< Judges 17 >

1 Now there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
Alò, te gen yon nonm nan peyi ti kolin Ephraïm yo ki te rele Mica.
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.'
Li te di a manman l: “Onz-mil pyès ajan ke yo te retire nan men ou yo, sou sila yo ou te bay madichon ke mwen te tande a, veye byen, ajan an avè m; se mwen ki te pran l.” Epi manman l te di: “Beni ou ye, fis mwen, pa SENYÈ a.”
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.'
Konsa, li te retounen onz-san pyès ajan an bay manman l, e manman l te di: “Mwen dedye ajan an soti nan men mwen nèt bay SENYÈ a, pou fis mwen an, pou fè yon imaj taye ak yon imaj ki fonn; alò, pou sa, mwen va retounen yo ba ou.”
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.
Konsa, lè li te fin retounen ajan an bay manman l, manman l te pran de-san pyès ajan an, li te bay yo a yon bòs fonn ajan, ki te fè avèk yo, yon imaj taye. Yo te rete lakay Mica.
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.
Epi nonm nan, Mica, te gen yon lye sakre, li te fè yon efòd avèk zidòl lakay yo, e li te konsakre youn nan fis li yo pou ta kapab sèvi kòm prèt li.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Nan jou sa yo, pa t gen wa an Israël. Chak moun te fè sa ki te bon nan pwòp zye pa l.
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.
Alò, te gen yon jennonm ki te soti Bethléhem nan Juda, nan fanmi Juda a, ki te yon Levit. Li te rete la.
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.
Konsa, nonm sa a te pati nan vil la, soti nan Bethléhem nan Juda pou ale rete nenpòt kote ke li ta kab twouve. Epi pandan li t ap fè vwayaj la, li te rive nan peyi ti kolin Ephraïm yo, vè lakay Mica.
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.'
Mica te mande li: “Se kibò ou sòti?” Li te reponn li: “Mwen se yon Levit ki soti Bethléhem nan Juda, epi mwen pral rete nenpòt kote ke m twouve.”
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.
Alò, Mica te di li: “Vin rete avè m pou vin yon papa ak yon prèt anvè mwen. Mwen va ba ou dis mòso ajan pa ane, yon vètman ak pran swen ou.” Konsa, Levit la te antre.
11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
Levit la te vin antann avèk nonm nan e jennonm nan te vin pou li tankou youn nan fis li yo.
12 And Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
Alò, Mica te konsakre Levit la; jennonm nan de vin prèt li e li te rete lakay Mica.
13 Then said Micah: 'Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite as my priest.'
Konsa, Mica te di: “Koulye a, mwen konnen ke SENYÈ a va fè m reyisi; paske mwen gen yon Levit kòm prèt.”
