Judges 18

KING JAMES BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 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.	1 وفي تلك الايام لم يكن ملك في اسرائيل. وفي تلك الايام كان سبط الدانيين يطلب له ملكا للسكنى. لانه الى ذلك اليوم لم يقع له نصيب في وسط اسباط اسرائيل.
2 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.	2 فارسل بنو دان من عشيرتهم خمسة رجال منهم رجالا بني بأس من صرعة ومن اشتأول لتجسس الارض وفحصها. وقالوا لهم اذهبوا افحصوا الارض. فجاءوا الى جبل افرايم الى بيت ميخا وباتوا هناك.
3 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 thee hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?	3 وبينما هم عند بيت ميخا عرفوا صوت الغلام اللاوي فمالوا الى هناك وقالوا له. من جاء بك الى هنا وماذا انت عامل في هذا المكان ومالك هنا.
4 And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.	4 فقال لهم كذا وكذا عمل لي ميخا وقد استأجرني فصرت له كاهنا.
5 And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.	5 فقالوا له اسأل اذن من الله لنعلم هل ينجح طريقنا الذي نحن سائرون فيه.
6 And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go.	6 فقال لهم الكاهن اذهبوا بسلام. امام الرب طريقكم الذي تسيرون فيه
7 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.	7 فذهب الخمسة الرجال وجاءوا الى لايش ورأوا الشعب الذين فيها ساكنين بطمانينة كعادة الصيدونيين مستريحين مطمئنين وليس في الارض مؤذ بأمر وارث رياسة وهم بعيدون عن الصيدونيين وليس لهم امر مع انسان.
8 And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye?	8 وجاءوا الى اخوتهم الى صرعة واشتأول فقال لهم اخوتهم ما انتم.
9 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 ye still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.	9 فقالوا قوموا نصعد اليهم لاننا رأينا الارض وهوذا هي جيدة جدا وانتم ساكتون. لا تتكاسلوا عن الذهاب لتدخلوا وتملكوا الارض.
10 When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth.	10 عند مجيئكم تاتون الى شعب مطمئن والارض واسعة الطرفين. ان الله قد دفعها ليدكم. مكان ليس فيه عوز لشيء مما في الارض
11 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.	11 فارتحل من هناك من عشيرة الدانيين من صرعة ومن اشتأول ست مئة رجل متسلحين بعدة الحرب.
12 And they went up, and pitched in Kirjath-jearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjath-jearim.	12 وصعدوا وحلّوا في قرية يعاريم في يهوذا. لذلك دعوا ذلك المكان محلّة دان الى هذا اليوم. هوذا هي وراء قرية يعاريم.
13 And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.	13 وعبروا من هناك الى جبل افرايم وجاءوا الى بيت ميخا.
14 Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, 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.	14 فاجاب الخمسة الرجال الذين ذهبوا لتجسّس ارض لايش وقالوا لاخوتهم أتعلمون ان في هذه البيوت افودا وترافيم وتمثالا منحوتا وتمثالا مسبوكا. فالآن اعلموا ما تفعلون.
15 And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.	15 فمالوا الى هناك وجاءوا الى بيت الغلام اللاوي بيت ميخا وسلموا عليه.
16 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.	16 والست مئة الرجل المتسلحون بعدتهم للحرب واقفون عند مدخل الباب. هؤلاء من بني دان.
17 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.	17 فصعد الخمسة الرجال الذين ذهبوا لتجسّس الارض ودخلوا الى هناك واخذوا التمثال المنحوت والافود والترافيم والتمثال المسبوك. والكاهن واقف عند مدخل الباب مع الست مئة الرجل المتسلحين بعدة الحرب.
18 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 ye?	18 وهؤلاء دخلوا بيت ميخا وأخذوا التمثال المنحوت والافود والترافيم والتمثال المسبوك. فقال لهم الكاهن ماذا تفعلون.
19 And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?	19 فقالوا له اخرس. ضع يدك على فمك واذهب معنا وكن لنا ابا وكاهنا. أهو خير لك ان تكون كاهنا لبيت رجل واحد ام ان تكون كاهنا لسبط ولعشيرة في اسرائيل.
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.	20 فطاب قلب الكاهن واخذ الافود والترافيم والتمثال المنحوت ودخل في وسط الشعب.
21 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them.	21 ثم انصرفوا وذهبوا ووضعوا الاطفال والماشية والثقل قدامهم.
22 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.	22 ولما ابتعدوا عن بيت ميخا اجتمع الرجال الذين في البيوت التي عند بيت ميخا وادركوا بني دان
23 And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?	23 وصاحوا الى بني دان فالتفتوا وقالوا لميخا ما لك صرخت.
24 And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that ye say unto me, What aileth thee?	24 فقال. آلهتي التي عملت قد اخذتموها مع الكاهن وذهبتم فماذا لي بعد. وما هذا تقولون لي مالك.
25 And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household.	25 فقال له بنو دان لا تسمّع صوتك بيننا لئلا يقع بكم رجال انفسهم مرّة فتنزع نفسك وانفس بيتك.
26 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.	26 وسار بنو دان في طريقهم. ولما رأى ميخا انهم اشدّ منه انصرف ورجع الى بيته
27 And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.	27 واما هم فأخذوا ما صنع ميخا والكاهن الذي كان له وجاءوا الى لايش الى شعب مستريح مطمئن وضربوهم بحد السيف واحرقوا المدينة بالنار.
28 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 lieth by Beth-rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.	28 ولم يكن من ينقذ لانها بعيدة عن صيدون ولم يكن لهم امر مع انسان وهي في الوادي الذي لبيت رحوب. فبنوا المدينة وسكنوا بها.
29 And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first.	29 ودعوا اسم المدينة دان باسم دان ابيهم الذي ولد لاسرائيل. ولكن اسم المدينة اولا لايش.
30 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.	30 واقام بنو دان لانفسهم التمثال المنحوت وكان يهوناثان ابن جرشوم بن منسّى هو وبنوه كهنة لسبط الدانيين الى يوم سبي الارض.
31 And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.	31 ووضعوا لانفسهم تمثال ميخا المنحوت الذي عمله كل الايام التي كان فيها بيت الله في شيلوه
