Judges 17
1 There was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Michah,
Te gen yon nonm yo te rele Mika ki te rete nan mòn peyi Efrayim yo.
2 And he saide vnto his mother, The eleuen hundreth shekels of siluer that were taken from thee, for the which thou cursedst, and spakedst it, euen in mine hearing, beholde, the siluer is with me, I tooke it. Then his mother saide, Blessed be my sonne of the Lord.
Li di manman l' konsa: -Lè yo te vòlò milsan (1.100) pyès lajan ou yo, ou te bay vòlò a madichon. Nou te tande ou ak pwòp zòrèy nou. Gade, men lajan an nan men m'. Se mwen menm ki te pran yo. Manman an di l': -Se pou Seyè a beni ou, pitit mwen, pou sa!
3 And when he had restored the eleuen hundreth shekels of siluer to his mother, his mother sayd, I had dedicate the siluer to the Lord of mine hand for my sonne, to make a grauen and molten image. Now therfore I will giue it thee again.
Mika renmèt milsan pyès lajan yo bay manman l'. Manman an di l' konsa: -Mwen te mete lajan an apa pou Seyè a pou anyen pa rive ou, pitit gason mwen. W'a sèvi avè l' pou fè yon zidòl, yon estati fonn nan moul. Se poutèt sa m'ap renmèt ou lajan an ankò.
4 And when he had restored the money vnto his mother, his mother tooke two hundreth shekels of siluer, and gaue them to the founder, which made thereof a grauen and molten image, and it was in the house of Michah.
Men, pitit la renmèt lajan an bay manman l'. Madanm lan pran desan (200) pyès an ajan, li bay yon bòs ki fè yon zidòl an bwa epi li kouvri li nèt ak ajan. Li mete li lakay Mika.
5 And this man Michah had an house of gods, and made an Ephod, and Teraphim, and cosecrated one of his sonnes, who was his Priest.
Nonm Mika a te mete yon kote apa pou li menm l' al fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Li fè yon estati ansanm ak lòt ti zidòl wogatwa epi li chwazi yonn nan pitit gason li yo, li ba l' pouvwa pou l' sèvi l' prèt.
6 In those dayes there was no King in Israel, but euery man did that which was good in his owne eyes.
Nan tan sa a, pa t' gen wa nan peyi Izrayèl la. Chak moun t'ap fè sa yo pito.
7 There was also a yong man out of Bethlehem Iudah, of the familie of Iudah: who was a Leuite, and soiourned there.
Te gen yon jenn gason ki te rete lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jida. Se te yon moun nan fanmi Levi yo.
8 And the man departed out of the citie, euen out of Beth-lehem Iudah, to dwell where he coulde finde a place: and as he iourneyed, he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Michah
Li kite lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jida a, li pati, l' al chache yon lòt kote pou l' fè ladesant. Antan l'ap vwayaje konsa, li rive lakay Mika, nan mòn peyi Efrayim yo.
9 And Michah saide vnto him, Whence comest thou? And the Leuite answered him, I come from Beth-lehem Iudah, and goe to dwell where I may finde a place.
Mika mande l': -Kote ou soti? Nèg la reponn: -Mwen se moun fanmi Levi, m' soti lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jida. M'ap chache yon lòt kote pou m' fè ladesant.
10 Then Michah said vnto him, Dwell with me, and be vnto me a father and a Priest, and I will giue thee ten shekels of siluer by yeere, and a sute of apparell, and thy meate and drinke. So the Leuite went in.
Mika di l' konsa: -Vin rete lakay mwen non. W'a tou sèvi m' konseye ak prèt. M'a ba ou dis pyès lò chak lanne, san konte rad ak manje.
11 And the Leuite was content to dwel with the man, and the yong man was vnto him as one of his owne sonnes.
Moun Levi a te dakò pou l' rete lakay Mika ki te sèvi avè l' tankou pwòp pitit gason l'.
12 And Michah consecrated the Leuite, and the yong man was his Priest, and was in the house of Michah.
Mika menm bay moun Levi a pouvwa pou l' sèvi l' prèt. Se konsa, li rete nèt lakay Mika.
13 Then said Michah, Nowe I know that the Lord will be good vnto me, seeing I haue a Leuite to my Priest.
Lè sa a, Mika di konsa: -Koulye a, mwen konnen Seyè a pral fè tout zafè m' mache byen paske mwen gen yon moun Levi k'ap sèvi m' prèt.
