Ndalogo jo-Israel ne onge gi ruoth. Kendo e ndalogo joka Dan ne manyo kargi giwegi ma ginyalo dakie, nikech ne pod ok giyudo kar dak e dhout jo-Israel.
2 Choncho fuko la Dani linatumiza kuchokera ku mabanja awo onse anthu olimba mtima asanu. Anthuwa anachokera ku Zora ndi ku Esitaoli ndipo anatumidwa kukazonda ndi kuliyendera dzikolo. Anthu amenewa ankayimira fuko lonse la Dani. Anthuwa anawawuza kuti, “Pitani mukazonde dzikolo.” Anthuwa anafika ku dziko la mapiri la Efereimu ndi kupita ku nyumba ya Mika komwe anakagona.
Omiyo jo-Dan nooro jolweny abich moa Zora gi Eshtaol mondo onon pinyno kendo ongʼe kaka pinyno chalo. Jogi nochungʼne dhout gigo duto. Negiwachonegi niya, “Dhiuru mondo unon pinyno.” Jogo nodonjo e piny gode mag Efraim kendo negidhi e od Mika, kama ne ginindoe.
3 Ali ku nyumba ya Mika anazindikira mawu a mnyamata, Mlevi uja. Choncho anapita kwa iye namufunsa kuti, “Unabwera ndi ndani kuno? Nanga ukuchita chiyani ku malo ano? Komanso nʼchifukwa chiyani uli kuno?”
Kane gichopo machiegni gi od Mika, ne giwinjo dwond ja-Lawi moro ma wuowi; omiyo negidonjo kanyo mi gipenje niya, “Ngʼama nokeli ka? Angʼo ma itimo ka? Angʼo ma omiyo in ka?”
4 Iye anawawuza zimene Mika anamuchitira ndipo anati, “Iye anandilemba ntchito ndipo ndine wansembe wake.”
Nonyisogi gima Mika nosetimone, kendo owacho niya, “Osekawa kaka jatije kendo an jadolo mare.”
5 Kenaka iwo anati kwa iye, “Chonde tifunsire kwa Mulungu kuti tidziwe ngati ulendo wathuwu tiyende bwino.”
Eka negiwachone niya, “Kiyie to penjnwa Nyasaye ka wuodhwa dhi bedo maber.”
6 Wansembeyo anawayankha kuti, “Pitani mu mtendere, Yehova ali ndi inu pa ulendo wanuwu.”
Jadolo nodwokogi niya, “Dhiuru gi kwe. Wuodhu osepwodhi gi Jehova Nyasaye.”
7 Choncho anthu asanuwo ananyamuka ndipo anafika ku Laisi, kumene anaona kuti anthu ankakhala mwabata monga anthu a ku Sidoni. Anali anthu opanda chowavuta ndiponso aphee. Tsono popeza mʼdziko mwawo analibe chosowa, iwo anali a chuma. Anaonanso kuti anthuwo ankakhala kutali ndi Sidoni ndipo analibe ubale ndi wina aliyense.
Omiyo ji abichgo noa mi gichopo Laish, kama negineno ka ji odak kanyo gi kwe, mana kaka jo-Sidon, maonge paro moro amora kata kibaji kendo negidak gi kwe. To nikech pinygi ne ok ochando gimoro amora, ne gin joma omewo. Bende, negidak mochwolore gi jo-Sidon kendo ne gionge gi osiep gi ngʼato angʼata.
8 Ozonda dziko aja atabwerera kwa abale awo ku Zora ndi Esitaoli, abale awowo anawafunsa kuti, “Mwaonako zotani?”
Kane gidwogo Zora kod Eshtaol, owetegi nopenjogi niya, “Ne uyudo gik moko chalo nade kuno?”
9 “Tiyeni tikamenyane nawo nkhondo popeza taliona dziko lawolo kuti ndi lachonde kwambiri. Kodi simuchitapo kanthu? Musachite mphwayi kupita mʼdzikomo ndi kukalilanda.
