Sudcov 18
1 V těch dnech nebylo krále v Izraeli, a toho času pokolení Dan hledalo sobě dědičného místa k bydlení, nebo se mu ještě nebylo dostalo dílu u prostřed synů Izraelských až do dne toho.
In those days, there was no king in Israel. And the tribe of Dan sought a possession for themselves, so that they might live in it. For even to that day, they had not received their lot among the other tribes.
2 Tedy poslali synové Dan z čeledi své pět mužů z končin svých, mužů silných z Zaraha a Estaol, aby spatřili zemi a pilně prohlédli ji, a řekli jim: Jděte, shlédněte zemi. Kteřížto když přišli na horu Efraim až do domu Míchova, přenocovali tam.
Therefore, the sons of Dan sent five very strong men, of their stock and family, from Zorah and Eshtaol, so that they might explore the land and diligently inspect it. And they said to them, “Go, and consider the land.” And after traveling, they arrived at mount Ephraim, and they entered into the house of Micah. There they rested.
3 Když pak byli blízko domu Míchova, poznali hlas toho mládence Levíty, a uchýlivše se tam, řekli jemu: Kdo tě sem přivedl? Co ty zde děláš? A co ty zde máš?
And they recognized the speech of the youth who was a Levite. And while making use of an inn with him, they said to him: “Who brought you here? What are you doing here? For what reason did you want to come here?”
4 Odpověděl jim: Toto mi a toto učinil Mícha, a ze mzdy najal mne, abych byl jeho knězem.
And he answered them, “Micah has offered me one thing and another, and he has paid me wages, so that I may be his priest.”
5 I řekli jemu: Poraď se, prosíme, s Bohem, abychom věděli, zdaří-li se nám cesta naše, kterouž jdeme.
Then they begged him to consult the Lord, so that they might be able to know whether the journey they undertook would be prosperous, and whether the matter would have success.
6 Odpověděl jim kněz: Jděte v pokoji, Hospodinť spravuje cestu vaši, po níž jdete.
And he responded to them, “Go in peace. The Lord looks with favor on your path, and on the journey that you have undertaken.”
7 Tedy odešlo pět mužů těch, a přišli do Lais, a viděli lid, kterýž tam byl, bezpečně bydlící, vedlé obyčeje Sidonských v zahálce a bezpečnosti, a že nebylo, co by je kormoutiti mělo v té zemi, ani kdo by dědičně ujíti chtěl království. K tomu i od Sidonských vzdáleni byli, aniž spříznění jaké s kým měli.
And so the five men, going on, arrived at Laish. And they saw the people, living in it without any fear, according to the custom of the Sidonians, secure and peaceful, having hardly anyone to oppose them, and with great wealth, and living separately, far from Sidon and from all men.
8 Když se pak navrátili k bratřím svým do Zaraha a Estaol, řekli jim bratří jejich: Což vy?
And they returned to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, who questioned them as to what they had done. And they responded:
9 I odpověděli: Vstaňte a táhněme na ně, nebo shlédli jsme tu zemi, a aj, velmi dobrá jest; a vy mlčíte? Nelenujtež se táhnouti, a vjíti k opanování té země.
“Rise up. Let us ascend to them. For we have seen that the land is very wealthy and fruitful. Do not delay; do not refrain. Let us go out and possess it. There will be no difficulty.
10 (Když přijdete, vejdete k lidu bezpečnému, a do země prostranné; ) nebo dal ji Bůh v ruku vaši, místo, v němž není žádného nedostatku jakýchkoli věcí, kteréž na zemi býti mohou.
We shall enter to those who dwell securely, in a very wide region, and the Lord will deliver the place to us, a place in which there is no lack of anything that grows upon the earth.”
11 Tedy vyšlo z čeledi Dan odtud, totiž z Zaraha a Estaol, šest set mužů oděných v odění válečné.
And so, those of the kindred of Dan set out, that is, six hundred men from Zorah and Eshtaol, girded with the weapons of warfare.
12 A vytáhše, položili se u Kariatjeharim Judova; pročež nazvali to místo Mahane Dan až do dnešního dne, a jest za Kariatjeharim.
And going up, they stayed at Kiriath-jearim of Judah. And so the place, from that time, received the name the Camp of Dan, and it is behind the back of Kiriath-jearim.
13 A odtud táhnouce na horu Efraim, přišli až k domu Míchovu.
From there, they crossed over to mount Ephraim. And when they had arrived at the house of Micah,
14 I mluvilo těch pět mužů, kteříž chodili k shlédnutí země Lais, a řekli bratřím svým: Víte-liž, že v domích těchto jest efod a terafim, a rytina a slitina? Protož nyní vězte, co máte činiti.
the five men, who before had been sent to consider the land of Laish, said to the rest of their brothers: “You know that in these houses there is an ephod and theraphim, and a molten idol and a graven image. Consider what it may please you to do.”
