< Judges 18 >

1 In those days there was no king in Israel. In those days the tribe of the Danites sought an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day, their inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.
Waagaas reer binu Israa'iil boqor ma ay lahayn; oo qabiilkii reer Daan waxay wakhtigaas doonayeen dal dhaxal u ah oo ay degaan; waayo, ilaa maalintaas dhaxal kama ay helin qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil.
2 The children of Dan sent five men of their family from their whole number, men of valor, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land and to search it. They said to them, “Go, explore the land!” They came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.
Markaasay reer Daan qabiilkoodii oo dhan ka direen shan nin oo xoog leh, oo waxay ka direen Sorcaah iyo Eshtaa'ool, inay dalka soo basaasaan oo ay soo baadhaan; oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Taga oo dalka soo baadha. Markaasay yimaadeen gurigii Miikaah oo ku yiil dalkii buuraha lahaa oo reer Efrayim, oo meeshaasay u hoydeen.
3 When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite; so they went over there and said to him, “Who brought you here? What do you do in this place? What do you have here?”
Oo markay gurigii Miikaah ag joogeen ayay garteen codkii ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa oo reer Laawi. Markaasay halkaas ku leexdeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War yaa halkan ku keenay? Oo maxaad ka samaysaa meeshan? Maxaadse ku haysataa halkan?
4 He said to them, “Thus and thus has Micah dealt with me, and he has hired me, and I have become his priest.”
Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Sidan iyo sidaas ayaa Miikaah ii sameeyey, wuuna i kiraystay, oo anna waxaan noqday wadaadkiisii.
5 They said to him, “Please ask counsel of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.”
Oo iyana waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Waannu ku baryaynaaye, bal Ilaah talo noo weyddii, inaannu ogaanno bal inaannu jidkayaga aan ku soconno ku soo liibaanayno iyo in kale.
6 The priest said to them, “Go in peace. Your way in which you go is before the LORD.”
Markaasuu wadaadkii ku yidhi, Nabad ku taga; waayo, jidka aad ku socotaan wuxuu hor yaallaa Rabbiga.
7 Then the five men departed and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, how they lived in safety, in the way of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no one in the land possessing authority, that might put them to shame in anything, and they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with anyone else.
Markaasay shantii nin tageen, oo yimaadeen Layish oo waxay arkeen dadkii halkaa joogay oo ammaan ku deggan siday reer Siidoon u xasilloonaayeen oo ammaan u ahaayeen oo kale; waayo, dalka laguma arag wax amar haysta, oo ka xishoodsiinaya, oo reer Siidoonna way ka fogaayeen, oo ninnaba lama ay macaamiloon jirin.
8 They came to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol; and their brothers asked them, “What do you say?”
Markaasay nimankii walaalahood ugu yimaadeen Sorcaah iyo Eshtaa'ool. Kolkaasaa walaalahood waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War bal warrama.
9 They said, “Arise, and let’s go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. Do you stand still? Don’t be slothful to go and to enter in to possess the land.
Oo iyana waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War kaca oo ina keena aynu ku duullee, waayo, waannu soo aragnay dalkii, oo aad buu u wanaagsan yahay. Miyaad iska aamusnaanaysaan? War ha ka caajisina inaad tagtaan oo aad dalka gashaan oo dhaxashaan.
10 When you go, you will come to an unsuspecting people, and the land is large; for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no lack of anything that is in the earth.”
Markaad tagtaan waxaad u tegi doontaan dad ammaan ah, oo dalkuna waa ballaadhan yahay; waayo, Ilaah gacantuu idiin geliyey, oo waa meel aan waxba looga baahnayn waxa dhulka laga helo oo dhan.
11 The family of the Danites set out from Zorah and Eshtaol with six hundred men armed with weapons of war.
Markaas reer Daan waxaa halkaas kaga bixitimay oo Sorcaah iyo Eshtaa'ool ka tegey lix boqol oo nin oo hubkii dagaalka xidhan.
12 They went up and encamped in Kiriath Jearim in Judah. Therefore they call that place Mahaneh Dan to this day. Behold, it is behind Kiriath Jearim.
Markaasay baxeen oo degeen Qiryad Yecaariim oo ku taal Yahuudah; sidaas daraaddeed meeshaas waxay u bixiyeen Maxaneh Daan, oo ilaa maanta waa la yidhaahdaa; oo waxay ka dambaysaa Qiryad Yecaariim.
13 They passed from there to the hill country of Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
Oo halkaasna way ka tageen oo waxay u kaceen dalkii buuraha lahaa oo reer Efrayim, markaasay yimaadeen gurigii Miikaah.
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 a carved image, and a molten image? Now therefore consider what you have to do.”
Kolkaasaa shantii nin oo waddanka Layish soo basaastay waxay ku jawaabeen oo walaalahood ku yidhaahdeen, War ma og tihiin inay guryahan ku jiraan eefod iyo teraafiim, iyo sanam xardhan iyo sanam la shubay? Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed ka fiirsada waxaad samayn lahaydeen.
15 They went over there and came to the house of the young Levite man, even to the house of Micah, and asked him how he was doing.
Oo intay halkaas ku soo leexdeen ayay yimaadeen gurigii ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa oo reer Laawi, kaasoo ahaa gurigii Miikaah, wayna nabdaadiyeen.
