Judges 17
1 There was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Michah,
Sie pacl ah oasr sie mwet pangpang Micah su muta fineol uh in acn Ephraim.
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.
El fahk nu sin nina kial, “Ke mwet se pisrala sie tausin siofok ipin silver yurum ac, nga sifacna lohng ke kom tuh fahk kas in selnga lain mwet sac. Liye, pa inge mani sac. Nga pa srukak.” Na nina kial ah fahk, “Wen nutik, LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye kom.”
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.
Na ke Micah el akola in folokunla mani sac nu sin nina kial ah, na nina sac fahk, “Inge nga sifacna kisakin silver inge nu sin LEUM GOD, tuh kas in selnga nga tuh fahk ah in tia putati nu fin wen nutik. Silver inge fah nokomla sie ma sruloala orek ke sak.”
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.
Na wen sac el folokonang ipin silver inge nu sin nina kial ah, ac nina sac eisla luofoko ipin silver ac sang nu sin sie mwet etu orekma ke silver, su taflela sie ma sruloala ke sie sak, ac sang silver in nokomla nufon, na utukla ma se inge nu in lohm sel Micah.
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.
Oasr nien alu se lal Micah sifacna. El tuh orala kutu ma sruloala, oayapa sie nuknuk lun mwet tol pangpang ephod, na el sulela sie sin mukul natul ah in mwet tol lal.
6 In those dayes there was no King in Israel, but euery man did that which was good in his owne eyes.
In pacl se inge wangin tokosra lun mwet Israel. Kais sie mwet sifacna oru ma el nunku mu suwohs ye mutal sifacna.
7 There was also a yong man out of Bethlehem Iudah, of the familie of Iudah: who was a Leuite, and soiourned there.
In pacl sac pacna oasr sie mwet fusr ke sruf lal Levi su muta Bethlehem in acn Judah.
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
El som liki acn Bethlehem in suk sie pac acn elan muta we, na el tuku ac sun lohm sel Micah su oan infulan eol uh in acn Ephraim.
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.
Micah el siyuk sel, “Kom tuku ya me?” Na el topuk ac fahk, “Nga sie mwet Levi ac nga tuku liki Bethlehem in acn Judah. Nga suk sie acn tuh ngan muta we.”
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.
Na Micah el fahk nu sel, “Fahsru muta yuruk. Nga lungse kom in oana sie papa nu sik ac mwet tol luk, ac nga fah moli nu sum ke ipin silver singoul ke yac se, oayapa sot nuknuk lom ac kite kom.”
11 And the Leuite was content to dwel with the man, and the yong man was vnto him as one of his owne sonnes.
Mwet fusr Levi sac el insese in muta yorol, ac Micah el oral oana in ma natul.
12 And Michah consecrated the Leuite, and the yong man was his Priest, and was in the house of Michah.
Micah el sang tuh elan orekma in mwet tol nu sel, ac el muta in lohm sel Micah.
13 Then said Michah, Nowe I know that the Lord will be good vnto me, seeing I haue a Leuite to my Priest.
Ac Micah el fahk, “Inge nga etu lah LEUM GOD El ac akinsewowoyeyu mweyen mwet Levi se pa mwet tol luk uh.”
