Thutan Vaihom Ho 18

1 Hiche phatlai hin Israelten leng aneipon ahi. Chuleh Dan phunghin achenthei nadiu mun ana hollin ahi. Ajeh chu Israel phungho chenna ding mun ana kihop laiyuva amaho chu ana kipehna munna chu chenglut loulai ahiuve.

In those dayes there was no King in Israel, and at the same time the tribe of Dan sought them an inheritance to dwell in: for vnto that time all their inheritance had not fallen vnto them among the tribes of Israel.

2 Hijeh chun Dan mite chun amaho phung lah’a kon in amaho chenlut thei nading mun vetohle dingin Zorah leh Eshtaol khopi hoa kon in galhang mihat cheh nga analhengdoh un ahi. Hiche galhat hohi Ephraim thinglhang gam ahung lhun u’hin Micah in'ah ahung lhung’un ajan geh tauvin ahi.

Therefore the children of Dan sent of their familie, fiue men out of their coastes, euen men expert in warre, out of Zorah and Eshtaol, to viewe the lande and search it out, and saide vnto them, Goe, and search out the lande. Then they came to mount Ephraim to the house of Michah and lodged there.

3 Micah in na aum sung’u chun amahon Levi mipachu apaothodan akonchun ahedoh jengun hijeh chun acheuvin amachu agadong tauvin ahi, “Kon hilai mun’ahi nana puilut na hichea hi epi nabol ham? Chuleh ipi dinga hichea hi naum ham?” atin anadong un ahi.

When they were in the house of Michah, they knewe the voyce of the yong man the Leuite: and being turned in thither, they saide vnto him, Who brought thee hither? or what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou to doe here?

4 Aman Micah toh akinoptona chuleh Micah in athempua apansah na thuchu aseipeh tan ahi.

And he answered them, Thus and thus dealeth Michah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his Priest.

5 Hichun amahon aseijun, “Kakholjin naohi lolhinna kaneidiu hinam? Ahiloule lolhinna kanei loudiu ham? Pathen kom’ah neidoh peh un,” atiuve.

Againe they said vnto him, Aske counsell nowe of God, that we may knowe whether the way which we goe, shalbe prosperous.

6 Thempupa chun adonbut in ajah uvah, “Lungmongin chetauvin, Pathen’in nakholjin naova hi naching jing naove,” ati.

And the Priest sayde vnto them, Goe in peace: for the Lord guideth your way which ye goe.

7 Hitichun mi nga hochu Laish khopi langa acheuvin ahileh hichea mite chu hinkho nomtah amangun Sidon mite bangin lungmong tah le lung gimlou hellin achengui ti amudoh taovin ahi. Hiche mipi hochu agam’u phat jeh'in ahaothei lheh jeng’un ahi. Chuleh amaho chu Sidon’a konna gamlatah in achengun avel uvah pankhom pithei jong aneipouvin ahi.

Then the fiue men departed and came to Laish, and sawe the people that were therein, which dwelt carelesse, after the maner of the Zidonians, quiet and sure, because no man made any trouble in the lande, or vsurped any dominion: also they were farre from the Zidonians, and had no businesse with other men.

8 Amaho chu Zorah leh Eshtaol a akile phat uchun asopi houvin anadongun, “Nathil muhou itobang nam?” atin ana dong uve.

So they came againe vnto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren saide vnto them, What haue ye done?

9 Amahon adonbutnun ajah uvah, “Hungun amaho khu gakisatpiu hite keihon agamchu kagamu uvin, agam u chu aphalheh jenge. Ipi na’nga nahlai diuham? Gache a amun galoding khu lungsa-ihna neihih hel’un,” ati taove.

And they answered, Arise, that we may goe vp against them: for we haue seene the lande, and surely it is very good, and doe ye sit stil? be not slouthfull to goe and enter to possesse the lande:

10 Nangho nache uva amun nagalhun tengu leh amipite khu imacha lungkhamna aneipouve ti namudoh diu ahi. Pathen’in gamlen tahle gamphatah imacha avat umlouhel munkhu eipeh u ahi!” atiuve.

