< Judges 18 >

1 In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the Danites was looking for an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day, their inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.
В тыя дни не бяше царя во Израили: и в тыя дни племя Даново искаше себе наследия вселитися, яко не паде ему наследие до дний оных среде племен сынов Израилевых.
2 The people of Dan sent of their family five men from their whole number, men of valor, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said to them, "Go, explore the land." They came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and stayed there.
И послаша сынове Дановы от сонмов своих пять мужей от части своея, мужы сильны от Сараи и Есфаола, соглядати землю и изследити ю, и рекоша к ним: идите и изследите землю. И приидоша до горы Ефремли, до дому Михина, и сташа тамо в дому Михи.
3 When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite; and they turned in that direction, and said to him, "Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? And what is your business here?"
И тии познаша глас юноши левитина, и уклонишася тамо, и рекоша ему: кто тя приведе семо? И что твориши в месте сем? И что тебе зде?
4 He said to them, "Thus and so has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his cohen."
И рече им: сице и сице сотвори мне Миха, и ная мя, и бых ему жрец.
5 They said to him, "Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous."
И рекоша ему: вопроси убо Бога, и увемы, аще благопоспешится путь наш, в оньже мы идем.
6 The cohen said to them, "Go in peace. The LORD will watch over you on your journey."
И рече им жрец: идите с миром: пред Господем путь ваш, в оньже идете.
7 Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people who were there, and how they lived in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no one in the land possessing authority that might trouble them in anyway, and they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with Aram.
И идоша пять мужие и приидоша в Лаис: и видеша людий живущих в нем, седящих со упованием по обычаю Сидонян, в тишине и надежде, и не бе устрашаяй, или посрамляяй словесе на земли, наследник истязуяй сокровища: зане далече бяху от Сидонян, и не имяху словесе с киим либо человеком.
8 They came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brothers said to them, "What do you say?"
И приидоша пять мужей ко братии своей в Сараю и Есфаол и рекоша братии своей: что вы седите?
9 They said, "Arise, and let us go up against them, for we have entered and journeyed in the land as far as Laish, and we saw the people how they lived in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, and they were far from the Sidonians, and they had no dealings with Aram. But arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and look, it is very good. Will you do nothing? Do not hesitate to go and to enter in to possess the land.
И реша: востаните, и взыдем на ня, зане видехом землю, и се, блага зело, и вы молчите: не обленитеся ити и внити еже наследити землю:
10 When you go, you shall come to a secure people, and the land is large; for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no want of anything that is on the earth."
и егда приидете, внидете в люди живущыя со упованием, а земля пространна: яко предаде ю Бог в руки вашя, место на немже несть скудости во всем еже на земли.
11 Then the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men armed with weapons of war, set forth from there.
И воздвигошася оттуду от племене Данова, от Сараи и Есфаола, шесть сот мужей препоясани во оружие ополчения,
12 They went up, and camped in Kiriath Jearim, in Judah. Therefore they called that place Mahaneh Dan to this day; look, it is behind Kiriath Jearim.
и взыдоша и ополчишася в Кариафиариме во Иуде: сего ради наречеся место то полк Данов и до сего дне: се созади Кариафиарима.
13 They passed there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
И преидоша оттуду в гору Ефремлю и приидоша до дому Михина.
14 Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish answered, and said to their brothers, "Do you know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and an engraved image, and a molten image? Now therefore consider what you have to do."
И отвещаша пять мужей ходившии соглядати землю Лаис и рекоша ко братии своей: разуместе ли, яко есть в дому сем ефуд и ферафин, и изваяно и слияно? И ныне уведите, что сотворите.
15 They turned aside there, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even to the house of Micah, and asked him of his welfare.
И уклонишася тамо и внидоша в дом юноши левитина, в дом Михин, и вопросиша его в мире.
16 The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the people of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.
И шесть сот мужей препоясани во оружие ополчения своего, стояще у дверий вратных, иже от сынов Дановых.
