Judges 18:1-30 in Oriya

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

1 ସହେି ସମୟରେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲ ମଧିଅରେ ରାଜା ନ ଥିଲେ। ସହେି ସମୟରେ ଦାନ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗର ବସତି ନିମନ୍ତେ ଭୂଖଣ୍ତ ଖାଜେକ୍ସ୍ଟଥିଲେ। କାରଣ ସେ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ସମାନେେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ପରିବାରବର୍ଗ ମଧିଅରେ ଭୂମି ପାଇଲେ ନାହିଁ।
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 ଏଣୁ ଦାନର ପରିବାରବର୍ଗ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପାଞ୍ଚଜଣ ବୀର ପୁରୁଷଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦେଶ ଭ୍ରମଣ ଓ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସନ୍ଧାନ କରିବାକୁ ସରିଯ ଓ ଇଷ୍ଟାଯୋଲଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଠାଇଲେ ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ କହିଲେ, ୟାଅ ଏବଂ ଆଉ କିଛି ଅଧିକ ଦେଶ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସନ୍ଧାନ କର।
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 ସମାନେେ ମୀଖାର ଗୃହ ନିକଟରେ ଥିବା ବେଳେ ସହେି ଲବେୀୟ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟବକର କଥା ଶୁଣିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଏହା ଚିହ୍ନିପାରିଲେ, ତେଣୁ ସମାନେେ ଘର ଭିତରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟାଇ ତାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ଏଠାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କିଏ ଆଣିଲା? ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଏଠା ରେ କ'ଣ କରୁଛ? ତୁମ୍ଭର ଏଠା ରେ କ'ଣ ଅଛି?
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 ସେ ଉତ୍ତର ରେ କହିଲା, ମୀଖା ମାେ ପ୍ରତି ଏହିପରି କରିଛନ୍ତି। ସେ ମାେତେ ବତନେ ଦଇେ ଏଠା ରେ ଯାଜକ ରୂପେ ନିୟକ୍ସ୍ଟକ୍ତି କରିଛନ୍ତି
And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.

5 ତେଣୁ ସମାନେେ ତାହାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ତୁମ୍ଭକୁ ବିନଯ କରୁଅଛକ୍ସ୍ଟ। ପରମେଶ୍ବରଙ୍କ ନିକଟରେ ପ୍ରଗ୍ଭର ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ୟିବା ବାଟରେ ମଙ୍ଗଳ ହବେ କି ନାହିଁ। ତାହା ଆମ୍ଭେ ଜାଣିବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗ୍ଭହକ୍ସ୍ଟଁ।
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 ତହକ୍ସ୍ଟଁ ଯାଜକ ତାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲା, କକ୍ସ୍ଟଶଳ ରେ ୟାଅ। ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଗନ୍ତବ୍ଯ ପଥ ସଦାପ୍ରଭୁଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମକ୍ସ୍ଟଖ ରେ ଅଛି।
And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the Lord is your way wherein ye go.

7 ଏହାପରେ ସହେି ପାଞ୍ଚଜଣ ପ୍ରସ୍ଥାନ କରି ଲଯିଶ ରେ ପହନ୍ଚିଲେ। ସଠାେରେ ସମାନେେ ଦେଖିଲେ, ସୀଦୋନୀଯମାନଙ୍କ ଶାସନ ରେ ଲୋକମାନେ କିପରି ନିରାପଦ ରେ ରହକ୍ସ୍ଟଥିଲେ। ସହେି ଦେଶ ରେ ଶାନ୍ତି ଥିଲା, ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସବୁକିଛି ୟଥେଷ୍ଟ ଥିଲା। ସଠାେରେ ଅତ୍ଯାଗ୍ଭରୀ ଶାସକ ନଥିଲେ। ଆଉ ସମାନେେ ସୀଦୋନଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦୂର ରେ ଥିଲେ ଓ ଅନ୍ୟ କାହାରି ସହିତ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସଐର୍କ ନ ଥିଲା।
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 ଏହାପରେ ସମାନେେ ସରିଯ ଓ ଇଷ୍ଟାଯୋଲ ରେ ନିଜର ଭାତୃଗଣ ନିକଟରେ ଉପସ୍ଥିତ ହେଲେ। ତହିଁରେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଭାତୃଗଣ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ପଚାରିଲେ, କ'ଣ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମେ ଶିକ୍ଷା କଲ?
And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye?

