18 Kwathi amadoda la esengene endlini kaMikha athatha isithombe esibaziweyo, lesembatho semahlombe, labanye onkulunkulu basendlini kanye lesithombe esibunjiweyo, umphristi wathi kubo, “Lenzani na?”
Ke mwet inge elos utyak nu in lohm sel Micah ac usla nuknuk ephod sac ac ma sruloala se ma orekla ke sak ac nukumyukla ke silver, oayapa ma sruloala saya ma oan in lohm sac, mwet tol sac el siyuk selos, “Mea kowos oru ingan?”
19 Amphendula athi, “Thula! Ungatsho lutho. Woza uhambe lathi, ube ngubaba lomphristi wethu. Akungcono yini ukuthi usebenzele isizwana losendo lwako-Israyeli njengomphristi kulabendlu yomuntu oyedwa?”

Na elos forla ac mutawauk fahsr, ac tulik natulos, kosro natulos, ac ma lalos nukewa fahsr meet lukelos.
22 Sebehambe isibanga esithize besuka endlini kaMikha, abantu ababehlala eduzane lendlu kaMikha babizelwa ndawonye baxhuma abakoDani.
Ke elos som loes liki lohm sel Micah, na Micah el pangoneni mwet tulan lal in ukwalos. Ac ke elos sun mwet Dan inge,

24 Yena waphendula wathi, “Lithethe onkulunkulu engabenzayo lomphristi wami, lahamba. Kuyini okunye engilakho? Lingangibuza kanjani lisithi, ‘Uhlutshwa yini na?’”
Na Micah el topuk ac fahk, “Mea kowos fahk an, ku kowos fahsrot ac usla mwet tol se luk oayapa god nukewa ma nga orala, na mea lula luk?”
25 AbakoDani baphendula bathi, “Ungaphikisani lathi, hlezi abanye abantu abalolaka bakuhlasele, kuthi wena labendlu yakho lilahlekelwe yikuphila kwenu.”
Na mwet Dan elos fahk nu sel, “Taran, kom fin sifil fahk kutu ma na mwet inge ac foloyak ac lain kom. Ku na in anwuki kom ac sou lom an nufon.”
26 Ngakho abakoDani bazihambela, kwathi uMikha ebona ukuthi babelamandla kakhulu kulaye, waphenduka wabuyela emzini wakhe.
Na mwet Dan elos sifilpa fahsr som. Ke Micah el akilen lah mwet inge arulana ku lukel, el forla ac folokla nu acn sel ah.
27 Bathatha okwakwenziwe nguMikha, lomphristi wakhe, baya eLayishi, ebantwini ababelokuthula njalo bengethuki lutho. Babahlasela ngenkemba batshisa ledolobho labo.
Na mwet Dan elos us mwet tol sac ac ma nukewa Micah el tuh orala, na elos som ac mweuni mwet Laish. Mwet in acn se inge elos muta in misla. Mwet Dan elos uniya mwet we, ac esukak acn we.

Elos ekulla e se inge Laish, ac sang inen acn sac Dan, ke inen papa matu tumalos Dan, sie sin wen natul Jacob.
