Judges 18
1 In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the Danites sought for them an inheritance to dwell in, for to that day their inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.
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 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, search the land. And they came to the hill-country of Ephraim to the house of Micah, and lodged 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 When they were by the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young man the Levite. And they turned aside there, and said to him, Who brought thee here? And what are thou doing in this place? And what have thou 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 said to them, Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his priest.
Un tas uz viņiem sacīja: tā un tā man Miha darījis un mani saderējis, un es viņam esmu par priesteri.
5 And they said to him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.
Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: vaicā jel Dievam, ka mēs atzīstam, vai mūsu ceļš labi izdosies, ko ejam?
6 And the priest said to them, Go in peace. Your way is before Jehovah in which ye go.
Un tas priesteris uz tiem sacīja: ejat ar mieru! Jūsu ceļš, ko ejat, ir taisns priekš Tā Kunga.
7 Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were in it, how they dwelt in security, according to the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure, for there was none in the land possessing authority, that might put them to shame in anything. And they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings 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 came to their brothers to Zorah and Eshtaol. And their brothers said to them, What say ye?
Un tie nāca pie saviem brāļiem uz Careū un Estaoli, un viņu brāļi uz tiem sacīja: ko jūs sakāt?
9 And they said, Arise, and let us go up against them, for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good, and are ye idle? Be not slothful to go and to enter in 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 ye go, ye shall come to a people secure. 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.
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 set forth from there of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of 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 went up, and encamped in Kiriath-jearim, in Judah. Therefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan, to this day. Behold, it is behind Kiriath-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 passed from there to the hill-country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
Un no turienes tie gāja uz Efraīma kalniem un nāca pie Mihas nama.
14 Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish, answered and said to their brothers, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? Now therefore consider what ye have to 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 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.
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 were of the sons of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.
Bet tie sešsimt vīri, kas bija no Dana bērniem, ar kara rīkiem apbruņoti, stāvēja pie vārtiem.
17 And the five men who went to spy out the land went up, and came in there, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. And the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men 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 And when these went into Micah's house, and fetched the graven image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said to them, What do ye?
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 said to him, Hold thy peace, lay thy hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for thee to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and 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 priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in 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 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the goods before them.
Un viņi griezās atpakaļ un nogāja un laida papriekš bērniņus un ganāmo pulku un savas dārgās lietas.
22 When they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook 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 they cried out to the sons of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said to Micah, What troubles thee that thou come with such a company?
Bet šie atgriezās un sacīja uz Miha: kas tev ir, ka tu savus ļaudis esi sasaucis?
24 And he said, ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and have gone away, and what have I more? And how do ye then say to me, What troubles thee?
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 said to him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall upon you, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy 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 went their way. And when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went 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 took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and they burnt 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 was no deliverer because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with any man, and it was in the valley that lies by Beth-rehob. And they built the city, and dwelt 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 they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father who was born to Israel. However the name of the city was Laish at 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 set up for themselves the graven image. And Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity 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 So they set up for them Micah's graven image which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
Tā tie priekš sevis uzcēla Mihas izgriezto tēlu, ko tas bija taisījis, kamēr Dieva nams bija Šīlo.
