Judges 17
1 Now there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim named Micah.
И бысть муж от горы Ефремли, и имя ему Миха:
2 And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver which were taken from you, about which you took an oath and said in my hearing, I have given this silver to the Lord from my hand for myself, to make a pictured image and a metal image: see, I have the silver, for I took it: so now I will give it back to you. And his mother said, May the blessing of the Lord be on my son.
и рече матери своей: тысяща и сто сребреников иже украдены у тебе, и заклинала мя еси и глаголала еси во ушы мои: се, сребро у мене, аз взях е. И рече мати его: благословен сын мой Господеви.
3 And he gave back the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, and his mother said, I have made the silver holy to the Lord from me for my son, to make a pictured image and a metal image.
И отдаде тысящу и сто сребреников матери своей. И рече мати его: освящающи освятих сребро Господеви от руки моея, тебе сынови моему сотворити (кумир) изваян и слиян, и ныне отдам е тебе.
4 So he gave the silver back to his mother. Then his mother took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to a metal-worker who made a pictured image and a metal image from them: and it was in the house of Micah.
И отдаде сребро матери своей. И взя мати его двести сребреников и даде их среброделю, и сотвори тое (кумир) изваян и слиян: и бысть в дому Михи.
5 And the man Micah had a house of gods; and he made an ephod and family gods and put one of his sons in the position of priest.
И дом Михин ему дом Божий. И сотвори ефуд и ферафин: и наполни руку единому от сынов своих, и бысть ему жрец.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did as seemed right to him.
В тыя же дни не бяше царя во Израили: кийждо муж, еже право видяшеся пред очима его, творяше.
7 Now there was a young man living in Beth-lehem-judah, of the family of Judah and a Levite, who was not a townsman of the place.
И бысть юноша от Вифлеема Иудина и от рода племене Иудина, и сей левитин, и обиташе тамо:
8 And he went away from the town of Beth-lehem-judah, looking for somewhere to make his living-place; and on his journey he came to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah.
и пойде сей муж от града Вифлеема Иудина обитати, идеже обрящет место: и прииде до горы Ефремли и даже до дому Михина, еже сотворити путь свой.
9 And Micah said to him, Where do you come from? And he said to him, I am a Levite from Beth-lehem-judah, and I am looking for a living-place.
И рече ему Миха: откуду идеши? И рече ему левитин: аз есмь от Вифлеема Иудина, и иду обитати, идеже обрящу место.
10 Then Micah said to him, Make your living-place with me, and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten shekels of silver a year and your clothing and food.
И рече ему Миха: седи со мною и буди ми отец и жрец, и аз дам тебе сребреников десять в год и двои ризы, и яже на житие тебе.
11 And the Levite said he would make his living-place with the man, and he became to him as one of his sons.
И пойде левит, и нача обитати у мужа. И бысть юноша ему яко един от сынов его.
12 And Micah gave the position to the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
И наполни Миха руку левитину, и бысть ему юноша жрец, и бяше в дому Михи.
13 Then Micah said, Now I am certain that the Lord will do me good, seeing that the Levite has become my priest.
И рече Миха: ныне уведех, яко благосотворит мне Господь, яко бысть мне левитин жрец.
