Judges 18

1 In those days, there was no king in Israel. And the tribe of Dan sought a possession for themselves, so that they might live in it. For even to that day, they had not received their lot among the other tribes.

Hagi ana knafina Israeli vahe'mokizmi kinia omani'nege'za Dani naga'mo'za manisaza mopagu hake'za vano hu'naze. Na'ankure Israeli vahe'mo'zama mopama erizafina zahufa zamagra mopa e'ori'naze.

2 Therefore, the sons of Dan sent five very strong men, of their stock and family, from Zorah and Eshtaol, so that they might explore the land and diligently inspect it. And they said to them, “Go, and consider the land.” And after traveling, they arrived at mount Ephraim, and they entered into the house of Micah. There they rested.

E'ina hu'negu Dani naga'mo'za 5fu'a hankavematiza ha'ma nehaza vahetamina huzmantazage'za Zora kumate'ene Estaoli kumateti'enena manisaza mopagu afure'za kenaku vu'naze. Hagi Efraemi agona kokampima nevu'za, Maika nompi umase'naze.

3 And they recognized the speech of the youth who was a Levite. And while making use of an inn with him, they said to him: “Who brought you here? What are you doing here? For what reason did you want to come here?”

Hagi zamagrama Maika nonte'ma erava'oma nehu'za, Livae nehaza ne'mofo ageru nentahi'za vugantite'za amanage hu'za antahige'naze. Iza kavreno amafina e'ne? Na'a ama kumapina emenerine? Nankna eri'zanka'a amafina me'ne?

4 And he answered them, “Micah has offered me one thing and another, and he has paid me wages, so that I may be his priest.”

Anage hazageno amanage huno ana ne'mo'a zamasami'ne, Maika'a amanage huno hunante'ne, mizasegantegahuanki pristi vaheni'a manio huno hige'na, pristi ne'a mani'nogeno mizasenenante.

5 Then they begged him to consult the Lord, so that they might be able to know whether the journey they undertook would be prosperous, and whether the matter would have success.

Hagi anante amanage hu'za hu'naze, Amama nevuna kamo'a knare hurantegahifi Ramofona antahigenka ko.

6 And he responded to them, “Go in peace. The Lord looks with favor on your path, and on the journey that you have undertaken.”

Anagema hazageno'a pristi ne'mo'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ramo'a vugota huramantegahianki tamarimpa frune viho.

7 And so the five men, going on, arrived at Laish. And they saw the people, living in it without any fear, according to the custom of the Sidonians, secure and peaceful, having hardly anyone to oppose them, and with great wealth, and living separately, far from Sidon and from all men.

Anagema hige'za ana 5fu'a vene'nemo'za ana kumara netre'za Laisi kumate vu'naze. Ana kumate'ma vu'za ome kazana, ana kumapi vahe'mo'za Saidoni vahe kna hu'za magozankura zamagesa ontahi zamarimpa frune mago zankura koro osu' mani'naze. Hagi ana vahe'mo'za mago zankura upara osu feno vahe mani'naze. Na'ankure mopazmimo'a knare'za hu'ne. Hagi Saidoni vahera afete'are mani'nazageno mago vahe'mo'e huno zamagri tavaontera omani'naze.

8 And they returned to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, who questioned them as to what they had done. And they responded:

Hagi ana 5fu'a vahe'mo'zama nagazmirega Zora kumate'ene Estaoli kumate'enema azageno'a, zamafuhemo'za amanage hu'naze. Na'a ome ketma erifore hu'nazafi huama hiho?

9 “Rise up. Let us ascend to them. For we have seen that the land is very wealthy and fruitful. Do not delay; do not refrain. Let us go out and possess it. There will be no difficulty.

Hu'za zamantahigazageno, ana vahe'mo'za anage hu'naze, otinketa vuta ome zamaheta mopazmia hanaramneno! Na'ankure mopama ke'nonana knare'zantfa hu'nea mopa me'ne. Na'anku aveganentaze? Ana mopama omerizankura korora huta rege'regera osiho.

10 We shall enter to those who dwell securely, in a very wide region, and the Lord will deliver the place to us, a place in which there is no lack of anything that grows upon the earth.”

Hagi ana kumate'ma vu'nanana ana mopafi vahe'mo'za mago'zankura zamagesa ontahi zamarimpa fru hu'za mani'naze. Na'ankure ana mopa ra huno mikazamo'a avite'nea mopa Anumzamo'a ko tami'ne.

