancings, the prancings of their strong ones.
23Zlorečte mestu Mérozu! hovorí anjel Hospodinov. Veľmi zlorečte jeho obyvateľom, lebo neprišli na pomoc Hospodinovi, na pomoc Hospodinovi medzi hrdinami.
23Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of Jehovah. Curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof, Because they came not to the help of Jehovah, To the help of Jehovah against the mighty.
24Nech je požehnaná nad iné ženy Jaheľ, žena Chebera Kénijského! Nad iné ženy nech je požehnaná vo svojom stáne!
24Blessed above women shall Jael be, The wife of Heber the Kenite; Blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
25Vody žiadal, podala mlieka, v kniežacej čaši priniesla smotany.
25He asked water, [and] she gave him milk; She brought him butter in a lordly dish.
26Svoju ľavú ruku vystrela po kline a svoju pravicu po kladive tých, ktorí robia ťažkú prácu. A uderila Sizeru kladivom, rozdrtila jeho hlavu, roztĺkla, prerazila jeho sluchu.
26She put her hand to the tent-pin, And her right hand to the workmen's hammer; And with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote through his head; Yea, she pierced and struck through his temples.
27Skrčil sa pri jej nohách, padol, ležal. Pri jej nohách sa skrčil, padol; na mieste, kde sa skrčil, tam i padol zabitý.
27At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay; At her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
28Oknom vyzerala a hlasne volala mater Sizerova, cez mrežu. Prečo tak dlho nejde jeho voz? Prečo tak pozdia kroky jeho záprahov?
28Through the window she looked forth, and cried, The mother of Sisera [cried] through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
29Múdre medzi jej kňažnami jej odpovedaly, áno, aj ona sama odpovedala sama sebe:
29Her wise ladies answered her, Yea, she returned answer to herself,
30Či azda nenašli? Či nedelia koristi? Dievča, po dvoch dievčatách na muža; ukoristené rúcha pestrofarebné dostanú sa Sizerovi; ukoristené rúcha pestrofarebné, vyšívané, pestrofarebné, vyšívané na obe strany, na hrdlo koristi!
30Have they not found, have they not divided the spoil? A damsel, two damsels to every man; To Sisera a spoil of dyed garments, A spoil of dyed garments embroidered, Of dyed garments embroidered on both sides, on the necks of the spoil?
31Tak nech zahynú všetci tvoji nepriatelia, ó, Hospodine! A tí, ktorí ho milujú, nech sú jako slnce, keď vychádza vo svojej hrdinskej sile. - A zem mala pokoj štyridsať rokov.
31So let all thine enemies perish, O Jehovah: But let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