15 A uchýlivše se tam, vešli do domu mládence Levíty v domě Míchově, a pozdravili ho pokojně.
And when they had turned aside a little, they entered the house of the Levite youth, who was in the house of Micah. And they greeted him with peaceful words.
16 Ale šest set mužů oděných v zbroj svou válečnou, kteříž byli z pokolení Dan, stáli přede dveřmi.
Now the six hundred men, who were all armed, were standing before the door.
17 A šedše pět mužů, kteříž chodili k shlédnutí země, vešli tam a vzali rytinu a efod a terafim a slitinu; kněz pak stál u vrat brány s šesti sty muži oděnými v zbroji.
But those who had entered the house of the youth strove to take away the graven image, and the ephod, and the theraphim, and the molten idol. But the priest was standing in front of the door, with the six hundred very strong men waiting not far away.
18 A ti, kteříž vešli do domu Míchova, vzali rytinu, efod a terafim, a slitinu. I řekl jim kněz: Což to děláte?
And so, those who had entered took away the graven image, the ephod, and the theraphim, and the molten idol. And the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”
19 Kteříž odpověděli: Mlč, vlož ruku svou na ústa svá a poď s námi, a budeš nám za otce a za kněze. Což jest lépe tobě, knězem-li býti v domě jednoho člověka, či býti knězem pokolení a čeledi v Izraeli?
And they responded to him: “Be silent and place your finger over your mouth. And come with us, so that we may have you as a father as well as a priest. For which is better for you: to be a priest in the house of one man, or in one tribe and family in Israel?”
20 I zradovalo se srdce kněze, a vzav efod a terafim a rytinu, šel u prostřed lidu toho.
And when he had heard this, he agreed to their words. And he took the ephod, and the idols, and the graven image, and he set out with them.
21 A obrátivše se odešli, a pustili napřed děti a dobytek, a což měli dražšího.
And while traveling, they had also sent the children, and the cattle, and all that was valuable to go ahead of them.
22 Když pak opodál byli od domu Míchova, tedy muži, kteříž bydlili v domích blízkých domu Míchova, shromáždili se a honili syny Dan.
And when they were far from the house of Micah, the men who were living in the houses of Micah, crying out together, followed them.
23 I volali za syny Dan. Kteříž ohlédše se, řekli Míchovi: Cožtě, že jsi jich tolik shromáždil?
And they began to shout behind their backs. And when they had looked back, they said to Micah: “What do you want? Why are you crying out?”
24 Odpověděl: Bohy mé, kteréž jsem udělal, vzali jste, i kněze, a odcházíte. Což pak již budu míti? A ještě se ptáte: Coť jest?
And he responded: “You have taken away my gods, which I made for myself, and the priest, and all that I have. And do you say, ‘What is it that you want?’”
25 Jemuž odpověděli synové Dan: Hlediž, ať více neslyšíme hlasu tvého za sebou, sic jináč oboří se na vás muži hněviví, a ztratíš duši svou i duše domu svého.
And the sons of Dan said to him, “Take care that you no longer speak to us, otherwise men with a mind for violence may overwhelm you, and you yourself would perish with all your house.”
26 I brali se muži Dan cestou svou. A vida Mícha, že by silnější byli nežli on, obrátiv se, šel do domu svého.
And so, they continued on the journey that they had begun. But Micah, seeing that they were stronger than he was, returned to his house.
27 Oni pak vzavše, což byl udělal Mícha, i kněze, kteréhož měl, přitáhli do Lais k lidu zahálivému a bezpečnému; i pobili je ostrostí meče, a město vypálili ohněm.
Now the six hundred men took the priest, and the things we stated above, and they went to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and they struck them down with the edge of the sword. And they burned the city with fire.
28 A nebylo žádného, kdo by jim spomohl; nebo daleko byl Sidon, aniž měli spříznění s kterými lidmi. Město pak bylo v údolí, kteréž jest v Betrohob. A vystavěvše zase město, bydlili v něm.
For no one at all sent reinforcements, because they lived far away from Sidon, and they had no association or business with any man. Now the city was situated in the region of Rehob. And building it up again, they lived in it,
29 A nazvali jméno města toho Dan, od jména otce svého, kterýž narozen byl Izraelovi, ješto prvé jméno města toho bylo Lais.
calling the name of the city Dan, according to the name of their father, who had been born of Israel, though before it was called Laish.
30 Postavili pak sobě synové Dan tu rytinu, a Jonatan syn Gersonův, syna Mojžíšova, on i synové jeho byli kněžími v pokolení Dan, až do dne zajetí obyvatelů země.
And they established for themselves the graven image. And Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, with his sons, were priests in the tribe of Dan, even until the day of their captivity.
31 Vystavili tedy sobě tu rytinu, kterouž udělal Mícha, a byla tam po všecky dny, v nichž dům Boží byl v Sílo.
And the idol of Micah remained with them during the entire time that the house of God was in Shiloh. In those days, there was no king in Israel.
