1 En aquella época Israel no tenía rey. La tribu de Dan buscaba un territorio en el que poder vivir, porque hasta entonces no habían conseguido la posesión de la tierra que se les había concedido entre las tribus de Israel.
1 In those days there was no king in Israel. 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.
2 Así que los danitas eligieron de entre ellos a cinco hombres destacados de Zora y Estaol para que recorrieran la tierra y la exploraran. “Vayan y exploren la tierra”, les dijeron. Cuando los hombres llegaron a la región montañosa de Efraín, llegaron a la casa de Miqueas, donde pasaron la noche.
2 The children of Dan sent five men of their family from their whole number, men of valor, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land and to search it. They said to them, “Go, explore the land!” They came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.
3 Mientras estaban allí, reconocieron el acento del joven levita, así que se dirigieron a él y le preguntaron: “¿Quién te ha traído aquí y qué haces en este lugar? ¿Por qué estás aquí?”
3 When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite; so they went over there and said to him, “Who brought you here? What do you do in this place? What do you have here?”
4 “Miqueas me arregló las cosas y me contrató como sacerdote”, les dijo.
4 He said to them, “Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his priest.”
5 “Por favor, pide al Señor por nosotros para saber si nuestro viaje tendrá éxito”, le pidieron.
5 They said to him, “Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.”
6 “Id en paz”, respondió el sacerdote. “El viaje que están haciendo está siendo observado por el Señor”.
6 The priest said to them, “Go in peace. Your way in which you go is before Yahweh.”
7 Los cinco hombres partieron y se dirigieron a la ciudad de Lais. Observaron que el pueblo de allí vivía con seguridad y seguía las costumbres de los sidonios. El pueblo estaba desprevenido y confiado en su seguridad, en su casa, en una tierra productiva. No tenían un gobernante fuerte, vivían muy lejos de los sidonios y no tenían otros aliados que los ayudaran.
7 Then the five men departed and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, how they lived in safety, in the way of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no one 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 anyone else.
8 Los hombres regresaron a Zora y Estaol, y sus parientes les preguntaron: “¿Qué han hecho?”
8 They came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol; and their brothers asked them, “What do you say?”
9 “¡Vamos a atacarlos!”, interrumpieron los hombres. “¡Hemos inspeccionado el terreno y es excelente! ¿No harán algo? ¡No se tarden en ir y ocupar el terreno!
9 They said, “Arise, and let’s 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.
10 Cuando lleguen allí verán que la gente es desprevenida y que la tierra es extensa. Dios te ha dado un lugar donde no falta nada”.
10 When you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people, and the land is large; for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth.”
11 Así que seiscientos hombres armados danitas salieron de Zora y Estaol, listos para atacar.
11 The family of the Danites set out from Zorah and Eshtaol with six hundred men armed with weapons of war.
12 En el camino acamparon en Quiriat-Yearín, en Judá. Por eso el lugar al oeste de Quiriat-Yearín se llama hasta hoy el Campo de Dan.
12 They went up and encamped in Kiriath Jearim in Judah. Therefore they call that place Mahaneh Dan to this day. Behold, it is behind Kiriath Jearim.
13 Luego partieron de allí y se dirigieron a la región montañosa de Efraín y llegaron a la casa de Miqueas.
13 They passed from there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
14 Entonces los cinco hombres que habían ido a explorar la tierra de Lais dijeron a los demás miembros de la tribu: “¿Se dan cuenta de que aquí, en estas casas, hay un efod, dioses domésticos y un ídolo tallado, una imagen hecha con plata fundida? Así que ya saben lo que deben hacer”.
14 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 a carved image, and a molten image? Now therefore consider what you have to do.”
15 Los cinco hombres dejaron el camino y fueron a donde vivía el joven levita en la casa de Miqueas para preguntar cómo estaba.
15 They went over there and came to the house of the young Levite man, even to the house of Micah, and asked him how he was doing.
