Batur Ⱨakimlar 18
1 Xu künlǝrdǝ Israilda ⱨeq padixaⱨ bolmidi; xundaⱪla xu künlǝrdǝ Danlarning ⱪǝbilisi ɵzlirigǝ olturaⱪlixix üqün jay izdǝwatⱪanidi, qünki xu küngiqǝ ular Israil ⱪǝbililiri arisida qǝk taxlinip bekitilgǝn miras zeminƣa erixmigǝnidi.
At that time the Israelis had no king. Also at that time, the tribe of Dan was still searching for some land where they could live. The other Israeli tribes had [been able to] ([capture/take possession of]) [the] land that had been allotted to them, but the tribe of Dan had not been able to do that.
2 Xuning bilǝn Danlar pütkül jǝmǝtidin Zoreaⱨ wǝ Əxtaolda olturuxluⱪ bǝx palwanni zeminni qarlap kelixkǝ ǝwǝtti wǝ ularƣa tapilap: — Silǝr berip zeminni qarlap kelinglar, dedi. Ular sǝpǝr ⱪilip Əfraim taƣliⱪ yurtiƣa kelip Mikaⱨning ɵyigǝ qüxüp u yǝrdǝ ⱪondi.
So they chose five soldiers from their clans, men who lived in Zorah and Eshtaol [cities], to go through the land and explore it [and try to find some land where their tribe could live]. They came to Micah’s house in the hilly area where the tribe of Ephraim lived, and they stayed there that night.
3 Ular Mikaⱨning ɵyining yenida turƣinida Lawiy yigitning awazini tonup, uning ⱪexiƣa kirip uningdin: — Seni kim bu jayƣa elip kǝldi? Bu yǝrdǝ nemǝ ix ⱪilisǝn? Bu jayda nemigǝ erixting? — dǝp soridi.
While they were in his house and they heard the young man who had become Micah’s priest talking, they recognized from (his accent/the way that he talked) [that he was from the southern part of Israel]. So they went to him and asked him, “Who brought you here? What are you doing here? Why did you come here?”
4 U ularƣa jawabǝn: — Mikaⱨ manga mundaⱪ-mundaⱪ ⱪilip, meni yallap ɵzigǝ kaⱨin ⱪildi, dedi.
He told them the things that Micah had done for him. And he said, “Micah (has hired me/is paying me to work for him), and I have become his priest.”
5 Buni anglap ular uningƣa: — Undaⱪ bolsa bizning mangƣan sǝpirimizning onguxluⱪ bolidiƣan-bolmaydiƣanliⱪini bilmikimiz üqün, Hudadin sorap bǝrgin, — dedi.
So they said to him, “Please ask God if we will succeed [in what we are trying to do] on this journey.”
6 Kaⱨin ularƣa: — Hatirjǝm beriweringlar. Mangƣan yolunglar Pǝrwǝrdigarning aldididur, — dedi.
The young man replied, “Things will go well for you. Yahweh will go with you on this journey.”
7 Xuning bilǝn bu bǝx adǝm qiⱪip, Laix degǝn jayƣa yetip kǝldi. Ular u yǝrdiki hǝlⱪning tinq-aman yaxawatⱪinini, turmuxining Zidoniylarning ɵrp-adǝtliri boyiqǝ ikǝnlikini, hatirjǝmlik wǝ raⱨǝt iqidǝ turuwatⱪinini kɵrdi; xu zeminda ularni har ⱪilƣuqi ⱨeqⱪandaⱪ ⱨoⱪuⱪdar yoⱪ idi; ular Zidoniylardin yiraⱪta turatti, xundaⱪla baxⱪilar bilǝnmu ⱨeqⱪandaⱪ bardi-kǝldi ⱪilixmaytti.
[The next day] the five men left. When they came to Laish [city], they saw that the people there lived safely, like the people in Sidon [city] did. The people there thought that they were safe/protected [from any enemies], and they had plenty of [good fertile] land. They lived very far from the people of Sidon, [so the people of Sidon would not be able to help defend/protect them]. They had no other (allies/groups nearby that would help them in battles).
8 [Bǝx palwan] Zoreaⱨ wǝ Əxtaolƣa ɵz ⱪerindaxlirining ⱪexiƣa ⱪaytip kǝldi. Ⱪerindaxliri ulardin: — Nemǝ hǝwǝr elip kǝldinglar? — dǝp soridi.
When those five men returned to Zorah and Eshtaol, their relatives asked them “What did you find out?”
9 Ular jawabǝn: — Biz ⱪopup ularƣa ⱨujum ⱪilayli! Qünki biz xu zeminni qarlap kǝlduⱪ, mana, u intayin yahxi bir yurt ikǝn. Əmdi nemixⱪa ⱪimir ⱪilmay jim olturisilǝr? Əmdi dǝrⱨal berip, u yurtni elixⱪa ǝzmǝnglǝrni ǝzmǝnglar, berip ⱨujum ⱪilip zeminni igilǝnglar.
They replied, “We have found some land, and it is very good. We should go and attack the people [who live there]. Why are you staying here and doing nothing [RHQ]? Do not wait any longer! We should go immediately and take possession of that land!
