Jasi Vahere 18

1 Hagi ana knafina Israeli vahe'mokizmi kinia omani'nege'za Dani naga'mo'za manisaza mopagu hake'za vano hu'naze. Na'ankure Israeli vahe'mo'zama mopama erizafina zahufa zamagra mopa e'ori'naze.

In those days there was no king in Israel. The tribe of the descendants of Dan was looking for a territory to live in, for up to that day they had not received any inheritance from among the tribes of Israel.

2 E'ina hu'negu Dani naga'mo'za 5fu'a hankavematiza ha'ma nehaza vahetamina huzmantazage'za Zora kumate'ene Estaoli kumateti'enena manisaza mopagu afure'za kenaku vu'naze. Hagi Efraemi agona kokampima nevu'za, Maika nompi umase'naze.

The people of Dan sent five men from the whole number of their tribe, men who were experienced warriors from Zorah and from Eshtaol, to scout the land on foot, and to look it over. They said to them, “Go and look over the land.” They came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and they spent the night there.

3 Hagi zamagrama Maika nonte'ma erava'oma nehu'za, Livae nehaza ne'mofo ageru nentahi'za vugantite'za amanage hu'za antahige'naze. Iza kavreno amafina e'ne? Na'a ama kumapina emenerine? Nankna eri'zanka'a amafina me'ne?

When they were near Micah's house, they recognized the speech of the young Levite. So they stopped and asked him, “Who brought you here? What are you doing in this place? Why are you here?”

4 Anage hazageno amanage huno ana ne'mo'a zamasami'ne, Maika'a amanage huno hunante'ne, mizasegantegahuanki pristi vaheni'a manio huno hige'na, pristi ne'a mani'nogeno mizasenenante.

He said to them, “This is what Micah has done for me: He has hired me to become his priest.”

5 Hagi anante amanage hu'za hu'naze, Amama nevuna kamo'a knare hurantegahifi Ramofona antahigenka ko.

They said to him, “Please seek the advice of God, so we may know whether the journey we are going on will be successful.”

6 Anagema hazageno'a pristi ne'mo'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ramo'a vugota huramantegahianki tamarimpa frune viho.

The priest said to them, “Go in peace. Yahweh will lead you in the way you should go.”

7 Anagema hige'za ana 5fu'a vene'nemo'za ana kumara netre'za Laisi kumate vu'naze. Ana kumate'ma vu'za ome kazana, ana kumapi vahe'mo'za Saidoni vahe kna hu'za magozankura zamagesa ontahi zamarimpa frune mago zankura koro osu' mani'naze. Hagi ana vahe'mo'za mago zankura upara osu feno vahe mani'naze. Na'ankure mopazmimo'a knare'za hu'ne. Hagi Saidoni vahera afete'are mani'nazageno mago vahe'mo'e huno zamagri tavaontera omani'naze.

Then the five men left and came to Laish, and they saw that the people were living in safety, in the same way the Sidonians lived, undisturbed and secure. There was no one who conquered them or who oppressed them in any way in the land. They lived far away from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone.

8 Hagi ana 5fu'a vahe'mo'zama nagazmirega Zora kumate'ene Estaoli kumate'enema azageno'a, zamafuhemo'za amanage hu'naze. Na'a ome ketma erifore hu'nazafi huama hiho?

They returned to their tribe in Zorah and Eshtaol. Their relatives asked them, “What is your report?”

9 Hu'za zamantahigazageno, ana vahe'mo'za anage hu'naze, otinketa vuta ome zamaheta mopazmia hanaramneno! Na'ankure mopama ke'nonana knare'zantfa hu'nea mopa me'ne. Na'anku aveganentaze? Ana mopama omerizankura korora huta rege'regera osiho.

They said, “Come! Let us attack them! We have seen the land and it is very good. Are you doing nothing? Do not be slow to attack and conquer the land.

10 Hagi ana kumate'ma vu'nanana ana mopafi vahe'mo'za mago'zankura zamagesa ontahi zamarimpa fru hu'za mani'naze. Na'ankure ana mopa ra huno mikazamo'a avite'nea mopa Anumzamo'a ko tami'ne.

