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.
Yeroo sanatti Israaʼel keessa mootiin hin jiru ture. Sababii hamma yeroo sanaatti gosoota Israaʼel gidduutti dhaalli isaaniif hin kennaminiif gosti Daan iddoo qubatan barbaaddachaa turan.
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.
Kanaafuu warri Daan akka isaan biyya sana basaasanii fi magaalaa Zoraatii fi Eshitaaʼol keessaa namoota jajjaboo shan ergan. Namoonni kunneenis gosoota isaanii hunda iddoo buʼan. Warra erganiinis, “Dhaqaatii biyyattii sakattaʼaa” jedhan. Ergamoonni sunis biyya gaaraa Efreemiitti ol baʼanii mana Miikaa dhufan; halkan sanas achi bulan.
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?"
Isaanis yommuu mana Miikaa bira gaʼanitti sagalee dargaggeessa Lewwicha sanaa hubatan; kanaafuu itti goranii, “Eenyutu as si fide? Ati maal asii goota? Maaliifis as dhufte?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
4 He said to them, "Thus and so has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his priest."
Innis, “Miikaatu na qaxarate; anis luba isaa ti” jedhee waan inni isaaf godhe isaanitti hime.
5 They said to him, "Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous."
Isaanis, “Maaloo mee akka karaan keenya milkaaʼuu fi akka hin milkoofne Waaqa nuu gaafadhu” jedhaniin.
6 The priest said to them, "Go in peace. The LORD will watch over you on your journey."
Lubichis, “Nagaan deemaa; Waaqayyo karaa keessan isinii mijeesseera” isaaniin jedhe.
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.
Kanaafuu namoonni shanan sun kaʼanii Laayish dhaqan; akka namoonni achi jiraatan, akkuma warra Siidoonaa sodaa tokko malee nagaadhaan jiraatanis argan. Isaanis sababii lafti isaanii waan hunda qabduuf jireenya badhaadhaa jiraatan. Akkasumas sababii warra Siidoonaa irraa fagaatanii jiraachaa turaniif isaan eenyuma wajjinuu walitti dhufeenya tokko illee hin qaban ture.
8 They came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brothers said to them, "What do you say?"
Yommuu isaan Zoraa fi Eshitaaʼolitti deebiʼanitti obboloonni isaanii, “Oduu maalii qabattanii deebitan?” jedhanii isaan gaafatan.
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.
Isaanis deebisanii akkana jedhaniin; “Kaʼaa dhaqnee isaan lollaa! Nu akka biyyattiin gabbattuu taate argineerra. Isin waan kana ittuma dhiiftuu? Dhaqxanii qabachuu hin maminaa.
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."
Isinis yommuu achi geessanitti saba yaaddoo tokko malee jiraatuu fi biyya balʼaa Waaqni dabarsee harka keessanitti isinii kennu kan wanni tokko iyyuu itti hin hirʼatin argattu.”
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.
Kana irratti gosa Daan keessaa namoonni dhibba jaʼa miʼa lolaa hidhatanii Zoraa fi Eshitaaʼolii kaʼan.
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.
Ol baʼaniis Yihuudaa keessa iddoo Kiriyaati Yeʼaariim jedhamu bira qubatan. Sababii kanaaf iddoon sun hamma harʼaatti qubata Daan jedhamee waamama; qubanni sunis gama lixa Kiriyaati Yeʼaariimitti argama.
13 They passed there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
Isaanis achii itti fufanii gara biyya gaaraa Efreemitti ol baʼanii mana Miikaa dhufan.
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."
Namoonni Shanan biyya Laayish basaasanii turan sunis, obboloota isaaniitiin, “Isin akka manneen kana keessaa tokko dirata, fakkii waaqota tolfamoo mana keessaa, fakkii soofamee fi fakkii meetiin itti uffifame qabu beektuu? Amma waan gochuu qabdan beekaa” jedhan.
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.
Kanaafuu isaan achi goranii mana Miikaa iddoo Lewwichi dargaggeessi sun jiraatu dhufanii nagaa isa gaafatan.
