Judges 18
1 In those dayes there was no King in Israel, and at the same time the tribe of Dan sought them an inheritance to dwell in: for vnto that time all their inheritance had not fallen vnto them among the tribes of Israel.
U to vrijeme ne bješe cara u Izrailju, i u to vrijeme pleme Danovo tražaše sebi našljedstvo gdje bi nastavalo, jer mu do tada ne bješe dopalo našljedstvo meðu plemenima Izrailjevijem.
2 Therefore the children of Dan sent of their familie, fiue men out of their coastes, euen men expert in warre, out of Zorah and Eshtaol, to viewe the lande and search it out, and saide vnto them, Goe, and search out the lande. Then they came to mount Ephraim to the house of Michah and lodged there.
Zato poslaše sinovi Danovi iz porodice svoje pet ljudi izmeðu sebe, hrabre ljude od Saraje i Estaola, da uhode zemlju i dobro razmotre, i rekoše im: idite, razmotrite zemlju. I oni otidoše u goru Jefremovu u kuæu Mišinu i zanoæiše ondje.
3 When they were in the house of Michah, they knewe the voyce of the yong man the Leuite: and being turned in thither, they saide vnto him, Who brought thee hither? or what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou to doe here?
I kad bijahu kod kuæe Mišine, poznaše glas onoga mladiæa Levita, i svrativši se onamo rekoše mu: ko te dovede ovamo? i šta radiš tu? i šta æeš tu?
4 And he answered them, Thus and thus dealeth Michah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his Priest.
A on im reèe: tako i tako uèini mi Miha, i najmi me da mu budem sveštenik.
5 Againe they said vnto him, Aske counsell nowe of God, that we may knowe whether the way which we goe, shalbe prosperous.
A oni mu rekoše: upitaj Boga da znamo hoæe li nam biti sreæan put na koji poðosmo.
6 And the Priest sayde vnto them, Goe in peace: for the Lord guideth your way which ye goe.
A sveštenik im reèe: idite s mirom; po volji je Gospodu put kojim idete.
7 Then the fiue men departed and came to Laish, and sawe the people that were therein, which dwelt carelesse, after the maner of the Zidonians, quiet and sure, because no man made any trouble in the lande, or vsurped any dominion: also they were farre from the Zidonians, and had no businesse with other men.
I tako pošavši onijeh pet ljudi doðoše u Lais, i vidješe tamošnji narod gdje živi bez straha po obièaju Sidonskom, mirno i bez straha, i da nema nikoga u zemlji ko bi im èimgod dosaðivao ili otimao vlast, i da su daleko od Sidonjana niti imaju šta s kim.
8 So they came againe vnto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren saide vnto them, What haue ye done?
Pa kad se vratiše k braæi svojoj u Saraju i Estaol, rekoše im braæa: što je?
9 And they answered, Arise, that we may goe vp against them: for we haue seene the lande, and surely it is very good, and doe ye sit stil? be not slouthfull to goe and enter to possesse the lande:
A oni rekoše: ustajte da idemo na njih; jer vidjesmo zemlju, i vrlo je dobra. I vi ne marite? nemojte se lijeniti, nego pohitajte da uzmete zemlju.
10 (If ye will goe, ye shall come vnto a carelesse people, and the countrey is large) for God hath giuen it into your hande. It is a place which doeth lacke nothing that is in the worlde.
Kad doðete, doæi æete k narodu bezbrižnom i u zemlju prostranu; jer je predade Bog u vaše ruke; to je mjesto gdje nema nedostataka ni u èem što ima na zemlji.
11 Then there departed thence of the familie of the Danites, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, sixe hundreth men appointed with instruments of warre.
Tada poðoše odande iz Saraje i Estaola šest stotina ljudi od porodice Danove naoružanijeh.
12 And they went vp, and pitched in Kiriath-iearim in Iudah: wherefore they called that place, Mahaneh-Dan vnto this day: and it is behinde Kiriath-iearim.
I otišavši stadoše u oko kod Kirijat-Jarima u Judi; zato se prozva ono mjesto Mahane-Dan do danas, i jest iza Kirijat-Jarima.
13 And they went thence vnto mount Ephraim, and came to the house of Michah.
A odande pošavši u goru Jefremovu doðoše u kuæu Mišinu.
14 Then answered the fiue men, that went to spie out the countrey of Laish, and said vnto their brethren, Knowe ye not, that there is in these houses an Ephod, and Teraphim, and a grauen and a molten image? Nowe therefore consider what ye haue to doe.
Tada progovoriše petorica što bijahu išli da uhode zemlju Laisku, i rekoše braæi svojoj: znate li da u ovijem kuæama ima opleæak i likova, i lik rezan i lik liven? Sada dakle gledajte što æete raditi.
15 And they turned thitherward and came to the house of the yong man the Leuite, euen vnto the house of Michah, and saluted him peaceably.
A oni svrativši se onamo uðoše u kuæu gdje bješe mladiæ Levit, u kuæu Mišinu, i upitaše ga za zdravlje.