10 U yǝrgǝ barƣininglarda silǝr tinq-aman turuwatⱪan bir hǝlⱪni, ⱨǝr ǝtrapiƣa sozulƣan kǝng-azadǝ bir zeminni kɵrisilǝr! Huda u yǝrni silǝrning ⱪolunglarƣa tapxurƣandur. U yurtta yǝr yüzidǝ tepilidiƣan barliⱪ nǝrsilǝrdin ⱨeqbiri kǝm ǝmǝs, dedi.
When you go there, you will see that there is plenty of land, and it has everything [that we will need]. The people there are not expecting anyone to attack them. Surely God is giving that land to us.”
11 Xuning bilǝn Danlarning jǝmǝtidin altǝ yüz adǝm jǝnggǝ ⱪorallinip, Zoreaⱨ wǝ Əxtaoldin qiⱪip mangdi.
So 600 men from the tribe of Dan left Zorah and Eshtaol, carrying their weapons.
12 Ular Yǝⱨuda yurtidiki Kiriat-Yearim degǝn jayƣa berip, qedir tikti (xunga bu jay taki bügüngiqǝ «Danning lǝxkǝrgaⱨi» dǝp atalmaⱪta; u Kiriat-Yearimning arⱪa tǝripigǝ jaylaxⱪanidi).
On their way they set up their tents near Kiriath-Jearim [city] in [the area where the tribe of] Judah [lives]. That is why the area west of Kiriath-Jearim was named ‘Camp of Dan’, and that is still its name.
13 Andin ular u yǝrdin Əfraim taƣliⱪ rayoniƣa berip, Mikaⱨning ɵyigǝ yetip kǝldi.
From there, they went to the hilly area where the tribe of Ephraim lives. And they arrived at Micah’s house.
14 Laix yurtiƣa qarlax üqün barƣan bǝx kixi ɵz ⱪerindaxliriƣa: — Bilǝmsilǝr? Bu ɵydǝ bir ǝfod toni, birnǝqqǝ tǝrafim butliri, bir oyma mǝbud wǝ ⱪuyma mǝbud bardur! Əmdi ⱪandaⱪ ⱪilixinglar kerǝklikini oylixinglar! — dedi.
The five men who had explored the land near Laish said to their fellow Israelis, “Do you know that in one of these houses there is a sacred vest, several idols, and a statue? [We think that] you know what you should do.” [RHQ]
15 Ular burulup Lawiy yigitning ɵyigǝ (Mikaⱨⱪa tǝwǝ ɵygǝ) kirip uningdin ⱨal soridi.
So they went to the house where the man from the tribe of Levi lived, which was the house where Micah lived, and they greeted the young man from the tribe of Levi [who had become Micah’s priest].
16 Dan ⱪǝbilisidin bolƣan jǝng ⱪorallirini kɵtürgǝn altǝ yüz kixi dǝrwaza aldida turup turdi.
The 600 men of the tribe of Dan stood outside the gate of the house, carrying their weapons.
17 U zeminni qarlaxⱪa barƣan bǝx adǝm [buthaniƣa] kirip, oyma but, ǝfod toni, tǝrafim butliri wǝ ⱪuyma butni elip qiⱪti. Kaⱨin jǝng ⱪorallirini kɵtürgǝn altǝ yüz kixi bilǝn billǝ dǝrwazida turatti.
The five men who had explored the land went into Micah’s house, and took all the idols, the sacred vest, and the statue. While they did that, the 600 men stood outside the gate, [talking] with the priest.
18 Bu bǝx adǝm Mikaⱨning ɵyigǝ kirip oyma but, ǝfod tonini, tǝrafim butliri wǝ ⱪuyma butni elip qiⱪⱪanda kaⱨin ulardin: — Bu nemǝ ⱪilƣininglar?! — dǝp soridi.
When the priest saw them bringing out the idols and the sacred vest and the statue, he said to them, “What are you doing?”
19 Ular uningƣa: — Ün qiⱪarmay, aƣzingni ⱪolung bilǝn etip, biz bilǝn mengip, bizgǝ ⱨǝm ata ⱨǝm kaⱨin bolup bǝrgin. Sening pǝⱪǝt bir adǝmning ɵyidikilǝrgǝ kaⱨin bolƣining yahximu, yaki Israilning bir jǝmǝti bolƣan pütün bir ⱪǝbiligǝ kaⱨin bolƣining yahximu? — dedi.
They replied, “Be quiet! Do not say anything! You come with us and be [like] a father to us and a priest for us. Is it better for you to [stay here and] be a priest for the people in the house of one man, or to be a priest for a clan, and a priest for a whole tribe of Israelis?” [RHQ]
20 Xundaⱪ dewidi, kaⱨinning kɵngli hux bolup, ǝfod, tǝrafim butliri wǝ oyma mǝbudni elip hǝlⱪning arisiƣa kirip turdi.
The priest liked what they were suggesting. So he took the sacred vest and the idols, and he [prepared to] go with the men from the tribe of Dan.
