Kniha Sudcov

1 (KAT) V tom čase nebolo v Izraeli kráľa. Vtedy si kmeň Danovcov hľadal vlastné územie na osídlenie, lebo až dovtedy mu nepripadol dedičný podiel medzi Izraelovými kmeňmi.
1 (VUL) In diebus illis non erat rex in Israel, et tribus Dan quaere bat possessionem sibi, ut habitaret in ea; usque ad illum enim diem inter ceteras tribus sortem non acceperat.
1 (UKJV) "In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel. "

2 (KAT) Preto vyslali Danovci zo svojich rodov päť mužov, mužov veľmi udatných zo svojho najjužnejšieho pohraničia, zo Saray a Estaola, aby preskúmali krajinu a oboznámili sa s ňou. Povedali im: „Choďte a obzrite krajinu!“ Tak prišli na Efraimské pohorie do Michovho domu, aby tam prenocovali.
2 (VUL) Miserunt igitur filii Dan stirpis et familiae suae quinque viros fortissimos de Saraa et Esthaol, ut explorarent terram et diligenter inspicerent, dixeruntque eis: “ Ite et considerate terram ”. Qui cum venissent in montem Ephraim usque ad domum Michae, pernoctaverunt ibi.
2 (UKJV) "And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there. "

3 (KAT) Keď boli neďaleko Michovho domu a po hlase spoznali mladého levitu, zastavili sa tam a vypytovali sa ho: „Kto ťa sem priviedol? Čo tu robíš? A čo tu hľadáš?“
3 (VUL) Cum essent prope domum Michae, agnoscentes vocem adulescentis Levitae declinaverant illuc dicentes ad eum: “ Quis te huc adduxit? Quid hic agis? Quam ob causam huc venire voluisti? ”.
3 (UKJV) When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought you here? and what make you in this place? and what have you here?

4 (KAT) Odpovedal im: „To a to mi urobil Micha. Najal si ma a stal som sa jeho kňazom.“
4 (VUL) Qui respondit eis: “ Haec et haec praestitit mihi Michas et me mercede conduxit, ut sim ei sacerdos ”.
4 (UKJV) And he said unto them, Thus and thus deals Micah with me, and has hired me, and I am his priest.

5 (KAT) Potom ho poprosili: „Opýtaj sa Boha, aby sme vedeli, či bude šťastná naša cesta, na ktorú sa vydávame!“
5 (VUL) Rogaveruntque eum, ut consuleret Deum, ut scire possent an prospero itinere pergerent, et res haberet effectum.
5 (UKJV) And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray you, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.

6 (KAT) Kňaz im odpovedal: „Choďte v pokoji! Cesta, na ktorú sa vyberáte, je milá Bohu.“
6 (VUL) Qui respondit eis: “ Ite cum pace; Dominus respicit viam vestram et iter, quo pergitis ”.
6 (UKJV) And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein all of you go.

7 (KAT) Tak sa tí piati mužovia pobrali ďalej, až prišli do Lais. A videli tam ľudí, ktorí bývali podľa spôsobu Sidončanov bezstarostne, ticho a pokojne. Nikomu v krajine nekrivdili, aby strhli na seba panstvo, od Sidona boli ďaleko a s ostatným svetom nemali nič do činenia.
7 (VUL) Euntes itaque quinque viri venerunt Lais videruntque populum habitantem in ea absque ullo timore iuxta Sidoniorum consuetudinem, securum et quietum, nullo eis penitus resistente, magnarumque opum et procul a Sidoniis neque in societate cum Syria.
7 (UKJV) "Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in any thing; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man. "

8 (KAT) Keď sa vrátili k svojim bratom do Saray a Estaolu, ich bratia sa ich pýtali: „Ako ste pochodili?“
8 (VUL) Reversique ad fratres suos in Saraa et Esthaol et quid egissent sciscitantibus, responderunt:
8 (UKJV) And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say all of you?

9 (KAT) Odpovedali: „Hor' sa! Vytiahnime proti nim! Videli sme totiž krajinu, ktorá je naozaj veľmi dobrá. Azda ešte váhate? Neotáľajte, ale vyberte sa už! Treba len vyraziť a krajinu zaujať!
9 (VUL) “ Surgite, et ascendamus adversus eos. Vidimus enim terram valde opulentam et uberem, et vos neglegetis? Nolite cessare; eamus et possideamus eam.
9 (UKJV) And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are all of you still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.

