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 Omiyo nodwokone min mare fedha, kendo min-gi nokawo fedha ma pekne romo kilo ariyo gi nus mi ochiwogi ne jatheth, mane olosogi e kido mar nyasaye milamo. Kendo noketgi e od Mika.

5 Koro ngʼatni ma nyinge ne Mika neni gikare mar lemo, kendo noloso law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod kod nyisechegi kendo noketo achiel kuom yawuote kaka jadolo.

In tho daies was no kyng in Israel, but ech man dide this, that semyde riytful to hym silf.
7 Rawera ma ja-Lawi moa Bethlehem e piny Juda, mane osebedo kodak gi anywola jo-Juda,
Also another yonge wexynge man was of Bethleem of Juda, of the kynrede therof, `that is, of Juda, and he was a dekene, and dwellide there.
8 nowuok Bethlehem mondo omany kama onyalo dakie. Kane pod odhi nyime gi wuoth, nodhi e od Mika mantiere e piny gode mag Efraim.
