Judges 17
1 And there was a man of mount 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 [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 the LORD, my son.
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 when he had restored the eleven hundred [shekels] of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated 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 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.
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 an house of gods, and 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, [but] 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-judah of 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 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.
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-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 [shekels] 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 to [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.”
