Judges 17
1 And there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
fuit eo tempore vir quidam de monte Ephraim nomine Michas
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.
qui dixit matri suae mille centum argenteos quos separaveras tibi et super quibus me audiente iuraveras ecce ego habeo et apud me sunt cui illa respondit benedictus filius meus Domino
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.
reddidit ergo eos matri suae quae dixerat ei consecravi et vovi argentum hoc Domino ut de manu mea suscipiat filius meus et faciat sculptile atque conflatile et nunc trado illud tibi
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.
reddidit igitur matri suae quae tulit ducentos argenteos et dedit eos argentario ut faceret ex eis sculptile atque conflatile quod fuit in domo Micha
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.
qui aediculam quoque in ea Deo separavit et fecit ephod ac therafin id est vestem sacerdotalem et idola implevitque unius filiorum suorum manum et factus est ei sacerdos
6 In those days there was no king in Israel. Every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
in diebus illis non erat rex in Israhel sed unusquisque quod sibi rectum videbatur hoc faciebat
7 And there was a young man out of Bethlehem-judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
fuit quoque alter adulescens de Bethleem Iuda et cognatione eius eratque ipse Levites et habitabat ibi
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.
egressusque de civitate Bethleem peregrinari voluit ubicumque sibi commodum repperisset cumque venisset in monte Ephraim iter faciens et declinasset parumper in domum Micha
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.
interrogatus est ab eo unde venis qui respondit Levita sum de Bethleem Iuda et vado ut habitem ubi potuero et utile mihi esse perspexero
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.
mane inquit apud me et esto mihi parens ac sacerdos daboque tibi per annos singulos decem argenteos ac vestem duplicem et quae ad victum necessaria sunt
11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man, and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
adquievit et mansit apud hominem fuitque illi quasi unus de filiis
12 And Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
implevitque Micha manum eius et habuit apud se puerum sacerdotem
13 Then Micah said, Now I know that Jehovah will do me good, seeing I have a Levite for my priest.
nunc scio dicens quod bene mihi faciat Deus habenti levitici generis sacerdotem
