Sog̒u 18
1 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.
In those days there was no king in Israel, and the tribe of Dan sought them an inheritance to dwell in: for unto that day they had not received their lot among the other tribes.
2 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.
So the children of Dan sent five most valiant men of their stock and family from Saraa and Esthaol, to spy out the land, and to view it diligently: and they said to them: Go, and view the land. They went on their way, and when they came to mount Ephraim, they went into the house of Michas, and rested there:
3 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?
And knowing the voice of the young man the Levite, and lodging with him, they said to him: Who brought thee hither? what dost thou here? why wouldst thou come hither?
4 Un tas uz viņiem sacīja: tā un tā man Miha darījis un mani saderējis, un es viņam esmu par priesteri.
He answered them: Michas hath done such and such things for me, and hath hired me to be his priest.
5 Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: vaicā jel Dievam, ka mēs atzīstam, vai mūsu ceļš labi izdosies, ko ejam?
Then they desired him to consult the Lord, that they might know whether their journey should be prosperous, and the thing should have effect.
6 Un tas priesteris uz tiem sacīja: ejat ar mieru! Jūsu ceļš, ko ejat, ir taisns priekš Tā Kunga.
He answered them: Go in peace, the Lord looketh on your way, and the journey that you go.
7 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.
So the five men going on came to Lais: and they saw how the people dwelt therein without any fear, according to the custom of the Sidonians, secure and easy, having no man at all to oppose them, being very rich, and living separated, at a distance from Sidon and from all men.
8 Un tie nāca pie saviem brāļiem uz Careū un Estaoli, un viņu brāļi uz tiem sacīja: ko jūs sakāt?
And they returned to their brethren in Saraa and Esthaol, who asked them what they had done? to whom they answered:
9 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.
Arise, and let us go up to them: for we have seen the land which is exceeding rich and fruitful: neglect not, lose no time: let us go and possess it, there will be no difficulty.
10 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.
We shall come to a people that is secure, into a spacious country, and the Lord will deliver the place to us, in which there is no want of any thing that groweth on the earth.
11 Tad no turienes, no Daniešu radiem, no Careās un Estaoles, aizgāja sešsimt apbruņoti karavīri.
There went therefore of the kindred of Dan, to wit, from Saraa and Esthaol, six hundred men, furnished with arms for war,
12 Un tie cēlās un apmetas KiriatJearimā iekš Jūda; tādēļ to vietu nosauc par Dana lēģeri līdz šai dienai; redzi tas ir aiz KiriatJearimas.
And going up they lodged in Cariathiarim of Juda: which place from that time is called the camp of Dan, and is behind Cariathiarim.
13 Un no turienes tie gāja uz Efraīma kalniem un nāca pie Mihas nama.
From thence they passed into mount Ephraim. And when they were come to the house of Michas,
14 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.
The five men, that before had been sent to view the land of Lais, said to the rest of their brethren: You know that in these houses there is an ephod, and theraphim, and a graven, and a molten god: see what you are pleased to do.
15 Un tie nogriezās uz turieni un nāca pie tā jaunekļa, tā Levita, namu, pie Mihas nama, un to apsveicināja mīlīgi.
And when they had turned a little aside, they went into the house of the young man the Levite, who was in the house of Michas: and they saluted him with words of peace.
16 Bet tie sešsimt vīri, kas bija no Dana bērniem, ar kara rīkiem apbruņoti, stāvēja pie vārtiem.
And the six hundred men stood before the door, appointed with their arms.
17 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.
But they that were gone into the house of the young man, went about to take away the graven god, and the ephod, and the theraphim, and the molten god, and the priest stood before the door, the six hundred valiant men waiting not far off.
18 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:
So they that were gone in took away the graven thing, the ephod, and the idols, and the molten god. And the priest said to them: What are you doing?
19 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?
And they said to him: Hold thy peace and put thy finger on thy mouth and come with us, that we may have thee for a father, and a priest. Whether is better for thee, to be a priest in the house of one man, or in a tribe and family in Israel?
20 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.
When he had heard this, he agreed to their words, and took the ephod, and the idols, and the graven god, and departed with them.
21 Un viņi griezās atpakaļ un nogāja un laida papriekš bērniņus un ganāmo pulku un savas dārgās lietas.
And when they were going forward, and had put before them the children and the cattle and all that was valuable,
22 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.
And were now at a distance from the house of Michas, the men that dwelt in the houses of Michas gathering together followed them,
23 Bet šie atgriezās un sacīja uz Miha: kas tev ir, ka tu savus ļaudis esi sasaucis?
And began to shout out after them. They looked back, and said to Michas: What aileth thee? Why dost thou cry?
24 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?
And he answered: You have taken away my gods which I have made me and the priest, and all that I have, and do you say: What aileth thee?
25 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.
And the children of Dan said to him: See thou say no more to us, lest men enraged come upon thee, and thou perish with all thy house.
26 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.
And so they went on the journey they had begun. But Michas seeing that they were stronger than he, returned to his house.
27 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.
And the six hundred men took the priest, and the things we spoke of before, and came to Lais to a people that was quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword: and the city was burnt with fire,
28 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.
There being no man at all who brought them any succour, because they dwelt far from Sidon, and had no society or business with any man. And the city was in the land of Rohob: and they rebuilt it and dwelt therein.
29 Un tie nosauca tās pilsētas vārdu Dan, pēc sava tēva Dana vārda, kas Israēlim bija dzimis, jebšu tās pilsētas vārds papriekš bija Laīsa.
Calling the name of the city Dan after the name of their father, who was the son of Israel, which before was called Lais.
30 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.
And they set up to themselves the graven idol, and Jonathan the son of Gersam the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests in the tribe of Dan, until the day of their captivity.
31 Tā tie priekš sevis uzcēla Mihas izgriezto tēlu, ko tas bija taisījis, kamēr Dieva nams bija Šīlo.
And the idol of Michas remained with them all the time that the house of God was in Silo. In those days there was no king in Israel.
