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.
I A manawa, aole alii maluna o ka Iseraela, a i kela mau la e imi ana o ka Dana i aina kahi e noho ai no lakou, no ka mea, a hiki mai ia wa, aole i ili mai ko Dana aina iwaena o na ohana o ka Iseraela.
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.
Hoouna ae la na mamo a Dana i elima kanaka o ka lakou ohana, no ko lakou aina, he poe kanaka koa, no Zora, a no Esetaola, e kiu i ka aina, a makaikai; a i mai la lakou, E hele, e makaikai i ka aina. A hiki lakou i ka mauna o Eperaima, i ka hale o Mika, kipa ae la lakou ilaila.
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?"
A ma ka hale o Mika lakou, maopopo ia lakou ka leo o ke kanaka hou o ka Levi; kipa ae la lakou ilaila, i ae la ia ia, Nawai oe i kai mai nei? Heaha hoi kau e hana nei ma keia wahi? Heaha kau o nei?
4 He said to them, "Thus and so has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his priest."
I mai la ia, Penei, a penei ka hana ana o Mika ia'u, a ua hoolimalima mai ia'u, a owau no kona kahuna.
5 They said to him, "Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous."
I aku la lakou ia ia, E ninau aku paha oe i ke Akua, i ike makou, e pomaikai paha ko makou hele, e hele nei.
6 The priest said to them, "Go in peace. The LORD will watch over you on your journey."
I mai la ke kahuna ia lakou, O hele me ka pomaikai, he pololei ia Iehova ka hele a oukou e hele nei.
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.
Alaila, hele aku la ua mau kanaka la elima, a hiki aku la i Laisa, ike iho la i ko laila kanaka e noho makau ole ana, ma ke ano o ko Zidona, ua malie, aole i makau, aole mea e noho alii ana ma ka honua nei i hana ino mai; a ua loihi lakou, mai Zidona aku, aohe o lakou mea pu me kekahi kanaka e.
8 They came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brothers said to them, "What do you say?"
A hoi mai la lakou i ko lakou poe hoahanau ma Zora, a me Esetaola. I aku la ko lakou poe hoahanau ia lakou, Heaha ka oukou?
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.
I mai la lakou, E ala mai, i pii ku e kakou ia lakou no; ka mea, ua ike makou i ka aina, aia hoi, ua maikai loa ia; a e noho malie ana oukou? Mai hoomolowa oukou i ka pii aku, a komo, a hoopio i ka aina.
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."
I ko oukou hele ana, e hiki no oukou i ka poe kanaka, e makau ole ana, a i ka aina nui; no ka mea, ua haawi mai ke Akua ia aina i ko oukou lima. Aole hoi i nele ia aina i kekahi mea o ka honua.
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.
Hele aku la, mai ia wahi aku, no ka ohana a Dana, mai Zora, a me Esetaola aku, eono haneri kanaka i kahikoia i na mea kaua.
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.
Pii aku la lakou a hoomoana iho la ma Kiriatiarima ma ka Iuda: nolaila, kapa aku la lakou ia wahi, o Mahanedana, a hiki mai i neia la; aia no ma ke kua o Kiriatiarima.
13 They passed there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
A malaila aku lakou i hele ai a i ka mauna o Eperaima, a hiki aku la i ka hale o 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."
Alaila, ninau ae la na kanaka elima, i hele aku e makaikai i ka aina o Laisa, i aku la i ko lakou poe hoahanau, Ua ike anei oukou, aia maloko o keia mau hale, he epoda, a he terapima, a me ke kii, a me ke kii hooheheeia? Nolaila ea, e noonoo oukou i ka oukou mea e hana'i.
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.
Kipa ae la lakou ilaila, a hiki ae la i ke kanaka hou o ka Levi, i ka hale hoi o Mika, a aloha ae la ia ia.
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.
Ku iho la ma ka ipuka, kela poe kanaka eono haneri i kahikoia i na mea kaua, o ka poe mamo hoi a Dana.
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.
Pii ae la a komo ilaila na kanaka elima i pii aku e makaikai i ka aina, a lawe lakou i ke kii, a me ka epoda, a me ke terapima, a me ke kii i hooheheeia; a ku mai la ke kahuna ma ka ipuka me na kanaka eono haneri i kahikoia i na mea kaua.
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?"
Hele aku la keia poe iloko o ka hale o Mika, a lawe mai la i ke kii, a me ka epoda, a me ke terapima, a me ke kii i hooheheeia. Alaila, i aku la ke kahuna ia lakou, Heaha ka oukou e hana nei?
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?"
I mai la lakou ia ia, Hamau, e kau oe i kou lima ma kou waha, a e hele pu me makou, i lilo oe i makua no makou, a i kahuna hoi. He mea maikai anei ia oe i kahuna oe no ka hale o ke kanaka hookahi, no ka ohana paha, a no ka hanauna iloko o ka Iseraela?
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.
Olioli iho la ka naau o ke kahuna, a lawe ae la oia i ka epoda, a me ke terapima, a me ke kii, a hele aku la iwaena o na kanaka.
21 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the livestock and the goods before them.
Huli ae la lakou a hele aku la, a hoonoho iho la i ka poe opio, a me na holoholona, a me ka ukana imua o lakou.
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.
A hiki lakou i kahi mamao mai ka hale o Mika aku, alaila, hoakoakoaia mai la na kanaka o kauhale e kokoke ana ma ka hale o Mika, a hahai aku la i na mamo a Dana.
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?"
Hea aku la lakou i na mamo a Dana; a huli mai ko lakou maka, i mai la ia Mika, Heaha kau i akoakoa mai nei?
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?'"
I aku la keia, Ua lawe aku oukou i ko'u mau akua, a'u i hana'i, a me ke kahuna, a ua hele oukou. Heaha hoi ka mea i koe ia'u? Heaha hoi keia mea a oukou i ninau mai nei ia'u? Heaha kau?
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."
I mai la na mamo a Dana ia ia, Mai lohe hou ia kou leo iwaena o makou, o lele aku maluna o oukou na kanaka i walania, a lilo kou ola, a me ke ola o ko ka hale ou.
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.
Hele aku la na mamo a Dana i ko lakou wahi i hele ai. A ike iho la o Mika, ua oi ko lakou ikaika i kona, huli mai la ia, a hoi ae la i kona hale.
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.
Lawe lakou i na mea a Mika i hana'i, a me kona kahuna, a hele aku la i Laisa, i ka poe kanaka e noho malie ana, me ka makau ole; a luku aku la keia poe ia lakou i ka maka o ka pahikaua, a puhi aku la i ko lakou kulanakauhale i ke ahi.
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.
Aohe mea nana i hoopakele, no ka mea, ua loihi ia mai Zidona aku, aole hoi lakou he mea pu me kekahi kanaka e. Aia no ia ma ke kahawai e kokoke ana i Beterehoba. Hana iho la lakou i kulanakauhale, a noho no ilaila.
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.
Kapa iho la lakou i ka inoa o ia kulanakauhale, o Dana, mamuli o Dana, o ko lakou kupuna kane, ka mea i hanau na Iseraela; aka, o Laisa ka inoa kahiko o ua kulanakauhale la.
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.
Kukulu iho la na mamo a Dana i ke kii; a o Ionetana, ke keiki a Geresoma, ke keiki a Manase, oia, a me kana mau keiki na kahuna no ka ohana a Dana, a hiki i ka la i pio ai ka aina.
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.
Kukulu lakou i ke kii o Mika, ana i hana'i, i ka manawa a pau i ku ai ka hale o ke Akua ma Silo.
