< Judges 18 >

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.
Nang mga araw na yaon ay walang hari sa Israel: at nang panahong yaon ay humahanap ang lipi ng mga Danita, ng isang mana na matatahanan; sapagka't hanggang sa araw na yaon, ay hindi nahuhulog sa mga lipi ng Israel ang kanilang mana.
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.
At ang mga anak ni Dan ay nagsugo ng limang lalake ng kanilang angkan, sa kanilang kabuoang bilang, ng mga lalaking may tapang, na mula sa Sora, at sa Esthaol, upang tiktikan ang lupain, at kilalanin; at sinabi nila sa kanila, Kayo'y yumaon, at inyong kilalanin ang lupain. At sila'y naparoon sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim, sa bahay ni Michas, at tumuloy roon.
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.
Nang sila'y malapit sa bahay ni Michas, ay nakilala nila ang tinig ng binatang Levita: at sila'y lumiko roon, at sinabi nila sa kaniya, Sinong nagdala sa iyo rito? at ano ang iyong ginagawa sa dakong ito? at anong mayroon ka rito?
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.
At sinabi niya sa kanila, Ganito't ganito ang ginawa sa akin ni Michas, at kaniyang kinayaring upahan ako, at ako'y naging kaniyang saserdote.
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.
At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Isinasamo namin sa iyo na usisain mo sa Dios, upang aming maalaman, kung ang aming lakad ay papalarin.
6 And he said to them the priest go to peace [is] before Yahweh way your which you go in it.
At sinabi ng saserdote sa kanila, Yumaon kayong payapa: nasa harap ng Panginoon ang daang inyong nilalakaran.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y lumakad ang limang lalake at dumating sa Lais, at nakita ang bayan na naroon, kung paanong sila'y tumatahan sa katiwasayan, na gaya ng mga Sidonio, na tahimik at tiwasay: sapagka't wala sa lupain na nagaaring may kapangyarihan na makapagbibigay kahihiyan sa alin mang bagay, at malayo sa mga Sidonio, at walang pagkikipagkasundo sa kaninoman.
8 And they came to brothers their Zorah and Eshtaol and they said to them brothers their what? you.
At sila'y naparoon sa kanilang mga kapatid sa Sora at Esthaol: at sinabi ng kanilang mga kapatid sa kanila, Ano kayo?
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.
At kanilang sinabi, Kayo'y bumangon at tayo'y umahon laban sa kanila: sapagka't aming nakita ang lupain, at, narito, napakabuti: at natatamad ba kayo? huwag kayong magmakupad na yumaon at pumasok upang ariin ang lupain.
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.
Paglakad ninyo'y darating kayo sa isang bayang tiwasay, at ang lupain ay malaki: sapagka't ibinigay ng Dios sa inyong kamay, isang dakong walang kakailanganing anomang bagay na nasa lupa.
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.
At umalis mula roon ang ilan sa angkan ng mga Danita, mula sa Sora at sa Esthaol, na anim na raang lalake na may sandata ng mga kasakbatan na pangdigma.
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.
At sila'y yumaon, at humantong sa Chiriath-jearim, sa Juda; kaya't kanilang tinawag ang dakong yaon na Mahane-dan hanggang sa araw na ito: narito, ito'y nasa likod ng Chiriath-jearim.
13 And they passed through from there [the] hill country of Ephraim and they came to [the] house of Micah.
At sila'y nagdaan doon hanggang sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim, at naparoon sa bahay ni Michas.
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.
Nang magkagayo'y sumagot ang limang lalake na tumiktik ng lupain ng Lais, at sinabi sa kanilang mga kapatid, Nalalaman ba ninyo na mayroon sa mga bahay na ito na isang epod, at mga terap, at isang larawang inanyuan, at isang larawang binubo? ngayon nga'y akalain ninyo ang marapat ninyong gawin.
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.
At sila'y lumiko roon, at naparoon sa bahay ng binatang Levita, sa makatuwid baga'y hanggang sa bahay ni Michas, at tinanong nila siya ng kaniyang kalagayan.