9 ତହିଁରେ ସମାନେେ କହିଲେ, ଉଠ, ସମାନଙ୍କେର ପ୍ରତିକୂଳ ରେ ୟିବା। କାରଣ ଆମ୍ଭମାନେେ ସେ ଦେଶ ଦେଖିଲକ୍ସ୍ଟ। ଦେଖ ସେ ଦେଶ ଅତି ଉତ୍ତମ। ଆଉ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କାହିଁକି ଚକ୍ସ୍ଟପ ରହିଛ। ସହେି ଦେଶକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟିବାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଓ ସେ ଦେଶକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଅଧିକାରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆଣିବା ପାଇଁ ଅଳସ କର ନାହିଁ।
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 ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ଗଲେ ନିର୍ଭୟ ରେ ଥିବା ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ପାଇବ ଓ ଦେଶ ଅତି ବିସ୍ତୃତ, ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତାହା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ହସ୍ତ ରେ ସମର୍ପଣ କରିଅଛନ୍ତି। ସେ ସ୍ଥାନ ରେ ପୃଥିବୀସ୍ଥ କୌଣସି କଥାର ଅଭାବ ନାହିଁ।
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 ତେଣୁ ଦାନ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗରକ୍ସ୍ଟ 600 ଲୋକ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟଦ୍ଧାସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ସଜ୍ଜିତ ହାଇେ ସରିଯ ଓ ଇଷ୍ଟାଯୋଲ ପରିତ୍ଯାଗ କଲେ।
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 ସମାନେେ ଲଯିଶକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟିବା ବାଟରେ ୟିହକ୍ସ୍ଟଦାର କିରିଯତ ୟିଯାରୀମ ନଗର ରେ ଛାଉଣୀ ସ୍ଥାପନ କଲେ। ସହେି କାରଣରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆଜି ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ମହନୀଦାନ୍ ଦାନ ବୋଲି ପରିଚିତ। ଯାହାକି କିରିଯତ ୟିଯାରୀମର ପଶ୍ଚିମ ରେ ଅଛି।
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 ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ 600 ଲୋକ ଇଫ୍ରଯିମ ପର୍ବତମଯ ଦେଶକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ୟାତ୍ରା କଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ସମାନେେ ଆସି ମୀଖାର ଘ ରେ ପହଁଞ୍ଚିଲେ।
And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.

