1 Byl pak muž nějaký s hory Efraim, jehož jméno bylo Mícha.
And there was a man of mount Ephraim, and his name was Michaias.
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 pieces of silver which you took of yourself, and [about which] you cursed me, and spoke in my ears, behold, the silver [is] with me; I took it: and his mother said, Blessed [be] my son of the Lord.
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 restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, I had wholly consecrated the money to the Lord out of my hand for my son, to make a graven and a molten [image], and now I will restore it to you.
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.
But he returned the silver to his mother, and his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to a silversmith, and he made it a graven and a molten image; and it was in the house of Michaias.
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 house of Michaias [was] to him the house of God, and he made an ephod and theraphin, and he consecrated one of his sons, and he became to him a priest.
6 Toho času nebylo krále v Izraeli; jeden každý, což se mu za dobré vidělo, to činil.
And in those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
7 Byl pak mládenec z Betléma Judova, totiž z čeledi Judovy, kterýž, jsa Levíta, byl tam pohostinu.
And there was a young man in Bethleem of the tribe of Juda, and he [was] a Levite, and he was sojourning there.
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 the man departed from Bethleem the city of Juda to sojourn in whatever place he might find; and he came as far as mount Ephraim, and to the house of Michaias to accomplish his journey.
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 Michaias said to him, Whence come you? and he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethleem Juda, and I go to sojourn in any place I may find.
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.
And Michaias 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 change of raiment, and your living.
11 Líbilo se pak Levítovi zůstati u muže toho, a byl u něho mládenec ten, jako jeden z synů jeho.
And the Levite went and began to dwell with the man; and the young man was 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 Michaias consecrated the Levite, and he became to him a priest, and he was in the house of Michaias.
13 Řekl pak Mícha: Nyníť vím, že mi dobře učiní Hospodin, proto že mám toho Levítu za kněze.
And Michaias said, Now I know that the Lord will do me good, because a Levite has become my priest.
