Judges 18
1 At that time Israel didn't have a king. The tribe of Dan was looking for territory where they could live, because up until then they hadn't gained possession of the land granted 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 So the Danites chose from among them five leading men from Zorah and Eshtaol to scout out the land and explore it. “Go and explore the land,” they told them. When the men came to the hill country of Ephraim, they arrived at Micah's house where they spent the night.
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 While they were there, they recognized the young Levite's accent, so they went to him and asked him, “So who brought you here, and what are you doing in this place? Why are you 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 “Micah arranged things for me, and he hired me as his priest,” he told them.
Kinuna kadakuada, “Kastoy iti inaramid ni Mica kaniak: Tinangdanannak nga agbalin a padina.”
5 “Please ask the Lord for us so we can find out if our journey will be successful,” they asked him.
Kinunada kenkuana, “Pangaasim ta dumawatka iti pammagbaga ti Dios, tapno maammoanmi no ti ipapanmi a panagdalliasat ket naballigi.
6 “Go in peace,” the priest replied. “The journey you are taking is being observed by the Lord.”
Kinuna ti padi kadakuada, “Mapan kayo a natalna. Iturongnakayonto ni Yahweh iti dalan a rumbeng a papananyo.”
7 The five men left and went to the town of Laish. They observed that the people there lived in safety, and followed the customs of the Sidonians. The people were unsuspecting and confident of their security, at home in a productive land. They didn't have a strong ruler, they lived a long way from the Sidonians, and had no other allies to help them.
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 The men returned to Zorah and Eshtaol, their relatives asked them, “What did you…?”
Nagsublida iti tribuda idiay Zora ken Estaol. Nagsaludsod kadakuada dagiti kakabagianda, “Ania ti ipadamagyo?”
9 “Come on, let's go and attack them!” the men interrupted. “We've surveyed the land, and it's excellent! Aren't you going to do something? Don't put off going there and occupying 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 get there you'll find the people are unsuspecting and the land is extensive. God has given you a place where there's no shortage of anything!”
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 So six hundred Danite armed men left Zorah and Eshtaol, ready to attack.
Rimmuar manipud Zora ken Estaol ti Innem a gasut a lallaki iti tribu ni Dan, siiigam kadagiti armas a pakigubat.
12 En route they camped at Kiriath-jearim in Judah. That's why the place west of Kiriath-jearim is called the Camp of Dan to this very day.
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 Then they left from there and went into the hill country of Ephraim and came to Micah's house.
Immadayuda manipud sadiay a nagturong idiay katurturodan ti Efraim ket napanda iti balay ni Mica.
14 Then the five men who had gone to scout out the land of Laish told the other tribesmen, “Do you realize that here in these houses there's an ephod, household gods, and a carved idol, an image made with molten silver? So you know what you should 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 The five men left the road and went to where the young Levite was living in Micah's home to ask how he was.
Napanda ngarud idiay ket dimtengda iti balay ti agtutubo a Levita, iti balay ni Mica, ket kinablaawanda isuna.
16 The six hundred Danite armed men stood at the entrance by the gate.
Ita dagiti innem a gasut a Danita, nga addaan kadagit armas a pakigubat, nagtakderda iti pagserkan iti ruangan.
17 The five men went inside and took the carved idol, the ephod, the household idols, and the image made with molten silver. The priest was standing by the gate with the six hundred armed men.
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 the priest saw them taking all the religious objects from Micah's home, he asked 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 “Be quiet! Don't say anything! Come with us, and you can be our ‘father’ and priest. Wouldn't it be better for you if instead of being a priest for just one man's household that you were the priest of an Israelite tribe and family?”
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 This seemed like a good idea to the priest and he left with them. Carrying the ephod, the household idols, and the image made with molten silver, he marched with the people all around him.
Nagrag-o ti puso ti padi. Innalana ti efod, dagiti didoisen ti bumalay, ken ti kinitikitan a ladawan, ket nakikuyog kadagiti tattao.
21 They continued their journey, putting their children, livestock, and possessions ahead of them.
Napanda ngarud ken immadayuda. Inkabilda dagiti babassit nga ub-ubbing iti sangoananda, kasta met dagiti baka ken dagiti sanikuada.
22 The Danites were already quite a way from Micah's home when men from Micah's village caught up with 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 shouting at them. The Danites turned around to face them and asked Micah, “What's the matter with you? Why call out these men to come after us?”
Pinukkawanda dagiti Danita, ket timmaliawda ket kinunada kenni Mica, “Apay a naayabankayo a sangsangkamaysa?”
24 “You stole the gods I made, and my priest too, and then left. What have you left me with? How can you ask me, ‘What's the matter with 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 “Don't complain to us!” Danites replied. “Otherwise some hot-tempered people here might attack you and you and your family will lose your lives!”
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 Danites carried on their way. Micah saw that they were too strong for him to fight so he turned around and went back home.
Ket napanen dagiti tattao ti Dan iti dalanda. Idi nakita ni Mica a napipigsada unay para kenkuana, nagsubli isuna ket napan iti balayna.
27 So the Danites took with them the idols that Micah had made, as well as his priest. They attacked Laish with its peaceful and unsuspecting people, killed them with swords, and burned down the town.
Innala dagiti tattao ti Dan dagiti inaramid ni Mica, kasta met ti padina, ket
28 No one could save them because they were a long way from Sidon and had no other allies to help them. The town was in the valley belonging to Beth-rehob. The Danites rebuilt the city and lived there.
napanda idiay Lais, kadagiti tattao a natalged ken awan pakariribukanna ket pinapatayda ida babaen iti kampilan ket pinuoranda ti siudad.
29 They renamed the city Dan after their forefather, the son of Israel. Laish was its former name.
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 Danites erected the carved idol to worship, and Jonathan, son of Gershom, son of Moses, and his sons became priests for the tribe of Dan until the time when the people went into captivity from 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 They worshiped the carved idol that Micah had made the whole time God's Temple was at Shiloh.
Isu a dinaydayawda ti ladawan a kinitikitan a kukua ni Mica nga inaramidna, agingga nga adda ti balay ti Dios idiay Shilo.
