1In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day, their inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.
1V tých dňoch nebolo kráľa v Izraelovi, a v tých dňoch si hľadalo pokolenie Dánovo dedičstvo na bývanie, lebo mu až do toho dňa nebolo pripadlo dedičstvo medzi pokoleniami Izraelovými.
2The children 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 lodged there.
2Preto vyslali synovia Dánovi zo svojej čeľade piatich mužov zo svojich končín, silných mužov udatných, z Caree a z Eštaola, aby prešpehovali zem a prezkúmali ju, a povedali im: Iďte, prezkúmajte zem! A tak prišli na vrch Efraimov až po dom Míchov a prenocovali tam.
3When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite; and they turned aside there, and said to him, “Who brought you here? What do you do in this place? What do you have here?”
3A keď prišli k domu Míchovmu, hneď poznali hlas mládenca, toho Levitu, a uchýliac sa ta povedali mu: Kto ťa sem doviedol, a čo tu robíš a čo tu máš?
4He said to them, “Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I am become his priest.”
4A on im povedal, tak vraj a tak mi učinil Mícha a najal ma za mzdu, a som mu za kňaza.
5They said to him, “Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.”
5A oni mu povedali: Opýtaj sa, prosíme, Boha, aby sme vedeli, či sa podarí naša cesta, ktorou ideme?
6The priest said to them, “Go in peace. Your way in which you go is before Yahweh.”
6A kňaz im povedal: Iďte v pokoji; pred Hospodinom je vaša cesta, ktorou idete.
7Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people who were therein, how they lived in security, in the way 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.
7A tak odišli piati mužovia a prišli do mesta Laiša a videli ľud, ktorý bol v ňom, že býva v bezpečnosti, jako je obyčaj u Sidoncov, pokojne a bezpečne, a nebolo nikoho, kto by im bol urobil niečo zlého v zemi, kto by bol zaujal panstvo nad nimi. A boli ďaleko od Sidoncov a nemali ničoho s niktorým človekom.
8They came to their brothers to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brothers said to them, “What do you say?”
8Keď sa potom navrátili ku svojim bratom do Caree a do Eštaola, povedali im ich bratia: No, a čo vy?
9They said, “Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. Do you stand still? Don’t be slothful to go and to enter in to possess the land.
9A oni povedali: Vstaňte a poďme hore na nich, lebo sme videli zem, a hľa, je veľmi dobrá a pekná. A vy mlčíte? Nech sa vám nelení ísť a prijsť zaujať zem do dedičstva.
10When 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 in the earth.”
10Keď ta prijdete, prijdete k ľudu, ktorý žije bezpečne, a zem je priestranná; lebo ju dal Bôh do vašej ruky, miesto, kde nieto nedostatku nijakých dobrých vecí, ktoré len môžu byť na zemi.
11There set forth from there of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men girt with weapons of war.
11A tak sa pohlo odtiaľ, z čeľade Dánovej, z Caree a z Eštaola, šesťsto mužov, vyzbrojených do boja.
12They 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.
12A odíduc hore položili sa táborom v Kirjat-jearíme, v Júdovi. Preto nazvali to miesto Machné-dán a tak sa volá až do tohoto dňa, hľa, hen za Kirjat-jearímom.
13They passed there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
13Odtiaľ prešli na vrch Efraimov a prišli až po dom Míchov.
14Then 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.”
14A vraveli piati mužovia, ktorí boli odišli prešpehovať zem Laiša, a povedali svojim bratom: Či viete, že je v týchto domoch efod, a že sú tu domáci bohovia a rytý a liaty obraz? Preto teraz vedzte, čo máte urobiť!
15They 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.
15Vtedy zabočili ta a vošli do domu mládenca, toho Levitu, do domu Míchovho a pozdravili ho.
16The six hundred men girt with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.
16A šesťsto mužov, opásaných svojou zbraňou do boja, stálo pri vchode do brány, mužovia to, ktorí boli zo synov Dánových.
17The 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 girt with weapons of war.
17A piati mužovia, ktorí boli odišli prešpehovať zem, vyšli hore a vojdúc ta vzali rytý obraz aj efod ako aj domácich bohov i liaty obraz, a kňaz stál pri vchode do brány aj tých šesťsto mužov, vyzbrojených do boja.
18When these went into Micah’s house, and fetched the engraved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”
18A tamtí vošli tedy do domu Míchovho a vzali rytý obraz, efod i domácich bohov i liaty obraz. A kňaz im povedal: Čo to robíte?
19They said to him, “Hold your peace, put 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?”
19A oni povedali: Mlč! Polož svoju ruku na svoje ústa a poď s nami a buď nám za otca a za kňaza. Či ti je azda lepšie byť kňazom domu jedného človeka a či byť kňazom celému pokoleniu a čeľadi v Izraelovi?
20The priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the engraved image, and went in the midst of the people.
20Tu sa zaradovalo srdce kňazovo, a vezmúc efod a domácich bohov i rytý obraz vošiel medzi ľud.
21So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the livestock and the goods before them.
21A obrátiac sa odišli. A pustili deti i dobytok i to, čo mali cenného, pred sebou.
22When 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 children of Dan.
22A keď sa už boli vzdialili od domu Míchovho, vtedy mužovia, ktorí boli v domoch, ktoré boly v susedstve domu Míchovho, shromaždili sa krikom a stíhali synov Dánových tesne v zápätí.
23They cried to the children of Dan. They turned their faces, and said to Micah, “What ails you, that you come with such a company?”
23A volali na synov Dánových, ktorí však obrátili svoju tvár a povedali Míchovi: Čo chceš, že si prišiel s toľkými ľuďmi?
24He said, “You have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and have gone away, and what more do I have? How then do you say to me, ‘What ails you?’”
24A povedal: Mojich bohov, ktorých som spravil, ste vzali i kňaza a idete preč! A ja čo už budem mať? Nuž čože je to, že mi hovoríte: Čo chceš?!
25The children of Dan said to him, “Don’t let your voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall on you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household.”
25Ale synovia Dánovi mu povedali: Nech nepočujeme u seba tvojho hlasu, aby sa neoborili na vás mužovia roztrpčenej duše, a odpratal by si svoju dušu i dušu svojho domu.
26The children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.
26Tak išli synovia Dánovi svojou cestou. A keď videl Mícha, že sú silnejší ako on, obrátil sa a navrátil sa do svojho domu.
27They 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.
27A oni vezmúc to, čo spravil Mícha, i kňaza, ktorého mal, prišli na Laiš, na ľud žijúci v pokoji a v ubezpečnosti, a pobili ich ostrím meča a mesto spálili ohňom.
28There 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. They built the city, and lived therein.
28A nebolo nikoho, kto by ich bol vytrhol, pretože bolo mesto ďaleko od Sidona, a nemali ničoho spoločného s niktorým človekom, a ležalo na doline, ktorá je pri Bét-rechóbe, a potom zase vystavili mesto a bývalo v ňom.
29They 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 the first.
29A nazvali meno toho mesta Dán po mene Dána, svojho praotca, ktorý sa narodil Izraelovi. Ale mesto sa predtým menovalo Laiš.
30The children of Dan set up for themselves the engraved 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.
30A synovia Dánovi si postavili ten rytý obraz, a Jonatán, syn Geršoma, syna Manassesovho, on i jeho synovia boli kňazmi pokoleniu Dánovmu až do dňa zajatia obyvateľov zeme.
31So they set them up Micah’s engraved image which he made, all the time that God’s house was in Shiloh.
31A tedy si vystavili rytý obraz Míchov, ktorý spravil, a stál po všetky dni, kým bol dom Boží v Síle.