11 And so, those of the kindred of Dan set out, that is, six hundred men from Zorah and Eshtaol, girded with the weapons of warfare.

Hagi anagema hazageno'a Dani nagara 600'a venenemo'za Zora kumateti'ene Estaoli kumatetira ha'zana retro hu'za hatera vu'naze.

12 And going up, they stayed at Kiriath-jearim of Judah. And so the place, from that time, received the name the Camp of Dan, and it is behind the back of Kiriath-jearim.

Hagi Kiriat-jearimie nehaza kumate zage fre kaziga Juda mopafi seli nona ome ki'za mani'naze. Hagi e'ina kumakura menina Mahane-Danie hu'za agia nehaze.

13 From there, they crossed over to mount Ephraim. And when they had arrived at the house of Micah,

Hagi anantetira atre'za Efraemi agona kokampi e'za, Maika nonte ehanati'naze.

14 the five men, who before had been sent to consider the land of Laish, said to the rest of their brothers: “You know that in these houses there is an ephod and theraphim, and a molten idol and a graven image. Consider what it may please you to do.”

Hagi 5fu'a vene'nema Laisi mopama afure'za ke'naza vene'nemo'za ruga'a naga'mokizmia amanage hu'za zamasami'naze. Pristi vahe'mo'zama zamimizare'ma nehaza kukena efotigi, nompima nentaza havi anumzantaminki, antre'zama tro'ma hu'naza amema'agi, aenima kre'za tro'ma hu'naza amema'ama ama nontamimpima me'neana ontahi'nazo. E'ina hu'negu menina na'a hugahazafi tamagesa antahiho?

15 And when they had turned aside a little, they entered the house of the Levite youth, who was in the house of Micah. And they greeted him with peaceful words.

Anage nehu'za ana 5fu'a vene'nemo'za kana atre'za, Maika nompima ana Livaie ne'ma nemanifinka ufre'za musenkea ana nera ome hunte'za, hufrufra kea hunte'naze.

16 Now the six hundred men, who were all armed, were standing before the door.

Hagi Dani nagapinti ana 600'a sondia vahe'mo'za maka ha'zazmia eri'za ana kumamofo kafante oti'za mani'ne'za,

17 But those who had entered the house of the youth strove to take away the graven image, and the ephod, and the theraphim, and the molten idol. But the priest was standing in front of the door, with the six hundred very strong men waiting not far away.

ana pristi ne'ene nanekea nehazageno, ana 5fu'a venenemo'za Maika naga'mo'zama mono'ma nehazafinka vu'za pristi vahe'mo'zama zamimizare'ma nehaza kukena efotigi, nompima nentaza havi anumzantaminki, antre'zama tro'ma hu'naza amema'agi, aenima kre'za tro'ma hu'naza amema'anena omeri'za atirami'naze. Ana nehazage'za pristi ne'ene 600'a sondia vahe'mo'za ha'zana eri'ne'za kuma kafante otine'za ke'naze.

18 And so, those who had entered took away the graven image, the ephod, and the theraphim, and the molten idol. And the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”

Hagi ana venenemo'zama Maika nompima umreri'zama pristi vahe'mo'zama zamimizare'ma nehaza kukena efotigi, nompima nentaza havi anumzantaminki, antre'zama tro'ma hu'naza amema'agi, aenima kre'za tro'ma hu'naza amema'anena eri'za atiramizageno'a, ana pristi ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, na'a nehaze? Huno zamantahigege'za,

19 And they responded to him: “Be silent and place your finger over your mouth. And come with us, so that we may have you as a father as well as a priest. For which is better for you: to be a priest in the house of one man, or in one tribe and family in Israel?”

amanage hu'naze. Taganenka kea osu tavaririnka enka tagri nerafaza nehunka, pristi vaheti emanio. Magoke naga'mofo pristima mani zamo knarera hu'nefi, maka Israeli vahepima mago naga nofimofo pristima mani'zamo knarera hu'noe? Hu'za hu'naze.

20 And when he had heard this, he agreed to their words. And he took the ephod, and the idols, and the graven image, and he set out with them.

Anagema hazageno'a pristi ne'mo'a muse nehuno ana pristi kukenane, havi anumzane, antre'za trohunte amema'anena erino ana vahe'tamine vu'ne.

