Judges 17
1 Now there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim named Micah.
Tam je bil mož z gore Efrájim, katerega ime je bilo Miha.
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.
Ta je rekel svoji materi: »Tisoč sto šeklov srebra, ki so bili vzeti od tebe, glede katerih si preklinjala in glede katerih si govorila tudi v moja ušesa, glej, srebro je z menoj. Jaz sem ga vzel.« Njegova mati je rekla: »Blagoslovljen bodi od Gospoda, moj sin.«
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.
Ko je svoji materi povrnil tisoč sto šeklov srebra, je njegova mati rekla: »Srebro sem v celoti posvetila Gospodu, od svoje roke za svojega sina, da se naredi rezana podoba in ulita podoba. Sedaj ti ga bom torej povrnila.«
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.
Vendar je denar vrnil svoji materi in njegova mati je vzela dvesto šeklov srebra in jih dala livarju, ki je iz njih naredil rezano podobo in ulito podobo in bili sta v Mihovi hiši.
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.
Mož Miha je imel hišo bogov in naredil efód in družinskega malika in uméstil enega izmed svojih sinov, ki je postal njegov duhovnik.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did as seemed right to him.
V tistih dneh ni bilo kralja v Izraelu, temveč je vsak človek počel to, kar je bilo pravilno v njegovih lastnih očeh.
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.
Tam je bil mladenič iz Judovega Betlehema, iz Judove družine, ki je bil Lévijevec in se je mudil tam.
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.
Človek je odrinil iz mesta, iz Judovega Betlehema, da začasno prebiva, kjer bi lahko našel prostor in ko je potoval, je prišel do gore Efrájim, k Mihovi hiši.
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.
Miha mu je rekel: »Od kod prihajaš?« Odgovoril mu je: »Jaz sem Lévijevec iz Judovega Betlehema in grem, da začasno prebivam tam, kjer bom lahko našel prostor.«
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.
Miha mu je rekel: »Prebivaj z menoj in bodi mi oče in duhovnik, jaz pa ti bom ob letu dajal deset šeklov srebra in opremo oblačila in živež.« Tako je Lévijevec vstopil.
11 And the Levite said he would make his living-place with the man, and he became to him as one of his sons.
Lévijevec je bil zadovoljen, da prebiva z možem in mladenič mu je bil kakor eden izmed njegovih sinov.
12 And Micah gave the position to the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
Miha je uméstil Lévijevca in mladenič je postal njegov duhovnik in bil je v Mihovi hiši.
13 Then Micah said, Now I am certain that the Lord will do me good, seeing that the Levite has become my priest.
Potem je Miha rekel: »Sedaj vem, da mi bo Gospod storil dobro, glede na to, da imam Lévijevca za svojega duhovnika.«
