< 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.
Na mikolo wana, bana ya Isalaele bazalaki na mokonzi te, mpe bato ya libota ya Dani bazalaki koluka esika ya kovanda; pamba te kino na tango wana, bazwaki nanu ya bango libula te kati na mabota nyonso ya Isalaele.
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.
Boye, bana ya libota ya Dani batindaki mibali mitano ya libota na bango, kowuta na Tsorea mpe na Eshitaoli, mpo na kokende kononga mpe koyeba mokili yango. Balobaki na bango: « Bokende koyeba mokili yango ndenge ezali. » Mibali mitano yango bakotaki na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi kino na ndako ya Mika, epai wapi balekisaki butu.
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?
Tango bakomaki pembeni ya ndako ya Mika, bayokaki mongongo ya elenge mobali Molevi. Babalukaki epai ye azalaki mpe balobaki na ye: — Nani amemaki yo awa? Ozali kosala nini na esika oyo? Mpo na nini ozali awa?
4 Which answeride `to hem, Mychas yaf to me these and these thingis, and hiride me for meede, that Y be preest to hym.
Elenge mobali ayebisaki bango: — Tala makambo oyo Mika asali mpo na ngai: Azwi ngai na mosala mpe akomisi ngai nganga-nzambe na ye.
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.
Balobaki na ye: — Tunela biso epai ya Nzambe mpo ete toyeba soki mobembo na biso ekozala malamu.
6 Which answeride to hem, Go ye with pees, the Lord biholdith youre weie, and the iourney whidur ye goon.
Nganga-nzambe azongiselaki bango: — Bokende na kimia, Yawe andimi mobembo na bino.
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.
Mibali mitano yango bakendeki mpe bakomaki na Laishi. Bamonaki ete, kuna, bazali na kimia mpe na kozanga nungunungu lokola bato ya Sidoni, oyo bazalaki na kimia mpe na kozanga bobangi. Mokonzi moko te ya mboka azalaki konyokola bango. Bazalaki mosika na bato ya Sidoni mpe basalaki boyokani ata na moto moko te.
8 And thei turneden ayen to her britheren in Saraa and Escahol; and thei answeriden to `britheren axynge what thei hadden do,
Tango mibali mitano yango bazongaki na Tsorea mpe na Eshitaoli, bandeko na bango batunaki bango: — Sango nini bomemeli biso?
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;
Bazongisaki: — Totelema, tokende kobotola mokili na bango! Tomoni ete mokili yango ezali malamu penza. Boni! Mpo na nini bovandi kimia boye? Bozala bagoyigoyi te mpo na kokende kokota mpe kobotola mokili yango.
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.
Tango bokokota kuna, bokomona bato bazali na kimia, mpe bazali na mokili monene oyo Nzambe akabi na maboko na bino, mokili oyo ezangi ata eloko moko te kati na biloko nyonso oyo ezalaka na mabele.
11 Therfor sixe hundrid men gird with armeris of batel yeden forth `of the kynrede of Dan, that is, fro Saraa and Escahol.
Mibali nkama motoba ya libota ya Dani, elongo na bibundeli na bango, balongwaki na Tsorea mpe na Eshitaoli.
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.
Bakendeki kotonga molako na bango na Kiriati-Yearimi, kati na mokili ya Yuda. Yango wana, kino na mokolo ya lelo, babengaka esika yango Maane Dani; ezali na ngambo ya weste ya Kiriati-Yearimi.
13 Fro thennus thei passiden in to the hil of Effraym; and whanne thei hadden come to the hows of Mychas, the fyue men,
Balongwaki wana mpe bakendeki na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi kino na ndako ya Mika.
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.
Bongo mibali mitano oyo banongaki mokili ya Laishi balobaki na bandeko na bango: « Boni, boyebi ete kati na ndako oyo tovandi, ezali na efode, bikeko mike-mike ya ndako mpe nzambe ya ekeko basala na ebende oyo banyangwisa na moto? Boyeba likambo nini bokosala. »
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.
Bongo babalukaki wana, na ndako epai wapi bazalaki mpe bakendeki na ndako ya elenge mobali Molevi, na ndako ya Mika, mpe bapesaki ye mbote.
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,
Mibali nkama motoba ya libota ya Dani, oyo bamilengelaki mpo na bitumba batelemaki na ekotelo ya ekuke.
17 while sixe hundrid strongeste men abideden not fer.
