Judges 17
1 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
А беше један човек из горе Јефремове по имену Миха.
2 And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from you, about which you cursed, and spoke of also in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be you of the LORD, my son.
Он рече матери својој: Хиљаду и сто сребрника, што су ти украдени, за које си клела и говорила преда мном, ево, то је сребро у мене, ја сам га узео. А мати му рече: Господ да те благослови, сине!
3 And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it to you.
А кад врати хиљаду и сто сребрника матери својој, рече мати његова: То сам сребро посветила Господу из своје руке за тебе, сине мој, да се начини од њега лик резан и ливен; зато ти га сада дајем натраг.
4 Yet he restored the money to his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
Али он опет даде сребро матери својој, а мати узе двеста сребрника и даде златару, а он начини од њега лик резан и ливен, те беше у кући Мишиној.
5 And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
И тај Миха имаше кућу за богове, и начини, оплећак и ликове, и посвети једног између синова својих да му буде свештеник.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
У то време не беше цара у Израиљу: сваки чињаше шта му драго.
7 And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
А беше један младић из Витлејема Јудиног, од породице Јудине, који беше Левит и онде борављаше.
8 And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
Он отиде из тог града, Витлејема Јудиног, да се настани где може; и идући својим путем дође у гору Јефремову до куће Мишине.
9 And Micah said to him, From where come you? And he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
А Миха му рече: Откуда идеш? Одговори му Левит: Из Витлејема Јудиног, идем да се настаним где могу.
10 And Micah said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and your victuals. So the Levite went in.
А Миха му рече: Остани код мене, и буди ми отац и свештеник, а ја ћу ти дати десет сребрника на годину и двоје хаљине и храну. И отиде Левит к њему.
11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
И Левиту би по вољи да остане код њега, и би му тај младић као да му је син.
12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
И Миха посвети Левита да му је свештеник тај младић, и оста у кући Мишиној.
13 Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.
Тада рече Миха: Сада знам да ће ми Господ учинити добро зато што имам Левита свештеника.