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.
Namoonni Daan warri miʼa lolaa hidhatan dhibbi jaʼaan balbala ittiin karra seenan irra dhaabatanii turan.
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.
Namoonni biyyattii basaasan shanan ol galanii fakkii soofame, dirata, waaqota tolfamoo mana keessaatii fi Waaqa tolfamaa baqfamee hojjetame fudhatan. Yeroo kanatti lubni sunii fi namoonni miʼa lolaa hidhatan dhibbi jaʼaan balbala ittiin karra seenan irra dhaabachaa turan.
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?"
Yommuu namoonni kunneen mana Miikaa seenanii fakkii soofame, dirata, waaqota tolfamoo mana keessaa biraatii fi Waaqa baqfamee hojjetame fudhatanitti lubichi, “Isin maal hojjechaa jirtu?” Isaaniin jedhe.
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?"
Isaanis, “Calʼisi! Afaan kee qabadhu; nu faana kottuutii abbaa fi luba nuu taʼi. Mana nama tokkoo keessa tajaajiluu irra sanyii fi gosa Israaʼeliif luba taatee tajaajiluu siif hin wayyuu?” jedhaniin.
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.
Lubni sun ni gammade. Innis dirata, waaqota tolfamoo mana keessaa biraatii fi fakkii soofame sana fudhatee isaan wajjin deeme.
21 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the livestock and the goods before them.
Isaanis, ijoollee isaanii xixinnoo, horii isaaniitii fi qabeenya isaanii of dura buusanii of irra garagalanii qajeelan.
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.
Yeroo isaan mana Miikaa irraa xinnoo fagaatanii deemanittis, namoonni ollaa mana Miikaa wal waamanii namoota Daan duukaa buʼanii qaqqaban.
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?"
Isaan itti iyyinaan warri Daan of irra garagalanii Miikaadhaan, “Ati maal barbaaddee namoota kee waammattee nu loluuf dhufte?” jedhan.
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?'"
Innis deebisee, “Isin waaqota ani tolfadhee fi luba koo fudhattaniirtu. Wanni naa hafe maaltu jira? Yoos isin akkamitti, ‘Maali taate?’ naan jettu ree?”
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."
Namoonni Daanis, “Afaan kee nutti hin banin; yoo kanaa achii namoonni obsa hin qabne tokko tokko si dhaʼu; atii fi maatiin kees lubbuu keessan dhabdu” jedhaniin.
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.
Ergasii namoonni Daan karaa isaanii itti fufan; Miikaan akka isaan humna isaatii ol taʼan hubatee of irra garagalee gara mana ofii isaatti qajeele.
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.
Isaan waan Miikaan tolfatee fi luba isaa fudhatanii Laayishitti qajeelanii saba yaaddoo tokko malee nagaan jiraatutti duulan. Goraadeedhaan isaan fixanii magaalaa isaaniis guban.
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.
Sababii isaan Siidoon irraa fagaatanii jiraatanii fi eenyuma wajjin walitti dhufeenya hin qabneef kan isaan baraaru tokko iyyuu hin jiru ture. Magaalaan sun sulula keessa Beet Rehooboot biratti argamti turte. Namoonni Daan magaalaa sana deebisanii ijaaruudhaan achi jiraatan.
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.
Magaalaan sun duraan Laayish jedhamti turte; isaan garuu Daan jedhanii maqaa abbaa isaanii Daan namicha Israaʼeliif dhalate sanaatiin moggaasan.
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.
Achittis namoonni Daan ofii isaaniitiif waaqota tolfamoo dhaabbatan; Yoonaataan ilmi Geershoom, ilmi Musee sunii fi ilmaan isaa hamma biyyattiin boojiʼamtetti luboota gosa Daan turan.
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.
Kanaafuu isaan ittuma fufanii bara manni Waaqaa Shiiloo ture guutuu waaqota Miikaan tolfatetti fayyadamaa turan.
