Judges 18
1 In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the Danites was looking for an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day, their inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.
To, a kwanakin nan Isra’ila ba ta da sarki. A kwanakin kuwa zuriyar Dan tana neman wurinsu na zama, gama ba su riga sun sami gādo tare da kabilan Isra’ila ba.
2 The people of Dan sent of their family five men from their whole number, men of valor, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said to them, "Go, explore the land." They came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and stayed there.
Saboda haka mutanen Dan suka aika jarumawa guda biyar daga Zora da Eshtawol don su leƙi asirin ƙasar su kuma bincike ta. Waɗannan mutanen sun wakilci dukan kabilar. Suka ce musu, “Ku je, ku bincike ƙasar.” Mutanen suka shiga ƙasar tudu ta Efraim suka zo gidan Mika, inda suka kwana.
3 When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite; and they turned in that direction, and said to him, "Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? And what is your business here?"
Sa’ad da suka yi kusa da gidan Mika, sai suka gane muryar saurayin nan Balawe; saboda haka suka shiga wurin suka tambaye shi, “Wa ya kawo ka nan? Me kake yi a nan? Me ya sa kake a nan?”
4 He said to them, "Thus and so has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his priest."
Ya gaya musu abin da Mika ya faɗa masa ya ce, “Ya ɗauke ni aiki ya kuma sa in zama masa firist.”
5 They said to him, "Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous."
Sa’an nan suka ce masa, “Muna roƙonka ka nemi mana nufin Allah don mu sani ko tafiyarmu tana da nasara.”
6 The priest said to them, "Go in peace. The LORD will watch over you on your journey."
Firist ya amsa ya ce, “Ku sauka lafiya, gama tafiyarku tana da yardan Ubangiji.”
7 Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people who were there, and how they lived in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no one in the land possessing authority that might trouble them in anyway, and they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with Aram.
Saboda haka mutum biyar ɗin suka tashi suka iso Layish, inda suka ga mutane suna zamansu a huce, kamar Sidoniyawa, ba sa zato ga tsaro. Kuma da yake ƙasarsu ba ta bukata kome, suna da wadata. Suna kuma nesa da Sidoniyawa, ba sa kuma hulɗa da kowa.
8 They came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brothers said to them, "What do you say?"
Da suka komo Zora da Eshtawol,’yan’uwansu suka tambaye su, “Me kuka gano?”
9 They said, "Arise, and let us go up against them, for we have entered and journeyed in the land as far as Laish, and we saw the people how they lived in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, and they were far from the Sidonians, and they had no dealings with Aram. But arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and look, it is very good. Will you do nothing? Do not hesitate to go and to enter in to possess the land.
Suka ce, “Ku zo mu yaƙe su! Mun ga ƙasar tana da kyau sosai. Ba za ku yi wani abu ba? Kada ku yi wata-wata, ku je kun mallaki ƙasar.
10 When you go, you shall come to a secure people, and the land is large; for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no want of anything that is on the earth."
Sa’ad da kun kai can, za ku iske mutanen suna zama a sake, ƙasar kuwa mai faɗi ce wadda Allah ya sa a hannuwanku, ƙasar da ba tă rasa kome ba.”
11 Then the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men armed with weapons of war, set forth from there.
Sai mutane ɗari shida daga kabilar Dan suka yi ɗamarar yaƙi, suka tashi daga Zora da Eshtawol.
12 They went up, and camped in Kiriath Jearim, in Judah. Therefore they called that place Mahaneh Dan to this day; look, it is behind Kiriath Jearim.
A kan hanyarsu suka kafa sansani kusa da Kiriyat Yeyarim a Yahuda. Shi ya sa a ana kira wurin nan yamma da Kiriyat Yeyarim Mahane Dan har wa yau.
13 They passed there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
Daga can suka tafi ƙasar tudu ta Efraim suka zo gidan Mika.
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 an engraved image, and a molten image? Now therefore consider what you have to do."
Sa’an nan mutum biyar ɗin nan da suka leƙi asirin ƙasar Layish suka ce wa’yan’uwansu, “Kun san cewa ɗaya daga cikin gidajen nan yana da efod, waɗansu allolin iyali, siffar da aka sassaƙa da kuma gunki na zubi? To, kun san abin da za ku yi.”
15 They turned aside there, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even to the house of Micah, and asked him of his welfare.
Saboda haka suka juya a wurin suka shiga gidan saurayin nan Balawe a wajen Mika suka gaishe shi.
