Judges 17
1 Now there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
Eso afaega Ifala: ime agolo soge ganodini, dunu afae ea dio amo Maiga esalu.
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.'
Maiga da ea amema amane sia: i, “Musa: dunu afae da dima silifa fage 1,100 wamolaloba, di da amo dunuma gagabusu aligima: ne ilegei. Amo na da nabi. Be wali, di ba: ma. Na da amo muni gagusa. Amo wamolasu dunu da na.” Ea ame da amane sia: i, “Nagofe! Hina Gode da dima hahawane dogolegele hamomu da defea.”
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.'
E da amo muni ea amema bu i. Ea ame da amane sia: i, “Amo gagabusu aligima: ne da na mano ema doaga: sa: besa: le, na da amo silifa Hina Godema imunu. Amoga ninia da ifa ‘gode’ hamone, silifa amoga dedebomu. Na da amo silifa dima bu iaha.”
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.
Amalalu, e da ea amema bu i. Ea ame da silifa fage 200 amo lale, gula hahamosu dunuma i. E da ifa amo osole dedene, ogogosu loboga hamoi ‘gode’ hamone, silifa amoga dedeboi. Ilia da amo loboga hamoi liligi Maiga ea diasu ganodini ligisi.
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.
Amo dunu Maiga da hi sia: ne gadosu diasu gagui galu. E da loboga hamoi ‘gode’ eno amola “ifode” (gobele salasu dunu ea da: i salasu) hamone, ea dunu mano afae amo gobele salasu hawa: hamoma: ne ilegei.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Amo esoga, hina bagade dunu da Isala: ili soge ganodini hame esalu. Dunu huluane da afae afae hi hanaiga fawane hamosu.
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.
Amo esoha, Lifai fi ayeligi afae da Bedeleheme moilai Yuda soge ganodini esalu.
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.
E da Bedeleheme fisili, fimu soge hogomusa: asi. E da ahoanoba, Maiga ea diasu Ifala: ime agolo soge ganodini galu, amoga doaga: i.
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.'
Maiga da ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da habidili misibala: ?” E bu adole i, “Na da Lifai fi dunu. Na da Bedeleheme moilai Yuda soge ganodini amoga esalu. Na da fimu sogebi hogosa.”
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.
Maiga da ema amane sia: i, “Na sigi esaloma! Di da na fidisu dunu amola gobele salasu dunu esalumu da defea. Na da dima silifa fage nabuane gala amola dia abula amola ha: i manu imunu.”
11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
Lifai ayeligi da Maigama esaloma: ne sia: i. E da egefe agoane hamosu.
12 And Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
Maiga da ema gobele salasu hawa: hamosu ilegei amola e da Maiga ea diasu ganodini esalu.
13 Then said Micah: 'Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite as my priest.'
Maiga da amane sia: i, “Defea! Wali Lifai dunu da na gobele salasu dunu esala. Amaiba: le, na dawa: ! Hina Gode da na hou amola na liligi huluane hahawane dogolegele hahamomu.”
