Sudije 18
1 U to vrijeme ne bješe cara u Izrailju, i u to vrijeme pleme Danovo tražaše sebi našljedstvo gdje bi nastavalo, jer mu do tada ne bješe dopalo našljedstvo meðu plemenima Izrailjevijem.
In those days there was no king in Israel; and in those days the tribe of Dan sought for itself an inheritance to inhabit, because no inheritance had fallen to it until that day in the midst of the tribes of the children of Israel.
2 Zato poslaše sinovi Danovi iz porodice svoje pet ljudi izmeðu sebe, hrabre ljude od Saraje i Estaola, da uhode zemlju i dobro razmotre, i rekoše im: idite, razmotrite zemlju. I oni otidoše u goru Jefremovu u kuæu Mišinu i zanoæiše ondje.
And the sons of Dan sent from their families five men of valour, from Saraa and from Esthaol, to spy out the land and to search it; and they said to them, Go and search out the land. And they came as far as the mount of Ephraim to the house of Michaias and they lodged there,
3 I kad bijahu kod kuæe Mišine, poznaše glas onoga mladiæa Levita, i svrativši se onamo rekoše mu: ko te dovede ovamo? i šta radiš tu? i šta æeš tu?
in the house of Michaias, and they recognised the voice of the young man the Levite, and turned in there; and said to him, Who brought you in hither? and what do you in this place? and what have you here?
4 A on im reèe: tako i tako uèini mi Miha, i najmi me da mu budem sveštenik.
And he said to them, Thus and thus did Michaias to me, and he hired me, and I became his priest.
5 A oni mu rekoše: upitaj Boga da znamo hoæe li nam biti sreæan put na koji poðosmo.
And they said to him, Enquire now of God, and we shall know whether our way will prosper, on which we are going.
6 A sveštenik im reèe: idite s mirom; po volji je Gospodu put kojim idete.
And the priest said to them, Go in peace; your way in which you go, [is] before the Lord.
7 I tako pošavši onijeh pet ljudi doðoše u Lais, i vidješe tamošnji narod gdje živi bez straha po obièaju Sidonskom, mirno i bez straha, i da nema nikoga u zemlji ko bi im èimgod dosaðivao ili otimao vlast, i da su daleko od Sidonjana niti imaju šta s kim.
And the five men went on, and came to Laisa; and they saw the people in the midst of it dwelling securely, at ease as [is] the manner of the Sidonians, and there is no one perverting or shaming a matter in the land, no heir extorting treasures; and they are far from the Sidonians, and they have no intercourse with any one.
8 Pa kad se vratiše k braæi svojoj u Saraju i Estaol, rekoše im braæa: što je?
And the five men came to their brethren to Saraa and Esthaol, and said to their brethren, Why sit you here [idle]?
9 A oni rekoše: ustajte da idemo na njih; jer vidjesmo zemlju, i vrlo je dobra. I vi ne marite? nemojte se lijeniti, nego pohitajte da uzmete zemlju.
And they said, Arise, and let us go up against them, for we have seen the land, and, behold, [it is] very good, yet you are still: delay not to go, an to enter in to possess the land.
10 Kad doðete, doæi æete k narodu bezbrižnom i u zemlju prostranu; jer je predade Bog u vaše ruke; to je mjesto gdje nema nedostataka ni u èem što ima na zemlji.
And whenever you shall go, you shall come in upon a people secure, and the land [is] extensive, for God has given it into your hand; a place where there is no lack of anything that the earth affords.
11 Tada poðoše odande iz Saraje i Estaola šest stotina ljudi od porodice Danove naoružanijeh.
And there departed thence of the families of Dan, from Saraa and from Esthaol, six hundred men, girded with weapons of war.
12 I otišavši stadoše u oko kod Kirijat-Jarima u Judi; zato se prozva ono mjesto Mahane-Dan do danas, i jest iza Kirijat-Jarima.
And they went up, and encamped in Cariathiarim in Juda; therefore it was called in that place the camp of Dan, until this day: behold, [it is] behind Cariathiarim.
13 A odande pošavši u goru Jefremovu doðoše u kuæu Mišinu.
And they went on thence to the mount of Ephraim, and came to the house of Michaias.
14 Tada progovoriše petorica što bijahu išli da uhode zemlju Laisku, i rekoše braæi svojoj: znate li da u ovijem kuæama ima opleæak i likova, i lik rezan i lik liven? Sada dakle gledajte što æete raditi.
And the five men who went to spy out the land of Laisa answered, and said to their brethren, You know that there is in this place an ephod, and theraphin, and a graven and a molten image; and now consider what you shall do.
