Lunakanawai 18
1 I A manawa, aole alii maluna o ka Iseraela, a i kela mau la e imi ana o ka Dana i aina kahi e noho ai no lakou, no ka mea, a hiki mai ia wa, aole i ili mai ko Dana aina iwaena o na ohana o ka Iseraela.
In those days there was no king in Israel, and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought for themselves an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day [their lot] had not fallen to them for inheritance among the tribes of Israel.
2 Hoouna ae la na mamo a Dana i elima kanaka o ka lakou ohana, no ko lakou aina, he poe kanaka koa, no Zora, a no Esetaola, e kiu i ka aina, a makaikai; a i mai la lakou, E hele, e makaikai i ka aina. A hiki lakou i ka mauna o Eperaima, i ka hale o Mika, kipa ae la lakou ilaila.
And the children of Dan sent of their family five men of their whole number, men of valour, from Zoreah and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to examine it; and they said to them, Go, examine the land. And they came to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.
3 A ma ka hale o Mika lakou, maopopo ia lakou ka leo o ke kanaka hou o ka Levi; kipa ae la lakou ilaila, i ae la ia ia, Nawai oe i kai mai nei? Heaha hoi kau e hana nei ma keia wahi? Heaha kau o nei?
When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man, the Levite; and they turned in thither, and said to him, Who brought thee hither? and what doest thou in this [place]? and what hast thou here?
4 I mai la ia, Penei, a penei ka hana ana o Mika ia'u, a ua hoolimalima mai ia'u, a owau no kona kahuna.
And he said to them, Thus and thus has Micah done to me; and he has hired me, and I am his priest.
5 I aku la lakou ia ia, E ninau aku paha oe i ke Akua, i ike makou, e pomaikai paha ko makou hele, e hele nei.
And they said to him, Inquire, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way on which we go shall be prosperous.
6 I mai la ke kahuna ia lakou, O hele me ka pomaikai, he pololei ia Iehova ka hele a oukou e hele nei.
And the priest said to them, Go in peace: before Jehovah is your way on which ye go.
7 Alaila, hele aku la ua mau kanaka la elima, a hiki aku la i Laisa, ike iho la i ko laila kanaka e noho makau ole ana, ma ke ano o ko Zidona, ua malie, aole i makau, aole mea e noho alii ana ma ka honua nei i hana ino mai; a ua loihi lakou, mai Zidona aku, aohe o lakou mea pu me kekahi kanaka e.
And the five men departed, and came to Laish; and they saw the people that were therein, dwelling securely, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and no one was in the land who possessed authority, that might put [them] to shame in anything; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had nothing to do with [any] man.
8 A hoi mai la lakou i ko lakou poe hoahanau ma Zora, a me Esetaola. I aku la ko lakou poe hoahanau ia lakou, Heaha ka oukou?
— And they came to their brethren at Zoreah and Eshtaol. And their brethren said to them, What [say] ye?
9 I mai la lakou, E ala mai, i pii ku e kakou ia lakou no; ka mea, ua ike makou i ka aina, aia hoi, ua maikai loa ia; a e noho malie ana oukou? Mai hoomolowa oukou i ka pii aku, a komo, a hoopio i ka aina.
And they said, Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good; and ye are still! Be not slothful to go, to enter to take possession of the land.
10 I ko oukou hele ana, e hiki no oukou i ka poe kanaka, e makau ole ana, a i ka aina nui; no ka mea, ua haawi mai ke Akua ia aina i ko oukou lima. Aole hoi i nele ia aina i kekahi mea o ka honua.
When ye go in, ye shall come to a people secure, and the land is spacious in every direction; for God has given it into your hands; [it is] a place where there is no want of anything that is on the earth.
11 Hele aku la, mai ia wahi aku, no ka ohana a Dana, mai Zora, a me Esetaola aku, eono haneri kanaka i kahikoia i na mea kaua.
And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zoreah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men girded with weapons of war.
12 Pii aku la lakou a hoomoana iho la ma Kiriatiarima ma ka Iuda: nolaila, kapa aku la lakou ia wahi, o Mahanedana, a hiki mai i neia la; aia no ma ke kua o Kiriatiarima.
And they went up and encamped in Kirjath-jearim, in Judah; therefore they call that place Mahaneh-Dan to this day: behold, it is behind Kirjath-jearim.
13 A malaila aku lakou i hele ai a i ka mauna o Eperaima, a hiki aku la i ka hale o Mika.
And they passed thence to mount Ephraim, and came to the house of Micah.
14 Alaila, ninau ae la na kanaka elima, i hele aku e makaikai i ka aina o Laisa, i aku la i ko lakou poe hoahanau, Ua ike anei oukou, aia maloko o keia mau hale, he epoda, a he terapima, a me ke kii, a me ke kii hooheheeia? Nolaila ea, e noonoo oukou i ka oukou mea e hana'i.
Then the five men that had gone to spy out the country of Laish spoke and said to their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? And now ye know what to do.
15 Kipa ae la lakou ilaila, a hiki ae la i ke kanaka hou o ka Levi, i ka hale hoi o Mika, a aloha ae la ia ia.
And they turned thither, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, the house of Micah, and inquired after his welfare.
