1 Ephraim mon dawk tami buet touh ao. A min teh Mikah doeh.
There was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
2 Ahni ni a manu koevah, tangka 1, 100 touh na la pouh e hah nang ni kama ka thainae koe roeroe vah thoe na bo haw. Khenhaw! hote tangka teh kai koe ao. Kai ni ka la payon toe ati. A manu ni, ka capa BAWIPA ni yawhawi poe naseh atipouh.
And he said to his mother, "The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse, and also spoke it in my ears, look, the silver is with me; I took it, but now I will restore it to you." And his mother said, "Blessed be my son by the LORD."
3 Hahoi tangka 1, 100 touh a manu bout a poe toteh, a manu ni, hete tangka heh, kai kama e kut dawk roeroe hoi ka capa hanlah, meikaphawk sak nahan hoi meikaphawk dêi nahanelah, BAWIPA koe, atuvah bout na poe han atipouh.
And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, "I most certainly dedicate the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make an engraved image and a molten image."
4 Hot patetlah tangka hah a manu koe a pâban. Hahoi, a manu ni tangka cumhni touh a la teh, nguntui ka hlun koe a poe. Ahnimouh ni meikaphawk a sak teh, a hlun pouh awh. Hot teh Mikah im vah ao.
When he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made of it an engraved image and a molten image: and it was in the house of Micah.
5 Mikah ni bawkim a tawn. Ephod hoi Terah cathut a sak teh, a capa buet touh hah vaihma thaw a tawk sak.
The man Micah had a house of God, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
6 Hote tueng nah, Isarel ram siangpahrang awm hoeh. Taminaw pueng ni ama ni ahawi ati e patetlah kho a sak awh.
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
7 Hahoi, Judah ram Bethlehem kho e Levih miphun thoundoun buet touh ao teh, Bethlehem khovah a roe teh,
There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there.
8 haw hoi, bout a cei teh, a roe nahane hmuen a tawng teh, Ephraim mon dawk Mikah im vah a pha.
The man departed out of the city, out of Bethlehem Judah, to live where he could find a place, and he came to the hill country of Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he traveled.
9 Mikah ni, nâ lahoi maw na tho atipouh. Ahni ni, Judah ram Bethlehem e Levih tami doeh. O nahan hmuen tawng hoi ka kâva atipouh.
Micah said to him, "Where did you come from?" He said to him, "I am a Levite of Bethlehem Judah, and I am going to settle wherever I may find a place."
10 Mikah ni, kai koe ma awm lawih. Kai koe na pa lah, vaihma lah awm nateh, kum touh dawk ngun phen hra touh na poe han. Khohna yung touh hoi na cakawi hai na poe han atipouh. Hahoi, Levih tami teh a kâen toe.
Micah said to him, "Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver by the year, and a suit of clothing, and your food." So the Levite went in.
11 Hahoi Levih tami ni hote tami koe o hanelah a hnâbo teh, hote thoundoun teh a capa buet touh patetlah ao.
The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
12 Mikah ni Levih tami thoundoun teh, vaihma lah a coung sak teh, Mikah im vah ao.
Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
13 Hahoi teh, Mikah ni, atuteh Levih tami teh kaie vaihma lah ka tawn toe. BAWIPA ni kai koe hawinae a sak han tie ka panue telah ati.
Then Micah said, "Now I know that the LORD will do good to me, seeing I have a Levite as my priest."
