Judges 18
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.
Kadagidiay nga al-aldaw awan ti ari ti Israel. Ti tribu dagiti kaputotan ti Dan ket agbirbirok iti pagnaedanda, gapu ta agingga iti dayta nga aldaw ket awan pay ti naawatda nga aniaman a tawid manipud iti tribu ti Israel.
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.
Nangibaon dagiti tattao ti Dan iti lima a lallaki manipud iti amin a pakabuklan ti tribuda, lallaki a nalalaing a makigubat manipud Zora ken Eztaol, tapno magnada a mangwanawan iti daga ken tapno sukimatenda daytoy. Kinunada kadakuada, “Mapankayo ken sukimatenyo ti daga.” Nakadanunda iti katurturudan a pagilian iti Efraim, iti balay ni Mica, ket nagtalinaedda iti nagpatnag sadiay.
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?”
Idi asidegdan iti balay ni Mica, nalasinda ti panagsao ti agtutubo a Levita. Isu a nagsardengda ken sinaludsodda isuna, “Siasino iti nangiyeg kenka ditoy? Ania iti ar-aramidem iti daytoy a lugar? Apay nga addaka ditoy?”
4 He said to them, “Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his priest.”
Kinuna kadakuada, “Kastoy iti inaramid ni Mica kaniak: Tinangdanannak nga agbalin a padina.”
5 They said to him, “Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.”
Kinunada kenkuana, “Pangaasim ta dumawatka iti pammagbaga ti Dios, tapno maammoanmi no ti ipapanmi a panagdalliasat ket naballigi.
6 The priest said to them, “Go in peace. Your way in which you go is before the LORD.”
Kinuna ti padi kadakuada, “Mapan kayo a natalna. Iturongnakayonto ni Yahweh iti dalan a rumbeng a papananyo.”
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.
Ket pimmanaw dagiti lima a lallaki ket napanda iti Laish, ket nakitada dagiti tattao nga adda sadiay a natalged nga agbibiag—iti isu met laeng a wagas, agbibiag dagiti Sidonio iti natalna ken natalged. Awan ti siasinoman a nangsakop kadakuada iti daga, wenno nangrirriribuk kadakuada iti aniaman a wagas. Agnanaedda iti adayu manipud kadagiti Sidonio, ken awan iti pakainaiganda iti uray siasinoman.
8 They came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol; and their brothers asked them, “What do you say?”
Nagsublida iti tribuda idiay Zora ken Estaol. Nagsaludsod kadakuada dagiti kakabagianda, “Ania ti ipadamagyo?”
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? Do not be slothful to go and to enter in to possess the land.
Kinunada, “Umaykayo! Rautentayo ida! Nakitami ti daga ket nasayaat daytoy. Awan kadi ti aramidenyo? Saankayo nga agbuntobuntog a mangraut ken mangparmek iti daga.
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 in the earth.”
Inton mapankayo, mapankayonto kadagiti tattao a ti pagarupda ket natalgedda, ken nalawa ti daga! Inted ti Dios daytoy kadakayo— ti lugar nga awan pagkuranganna iti aniaman a banag iti daga.”
11 The family of the Danites set out from Zorah and Eshtaol with six hundred men armed with weapons of war.
Rimmuar manipud Zora ken Estaol ti Innem a gasut a lallaki iti tribu ni Dan, siiigam kadagiti armas a pakigubat.
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.
Simmang-atda ket nagkampoda idiay Kiriat Jearim, idiay Juda. Daytoy iti makagapu a pinannaganan dagiti tattao dayta a lugar iti Mahane Dan agingga iti daytoy nga aldaw; laud daytoy ti Kiriat Jearim.
13 They passed from there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
Immadayuda manipud sadiay a nagturong idiay katurturodan ti Efraim ket napanda iti balay ni Mica.
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.”
Ket kinuna dagiti lima a lallaki a napan nangwanawan iti pagilian ti Lais kadagiti kakabagianda, “Ammoyo kadi nga iti daytoy a babbalay ket adda iti efod, didiosen iti bumalay, ladawan a kinitikitan, ken maysa a ladawan a nasukog a landok? Ikeddengyo itan no ania iti aramidenyo.”
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.
