Judges 17
1 There was at that time a man of mount Ephraim whose name was Michas,
Adda ti maysa a lalaki idiay katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim, ken ti naganna ket Mica.
2 Who said to his mother: The eleven hundred pieces of silver, which thou hadst put aside for thyself, and concerning which thou didst swear in my hearing, behold I have, and they are with me. And she said to him: Blessed be my son by the Lord.
Kinunana iti inana, “Dagiti 1, 100 a pidaso ti pirak a naala idi kenka, a nagsaoam iti lunod a nangngegko—adtoy kitaem! Adda kaniak ti pirak. Tinakawko daytoy.” Kinuna ti inana, “Bendisionannaka koma ni Yahweh, anakko!”
3 So he restored them to his mother, who said to him: I have consecrated and vowed this silver to the Lord, that my son may receive it at my hand, and make a graven and a molten god, so now I deliver it to thee.
Insublina ti 1, 100 a pidaso ti pirak iti inana ket kinuna ti inana, “Inlasinko daytoy a pirak para kenni Yahweh, a maipaay iti anakko a mangaramid iti ladawan a kayo a kinitikitan ken sinukog a landok a ladawan. Ita ngarud, isublik daytoy kenka.”
4 And he restored them to his mother: and she took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to the silversmith, to make of them a graven and a molten god, which was in the house of Michas.
Idi insublina ti kuarta iti inana, nangala ti inana iti dua gasut a pidaso ti pirak ket intedna dagitoy iti agpanpanday a nangaramid kadagitoy iti ladawan a kayo a kinitikitan ken sinukog a landok a ladawan. Naikabil daytoy iti balay ni Mica.
5 And he separated also therein a little temple for the god, and made an ephod, and theraphim, that is to say, a priestly garment, and idols: and he filled the hand of one of his sons, and he became his priest.
Ti lalaki a ni Mica ket addaan iti maysa a balay dagiti didiosen ken nangaramid isuna iti maysa nga efod ken didiosen iti bumalay, ket indatonna ti maysa kadagiti putotna a lallaki nga agbalin a padina.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every one did that which seemed right to himself.
Awan ti ari iti Israel kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, ket inaramid idi iti tunggal maysa ti pagarupda nga umno kadagiti bukodna a panagkita.
7 There was also another young man of Bethlehem Juda, of the kindred thereof: and he was a Levite, and dwelt there.
Ita, adda ti maysa nga agtutubo iti Betlehem idiay Juda, iti pamilia ni Juda, a maysa a Levita. Nagnaed isuna idiay tapno tungpalenna ti pagrebbenganna.
8 Now he went out from the city of Bethlehem, and desired to sojourn wheresoever he should find it convenient for him. And when he was come to mount Ephraim, as he was on his journey, and had turned aside a little into the house of Michas,
Pinanawan ti lalaki ti Betlehem idiay Juda tapno mapan agsapul iti lugar a pagnaedanna. Kabayatan iti panagdaliasatna, dimteng isuna iti balay ni Mica idiay katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim.
9 He was asked by him whence he came. And he answered: I am a Levite of Bethlehem Juda, and I am going to dwell where I can, and where I shall find a place to my advantage.
Kinuna ni Mica kenkuana, “Sadino ti nagappuam?” Kinuna ti lalaki kenkuana, “Maysaak a Levita iti Betlehem idiay Juda, ket agdaldaliasatak tapno agsapul iti lugar a mabalin a pagnaedak.”
10 And Michas said: Stay with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee every year ten pieces of silver, and a double suit of apparel, and thy victuals.
Kinuna ni Mica kenkuana, “Makipagnaedka kaniak ket agbalinka a mammagbaga ken padik. Ikkanka iti sangapulo a pidaso ti pirak iti makatawen, kawes, ken taraonmo.” Napan ngarud ti Levita iti balayna.
11 He was content, and abode with the man, and was unto him as one of his sons.
Napnek a nakipagnaed ti Levita iti lalaki, ket nagbalin ti agtutubo a kasla maysa kadagiti putot a lalaki ni Mica.
12 And Michas filled his hand, and had the young man with him, for his priest, saying:
Inlasin ni Mica ti Levita nga agpaay kadagiti nasantoan a pagrebbengan, ket nagbalin a padina ti agtutubo, ket adda isuna iti balay ni Mica.
13 Now I know God will do me good, since I have a priest of the race of the Levites.
Ket kinuna ni Mica, “Ita ammok nga agaramid ni Yahweh iti naimbag kaniak, gapu ta nagbalin a padik daytoy a Levita.”
