Judges 18
1 In those days there was no king in Israel, and in those days the Danites were looking for a heritage for themselves, to be their living-place; for up to that time no distribution of land had been made to them among the tribes of Israel.
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.
2 So the children of Dan sent five men from among their number, strong men, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, to take a look at the land and make a search through it; and they said to them, Go and make a search through the land; and they came to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, where they made a stop for the night.
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.
3 When they were near the house of Micah, hearing a voice which was not strange to them, that of the young Levite, they went out of their road to his place, and said to him, How did you come here? and what are you doing in this place? and why are you here?
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: ?”
4 And he said to them, This is what Micah did for me, and he gave me payment and I became his priest.
E bu adole i, “Na da Maiga ea hawa: hamonana. Na da ea gobele salasu hawa: hamonanebeba: le, e da nama bidi iaha.”
5 Then they said, Do get directions from God for us, to see if the journey on which we are going will have a good outcome.
Ilia da ema bu adole i, amane, “Di Godema adole ba: ma. Ninia da logoga ahoasea, hahawane ba: ma: bela: ?”
6 And the priest said to them, Go in peace: your way is guided by the Lord.
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.”
7 Then the five men went on their way and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, living without thought of danger, like the Zidonians, quiet and safe; for they had everything on earth for their needs, and they were far from the Zidonians and had no business with Aram.
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.
8 So they came back to their brothers in Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brothers said to them, What news have you?
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.
9 And they said, Up! and let us go against Laish; for we have seen the land, and it is very good: why are you doing nothing? Do not be slow to go in and take the land for your heritage.
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.
10 When you come there you will come to a people living without thought of danger; and the land is wide, and God has given it into your hands: a place where there is everything on earth for man's needs.
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.”
11 So six hundred men of the Danites from Zorah and Eshtaol went out armed with instruments of war.
Amaiba: le, Da: ne fi dunu 600 da gegema: ne momagele, Soula amola Esedoule fisili asi.
12 And they went up and put up their tents in Kiriath-jearim in Judah: so that place is named Mahaneh-dan to this day. It is to the west of Kiriath-jearim.
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.
13 From there they went on to the hill-country of Ephraim and came to the house of Micah.
Amo sogebi fisili asili, ilia da Maiga ea diasu Ifala: ime agolo soge ganodini gala, amoga doaga: i.
14 Then the five men who had gone to make a search through the country of Laish, said to their brothers, Have you knowledge that in these houses there is an ephod and family gods and a pictured image and a metal image? So now you see what to do.
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: ?”
15 And turning from their road they came to the house of the young Levite, the house of Micah, and said to him, Is it well with you?
Amaiba: le, ilia da Lifai ayeligi ea esalebe Maiga diasu ganodini asili, Lifai ea hou ema adole ba: i.
16 And the six hundred armed men of the Danites took their places by the doorway.
Amoha, Da: ne dadi gagui 600, gegemusa: momagei dagoi, da diasu gagoi ga: suga lelebe ba: i.
17 Then the five men who had gone to make a search through the land, went in and took the pictured image and the ephod and the family gods and the metal image; and the priest was by the doorway with the six hundred armed men.
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.
18 And when they went into Micah's house and took out the pictured image and the ephod and the family gods and the metal image, the priest said to them, What are you doing?
Dunu da Maiga diasuga, sema liligi wamolamusa: ahoanoba, gobele salasu dunu da ilima amane adole ba: i, “Dilia da adi hamosala: ?”
19 And they said to him, Be quiet; say nothing, and come with us and be our father and priest; is it better for you to be priest to one man's house or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?
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.”
20 Then the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod and the family gods and the pictured image and went with the people.
Amo hou, gobele salasu dunu da hahawane ba: i. Amaiba: le, e da sema liligi huluane gaguli, ili sigi asi.
21 So they went on their way again, putting the little ones and the oxen and the goods in front of them.
Ilia sinidigili, logoga asi. Ilia mano, bulamagau amola liligi da ili bisili asi.
22 When they had gone some way from the house of Micah, the men from the houses near Micah's house came together and overtook the children of Dan,
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,
23 Crying out to them. And the Danites, turning round, said to Micah, What is your trouble, that you have taken up arms?
ilima wele sia: i dagoi. Da: ne dunu da sinidigili, Maiga ema amane adole ba: i, “Adi hou? Dunu bagade da abuli misibala: ?”
24 And he said, You have taken my gods which I made, and my priest, and have gone away; what is there for me now? Why then do you say to me, What is your trouble?
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.”
25 And the children of Dan said to him, Say no more, or men of bitter spirit may make an attack on you, causing loss of your life and the lives of your people.
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.”
26 Then the children of Dan went on their way; and when Micah saw that they were stronger than he, he went back to his house.
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.
27 And they took that which Micah had made, and his priest, and came to Laish, to a people living quietly and without thought of danger, and they put them to the sword without mercy, burning down their town.
28 And they had no saviour, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with Aram; and it was in the valley which is the property of Beth-rehob. And building up the town again they took it for their living-place.
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.
29 And they gave the town the name of Dan, after Dan their father, who was the son of Israel: though the town had been named Laish at first.
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.
30 (And the children of Dan put up the pictured image for themselves; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, and his sons were priests for the tribe of the Danites till the day when the ark was taken prisoner.)
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.
31 And they put up for themselves the image which Micah had made, and it was there all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
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.