Bato mitano oyo banongaki mokili bakotaki kati na ndako mpe bazwaki efode, bikeko mike-mike ya ndako mpe nzambe ya ekeko basala na ebende banyangwisa na moto. Nganga-nzambe atelemaki liboso ya ekuke elongo na mibali nkama motoba oyo bamilengelaki mpo na bitumba.
18 Therfor thei that entriden token the grauun ymage, ephod, and idols, and the yotun ymage; to whiche the preest seide, What doen ye?
Tango mibali bakotaki na ndako ya Mika mpe bazwaki efode, bikeko mike-mike ya ndako mpe nzambe ya ekeko basala na ebende banyangwisa na moto, nganga-nzambe alobaki na bango: — Likambo nini bozali kosala?
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?
Bazongisaki: — Kanga monoko! Tia loboko na monoko na yo, yaka elongo na biso mpe zala tata na biso mpe nganga-nzambe na biso. Boni, likambo nini eleki malamu: kozala nganga-nzambe ya moto to kozala nganga-nzambe ya libota mpe ya etuka moko ya Isalaele?
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.
Nganga-nzambe atondaki na esengo, akamataki efode, banzambe ya bikeko ya ndako mpe bikeko mosusu; akendeki elongo na bato ya libota ya Dani.
21 And whanne thei yeden, and hadden maad the litle children, and werk beestis, and al thing that was preciouse, to go bifor hem;
Babalukaki mpe bazongelaki nzela na bango ya mobembo, batiaki liboso bana na bango ya mike, bibwele mpe bozwi na bango ya talo.
22 and whanne thei weren now fer fro `the hows of Mychas, men that dwelliden in the housis of Mychas, crieden togidere, and sueden,
Tango bakomaki mwa mosika na ndako ya Mika, Mika mpe bato oyo bazalaki pene ya ndako na ye batelemaki na koganga mpe balandaki libota ya Dani.
23 and bigunnun to crye `aftir the bak. Whiche whanne thei hadden biholde, seiden to Mychas, What wolt thou to thee? whi criest thou?
Awa bazalaki kobelela sima na libota ya Dani, bana ya Dani babalukaki mpe batunaki Mika: — Likambo nini ezwi yo mpo ete omemela biso ebele ya bato boye?
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?
Mika azongisaki: — Bozwi banzambe na ngai, oyo nasalaki, nganga-nzambe na ngai, mpe bokeyi na bino; eloko nini natikali na yango lisusu? Ndenge nini bokoki kotuna ngai: « Likambo nini ezwi yo? »
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.
Bato ya libota ya Dani bazongiselaki ye: — Tika ete mongongo na yo eyokana te kati na biso, noki te bato ya kanda bakokweyela yo mpe bakoboma yo elongo na libota na yo mobimba.
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.
Bana ya libota ya Dani balandaki nzela na bango. Tango Mika amonaki ete bana ya Dani baleki ye na makasi, abalukaki mpe azongaki na ndako na ye.
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,
Bana ya libota ya Dani babotolaki biloko oyo Mika asalaki mpe nganga-nzambe na ye. Bongo bakendeki kobundisa engumba Laishi, mboka ya bato ya kimia mpe ya kozanga nungunungu; babomaki bato nyonso na mopanga mpe batumbaki engumba na bango na moto.
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;
Moto moko te ayaki kobikisa mboka wana, pamba te ezalaki mosika na Sidoni mpe esalaki boyokani te elongo na ekolo mosusu. Engumba yango ezalaki na lubwaku oyo ezali pembeni ya Beti-Reobi. Bana ya libota ya Dani batongaki wana engumba na bango mpe bavandaki kuna.
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.
Bapesaki engumba yango kombo « Dani. » Ezalaki kombo ya koko na bango, Dani, mwana mobali ya Isalaele. Na kala, bazalaki kobenga engumba yango Laishi.
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.
Bana ya libota ya Dani batelemisaki ekeko mpo na bango moko mpe batiaki Jonatan, mwana mobali ya Gerishomi, mwana mobali ya Manase mpe koko ya Moyize, mpo ete akoma Nganga-Nzambe ya bato ya libota ya Dani elongo na bana na ye. Basalaki mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe mpo na libota ya Dani kino tango bato ya mokili bakendeki na bowumbu.
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.
Bakobaki kosalela bikeko oyo Mika asalaki na tango nyonso oyo Ndako ya Nzambe ezalaki na Silo.
