Bisisu 18
1 Amo esoha, hina bagade dunu Isala: ili soge ganodini esalebe hame ba: i. Isala: ili fi dunu da ilia soge ilegei amo lai dagoi. Be Da: ne fi da soge hame lai. Amaiba: le, ilia da soge gesowale fima: ne hogoi helesu.
In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the Danites was looking for an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day, their inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.
2 Da: ne dunu da ilia sosogo fi amoga bagade dawa: su dunu biyale gala amo soge hogomusa: ilegei. Ilia da amo dunu, Soula moilai bai bagade amola Esadoule soge, amoga asunasi. Ilia da Ifala: ime agolo sogega doaga: loba, Maiga ea diasuga golai.
The people 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 stayed there.
3 Amoga esalea, ilia da gobele salasu ayeligi ea sia: hisu nababeba: le, e da Lifai dunu ilia dawa: i galu. Ilia da ema asili, amane adole ba: i, “Di da guiguda: adi hamosala: ? Nowa da di guiguda: oule misibala: ?”
When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite; and they turned in that direction, and said to him, "Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? And what is your business here?"
4 E bu adole i, “Na da Maiga ea hawa: hamonana. Na da ea gobele salasu hawa: hamonanebeba: le, e da nama bidi iaha.”
He said to them, "Thus and so has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his cohen."
5 Ilia da ema bu adole i, amane, “Di Godema adole ba: ma. Ninia da logoga ahoasea, hahawane ba: ma: bela: ?”
They said to him, "Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous."
6 Gobele salasu dunu da ilima bu adole i, “Mae dawa: ma! Dilia da se hame nabimu. Dilia ahoasea, Hina Gode da dili noga: le ouligilalumu.”
The cohen said to them, "Go in peace. The LORD will watch over you on your journey."
7 Amaiba: le, amo dunu biyale gala da fisili, asili, La: isi moilaiga doaga: i. Ilia da La: isi dunu ilia hou ba: i. Ilia da Saidounia dunu defele, hahawane, olofoiwane esalu. Ilia hanai huluane, ilia da gagui dagoi. Ilia da eno dunuma hame gegenai. Ilia da Saidounia dunu gadenene hame esalu. Ilia da eno dunu fi ilima hame gilisisu.
Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people who were there, and how they lived in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no one in the land possessing authority that might trouble them in anyway, and they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with Aram.
8 Dunu biyale gala da ilia moilaidafa amo Soula amola Esedoule amoga bu doaga: loba, ilia fi dunu da ilia ba: i liligi ilima adoma: ne sia: i.
They came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brothers said to them, "What do you say?"
9 Ilia da bu adole i, “Misa! Ninia La: isi moilai fi doagala: mu da defea. Ninia da ilia soge ba: i dagoi. Soge da noga: idafa. Dilia! Udigili mae esaloma! Hedolo! Amoga asili, amo soge gesowale fima.
They said, "Arise, and let us go up against them, for we have entered and journeyed in the land as far as Laish, and we saw the people how they lived in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, and they were far from the Sidonians, and they had no dealings with Aram. But arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and look, it is very good. Will you do nothing? Do not hesitate to go and to enter in to possess the land.
10 Amoga asili dilia da ba: mu. Dunu eno da ilima doagala: mu ilia hame dawa: Soge da bagadedafa. Amo ganodini da dilia hanai huluane ba: mu. Gode da amo soge dilima i dagoi.”
When 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 on the earth."
11 Amaiba: le, Da: ne fi dunu 600 da gegema: ne momagele, Soula amola Esedoule fisili asi.
Then the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men armed with weapons of war, set forth from there.
12 Ilia da sogebi amo Gilia: de Yialimi moilai bai bagade Yuda soge ganodini amo ea eso dabe la: ididili amoga abula diasu gaguli esalu. Amaiba: le, amo sogebi ea dio wali da Da: ne Abula Fisisu.
They went up, and camped in Kiriath Jearim, in Judah. Therefore they called that place Mahaneh Dan to this day; look, it is behind Kiriath Jearim.
13 Amo sogebi fisili asili, ilia da Maiga ea diasu Ifala: ime agolo soge ganodini gala, amoga doaga: i.
They passed there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
14 Amalalu, dunu biyale gala musa: da La: isi soge hogola asi, ilia dogolegei dunuma amane sia: i, “Diasu afae guiguda: da ifaga hamoi ‘gode’ agoaila amo silifaga dedeboi, amo dilia dawa: bela: ? ‘gode’ agoaila eno amola gala amola ‘ifode’ gala. Ninia da adi hamoma: bela: ?”
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 an engraved image, and a molten image? Now therefore consider what you have to do."
15 Amaiba: le, ilia da Lifai ayeligi ea esalebe Maiga diasu ganodini asili, Lifai ea hou ema adole ba: i.
They 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.
16 Amoha, Da: ne dadi gagui 600, gegemusa: momagei dagoi, da diasu gagoi ga: suga lelebe ba: i.
The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the people of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.
