1 Bijaše u Efrajimovoj gori čovjek po imenu Mikajehu.
In that tyme was a man, `Mycas bi name, of the hil of Effraym.
2 On reče majci: “Tisuću i sto srebrnih šekela što su ti ukradeni i zbog kojih si izustila kletvu - uši su je moje čule - taj je novac kod mene, ja sam ga uzeo.” Mati mu odgovori: “Jahve te blagoslovio, sine moj!”
And he seide to his modir, Lo! Y haue a thousynde `and an hundrid platis of siluer, whiche thou departidist to thee, and on whiche thou sworist, while Y herde, and tho ben at me. To whom sche answeride, Blessid be my sone of the Lord.
3 I Mikajehu vrati joj tisuću i sto srebrnih šekela. A mati mu njegova reče: “Te sam novce posvetila Jahvi iz svoje ruke za tebe, sine moj, da se izdjela za to rezan ili ljeven idol. I evo, za to ih dajem.”
Therefor he yeldide tho to his modir; and sche seide to hym, Y halewide and avowide this siluer to the Lord, that my sone resseyue of myn hond, and make a grauun ymage and a yotun ymage; and now I `yyue it to thee.
4 Majka uze dvije stotine srebrnih šekela i dade ih zlataru. On načini od njih rezani i ljeveni idol koji postaviše u Mikajehuovoj novoj kući.
Therfor he yeldide to his modir; and sche took twei hundryd platis of siluer, and yaf tho to a werk man of siluer, that he schulde make of tho a grauun `ymage and yotun, that was in `the hows of Mycas.
5 On mu sagradi svetište, zatim načini efod i terafe te posveti jednoga od svojih sinova da mu bude svećenik.
Which departide also a litil hous ther ynne to God; and made ephod, and theraphym, that is, a preestis cloth, and ydols; and he fillide the hond of oon of his sones, and he was maad a preest to hym.

In tho daies was no kyng in Israel, but ech man dide this, that semyde riytful to hym silf.
7 Bijaše neki mladić iz Betlehema u Judi, iz Judina plemena; bio je levit i boravio je ondje kao došljak.

8 Taj čovjek ode iz grada Betlehema u Judi da se nastani na kakvu prikladnu mjestu kao došljak. Putujući, dođe u Efrajimovu goru do Mikine kuće.
