Judges 17
1 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
Adunay usa ka tawo nga anaa sa kabungtoran nga bahin sa Efraim, ug ang iyang ngalan mao si Micah.
2 And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of Yhwh, my son.
Miingon siya sa iyang inahan, “Ang 1, 100 ka buok plata nga gikuha gikan kanimo, hinungdan sa imong gisulti nga tunglo, nga diin akong nadungog—tan-awa dinhi! Ang plata uban kanako, gikawat ko kini.” Miingon ang iyang inahan, “Hinaot nga panalanginan ka ni Yahweh, akong anak!”
3 And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto Yhwh from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee.
Giuli niya sa iyang inahan ang 1, 100 ka plata ug ang iyang inahan miingon, “Gilain ko kini nga plata ngadto kang Yahweh, aron himoong kinulit ug hinulmang puthaw nga larawan alang sa akong anak. Busa karon, ibalik ko kini kanimo.”
4 Yet he restored the money unto 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.
Sa dihang giuli na niya ang kwarta ngadto sa iyang inahan, ang iyang inahan mikuha ug 200 ka buok plata ug gihatag kini ngadto sa magbubuhat ug puthaw aron nga himoong kinulit nga larawan, ug gibutang sila sa balay ni Micah.
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.
Ang tawo nga si Micah adunay balay alang sa mga ribulto ug naghimo siyag ephod ug mga diosdios sa panimalay, ug gikuha niya ang usa sa iyang anak aron mahimong iyang pari.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Niadtong adlawa walay hari sa Israel, ug ang tanan nagbuhat sumala sa kung unsay tama sa ilang mga mata.
7 And there was a young man out of Beth–lehem–judah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
Karon adunay batan-ong lalaki sa Bethlehem diha sa Judah, sakop sa pamilya ni Judah, nga usa ka Levita. Nagpuyo siya didto aron himoon ang iyang mga buluhaton.
8 And the man departed out of the city from Beth–lehem–judah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
Ang lalaki mihawa sa Bethlehem sa Judah aron molakaw sa pagpangitag dapit aron kapuy-an. Sa iyang panaw, miabot siya sa balay ni Micah sa kabungtorang lungsod sa Efraim.
9 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Beth–lehem–judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
Miingon si Micah kaniya, “Asa ka man gikan?” Ang lalaki mitubag kaniya, “Usa ako ka Levita nga gikan sa Bethlehem sa Judah, ug nagpanaw ako aron mangitag dapit diin ako makapuyo.”
10 And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in.
Miingon si Micah kaniya, “Puyo uban kanako, ug mahimo ka nga akong amahan ug pari. Hatagan ko ikaw ug napulo ka plata matag tuig, mga kupo sa bisti, ug imong pagkaon.”
11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
Busa ang Levita miadto sa iyang balay. Kuntento siya nga magpuyo uban kang Micah, ug ang batan-ong lalaki alang kang Micah nahimong sama sa usa sa mga anak.
12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
Gigahin ni Micah ang Levita alang sa balaanong mga buluhaton, ug ang batan-ong lalaki nahimong iyang pari, nga nagpuyo sa iyang balay.
13 Then said Micah, Now know I that Yhwh will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.
Unya miingon si Micah, “Karon nasayod ako nga si Yahweh magbuhat ug maayo alang kanako, tungod kay kining Levita nahimong akong pari.”