Negidwokogi niya, “Biuru mondo wamonjgi! Waseneno ka piny cha ber ahinya. Donge udhi timo gimoro? Kik udeki ma ok udhi kuno kendo ukaw pinyno.
10 Mukalowa, mukapeza anthu amene ali osatekeseka ndi dziko lalikulu. Yehova wakupatsani dziko limeneli. Malowo ngosasowa kanthu kalikonse kopezeka pa dziko lapansi.”
Ka uchopo kuno, to unuyud jogo ma ok oikore ne lweny kendo gi piny malach ma Nyasaye oseketo e lwetu, piny maonge gima ochando kendo man-gi gik moko duto.”
11 Kenaka anthu 600 a fuko la Dani ananyamuka ku Zora ndi Esitaoli atanyamula zida za nkhondo.
Eka ji mia auchiel moa e dhood joka Dan, mane oikore ne lweny, nowuok oa Zora kod Eshtaol.
12 Tsono anakamanga msasa ku Kiriati-Yearimu mʼdziko la Yuda. Malowa ali kumadzulo kwa Kiriati-Yearimu. Ichi ndi chifukwa chake malowo akutchedwa Mahane Dani mpaka lero.

Kane gia kanyo negidhi e piny gode mag Efraim ma gichopo e od Mika.
14 Anthu asanu amene anakazonda dziko la Laisi anati kwa abale awo, “Kodi mukudziwa kuti imodzi mwa nyumba izi muli efodi, mafano a mʼnyumba otchedwa terafimu, fano losema ndiponso fano lokuta ndi siliva? Ndiye mudziwe chochita.”
Eka chwo abich mane obiro nono piny Laish nowachone owetegi niya, “Bende ungʼeyo ni achiel kuom udigi nigi law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod, nyiseche moko manono, kod kido mobaw gi fedha mag nyiseche manono? Koro ungʼeyo gima onego utim.”
15 Choncho anthuwa anapatuka napita ku nyumba ya Mika kumene mnyamata, Mlevi uja ankakhala ndipo anamufunsa za mmene zinthu zilili.
Omiyo negidhi kanyo ma gidonjo e od ja-Lawi ma wuowi mane ni ka Mika kendo gimose.
16 Nthawi imeneyi nʼkuti anthu 600 a fuko la Dani aja atayima pa chipata atanyamula zida za nkhondo.
Jolweny mia auchiel ma jo-Dan moikore ne lweny nochungʼ e dhorangach.

Kane jogi odhi e od Mika ma gikawo kido mopa, law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod, nyiseche manono mag udi kod nyiseche mopa, jadolo nowachonegi niya, “Angʼo mutimono?”
19 Iwo anamuyankha kuti, “Khala chete usayankhule. Tsagana nafe ndipo udzakhala mlangizi wathu ndi wansembe wathu. Kodi si kwabwino kwa iwe kukhala wansembe wa fuko lonse la Israeli mʼmalo mokhala wansembe wa munthu mmodzi yekha?”
Negidwoke niya, “Lingʼ thi! Kik iwach gimoro amora. Dhi kodwa, kendo ibed wuonwa kendo jadolowa. Donge ber ka itiyone anywola kod dhoot Israel kaka jadolo moloyo mana tiyone jood ngʼato achiel?”
20 Wansembeyo anakondwera ndipo anatenga efodi, fano la mʼnyumba ndi fano losema natsagana nawo.
Bangʼe jadolo nobedo gi mor. Nokawo law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod, nyiseche manono mag udi kod kido mopa kendo nodhi gi jogo.
21 Choncho iwo anatembenuka nachoka, atatsogoza ana, zoweta ndi katundu wawo yense.
Negichako wuoth ma gia ka nyithindgi matindo gi jambgi kod gigegi otelo e nyimgi.
22 Atayenda mtunda pangʼono kuchokera pa nyumba ya Mika, anthu amene amakhala pafupi ndi nyumba ya Mika anasonkhana kulondola a fuko la Dani aja, ndipo anawapeza.
Kane gisedhi mochwolore gi od Mika, jogo mane odak machiegni gi Mika noluong kanyakla kendo negilawo jo-Dan.