16 Los seiscientos hombres armados danitas estaban a la entrada, junto a la puerta.
16 The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.
17 Los cinco hombres entraron y tomaron el ídolo tallado, el efod, los ídolos domésticos y la imagen hecha con plata fundida. El sacerdote estaba junto a la puerta con los seiscientos hombres armados.
17 The five men who went to spy out the land went up, and came in there, and took the engraved image, the ephod, 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 Cuando el sacerdote los vio llevarse todos los objetos religiosos de la casa de Miqueas, les preguntó: “¿Qué están haciendo?”
18 When these went into Micah’s house, and took the engraved image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”
19 “¡Cállense! ¡No digan nada! Vengan con nosotros, y podrán ser nuestro ‘padre’ y sacerdote. ¿No sería mejor para ti que en lugar de ser sacerdote de la casa de un solo hombre fueras el sacerdote de una tribu y una familia israelita?”
19 They said to him, “Hold your peace, put your hand on your mouth, and go with us. Be a father and a priest to us. 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 Esto le pareció una buena idea al sacerdote y se fue con ellos. Llevando el efod, los ídolos de la casa y la imagen hecha con plata fundida, marchó con el pueblo a su alrededor.
20 The priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, the teraphim, and the engraved image, and went with the people.
21 Continuaron su viaje, poniendo por delante a sus hijos, su ganado y sus posesiones.
21 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones, the livestock, and the goods before them.
22 Los danitas ya estaban bastante lejos de la casa de Miqueas cuando los hombres del pueblo de Miqueas los alcanzaron,
22 When they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah’s house gathered together and overtook the children of Dan.
23 gritándoles. Los danitas se volvieron para mirarlos y le preguntaron a Miqueas: “¿Qué te pasa? ¿Por qué llamas a estos hombres para que vengan a por nosotros?”
23 As they called to the children of Dan, they turned their faces, and said to Micah, “What ails you, that you come with such a company?”
24 “Se han robado los dioses que hice, y también a mi sacerdote, y luego se han ido. ¿Qué me han dejado? ¿Cómo pueden preguntarme: ‘Qué te pasa’?”
24 He said, “You have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and have gone away! What more do I have? How can you ask me, ‘What ails you?’”
25 “¡No te quejes con nosotros!” contestaron los danitas. “¡Algunos de los que están de mal humor aquí podrían atacarte y tú y tu familia perderían la vida!”
25 The 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.”
26 Los danitas siguieron su camino. Miqueas vio que eran demasiado fuertes para luchar, así que se dio la vuelta y regresó a su casa.
26 The 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.
27 Así que los danitas se llevaron los ídolos que había hecho Miqueas, así como a su sacerdote. Atacaron a Lais con su gente pacífica y desprevenida, los mataron a espada y quemaron la ciudad.
27 They took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, and struck them with the edge of the sword; then they burned the city with fire.
28 Nadie pudo salvarlos porque estaban muy lejos de Sidón y no tenían otros aliados que los ayudaran. La ciudad estaba en el valle que pertenece a Bet-rejob. Los danitas reconstruyeron la ciudad y vivieron allí.
28 There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone else; and it was in the valley that lies by Beth Rehob. They built the city and lived in it.
29 Cambiaron el nombre de la ciudad a Dan, en honor a su antepasado, el hijo de Israel. Laish era su nombre anterior.
29 They 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 used to be Laish.
30 Los danitas erigieron el ídolo tallado para adorarlo, y Jonatán, hijo de Gersón, hijo de Moisés, y sus hijos se convirtieron en sacerdotes de la tribu de Dan hasta el momento en que el pueblo salió del país en cautiverio.
30 The children 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 captivity of the land.
31 Ellos adoraron el ídolo tallado que Miqueas había hecho todo el tiempo que el Templo de Dios estuvo en Silo.
31 So they set up for themselves Micah’s engraved image which he made, and it remained all the time that God’s house was in Shiloh.
