Judges 18 - Listen Online

¹ LI ọjọ́ wọnni ọba kan kò sí ni Israeli: ati li ọjọ́ wọnni ẹ̀ya Dani nwá ilẹ-iní kan lati joko si; nitoripe titi o fi di ọjọ́ na, ilẹ-iní wọn lãrin awọn ẹ̀ya Israeli kò ti ibọ́ si ọwọ́ wọn.

¹ In 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.

² Awọn ọmọ Dani si rán ọkunrin marun ninu idile wọn lati àgbegbe wọn wá, awọn ọkunrin alagbara, lati Sora, ati Eṣtaolu lọ, lati lọ ṣe amí ilẹ na, ati lati rìn i wò; nwọn si wi fun wọn pe, Ẹ lọ rìn ilẹ na wò: nwọn si dé ilẹ òke Efraimu, si ile Mika, nwọn si wọ̀ nibẹ̀.

² And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, 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.

³ Nigbati nwọn wà leti ile Mika, nwọn si mọ̀ ohùn ọmọkunrin Lefi na: nwọn si wọ̀ inu ile na, nwọn si wi fun u pe, Tali o mú ọ wá ihinyi? kini iwọ si nṣe ni ihinyi? kini iwọ si ní nihin?

³ 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 unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?

⁴ On si wi fun wọn pe, Bayibayi ni Mika ṣe fun mi, o gbà mi si iṣẹ, alufa rẹ̀ li emi si iṣe.

⁴ And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.

⁵ Nwọn si wi fun u pe, Bère lọdọ Ọlọrun, awa bẹ̀ ọ, ki awa ki o le mọ̀ bi ọ̀na wa ti awa nlọ yio jasi rere.

⁵ And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.

⁶ Alufa na si wi fun wọn pe, Ẹ ma lọ li alafia: ọ̀na nyin ti ẹnyin nlọ mbẹ niwaju OLUWA.

⁶ And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go.

⁷ Nigbana li awọn ọkunrin mararun na lọ, nwọn si dé Laiṣi, nwọn si ri awọn enia ti o wà ninu rẹ̀, bi nwọn ti joko laibẹ̀ru, gẹgẹ bi iṣe awọn ara Sidoni, ni ijokojẹ ati laibẹ̀ru; kò si sí olori kan ni ilẹ na, ti iba mu oju tì wọn li ohunkohun, nwọn si jìna si awọn ara Sidoni, nwọn kò si ba ẹnikẹni ṣe.

⁷ Then 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.

⁸ Nwọn si wá sọdọ awọn arakunrin wọn si Sora ati Eṣtaolu: awọn arakunrin wọn si wi fun wọn pe, Kili ẹnyin wi?

⁸ And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye?

⁹ Nwọn si wipe, Ẹ dide, ki awa ki o tọ̀ wọn: nitoriti awa ri ilẹ na, si kiyesi i, o dara gidigidi: ẹ dakẹ ni? ẹ má ṣe lọra lati lọ, ati lati wọ̀ ibẹ̀ lọ gbà ilẹ na.

⁹ And 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.

¹⁰ Nigbati ẹnyin ba lọ, ẹnyin o dé ọdọ awọn enia ti o wà laibẹ̀ru, ilẹ na si tobi: nitoriti Ọlọrun ti fi i lé nyin lọwọ; ibiti kò sí ainí ohunkohun ti mbẹ lori ilẹ.

¹⁰ When 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.

¹¹ Awọn enia idile Dani si ti ibẹ̀ lọ, lati Sora ati lati Eṣtaolu, ẹgbẹta ọkunrin ti o hamọra ogun;

¹¹ And 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.

¹² Nwọn si gòke lọ, nwọn si dó si Kiriati-jearimu, ni Juda: nitorina ni nwọn ṣe npè ibẹ̀ na ni Mahane-dani titi o fi di oni yi: kiyesi i, o wà lẹhin Kiriati-jearimu.

¹² And they went up, and pitched in Kirjath-jearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahaneh-dan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjath-jearim.

¹³ Nwọn si kọja lati ibẹ̀ lọ si ilẹ òke Efraimu, nwọn si wá si ile Mika.

¹³ And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.

¹⁴ Nigbana li awọn ọkunrin marun ti a rán ti o ti lọ ṣe amí ilẹ Laiṣi dahùn, nwọn si wi fun awọn arakunrin wọn pe, Ẹ mọ̀ pe efodu kan wà ninu ile wọnyi, ati terafimu, ati ere fifin, ati ere didà? njẹ nitorina ẹ rò eyiti ẹnyin o ṣe.

¹⁴ Then 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.

¹⁵ Nwọn si yà sibẹ̀, nwọn si wá si ile ọmọkunrin Lefi na, ani si ile Mika, nwọn si bère alafia rẹ̀.

