18 ¹Saa nna no mu, na Israel nni ɔhene. Saa bere no na Dan abusuakuw no rehwehwɛ asase a wɔbɛtena so, efisɛ ebesi saa bere no, na wɔnnyaa agyapade biara wɔ Israel mmusuakuw no mu. ²Danfo no somaa mmarima akokodurufo baanum fii wɔn abusua mu, fii Sora ne Estaol, sɛ wɔnkɔsra asase no na wɔnhwehwɛ mu. Wɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monkɔ nkɔhwehwɛ asase no mu.” Woduu Efraim mmepɔw so asase no so, duu Mika fi, na wɔdaa hɔ.

³Bere a wɔbɛn Mika fi no, wɔhuu Lewini aberante no nne, enti wɔdan kɔɔ hɔ kɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Hena na ɔde wo baa ha? Dɛn na woreyɛ wɔ ha? Dɛn na wowɔ wɔ ha?”

⁴Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mika yɛɛ me eyi ne eyi; ɔfaa me paa, na mebɛyɛɛ nʼasɔfo.”

⁵Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛsrɛ wo, bisa yɛn Agya, na yɛahu sɛ akwantu a yɛrekɔ yi bɛsi yie anaa.”

⁶Ɔsɔfo no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Monkɔ asomdwoe mu. Mo akwantu no wɔ yɛn Agya ahwɛ ase.”

⁷Enti mmarima baanum no kɔɔ Lais, na wohuu sɛ ɛhɔfo te ase dwoodwoo, te sɛ Sidonfo—wɔyɛ komm na wɔwɔ ahobammɔ—biribiara nhia wɔn wɔ asase no so, na wɔwɔ ahonyade. Wɔne Sidonfo ntam kwan ware, na wɔne obiara nni nkitahodi. ⁸Bere a wɔsan kɔɔ wɔn abusuafo nkyɛn wɔ Sora ne Estaol no, wobisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na muhui?”

⁹Wɔkae se, “Monsɔre, momma yɛnkɔtow nhyɛ wɔn so! Yɛahu asase no—ɛyɛ papa yiye. Mobɛtena hɔ a morenyɛ hwee? Monntwentwɛn mo nan ase sɛ mobɛkɔ akɔfa asase no. ¹⁰Sɛ moduru hɔ a, mobɛto nnipa a wɔnsusuw hwee ho wɔ asase a ɛtrɛw mu. Yɛn Agya de ama mo—baabi a asase so ade biara nhia hɔ.”

¹¹Dan abusua mu mmarima ahansia a wɔakura akodi akode fii Sora ne Estaol kɔe. ¹²Wɔforoe kɔbɔɔ nsraban wɔ Kiriat-Yearim wɔ Yuda. Ɛno nti na wɔfrɛ hɔ Mahane-Dan de besi nnɛ; ɛda Kiriat-Yearim atɔe fam. ¹³Wofi hɔ twa kɔɔ Efraim mmepɔw so asase no so, na woduu Mika fi.

¹⁴Afei mmarima baanum a wɔkɔsraa Lais asase no ka kyerɛɛ wɔn abusuafo se, “Munim sɛ efi yi mu wɔ efod, efi anyame, ohoni a wɔasen ne ohoni a wɔanan? Enti afei monsusuw nea ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ.” ¹⁵Enti wɔdan kɔɔ hɔ, kɔɔ Lewini aberante no fi, Mika fi, na wokyiaa no. ¹⁶Dan mmarima ahansia a wɔakura akode no gyinaa pon no ano. ¹⁷Mmarima baanum a wɔkɔsraa asase no kɔɔ mu kɔfaa ohoni a wɔasen no, efod no, efi anyame no ne ohoni a wɔanan no, bere a ɔsɔfo no ne mmarima ahansia a wɔakura akode no gyina pon no ano no.

¹⁸Bere a mmarima yi kɔɔ Mika fi kɔfaa ohoni a wɔasen no, efod no, efi anyame no ne ohoni a wɔanan no, ɔsɔfo no bisaa wɔn se, “Dɛn na moreyɛ yi?”

¹⁹Wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Yɛ komm! Fa wo nsa to wʼano so, na wo ne yɛn nkɔ. Bɛyɛ yɛn agya ne yɛn ɔsɔfo. Ɛhe na eye ma wo: sɛ wobɛyɛ onipa baako fi ɔsɔfo, anaasɛ wobɛyɛ Israel abusuakuw ne abusua bi ɔsɔfo?”

²⁰Ɔsɔfo no koma tew. Ɔfaa efod no, efi anyame no ne ohoni a wɔasen no, na ɔkɔɔ nnipa no mu. ²¹Afei wɔdan wɔn ho kɔe, na wɔde mmofra no, mmoa no ne wɔn agyapade dii wɔn anim. ²²Bere a wɔafi Mika fi akɔ akyiri kakra no, wɔfrɛɛ mmarima a wɔte Mika fi ho no ano, na wɔtaa Danfo no kɔtoo wɔn. ²³Wɔteɛɛm frɛɛ Danfo no, na Danfo no dan wɔn ho ka kyerɛɛ Mika se, “Dɛn na ɛhaw wo a woafrɛ wo mmarima ano yi?”

²⁴Ɔkae se, “Moafa anyame a meyɛe no ne ɔsɔfo no, na moakɔ. Dɛn na aka me? Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na mobisa me se, ‘Dɛn na ɛhaw wo?’”

²⁵Danfo no ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Mma yɛnte wo nne wɔ yɛn mu, anyɛ saa a, mmarima a wɔn bo afuw bɛtow ahyɛ wo so, na wo ne wo fifo nyinaa bɛhwere mo nkwa.”

²⁶Danfo no toaa wɔn kwan so; na bere a Mika huu sɛ wɔn ho yɛ den sen no no, ɔdan ne ho san kɔɔ fie. ²⁷Wɔfaa nea Mika ayɛ no ne nʼasɔfo no, na woduu Lais—nnipa a wɔyɛ komm na wɔnsusuw hwee ho—de akofena ano kunkum wɔn, na wɔde ogya hyew kurow no. ²⁸Obiara antumi annye wɔn, efisɛ kurow no wɔ akyirikyiri fi Sidon, na ɛne obiara nni nkitahodi. Na ɛwɔ bon a ɛyɛ Bet-Rehob dea no mu. Danfo no san kyekyeree kurow no, na wɔtenaa mu. ²⁹Wɔtoo kurow no din Dan, wɔ wɔn nana Dan a ɔyɛ Israel ba no din so; nanso kan no, na kurow no din de Lais. ³⁰Danfo no sii ohoni a wɔasen no maa wɔn ho. Yonatan a ɔyɛ Gersom ba, Mose ba no, ne ne mmabarima yɛɛ Danfo abusuakuw no asɔfo kosii da a wɔfaa asase no so nnipa nnommum no. ³¹Wɔsii ohoni a wɔasen a Mika yɛe no maa wɔn ho, bere a yɛn Agya fi wɔ Silo no nyinaa.
