Judges 18
1 In tho daies was no kyng in Israel; and the lynage of Dan souyte possessioun to it silf, to dwelle ther ynne; for `til to that dai it hadde not take eritage among other lynagis.
Nʼoge ahụ kwa, ụmụ Izrel enweghị eze ọbụla na-achị ha. Ebo Dan na-achọkwara onwe ha ebe obibi nke ga-abụ ala nke aka ha, nʼihi na ruo ugbu a, ha enwebeghị ike chụpụ ndị bi nʼala ahụ e kenyere ha dịka ihe nketa nke ha.
2 Therfor the sones of Dan senten fyue the strongeste men of her generacioun and meynee fro Saraa and Escahol, that thei schulden aspie the lond, and biholde diligentli. And thei seiden to hem, Go ye, and biholde the lond. And whanne thei goynge hadden come in to the hil of Effraym, and hadden entrid in to the hows of Mycha, thei restiden there.
Nʼihi nke a, ebo Dan sitere nʼikwu ise dị nʼebo ha họpụta mmadụ ise. Ndị a bụ dimkpa, na dike nʼagha, bụrụkwa ndị si nʼobodo Zora na Eshtaol. Ha zipụrụ mmadụ ise ndị a ka ha gaa nyochaa ala ahụ ha na-achọ ibi nʼime ya. Mgbe ndị ahụ jeruru obodo ugwu ugwu Ifrem, ha gara nọdụ ọdụ abalị nʼụlọ Maịka.
3 And thei knewen the voys of the yong wexynge dekene; and thei restiden in `the yn of hym, and seiden to hym, Who brouyte thee hidur? What doist thou here? For what cause woldist thou come hidur?
Mgbe ha nọ nso ụlọ Maịka, ha nụrụ asụsụ nwokorobịa onye Livayị ahụ bụ onye nchụaja. Ha kpọpụtara ya nʼotu akụkụ jụọ ya ajụjụ sị, “Onye kpọtara gị ebe a? Gịnị ka ị na-eme nʼebe a? Gịnị mere i ji bịa nʼebe a?”
4 Which answeride `to hem, Mychas yaf to me these and these thingis, and hiride me for meede, that Y be preest to hym.
Nwokorobịa ahụ kọwara ha ihe Maịka meere ya. Ọ gwara ha, “O nyere m ọrụ, abụkwa m onye nchụaja ya.”
5 Forsothe thei preieden hym, that he schulde counsele the Lord, and thei myyten wite, whether thei yeden in weie of prosperite, and the thing schulde haue effect.
Ha sịrị ya, “Ọ dị mma! Biko, jụta Chineke ase, chọpụta ma ije anyị a ọ ga-agakwa nke ọma.”
6 Which answeride to hem, Go ye with pees, the Lord biholdith youre weie, and the iourney whidur ye goon.
Onye nchụaja ahụ zara sị ha, “Gaa nʼudo. Ije unu nwere ngọzị Onyenwe anyị.”
7 Therfor the fyue men yeden, and camen to Lachys; and thei siyen the puple dwellynge ther ynne with outen ony drede, bi the custom of Sidonyis, sikur and resteful, for no man outirli ayenstood hem, and `of grete richessis, and fer fro Sidon, and departid fro alle men.
Ya mere, ndị ikom ise ndị ahụ biliri ije bịaruo nʼobodo Laish, ebe ha hụrụ na ndị ahụ na-ebi nʼudo, na-enweghị nsogbu ọbụla. Ha dịka ndị obodo Saịdọn, ndị onwe ha juru afọ, ndị na-adịghị atụ anya ihe egwu ọbụla. Ha bụ ndị bara ụba, ebe ọ dịghị ihe ọbụla kọrọ ụkọ nʼala ahụ. Ọzọ, ha bi nʼebe dị anya site nʼobodo ndị Saịdọn. Ọ dịkwaghị ihe ha na mmadụ ọbụla nwekọrọ.
8 And thei turneden ayen to her britheren in Saraa and Escahol; and thei answeriden to `britheren axynge what thei hadden do,
Mgbe ndị nnyocha ahụ laghachiri nʼobodo Zora na Eshtaol, ndị ebo Dan ibe ha jụrụ ha, sị, “Unu si aṅaa jee? Gịnị ka unu chọpụtara?”
9 Rise ye, and stie we to hem, for we siyen the lond ful riche and plenteuous; nyle ye be necgligent, nil ye ceesse, go we, and haue it in possessioun;
Ha zara sị, “Bịanụ, ka anyị gaa buso ha agha. Anyị ahụla ala ahụ, ọ dịkwa mma nke ukwu. Gịnị ka unu na-agbara nkịtị? Unu egbula oge ịba nʼebe ahụ nweta ya.