¹⁵ And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.

¹⁶ Awọn ẹgbẹta ọkunrin ti o hamọra ogun ninu awọn ọmọ Dani, duro li ẹnu-ọ̀na.

¹⁶ And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.

¹⁷ Awọn ọkunrin marun ti o ti lọ iṣe amí ilẹ na gòke lọ, nwọn si wá si ibẹ̀ na, nwọn si kó ere fifin, ati efodu, ati terafimu, ati ere didà na: alufa na si duro li ẹnu-ọ̀na pẹlu awọn ẹgbẹta ọkunrin ti o hamọra ogun.

¹⁷ And 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.

¹⁸ Nigbati awọn wọnyi si wọ̀ ile Mika lọ, nwọn si mú ere fifin, efodu, ati terafimu, ati ere didà na, nigbana li alufa na wi fun wọn pe, Kili ẹnyin nṣe yi?

¹⁸ And 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?

¹⁹ Nwọn si wi fun u pe, Dakẹ, fi ọwọ́ rẹ lé ẹnu rẹ, ki o si ma bá wa lọ, ki o si ma ṣe baba fun wa ati alufa: o ha san fun ọ lati ṣe alufa fun ile ọkunrin kan, tabi ki iwọ ki o ṣe alufa fun ẹ̀ya ati idile kan ni Israeli?

¹⁹ And 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?

²⁰ Inu alufa na si dùn, o si mú efodu, ati terafimu, ati ere fifin, o si bọ̀ sãrin awọn enia na.

²⁰ And 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 Bẹ̃ni nwọn yipada nwọn si lọ, nwọn tì awọn ọmọ kekere ati ẹran ati ẹrù siwaju wọn.

²¹ So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them.

²² Nigbati nwọn si lọ jìna si ile Mika, awọn ọkunrin ti o wà ninu ile wọnni ti o sunmọ ile Mika kó ara wọn jọ, nwọn si lé awọn ọmọ Dani bá.

²² And 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.

²³ Nwọn si kọ si awọn ọmọ Dani. Nwọn si yi oju wọn pada, nwọn wi fun Mika pe, Kili o ṣe ọ, ti iwọ fi kó irú ẹgbẹ bẹ̃ lẹhin wá?

²³ And 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?

²⁴ On si wipe, Ẹnyin kó awọn oriṣa mi ti mo ṣe lọ, ẹ si mú alufa, ẹ si lọ, kini mo si tun ní? kili eyiti ẹnyin wi fun mi pe, Kili o ṣe ọ?

²⁴ 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 unto me, What aileth thee?

²⁵ Awọn ọmọ Dani si wi fun u pe, Máṣe jẹ ki a gbọ́ ohùn rẹ lãrin wa, ki awọn oninuṣùṣu ki o má bã kọlù nyin, iwọ a si sọ ẹmi rẹ nù, ati ẹmi awọn ara ile rẹ.

²⁵ And 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.

²⁶ Awọn ọmọ Dani si ba ọ̀na wọn lọ: nigbati Mika si ri i pe, nwọn lagbara jù on lọ, on si yipada, o si pada lọ sinu ile rẹ̀.

²⁶ And 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.

²⁷ Nwọn si kó awọn nkan wọnni ti Mika ṣe, ati alufa ti o ní, nwọn si wá si Laiṣi sọdọ awọn enia ti o wà ni ijokojẹ ati laibẹ̀ru, nwọn si fi oju idà kọlù wọn, nwọn si fi iná kun ilu na.

²⁷ And 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.

²⁸ Kò si sí olugbala, nitoriti o jìna si Sidoni, nwọn kò si bá ẹnikẹni ṣe; o si wà ni afonifoji ti o wà ni Beti-rehobu. Nwọn si kọ́ ilu na, nwọn si ngbé inu rẹ̀.

²⁸ And 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 Beth-rehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.

²⁹ Nwọn si pè orukọ ilu na ni Dani, gẹgẹ bi orukọ Dani baba wọn, ẹniti a bi fun Israeli: ṣugbọn Laiṣi li orukọ ilu na li atijọ rí.

²⁹ And 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.

³⁰ Awọn ọmọ Dani si gbé ere fifin na kalẹ: ati Jonatani, ọmọ Gerṣomu, ọmọ Mose, on ati awọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkunrin li o nṣe alufa fun ẹ̀ya Dani titi o fi di ọjọ́ ti a fi kó ilẹ na ni igbekun lọ.

³⁰ And 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.

³¹ Nwọn si gbé ere fifin ti Mika ṣe kalẹ ni gbogbo ọjọ́ ti ile Ọlọrun fi wà ni Ṣilo.

³¹ And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
