Sudcov 17
1 Byl pak muž nějaký s hory Efraim, jehož jméno bylo Mícha.
Now there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim named Micah.
2 Kterýž řekl matce své: Ten tisíc a sto stříbrných, kteříž vzati byli tobě, pro něž jsi zlořečila a mluvilas přede mnou, hle, stříbro to u mne jest, já jsem je vzal. I řekla matka jeho: Požehnaný jsi, synu můj, od Hospodina.
And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver which were taken from you, about which you took an oath and said in my hearing, I have given this silver to the Lord from my hand for myself, to make a pictured image and a metal image: see, I have the silver, for I took it: so now I will give it back to you. And his mother said, May the blessing of the Lord be on my son.
3 Navrátil tedy ten tisíc a sto stříbrných matce své. I řekla matka jeho: Jižť jsem zajisté posvětila stříbro to Hospodinu z ruky své, a tobě synu svému, aby udělán byl obraz rytý a slitý. Protož nyní dám je tobě.
And he gave back the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, and his mother said, I have made the silver holy to the Lord from me for my son, to make a pictured image and a metal image.
4 On pak navrátil to stříbro matce své, z něhož vzala matka jeho dvě stě stříbrných, a dala zlatníku. I udělal z nich obraz rytý a slitý, kterýž byl v domě Míchově.
So he gave the silver back to his mother. Then his mother took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to a metal-worker who made a pictured image and a metal image from them: and it was in the house of Micah.
5 Měl pak ten Mícha chrám bohů, i udělal efod a terafim, a naplnil ruce jednoho z synů svých, aby mu byl knězem.
And the man Micah had a house of gods; and he made an ephod and family gods and put one of his sons in the position of priest.
6 Toho času nebylo krále v Izraeli; jeden každý, což se mu za dobré vidělo, to činil.
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did as seemed right to him.
7 Byl pak mládenec z Betléma Judova, totiž z čeledi Judovy, kterýž, jsa Levíta, byl tam pohostinu.
Now there was a young man living in Beth-lehem-judah, of the family of Judah and a Levite, who was not a townsman of the place.
8 Odšel tedy člověk ten z města Betléma Judova, aby byl pohostinu, kdež by se mu koli nahodilo. I přišel na horu Efraim, až k domu Míchovu, jda cestou svou.
And he went away from the town of Beth-lehem-judah, looking for somewhere to make his living-place; and on his journey he came to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah.
9 Jemuž řekl Mícha: Odkud jdeš? Odpověděl mu: Já jsem Levíta, z Betléma Judova beru se, abych byl pohostinu, kdež by mi se koli nahodilo.
And Micah said to him, Where do you come from? And he said to him, I am a Levite from Beth-lehem-judah, and I am looking for a living-place.
10 I řekl jemu Mícha: Zůstaň u mne, a buď mi za otce a za kněze, a buduť dávati deset stříbrných na každý rok, a dvoje roucho i stravu tvou. I šel Levíta.
Then Micah said to him, Make your living-place with me, and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten shekels of silver a year and your clothing and food.
11 Líbilo se pak Levítovi zůstati u muže toho, a byl u něho mládenec ten, jako jeden z synů jeho.
And the Levite said he would make his living-place with the man, and he became to him as one of his sons.
12 I posvětil Mícha rukou Levíty, a byl mu mládenec ten za kněze; i bydlil v domě jeho.
And Micah gave the position to the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
13 Řekl pak Mícha: Nyníť vím, že mi dobře učiní Hospodin, proto že mám toho Levítu za kněze.
Then Micah said, Now I am certain that the Lord will do me good, seeing that the Levite has become my priest.
