1In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel.
1 Jirbey din ra bonkooni si no Israyla ra. Jirbey din ra mo Dan kunda na tubu ceeci zama ngey ma goro a ra. Zama hal a kaa ka to saaya din ra, i tubo mana furo i kambe ra Israyla kundey game ra.
2And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valor, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.
2 Kala Dan izey na ngey kunda ra boro gu donton i jama kulu ra, boro yaarukomyaŋ kaŋ fun Zora da Estayol do haray, zama i ma laabo windi k'a fintal mo. I ne i se: «Wa koy ka laabo fintal.» I kaa Ifraymu tondey laabu ka koy Mika windo ra ka zumbu noodin.
3When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?
3 Waato kaŋ i kaa ka to Mika windo gaa tak-tak, i na arwasu Lawito jinda bay. I kamba ka gana ka kaa a do. I ne a se: «May ka kande nin neewo? Ifo no ni goono ga te mo nango wo ra? Ifo no ka bara ni se ne?»
4And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.
4 Kala a ne i se: «Yaa da yaa no Mika te ay se. A n'ay sufuray, ay ciya a alfaga mo.»
5And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.
5 I ne a se: «Iri ga ni ŋwaaray no, ma saaware ceeci Irikoy do zama iri ma bay hala fondo wo kaŋ iri go ga gana ga te albarka.»
6And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go.
6 Alfaga ne i se: «Wa koy baani samay. Fonda kaŋ araŋ ga gana, Rabbi jine no a go.»
7Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in any thing; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man.
7 Waato din gaa no boro guwa din tun ka kaa Layis. I di borey kaŋ yaŋ goono ga goro a ra, i go ga goro nda baani, Zidonancey alaada boŋ, laakal kanay ra, fitina kulu si. Zama laabo ra mayraykoy si no kaŋ ga haawa i gaa hay kulu ra. I ga mooru Zidonancey, i si muraadu fo kulu te da boro kulu.
8And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye?
8 Kaŋ i ye ka kaa ngey nya-izey do Zora da Estayol, kala i nya-izey ne i se: «Man gaa baaru kaŋ araŋ kande?»
9And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.
9 I ne: «Iri ma tun ka koy ka wongu nd'ey, zama iri di laabo. A go mo, a ga boori gumo. Araŋ binde, araŋ go ne ga goro hinne? Wa si te hawfunoyaŋ. Wa dira ka koy ka laabo ŋwa.
10When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth.
10 Waato kaŋ araŋ koy, araŋ ga borey gar, i go ga goro baani goray. Laabo mo, a ga tafay, zama Irikoy n'araŋ no nd'a araŋ kambe ra. Laabu no kaŋ si jaŋ hay kulu kaŋ go ndunnya ra.»
11And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.
11 A binde, Dan kunda ra kala boro zangu iddu tun Zora da Estayol, kaŋ yaŋ na wongu jinayyaŋ koto.
12And they went up, and pitched in Kirjathjearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahanehdan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjathjearim.
12 I tun ka kaa Ciriyat-Yeyarim ka zumbu, Yahuda laabo ra. Woodin se no i na nango maa daŋ Mahane-Dan (kaŋ a feerijo ga ti Dan Gata) hala hunkuna. A go Ciriyat-Yeyarim se wayna kaŋay haray.
13And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.
13 I bisa noodin ka koy Ifraymu tondey laabo ra ka kaa ka to Mika windi.
14Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do.
14 Gaa no boro guwa din kaŋ yaŋ koy ka Layis laabo windi, i ne ngey nya-izey se: «Araŋ bay kaŋ windo wo ra efod* fo go no, da fu-kaliyaŋ da jabuyaŋ himandi da sooguyaŋ himandi mo? Sohõ binde, araŋ bay haŋ kaŋ araŋ ga te.»
15And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.
15 I binde kamba ka kaa arwasu Lawito din kwaara, danga Mika windi nooya. I n'a baani hã.
16And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.
16 Dan kunda boro zangu iddo din kay windo me gaa da ngey wongu jinayey.
17And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.
17 Ngey boro guwa kaŋ yaŋ koy ka laabo windi din ziji ka furo noodin. I na jabuyaŋ himando da efod da fu-kaley, da sooguyaŋ himando sambu. Alfaga mo go meyo gaa ga kay, da boro zangu iddo wo mo kaŋ yaŋ go ga guddama da wongu jinayyaŋ.
18And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?
18 Waato kaŋ boro fey din furo Mika windo ra, i n'a jabuyaŋ himando, da efod nda fu-kaley da sooguyaŋ himando sambu. Kala alfaga ne i se: «Ifo no araŋ goono ga te?»
19And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine 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 unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?
19 I ne a se: «Ma dangay ka ni kambe dake ni me gaa ka kaa iri banda. Ma ciya iri se baaba da alfaga. Woofo no ga bisa ni se, ni ma ciya boro folloŋ windi se alfaga, wala ni ma ciya kunda da dumi se alfaga Israyla ra?»
20And 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.
20 Alfaga bina binde kaan. Kal a na efod nda fu-kaley da jabuyaŋ himando sambu ka furo jama bindo ra.
21So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them.
21 I bare binde ka dira. I na ngey zankey da ngey hawey da arzakey daŋ ngey jine.
22And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
22 Waato kaŋ i mooru Mika kwaara, borey kaŋ yaŋ go Mika windo jarga margu. I na Dan izey hamney ka to.
23And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?
23 I na Dan izey ce. Ngey mo zagu ka ne Mika se: «Ifo no ka du nin kaŋ ni na jama wo margu?»
24And 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 unto me, What aileth thee?
24 A ne: «Araŋ n'ay toorey kaŋ yaŋ ay te, d'ay alfaga mo kom k'araŋ koyyaŋ te. Ifo ka cindi ay se koyne? Mate se no araŋ ga ne ay se: ‹Ifo ka du nin?› »
25And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household.
25 Dan izey ne a se: «I ma si maa ni jinde iri game ra, hala alborey kaŋ yaŋ biney ga koroŋ, i ma si kaŋ ni boŋ hala ni ma bu, nin da ni almayaaley.»
26And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.
26 Kala Dan izey soobay ka ngey dirawo te. Waato kaŋ Mika di i bisa nga gaabi, a bare ka ye fu.
27And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.
27 I na haya kaŋ Mika te din, da alfaga kaŋ a du, sambu ka kaa Layis, borey kaŋ go ga goro nda baani, laakal kanay ra. I n'i kar da takuba. I na kwaara ton da danji.
28And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Bethrehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
28 Faabako si no, zama kwaara ga mooru Zidon. I si muraadu kulu te mo da boro kulu. I goono ga goro Bayt-Rehob jarga, gooro ra. Dan izey na birni cina ka goro a ra.
29And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first.
29 I na birno maa ce Dan, ngey kaayo Dan maa boŋ, nga kaŋ i hay Israyla se, amma sintina gaa birno maa ga ti Layis.
30And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
30 Dan izey na jabuyaŋ himando sinji ngey boŋ se. Yonatan, Gerson banda, Musa ize, nga da nga izey no ga ti alfagey Dan kunda se, hal a to hano din kaŋ yawey na laabo din may.
31And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
31 I binde na jabuyaŋ himando kaŋ Mika te din sinji i se, jirbey kulu me-a-me ra kaŋ Irikoy windo go Silo ra.
