Judges 17
1 There was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Michah,
ここにエフライムの山の人にて名をミカとよべるものありしが
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.
その母に言けるは汝かつてその千百枚の銀を取れしことを吾が聞ところにて詛ひて語りしが視よその銀はわが手に在り我之を取るなりと母すなはちわが子よねがはくはヱホバ汝に祝福をたまへと言り
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.
彼千百枚の銀をその母にかへせしかば母いひけらくわれわが子のためにひとつの像を雕みひとつの像を鑄んためにその銀をわが手よりヱホバに納む然ばわれ今之を汝にかへすべしと
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.
ミカその銀を母にかへせしかば母その銀二百枚をとりて之を鑄物師にあたへてひとつの像をきざませひとつの像を鑄させたり其像はミカの家に在り
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.
このミカといふ人神の殿をもちをりエポデおよびテラピムを造りひとりの子を立ておのが祭司となせり
6 In those dayes there was no King in Israel, but euery man did that which was good in his owne eyes.
此ときにはイスラエルに王なかりければ人々おのれの目に是とみゆることをおこなへり
7 There was also a yong man out of Bethlehem Iudah, of the familie of Iudah: who was a Leuite, and soiourned there.
ここにひとりの少者ありてベテレヘムユダに於てユダの族の中にをる彼はレビ人にしてかしこに寓居るなり
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
この人居べきところをたづねてその邑ベテレヘムユダを去しが遂に旅してエフライムの山にゆきてミカの家にいたりしに
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.
ミカ之にいひけるは汝いづこよ來れるやと彼之にいふ我はベテレヘムユダのレビ人なるが居べきところをたづねに往くものなり
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.
ミカ之に言けるは汝われと偕に居りわがために父とも祭司ともなれよ然ばわれ年に銀十枚および衣服食物を汝にあたへんとレビ人すなはち入しが
11 And the Leuite was content to dwel with the man, and the yong man was vnto him as one of his owne sonnes.
レビ人つひにその人と偕に居んことを肯ふ是においてその少者はかれの子の一人のごとくなりぬ
12 And Michah consecrated the Leuite, and the yong man was his Priest, and was in the house of Michah.
ミカ、レビ人なるこの少者をたてて祭司となしたればすなはちミカの家に居る
13 Then said Michah, Nowe I know that the Lord will be good vnto me, seeing I haue a Leuite to my Priest.
ミカここにおいて言ふ今われ知るヱホバわれに恩惠をたまはんそはこのレビ人われの祭司となればなり
