Dommer 17
1 Og der var en Mand fra Efraims Bjerg, og hans Navn var Mika.
And he was a man from [the] hill country of Ephraim and name his [was] Micaiah.
2 Og han sagde til sin Moder: De tusinde og hundrede Sekel Sølv, som ere tagne fra dig, og om hvilke du har udtalt en Forbandelse og sagt det endog i mit Paahør, se, det Sølv er hos mig, jeg har taget det; da sagde hans Moder: Velsignet være du, min Søn, for Herren!
And he said to mother his one thousand and one hundred the silver which it was taken to you (and you *Q(K)*) you cursed and also you said in ears my here! the silver [is] with me I I took it and she said mother his [be] blessed son my by Yahweh.
3 Saa gav han sin Moder de tusinde og hundrede Sekel Sølv tilbage; og hans Moder sagde: Jeg har helliget Herren det Sølv fra min Haand for min Søn til at gøre et udskaaret og støbt Billede, derfor giver jeg dig det nu tilbage.
And he brought back [the] one thousand and one hundred the silver to mother his and she said mother his certainly I consecrate the silver to Yahweh from hand my for son my to make a carved image and a molten image and therefore I will return it to you.
4 Men han gav sin Moder Sølvet tilbage; da tog hans Moder to Hundrede Sekel Sølv og gav Guldsmeden det, og han gjorde et udskaaret og støbt Billede deraf, og det var i Mikas Hus.
And he brought back the silver to mother his and she took mother his two hundred silver and she gave it to the silversmith and he made it a carved image and a molten image and it was in [the] house of Micaiah.
5 Og den Mand Mika havde et Guds Hus, og han gjorde en Livkjortel og Husguder og fyldte een af sine Sønners Haand, at han blev hans Præst.
And the man Micah [belonged] to him a house of God and he made an ephod and teraphim and he filled [the] hand of one from sons his and he became of him a priest.
6 I de samme Dage var ingen Konge i Israel; hver gjorde, hvad ret var for hans Øjne.
In the days those there not [was] a king in Israel everyone the right in view his he did.
7 Og der var en ung Karl fra Bethlehem i Juda, af Judas Slægt; men han var en Levit, og han var fremmed der.
And he was a young man from Beth-lehem Judah from [the] tribe of Judah and he [was] a Levite and he [was] sojourning there.
8 Men denne Mand gik fra Staden Bethlehem i Juda for at opholde sig, hvor han fandt Lejlighed; og han kom paa Efraims Bjerg til Mikas Hus for at fortsætte sin Vej.
And he went the man from the city from Beth-lehem Judah to sojourn in where he will find and he came [the] hill country of Ephraim to [the] house of Micah to make journey his.
9 Da sagde Mika til ham: Hvorfra kommer du? og han sagde til ham: Jeg er en Levit fra Bethlehem i Juda, og jeg gaar hen for at opholde mig, hvor jeg finder en Lejlighed.
And he said to him Micah from where? do you come and he said to him [am] a Levite I from Beth-lehem Judah and I [am] going to sojourn in where I will find.
10 Da sagde Mika til ham: Bliv hos mig, og bliv min Fader og Præst, saa vil jeg hvert Aar give dig ti Sekel Sølv og behørige Klæder og din Føde; og Leviten gik ind.
And he said to him Micah remain! with me and become of me a father and a priest and I I will give to you ten silver to the days and an order of garments and sustenance your and he went the Levite.
11 Og Leviten samtykkede i at blive hos Manden; og den unge Karl var ham som en af hans Sønner.
And he was willing the Levite to dwell with the man and he was the young man to him like one from sons his.
12 Og Mika fyldte Levitens Haand, og den unge Karl blev hans Præst; og han var i Mikas Hus.
And he filled Micah [the] hand of the Levite and he became of him the young man a priest and he was in [the] house of Micah.
13 Og Mika sagde: Nu ved jeg, at Herren skal gøre vel imod mig, efterdi jeg har en Levit til Præst.
And he said Micah now I know that he will do good Yahweh to me for he has become of me the Levite a priest.
