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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 And he said to them, Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his priest.
И рече им: сице и сице сотвори мне Миха, и ная мя, и бых ему жрец.
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.
И рекоша ему: вопроси убо Бога, и увемы, аще благопоспешится путь наш, в оньже мы идем.
6 And the priest said to them, Go in peace. Your way is before Jehovah in which ye go.
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 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.
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 And they came to their brothers to Zorah and Eshtaol. And their brothers said to them, What say ye?
И приидоша пять мужей ко братии своей в Сараю и Есфаол и рекоша братии своей: что вы седите?
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.
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 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.
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 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.
И воздвигошася оттуду от племене Данова, от Сараи и Есфаола, шесть сот мужей препоясани во оружие ополчения,
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.
и взыдоша и ополчишася в Кариафиариме во Иуде: сего ради наречеся место то полк Данов и до сего дне: се созади Кариафиарима.
13 And they passed from 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 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.
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 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.
И уклонишася тамо и внидоша в дом юноши левитина, в дом Михин, и вопросиша его в мире.
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.
И шесть сот мужей препоясани во оружие ополчения своего, стояще у дверий вратных, иже от сынов Дановых.
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.
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 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?
и сии внидоша в дом Михин и взяша ефуд и ферафин, и слияно и изваяно. И рече к ним жрец: что вы творите?
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?
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 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.
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 cattle and the goods before them.
И возвратишася и отидоша, и пустиша пред собою чада и притяжание свое честное.
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.
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 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?
и возопиша к сыном Дановым: и обратиша сынове Дановы лица своя и реша к Михе: что есть тебе, яко воззвал еси?
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?
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 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.
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 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.
И идоша сынове Дановы в путь свой. И виде Миха, яко сильнейшии суть паче его, и возвратися в дом свой.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
и нарекоша граду имя Дан, во имя Дана отца своего, иже родися Израилю: и бяше прежде имя граду Лаис.
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.
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 them Micah's graven 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.