(If ye will goe, ye shall come vnto a carelesse people, and the countrey is large) for God hath giuen it into your hande. It is a place which doeth lacke nothing that is in the worlde.

11 Hijeh chun Dan phunga kon in galsatna manchah kichoicheh mi jagup Zorah leh Eshtaol’a kon in ahung kipat doh un,

Then there departed thence of the familie of the Danites, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, sixe hundreth men appointed with instruments of warre.

12 Judah gam Kiriath-jearim lhumlam munkhat nah panmun akisem’un ahi. Hiche munhi Mahaneh-dan ti in tuni changei jin amin akisah tan ahi.

And they went vp, and pitched in Kiriath-iearim in Iudah: wherefore they called that place, Mahaneh-Dan vnto this day: and it is behinde Kiriath-iearim.

13 Hichea konchun Ephraim thinglhang gamma Micah in chu agalhung taovin ahi.

And they went thence vnto mount Ephraim, and came to the house of Michah.

14 Mi nga Laish vella gam gavetoh a cheho chun aloidang ho chu aseipeh un, “Hiche in hoa hin thempu ompho leh insung mite doi holeh milim semthu chuleh thing’a kisema dangka a kitom doijong umma ahi, hicheho hi iloding natiuvem?” atiuve.

Then answered the fiue men, that went to spie out the countrey of Laish, and said vnto their brethren, Knowe ye not, that there is in these houses an Ephod, and Teraphim, and a grauen and a molten image? Nowe therefore consider what ye haue to doe.

15 Hijeh chun mi nga hochu lampia kon’in akiheidoh un Micah insunga chun alut’un Levi golhang pan khohsahna neitah in analamton ahi.

And they turned thitherward and came to the house of the yong man the Leuite, euen vnto the house of Michah, and saluted him peaceably.

16 Daan phunga konna galmanchah kichoi mi jagup hochu kelkot komma chun dding jingun ahi.

And the six hundreth men appointed with their weapons of warre, which were of the children of Dan, stoode by the entring of the gate.

17 Gamvetoh a anache mi nga hochu doihouna munna chun alut’un milim semthu, thempu ompho le insung doiholeh dangka a kitom doichu akilah taove. Hiche sung chun thempupa chu kelkot komma chun galmanchah choi mi jagup chutoh ading khom’un ahi.

Then the fiue men that went to spie out the land, went in thither, and tooke the grauen image and the Ephod, and the Teraphim, and the molten image: and the Priest stoode in the entring of the gate with the sixe hundreth men, that were appointed with weapons of warre,

18 Thempupa chun Micah doi koina maicham in na konna thil thengho ahinlah doh uchu amuphatnin, “Ipi nabollu hitam?” ahin tin ahi.

And the other went into Michahs house and fet the grauen image, the Ephod, and the Teraphim, and the molten image. Then saide the Priest vnto them, What doe ye?

19 Amahon “Thipbeh in keiho ding in mipa leh thempun hungpangtan, mikhatseh insunga thempu nahi sanga Israel phungkhat thempu nahiding chu phajo louham?” atiuve.

And they answered him, Holde thy peace: lay thine hande vpon thy mouth, and come with vs to be our father and Priest. Whether is it better that thou shouldest be a Priest vnto ye house of one man, or that thou shouldest be a Priest vnto a tribe and to a familie in Israel?

20 Hichun golhang thempupa chu amahotoh kilhon dingchu atha anomlheh jengin ahi. Hitichun aman thempu ompho ahin, insung doiho le milim doi kisem hochu achoijin alah uvah apangtan ahi.

And the Priestes heart was glad, and hee tooke the Ephod and the Teraphim, and the grauen image, and went among the people.