10 (KAT) Keď ta dôjdete, dostanete sa k bezstarostnému ľudu a do veľmi rozľahlej krajiny - Boh ju dá do vašej ruky -, na miesto, kde je hojnosť všetkého, čo je na zemi.“
10 (VUL) Intrabimus ad securos in regionem latissimam; tradetque nobis Deus locum, in quo nullius rei est penuria eorum, quae sunt in terra ”.
10 (UKJV) "When all of you go, all of you shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God has given it into your hands; a place where there is no lack of any thing that is in the earth. "

11 (KAT) Vytiahlo teda odtiaľ - z kmeňa Danovcov, zo Saray a Estaola - šesťsto mužov vyzbrojených do boja.
11 (VUL) Profecti igitur sunt de cognatione Dan, de Saraa et Esthaol, sescenti viri accincti armis bellicis.
11 (UKJV) And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.

12 (KAT) Na svojom pochode táborili v Kirjatiarime v Júdsku. Preto sa to miesto nazýva Machane-Dan (“Tábor Danovcov“) až podnes. Je to západne od Kirjatiarima.
12 (VUL) Ascendentesque castrametati sunt in Cariathiarim Iudae, qui locus ex eo tempore Castrorum Dan nomen accepit et est post tergum Cariathiarim.
12 (UKJV) And they went up, and pitched in Kirjathjearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahanehdan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjathjearim.

13 (KAT) Odtiaľ tiahli ďalej na Efraimské pohorie a došli k Michovmu domu.
13 (VUL) Inde transierunt in montem Ephraim. Cumque venissent usque ad domum Michae,
13 (UKJV) And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.

14 (KAT) Piati mužovia, ktorí boli na výzvedy v krajine Lais, začali rozprávať svojim bratom: „Viete, že v týchto domoch je efód i terafim a modla s obťahom? Ale aby ste vedeli, čo máte teraz robiť!“
14 (VUL) dixerunt quinque viri, qui prius missi fuerant ad considerandam terram Lais, fratribus suis: “ Nostis quod in domibus istis sit ephod et theraphim et sculptile atque conflatile? Videte quid vobis placeat, ut faciatis ”.
14 (UKJV) Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do all of you know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what all of you have to do.

15 (KAT) Zabočili ta, vošli do domu mladého levitu, do Michovho domu, a pozdravili ho.
15 (VUL) Et, cum paululum declinassent, ingressi sunt domum adulescentis Levitae, domum Michae, salutaveruntque eum verbis pacificis.
15 (UKJV) And they turned in that direction, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.

16 (KAT) Ale tých šesťsto ozbrojených mužov (Danovcov) zostalo stáť pred bránou.
16 (VUL) Sescenti autem viri, ita ut erant armati, stabant ante ostium.
16 (UKJV) And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.

17 (KAT) Piati mužovia, ktorí boli na výzvedy v krajine, vstúpili a vnikli dnu, aby vzali modlu s obťahom, efód a terafim. Kňaz však zostal pred bránou pri tých šesťsto mužoch, vyzbrojených do boja.
17 (VUL) At illi, qui ingressi fuerant domum iuvenis, sculptile et ephod et theraphim atque conflatile tulerunt; et sacerdos stabat ante ostium et sescenti viri armati.
17 (UKJV) And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.

18 (KAT) Keď vošli do Michovho domu a odnášali modlu s obťahom, efód a terafim, opýtal sa ich kňaz: „Čo to robíte?“
18 (VUL) Tulerunt igitur, qui intraverant domum, sculptile, ephod et theraphim atque conflatile. Quibus dixit sacerdos: “ Quid facitis? ”.
18 (UKJV) And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do all of you?

19 (KAT) Odpovedali mu: „Mlč! Polož si ruku na ústa! Poď s nami a buď nám otcom a kňazom! Čo ti je lepšie, byť kňazom v dome jedného muža alebo byť kňazom v jednom kmeni a Izraelovom rode?“
19 (VUL) Cui responderunt: “ Tace et pone digitum super os tuum venique nobiscum, ut habeamus te patrem et sacerdotem. Quid tibi melius est, ut sis sacerdos in domo unius viri, an in una tribu et familia in Israel? ”.
19 (UKJV) And they said unto him, Hold your peace, lay your hand upon your mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for you to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that you be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?

20 (KAT) Pritom sa kňazova myseľ rozjasnila. Vzal efód, terafim i modlu a pripojil sa k ľudu.
20 (VUL) Et gavisus est sacerdos tulitque ephod et theraphim ac sculptile et profectus est in medio populi.
20 (UKJV) 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.

