Judges 17
1 Now there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
| وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ ٱسْمُهُ مِيخَا. | ١ |
2 And he said unto his mother: 'The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou didst utter a curse, and didst also speak it in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it.' And his mother said: 'Blessed be my son of the LORD.'
| فَقَالَ لِأُمِّهِ: «إِنَّ ٱلْأَلْفَ وَٱلْمِئَةَ شَاقِلِ ٱلْفِضَّةِ ٱلَّتِي أُخِذَتْ مِنْكِ، وَأَنْتِ لَعَنْتِ وَقُلْتِ أَيْضًا فِي أُذُنَيَّ. هُوَذَا ٱلْفِضَّةُ مَعِي. أَنَا أَخَذْتُهَا». فَقَالَتْ أُمُّهُ: «مُبَارَكٌ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَا ٱبْنِي». | ٢ |
3 And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother said: 'I verily dedicate the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image; now therefore I will restore it unto thee.'
| فَرَدَّ ٱلْأَلْفَ وَٱلْمِئَةَ شَاقِلِ ٱلْفِضَّةِ لِأُمِّهِ. فَقَالَتْ أُمُّهُ: «تَقْدِيسًا قَدَّسْتُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ يَدِي لِٱبْنِي لِعَمَلِ تِمْثَالٍ مَنْحُوتٍ وَتِمْثَالٍ مَسْبُوكٍ. فَٱلْآنَ أَرُدُّهَا لَكَ». | ٣ |
4 And when he restored the money unto his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image; and it was in the house of Micah.
| فَرَدَّ ٱلْفِضَّةَ لِأُمِّهِ، فَأَخَذَتْ أُمُّهُ مِئَتَيْ شَاقِلِ فِضَّةٍ وَأَعْطَتْهَا لِلصَّائِغِ فَعَمِلَهَا تِمْثَالًا مَنْحُوتًا وَتِمْثَالًا مَسْبُوكًا. وَكَانَا فِي بَيْتِ مِيخَا. | ٤ |
5 And the man Micah had a house of God, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
| وَكَانَ لِلرَّجُلِ مِيخَا بَيْتٌ لِلْآلِهَةِ، فَعَمِلَ أَفُودًا وَتَرَافِيمَ وَمَلَأَ يَدَ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ بَنِيهِ فَصَارَ لَهُ كَاهِنًا. | ٥ |
6 In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
| وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَلِكٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. كَانَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَعْمَلُ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ. | ٦ |
7 And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem in Judah — in the family of Judah — who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
| وَكَانَ غُلَامٌ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ يَهُوذَا، وَهُوَ لَاوِيٌّ مُتَغَرِّبٌ هُنَاكَ. | ٧ |
8 And the man departed out of the city, out of Beth-lehem in Judah, to sojourn where he could find a place; and he came to the hill-country of Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
| فَذَهَبَ ٱلرَّجُلُ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا لِكَيْ يَتَغَرَّبَ حَيْثُمَا ٱتَّفَقَ. فَأَتَى إِلَى جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ إِلَى بَيْتِ مِيخَا وَهُوَ آخِذٌ فِي طَرِيقِهِ. | ٨ |
9 And Micah said unto him: 'Whence comest thou?' And he said unto him: 'I am a Levite of Beth-lehem in Judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.'
| فَقَالَ لَهُ مِيخَا: «مِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَيْتَ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا لَاوِيٌّ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا، وَأَنَا ذَاهِبٌ لِكَيْ أَتَغَرَّبَ حَيْثُمَا ٱتَّفَقَ». | ٩ |
10 And Micah said unto him: 'Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten pieces of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals.' So the Levite went in.
| فَقَالَ لَهُ مِيخَا: «أَقِمْ عِنْدِي وَكُنْ لِي أَبًا وَكَاهِنًا، وَأَنَا أُعْطِيكَ عَشَرَةَ شَوَاقِلِ فِضَّةٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ، وَحُلَّةَ ثِيَابٍ، وَقُوتَكَ». فَذَهَبَ مَعَهُ ٱللَّاوِيُّ. | ١٠ |
11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
| فَرَضِيَ ٱللَّاوِيُّ بِٱلْإِقَامَةِ مَعَ ٱلرَّجُلِ، وَكَانَ ٱلْغُلَامُ لَهُ كَأَحَدِ بَنِيهِ. | ١١ |
12 And Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
| فَمَلَأَ مِيخَا يَدَ ٱللَّاوِيِّ، وَكَانَ ٱلْغُلَامُ لَهُ كَاهِنًا، وَكَانَ فِي بَيْتِ مِيخَا. | ١٢ |
13 Then said Micah: 'Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite as my priest.'
| فَقَالَ مِيخَا: «ٱلْآنَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُحْسِنُ إِلَيَّ، لِأَنَّهُ صَارَ لِيَ ٱللَّاوِيُّ كَاهِنًا». | ١٣ |
