Judges 17
1 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, and his name was Michaias.
एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा एक जना मानिस थिए, र तिनको नाउँ मीका थियो ।
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.
तिनले आफ्नी आमालाई भने, “तपाईंबाट लगिएका १,१०० चाँदीका सिक्का, जसको विषयमा तपाईंले सराप दिनुभएको थियो, र जुन मैले सुनेको थिएँ, हेर्नुहोस् । त्यो चाँदी मसँग छन् । त्यो मैले ती चोरें ।” तिनकी आमाले भनिन्, “मेरो छोरा, परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई आशिष् दिऊन्!”
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.
तिनले ती चाँदीका १,१०० सिक्काहरू आफ्नी आमालाई दिए र तिनकी आमाले भनिन्, “खोपिएको र ढलौटे मूर्तिहरू बनाउनलाई मेरो छोराको निम्ति यो चाँदी म परमप्रभुमा अलग गर्छु । यसैले अब यो म तिमीलाई दिन्छु ।”
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.
जब तिनले त्यो पैसा आफ्नी आमालाई दिए, तब तिनकी आमाले चाँदीका दुई सय सिक्का लिईन् र त्यो शिल्पकारलाई दिईन् जसले तीबाट खोपिएको र ढलौटे मूर्तिहरू बनाए, र ती मीकाको घरमा राखियो ।
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.
त्यो मानिस मीकासित मूर्तिहरूको एउटा घर थियो र तिनले एउटा एपोद र घर-देवताहरू बनाए, र तिनले आफ्ना छोरामध्ये एक जनालाई पुजारी हुनको निम्ति नियुक्त गरे ।
6 And in those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
ती दिनहरूमा इस्राएलमा कोही राजा थिएन, र हरेकले आफ्नो दृष्टिमा जे ठिक लाग्थ्यो त्यही गर्थ्यो ।
7 And there was a young man in Bethleem of the tribe of Juda, and he [was] a Levite, and he was sojourning there.
यहूदाको बेथलेहेमका यहूदाका वंशका एक जना जवान मानिस थिए जो एक जना लेवी थिए । आफ्नो जिम्मेवारी पुरा गर्न तिनी त्यहाँ बसे ।
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.
ती मानिसले यहूदाको बेथलेहेमलाई छोडेर गए र बस्ने एउटा ठाउँ खोजे । तिनले यात्रा गर्दै जाँदा, तिनी एफ्राइमको पहाडी देशमा भएको मीकाको घरमा आए ।
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.
मीकाले तिनलाई भने, “तिमी कहाँबाट आएका हौ?” ती मानिसले तिनलाई भने, “म यहूदाको बेथलेहेमको एउटा लेवी हुँ, र बसोबास गर्नको निम्ति ठाउँ खोज्न भनेर म यात्रा गरिरहेको छु ।”
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.
मीकाले तिनलाई भने, “मसँग बस, र मेरो निम्ति बुबा र पुजारी होऊ । म तिमीलाई वर्षको दश सिक्का चाँदी, एक जोर लुगा र तिम्रो खाना दिनेछु ।” यसैले ती लेवी तिनको घरभित्र गए ।
11 And the Levite went and began to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
ती लेवी मीकासँग बस्न सन्तुष्ट भए, र ती जवान मानिस मीकाका छोरामध्ये एक जनाझैं भए ।
12 And Michaias consecrated the Levite, and he became to him a priest, and he was in the house of Michaias.
मीकाले ती लेवीलाई पवित्र जिम्मेवारीका लागि अलग गरे, र ती जवान मानिस तिनको पुजारी भए, र मीकाको घरमा बसे ।
13 And Michaias said, Now I know that the Lord will do me good, because a Levite has become my priest.
तब मीकाले भने, “अब मलाई थाहा छ, कि परमप्रभुले मेरो निम्ति असल गर्नुहुनेछ, किनभने त्यो लेवी मेरो पुजारी बनेको छ ।”
