¹In sinovi Izraelovi so zopet delali, kar je bilo zlo v očeh GOSPODOVIH, ko je bil Ehud umrl.

¹And the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah when Ehud is dead,

²In GOSPOD jih je prodal v roko Jabina, kralja Kanaancev, ki je kraljeval v Hazorju, in vojski njegovi poveljnik je bil Sisera, ki je stanoval v Harosetu poganskem.

²and Jehovah selleth them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who hath reigned in Hazor, and the head of his host [is] Sisera, and he is dwelling in Harosheth of the Goyim;

³In sinovi Izraelovi so vpili h GOSPODU; kajti on je imel devetsto železnih voz in hudo jih je stiskal dvajset let.

³and the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, for he hath nine hundred chariots of iron, and he hath oppressed the sons of Israel mightily twenty years.

⁴In Debora, prorokinja, žena Lapidotova, je v tem času sodila Izraelu.

⁴And Deborah, a woman inspired, wife of Lapidoth, she is judging Israel at that time,

⁵In sedevala je pod palmovim drevesom Debore med Ramo in Betelom v Efraimskem gorovju, in sinovi Izraelovi so hodili gori k njej s svojimi pravdami.

⁵and she is dwelling under the palm-tree of Deborah, between Ramah and Beth-El, in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the sons of Israel go up unto her for judgment.

⁶Ta pošlje in pokliče Baraka, sina Abinoamovega iz Kedes-neftalima, in mu reče: Ali ni zapovedal GOSPOD, Bog Izraelov: Pojdi in stopi na goro Tabor in vzemi s seboj deset tisoč mož iz Neftalijevih in Zebulonovih sinov!

⁶And she sendeth and calleth for Barak son of Abinoam, out of Kedesh-Naphtali, and saith unto him, `Hath not Jehovah, God of Israel, commanded? go, and thou hast drawn towards mount Tabor, and hast taken with thee ten thousand men, out of the sons of Naphtali, and out of the sons of Zebulun,

⁷Kajti jaz ti hočem pripeljati k potoku Kisonu Sisera, poveljnika Jabinove vojske, ž njegovimi vozovi in ž njegovo množico, in dam ti ga v roko.

⁷and I have drawn unto thee, unto the brook Kishon, Sisera, head of the host of Jabin, and his chariot, and his multitude, and have given him into thy hand.`

⁸In Barak ji reče: Ako greš z mano, pojdem, ako pa ne greš z mano, ne pojdem.

⁸And Barak saith unto her, `If thou dost go with me, then I have gone; and if thou dost not go with me, I do not go;`

⁹Ona reče: Seveda pojdem s teboj, toda pot, na katero greš, ne bode v tvojo čast, kajti v roko žene izda GOSPOD Sisera. In Debora vstane in gre z Barakom v Kedes.

⁹and she saith, `I do certainly go with thee; only, surely thy glory is not on the way which thou art going, for into the hand of a woman doth Jehovah sell Sisera;` and Deborah riseth and goeth with Barak to Kedesh.

¹⁰Tedaj skliče Barak Zebulona in Neftalija v Kedes, in gre gori peš z deset tisoč možmi; tudi Debora ga spremlja.

¹⁰And Barak calleth Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and he goeth up — at his feet [are] ten thousand men — and Deborah goeth up with him.

¹¹Heber pa, Kenejec, se je bil ločil od Kenejskih, od sinov Hobaba, Mojzesovega svaka, in je postavil svoje šatore tja do hrasta v Zaananimu, ki je poleg Kedesa.

¹¹And Heber the Kenite hath been separated from the Kenite, from the sons of Hobab father-in-law of Moses, and he stretcheth out his tent unto the oak in Zaanaim, which [is] by Kedesh.

¹²In sporoči se Siseru, da je šel Barak, sin Abinoamov, na goro Tabor.

¹²And they declare to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam hath gone up to mount Tabor,

¹³In Sisera zbere vse vozove svoje, devetsto železnih voz, in vse ljudstvo, ki je bilo pri njem, od Haroseta poganskega k potoku Kisonu.

¹³and Sisera calleth all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who [are] with him, from Harosheth of the Goyim, unto the brook Kishon.