When you go, you will come to a people who think they are secure, and the land is wide! God has given it to you—a place that does not lack anything in the land.”

11 Hagi anagema hazageno'a Dani nagara 600'a venenemo'za Zora kumateti'ene Estaoli kumatetira ha'zana retro hu'za hatera vu'naze.

Six hundred men of the tribe of Dan, armed with weapons of war, set out from Zorah and Eshtaol.

12 Hagi Kiriat-jearimie nehaza kumate zage fre kaziga Juda mopafi seli nona ome ki'za mani'naze. Hagi e'ina kumakura menina Mahane-Danie hu'za agia nehaze.

They went up and camped at Kiriath Jearim, in Judah. This is why people called that place Mahaneh Dan to this day; it is west of Kiriath Jearim.

13 Hagi anantetira atre'za Efraemi agona kokampi e'za, Maika nonte ehanati'naze.

They went away from there to the hill country of Ephraim and came to the house of Micah.

14 Hagi 5fu'a vene'nema Laisi mopama afure'za ke'naza vene'nemo'za ruga'a naga'mokizmia amanage hu'za zamasami'naze. Pristi vahe'mo'zama zamimizare'ma nehaza kukena efotigi, nompima nentaza havi anumzantaminki, antre'zama tro'ma hu'naza amema'agi, aenima kre'za tro'ma hu'naza amema'ama ama nontamimpima me'neana ontahi'nazo. E'ina hu'negu menina na'a hugahazafi tamagesa antahiho?

Then the five men who had gone to scout the country of Laish said to their relatives, “Do you know that in these houses there are an ephod, household gods, a carved figure, and a cast metal figure? Decide now what you will do.”

15 Anage nehu'za ana 5fu'a vene'nemo'za kana atre'za, Maika nompima ana Livaie ne'ma nemanifinka ufre'za musenkea ana nera ome hunte'za, hufrufra kea hunte'naze.

So they turned in there and came to the house of the young Levite, at the house of Micah, and they greeted him.

16 Hagi Dani nagapinti ana 600'a sondia vahe'mo'za maka ha'zazmia eri'za ana kumamofo kafante oti'za mani'ne'za,

Now the six hundred Danites, armed with weapons of war, stood at the entrance of the gate.

17 ana pristi ne'ene nanekea nehazageno, ana 5fu'a venenemo'za Maika naga'mo'zama mono'ma nehazafinka vu'za pristi vahe'mo'zama zamimizare'ma nehaza kukena efotigi, nompima nentaza havi anumzantaminki, antre'zama tro'ma hu'naza amema'agi, aenima kre'za tro'ma hu'naza amema'anena omeri'za atirami'naze. Ana nehazage'za pristi ne'ene 600'a sondia vahe'mo'za ha'zana eri'ne'za kuma kafante otine'za ke'naze.

The five men who had gone to scout out the land went there and they took the carved figure, the ephod, the household gods, and the cast metal figure, while the priest stood by the opening of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.

18 Hagi ana venenemo'zama Maika nompima umreri'zama pristi vahe'mo'zama zamimizare'ma nehaza kukena efotigi, nompima nentaza havi anumzantaminki, antre'zama tro'ma hu'naza amema'agi, aenima kre'za tro'ma hu'naza amema'anena eri'za atiramizageno'a, ana pristi ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, na'a nehaze? Huno zamantahigege'za,

When these went into Micah's house and took the carved figure, the ephod, the household gods, and the cast metal figure, the priest said to them, “What are you doing?”

19 amanage hu'naze. Taganenka kea osu tavaririnka enka tagri nerafaza nehunka, pristi vaheti emanio. Magoke naga'mofo pristima mani zamo knarera hu'nefi, maka Israeli vahepima mago naga nofimofo pristima mani'zamo knarera hu'noe? Hu'za hu'naze.

They said to him, “Be quiet! Put your hand on your mouth and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be priest for the house of one man, or to be priest for a tribe and a clan in Israel?”

20 Anagema hazageno'a pristi ne'mo'a muse nehuno ana pristi kukenane, havi anumzane, antre'za trohunte amema'anena erino ana vahe'tamine vu'ne.

The priest's heart was glad. He took the ephod, the household gods, and the carved figure, and went along with the people.