16 And the six hundreth men appointed with their weapons of warre, which were of the children of Dan, stoode by the entring of the gate.
A šest stotina ljudi naoružanijeh od sinova Danovijeh stadoše pred vratima.
17 Then the fiue men that went to spie out the land, went in thither, and tooke the grauen image and the Ephod, and the Teraphim, and the molten image: and the Priest stoode in the entring of the gate with the sixe hundreth men, that were appointed with weapons of warre,
A pet ljudi što bjehu išli da uhode zemlju otišavši uðoše i uzeše lik rezan i opleæak i likove i lik liven; a sveštenik stajaše na vratima sa šest stotina ljudi naoružanijeh.
18 And the other went into Michahs house and fet the grauen image, the Ephod, and the Teraphim, and the molten image. Then saide the Priest vnto them, What doe ye?
I oni što uðoše u kuæu Mišinu kad uzeše lik rezani, opleæak, likove i lik liveni, sveštenik im reèe: šta radite?
19 And they answered him, Holde thy peace: lay thine hande vpon thy mouth, and come with vs to be our father and Priest. Whether is it better that thou shouldest be a Priest vnto ye house of one man, or that thou shouldest be a Priest vnto a tribe and to a familie in Israel?
A oni mu rekoše: muèi, metni ruku na usta, pa hajde s nama, i budi nam otac i sveštenik. Što ti je bolje, biti sveštenik kuæi jednoga èovjeka ili biti sveštenik plemenu i porodici u Izrailju?
20 And the Priestes heart was glad, and hee tooke the Ephod and the Teraphim, and the grauen image, and went among the people.
I sveštenik se obradova u srcu, i uze opleæak i likove i lik rezani, i uðe meðu narod.
21 And they turned and departed, and put the children, and the cattell, and the substance before them.
I okrenuvši se poðoše pustivši djecu i stoku i zaklade naprijed.
22 When they were farre off from the house of Michah, the men that were in the houses neere to Michahs house, gathered together, and pursued after the children of Dan,
A kad bijahu daleko od kuæe Mišine, onda ljudi koji življahu u kuæama blizu kuæe Mišine skupiše se i poðoše u potjeru za sinovima Danovijem.
23 And cryed vnto the children of Dan: who turned their faces, and said vnto Michah, What ayleth thee, that thou makest an outcrie?
I vikaše za sinovima Danovijem, a oni obazrevši se rekoše Miši: što ti je, te si skupio tolike ljude?
24 And hee saide, Yee haue taken away my gods, which I made, and the Priest, and go your wayes: and what haue I more? howe then say ye vnto me, what ayleth thee?
A on reèe: uzeli ste moje bogove koje sam naèinio, i sveštenika, pa otidoste. Šta još imam? pa još kažete: što ti je?
25 And the children of Dan sayde vnto him, Let not thy voyce be heard among vs, least angrie fellowes runne vpon thee, and thou lose thy life with the liues of thine housholde.
A sinovi Danovi rekoše mu: nemoj da ti se èuje glas za nama, da ne bi udarili na vas ljudi gnjevni, te æeš izgubiti dušu svoju i dušu doma svojega.
26 So the children of Dan went their wayes: and when Michah saw that they were too strong for him, hee turned, and went backe vnto his house.
I sinovi Danovi otidoše svojim putem, a Miha videæi da su jaèi od njega vrati se i otide kuæi svojoj.
27 And they tooke the things which Michah had made, and the Priest which he had, and came vnto Laish, vnto a quiet people and without mistrust, and smote them with the edge of the sworde, and burnt the citie with fire:
I oni uzevši što bješe naèinio Miha, i sveštenika, kojega imaše, doðoše u Lais k narodu mirnom i bezbrižnom; pa ih isjekoše oštrijem maèem, a grad upališe ognjem.
28 And there was none to helpe, because Laish was farre from Zidon, and they had no businesse with other men: also it was in the valley that lyeth by Beth-rehob. After, they built the citie, and dwelt therein,
I ne bješe nikoga da ih izbavi; jer bijahu daleko od Sidona i ne imahu ništa ni s kim; a grad bijaše u dolini koja je kod Vet-Reova. Poslije sazidaše grad i naseliše se u njemu.
29 And called the name of the citie Dan, after the name of Dan their father which was borne vnto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the beginning.
I nazvaše grad Dan po imenu Dana oca svojega, koji se rodi Izrailju; a prije se grad zvaše Lais.
30 Then the children of Dan set them vp the grauen image: and Ionathan the sonne of Gershom, the sonne of Manasseh and his sonnes were the Priestes in the tribe of the Danites vntil the day of the captiuitie of the lande.
I sinovi Danovi namjestiše sebi onaj lik rezani; a Jonatan sin Girsona sina Manasijina i sinovi njegovi bijahu sveštenici plemenu Danovu dokle se god ne iseli iz zemlje.
31 So they set them vp the grauen image, which Michah had made, all the while the house of God was in Shiloh.
I namješten im stajaše onaj lik rezani, koji naèini Miha, za sve vrijeme dokle dom Božji bijaše u Silomu.