¹⁴Debora pa reče Baraku: Vstani, kajti to je dan, v katerem ti je dal GOSPOD Sisera v roko; ni li šel GOSPOD pred teboj? Tedaj stopi Barak doli z gore Tabora in deset tisoč mož za njim.

¹⁴And Deborah saith unto Barak, `Rise, for this [is] the day in which Jehovah hath given Sisera into thy hand; hath not Jehovah gone out before thee?` And Barak goeth down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.

¹⁵In GOSPOD je spravil v zmešnjavo Sisera in vse vozove njegove in vso vojsko njegovo z ostrino meča pred Barakom, tako da skoči Sisera s svojega voza in beži peš.

¹⁵And Jehovah destroyeth Sisera, and all the chariots, and all the camp, by the mouth of the sword, before Barak, and Sisera cometh down from off the chariot, and fleeth on his feet.

¹⁶Barak pa tira vozove in vojsko do Haroseta poganskega, in vsa vojska Siserova pade z ostrino meča; ni ostalo enega moža.

¹⁶And Barak hath pursued after the chariots and after the camp, unto Harosheth of the Goyim, and all the camp of Sisera falleth by the mouth of the sword — there hath not been left even one.

¹⁷Sisera pa je bežal peš v šator Jaele, žene Heberja, Kenejca; kajti mir je bil med Jabinom, kraljem v Hazorju, in hišo Heberja Kenejca.

¹⁷And Sisera hath fled on his feet unto the tent of Jael wife of Heber the Kenite, for peace [is] between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite;

¹⁸In Jaela gre ven Siseru naproti ter mu reče: Stópi noter, gospod moj, stopi noter k meni in se ne boj! In stopi noter k njej v šator, in ona ga pokrije z odejo.

¹⁸and Jael goeth out to meet Sisera, and saith unto him, `Turn aside, my lord, turn aside unto me, fear not;` and he turneth aside unto her, into the tent, and she covereth him with a coverlet.

¹⁹On pa ji reče: Daj mi, prosim, malo vode piti, žejen sem. Ona odveže meh z mlekom in mu da piti in ga pokrije.

¹⁹And he saith unto her, `Give me to drink, I pray thee, a little water, for I am thirsty;` and she openeth the bottle of milk, and giveth him to drink, and covereth him.

²⁰In on ji veli: Stoj ob vhodu v šator, in ako kdo pride in te vpraša, je li kdo tukaj, mu reci: Ni nikogar.

²⁰And he saith unto her, `Stand at the opening of the tent, and it hath been, if any doth come in, and hath asked thee, and said, Is there a man here? that thou hast said, There is not.`

²¹Tedaj vzame Jaela, Heberjeva žena, klin od šatora in kladivo v roko in gre tiho noter k njemu ter mu zabije klin skozi sence, da predere do zemlje. Kajti utrujen je trdo zaspal, in tako je umrl.

²¹And Jael wife of Heber taketh the pin of the tent, and taketh the hammer in her hand, and goeth unto him gently, and striketh the pin into his temples, and it fasteneth in the earth — and he hath been fast asleep, and is weary — and he dieth.

²²In glej, Barak se žene za Siserom; in Jaela mu pride naproti ter mu reče: Pojdi sem, jaz ti pokažem moža, ki ga iščeš. In stopi noter za njo, in glej, Sisera leži tu mrtev, in klin tiči v sencih njegovih.

²²And lo, Barak is pursuing Sisera, and Jael cometh out to meet him, and saith to him, `Come, and I shew thee the man whom thou art seeking;` and he cometh in unto her, and lo, Sisera is fallen — dead, and the pin in his temples.

²³Tako je Bog tisti dan potlačil Jabina, kralja Kanaancev, pred Izraelovimi sinovi.In roka Izraelovih sinov je bolj in bolj pritiskala na Jabina, kralja Kanaancev, dokler ga niso zatrli.

²³And God humbleth on that day Jabin king of Canaan before the sons of Israel,

²⁴In roka Izraelovih sinov je bolj in bolj pritiskala na Jabina, kralja Kanaancev, dokler ga niso zatrli.

²⁴and the hand of the sons of Israel goeth, going on and becoming hard on Jabin king of Canaan, till that they have cut off Jabin king of Canaan.
