1 Dat time, da Israel peopo neva get king. An dat time, da Dan ohana peopo try find one land fo make um dea property, fo dem live ova dea. Cuz dey still yet no can take ova da land dey get wit da odda Israel peopo, fo make um come dea property. 2 So da Dan peopo sen five army guys from Zorah town an Eshtaol town dat know how fo fight. Dey suppose to look fo one land an scope um out good, from one side Canaan to da odda side. Dese guys come from dea five main Dan blood lines. Da Dan leada guys tell um, “Go, scope out da whole land.”

4 Da Levi guy tell dem wat Micah wen do fo him, an tell, “I work fo him. I his pries guy.”

5 Dey tell him, “Try aks God fo us: us guys like know if dis trip goin come out good.”

6 Da pries tell dem, “Go, an stay good inside. Da One In Charge know da way you guys goin go in front him.”

7 So da five guys go way. Dey come Laish town. Dey see dat da peopo ova dea live good, jalike da Sidon peopo. Da Laish peopo tink notting bad goin happen to dem, an nobody goin hurt dem. An cuz da land stay good, dey stay rich. Dey live far from Sidon town, an dey not frenz wit odda peopo.

8 Wen da Dan guys go back Zorah an Eshtaol side, dea braddahs aks dem, “How eryting stay ova dea?”

11 Den six hundred guys from da Dan ohana, wit sword an spears fo fight, go out from Zorah an Eshtaol. 12 Wen dey stay go, dey make camp nea Kiriat-Jearim inside Judah. Az why one place west from Kiriat-Jearim get da name “Mahaneh Dan” till today. 13 From dea dey go till dey come up country Efraim side, an come Micah house.

14 Den da five guys dat wen go firs time fo scope out da Laish land tell, “You guys know wat get inside one a dese houses? Get one spesho ves, odda idol kine gods, one idol dey carve, an anodda idol dey wen melt metal fo make um! Now you guys know wat you gotta do.” 15 So dey go in dea, an go da house wea da young Levi guy live wit Micah. Dey tell him, “Aloha!” 16 Da six hundred Dan army guys stay ready fo fight. Dey stan by da gate. 17 Da five guys dat wen scope out da land firs time go inside, an rip off da idol one guy wen carve, an da spesho ves, an da odda idol kine gods, an da idol one guy wen melt metal fo make. Same time, da pries guy an da six hundred guys dat stay ready fo fight stay stan by da gate. 18 Wen da five guys go inside Micah house, an take da idol dey carve, da spesho ves, da odda idol gods, an da idol dey wen melt metal fo make, da pries guy aks dem, “Eh!

19 Dey tell um, “No talk! Go come wit us guys! You goin be jalike da faddah an da pries guy fo all us Dan ohana guys. Mo betta you work fo one big Israel ohana an one big family, an be dea pries, an no jus work fo ony one guy an his blood line, aah?” 20 Da pries guy like wat dey tell. He take da spesho ves, da odda gods, da idol dey carve, an go wit da army guys. 21 Da Dan guys put dea small kids, dea animals, an dea stuffs in front dem, an go way.

22 Wen dey go away litto bit from Micah house, somebody call da guys dat live nea Micah togedda, an dey go chase da Dan peopo. 23 Da Micah guys yell at da Dan guys. Da Dan guys turn aroun an tell Micah, “Bodda you?! How come you yell to yoa guys fo fight?!”

24 Micah tell, “You guys take da gods I wen make, an my pries guy, an go way. Now I no mo notting! How come you guys tell, ‘Bodda you?!’ ”
