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 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 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.
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 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?
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 A on im reèe: tako i tako uèini mi Miha, i najmi me da mu budem sveštenik.
He answered them: Michas hath done such and such things for me, and hath hired me to be his priest.
5 A oni mu rekoše: upitaj Boga da znamo hoæe li nam biti sreæan put na koji poðosmo.
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 A sveštenik im reèe: idite s mirom; po volji je Gospodu put kojim idete.
He answered them: Go in peace, the Lord looketh on your way, and the journey that you go.
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.
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 Pa kad se vratiše k braæi svojoj u Saraju i Estaol, rekoše im braæa: što je?
And they returned to their brethren in Saraa and Esthaol, who asked them what they had done? to whom they answered:
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.
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 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.
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 Tada poðoše odande iz Saraje i Estaola šest stotina ljudi od porodice Danove naoružanijeh.
There went therefore of the kindred of Dan, to wit, from Saraa and Esthaol, six hundred men, furnished with arms for 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 going up they lodged in Cariathiarim of Juda: which place from that time is called the camp of Dan, and is behind Cariathiarim.
13 A odande pošavši u goru Jefremovu doðoše u kuæu Mišinu.
From thence they passed into mount Ephraim. And when they were come to the house of Michas,
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.
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 A oni svrativši se onamo uðoše u kuæu gdje bješe mladiæ Levit, u kuæu Mišinu, i upitaše ga za zdravlje.
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 A šest stotina ljudi naoružanijeh od sinova Danovijeh stadoše pred vratima.
And the six hundred men stood before the door, appointed with their arms.
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.
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 I oni što uðoše u kuæu Mišinu kad uzeše lik rezani, opleæak, likove i lik liveni, sveštenik im reèe: šta radite?
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 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: 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 I sveštenik se obradova u srcu, i uze opleæak i likove i lik rezani, i uðe meðu narod.
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 I okrenuvši se poðoše pustivši djecu i stoku i zaklade naprijed.
And when they were going forward, and had put before them the children and the cattle and all that was valuable,
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.
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 I vikaše za sinovima Danovijem, a oni obazrevši se rekoše Miši: što ti je, te si skupio tolike ljude?
And began to shout out after them. They looked back, and said to Michas: What aileth thee? Why dost thou cry?
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 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 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: See thou say no more to us, lest men enraged come upon thee, and thou perish with all thy house.
26 I sinovi Danovi otidoše svojim putem, a Miha videæi da su jaèi od njega vrati se i otide kuæi svojoj.
And so they went on the journey they had begun. But Michas seeing that they were stronger than 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 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 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.
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 I nazvaše grad Dan po imenu Dana oca svojega, koji se rodi Izrailju; a prije se grad zvaše Lais.
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 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 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 I namješten im stajaše onaj lik rezani, koji naèini Miha, za sve vrijeme dokle dom Božji bijaše u Silomu.
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.