21 Amaho ahung kileheijun akholjin’u ajomkit tauvin ahi, hitichun achapangteu, agancha houleh athilkeu hou amasat sah un ahi.

And they turned and departed, and put the children, and the cattell, and the substance before them.

22 Dan phungmiho chu Micah inmunna kon’a gamlatah ageiphat’un Micah in aheng akomho chu ahin puijin ahindel tauvin ahi.

When they were farre off from the house of Michah, the men that were in the houses neere to Michahs house, gathered together, and pursued after the children of Dan,

23 Amahon ahinphah phat’un, hiti hin ahin hoh’un ahileh, Dan mite chu ahung kileheijun Micah kom’ah chun hitihin ahinseijun ahi, “Ipithu hitam? Ipi dinga amaho pihi nahinpuija neihin delluham”? atiuve.

And cryed vnto the children of Dan: who turned their faces, and said vnto Michah, What ayleth thee, that thou makest an outcrie?

24 Micah in adonbutnin, “Ipi nabolnao ham? Ipithu hitam? Ken kakisem kapathen jouse nanghon neilah peh un, kathempupa kisan neipuidoh peh tauvin! Tuahi neichom theng hellu hitalou ham?” ahin ti.

And hee saide, Yee haue taken away my gods, which I made, and the Priest, and go your wayes: and what haue I more? howe then say ye vnto me, what ayleth thee?

25 Dan miho chun hiti hin ahindonbut’un, “Kichihtheijin mohpao pao hih’in ajole hiche mitehi hung lunghang’un tin nangle nainsung mite chu nathalo diu ahi” atiuve.

And the children of Dan sayde vnto him, Let not thy voyce be heard among vs, least angrie fellowes runne vpon thee, and thou lose thy life with the liues of thine housholde.

26 Hitichun Dan mitechu akijot kit taove. Micah chun amaho chu kisatpi ding angapchat loujeh in ahung kileheijin ain lamma achetai.

So the children of Dan went their wayes: and when Michah saw that they were too strong for him, hee turned, and went backe vnto his house.

27 Hichejou chun Dan mite chun Micah doi holeh athempupa chutoh Laish khopi chu agalhung taove. Amahon achemjam’un asatchap jengun akhopi chu meiyin ahallha taove.

And they tooke the things which Michah had made, and the Priest which he had, and came vnto Laish, vnto a quiet people and without mistrust, and smote them with the edge of the sworde, and burnt the citie with fire:

28 Koimacha amaho huhdoh ding chu anaum tapon ahi, ajeh chu amaho Sidon’a konna gamlatah a chenga ahiuvin koima kitho khompi ding aneipouvin ahi. Hiche thilsoh hi Beth-rehob phaicham kom ahi. Dan phung mite chun khopi chu akisem phat’un hilai munna chun ching taove.

And there was none to helpe, because Laish was farre from Zidon, and they had no businesse with other men: also it was in the valley that lyeth by Beth-rehob. After, they built the citie, and dwelt therein,

29 Amahon hiche khopi chu apu apau Israel chapa min alosah un Dan asah taove, ahin ati abulla chu Laish ana kitia ahi.

And called the name of the citie Dan, after the name of Dan their father which was borne vnto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the beginning.

30 Hijouchun adoilim chu atungdoh un Mose cha Gershom chapa Jonathan chu thempun apansah taove. Hiche Dan insung mitehi sohchan’na a alut tokah seuhin, amahohi hiche mite thempun anapang peh’un ahi.

Then the children of Dan set them vp the grauen image: and Ionathan the sonne of Gershom, the sonne of Manasseh and his sonnes were the Priestes in the tribe of the Danites vntil the day of the captiuitie of the lande.

31 Hitichun Pathen ponbuh chu Shiloh-a aumlai sechun Micah doi semchu Dan miten ana houjing’un ahi.

So they set them vp the grauen image, which Michah had made, all the while the house of God was in Shiloh.
