Danites Seek Territory
1Pada zaman itu tidak ada raja di antara orang Israel dan pada zaman itu suku Dan sedang mencari milik pusaka untuk menetap, sebab sampai hari itu mereka belum juga mendapat bagian milik pusaka di tengah-tengah suku-suku Israel. 2Sebab itu bani Dan menyuruh dari kaumnya lima orang dari seluruh jumlah mereka, semuanya orang-orang yang gagah perkasa, yang berasal dari Zora dan Esytaol, untuk mengintai negeri itu dan menyelidikinya, serta berkata kepada mereka: "Pergilah menyelidiki negeri itu." Ketika orang-orang itu sampai ke pegunungan Efraim di rumah Mikha, bermalamlah mereka di sana. 3Ketika mereka ada dekat rumah Mikha itu, dikenal merekalah logat orang muda suku Lewi itu, lalu singgahlah mereka ke sana dan berkata kepadanya: "Siapakah yang membawa engkau ke mari ? Apakah pekerjaanmu dan urusanmu di sini ?" 4Katanya kepada mereka: "Begini begitulah dilakukan Mikha kepadaku; ia menggaji aku dan aku menjadi imamnya." 5Kata mereka kepadanya: "Tanyakanlah kiranya kepada Allah, supaya kami ketahui apakah perjalanan yang kami tempuh ini akan berhasil." 6Kata imam itu kepada mereka: "Pergilah dengan selamat ! Perjalanan yang kamu tempuh itu dipandang baik oleh TUHAN."
1In those days there was no king of Israel; and in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking an inheritance for themselves to live in, for until that day an inheritance had not been allotted to them as a possession among the tribes of Israel. 2So the sons of Dan sent from their family five men out of their whole number, valiant men from Zorah and Eshtaol, to spy out the land and to explore it; and they said to them, “Go, explore the land.” And they came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and stayed overnight there. 3When they were near 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 you here? And what are you doing in this place? And what do you have here?” 4He said to them, “Micah has done this and that for me, and he has hired me and I have become his priest.” 5Then they said to him, “Inquire of God, please, that we may know whether our way on which we are going will be successful.” 6And the priest said to them, “Go in peace; your way in which you are going has the LORD’S approval.”
7Sesudah itu pergilah kelima orang itu, lalu sampailah mereka ke Lais. Dilihat merekalah, bahwa rakyat yang diam di sana hidup dengan tenteram, menurut adat orang Sidon, aman dan tenteram. Orang-orang itu tidak kekurangan apapun yang ada di muka bumi, malah kaya harta. Mereka tinggal jauh dari orang Sidon dan tidak bergaul dengan siapapun juga. 8Setelah mereka kembali kepada saudara-saudara sesukunya di Zora dan Esytaol, berkatalah saudara-saudara sesukunya kepada mereka: "Apakah yang kamu dapati di sana?" 9Jawab mereka: "Bersiaplah, marilah kita maju menyerang mereka, sebab kami telah melihat negeri itu, dan memang sangat baik. Masakan kamu tinggal diam ! Janganlah bermalas-malas untuk pergi memasuki dan menduduki negeri itu. 10Apabila kamu memasukinya kamu mendapati rakyat yang hidup dengan tenteram, dan negeri itu luas ke sebelah kiri dan ke sebelah kanan. Sesungguhnya, Allah telah menyerahkannya ke dalam tanganmu; itulah tempat yang tidak kekurangan apapun yang ada di muka bumi."
7So the five men departed and came to Laish, and saw the people who were in it living in security, in the way of the Sidonians, quiet and unsuspecting; for there was no oppressive ruler humiliating them for anything in the land, and they were far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone. 8When they came back to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, their brothers said to them, “What do you say?” 9And they said, “Arise, and let’s go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. And will you sit still? Do not hesitate to go, to enter, to take possession of the land. 10“When you enter, you will come to an unsuspecting people with a spacious land; for God has handed it over to you, a place where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth.”
11Lalu berangkatlah dari sana, dari Zora dan Esytaol, enam ratus orang dari kaum suku Dan, diperlengkapi dengan senjata. 12Mereka maju, lalu berkemah di Kiryat-Yearim di Yehuda. Itulah sebabnya tempat itu disebut Mahane-Dan sampai sekarang; letaknya di sebelah barat Kiryat-Yearim. 13Dari sana mereka bergerak terus ke pegunungan Efraim dan sampai di rumah Mikha.
11Then from the family of the Danites, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, six hundred men armed with weapons of war set out. 12They went up and camped at Kiriath-jearim in Judah. Therefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan to this day; behold, it is west of Kiriath-jearim. 13And they passed from there to the hill country of Ephraim and came to the house of Micah.
