Judges 17
1 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name [was] Micah.
Te gen yon nonm yo te rele Mika ki te rete nan mòn peyi Efrayim yo.
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.
Li di manman l' konsa: -Lè yo te vòlò milsan (1.100) pyès lajan ou yo, ou te bay vòlò a madichon. Nou te tande ou ak pwòp zòrèy nou. Gade, men lajan an nan men m'. Se mwen menm ki te pran yo. Manman an di l': -Se pou Seyè a beni ou, pitit mwen, pou sa!
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.
Mika renmèt milsan pyès lajan yo bay manman l'. Manman an di l' konsa: -Mwen te mete lajan an apa pou Seyè a pou anyen pa rive ou, pitit gason mwen. W'a sèvi avè l' pou fè yon zidòl, yon estati fonn nan moul. Se poutèt sa m'ap renmèt ou lajan an ankò.
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.
Men, pitit la renmèt lajan an bay manman l'. Madanm lan pran desan (200) pyès an ajan, li bay yon bòs ki fè yon zidòl an bwa epi li kouvri li nèt ak ajan. Li mete li lakay Mika.
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.
Nonm Mika a te mete yon kote apa pou li menm l' al fè sèvis pou Seyè a. Li fè yon estati ansanm ak lòt ti zidòl wogatwa epi li chwazi yonn nan pitit gason li yo, li ba l' pouvwa pou l' sèvi l' prèt.
6 In those days [there was] no king in Israel, [but] every man did [that which was] right in his own eyes.
Nan tan sa a, pa t' gen wa nan peyi Izrayèl la. Chak moun t'ap fè sa yo pito.
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.
Te gen yon jenn gason ki te rete lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jida. Se te yon moun nan fanmi Levi yo.
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.
Li kite lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jida a, li pati, l' al chache yon lòt kote pou l' fè ladesant. Antan l'ap vwayaje konsa, li rive lakay Mika, nan mòn peyi Efrayim yo.
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].
Mika mande l': -Kote ou soti? Nèg la reponn: -Mwen se moun fanmi Levi, m' soti lavil Betleyèm nan peyi Jida. M'ap chache yon lòt kote pou m' fè ladesant.
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.
Mika di l' konsa: -Vin rete lakay mwen non. W'a tou sèvi m' konseye ak prèt. M'a ba ou dis pyès lò chak lanne, san konte rad ak manje.
11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
Moun Levi a te dakò pou l' rete lakay Mika ki te sèvi avè l' tankou pwòp pitit gason l'.
12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
Mika menm bay moun Levi a pouvwa pou l' sèvi l' prèt. Se konsa, li rete nèt lakay Mika.
13 Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to [my] priest.
Lè sa a, Mika di konsa: -Koulye a, mwen konnen Seyè a pral fè tout zafè m' mache byen paske mwen gen yon moun Levi k'ap sèvi m' prèt.