23 Atawafuwulira, a fuko la Dani aja anachewuka ndipo anafunsa Mika kuti, “Chavuta nʼchiyani kuti usonkhanitse anthu chotere?”
Kane gigoyo koko bangʼ-gi, jo-Dan nolokore kendo owacho ne Mika niya, “En angʼo marach kodi momiyo ne ioro wach ne jowu mondo oked kodwa?”
24 Iye anayankha kuti, “Inu mwanditengera milungu imene ndinapanga pamodzi ndi wansembe nʼkumapita. Tsono ine ndatsala ndi chiyani? Ndiye inu mungafunse kuti chavuta nʼchiyani?”
Nodwoko niya, “Ne ukawo nyiseche mane aloso, kod jadolo matiyona kendo mi uwuok. En angʼo kendo makoro an-go? Ere kaka unyalo penjo, ‘En angʼo marach kodi?’”
25 Anthu a fuko la Dani aja anayankha kuti, “Usayankhuleponso kanthu chifukwa anthu awa angapse mtima nakumenya ndipo iwe ndi banja lako lonse nʼkutayapo miyoyo yanu.”
Jo-Dan nodwoko niya, “We dwokori kodwa, ka ok kamano, to joma igi wangʼ moingo tekregi biro monji, bangʼe in kod joodi ibiro negi.”
26 Choncho anthu a fuko la Dani anapitiriza ulendo wawo. Mika ataona kuti anthuwo anali amphamvu kuposa iye, anangotembenuka kubwerera kwawo.
Omiyo jo-Dan nodhi nyime gi wuoth, kendo ka Mika noneno ka tekregi pekne, nowuok mi odok dalane.
27 Anthu a fuko la Dani aja anatenga zinthu zimene Mika anapanga pamodzi ndi wansembe uja. Iwo anakafika ku Laisi kwa anthu a phee, osatekeseka aja ndipo anawathira nkhondo, nawapha ndi kutentha mzindawo ndi moto.
Bangʼe negikawo gigo mane Mika oseloso, kod jadolo mare, kendo negidhi Laish, mondo giked gi jogo man-gi kwe kendo maonge gi ikruok moro amora mar kedo. Negimonjogi gi lingangla kendo negiwangʼo dala maduongʼno gi mach.
28 Panalibe wowapulumutsa chifukwa anali kutali ndi Sidoni ndiponso sanali pa ubale ndi wina aliyense. Mzindawo unali mʼchigwa cha Beti-Rehobu. Anthu a fuko la Adaniwo anawumanganso mzindawo ndi kumakhalamo.
Onge ngʼama ne nyalo resogi nikech negidak mochwolore gi Sidon kendo ne onge watgi moro amora kanyo. Dala maduongʼno ne nitie e holo man but Beth Rehob. Jo-Dan nochako gero dala maduongʼno kendo negidak kanyo.
29 Iwo anawutcha mzindawo Dani, kutengera dzina la kholo lawo Dani, amene anali mwana wa Israeli, ngakhale kuti mzindawo poyamba unali Laisi.
Negichako kanyo ni Dan bangʼ kwargi Dan, mane wuod Israel; kata obedo ni dala maduongʼno ne iluongo chon ni Laish.
30 Anthu a fuko la Dani anayimiritsa fano losema lija. Yonatani mwana wa Geresomu, mwana wa Mose pamodzi ndi ana ake onse anakhala ansembe a fuko la Dani mpaka pa tsiku la ukapolo wa dzikolo.
Joka Dan nochungo kido manono kanyo mondo gilam, kendo negiketo Jonathan wuod Gershom, ma wuod Musa, kod yawuote obedo jodolo ne dhood joka Dan nyaka ne ochopo kinde mane oter pinyno e twech.
31 Choncho anthu a fuko la Dani ankapembedza fano limene Mika anapanga nthawi yonse pamene nyumba ya Mulungu inali ku Silo.
Negidhi nyime ka gitiyone nyiseche manono mane Mika oseloso, to kindegi duto od Nyasaye neni Shilo.