17 The five men who went to spy out the land went up, and came in there, and took the engraved image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the cohen stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.
И взыдоша пять мужей ходивших соглядати землю: и вшедше тамо взяша изваяно, и ефуд и ферафин, и слияное: жрец же стояше у дверий вратных, и шесть сот мужей препоясани во оружие воинско:
18 And these went into Micah's house, and took the engraved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. And the cohen said to them, "What are you doing?"
и сии внидоша в дом Михин и взяша ефуд и ферафин, и слияно и изваяно. И рече к ним жрец: что вы творите?
19 They said to him, "Hold your peace, lay your hand on your mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a cohen. Is it better for you to be cohen to the house of one man, or to be cohen to a tribe and a family in Israel?"
И реша ему: умолчи, положи руку твою на уста твоя и пойди с нами, и буди нам отец и жрец: еда уне есть тебе быти жерцу единаго мужа дому, нежели быти жерцу племени и дому и сонма Израилева?
20 The cohen's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the engraved image, and the molten image, and went in the midst of the people.
И возблажа сердце жреческо, и взя ефуд и ферафин, и изваяное и слияное, и вниде посреде людий.
21 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the livestock and the goods before them.
И возвратишася и отидоша, и пустиша пред собою чада и притяжание свое честное.
22 They were some distance from the house of Micah, and look, Micah and the men who were in the houses near Micah's house gathered together and overtook the people of Dan.
Удалившымся же им от дому Михина, и се, Миха и мужие иже в жилищах, яже с домом Михиным быша, воззваша и постигоша сыны Дановы,
23 They cried to the people of Dan. They turned their faces, and said to Micah, "What's wrong with you, that you come with such a company?"
и возопиша к сыном Дановым: и обратиша сынове Дановы лица своя и реша к Михе: что есть тебе, яко воззвал еси?
24 He said, "You have taken away my gods which I made for myself, and the cohen, and have gone away, and what more do I have? How then do you say to me, 'What's wrong with you?'"
И рече Миха: яко изваяное мое, еже сотворих, взясте, и жерца, и поидосте: и что мне еще? И что сие глаголете мне: что вопиеши?
25 The people of Dan said to him, "Do not let your voice be heard among us, or angry men will attack you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household."
И рекоша ему сынове Дановы: да не услышится ныне глас твой вслед нас, да не востанут на вы мужие лютою душею, и положиши душу твою и душу дому твоего.
26 The people of Dan went their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.
И идоша сынове Дановы в путь свой. И виде Миха, яко сильнейшии суть паче его, и возвратися в дом свой.
27 They took that which Micah had made, and the cohen whom he had, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and struck them with the edge of the sword; and they burnt the city with fire.
И сынове Дановы взяша, елика сотвори Миха, и жерца, иже бяше у него, и приидоша в Лаис, к людем молчащым и уповающым надеждею, и избиша их острием меча, и град сожгоша огнем:
28 There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone, and it was in the valley that lies by Beth Rehob. They built the city, and lived there.
и не бяше избавляяй, яко далече бяху от Сидонян, и словесе не бяше им с человеком: и сей (град бысть) во удолии Дому Роовля: и соградиша град и вселишася в нем,
29 They called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor, who was born to Israel. However the name of the city was originally Laish.
и нарекоша граду имя Дан, во имя Дана отца своего, иже родися Израилю: и бяше прежде имя граду Лаис.
30 The people of Dan set up for themselves the engraved image. And Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, and his sons were cohanim to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the exile from the land.
И поставиша себе сынове Дановы изваяное: Ионафан же сын Гирсонь сын Манассиин, той и сынове его бяху жерцы племени Данову до дне преселения земли:
31 So they set up for themselves Micah's engraved image which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
и поставиша себе изваяное, еже сотвори Миха, во вся дни, в няже бяше дом Божий в Силоме.
