Judges 17
1 And there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
Eso afaega Ifala: ime agolo soge ganodini, dunu afae ea dio amo Maiga esalu.
2 And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou uttered a curse, and also spoke it in my ears, behold, the silver is with me. I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be my son from Jehovah.
Maiga da ea amema amane sia: i, “Musa: dunu afae da dima silifa fage 1,100 wamolaloba, di da amo dunuma gagabusu aligima: ne ilegei. Amo na da nabi. Be wali, di ba: ma. Na da amo muni gagusa. Amo wamolasu dunu da na.” Ea ame da amane sia: i, “Nagofe! Hina Gode da dima hahawane dogolegele hamomu da defea.”
3 And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother. And his mother said, I verily dedicate the silver to Jehovah from my hand for my son to make a graven image and a molten image. Now therefore I will restore it to thee.
E da amo muni ea amema bu i. Ea ame da amane sia: i, “Amo gagabusu aligima: ne da na mano ema doaga: sa: besa: le, na da amo silifa Hina Godema imunu. Amoga ninia da ifa ‘gode’ hamone, silifa amoga dedebomu. Na da amo silifa dima bu iaha.”
4 And when he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made of it a graven image and a molten image. And it was in the house of Micah.
Amalalu, e da ea amema bu i. Ea ame da silifa fage 200 amo lale, gula hahamosu dunuma i. E da ifa amo osole dedene, ogogosu loboga hamoi ‘gode’ hamone, silifa amoga dedeboi. Ilia da amo loboga hamoi liligi Maiga ea diasu ganodini ligisi.
5 And the man Micah had a house of gods, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
Amo dunu Maiga da hi sia: ne gadosu diasu gagui galu. E da loboga hamoi ‘gode’ eno amola “ifode” (gobele salasu dunu ea da: i salasu) hamone, ea dunu mano afae amo gobele salasu hawa: hamoma: ne ilegei.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel. Every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Amo esoga, hina bagade dunu da Isala: ili soge ganodini hame esalu. Dunu huluane da afae afae hi hanaiga fawane hamosu.
7 And there was a young man out of Bethlehem-judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
Amo esoha, Lifai fi ayeligi afae da Bedeleheme moilai Yuda soge ganodini esalu.
8 And the man departed out of the city, out of Bethlehem-judah, to sojourn where he could find a place. And he came to the hill-country of Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
E da Bedeleheme fisili, fimu soge hogomusa: asi. E da ahoanoba, Maiga ea diasu Ifala: ime agolo soge ganodini galu, amoga doaga: i.
9 And Micah said to him, From where come thou? And he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethlehem-judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
Maiga da ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da habidili misibala: ?” E bu adole i, “Na da Lifai fi dunu. Na da Bedeleheme moilai Yuda soge ganodini amoga esalu. Na da fimu sogebi hogosa.”
10 And Micah said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten pieces of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy food. So the Levite went in.
Maiga da ema amane sia: i, “Na sigi esaloma! Di da na fidisu dunu amola gobele salasu dunu esalumu da defea. Na da dima silifa fage nabuane gala amola dia abula amola ha: i manu imunu.”
11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man, and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
Lifai ayeligi da Maigama esaloma: ne sia: i. E da egefe agoane hamosu.
12 And Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
Maiga da ema gobele salasu hawa: hamosu ilegei amola e da Maiga ea diasu ganodini esalu.
13 Then Micah said, Now I know that Jehovah will do me good, seeing I have a Levite for my priest.
Maiga da amane sia: i, “Defea! Wali Lifai dunu da na gobele salasu dunu esala. Amaiba: le, na dawa: ! Hina Gode da na hou amola na liligi huluane hahawane dogolegele hahamomu.”