16 The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the people of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.
Mutanen Dan ɗari shida da suka sha ɗamarar yaƙi suka tsaya a bakin ƙofa.
17 The five men who went to spy out the land went up, and came in there, and took the engraved image, and the ephod, and 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.
Sai mutum biyar da suka leƙi asirin ƙasar suka shiga ciki suka ɗauke gunkin da aka sassaƙa, efod, sauran allolin gida da kuma gunki na zubi yayinda firist ɗin tare da mutane ɗari shida da suka yi ɗamarar yaƙi suna tsaye a bakin ƙofa.
18 And these went into Micah's house, and took the engraved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. And the priest said to them, "What are you doing?"
Sa’ad da waɗannan mutane suka shiga gidan Mika suka ɗauke gunkin da aka sassaƙa, efod, sauran allolin gida da kuma gunki na zubi, sai firist ya ce musu, “Me kuke yi?”
19 They said to him, "Hold your peace, lay your hand on your mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest. 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?"
Suka ce, “Ka yi shiru! Kada ka ce wani abu. Zo tare da mu, ka zama mahaifinmu da kuma firist. Bai fi maka ka yi wa kabila da kuma zuriya a Isra’ila aikin firist ba, da ka bauta wa iyali guda kawai?”
20 The priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the engraved image, and the molten image, and went in the midst of the people.
Sai firist ya yi farin ciki. Ya ɗauki efod, sauran allolin gida da siffar da aka sassaƙa ya tafi tare da mutanen.
21 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the livestock and the goods before them.
Suka sa’ya’yansu ƙanana a gaba, dabbobinsu da mallakansu a gabansu, suka juya suka tafi.
22 They were some distance from the house of Micah, and look, Micah and the men who were in the houses near Micah's house gathered together and overtook the people of Dan.
Sa’ad da suka yi ɗan nisa daga gidan Mika, sai aka kira mutanen da suke maƙwabtakar da Mika suka taru suka bi mutanen Dan suka cim musu.
23 They cried to the people of Dan. They turned their faces, and said to Micah, "What's wrong with you, that you come with such a company?"
Da suna ihu suna binsu, sai mutanen Dan suka waiga suka cewa Mika, “Mece ce damuwarka da ka kira mutanenka su zo su fāɗa mana?”
24 He said, "You have taken away my gods which I made for myself, and the priest, and have gone away, and what more do I have? How then do you say to me, 'What's wrong with you?'"
Ya amsa ya ce, “Kun kwashe allolin da na yi, da kuma firist nawa, kuka tafi. Me kuma nake da shi? Yaya za ku ce, ‘Mece ce damuwata?’”
25 The people of Dan said to him, "Do not let your voice be heard among us, or angry men will attack you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household."
Mutanen Dan suka ce, “Kada ka kuskura ka ce kome, in ba haka ba mutanen nan za su harzuƙa, da kai da iyalinka duka ku rasa rayukanku.”
26 The people of Dan went their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.
Saboda haka mutanen Dan suka kama hanyarsu, Mika kuwa da ya ga an fi ƙarfinsa, sai ya juya ya koma gida.
27 They took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and struck them with the edge of the sword; and they burnt the city with fire.
Sa’an nan suka ɗauko abin da Mika ya yi, da firist nasa, suka tafi Layish, suka fāɗa wa mutanen da suke zaman lafiya, ransu kuma a kwance. Suka fāɗa musu suka kuma ƙone birninsu.
28 There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone, and it was in the valley that lies by Beth Rehob. They built the city, and lived there.
Ba wanda zai cece su domin suna nesa da Bet-Sidon kuma ba sa hulɗa da kowa. Birnin yana a kwari kusa da Bet-Rekob. Mutanen Dan suka sāke gina birnin suka zauna a can.
29 They called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor, who was born to Israel. However the name of the city was originally Laish.
Suka sa wa birnin suna Dan, wato, sunan kakansu Dan, wanda aka haifa wa Isra’ila, ko da yake a dā ana kira birnin Layish.
30 The people 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 exile from the land.
A can mutanen Dan suka kafa wa kansu gumaka, Yonatan ɗan Gershom, ɗan Musa, da’ya’yansa maza firistoci ne na kabilar Dan har lokacin da aka kwashe mutane zuwa bauta.
31 So they set up for themselves Micah's engraved image which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
Suka ci gaba da amfani da gumakan da Mika ya yi, a duk wannan lokacin gidan Allah yana a Shilo.
