Judges 18
1 In those days there is no king in Israel, and in those days the tribe of the Danite is seeking an inheritance to inhabit for itself, for [that] has not fallen to it to that day in the midst of the tribes of Israel by inheritance.
Tanīs dienās ķēniņa nebija iekš Israēla, un tanīs dienās Daniešu cilts meklēja īpašu vietu priekš sevis, kur varētu dzīvot, jo viņai nekāda īpaša vieta starp Israēla ciltīm nebija piešķirta līdz tai dienai.
2 And the sons of Dan send, out of their family, five of their men—men, sons of valor—from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to traverse the land, and to search it, and they say to them, “Go, search the land”; and they come into the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodge there.
Tad Dana bērni no saviem radiem sūtīja kādus piecus vīrus, no savējiem, kas bija stipri, no Careās un Estaoles, zemi izlūkot un pārmeklēt, un tie uz viņiem sacīja: ejat, pārmeklējiet zemi. Un tie nāca pie Efraīma kalniem līdz Mihas namam un palika turpat par nakti.
3 They [are] with the household of Micah, and they have discerned the voice of the young man, the Levite, and turn aside there, and say to him, “Who has brought you here? And what are you doing in this [place]? And why are you here?”
Un tur pie Mihas nama būdami viņi pazina tā jaunekļa, tā Levita, balsi un nogriezās uz turieni un sacīja uz to: kas tevi še atvedis? Un ko tu še dari? Un kas tev šeitan ir?
4 And he says to them, “Thus and thus has Micah done to me; and he hires me, and I am for a priest to him.”
Un tas uz viņiem sacīja: tā un tā man Miha darījis un mani saderējis, un es viņam esmu par priesteri.
5 And they say to him, “Please ask of God, and we know whether our way on which we are going is prosperous.”
Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: vaicā jel Dievam, ka mēs atzīstam, vai mūsu ceļš labi izdosies, ko ejam?
6 And the priest says to them, “Go in peace; before YHWH [is] your way in which you go.”
Un tas priesteris uz tiem sacīja: ejat ar mieru! Jūsu ceļš, ko ejat, ir taisns priekš Tā Kunga.
7 And the five men go, and come to Laish, and see the people which [is] in its midst, dwelling confidently, according to the custom of Zidonians, quiet and confident; and there is none putting to shame in the land in [any] thing, possessing restraint, and they [are] far off from the Zidonians, and have no word with [any] man.
Tad tie pieci vīri nogāja un nāca uz Laīsu un ieraudzīja tos ļaudis tai vidū droši dzīvojam, pēc Sidoniešu ieraduma mierīgi un droši, un tai zemē nebija neviena valdītāja, kas kādas lietas dēļ kādu apbēdinātu; un tie bija arī tālu no Sidoniešiem un tiem nebija nekādas darīšanas ar nekādu cilvēku.
8 And they come to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brothers say to them, “What [did] you [find]?”
Un tie nāca pie saviem brāļiem uz Careū un Estaoli, un viņu brāļi uz tiem sacīja: ko jūs sakāt?
9 And they say, “Rise, and we go up against them, for we have seen the land, and behold—very good; and you are keeping silent! Do not be slothful to go—to enter to possess the land.
Tad tie sacīja: celsimies un iesim pret tiem, jo mēs to zemi esam izlūkojuši, un redzi, tā ir ļoti laba; un jūs turaties klusu? Neesiet kūtri iet, ka nākat to zemi uzņemt.
10 When you go, you come to a confident people, and the land [is] large on both hands, for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no lack of anything which [is] in the land.”
Kad jūs nākat, tad jūs nākat pie drošiem ļaudīm, un tai zemei ir plašas robežas; jo Dievs to devis jūsu rokās, vietu, kur nekāda trūkuma nav nekādā lietā, kas ir virs zemes.
11 And there journey there, of the family of the Danite, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, six hundred men girded with weapons of war.
Tad no turienes, no Daniešu radiem, no Careās un Estaoles, aizgāja sešsimt apbruņoti karavīri.
12 And they go up and encamp in Kirjath-Jearim, in Judah, therefore they have called that place, “Camp of Dan,” until this day; behold, behind Kirjath-Jearim.
Un tie cēlās un apmetas KiriatJearimā iekš Jūda; tādēļ to vietu nosauc par Dana lēģeri līdz šai dienai; redzi tas ir aiz KiriatJearimas.
13 And they pass over there [to] the hill-country of Ephraim, and come to the house of Micah.
Un no turienes tie gāja uz Efraīma kalniem un nāca pie Mihas nama.
14 And the five men, those going to traverse the land of Laish, answer and say to their brothers, “Have you known that in these houses there is an ephod, and teraphim, and carved image, and molten image? And now, know what you do.”
Tad tie pieci vīri, kas bija gājuši Laisas zemi izlūkot, sacīja uz saviem brāļiem: vai jūs zināt, ka šinī namā ir efods un elka dievi un izgriezts tēls un lieta bilde? Tad nu jūs paši varat zināt, kas jums jādara.
15 And they turn aside there, and come to the house of the young man, the Levite, the house of Micah, and ask of him of welfare—
Un tie nogriezās uz turieni un nāca pie tā jaunekļa, tā Levita, namu, pie Mihas nama, un to apsveicināja mīlīgi.
16 (and the six hundred men girded with their weapons of war, who [are] of the sons of Dan, are standing at the opening of the gate)—
Bet tie sešsimt vīri, kas bija no Dana bērniem, ar kara rīkiem apbruņoti, stāvēja pie vārtiem.
