Judges 18
1 IN those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel.
У то време не беше цара у Израиљу, и у то време племе Даново тражаше себи наследство где би наставало, јер му дотада не беше допало наследство међу племенима Израиљевим.
2 And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.
Зато послаше синови Данови из породице своје пет људи између себе, храбре људе од Сараје и Естаола, да уходе земљу и добро размотре, и рекоше им: Идите, размотрите земљу. И они отидоше у гору Јефремову у кућу Мишину и заноћише онде.
3 When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?
И кад беху код куће Мишине, познаше глас оног младића Левита, и свративши се онамо рекоше му: Ко те доведе овамо? И шта радиш ту? И шта ћеш ту?
4 And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.
А он им рече: Тако и тако учини ми Миха, и најми ме да му будем свештеник.
5 And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.
А они му рекоше: Упитај Бога да знамо хоће ли нам бити срећан пут на који пођосмо.
6 And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the Lord is your way wherein ye go.
А свештеник им рече: Идите с миром; по вољи је Господу пут којим идете.
7 Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in any thing; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man.
И тако пошавши оних пет људи дођоше у Лаис, и видеше тамошњи народ где живи без страха по обичају сидонском, мирно и без страха, и да нема никога у земљи ко би им чим год досађивао или отимао власт, и да су далеко од Сидоњана нити имају шта с ким.
8 And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye?
Па кад се вратише к браћи својој у Сарају и Естаол, рекоше им браћа: Шта је?
9 And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.
А они рекоше: Устајте да идемо на њих; јер видесмо земљу, и врло је добра. И ви не марите? Немојте се ленити, него похитајте да узмете земљу.
10 When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth.
Кад дођете, доћи ћете к народу безбрижном и у земљу пространу; јер је предаде Бог у наше руке; то је место где нема недостатака ни у чем што има на земљи.
11 And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.
Тада пођоше оданде из Сараје и Естаола шест стотина људи од породице Данове наоружаних.
12 And they went up, and pitched in Kirjath-jearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjath-jearim.
И отишавши стадоше у логор код Киријат-Јарима у Јуди; зато се прозва оно место Махане-Дан до данас, и јесте иза Киријат-Јарима.
13 And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.
А оданде пошавши у гору Јефремову дођоше у кућу Мишину.
14 Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do.
Тада проговорише петорица што беху ишли да уходе земљу лаиску, и рекоше браћи својој: Знате ли да у овим кућама има оплећак и ликови, и лик резан и лик ливен? Сада дакле гледајте шта ћете радити.
15 And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.
А они свративши се онамо уђоше у кућу где беше младић Левит, у кућу Мишину, и упиташе га за здравље.
16 And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.
А шест стотина људи наоружаних од синова Данових стадоше пред вратима.
17 And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.
А пет људи што беху ишли да уходе земљу отишавши уђоше и узеше лик резан и оплећак и ликове и лик ливен; а свештеник стајаше на вратима са шест стотина људи наоружаних.
18 And these went into Micah’s house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?
И они што уђоше у кућу Мишину кад узеше лик резани, оплећак, ликове и лик ливени, свештеник им рече: Шта радите?
19 And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?
А они му рекоше: Ћути, метни руку на уста, па хајде с нама, и буди нам отац и свештеник. Шта ти је боље, бити свештеник кући једног човека или бити свештеник племену и породици у Израиљу?
20 And the priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.
И свештеник се обрадова у срцу, и узе оплећак и ликове и лик резани, и уђе међу народ.
21 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them.
И окренувши се пођоше пустивши децу и стоку и закладе напред.
22 And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah’s house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
А кад беху далеко од куће Мишине, онда људи који живљаху у кућама близу куће Мишине скупише се и пођоше у потеру за синовима Дановим.
23 And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?
И викаше за синовима Дановим, а они обазревши се рекоше Миши: Шта ти је, те си скупио толике људе?
24 And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that ye say unto me, What aileth thee?
А он рече: Узели сте моје богове које сам начинио, и свештеника, па отидосте. Шта још имам? Па још кажете: Шта ти је?
25 And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household.
А синови Данови рекоше му: Немој да ти се чује глас за нама, да не би ударили на вас људи гневни, те ћеш изгубити душу своју и душу дома свог.
26 And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.
И синови Данови отидоше својим путем, а Миха, видећи да су јачи од њега врати се и отиде кући својој.
27 And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.
И они узевши шта беше начинио Миха, и свештеника, ког имаше, дођоше у Лаис к народу мирном и безбрижном; па их исекоше оштрим мачем, а град упалише огњем.
28 And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Beth-rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
И не беше никога да их избави; јер беху далеко од Сидона и не имаху ништа ни с ким; а град беше у долини која је код Вет-Реова. После сазидаше град и населише се у њему.
29 And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first.
И назваше град Дан по имену Дана оца свог, који се роди Израиљу; а пре се град зваше Лаис.
30 And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
И синови Данови наместише себи онај лик резани; а Јонатан син Гирсона Манасијиног и синови његови беху свештеници племену Дановом докле се год не исели из земље.
31 And they set them up Micah’s graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
И намештен им стајаше онај лик резани, који начини Миха, за све време докле дом Божји беше у Силому.
