Judges 17
1 And there is a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his name [is] Micah,
Tam-bohibohi’ i Efraime amy zay t’indaty atao Mikà.
2 and he says to his mother, “The eleven hundred pieces of silver which have been taken of yours, and [of which] you have sworn, and also spoken in my ears; behold, the silver [is] with me, I have taken it”; and his mother says, “Blessed [is] my son of YHWH.”
Le hoe re aman-drene’e, I volafoty arivo-tsi-zato nikamereñe ama’oy, i nititihe’o am-pitsanoñakoy, ingo te amako i volafotiy; izaho ty nandrambe aze. Le hoe ty rene’e, Tahie’ Iehovà irehe anako.
3 And he gives back the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother says, “I had certainly sanctified the silver to YHWH, from my hand, for my son, to make a carved image, and a molten image; and now, I give it back to you.”
Aa ie nahere’e aman-drene’e i volafoty arivo-tsi-zatoy, le hoe ty rene’e: Toe hene navìko am’ Iehovà boak’ an-tañako ho a i ana-dahikoy i volafotiy, hitsenea’e sare pinàtepàtetse naho sare trinanake; aa le habaliko ama’o.
4 And he gives back the money to his mother, and his mother takes two hundred pieces of silver, and gives them to a refiner, and he makes them a carved image, and a molten image, and it is in the house of Micah.
Aa ie nampoly ama’e i volafotiy, le nandrambesan-drene’e ty volafoty roanjato naho natolo’e ami’ty mpanao volafoty le namboare’e sare pinatetse naho sare trinanake, vaho tan-kiboho’ i Mikà ao izay.
5 As for the man Micah, he has a house of gods, and he makes an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrates the hand of one of his sons, and he is for a priest to him;
Ie niañoñ’ay t’i Mikà, le nanan-kivohon-drahare, le nitsene hareañe naho terafime vaho nañory ty ana’e ho mpisoroñe
6 in those days there is no king in Israel, each does that which is right in his own eyes.
Ie henane zay, tsy amam-panjaka t’Israele vaho songa nanao ze tea’e am-pihaino’e ao ondatio.
7 And there is a young man of Beth-Lehem-Judah, of the family of Judah, and he [is] a Levite, and he [is] a sojourner there.
Nisy ajalahy nte-Betlekheme e Iehoda, fifokoa’ Iehoda, nte-Levý, nañialo ao.
8 And the man goes out of the city, out of Beth-Lehem-Judah, to sojourn where he finds, and comes to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, to work his way.
Niakatse an-drova Betlekheme e Iehoda re, hañialo amy ze toetse ho zoe’e; vaho ie amy lia’ey nivotrake Efraime an-kiboho’ i Mikà.
9 And Micah says to him, “Where do you come from?” And he says to him, “I [am] a Levite of Beth-Lehem-Judah, and I am going to sojourn where I find.”
Le hoe t’i Mikà ama’e: Boak’ aia v’iheo? vaho hoe re ama’e: nte Levý iraho boake Betlekheme e Iehoda ao, mitaveañe mb’ amy ze mete hañialoako.
10 And Micah says to him, “Dwell with me, and be for a father and for a priest to me, and I give ten pieces of silver to you for the days, and a suit of garments, and your sustenance”; and the Levite goes [in].
Le hoe t’i Mikà ama’e: Mimoneña amako atoa, soa t’ie ho rae naho mpisoroñe amako, le ho tolorako volafoty folo boa-taoñe naho fisikiñe vaho ty mahakama’o. Aa le nimoak’ ao i nte-Leviy.
11 And the Levite is willing to dwell with the man, and the young man is to him as one of his sons.
Ninò’ i nte-Leviy ty himoneñe amy ‘ndatiy; vaho ni-hoe anak’ama’e i ajalahiy.
12 And Micah consecrates the hand of the Levite, and the young man is for a priest to him, and he is in the house of Micah,
Aa le noriza’ i Mikà i nte-Leviy vaho nanoeñe mpisoroñe i ajalahiy an-kiboho’ i Mikà ao.
13 and Micah says, “Now I have known that YHWH does good to me, for the Levite has been for a priest to me.”
Le hoe t’i Mikà: Fantako te hañasoa ahiko t’Iehovà kanao aman-te-Levý ho mpisoroñe.