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.
At ang anim na raang lalake na may sandata ng kanilang mga kasakbatan na pangdigma, na pawang mga anak ni Dan, ay nagsitayo sa pasukan ng pintuang-bayan.
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.
At ang limang lalake na yumaong tumiktik ng lupain ay nagsiahon at pumasok doon, at kinuha ang larawang inanyuan, at ang epod, at ang mga terap, at ang larawang binubo, at ang saserdote ay nakatayo sa pasukan ng pintuang-bayan na kasama ng anim na raang lalake na may sandata ng kanilang mga kasakbatang pangdigma.
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.
At nang pumasok ang mga ito sa bahay ni Michas, at makuha ang larawang inanyuan, ang epod, at ang mga terap, at ang larawang binubo, ay sinabi ng saserdote sa kanila, Ano ang inyong gagawin?
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.
At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Pumayapa ka, itakip mo ang iyong kamay sa iyong bibig at sumama ka sa amin, at maging ama at saserdote ka namin: magaling ba kaya sa iyo ang maging saserdote sa bahay ng isang lalake o maging saserdote sa isang lipi at sa isang angkan sa Israel?
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.
At natuwa ang puso ng saserdote, at kaniyang kinuha ang epod, at ang mga terap, at ang larawang inanyuan, at yumaon sa gitna ng bayan.
21 And they turned and they went and they put the little one[s] and the livestock and the valuable[s] before them.
Sa gayo'y bumalik sila, at yumaon, at inilagay ang mga bata at ang kawan, at ang mga daladalahan, sa unahan nila.
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.
Nang sila'y malayo na sa bahay ni Michas, ang mga lalaking nasa mga bahay na kalapit ng bahay ni Michas ay nagpipisan at inabot ang mga anak ni Dan.
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.
At kaniyang sinigawan ang mga anak ni Dan. At inilingon nila ang kanilang mga mukha, at sinabi kay Michas, Anong mayroon ka, na ikaw ay nagpisan ng ganyang pulutong?
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.
At kaniyang sinabi, Inyong kinuha ang aking mga dios na aking ginawa, at ang saserdote, at kayo'y yumaon, at ano pang mayroon ako? at bakit nga sasabihin ninyo sa akin, Anong mayroon ka?
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.
At sinabi ng mga anak ni Dan sa kaniya, Huwag ng marinig ang iyong tinig, baka daluhungin ka ng mga mapusok na kasama, at iyong iwala ang iyong buhay, pati ng buhay ng iyong sangbahayan.
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.
At ipinagpatuloy ng mga anak ni Dan ang kanilang lakad: at nang makita ni Michas na sila'y totoong malakas kay sa kaniya, ay bumalik at umuwi sa kaniyang bahay.
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.
At kanilang kinuha ang ginawa ni Michas, at ang saserdote na kaniyang tinatangkilik, at naparoon sa Lais, sa bayang tahimik at tiwasay, at sinaktan nila ng talim ng tabak: at sinunog nila ang bayan.
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.
At walang magligtas, sapagka't malayo sa Sidon, at sila'y walang pakikipagkasundo sa kanino man, at nasa libis na lumalaganap sa dakong Bethrehob. At kanilang itinayo ang bayan, at tinahanan nila.
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].
At kanilang tinawag na Dan ang pangalan ng bayan, ayon sa pangalan ni Dan na kanilang ama na ipinanganak sa Israel: gayon ma'y ang pangalan ng bayan nang una ay Lais.
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.
At itinayo sa kanilang sarili ng mga anak ni Dan ang larawang inanyuan: at si Jonathan na anak ni Gerson, na anak ni Moises, siya at ang kaniyang mga anak ay siyang mga saserdote sa lipi ng mga Danita hanggang sa araw ng pagkabihag sa lupain.
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.
Gayon nila itinayo ang larawang inanyuan ni Michas na kaniyang ginawa, sa buong panahon na ang bahay ng Dios ay nasa Silo.
