¹The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, when Ehud was dead.

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

²Yahweh sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth of the Gentiles.

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.

³The children of Israel cried to Yahweh: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.

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

⁴Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.

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

⁵She lived under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.

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.

⁶She sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh Naphtali, and said to him, “Hasn’t Yahweh, the God of Israel, commanded, ‘Go and draw to Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?

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!

⁷I will draw to you, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into your hand.’”

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.

⁸Barak said to her, “If you will go with me, then I will go; but if you will not go with me, I will not go.”

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

⁹She said, “I will surely go with you: nevertheless, the journey that you take shall not be for your honor; for Yahweh will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.

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.

¹⁰Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh; and there went up ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.

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

¹¹Now Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab the brother-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.

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.

¹²They told Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to Mount Tabor.

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

¹³Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles, to the river Kishon.

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

¹⁴Deborah said to Barak, “Go; for this is the day in which Yahweh has delivered Sisera into your hand. Hasn’t Yahweh gone out before you?” So Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.

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.

¹⁵Yahweh confused Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his army, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.

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.

¹⁶But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the army, to Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; there was not a man left.

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

¹⁷However 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.

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

¹⁸Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, “Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; don’t be afraid.” He came in to her into the tent, and she covered him with a rug.

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.

¹⁹He said to her, “Please give me a little water to drink; for I am thirsty.” She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.

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

²⁰He said to her, “Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man comes and inquires of you, and says, ‘Is there any man here?’ that you shall say, ‘No.’”

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

²¹Then Jael Heber’s wife took a tent peg, and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him, and struck the pin into his temples, and it pierced through into the ground; for he was in a deep sleep; so he swooned and died.

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.

²²Behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek.” He came to her; and behold, Sisera lay dead, and the tent peg was in his temples.

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.

²³So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.

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.

²⁴The hand of the children of Israel prevailed more and more against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.

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