Napanda ngarud idiay ket dimtengda iti balay ti agtutubo a Levita, iti balay ni Mica, ket kinablaawanda isuna.
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.
Ita dagiti innem a gasut a Danita, nga addaan kadagit armas a pakigubat, nagtakderda iti pagserkan iti ruangan.
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.
Napan idiay dagiti lima a lallaki a napan nangwanawan iti daga ket innalada ti kinitikitan a ladawan, ti efod, ken dagiti didiosen ti bumalay, ken ti ladawan a landok, bayat a nakatakder ti padi iti paglukatan ti ruangan a kaduana dagiti innem a gasut a lallaki nga addaan kadagiti armas a pakigubat.
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?”
Idi napan dagitoy iti balay ni Mica ket innalada ti kinitikitan a ladawan, ti efod, dagiti didiosen ti bumalay, ken ti ladawan a nasukog a landok, kinuna ti padi kadakuada, “Ania ti ar-aramidenyo?”
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?”
Kinunada kenkuana, “Agulimekka! Apputem ti ngiwatmo ket sumurotka kadakami, ket agbalinka nga ama ken padi kadakami. Nasaysayaat kadi kenka nga agbalin a padi iti balay ti maysa a tao, wenno agbalin a padi ti maysa a tribu ken maysa a puli ti Israel?”
20 The priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, the teraphim, and the engraved image, and went with the people.
Nagrag-o ti puso ti padi. Innalana ti efod, dagiti didoisen ti bumalay, ken ti kinitikitan a ladawan, ket nakikuyog kadagiti tattao.
21 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones, the livestock, and the goods before them.
Napanda ngarud ken immadayuda. Inkabilda dagiti babassit nga ub-ubbing iti sangoananda, kasta met dagiti baka ken dagiti sanikuada.
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.
Idi nakaadayudan bassit manipud iti balay ni Mica, dagiti lallaki nga adda iti babbalay iti asideg iti balay ni Mica ket naayaban a sangsangkamaysa, ket nakamatanda dagiti Danitas.
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?”
Pinukkawanda dagiti Danita, ket timmaliawda ket kinunada kenni Mica, “Apay a naayabankayo a sangsangkamaysa?”
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?’”
Kinunana, “Tinakawyo dagiti didiosen nga inaramidko, innalayo ti padik, ken pumanpanawkayon. Ania pay ti nabati kaniak? Apay a saludsudendak, “Ania iti mangrirriribuk kenka?”
25 The children of Dan said to him, “Do not let your voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall on you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household.”
Kinuna dagiti tattao ti Dan kenkuana, “Saanmo koma impalubos a mangngegmi iti aniaman a banag nga isaom, ta no saan rautendaka dagiti makaung-unget unay a lallaki, sika ken ti pamiliam ket mapapatayto.
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.
Ket napanen dagiti tattao ti Dan iti dalanda. Idi nakita ni Mica a napipigsada unay para kenkuana, nagsubli isuna ket napan iti balayna.
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.
Innala dagiti tattao ti Dan dagiti inaramid ni Mica, kasta met ti padina, ket
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.
napanda idiay Lais, kadagiti tattao a natalged ken awan pakariribukanna ket pinapatayda ida babaen iti kampilan ket pinuoranda ti siudad.
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.
Awan ti mangispal kadakuada gapu ta adayu daytoy manipud iti Sidon, ket saanda a makikadkadua iti siasinoman. Adda daytoy iti tanap iti asideg ti Bet-Rehob. Binangon manen dagiti Danitas ti siudad ket nagnaedda sadiay. Pinanagananda iti Dan ti siudad, ti nagan ni Dan a kapuonanda, a maysa kadagiti putot a lalaki ni Israel. Ngem ti sigud a nagan ti siudad ket Lais.
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.
Insaad dagiti tattao ti Dan ti kinitikitan a ladawan para kadakuada, ket ni Jonatan a putot a lalaki ni Gerson a putot a lalaki ni Moises, isuna ken dagiti putotna a lallaki, ket papadi para iti tribu dagiti Danita agingga iti aldaw ti pannakasakup ti daga.
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.
Isu a dinaydayawda ti ladawan a kinitikitan a kukua ni Mica nga inaramidna, agingga nga adda ti balay ti Dios idiay Shilo.
