Књига о судијама 18
1 У то време не беше цара у Израиљу, и у то време племе Даново тражаше себи наследство где би наставало, јер му дотада не беше допало наследство међу племенима Израиљевим.
In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the Danites was looking for an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day, their inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.
2 Зато послаше синови Данови из породице своје пет људи између себе, храбре људе од Сараје и Естаола, да уходе земљу и добро размотре, и рекоше им: Идите, размотрите земљу. И они отидоше у гору Јефремову у кућу Мишину и заноћише онде.
The people 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, explore the land." They came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and stayed there.
3 И кад беху код куће Мишине, познаше глас оног младића Левита, и свративши се онамо рекоше му: Ко те доведе овамо? И шта радиш ту? И шта ћеш ту?
When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite; and they turned in that direction, and said to him, "Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? And what is your business here?"
4 А он им рече: Тако и тако учини ми Миха, и најми ме да му будем свештеник.
He said to them, "Thus and so has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his priest."
5 А они му рекоше: Упитај Бога да знамо хоће ли нам бити срећан пут на који пођосмо.
They said to him, "Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous."
6 А свештеник им рече: Идите с миром; по вољи је Господу пут којим идете.
The priest said to them, "Go in peace. The LORD will watch over you on your journey."
7 И тако пошавши оних пет људи дођоше у Лаис, и видеше тамошњи народ где живи без страха по обичају сидонском, мирно и без страха, и да нема никога у земљи ко би им чим год досађивао или отимао власт, и да су далеко од Сидоњана нити имају шта с ким.
Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people who were there, and how they lived in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no one in the land possessing authority that might trouble them in anyway, and they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with Aram.
8 Па кад се вратише к браћи својој у Сарају и Естаол, рекоше им браћа: Шта је?
They came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brothers said to them, "What do you say?"
9 А они рекоше: Устајте да идемо на њих; јер видесмо земљу, и врло је добра. И ви не марите? Немојте се ленити, него похитајте да узмете земљу.
They said, "Arise, and let us go up against them, for we have entered and journeyed in the land as far as Laish, and we saw the people how they lived in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, and they were far from the Sidonians, and they had no dealings with Aram. But arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and look, it is very good. Will you do nothing? Do not hesitate to go and to enter in to possess the land.
10 Кад дођете, доћи ћете к народу безбрижном и у земљу пространу; јер је предаде Бог у наше руке; то је место где нема недостатака ни у чем што има на земљи.
When you go, you shall come to a secure people, 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."
11 Тада пођоше оданде из Сараје и Естаола шест стотина људи од породице Данове наоружаних.
Then the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men armed with weapons of war, set forth from there.
12 И отишавши стадоше у логор код Киријат-Јарима у Јуди; зато се прозва оно место Махане-Дан до данас, и јесте иза Киријат-Јарима.
They went up, and camped in Kiriath Jearim, in Judah. Therefore they called that place Mahaneh Dan to this day; look, it is behind Kiriath Jearim.
13 А оданде пошавши у гору Јефремову дођоше у кућу Мишину.
They passed there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
14 Тада проговорише петорица што беху ишли да уходе земљу лаиску, и рекоше браћи својој: Знате ли да у овим кућама има оплећак и ликови, и лик резан и лик ливен? Сада дакле гледајте шта ћете радити.
Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish answered, and said to their brothers, "Do you know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and an engraved image, and a molten image? Now therefore consider what you have to do."
15 А они свративши се онамо уђоше у кућу где беше младић Левит, у кућу Мишину, и упиташе га за здравље.
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.
16 А шест стотина људи наоружаних од синова Данових стадоше пред вратима.
The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the people of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.
17 А пет људи што беху ишли да уходе земљу отишавши уђоше и узеше лик резан и оплећак и ликове и лик ливен; а свештеник стајаше на вратима са шест стотина људи наоружаних.
The five men who went to spy out the land went up, and came in there, and took the engraved 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 armed with weapons of war.
18 И они што уђоше у кућу Мишину кад узеше лик резани, оплећак, ликове и лик ливени, свештеник им рече: Шта радите?
And these went into Micah's house, and took the engraved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. And the priest said to them, "What are you doing?"
19 А они му рекоше: Ћути, метни руку на уста, па хајде с нама, и буди нам отац и свештеник. Шта ти је боље, бити свештеник кући једног човека или бити свештеник племену и породици у Израиљу?
They said to him, "Hold your peace, lay your hand on your mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?"
20 И свештеник се обрадова у срцу, и узе оплећак и ликове и лик резани, и уђе међу народ.
The priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the engraved image, and the molten image, and went in the midst of the people.
21 И окренувши се пођоше пустивши децу и стоку и закладе напред.
So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the livestock and the goods before them.
22 А кад беху далеко од куће Мишине, онда људи који живљаху у кућама близу куће Мишине скупише се и пођоше у потеру за синовима Дановим.
They were some distance from the house of Micah, and look, Micah and the men who were in the houses near Micah's house gathered together and overtook the people of Dan.
23 И викаше за синовима Дановим, а они обазревши се рекоше Миши: Шта ти је, те си скупио толике људе?
They cried to the people of Dan. They turned their faces, and said to Micah, "What's wrong with you, that you come with such a company?"
24 А он рече: Узели сте моје богове које сам начинио, и свештеника, па отидосте. Шта још имам? Па још кажете: Шта ти је?
He said, "You have taken away my gods which I made for myself, and the priest, and have gone away, and what more do I have? How then do you say to me, 'What's wrong with you?'"
25 А синови Данови рекоше му: Немој да ти се чује глас за нама, да не би ударили на вас људи гневни, те ћеш изгубити душу своју и душу дома свог.
The people of Dan said to him, "Do not let your voice be heard among us, or angry men will attack you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household."
26 И синови Данови отидоше својим путем, а Миха, видећи да су јачи од њега врати се и отиде кући својој.
The people of Dan went their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.
27 И они узевши шта беше начинио Миха, и свештеника, ког имаше, дођоше у Лаис к народу мирном и безбрижном; па их исекоше оштрим мачем, а град упалише огњем.
They took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and struck them with the edge of the sword; and they burnt the city with fire.
28 И не беше никога да их избави; јер беху далеко од Сидона и не имаху ништа ни с ким; а град беше у долини која је код Вет-Реова. После сазидаше град и населише се у њему.
There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone, and it was in the valley that lies by Beth Rehob. They built the city, and lived there.
29 И назваше град Дан по имену Дана оца свог, који се роди Израиљу; а пре се град зваше Лаис.
They called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor, who was born to Israel. However the name of the city was originally Laish.
30 И синови Данови наместише себи онај лик резани; а Јонатан син Гирсона Манасијиног и синови његови беху свештеници племену Дановом докле се год не исели из земље.
The people of Dan set up for themselves the engraved image. And Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the exile from the land.
31 И намештен им стајаше онај лик резани, који начини Миха, за све време докле дом Божји беше у Силому.
So they set up for themselves Micah's engraved image which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
