1 In the days those there not [was] a king in Israel and in the days those [the] tribe of the Danite[s] [was] seeking for itself an inheritance to dwell in for not it had fallen to it until the day that in among [the] tribes of Israel an inheritance.
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 And they sent [the] descendants of Dan - from tribe their five men from ends their men sons of strength from Zorah and from Eshtaol to spy out the land and to explore it and they said to them go explore the land and they went [the] hill country of Ephraim to [the] house of Micah and they spent [the] night 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 They [were] near [the] house of Micah and they they recognized [the] voice of the young man the Levite and they turned aside there and they said to him who? did he bring you here and what? [are] you doing in this [place] and what? [belongs] to you 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 And he said to them like this and like this he has done for me Micah and he has hired me and I have become of him a priest.
Innis, “Miikaatu na qaxarate; anis luba isaa ti” jedhee waan inni isaaf godhe isaanitti hime.
5 And they said to him enquire please by God so let us know ¿ will it succeed journey our which we [are] going on it.
Isaanis, “Maaloo mee akka karaan keenya milkaaʼuu fi akka hin milkoofne Waaqa nuu gaafadhu” jedhaniin.
6 And he said to them the priest go to peace [is] before Yahweh way your which you go in it.
Lubichis, “Nagaan deemaa; Waaqayyo karaa keessan isinii mijeesseera” isaaniin jedhe.
7 And they went [the] five the men and they came Laish towards and they saw the people which in midst its [was] dwelling to security according to [the] custom of [the] Sidonians at peace - and secure and there not [was one] putting to shame anything in the land [one] possessing oppression and [were] far they from [the] Sidonians and anything not [belonged] to them with anyone.
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 And they came to brothers their Zorah and Eshtaol and they said to them brothers their what? you.
Yommuu isaan Zoraa fi Eshitaaʼolitti deebiʼanitti obboloonni isaanii, “Oduu maalii qabattanii deebitan?” jedhanii isaan gaafatan.
9 And they said arise! so we may go up on them for we have seen the land and there! [it is] good very and you [are] inactive may not you hesitate to go to go to take possession of 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 go you you will come - to a people secure and the land [is] broad of both hands for he has given it God in hand your a place where there not there [is] lack of any thing which [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 And they set out from there of [the] tribe of the Danite[s] from Zorah and from Eshtaol six hundred man girded weapons of war.
Kana irratti gosa Daan keessaa namoonni dhibba jaʼa miʼa lolaa hidhatanii Zoraa fi Eshitaaʼolii kaʼan.
12 And they went up and they encamped at Kiriath Jearim in Judah there-fore they called the place that Mahaneh Dan until the day this there! 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 And they passed through from there [the] hill country of Ephraim and they came to [the] house of Micah.
Isaanis achii itti fufanii gara biyya gaaraa Efreemitti ol baʼanii mana Miikaa dhufan.
14 And they answered [the] five the men who had gone to spy out the land Laish and they said to brothers their ¿ do you know that there in the houses these [are] an ephod and teraphim and a carved image and a molten image and therefore consider what? will you 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 And they turned aside there and they came to [the] house of the young man the Levite [the] house of Micah and they asked of him to welfare.
Kanaafuu isaan achi goranii mana Miikaa iddoo Lewwichi dargaggeessi sun jiraatu dhufanii nagaa isa gaafatan.
16 And six hundred man girded [the] weapons of war their [were] standing [the] entrance of the gate who [were] of [the] descendants of Dan.
Namoonni Daan warri miʼa lolaa hidhatan dhibbi jaʼaan balbala ittiin karra seenan irra dhaabatanii turan.
17 And they went up [the] five the men who had gone to spy out the land they went there they took the carved image and the ephod and the teraphim and the molten image and the priest [was] standing [the] entrance of the gate and six hundred the man girded [the] 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 [men] they went [the] house of Micah and they took [the] carved image of the ephod and the teraphim and the molten image and he said to them the priest 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 And they said to him keep quiet put hand your over mouth your and come with us and become of us a father and a priest ¿ good - [is] being you a priest of [the] house of a man one or? being you a priest of a tribe and of a clan 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 And it was good [the] heart of the priest and he took the ephod and the teraphim and the carved image and he 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 And they turned and they went and they put the little one[s] and the livestock and the valuable[s] before them.
Isaanis, ijoollee isaanii xixinnoo, horii isaaniitii fi qabeenya isaanii of dura buusanii of irra garagalanii qajeelan.
22 They they had gone far away from [the] house of Micah and the men who [were] in the houses which [were] near [the] house of Micah they were called together and they overtook [the] descendants of Dan.
Yeroo isaan mana Miikaa irraa xinnoo fagaatanii deemanittis, namoonni ollaa mana Miikaa wal waamanii namoota Daan duukaa buʼanii qaqqaban.
23 And they called out to [the] descendants of Dan and they turned round faces their and they said to Micah what? [is that] to you that you have been called together.
Isaan itti iyyinaan warri Daan of irra garagalanii Miikaadhaan, “Ati maal barbaaddee namoota kee waammattee nu loluuf dhufte?” jedhan.
24 And he said gods my which I made you have taken and the priest and you have gone and what? [belongs] to me still and why? this are you saying to me what? [is] to 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 And they said to him [the] descendants of Dan may not you make heard voice your with us lest they should fall on you men bitter of appetite and you will gather life your and [the] life of household your.
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 And they went [the] descendants of Dan to way their and he saw Micah that [were too] strong they for him and he turned and he returned to house his.
Ergasii namoonni Daan karaa isaanii itti fufan; Miikaan akka isaan humna isaatii ol taʼan hubatee of irra garagalee gara mana ofii isaatti qajeele.
27 And they they took [that] which he had made Micah and the priest who he belonged to him and they went to Laish to a people at peace and secure and they struck them to [the] mouth of [the] sword and the city they burned 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 And there not [was] a deliverer for [was] far it from Sidon and anything not [belonged] to them with anyone and it [was] in the valley which [belongs] to Beth Rehob and they rebuilt the city and they dwelt in it.
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 And they called [the] name of the city Dan by [the] name of Dan ancestor their who he was born to Israel and but [was] Laish [the] name of the city to the former [time].
Magaalaan sun duraan Laayish jedhamti turte; isaan garuu Daan jedhanii maqaa abbaa isaanii Daan namicha Israaʼeliif dhalate sanaatiin moggaasan.
30 And they set up for themselves [the] descendants of Dan the carved image and Jonathan [the] son of Gershom [the] son of Manasseh he and sons his they were priests of [the] tribe of the Danite[s] until [the] day went into exile of 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 And they set up for themselves [the] carved image of Micah which he had made all [the] days of [the] being of [the] house of God at Shiloh.
Kanaafuu isaan ittuma fufanii bara manni Waaqaa Shiiloo ture guutuu waaqota Miikaan tolfatetti fayyadamaa turan.