21 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za anantetira antre'za mofavrezmine afuzagazmine zamazerigota hu'za fenozazminena eri'za vu'naze.

So they turned and went away. They put the small children in front of themselves, as well as the cattle and their possessions.

22 Hagi Maika noma agatere'za afete'ma vutazageno'a, Maika no tavaonte'ma noma ki'naza vahe'mo'za emeritru hu'za Dani nagara zamavariri'naze.

When they were a good distance from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah's house were called together, and they caught up with the Danites.

23 Hagi ana vahe'mo'za rankege hu'za vazageno Dani naga'mo'za rukrahe hu'za amanage hu'za Maikankura hu'naze, Nagafare vahera zamavaretru huntenka, rankegera hunka neane? Hu'za antahigazageno,

They shouted to the Danites, and they turned and said to Micah, “Why have you been called together?”

24 Maika'a amange huno kenona hu'ne, anumzantamima tro'ma hunte'noa anumzantamini'a maka eri vaganereta pristi ne'nianena avreta neaze. Hagi mago zani'a otreta eri hana huta neazanki, nahigeta e'inahura nehaze?

He said, “You stole the gods that I made, you have taken my priest, and you are leaving. What else do I have left? How can you ask me, 'What is bothering you?'”

25 Hige'za Dani naga'mo'za amanage hu'naze, Kva hunenka e'inagea huo! Amama neompina ame arimpama ahe vahera neankino, zamarimpama ahenige'za nagaka'ane kagri'enena tamahe frigahaze.

The people of Dan said to him, “You should not let us hear you say anything, or some very angry men will attack you, and you and your family will be killed.”

26 Anage nehu'za Dani naga'mo'za vu'naze. Hagi Maika'ma keama Dani naga'mo'za rama'a vahe'ma vazageno ha'ma huzamantega'ma nosuno'a ete rukrahe huno noma'arege vu'ne.

Then the people of Dan went their way. When Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.

27 Hagi Maikama tro'ma hunte'nea kaza osu anumzatamine, Dani naga'mo'za e'neriza pristi ne'anena nevre'za eza mago zanku'ma zamagesa ontahi fruma hu'za mani'naza vahe kumapi Laisi e'naze. Hagi eza ana kumapi vahera eme zamahehna nehu'za, kumazimia teve taginte'naze.

The people of Dan took what Micah had made, as well as his priest, and they came to Laish, to a people who were undisturbed and secure and they struck them with the edge of the sword and burned the city.

28 Hagi Laisi kumate vahera mago'mo'e huno eme zamaza osu'ne. Na'ankure Saidoni vahera afete manizageno, Laisi vahe'mo'za mago vahe'enena tragote'za omani'naze. Ana zana Beth-Rehob kuma tava'onte me'nea agupofi fore hu'ne.

There was no one to rescue them because it was a long way from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone. It was in the valley that is near Beth Rehob. The Danites rebuilt the city and lived there.

29 Hagi Dani naga'mo'za ana agupofi ete kumara trohuza agima anteminazana Dani kumare hu'za Israeli nemofo nezmageho agire asamre'naze. Hagi ana kumakura kora Laisie hu'za agia nehazane.

They named the city Dan, the name of Dan their ancestor, who was one of Israel's sons. But the name of the city used to be Laish.

30 Hagi Dani naga'mo'za ana kaza osu havi anumzana azeri retrurente'za, Gesomu nemofo Mosese negeho Jonatani azeri otizageno pristi ne'zimia mani'ne. Hagi Dani nagapina Jonatanimpinti'ma fore'ma haza vahe'mo'za pristia maniza neazageno, ha' vahe'mo'za eme zamahe'za zamavare'za kina ome huzamante'naze.

The people of Dan set up the carved figure for themselves. Jonathan son of Gershom, son of Moses, he and his sons were priests for the tribe of the Danites until the day of the land's captivity.

31 Hagi Anumzamofo seli mono nomo'ma Sailoma me'nea knafina, Dani naga'mo'za Maika'ma tro hunte'nea kaza osu havi anumzante monora hunte'naze.

So they worshiped Micah's carved figure that he made as long as the house of God was at Shiloh.
