Judges 18
1 In those days there was no king in Israel, and the tribe of Dan sought them an inheritance to dwell in: for unto that day they had not received their lot among the other tribes.
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 So the children of Dan sent five most valiant men of their stock and family from Saraa and Esthaol, to spy out the land, and to view it diligently: and they said to them: Go, and view the land. They went on their way, and when they came to mount Ephraim, they went into the house of Michas, and rested 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 And knowing the voice of the young man the Levite, and lodging with him, they said to him: Who brought thee hither? what dost thou here? why wouldst thou come hither?
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 answered them: Michas hath done such and such things for me, and hath hired me to be his priest.
Kinuna kadakuada, “Kastoy iti inaramid ni Mica kaniak: Tinangdanannak nga agbalin a padina.”
5 Then they desired him to consult the Lord, that they might know whether their journey should be prosperous, and the thing should have effect.
Kinunada kenkuana, “Pangaasim ta dumawatka iti pammagbaga ti Dios, tapno maammoanmi no ti ipapanmi a panagdalliasat ket naballigi.
6 He answered them: Go in peace, the Lord looketh on your way, and the journey that you go.
Kinuna ti padi kadakuada, “Mapan kayo a natalna. Iturongnakayonto ni Yahweh iti dalan a rumbeng a papananyo.”
7 So the five men going on came to Lais: and they saw how the people dwelt therein without any fear, according to the custom of the Sidonians, secure and easy, having no man at all to oppose them, being very rich, and living separated, at a distance from Sidon and from all men.
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 And they returned to their brethren in Saraa and Esthaol, who asked them what they had done? to whom they answered:
Nagsublida iti tribuda idiay Zora ken Estaol. Nagsaludsod kadakuada dagiti kakabagianda, “Ania ti ipadamagyo?”
9 Arise, and let us go up to them: for we have seen the land which is exceeding rich and fruitful: neglect not, lose no time: let us go and possess it, there will be no difficulty.
Kinunada, “Umaykayo! Rautentayo ida! Nakitami ti daga ket nasayaat daytoy. Awan kadi ti aramidenyo? Saankayo nga agbuntobuntog a mangraut ken mangparmek iti daga.
10 We shall come to a people that is secure, into a spacious country, and the Lord will deliver the place to us, in which there is no want of any thing that groweth on 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 There went therefore of the kindred of Dan, to wit, from Saraa and Esthaol, six hundred men, furnished with arms for war,
Rimmuar manipud Zora ken Estaol ti Innem a gasut a lallaki iti tribu ni Dan, siiigam kadagiti armas a pakigubat.
12 And going up they lodged in Cariathiarim of Juda: which place from that time is called the camp of Dan, and is behind Cariathiarim.
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 From thence they passed into mount Ephraim. And when they were come to the house of Michas,
Immadayuda manipud sadiay a nagturong idiay katurturodan ti Efraim ket napanda iti balay ni Mica.
14 The five men, that before had been sent to view the land of Lais, said to the rest of their brethren: You know that in these houses there is an ephod, and theraphim, and a graven, and a molten god: see what you are pleased 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 And when they had turned a little aside, they went into the house of the young man the Levite, who was in the house of Michas: and they saluted him with words of peace.
Napanda ngarud idiay ket dimtengda iti balay ti agtutubo a Levita, iti balay ni Mica, ket kinablaawanda isuna.
16 And the six hundred men stood before the door, appointed with their arms.
Ita dagiti innem a gasut a Danita, nga addaan kadagit armas a pakigubat, nagtakderda iti pagserkan iti ruangan.
17 But they that were gone into the house of the young man, went about to take away the graven god, and the ephod, and the theraphim, and the molten god, and the priest stood before the door, the six hundred valiant men waiting not far off.
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 So they that were gone in took away the graven thing, the ephod, and the idols, and the molten god. And 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 And they said to him: Hold thy peace and put thy finger on thy mouth and come with us, that we may have thee for a father, and a priest. Whether is better for thee, to be a priest in the house of one man, or in a tribe and 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 When he had heard this, he agreed to their words, and took the ephod, and the idols, and the graven god, and departed with them.
Nagrag-o ti puso ti padi. Innalana ti efod, dagiti didoisen ti bumalay, ken ti kinitikitan a ladawan, ket nakikuyog kadagiti tattao.
21 And when they were going forward, and had put before them the children and the cattle and all that was valuable,
Napanda ngarud ken immadayuda. Inkabilda dagiti babassit nga ub-ubbing iti sangoananda, kasta met dagiti baka ken dagiti sanikuada.
22 And were now at a distance from the house of Michas, the men that dwelt in the houses of Michas gathering together followed them,
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 And began to shout out after them. They looked back, and said to Michas: What aileth thee? Why dost thou cry?
Pinukkawanda dagiti Danita, ket timmaliawda ket kinunada kenni Mica, “Apay a naayabankayo a sangsangkamaysa?”
24 And he answered: You have taken away my gods which I have made me and the priest, and all that I have, and do you say: What aileth thee?
Kinunana, “Tinakawyo dagiti didiosen nga inaramidko, innalayo ti padik, ken pumanpanawkayon. Ania pay ti nabati kaniak? Apay a saludsudendak, “Ania iti mangrirriribuk kenka?”
25 And the children of Dan said to him: See thou say no more to us, lest men enraged come upon thee, and thou perish with all thy house.
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 And so they went on the journey they had begun. But Michas seeing that they were stronger than he, returned 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 And the six hundred men took the priest, and the things we spoke of before, and came to Lais to a people that was quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword: and the city was burnt with fire,
Innala dagiti tattao ti Dan dagiti inaramid ni Mica, kasta met ti padina, ket
28 There being no man at all who brought them any succour, because they dwelt far from Sidon, and had no society or business with any man. And the city was in the land of Rohob: and they rebuilt it and dwelt therein.
napanda idiay Lais, kadagiti tattao a natalged ken awan pakariribukanna ket pinapatayda ida babaen iti kampilan ket pinuoranda ti siudad.
29 Calling the name of the city Dan after the name of their father, who was the son of Israel, which before was called Lais.
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 And they set up to themselves the graven idol, and Jonathan the son of Gersam the son of Moses, he and his sons were priests in the tribe of Dan, until the day of their captivity.
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 And the idol of Michas remained with them all the time that the house of God was in Silo. In those days there was no king in Israel.
Isu a dinaydayawda ti ladawan a kinitikitan a kukua ni Mica nga inaramidna, agingga nga adda ti balay ti Dios idiay Shilo.
