Judges 18
1 In those days there was no king in Israel; and in those days the tribe of the Danites were seeking for themselves an inheritance to dwell in; for there had not fallen to their share up to that day among the tribes of Israel a [sufficient] inheritance.
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 from their family five men from among themselves, men of valor, from Zor'ah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land. And they came to the mountain of Ephraim, as far as the house of Micah, and 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 They were just by the house of Micah, when they recognized the voice of the young man the Levite; and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what doest 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 hath Micah done unto me; and he hired me, and I became 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 on which we are going 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 on which ye will go.
А свештеник им рече: Идите с миром; по вољи је Господу пут којим идете.
7 And the five men departed, and came to Layish, and saw the people that were therein, dwelling in security, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and no one inflicted any wrong in the land, as hereditary ruler; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no concern 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 Zor'ah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What [news bring] ye?
Па кад се вратише к браћи својој у Сарају и Естаол, рекоше им браћа: Шта је?
9 And they said, Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and you keep still! be not slothful, to go, to enter to take possession of 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 enter, ye will come unto a secure people, and the land is roomy; for God hath given it into your hand; a place where there is no want of anything that is on 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 there of the family of the Danites, out of Zor'ah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men girded with weapons of war.
Тада пођоше оданде из Сараје и Естаола шест стотина људи од породице Данове наоружаних.
12 And they went up, and encamped in Kiryath-ye'arim, in Judah; wherefore they called that place Machaneh-dan until this day; behold, it is behind Kiryath-ye'arim.
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 the mountain of Ephraim, and came as far as the house of Micah.
А оданде пошавши у гору Јефремову дођоше у кућу Мишину.
14 Then commenced the five men that had gone to spy out the country of Layish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there are in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven and molten image? and now 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, unto the house of Micah, and asked him after his welfare.
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 who were of the children of Dan, girded with their weapons of war, remained standing by the entrance of the gate.
А шест стотина људи наоружаних од синова Данових стадоше пред вратима.
17 And the five men that had gone 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 entrance of the gate with the six hundred men that were girded with the 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 took the graven image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image; and the priest said unto them, What are ye doing?
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, Be still, lay thy hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and become to us a father and a priest: is it better that thou 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 became glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and came into the midst of the people.
И свештеник се обрадова у срцу, и узе оплећак и ликове и лик резани, и уђе међу народ.
21 And they turned and went away, and placed the little ones and the cattle and the heavy things before them.
И окренувши се пођоше пустивши децу и стоку и закладе напред.
22 When they were at a distance from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were called together, and they 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 called unto the children of Dan, who turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou hast called out thy people?
И викаше за синовима Дановим, а они обазревши се рекоше Миши: Шта ти је, те си скупио толике људе?
24 And he said, My god which I made have ye taken away, and the priest, and are gone away; and what have I more? and what is this 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, Cause not thy voice to be heard among us, lest men of an embittered spirit assail thee, and thou lose thy life, with the life 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 on 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 what Micah had made, and the priest whom he had had, and came over Layish, over a people that were quiet and secure; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and the city they burnt 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 the people had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Beth-rechob. And they rebuilt the 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: nevertheless, Layish was the name of the city at 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 erected for themselves the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Menasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the exile 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 up for themselves Micah's graven image, which he had 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.