14 ତେଣୁ ସହେି ପାଞ୍ଚଜଣ ଯେଉଁମାନେ ଲଯିଶ ଦେଶ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସନ୍ଧାନ କରିବାକୁ ୟାଇଥିଲେ, ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସଐର୍କୀଯମାନଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ସଠାେରେ ଏକ ଏଫୋଦ୍ ଅଛି। ସଠାେରେ ଗୃହ ଦବେତାଗଣ ଅଛନ୍ତି ଓ ଏକ ଖାଦେିତ ପ୍ରତିମା ଅଛି। ଏହା ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ କ'ଣ ଜାଣ? ତେଣୁ ବର୍ତ୍ତମାନ କ'ଣ କରିବାକୁ ହବେ ବିବଚେନା କର।
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 ସମାନେେ ମୀଖାର ଗୃହ ପାଖ ରେ ଅଟକି ଗଲେ। ଯେଉଁଠା ରେ ଲବେୀୟ ଲୋକ ଜଣକ ବାସ କରୁଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସହେି ଲବେୀୟ ୟକ୍ସ୍ଟବକକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଚାରିଲେ କିପରି ଅଛନ୍ତି ବୋଲି।
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 ଦାନ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗର 600 ଲୋକ ଅସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ସଜ୍ଜିତ ହାଇେଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଫାଟକ ନିକଟରେ ଛିଡା ହେଲେ।
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 ଦଶାେନକ୍ସ୍ଟସନ୍ଧାନ ନିମିତ୍ତ ୟାଇଥିବା ସହେି ପାଞ୍ଚଜଣ ଉପରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଗଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ସମାନେେ ଭିତରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରି ଏଫୋଦକକ୍ସ୍ଟ, ଗୃହ ଦବେତାଙ୍କୁ ଓ ଖାଦେିତ ପ୍ରତିମାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନଇଗେଲେ।
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 ସହେି ସମୟରେ ଯାଜକ ଫାଟକ ନିକଟରେ ଅସ୍ତ୍ର ରେ ସଜ୍ଜିତ ହାଇେ ସହେି 600 ଲୋକ ସହିତ ଛିଡା ହାଇଗେଲେ। ଯାଜକ ଘ ରେ ପ୍ରବେଶ କରିଥିବା ପାଞ୍ଚ ଜଣଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେ କ'ଣ କରୁଅଛ?
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 ସମାନେେ ତାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଚକ୍ସ୍ଟପ୍ ହବୋ ପାଇଁ କହିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ତାକକ୍ସ୍ଟ କହିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭର ହାତ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପାଟି ରେ ଦିଅ ଏବଂ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କୁ ଅନକ୍ସ୍ଟସରଣ କର। ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ପିତା ଓ ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କର ଯାଜକ ହକ୍ସ୍ଟଅ। ତୁମ୍ଭେ ଗୋଟିଏ ଲୋକର ଗୃହ ଦବେତାର ଯାଜକ ହବୋ ଭଲ ନା ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଗୋଷ୍ଠୀ ଓ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗ ଉପରେ ଯାଜକ ହବୋ ଭଲ କି?
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 ଏଥି ରେ ଯାଜକର ମନ ଆନନ୍ଦିତ ହେଲା। ତହକ୍ସ୍ଟଁ ସେ ଏଫୋଦ୍ ଓ ଠାକକ୍ସ୍ଟରମାନ ଓ ଖୋଳା ପ୍ରତିମାମାନ ନଇେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ସଙ୍ଗ ରେ ଗ୍ଭଲିଗଲା।
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 ଏହାପରେ ସମାନେେ ବକ୍ସ୍ଟଲି ପଡିଲେ ଓ ସହେି ସ୍ଥାନ ପରିତ୍ଯାଗ କଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ବାଳକ, ପଶକ୍ସ୍ଟଗଣ ଓ ସମାନଙ୍କେର ସମସ୍ତ ସାମଗ୍ରୀ ସମାନଙ୍କେ ଆଗ ରେ ରଖିଲେ।
So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them.