21 Andin ular burulup, u yǝrdin kǝtti; ular baliliri wǝ qarpaylarni wǝ yük-taⱪlirining ⱨǝmmisini aldida mangduruwǝtkǝnidi.
They all put their little children and their animals and everything else that they owned in front of them.
22 Mikaⱨning ɵyidin heli yiraⱪliƣanda Mikaⱨning ɵyining ǝtrapidiki hǝlⱪlǝr yiƣilip, Danlarƣa ⱪoƣlap yetixti.
After they had gone a little distance from Micah’s house, Micah [saw what was happening. He] quickly summoned the men who lived near him, and they ran and caught up with the men from the tribe of Dan.
23 Ular Danlarni towlap qaⱪirdi, Danlar burulup Mikaⱨⱪa: — Sanga nemǝ boldi, bunqiwila kɵp hǝlⱪni yiƣip kelip nemǝ ⱪilmaⱪqisǝn?! — dedi.
They shouted at them. The men of the tribe of Dan turned around and said to Micah, “What is the problem? Why have you gathered these men [to pursue us]?”
24 U jawab berip: — Silǝr mǝn yasatⱪan mǝbudlarni kaⱨinim bilǝn ⱪoxup aldinglar, andin kǝttinglar! Manga yǝnǝ nemǝ ⱪaldi?! Xundaⱪ turuⱪluⱪ silǝr tehi: «Sanga nemǝ boldi?» — dǝwatisilǝrƣu! — dedi.
Micah shouted, “You took the silver idols that were made for me! You also took my priest! I do not have anything left [RHQ]! So why do you ask me, ‘What is the problem?’”
25 Danlar uningƣa: — Ününgni qiⱪarma, bolmisa aqqiⱪi yaman kixilǝr seni tutuwelip, seni wǝ ailǝngdikilǝrni janliridin juda ⱪilmisun, yǝnǝ, — dedi.
The men from the tribe of Dan replied, “You should not shout loudly like that! One of our angry men might attack you and kill you and your family!”
26 Bularni dǝp Danlar ɵz yoliƣa mangdi; Mikaⱨ ularning ɵzidin küqlük ikǝnlikini kɵrüp, yenip ɵz ɵyigǝ kǝtti.
Then the men from the tribe of Dan continued walking. Micah realized that there was a very large group of them, [so that it would be useless for him to try to fight them]. So he turned around and went home.
27 Ular Mikaⱨ yasatⱪuzƣan nǝrsilǝr wǝ uning kaⱨinini elip, Laixⱪa ⱨujum ⱪildi; u yǝrdiki hǝlⱪ tinq-aman wǝ hatirjǝm turuwatⱪanidi; ular ularni ⱪiliqlap ⱪirip, xǝⱨǝrni otta kɵydürüwǝtti.
The men of the tribe of Dan were carrying the things that had been made for Micah, and they also took his priest, and they continued traveling to Laish. They attacked the people who were peacefully living there, and killed them with their swords, and then they burned everything in the city.
28 Xǝⱨǝrni ⱪutⱪuzƣudǝk ⱨeq adǝm qiⱪimidi; qünki bu xǝⱨǝr Zidondin yiraⱪta idi, hǝlⱪi ⱨeqkim bilǝn bardi-kǝldi ⱪilixmaytti. Xǝⱨǝr Bǝyt-Rǝⱨobning yenidiki jilƣida idi. Danlar xǝⱨǝrni ⱪaytidin ⱪurup, olturaⱪlaxti.
Laish was far from [the city of] Sidon, [so the people of Sidon could not rescue the people of Laish]. And the people of Laish had no other allies. Laish was in a valley near Beth-Rehob [town]. The people of the tribe of Dan rebuilt the city and started to live there.
29 Ular bu xǝⱨǝrgǝ Israilning oƣulliridin bolƣan, ɵz atisi Danning ismini ⱪoyup Dan dǝp atidi. Ilgiri u xǝⱨǝrning nami Laix idi.
They gave to the city a [new] name, Dan, in honor of their ancestor Dan, who was one of the sons of Jacob.
30 Danlar xu yǝrdǝ bu oyma butni ɵzlirigǝ tiklidi; Musaning oƣli Gǝrxomning ǝwladi Yonatan wǝ uning oƣulliri bolsa xu zeminning hǝlⱪi sürgün boluxⱪa elip ketilgǝn küngiqǝ Danlarning ⱪǝbilisigǝ kaⱨin bolup turƣanidi.
The people of the tribe of Dan set up [in the city] the idols [that had been made for Micah]. Jonathan, who was the son of Gershom and the grandson of Moses, was appointed to be their priest. His descendants continued to be priests until the Israelis were captured and taken [to Assyria].
31 Hudaning ɵyi Xiloⱨda turƣan barliⱪ waⱪitlarda, Danlar ɵzliri üqün tikligǝn, Mikaⱨ yasatⱪuzƣan oyma mǝbud [Danda] turƣuzuldi.
After the people of the tribe of Dan set up the idols that had been made for Micah, [they worshiped those idols, even though] the Sacred Tent [where they had been commanded to worship] God, was at Shiloh.