17 indeed, the five men, those going to traverse the land, go up—they have come in there—they have taken the carved image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image—and the priest is standing at the opening of the gate, and the six hundred men who are girded with weapons of war—
Bet tie pieci vīri, kas bija gājuši zemi izlūkot, nāca uz turieni un paņēma to izgriezto tēlu un to efodu un tos elka dievus un to lieto bildi, un tas priesteris stāvēja pie vārtiem ar tiem sešsimt apbruņotiem vīriem.
18 indeed, these have entered the house of Micah, and take the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image; and the priest says to them, “What are you doing?”
Kad nu šie Mihas namā nāca un paņēma to izgriezto tēlu un to efodu un tos elka dievus un to lieto bildi, tad tas priesteris uz tiem sacīja:
19 And they say to him, “Keep silent, lay your hand on your mouth, and go with us, and be for a father and for a priest to us: is it better your being a priest for the house of one man, or your being priest for a tribe and for a family in Israel?”
Ko jūs darāt? Un tie uz viņu sacīja: klusu, turi muti, un ej mums līdz un esi mums par tēvu un par priesteri. Vai tas tev labāki, viena vienīga vīra namā būt par priesteri nekā pie vienas cilts un viena rada iekš Israēla?
20 And the heart of the priest is glad, and he takes the ephod, and the teraphim, and the carved image, and goes into the midst of the people,
Tad tas tam priesterim bija pa prātam, un viņš ņēma to efodu un tos elka dievus un to izgriezto tēlu un gāja līdz to ļaužu vidū.
21 and they turn and go, and put the infants, and the livestock, and the baggage, before them.
Un viņi griezās atpakaļ un nogāja un laida papriekš bērniņus un ganāmo pulku un savas dārgās lietas.
22 They have been far off from the house of Micah—and the men who [are] in the houses which [are] near the house of Micah have been called together, and overtake the sons of Dan,
Kad tie nu tālu no Mihas nama bija nākuši, tad tie vīri tapa sasaukti, kas bija tais namos pie Mihas nama, un tie panāca Dana bērnus un uzsauca tiem Dana bērniem.
23 and call to the sons of Dan, and they turn their faces around, and say to Micah, “What [is this] to you that you have been called together?”
Bet šie atgriezās un sacīja uz Miha: kas tev ir, ka tu savus ļaudis esi sasaucis?
24 And he says, “You have taken my gods which I made, and the priest, and you go; and what more do I [have]? And what [is] this you say to me, What [is this] to you?”
Tad viņš sacīja: jūs manus dievus, ko es esmu taisījis, esat atņēmuši līdz ar to priesteri un esat aizgājuši; kas tad nu man vēl ir? Un jūs sakāt uz mani: kas tev kait?
25 And the sons of Dan say to him, “Do not let your voice be heard with us, lest men bitter in soul fall on you, and you have gathered your life, and the life of your household”;
Bet Dana bērni uz viņu sacīja: lai tava balss pie mums netop dzirdēta, ka ļauni vīri pār tēvi nenāk un tu nepazaudē savu dzīvību līdz ar sava nama dzīvību.
26 and the sons of Dan go on their way, and Micah sees that they are stronger than he, and turns, and goes back to his house.
Tā Dana bērni aizgāja pa savu ceļu. Un kad Miha redzēja, ka tie jo stiprāki bija nekā viņš, tad viņš griezās atpakaļ uz savu namu.
27 And they have taken that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and come in against Laish, against a people quiet and confident, and strike them by the mouth of the sword, and have burned the city with fire,
Bet tie to ņēma, ko Miha bija taisījis, un to priesteri, kas viņam bija bijis, un gāja uz Laīsu pie tiem ļaudīm, kas mierīgi un droši dzīvoja, un tos apkāva ar zobena asmeni, un to pilsētu sadedzināja ar uguni.
28 and there is no deliverer, for it [is] far off from Sidon, and they have no word with [any] man, and it [is] in the valley which [is] by Beth-Rehob; and they build the city, and dwell in it,
Un nebija neviena, kas tos būtu izglābis, jo tā bija tālu no Sidonas, un tiem nebija nekādas darīšanas ar ļaudīm, un tā pilsēta stāvēja tai ielejā, kas ir pie BetRehobas. Un tie uztaisīja to pilsētu no jauna un dzīvoja tur.
29 and call the name of the city Dan, by the name of their father Dan, who was born to Israel; and yet Laish [is] the name of the city at the first.
Un tie nosauca tās pilsētas vārdu Dan, pēc sava tēva Dana vārda, kas Israēlim bija dzimis, jebšu tās pilsētas vārds papriekš bija Laīsa.
30 And the sons of Dan raise up the carved image for themselves, and Jonathan son of Gershom, son of Manasseh, he and his sons have been priests for the tribe of the Danite, until the day of the expulsion of [the people] of the land.
Un Dana bērni tur uzcēla to izgriezto tēlu priekš sevis, un Jonatāns, Manasus dēla, Geršona, dēls un viņa dēli bija priesteri Daniešu ciltī līdz tai dienai, kad tās zemes ļaudis tapa aizvesti.
31 And they appoint for themselves the carved image of Micah, which he had made, all the days of the house of God being in Shiloh.
Tā tie priekš sevis uzcēla Mihas izgriezto tēlu, ko tas bija taisījis, kamēr Dieva nams bija Šīlo.