16 The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.
Markaasay lixdii boqol oo nin ee hubka dagaalka xidhnayd ee ahaa reer Daan ag istaageen iridda laga soo galo.
17 The five men who went to spy out the land went up, and came in there, and took the engraved image, the ephod, 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.
Markaasay shantii nin oo dalka soo basaastay yimaadeen oo gudaha galeen, oo waxay soo qaateen sanamkii xardhanaa, iyo eefodkii, iyo teraafiimkii, iyo sanamkii la shubay; oo wadaadkiina wuxuu iridda laga soo galo isla taagay lixdii boqol oo nin ee xidhnayd hubka dagaalka.
18 When these went into Micah’s house, and took the engraved image, the ephod, the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”
Oo kuwaasu markay galeen gurigii Miikaah, oo ay soo qaateen sanamkii xardhanaa, iyo eefodkii, iyo teraafiimkii, iyo sanamkii la shubay, ayuu wadaadkii ku yidhi, War maxaad samaynaysaan?
19 They said to him, “Hold your peace, put your hand on your mouth, and go with us. Be a father and a priest to us. 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?”
Oo iyana waxay isagii ku yidhaahdeen, Iska aamus, oo gacanta afka saar, ee haddaba na soo raac, oo noo noqo aabbe iyo wadaad; bal kee baa kuu roon, inaad nin keliya reerkiis wadaad u ahaatid, iyo inaad wadaad u ahaatid qabiil iyo jilib reer binu Israa'iil ka mid ah?
20 The priest’s heart was glad, and he took the ephod, the teraphim, and the engraved image, and went with the people.
Markaasuu wadaadkii qalbiga ka farxay, oo qaaday eefodkii iyo teraafiimkii, iyo sanamkii xardhanaa, oo wuxuu dhex galay dadka.
21 So they turned and departed, and put the little ones, the livestock, and the goods before them.
Markaasay noqdeen oo tageen, oo waxay iska horraysiiyeen dhallaankii, iyo xoolihii iyo alaabtii.
22 When they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah’s house gathered together and overtook the children of Dan.
Oo markay ka fogaadeen gurigii Miikaah ayaa raggii joogay guryihii u dhowaa gurigii Miikaah soo wada ururay, oo waxay gaadheen reer Daan.
23 As they called to the children of Dan, they turned their faces, and said to Micah, “What ails you, that you come with such a company?”
Oo waxay u dhawaaqeen reer Daan. Iyana intay ku soo jeesteen ayay Miikaah ku yidhaahdeen, War maxaa kaa qaylisiinaya oo aad guutada caynkan ah u soo kaxaysatay?
24 He said, “You have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and have gone away! What more do I have? How can you ask me, ‘What ails you?’”
Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaad iga qaadateen ilaahyadaydii aan sameeyey, iyo wadaadkaygii, oo waad tagteen, haddaba maxaan kaloo haystaa? Haddaba sidee baad ii leedihiin, War maxaa kaa qaylisiinaya?
25 The children of Dan said to him, “Don’t let your voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall on you, and you lose your life, with the lives of your household.”
Markaasay reer Daan ku yidhaahdeen, War hoy, codkaaga yaan dhexdayada laga maqlin, waaba intaasoo ay ragga cadhaysanu ku dilaan, oo aad weydaa naftaada iyo nafta reerkaagaba.
26 The children of Dan went their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.
Markaasay reer Daan iska tageen. Oo Miikaahna markuu arkay inay aad uga xoog badan yihiin ayuu iska noqday oo gurigiisii tegey.
27 They took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, and struck them with the edge of the sword; then they burned the city with fire.
Oo iyana waxay la tageen wixii Miikaah sameeyey, iyo wadaadkiisii, markaasay yimaadeen Layish, iyo dad xasilloon oo ammaan u fadhiya, oo waxay ku laayeen seef; oo magaaladiina dab bay ku gubeen.
28 There was no deliverer, because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone else; and it was in the valley that lies by Beth Rehob. They built the city and lived in it.
Oo badbaadiyena ma ay lahayn, maxaa yeelay, Siidoon way ka fogayd, oo ninnaba lama ay macaamiloon jirin; oo waxay ku tiil dooxada u dhow Beytrexob. Oo iyana intay magaaladii dhiseen ayay degeen.
29 They called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel; however the name of the city used to be Laish.
Oo magaaladii magaceediina waxay u bixiyeen Daan, oo waxay ku sammiyeen magicii awowgood Daan, kii u dhashay Israa'iil; habase yeeshee magaalada magaceedu wuxuu markii hore ahaa Layish.
30 The children 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 captivity of the land.
Markaasay reer Daan qotonsadeen sanamkii xardhanaa; oo Yoonaataan oo ahaa ina Gershoom oo ina Muuse ahaa iyo wiilashiisiiba waxay wadaaddo u ahaayeen qabiilkii reer Daan ilaa wakhtigii dalka la qabsaday.
31 So they set up for themselves Micah’s engraved image which he made, and it remained all the time that God’s house was in Shiloh.
Oo waxay qotonsadeen sanamkii xardhanaa oo Miikaah sameeyey, oo intii guriga Ilaah Shiiloh ku yiil oo dhan ayuu oolli jiray.