10 no trauel schal be; we schulen entre to sikir men, in to a largeste cuntrey; and the Lord schal bitake to vs a place, wher ynne is not pouert of ony thing of tho that ben brouyt forth in erthe.
Mgbe unu ruru ebe ahụ, unu ga-ahụ ndị na-adịghị atụ anya ihe egwu ọbụla, na ala sara mbara nke Chineke na-etinye unu nʼaka. Ala nke ihe ọbụla na-adịghị akọ nʼime ya.”
11 Therfor sixe hundrid men gird with armeris of batel yeden forth `of the kynrede of Dan, that is, fro Saraa and Escahol.
Ya mere, narị ndị agha isii ndị si nʼebo Dan biliri gaa ibuso obodo ahụ agha. Ha sikwa Zora na Eshtaol pụọ.
12 And thei stieden, and dwelliden in Cariathiarym of Juda, which place took fro that tyme the name of Castels of Dan, and is bihyndis the bak of Cariathiarym.
Mgbe ha na-aga, ha rutere Kiriat Jearim, nke dị na Juda, maa ụlọ ikwu ha nʼebe ahụ. Ọ bụ ya mere e ji akpọ ebe ahụ dị nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ Kiriat Jearim Mahane Dan ruo taa.
13 Fro thennus thei passiden in to the hil of Effraym; and whanne thei hadden come to the hows of Mychas, the fyue men,
Emesịa, ha pụrụ nʼala ugwu ugwu Ifrem, bịarute nʼụlọ Maịka.
14 that weren sent bifore to biholde the lond of Lachis, seiden to her other britheren, Ye knowen, that ephod, and theraphyn, and a grauun ymage and yotun is in these housis; se ye what plesith you.
Mmadụ ise ndị ahụ gara nnyochapụta ala (ya bụ ala Laish) ahụ gwara ụmụnna ha sị, “Unu maara na nʼime otu ụlọ ndị a na e nwere efọọd, nʼụfọdụ arụsị ezinaụlọ ndị dị iche iche, na oyiyi a kpụrụ akpụ nke eji ọla wuo? Ugbu a, maranụ ihe unu ga-eme.”
15 And whanne thei hadden bowid a litil, thei entriden in to the hows of the yong dekene, that was in the hows of Mychas, and thei gretten hym with pesible wordis.
Ya mere, ha gara nʼebe ahụ, banye nʼụlọ nwokorobịa Livayị ahụ, ebe o bi nʼụlọ Maịka, jụọ ya maka ọdịmma ya.
16 Forsothe sixe hundrid men stoden bifore the dore, so as thei weren armed. And thei, that entriden in to the `hows of the yong man, enforsiden to take awey the grauun ymage, and the ephod, and theraphin, and the yotun ymage; and the preest stood bifore the dore,
Narị ndị ikom Dan, ndị jikere ibu agha, guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama.
17 while sixe hundrid strongeste men abideden not fer.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị nnyocha ise ahụ banyere nʼime ụlọ ahụ buru arụsị ọla ahụ, na efọọd ahụ, na arụsị ezinaụlọ ndị ahụ, ma onye nchụaja ahụ na narị ndị agha isii ndị ji ngwa agha guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ ama.
18 Therfor thei that entriden token the grauun ymage, ephod, and idols, and the yotun ymage; to whiche the preest seide, What doen ye?
Mgbe ndị ikom ahụ banyere nʼụlọ Maịka buru arụsị ọla ahụ, efọọd ahụ na arụsị ezinaụlọ ndị ọzọ ahụ, onye nchụaja ahụ sịrị ha, “Gịnị ka unu na-eme?”
19 To whom thei answeriden, Be thou stille, and putte the fyngur on thi mouth, and come with vs, that we haue thee fadir and preest. What is betere to thee, that thou be preest in the hows of o man, whether in o lynage and meynee in Israel?
Ha zara sị ya, “Mechie ọnụ gị! Ekwukwala okwu ọbụla. Soro anyị bịa bụrụ nna anyị na onye nchụaja anyị. Ọ ga-abara gị uru karịa ịbụ onye nchụaja nye otu ebo na otu agbụrụ nʼIzrel, karịa ịbụ onye nchụaja nke naanị otu nwoke nʼime ezinaụlọ ya.”
20 And whanne he hadde herd this, he assentide to `the wordis of hem, and he took the ephod, and ydols, and the grauun ymage, and yede forth with hem.
Mgbe ahụ, obi tọrọ nwokorobịa onye nchụaja ahụ ụtọ isoro ha gaa. O buuru efọọd ahụ, arụsị ezinaụlọ ndị ọzọ ahụ na oyiyi ahụ a pịrị apị soro ndị ahụ gawa.
