Judges 17
1 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, and his name was Michaias.
Ephraim mon dawk tami buet touh ao. A min teh Mikah doeh.
2 And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred pieces of silver which you took of yourself, and [about which] you cursed me, and spoke in my ears, behold, the silver [is] with me; I took it: and his mother said, Blessed [be] my son of the Lord.
Ahni ni a manu koevah, tangka 1, 100 touh na la pouh e hah nang ni kama ka thainae koe roeroe vah thoe na bo haw. Khenhaw! hote tangka teh kai koe ao. Kai ni ka la payon toe ati. A manu ni, ka capa BAWIPA ni yawhawi poe naseh atipouh.
3 And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, I had wholly consecrated the money to the Lord out of my hand for my son, to make a graven and a molten [image], and now I will restore it to you.
Hahoi tangka 1, 100 touh a manu bout a poe toteh, a manu ni, hete tangka heh, kai kama e kut dawk roeroe hoi ka capa hanlah, meikaphawk sak nahan hoi meikaphawk dêi nahanelah, BAWIPA koe, atuvah bout na poe han atipouh.
4 But he returned the silver to his mother, and his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to a silversmith, and he made it a graven and a molten image; and it was in the house of Michaias.
Hot patetlah tangka hah a manu koe a pâban. Hahoi, a manu ni tangka cumhni touh a la teh, nguntui ka hlun koe a poe. Ahnimouh ni meikaphawk a sak teh, a hlun pouh awh. Hot teh Mikah im vah ao.
5 And the house of Michaias [was] to him the house of God, and he made an ephod and theraphin, and he consecrated one of his sons, and he became to him a priest.
Mikah ni bawkim a tawn. Ephod hoi Terah cathut a sak teh, a capa buet touh hah vaihma thaw a tawk sak.
6 And in those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Hote tueng nah, Isarel ram siangpahrang awm hoeh. Taminaw pueng ni ama ni ahawi ati e patetlah kho a sak awh.
7 And there was a young man in Bethleem of the tribe of Juda, and he [was] a Levite, and he was sojourning there.
Hahoi, Judah ram Bethlehem kho e Levih miphun thoundoun buet touh ao teh, Bethlehem khovah a roe teh,
8 And the man departed from Bethleem the city of Juda to sojourn in whatever place he might find; and he came as far as mount Ephraim, and to the house of Michaias to accomplish his journey.
haw hoi, bout a cei teh, a roe nahane hmuen a tawng teh, Ephraim mon dawk Mikah im vah a pha.
9 And Michaias said to him, Whence come you? and he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethleem Juda, and I go to sojourn in any place I may find.
Mikah ni, nâ lahoi maw na tho atipouh. Ahni ni, Judah ram Bethlehem e Levih tami doeh. O nahan hmuen tawng hoi ka kâva atipouh.
10 And Michaias said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest; and I will give you ten pieces of silver by the year, and a change of raiment, and your living.
Mikah ni, kai koe ma awm lawih. Kai koe na pa lah, vaihma lah awm nateh, kum touh dawk ngun phen hra touh na poe han. Khohna yung touh hoi na cakawi hai na poe han atipouh. Hahoi, Levih tami teh a kâen toe.
11 And the Levite went and began to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
Hahoi Levih tami ni hote tami koe o hanelah a hnâbo teh, hote thoundoun teh a capa buet touh patetlah ao.
12 And Michaias consecrated the Levite, and he became to him a priest, and he was in the house of Michaias.
Mikah ni Levih tami thoundoun teh, vaihma lah a coung sak teh, Mikah im vah ao.
13 And Michaias said, Now I know that the Lord will do me good, because a Levite has become my priest.
Hahoi teh, Mikah ni, atuteh Levih tami teh kaie vaihma lah ka tawn toe. BAWIPA ni kai koe hawinae a sak han tie ka panue telah ati.