17 Desega ahoasu dunu biyale gala da diasu ganodini golili sa: ili, ilia da ifa ‘gode’ agoaila silifaga dedeboi, amola ‘gode’ agoaila eno huluane amola “ifode” lai dagoi. Lifai gobele salasu dunu amola dadi gagui dunu 600 agoane da logo holei gadenene lelu.
The 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 cohen stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.
18 Dunu da Maiga diasuga, sema liligi wamolamusa: ahoanoba, gobele salasu dunu da ilima amane adole ba: i, “Dilia da adi hamosala: ?”
And these went into Micah's house, and took the engraved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. And the cohen said to them, "What are you doing?"
19 Ilia bu adole i, “Ouiya: ma! Maedafa sia: ma! Di amola nini sigi masa! Di da ninia gobele salasu dunu hamomu da defea. Di da dunu afae ea sosogo fi fonobahadi ilima gobele salasu hawa: hamomu da defea hame. Be di da Isala: ili fidafa bagade huluane ilima gobele salasu hawa: hamomu da defea.”
They said to him, "Hold your peace, lay your hand on your mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a cohen. Is it better for you to be cohen to the house of one man, or to be cohen to a tribe and a family in Israel?"
20 Amo hou, gobele salasu dunu da hahawane ba: i. Amaiba: le, e da sema liligi huluane gaguli, ili sigi asi.
The cohen's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the engraved image, and the molten image, and went in the midst of the people.
21 Ilia sinidigili, logoga asi. Ilia mano, bulamagau amola liligi da ili bisili asi.
So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the livestock and the goods before them.
22 Ilia da fonobahadi sedade asili, Maiga da ea gadenene fi dunu huluane amo dunuma gegemusa: fa: no bobogei. Ilia da Da: ne dunuma doaga: le,
They were some distance from the house of Micah, and look, Micah and the men who were in the houses near Micah's house gathered together and overtook the people of Dan.
23 ilima wele sia: i dagoi. Da: ne dunu da sinidigili, Maiga ema amane adole ba: i, “Adi hou? Dunu bagade da abuli misibala: ?”
They cried to the people of Dan. They turned their faces, and said to Micah, "What's wrong with you, that you come with such a company?"
24 Maiga da bu adole i, “Giadofai dilia dawa: Dilia da na gobele salasu dunu amola ‘gode’ liligi na hamoi amo huluane lale, asi dagoi. Na da liligi eno hame galebe.”
He said, "You have taken away my gods which I made for myself, and the cohen, and have gone away, and what more do I have? How then do you say to me, 'What's wrong with you?'"
25 Da: ne dunu da ema bu adole i, “Di da ouiya: mu da defea. Bai agoane hame hamosea, ninia dunu da di doagala: mu. Amasea, di amola dia sosogo fi huluane da bogogia: mu.”
The people of Dan said to him, "Do not let your voice be heard among us, or angry men will attack you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household."
26 Amalalu, Da: ne dunu da bu logoga ahoanu. Maiga da ba: i dagoi, ilia gasa da ea gasa baligi dagoi. Amaiba: le, e da sinidigili, hi diasuga buhagi.
The people of Dan went their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.
They took that which Micah had made, and the cohen 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.
28 Da: ne dunu da gobele salasu dunu amola Maiga ea hamoi liligi huluane lalu, asili, La: isi moilai doagala: i. La: isi dunu da olofoiwane, asaboiwane noga: i dunu esalu. Ilia da fago amo ganodini esalu. Amo fago ganodini moilai eno galu amo Bedelihobe. Da: ne dunu da La: isi dunu, uda amola mano huluane medole legei. Ilia diasu huluane ilia da laluga ulagisi. La: isi dunu da gaga: su dunu hame ba: i. Bai ilia da Saidone sogega sedagawane esalu amola ilia eno dunu fi ilima hame gilisisu. Da: ne dunu da La: isi moilai bu gaguli, amo ganodini fi.
There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone, and it was in the valley that lies by Beth Rehob. They built the city, and lived there.
29 Amo moilai dio La: isi ilia da fisili bu Da: ne dio asuli. Ilia siba eda Da: ne amo Ya: igobe ea mano, amo dawa: le ilia amo dio asuli.
They called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor, who was born to Israel. However the name of the city was originally Laish.
30 Da: ne dunu da moilai ganodini ogogosu ‘gode’ ilia lai amoma nodone sia: ne gadomusa: bugisi. Yonada: ne (Gesiome egefe amola Mousese ea aowa) da Da: ne fi amo ganodini gobele salasu hawa: hamosu. Egaga fi amola da e bagia amo hawa: hamonanu. Yuda dunu huluane da mugululi asi dagoiba: le fawane fisi.
The people of Dan set up for themselves the engraved image. And Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, and his sons were cohanim to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the exile from the land.
31 Isala: ili dunu da Abula Diasu Siailou sogebiga gagui amoga Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu. Be amo Abula Diasu da dialea, Maiga ea ogogosu ‘gode’ da Da: ne moilai ganodini dialebe ba: i.
So they set up for themselves Micah's engraved image which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