21 And while traveling, they had also sent the children, and the cattle, and all that was valuable to go ahead of them.

Hagi ana vahe'mo'za anantetira antre'za mofavrezmine afuzagazmine zamazerigota hu'za fenozazminena eri'za vu'naze.

22 And when they were far from the house of Micah, the men who were living in the houses of Micah, crying out together, followed them.

Hagi Maika noma agatere'za afete'ma vutazageno'a, Maika no tavaonte'ma noma ki'naza vahe'mo'za emeritru hu'za Dani nagara zamavariri'naze.

23 And they began to shout behind their backs. And when they had looked back, they said to Micah: “What do you want? Why are you crying out?”

Hagi ana vahe'mo'za rankege hu'za vazageno Dani naga'mo'za rukrahe hu'za amanage hu'za Maikankura hu'naze, Nagafare vahera zamavaretru huntenka, rankegera hunka neane? Hu'za antahigazageno,

24 And he responded: “You have taken away my gods, which I made for myself, and the priest, and all that I have. And do you say, ‘What is it that you want?’”

Maika'a amange huno kenona hu'ne, anumzantamima tro'ma hunte'noa anumzantamini'a maka eri vaganereta pristi ne'nianena avreta neaze. Hagi mago zani'a otreta eri hana huta neazanki, nahigeta e'inahura nehaze?

25 And the sons of Dan said to him, “Take care that you no longer speak to us, otherwise men with a mind for violence may overwhelm you, and you yourself would perish with all your house.”

Hige'za Dani naga'mo'za amanage hu'naze, Kva hunenka e'inagea huo! Amama neompina ame arimpama ahe vahera neankino, zamarimpama ahenige'za nagaka'ane kagri'enena tamahe frigahaze.

26 And so, they continued on the journey that they had begun. But Micah, seeing that they were stronger than he was, returned to his house.

Anage nehu'za Dani naga'mo'za vu'naze. Hagi Maika'ma keama Dani naga'mo'za rama'a vahe'ma vazageno ha'ma huzamantega'ma nosuno'a ete rukrahe huno noma'arege vu'ne.

27 Now the six hundred men took the priest, and the things we stated above, and they went to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and they struck them down with the edge of the sword. And they burned the city with fire.

Hagi Maikama tro'ma hunte'nea kaza osu anumzatamine, Dani naga'mo'za e'neriza pristi ne'anena nevre'za eza mago zanku'ma zamagesa ontahi fruma hu'za mani'naza vahe kumapi Laisi e'naze. Hagi eza ana kumapi vahera eme zamahehna nehu'za, kumazimia teve taginte'naze.

28 For no one at all sent reinforcements, because they lived far away from Sidon, and they had no association or business with any man. Now the city was situated in the region of Rehob. And building it up again, they lived in it,

Hagi Laisi kumate vahera mago'mo'e huno eme zamaza osu'ne. Na'ankure Saidoni vahera afete manizageno, Laisi vahe'mo'za mago vahe'enena tragote'za omani'naze. Ana zana Beth-Rehob kuma tava'onte me'nea agupofi fore hu'ne.

29 calling the name of the city Dan, according to the name of their father, who had been born of Israel, though before it was called Laish.

Hagi Dani naga'mo'za ana agupofi ete kumara trohuza agima anteminazana Dani kumare hu'za Israeli nemofo nezmageho agire asamre'naze. Hagi ana kumakura kora Laisie hu'za agia nehazane.

30 And they established for themselves the graven image. And Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, with his sons, were priests in the tribe of Dan, even until the day of their captivity.

Hagi Dani naga'mo'za ana kaza osu havi anumzana azeri retrurente'za, Gesomu nemofo Mosese negeho Jonatani azeri otizageno pristi ne'zimia mani'ne. Hagi Dani nagapina Jonatanimpinti'ma fore'ma haza vahe'mo'za pristia maniza neazageno, ha' vahe'mo'za eme zamahe'za zamavare'za kina ome huzamante'naze.

31 And the idol of Micah remained with them during the entire time that the house of God was in Shiloh. In those days, there was no king in Israel.

Hagi Anumzamofo seli mono nomo'ma Sailoma me'nea knafina, Dani naga'mo'za Maika'ma tro hunte'nea kaza osu havi anumzante monora hunte'naze.