15 A oni svrativši se onamo uðoše u kuæu gdje bješe mladiæ Levit, u kuæu Mišinu, i upitaše ga za zdravlje.
And they turned aside there, and went into the house of the young man, the Levite, [even] into the house of Michaias, and asked him how he was.
16 A šest stotina ljudi naoružanijeh od sinova Danovijeh stadoše pred vratima.
And the six hundred men of the sons of Dan who were girded with their weapons of war stood by the door of the gate.
17 A pet ljudi što bjehu išli da uhode zemlju otišavši uðoše i uzeše lik rezan i opleæak i likove i lik liven; a sveštenik stajaše na vratima sa šest stotina ljudi naoružanijeh.
And the five men who went to spy out the land went up, and entered into the house of Michaias, and the priest stood.
18 I oni što uðoše u kuæu Mišinu kad uzeše lik rezani, opleæak, likove i lik liveni, sveštenik im reèe: šta radite?
And they took the graven image, and the ephod, and the theraphin, and the molten image; and the priest said to them, What are you doing?
19 A oni mu rekoše: muèi, metni ruku na usta, pa hajde s nama, i budi nam otac i sveštenik. Što ti je bolje, biti sveštenik kuæi jednoga èovjeka ili biti sveštenik plemenu i porodici u Izrailju?
And they said to him, Be silent, lay your hand upon your mouth, and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest: [is it] better for you to be the priest of the house of one man, or to be the priest of a tribe and house for a family of Israel?
20 I sveštenik se obradova u srcu, i uze opleæak i likove i lik rezani, i uðe meðu narod.
And the heart of the priest was glad, and he took the ephod, and the theraphin, and the graven image, and the molten image, and went in the midst of the people.
21 I okrenuvši se poðoše pustivši djecu i stoku i zaklade naprijed.
So they turned and departed, and put their children and their property and their baggage before them.
22 A kad bijahu daleko od kuæe Mišine, onda ljudi koji življahu u kuæama blizu kuæe Mišine skupiše se i poðoše u potjeru za sinovima Danovijem.
They went some distance from the house of Michaias, and, behold, Michaias and the men in the houses near Michaias' house, cried out, and overtook the children of Dan.
23 I vikaše za sinovima Danovijem, a oni obazrevši se rekoše Miši: što ti je, te si skupio tolike ljude?
And the children of Dan turned their face, and said to Michaias, What is the matter with you that you have cried out?
24 A on reèe: uzeli ste moje bogove koje sam naèinio, i sveštenika, pa otidoste. Šta još imam? pa još kažete: što ti je?
And Michaias said, Because you have taken my graven image which I made, and my priest, and are gone; and what have I remaining? and what [is] this [that] you say to me, Why cry you?
25 A sinovi Danovi rekoše mu: nemoj da ti se èuje glas za nama, da ne bi udarili na vas ljudi gnjevni, te æeš izgubiti dušu svoju i dušu doma svojega.
And the children of Dan said to him, Let not your voice be heard with us, lest angry men run upon you, and take away your life, and the lives of your house.
26 I sinovi Danovi otidoše svojim putem, a Miha videæi da su jaèi od njega vrati se i otide kuæi svojoj.
And the children of Dan went their way; and Michaias saw that they were stronger than himself, and he returned to his house.
27 I oni uzevši što bješe naèinio Miha, i sveštenika, kojega imaše, doðoše u Lais k narodu mirnom i bezbrižnom; pa ih isjekoše oštrijem maèem, a grad upališe ognjem.
And the children of Dan took what Michaias had made, and the priest that he had, and they came to Laisa, to a people quiet and secure; and they struck them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.
28 I ne bješe nikoga da ih izbavi; jer bijahu daleko od Sidona i ne imahu ništa ni s kim; a grad bijaše u dolini koja je kod Vet-Reova. Poslije sazidaše grad i naseliše se u njemu.
And there was no deliverer, because [the city] is far from the Sidonians, and they have no intercourse with men, and it [is] in the valley of the house of Raab; and they built the city, and lived in it.
29 I nazvaše grad Dan po imenu Dana oca svojega, koji se rodi Izrailju; a prije se grad zvaše Lais.
And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel; and the name of the city was Ulamais before.
30 I sinovi Danovi namjestiše sebi onaj lik rezani; a Jonatan sin Girsona sina Manasijina i sinovi njegovi bijahu sveštenici plemenu Danovu dokle se god ne iseli iz zemlje.
And the children of Dan set up the graven image for themselves; and Jonathan son of Gerson son of Manasse, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan till the time of the carrying away of the nation.
31 I namješten im stajaše onaj lik rezani, koji naèini Miha, za sve vrijeme dokle dom Božji bijaše u Silomu.
And they set up for themselves the graven image which Michaias made, all the days that the house of God was in Selom; and it was so in those days [that] there was no king in Israel.
