Judges 18
1 In those days, there was no king in Israel, —and, in those days, the tribe of the Danites was seeking for itself an inheritance to dwell in for there had not fallen to them, unto that day, in the midst of the tribes of Israel, enough for an inheritance.
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 then the sons of Dan sent, out of their family, five men out of their bounds—men who were sons of valour—out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol—to spy out the land, and to explore it, and they said unto them, Go! explore the land. And they came into the hill country of Ephraim, as far as the house of Micah, and lodged 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 They, being by the house of Micah, knew the voice of the young man, the Levite, —so they turned aside there, and said to him—Who brought thee in hither? and what art thou doing in this place, and what hast thou 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 And he said unto them, Thus and so, hath Micah dealt with me, and hath hired me, and I am become his priest.
Kinuna kadakuada, “Kastoy iti inaramid ni Mica kaniak: Tinangdanannak nga agbalin a padina.”
5 So they said unto him—Ask of God, we pray thee, —that we may know whether the journey on which we are going shall have good success.
Kinunada kenkuana, “Pangaasim ta dumawatka iti pammagbaga ti Dios, tapno maammoanmi no ti ipapanmi a panagdalliasat ket naballigi.
6 And the priest said unto them—Go! and prosper, —before Yahweh, is your journey on which ye go.
Kinuna ti padi kadakuada, “Mapan kayo a natalna. Iturongnakayonto ni Yahweh iti dalan a rumbeng a papananyo.”
7 So the five men went their way, and entered Laish, —and saw the people who were therein, dwelling securely, after the manner of the Zidonians, quietly and securely, and there was no one to reproach them with anything in the land, none to possess himself of dominion, they being, far away, from the Zidonians, and having no dealings with any one.
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 So they came unto their brethren, in Zorah and Eshtaol, —and their brethren said unto them—Why are ye minded to do nothing?
Nagsublida iti tribuda idiay Zora ken Estaol. Nagsaludsod kadakuada dagiti kakabagianda, “Ania ti ipadamagyo?”
9 And they said—Arise! and let us go up against them, for we have seen the land, and lo! it is very good, —are, ye, then, minded to do nothing? do not be too slothful to go, and enter, and take possession of 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 ye do enter, ye will enter amongst a people secure, and, the land, is of ample bounds, —yea God hath delivered it into your hands, —a place where there is no lack of anything that is in 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 So there brake up from thence, out of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men, begirt with weapons of war.
Rimmuar manipud Zora ken Estaol ti Innem a gasut a lallaki iti tribu ni Dan, siiigam kadagiti armas a pakigubat.
12 And they went up and encamped in Kiriath-jearim, in Judah, —wherefore they have called that place, Mahaneh-dan—unto this day, lo! it is behind Kiriath-jearim.
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 And they passed on from thence unto the hill country of Ephraim, —and came as far as the house of Micah.
Immadayuda manipud sadiay a nagturong idiay katurturodan ti Efraim ket napanda iti balay ni Mica.
14 Then responded the five men who had been to spy out the land of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Know ye that there are in these houses, an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image, —now, therefore, know what ye will 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 So they turned aside thither, and entered into the house of the young man the Levite, the house of Micah, —and asked him of his welfare.
Napanda ngarud idiay ket dimtengda iti balay ti agtutubo a Levita, iti balay ni Mica, ket kinablaawanda isuna.
16 Now, the six hundred men, begirt with weapons of war, were standing at the entrance of the gate, —they being of the sons of Dan.
Ita dagiti innem a gasut a Danita, nga addaan kadagit armas a pakigubat, nagtakderda iti pagserkan iti ruangan.
17 Then went up the five men who had been to spy out the land, they came in thither, they took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image, —now, the priest, was standing at the entrance of the gate, with the six hundred men who were begirt with weapons of war.
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 But, when, these, had entered the house of Micah, and taken the graven image and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said unto them, What are ye 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 unto him—Hold thy peace, lay thy hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and become to us a father and a priest, —is it better that thou be priest to the house of one man, or that thou be priest to a tribe and to a 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 Then was the heart of the priest glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, —and came into the midst of the people.
Nagrag-o ti puso ti padi. Innalana ti efod, dagiti didoisen ti bumalay, ken ti kinitikitan a ladawan, ket nakikuyog kadagiti tattao.
21 So they turned, and went their way, —and put the little ones, and the cattle, and the goods, before them.
Napanda ngarud ken immadayuda. Inkabilda dagiti babassit nga ub-ubbing iti sangoananda, kasta met dagiti baka ken dagiti sanikuada.
22 They, had gone a good way from the house of Micah, when, the men that were in the houses near to the house of Micah, were called out and overtook the sons of Dan.
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 they called unto the sons of Dan, who turned their faces, —and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou hast called out thy neighbours?
Pinukkawanda dagiti Danita, ket timmaliawda ket kinunada kenni Mica, “Apay a naayabankayo a sangsangkamaysa?”
24 And he said—My gods which I had made, ye have taken away, and the priest, and have departed, and what have I more? How then is it that ye can say unto me, 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 sons of Dan said unto him, Do not let thy voice be heard among us, —lest men embittered in soul fall upon you, and thou gather in thy life and the lives of thy household.
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 the sons of Dan went on their journey, —and, when Micah saw that they were, too strong, for him, he turned and went back unto 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 They, therefore, took what Micah had made, and the priest that he had, and came upon Laish, upon a people quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword, —the city also, burned they with fire.
Innala dagiti tattao ti Dan dagiti inaramid ni Mica, kasta met ti padina, ket
28 And there was no one to rescue, because it was, far, from Zidon, and they had no, dealings, with any one, it, being in the vale that pertaineth to Beth-rehob. Then built they the city, and dwelt therein,
napanda idiay Lais, kadagiti tattao a natalged ken awan pakariribukanna ket pinapatayda ida babaen iti kampilan ket pinuoranda ti siudad.
29 and called the name of the city, Dan, by the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel, —howbeit, Laish, was the name of the city, at the first.
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 the sons of Dan set up for themselves the graven image, —and, Jonathan, son of Gershom, son of Moses, he and his sons, became priests to the tribe of the Danites, until the day of the captivity of 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 So they set up for themselves the graven image of Micah, which he had made, —[and let it remain] all the days that the house of God was in Shiloh.
Isu a dinaydayawda ti ladawan a kinitikitan a kukua ni Mica nga inaramidna, agingga nga adda ti balay ti Dios idiay Shilo.
