| Siku hizo hapakuwa na mfalme katika Israeli; tena katika siku hizo kabila ya Wadani wakajitafutia urithi wapate mahali pa kukaa; maana hata siku hiyo urithi wao haujawaangukia kati ya kabila za Israeli. Waamuzi 18:1 |
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 to that day [their] inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel. |
| Basi wana wa Dani wakatuma watu wa jamaa zao, watu watano katika hesabu yao yote, watu mashujaa, kutoka Sora, na kutoka Eshtaoli, ili kuipeleleza hiyo nchi, kuiaua; wakawaambia, Haya, endeni mkaikague nchi hii; basi wakaifikilia nchi ya vilima vilima ya Efraimu, hata nyumba ya huyo Mika, Wakalala huko. Waamuzi 18:2 |
The children of Dan sent of their family five men from their whole number, men of valor, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said to them, Go, search the land. They came to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there. |
| Basi hapo walipokuwa karibu na nyumba ya Mika, wakatambua sauti yake huyo hirimu, huyo Mlawi; ndipo wakageuka wakaenda kuko, na kumwuliza, Je! Ni nani aliyekuleta wewe huku? Nawe wafanya nini mahali hapa? Una kazi gani hapa? Waamuzi 18:3 |

| Ndipo hao watu watano wakaenda zao, wakafika Laisha, wakawaona wale watu waliokuwamo ndani yake, jinsi walivyokaa salama salimini kwa mfano wa walivyokaa hao Wasidoni, wenye starehe na hifadhi, kwa maana hapakuwa na mtu katika nchi hiyo aliyekuwa na amri, aliyeweza kuwatweza katika neno lo lote, nao walikuwa wa mbali na hao Wasidoni, wala hawakuwa na shughuli na mtu ye yote. Waamuzi 18:7 |
Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people who were therein, how they lived in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was none in the land, possessing authority, that might put [them] to shame in anything, and they were far from the Sidonians, and had no dealings with any man. |

They said, Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are you still? don't be slothful to go and to enter in to possess the land. |
| Hapo mtakapokwenda mtawafikilia watu wakaao salama salimini, na hiyo nchi nayo ni kubwa; kwa kuwa Mungu ameitia mikononi mwenu; ni mahali ambapo hapana kupungukiwa na kitu cho chote kilicho duniani. Waamuzi 18:10 |
When you go, you shall come to a people secure, and the land is large; for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no want of anything that is in the earth. |

| Wao wakamwambia, Nyamaza wewe, weka mkono wako kinywani mwako, uende pamoja nasi, uwe kwetu baba, tena kuhani; je! Ni vema kwako kuwa kuhani kwa ajili ya nyumba ya mtu mmoja, au kuwa kuhani kwa ajili ya kabila na jamaa katika Israeli? Waamuzi 18:19 |