21 And whanne thei yeden, and hadden maad the litle children, and werk beestis, and al thing that was preciouse, to go bifor hem;
Ha malitekwara ije ha, ụmụntakịrị ha, na igwe anụ ụlọ ha, na ngwongwo ha ka ha tinyere nʼihu ha.
22 and whanne thei weren now fer fro `the hows of Mychas, men that dwelliden in the housis of Mychas, crieden togidere, and sueden,
Mgbe ha gamitụrụ nke nta site nʼụlọ Maịka, ndị ikom ndị bi nso ụlọ Maịka kpọkọtara onwe ha chụso ndị Dan, gafee ha.
23 and bigunnun to crye `aftir the bak. Whiche whanne thei hadden biholde, seiden to Mychas, What wolt thou to thee? whi criest thou?
Maịka na ndị so ya na-etikwa mkpu na-akpọku ha sị ha kwụsị ije ha. Ma ndị ebo Dan jụrụ Maịka ajụjụ sị ya, “Gịnị na-eme gị iji kpọpụta ndị gị ka ha bịa lụso anyị agha?”
24 Which answeride, Ye han take awey my goddis whiche Y made to me, and the preest, and alle thingis whiche Y haue; and ye seien, What is to thee?
Ọ zaghachiri, “Unu chịịrị chi ndị m mere, kpọrọ onye nchụaja m pụọ. Gịnị ọzọ ka m nwekwara? Olee otu unu si ajụ, ‘Gịnị na-eme gị?’”
25 And the sones of Dan seiden to hym, Be war, lest thou speke more to vs, and men styrid in soule come to thee, and thou perische with al thin hows.
Ndị ikom Dan zara sị ya, “Lezie anya kpachara anya banyere ụdị okwu ị na-ekwu. Nʼihi na i kwuo ụdị okwu a gaa nʼihu, ụfọdụ ndị ikom isi na-anụ ọkụ ga-abịa lụso gị agha gbuo gị na ndị ezinaụlọ gị.”
26 And so thei yeden forth in the iourney bigunnun. Forsothe Mychas siy, that thei weren strongere than he, and turnede ayen in to his hows.
Ya mere, ndị ebo Dan gbara ya nkịtị na-aga ebe ha na-aga. Mgbe Maịka hụrụ na ha dị ọtụtụ karịa ya, ọ hapụrụ ha, tụgharịa laghachi nʼụlọ ya.
27 Forsothe sixe hundrid men token the preest, and the thingis whiche we biforseiden, and camen in to Lachis to the puple restynge and sikur; and thei smytiden hem bi the scharpnesse of swerd, and bitoken the citee to brennyng,
Ụmụ Dan chịịrị arụsị ahụ niile Maịka mere, durukwa onye nchụaja ya gawa nʼobodo Laish, obodo nọ nʼudo, nke na-adịghị atụ anya ihe egwu ọbụla. Ha busoro ndị obodo ahụ agha, suo obodo ahụ ọkụ.
28 while no man outirli yaf help, for thei dwelliden fer fro Sydon, and hadden not ony thing of felouschipe and cause with ony of men. Forsothe the citee was set in the cuntrei of Roob; which citee thei bildiden eft, and dwelliden ther ynne;
Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla nwere ike bịa inyere ndị obodo ahụ aka nʼihi ha bi nʼebe dị anya site nʼobodo Saịdọn. O nwekwaghị obodo ọbụla ha na ha na-emekọrịta. Obodo a dị na ndagwurugwu dị nso na Bet-Rehob. Emesịa, ndị ebo Dan wughachiri obodo ahụ ọzọ, biri nʼime ya.
29 while the name of the citee was clepid Dan, bi the name of her fadir, whom Israel hadde gendrid, which citee was seid Lachis bifore.
Ọ bụ nke a mere e ji kpọọ aha obodo ahụ Dan, nke bụ aha nna ha ochie, onye bụ nwa Izrel. Ma tupu ebo Dan ebibie ya, aha obodo a nʼoge gara aga bụ Laish.
30 And `thei settiden there the grauun ymage, and Jonathas, sone of Jerson, sone of Moises, and `Jonathas sones, preestis, in the lynage of Dan, til in to the dai of her caitifte.
Nʼebe ahụ ndị Dan guzobeere onwe ha arụsị, Jonatan, nwa Geshọm, nwa Mosis, na ụmụ ya ndị ikom niile ghọọrọ ndị nchụaja nye ebo Dan ruo nʼoge a dọtara ala ahụ nʼagha.
31 And the idol of Mychas dwellide at hem, in al the tyme `in which the hows of God was in Silo. In tho daies was no kyng in Israel.
Ndị ebo Dan nọgidere na-efe arụsị ndị ahụ Maịka mere oge ahụ niile ụlọ nzute Chineke dị na Shaịlo.