21 (KAT) Nato odtiahli a išli ďalej. Deti, stáda a cennosti pustili napred.
21 (VUL) Qui cum pergerent et ante se ire fecissent parvulos et iumenta et omne, quod erat pretiosum,
21 (UKJV) So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them.

22 (KAT) Keď už boli ďaleko od Michovho domu, zvolali sa mužovia, čo bývali v domoch, ktoré patrili k domu Michovmu, a pustili sa za Danovcami.
22 (VUL) iamque a domo Michae essent procul, viri, qui habitabant in aedibus prope domum Michae, convocati secuti sunt filios Dan
22 (UKJV) And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.

23 (KAT) Keď kričali na Danovcov, oni sa obrátili a opýtali sa Michu: „Čo ti je, že kričíš!“
23 (VUL) et post tergum clamare coeperunt. Qui cum respexissent, dixerunt ad Micham: “ Quid tibi vis? Cur concurritis? ”.
23 (UKJV) And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What disturbs you, that you come with such a company?

24 (KAT) Odpovedal: „Môjho boha, ktorého som si urobil, ste mi vzali, aj kňaza, a potom ste odtiahli. Čo mi ešte zostáva? Ako sa ma môžete pýtať: »Čo ti je?!«“
24 (VUL) Qui respondit: “ Deos meos, quos mihi feci, tulistis, et sacerdotem et omnia, quae habeo, et dicitis: “Quid tibi est?” ”.
24 (UKJV) And he said, All of you have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and all of you are gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that all of you say unto me, What disturbs you?

25 (KAT) Danovci mu však odvetili: „Nech už nepočujeme tvoj krik! Ináč na vás zaútočia mužovia rozhorčenej mysle a mohlo by ťa to stáť život aj život tvojho domu.“
25 (VUL) Dixeruntque ei filii Dan: “ Cave, ne ultra loquaris ad nos, et irruant in te viri animo concitati, et ipse cum omni domo tua pereas ”.
25 (UKJV) And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not your voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household.

26 (KAT) A Danovci šli svojou cestou. Keď Micha videl, že sú silnejší ako on, vrátil sa a pobral sa do svojho domu.
26 (VUL) Et sic, coepto itinere, perrexerunt. Videns autem Michas quod fortiores se essent, reversus est in domum suam.
26 (UKJV) And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.

27 (KAT) Oni však vzali so sebou Michovo dielo aj kňaza, ktorý bol u neho, a dostali sa do Lais, kde bývali pokojní a bezstarostní ľudia. Pobili ich mečom a mesto vypálili.
27 (VUL) Sescenti autem viri tulerunt, quod Michas fecerat, et sacerdotem eius veneruntque in Lais ad populum quiescentem atque securum et percusserunt eos in ore gladii urbemque incendio tradiderunt,
27 (UKJV) And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were resting and secure: and they stroke them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.

28 (KAT) Ale nik mu neprišiel na pomoc, lebo ležalo ďaleko od Sidona a nemalo nijakého spojenia so svetom. Ležalo totiž v údolí Bet-Rohob. Potom si mesto postavili a usadili sa v ňom.
28 (VUL) nullo penitus ferente praesidium, eo quod procul habitarent a Sidone neque cum Syria haberent quidquam societatis ac negotii. Erat autem civitas sita in regione Rohob; quam rursum exstruentes habitaverunt in ea,
28 (UKJV) "And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lies by Bethrehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein. "

29 (KAT) A mesto nazvali Dan podľa mena svojho otca, ktorý bol synom Izraela. Predtým sa mesto nazývalo Lais.
29 (VUL) vocato nomine civitatis Dan iuxta vocabulum patris sui, quem genuerat Israel, quae prius Lais dicebatur.
29 (UKJV) And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: nevertheless the name of the city was Laish at the first.

30 (KAT) Nato si Danovci postavili modlu a Jonatán, syn Manassesovho syna Gersona, a jeho synovia boli kňazmi až do dňa, keď bola krajina vyľudnená.
30 (VUL) Posueruntque sibi sculptile; et Ionathan filius Gersam filii Moysi ac filii eius sacerdotes erant in tribu Dan usque ad diem captivitatis terrae;
30 (UKJV) And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.

31 (KAT) Vystavovali si Michovu modlu, ktorú on urobil, celý čas, čo bol Boží dom v Šíle.
31 (VUL) mansitque apud eos idolum Michae omni tempore, quo fuit domus Dei in Silo.
31 (UKJV) And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
