Thutan Vaihom Ho 17
1 Phat khatnin Micah kiti pasal khat ana ummin amachu Ephraim thinglhang gamsunga chenga ahi.
And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
2 Nikhat hi aman anu kommah hitin anaseije, “Mikhat nin nasum dangka sankhat le jakhat anaguh jeh'in nangin nana samsetai ti kanajan ahi. Ven nasum gu’achu keima kahi chuleh tun kakomma aumme” ati. Anun adonbutnin, “Nangle nang nakiphon ahin Pathenin phatthei naboh hen” ati.
And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou didst curse, and spoke of also in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my son.
3 Aman sumchu anu komma apelutnin ahileh anun hitin aseije “Tun keiman hiche sapsetna chu kachapa chunga achuhlouna dingin keimatah in hiche sumchu Pakai kommah kakatdoh tai. Hichehi kilhajolla milim doikhat semna kimang ding ahi” ati.
And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it to thee.
4 Hitia chu aman sumchu anu khutna apehlut chun amanun dangka jani chu alan dangka khengpa kommah apelut tan ahileh aman milim doikhat asemdoh tan ahi. Chuleh hichechu Micah insungah akikoitan ahi.
Yet he restored the money to his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the silversmith, who made of it a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
5 Micah hin hiche doi koina dinga hin doiphung khat atung doh in chuleh hiche doihou nading ompho jong asem’in insunga ding phabepjong asemdoh in ahi. Hiche jouchun achate lah a khat chu amachanga din thempun apansah in ahi.
And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
6 Hichelai phatsung chun Israelten leng ananei pouvin mipiho chun amaho deidan dannin ana kimang chaovin ahi.
In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
7 Nikhat chun Judah gam Bethlehem ching golhang khat ahung vahlutnin ahi.
And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
8 Aman Bethlehem chu ahindalhah a chenna ding holla ahung valele leh Ephraim thinglhang gamma hi hung vahlut khat ahi. Hitiahi ahung vale le nalam mahin Micah in na hin ahung vahlut khan ahi.
And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
9 Micah in hoiya konna hung nahim tin anadongin ahi. Aman adonbutnin, “Keihi Levi mi Judah gam Bethlehema kona hung kahin keimahi chenna ding mun holla hung kahi” ati.
And Micah said to him, Where do you come from? And he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
10 Micah in, “Keikomma hin umtan chutileh nang keima dinga mipa leh thempu nahi ding ahi” ati.
And Micah said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy sustenance. So the Levite went in.
11 Levi mipachu ananom in, hitichun hiche golhangpa chu Micah chate khat tobang'in aumtan ahi.
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
12 Hitichun Micah in hiche Levi pachu ama thempu in anapansah in, amajong Micah in'ah anacheng tan ahi.
And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
13 Micah in tunvang Pakaiyin phatthei eiboh ding ahitai, ajeh chu keiman Levi khat thempu a eipan pehding kaneitai ati.
Then said Micah, Now I know that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite for my priest.