16 Ku iho la ma ka ipuka, kela poe kanaka eono haneri i kahikoia i na mea kaua, o ka poe mamo hoi a Dana.
And the six hundred men of the children of Dan, girded with their weapons of war, stood at the entrance of the gate.
17 Pii ae la a komo ilaila na kanaka elima i pii aku e makaikai i ka aina, a lawe lakou i ke kii, a me ka epoda, a me ke terapima, a me ke kii i hooheheeia; a ku mai la ke kahuna ma ka ipuka me na kanaka eono haneri i kahikoia i na mea kaua.
And the five men that had gone to spy out the land went up, entered in thither, [and] took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image; and the priest stood at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men that were girded with weapons of war.
18 Hele aku la keia poe iloko o ka hale o Mika, a lawe mai la i ke kii, a me ka epoda, a me ke terapima, a me ke kii i hooheheeia. Alaila, i aku la ke kahuna ia lakou, Heaha ka oukou e hana nei?
And these came into Micah's house, and took the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. And the priest said to them, What do ye?
19 I mai la lakou ia ia, Hamau, e kau oe i kou lima ma kou waha, a e hele pu me makou, i lilo oe i makua no makou, a i kahuna hoi. He mea maikai anei ia oe i kahuna oe no ka hale o ke kanaka hookahi, no ka ohana paha, a no ka hanauna iloko o ka Iseraela?
And they said to him, Hold thy peace, lay thy hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for thee to be a priest for the house of one man, or to be priest for a tribe and a family in Israel?
20 Olioli iho la ka naau o ke kahuna, a lawe ae la oia i ka epoda, a me ke terapima, a me ke kii, a hele aku la iwaena o na kanaka.
Then the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.
21 Huli ae la lakou a hele aku la, a hoonoho iho la i ka poe opio, a me na holoholona, a me ka ukana imua o lakou.
And they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the baggage before them.
22 A hiki lakou i kahi mamao mai ka hale o Mika aku, alaila, hoakoakoaia mai la na kanaka o kauhale e kokoke ana ma ka hale o Mika, a hahai aku la i na mamo a Dana.
They were already far from the house of Micah, when the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
23 Hea aku la lakou i na mamo a Dana; a huli mai ko lakou maka, i mai la ia Mika, Heaha kau i akoakoa mai nei?
And they cried to the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said to Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?
24 I aku la keia, Ua lawe aku oukou i ko'u mau akua, a'u i hana'i, a me ke kahuna, a ua hele oukou. Heaha hoi ka mea i koe ia'u? Heaha hoi keia mea a oukou i ninau mai nei ia'u? Heaha kau?
And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away; and what have I more? and what is this that ye say to me, What aileth thee?
25 I mai la na mamo a Dana ia ia, Mai lohe hou ia kou leo iwaena o makou, o lele aku maluna o oukou na kanaka i walania, a lilo kou ola, a me ke ola o ko ka hale ou.
And the children of Dan said to him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest men of exasperated spirit run upon you, and thou lose thy life and the lives of thy household.
26 Hele aku la na mamo a Dana i ko lakou wahi i hele ai. A ike iho la o Mika, ua oi ko lakou ikaika i kona, huli mai la ia, a hoi ae la i kona hale.
And the children of Dan went their way; and Micah saw that they were too strong for him, and he turned and went back to his house.
27 Lawe lakou i na mea a Mika i hana'i, a me kona kahuna, a hele aku la i Laisa, i ka poe kanaka e noho malie ana, me ka makau ole; a luku aku la keia poe ia lakou i ka maka o ka pahikaua, a puhi aku la i ko lakou kulanakauhale i ke ahi.
And they took that which Micah had made, and the priest that he had had, and came upon Laish, upon a people quiet and secure; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burned the city with fire.
28 Aohe mea nana i hoopakele, no ka mea, ua loihi ia mai Zidona aku, aole hoi lakou he mea pu me kekahi kanaka e. Aia no ia ma ke kahawai e kokoke ana i Beterehoba. Hana iho la lakou i kulanakauhale, a noho no ilaila.
And there was no deliverer, for it was far from Zidon, and they had nothing to do with [any] man; and it [lay] in the valley that is by Beth-rehob. And they built the city and dwelt therein.
29 Kapa iho la lakou i ka inoa o ia kulanakauhale, o Dana, mamuli o Dana, o ko lakou kupuna kane, ka mea i hanau na Iseraela; aka, o Laisa ka inoa kahiko o ua kulanakauhale la.
And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel; howbeit Laish was the name of the city at the first.
30 Kukulu iho la na mamo a Dana i ke kii; a o Ionetana, ke keiki a Geresoma, ke keiki a Manase, oia, a me kana mau keiki na kahuna no ka ohana a Dana, a hiki i ka la i pio ai ka aina.
And the children of Dan set up the graven image; and Jehonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses; he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
31 Kukulu lakou i ke kii o Mika, ana i hana'i, i ka manawa a pau i ku ai ka hale o ke Akua ma Silo.
And they set up for themselves Micah's graven image, which he had made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
