< Judges 17 >
1 In that time, there was a certain man, from mount Ephraim, named Micah.
Hagi mago nera Efraemi agona kokampi nemania ne' agi'a Maika'e.
2 And he said to his mother, “The one thousand one hundred silver coins, which you had separated for yourself, and about which you had sworn in my hearing, behold, I have them, and they are with me.” And she answered him, “My son has been blessed by the Lord.”
Mago kna nererankura amanage hu'ne, nagra nentahugenka 1tausen 100'a silva zagoma musufama erizagenka kazusi ke huzamante'nane. E'ina zagoa nagra musufa eri'noe. Higeno nerera'a kenona huno, hufore'ma hantera Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hugantesie,
3 Therefore, he restored them to his mother. And she said to him: “I have consecrated and vowed this silver to the Lord, so that my son would receive it from my hand, and would make a molten idol and a graven image. And now I deliver it to you.”
higeno'a ana 1tausen 100'a silva zagoa erino nerera ome amigeno nerera'a amanage hu'ne, Menina nagra ama'na zagoa nenamofonku hu'na Ra Anumzamofo amuanki'na kaza osu havi anumzamofo amema'a tro'ma nehaza vahe zaminuge'za tro hute'za eme kamigahaze.
4 And when he restored these to his mother, she took two hundred of the silver coins, and she gave them to the silversmith, so that he might make from them a molten idol and a graven image. And it was in the house of Micah.
Anage nehuno nerera'a 200'a silva zagoa erino zafare'ma antre'zama silvama rukamre'za keonke'zama tro'ma nehaza vahe ome zamizage'za, eri'za vahe amema'a tro nehu'za, magora silvaretike tro hu'za eme amizageno erino Maika nompi ome ante'ne.
5 And he also separated in it a little shrine for the god. And he made an ephod and theraphim, that is, a priestly garment and idols. And he filled the hand of one of his sons, and he became his priest.
Hagi Maika'a osi mono noma'a me'neankino, pristi vahe kukena tro huno efotie nehaza amimizare rente'za trohunteno mofavreramima'afinti mago'mofo pristi manisie huno huhamprinte'ne.
6 In those days, there was no king in Israel. Instead, each one did what seemed right to himself.
E'ina knafina Israeli vahepina mago kinia omani'neankino mago mago vahe'mo'a agra'a avesite kegeno avure'ma fatgoma hiazana hutere hu'ne.
7 Also, there was another young man, from Bethlehem of Judah, one of his relatives. And he himself was a Levite, and he was living there.
Hagi mago knazupa Juda nagapinti mago Livae nehaza ne'mo'a Betlehem kumate Juda mopafi nemaniane.
8 Then, departing from the city of Bethlehem, he wished to sojourn wherever he would find it beneficial to himself. And when he had arrived at mount Ephraim, while making the journey, he also turned aside for a little while to the house of Micah.
Hagi Juda mopafinti Betlehemu kumara atreno kuma'ma manisia kumaku hakeno vu'ne. Hagi anama nevuno'a Efraemi agona kokampi vuno Maika nonte uhanati'ne.
9 And he was asked by him where he came from. And he responded: “I am a Levite from Bethlehem of Judah. And I am traveling so that I may live where I am able, if I perceive it to be useful to me.”
Anama uhanatigeno'a Maika'a amanage huno hu'ne, kagra igati ane? Huno antahigegeno amanage huno ana ne'mo'a hu'ne. Nagra Livae ne' Juda mopafi Betlehemu kumate nemanua ne'mo'na mani'nua kumaku hake'na neoe.
10 And Micah said: “Stay with me. And you shall be to me like a parent and a priest. And I will give to you, each year, ten silver coins, and a double-layered garment, and whatever provisions are necessary.”
Higeno Maika'a amanage hu'ne, Nenfa kna hunka nagri'ene mani'nenka, pristi eri'za vaheni'a manio. Hagi mago mago kafufina 10ni'a Silva zagone kukenane ne'zanena kamigahue, higeno ana ne'mo'a ufre'ne.
11 He agreed, and he stayed with the man. And he was to him like one of his sons.
Hagi Livae nehazamo'a muse nehuno Maika nemofoza higeno,
12 And Micah filled his hand, and he had the young man with him as his priest,
Maika'a ana Livae nehazavea pristi mani'nie huno azeri ruotage higeno, Maika nompi pristi eri'za ne' mani'ne.
13 saying: “Now I know that God will be good to me, since I have a priest from the stock of the Levites.”
Ana nehuno Maika'a anage hu'ne, nagra menima nagesama antahuana, Livae ne' pristia azeri otuankino Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hunantegahie hu'ne.