Danites Take Micah’s Idols
14Lalu berbicaralah kelima orang yang telah pergi mengintai daerah Lais itu, katanya kepada saudara-saudara sesukunya: "Tahukah kamu, bahwa dalam rumah-rumah ini ada efod, terafim, patung pahatan dan patung tuangan ? Oleh sebab itu, insafilah apa yang akan kamu perbuat !" 15Kemudian mereka menuju ke tempat itu, lalu sampai di rumah orang muda suku Lewi itu, di rumah Mikha, dan menanyakan apakah ia selamat. 16Sementara keenam ratus orang dari bani Dan yang diperlengkapi dengan senjata itu tinggal berdiri di pintu gerbang, 17maka kelima orang yang telah pergi mengintai negeri itu berjalan terus, masuk ke dalam lalu mengambil patung pahatan, efod, terafim dan patung tuangan itu. Adapun imam itu berdiri di pintu gerbang bersama-sama dengan keenam ratus orang yang diperlengkapi dengan senjata itu. 18Tetapi, setelah yang lain-lain itu masuk ke dalam rumah Mikha dan mengambil patung pahatan, efod, terafim dan patung tuangan itu, berkatalah imam itu kepada mereka: "Berbuat apakah kamu ini?" 19Tetapi jawab mereka kepadanya: "Diamlah, tutup mulut, ikutlah kami dan jadilah bapak dan imam kami. Apakah yang lebih baik bagimu: menjadi imam untuk seisi rumah satu orang atau menjadi imam untuk suatu suku dan kaum di antara orang Israel ?" 20Maka gembiralah hati imam itu, diambilnyalah efod, terafim dan patung pahatan itu, lalu masuk ke tengah-tengah orang banyak.
14Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish said to their kinsmen, “Do you know that there are in these houses an ephod and household idols, and a carved image and a cast metal image? Now then, consider what you should do.” 15So they turned aside there and came to the house of the young man, the Levite, to the house of Micah, and asked him how he was doing. 16Meanwhile, the six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the sons of Dan, were positioned at the entrance of the gate. 17Now the five men who went to spy out the land went up and entered there; they took the carved image, the ephod, the household idols, and the cast metal image, while the priest was standing at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war. 18When these men entered Micah’s house and took the carved image, the ephod, household idols, and the cast metal image, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?” 19And they said to him, “Be silent, put your hand over your mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be a priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?” 20The priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, the household idols, and the carved image, and went among the people.
21Kemudian berbaliklah mereka dan pergi, dengan anak-anak, ternak dan barang-barang yang berharga ditempatkan di depan mereka. 22Ketika mereka telah jauh dari rumah Mikha, dikerahkanlah orang-orang dari rumah-rumah yang di dekat rumah Mikha dan orang-orang itu mengejar bani Dan itu. 23Mereka memanggil-manggil bani Dan, maka berbaliklah orang-orang itu dan berkata kepada Mikha: "Mau apa engkau dengan mengerahkan orang?" Lalu jawabnya: 24"Allahku yang kubuat serta imam juga kamu ambil, lalu kamu pergi. Apakah lagi yang masih tinggal padaku? Bagaimana perkataanmu itu kepadaku: Mau apa engkau?" 25Berkatalah bani Dan kepadanya: "Janganlah suaramu kedengaran lagi kepada kami, nanti ada orang yang menyerang engkau karena sakit hati dan dengan demikian engkau serta seisi rumahmu kehilangan nyawa." 26Lalu bani Dan melanjutkan perjalanannya, dan Mikha, setelah dilihatnya mereka itu lebih kuat dari padanya, berpalinglah ia pulang ke rumahnya.
21Then they turned and left, and put the children, the livestock, and the valuables in front of them. 22When they had distanced themselves from Micah’s house, the men who were in the houses near Micah’s house assembled by command and overtook the sons of Dan. 23Then they called out to the sons of Dan, who turned around and said to Micah, “What is the matter with you, that you have assembled together?” 24And he said, “You have taken my gods which I made, and the priest, and have gone away; what more do I have? So how can you say to me, ‘What is the matter with you?’” 25Then the sons of Dan said to him, “Do not let your voice be heard among us, or else fierce men will attack you, and you will lose your life and the lives of your household.” 26So the sons of Dan went on their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.
27Lalu bani Dan, dengan membawa barang-barang yang dibuat Mikha, juga imamnya, mendatangi Lais, yakni rakyat yang hidup dengan aman dan tenteram. Mereka memukul orang-orang itu dengan mata pedang dan kotanya dibakar. 28Tidak ada orang yang datang menolong, sebab kota itu jauh dari Sidon dan orang-orang kota itu tidak bergaul dengan siapapun juga. Letak kota itu di lembah Bet-Rehob. Kemudian bani Dan membangun kota itu kembali dan diam di sana. 29Mereka menamai kota itu Dan, menurut nama bapa leluhur mereka, yakni Dan, yang lahir bagi Israel, tetapi nama kota itu dahulu adalah Lais. 30Bani Dan menegakkan bagi mereka sendiri patung pahatan itu, lalu Yonatan bin Gersom bin Musa bersama-sama dengan anak-anaknya menjadi imam bagi suku Dan, sampai penduduk negeri itu diangkut sebagai orang buangan. 31Demikianlah mereka menempatkan bagi mereka sendiri patung pahatan yang telah dibuat Mikha itu, dan patung itu ada di sana selama rumah Allah ada di Silo.
27Then they took what Micah had made and the priest who had belonged to him, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, and struck them with the edge of the sword; and they burned the city with fire. 28And there was no one to save them, because it was far from Sidon and they had no dealings with anyone, and it was in the valley which is near Beth-rehob. So they rebuilt the city and lived in it. 29And they named the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father who was born to Israel; however, the name of the city was previously Laish. 30The sons of Dan set up for themselves the carved image; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land. 31So they set up for themselves Micah’s carved image which he had made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
