Judges 17
1 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, and his name was Michaias.
以法莲山地有一个人名叫米迦。
2 And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred pieces of silver which you took of yourself, and [about which] you cursed me, and spoke in my ears, behold, the silver [is] with me; I took it: and his mother said, Blessed [be] my son of the Lord.
他对母亲说：“你那一千一百舍客勒银子被人拿去，你因此咒诅，并且告诉了我。看哪，这银子在我这里，是我拿去了。”他母亲说：“我儿啊，愿耶和华赐福与你！”
3 And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, I had wholly consecrated the money to the Lord out of my hand for my son, to make a graven and a molten [image], and now I will restore it to you.
米迦就把这一千一百舍客勒银子还他母亲。他母亲说：“我分出这银子来为你献给耶和华，好雕刻一个像，铸成一个像。现在我还是交给你。”
4 But he returned the silver to his mother, and his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to a silversmith, and he made it a graven and a molten image; and it was in the house of Michaias.
米迦将银子还他母亲，他母亲将二百舍客勒银子交给银匠，雕刻一个像，铸成一个像，安置在米迦的屋内。
5 And the house of Michaias [was] to him the house of God, and he made an ephod and theraphin, and he consecrated one of his sons, and he became to him a priest.
这米迦有了神堂，又制造以弗得和家中的神像，分派他一个儿子作祭司。
6 And in those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
那时以色列中没有王，各人任意而行。
7 And there was a young man in Bethleem of the tribe of Juda, and he [was] a Levite, and he was sojourning there.
犹大的伯利恒有一个少年人，是犹大族的利未人，他在那里寄居。
8 And the man departed from Bethleem the city of Juda to sojourn in whatever place he might find; and he came as far as mount Ephraim, and to the house of Michaias to accomplish his journey.
这人离开犹大的伯利恒城，要找一个可住的地方。行路的时候，到了以法莲山地，走到米迦的家。
9 And Michaias said to him, Whence come you? and he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethleem Juda, and I go to sojourn in any place I may find.
米迦问他说：“你从哪里来？”他回答说：“从犹大的伯利恒来。我是利未人，要找一个可住的地方。”
10 And Michaias said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest; and I will give you ten pieces of silver by the year, and a change of raiment, and your living.
米迦说：“你可以住在我这里，我以你为父、为祭司。我每年给你十舍客勒银子，一套衣服和度日的食物。”利未人就进了他的家。
11 And the Levite went and began to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
利未人情愿与那人同住；那人看这少年人如自己的儿子一样。
12 And Michaias consecrated the Levite, and he became to him a priest, and he was in the house of Michaias.
米迦分派这少年的利未人作祭司，他就住在米迦的家里。
13 And Michaias said, Now I know that the Lord will do me good, because a Levite has become my priest.
米迦说：“现在我知道耶和华必赐福与我，因我有一个利未人作祭司。”