22 ସମାନେେ ମୀଖାର ଗୃହର ଅଳ୍ପ ଦୂର ରେ ଥିଲେ। ସେତବେେଳେ ମୀଖାର ନିକଟରେ ବାସ କରୁଥିବା ଲୋକମାନେ ଦାନର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଗୋଡ଼ାଇଲେ ଓ ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ଧରିଲେ।
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 ସମାନେେ ଦାନର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ଉପରେ ପାଟି କଲେ। ତା'ପରେ ଦାନର ଲୋକମାନେ ବକ୍ସ୍ଟଲିପଡି ମୀଖାଙ୍କକ୍ସ୍ଟ ପଚାରିଲେ, ତୁମ୍ଭର କ'ଣ ଖବର ଅଛି ଯେ, ତୁମ୍ଭେ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଏକତ୍ରୀତ କରିଛ?
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 ସେ ଉତ୍ତର ରେ କହିଲେ, ମାରେ ହାତ ରେ ତିଆରି କରିଥିବା ପ୍ରତିମାମାନଙ୍କୁ ଓ ମାରେ ଯାଜକକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ତୁମ୍ଭମାନେେ ନଇେ ୟାଇଛ। ମାରେ ଆଉ କ'ଣ ବାକି ଅଛି? ଏବଂ ତଥାପି ତୁମ୍ଭେ ପଗ୍ଭରକ୍ସ୍ଟଛ, 'ସମସ୍ଯା କ'ଣ?'
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 ତହିଁରେ ଦାନର ଲୋକମାନେ ତାଙ୍କୁ କହିଲେ, ଆମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ତର୍କ ନକରିବା ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ପାଇଁ ଉତ୍ତମ ଅଟେ। ଆମ୍ଭମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ଯରକ୍ସ୍ଟ କେତକଙ୍କେକ୍ସ୍ଟ କୋର୍ଧିତ କରିପା ରେ। ଯେଉଁମାନେ କି ଗରମ ମିଜାସର ଅଟନ୍ତି ଏବଂ ସମାନେେ ତକ୍ସ୍ଟମ୍ଭ ସହିତ ତୁମ୍ଭର ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଓ ତୁମ୍ଭର ପରିବାରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କରି ପାରନ୍ତି ଓ ହତ୍ଯା କରିପାରନ୍ତି।
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 ଏହାପରେ ଦାନ ସନ୍ତାନଗଣ ନିଜ ପଥରେ ଅଗ୍ରସର ହେଲେ। ପକ୍ସ୍ଟଣି ମୀଖା ସମାନଙ୍କେୁ ନିଜଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଅଧିକ ବଳବାନ ଦେଖି ଫରେି ନିଜ ଗୃହକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଫରେି ଗଲେ।
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 ତା'ପରେ ସମାନେେ ମୀଖାର ପ୍ରତିମା ଓ ତାହାର ଯାଜକକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଛାଡି ଲଯିଶ ରେ ପହନ୍ଚିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ସହେି ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ଆକ୍ରମଣ କଲେ, ଯେଉଁମାନେ ସଠାେରେ ଶାନ୍ତି ରେ ଓ ନିରାପଦ ରେ ବାସ କରୁଥିଲେ। ସମାନେେ ଖଡ୍ଗ ରେ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କୁ ହତ୍ଯା କଲେ ଓ ନଗରକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଅଗ୍ନି ରେ ଦଗ୍ଧ କଲେ।
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 ପକ୍ସ୍ଟଣି ତାଙ୍କର କହେି ଉଦ୍ଧାର କର୍ତ୍ତା ନ ଥିଲେ। କାରଣ ତାହା ସୀଦୋନଠାରକ୍ସ୍ଟ ଦୂର ଥିଲା, ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଅନ୍ୟ ଲୋକମାନଙ୍କ ସହିତ ଚୂକ୍ତି ନଥିଲା। ଲଯିଶ ବୈଥ୍ରହୋବର ଓ ନିକଟସ୍ଥ ତଳ ଭୂମିରେ ଥିଲା। ଏହାପରେ ସମାନେେ ନୂତନ ନଗର ନିର୍ମାଣ କରି ସଠାେରେ ବାସ କଲେ।
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 ଯେ ହତେକ୍ସ୍ଟ ସମାନେେ ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲର ଜଣେ ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଦାନର ଭବିଷ୍ଯଦ୍ ବଂଶଧର ଥିଲେ, ସମାନେେ ସହେି ନଗରର ନାମ ଦାନ ରଖିଲେ। ମାତ୍ର ବାସ୍ତବ ରେ ସହେି ନଗରର ନାମ ଲଯିଶ ଥିଲା।
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 ଏଣୁ ଦାନ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗ ସହେି ଖୋଦିତ ପ୍ରତିମା ଆପଣାମାନଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ସ୍ଥାପନ କଲେ। ସମାନଙ୍କେର ଯାଜକରୂପେ ସମାନେେ ମାଶାଙ୍କେର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ର ଗେର୍ଶୋନ ବଂଶଧର ଯୋନାଥନକକ୍ସ୍ଟ ନିୟକ୍ସ୍ଟକ୍ତି କଲେ। ଇଶ୍ରାୟେଲୀୟମାନେ ନିର୍ବାସିତ ହବୋ ପର୍ୟ୍ଯନ୍ତ ଯୋନାଥନ ଓ ତାଙ୍କର ପକ୍ସ୍ଟତ୍ରମାନେ ଦାନ ପରିବାରବର୍ଗର ଯାଜକ ହାଇେ ରହିଲେ।
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.
