Judges 17
1 There was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
А беше један човек из горе Јефремове по имену Миха.
2 And he said to his mother, "The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse, and also spoke it in my ears, look, the silver is with me; I took it, but now I will restore it to you." And his mother said, "Blessed be my son by the LORD."
Он рече матери својој: Хиљаду и сто сребрника, што су ти украдени, за које си клела и говорила преда мном, ево, то је сребро у мене, ја сам га узео. А мати му рече: Господ да те благослови, сине!
3 And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, "I most certainly dedicate the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make an engraved image and a molten image."
А кад врати хиљаду и сто сребрника матери својој, рече мати његова: То сам сребро посветила Господу из своје руке за тебе, сине мој, да се начини од њега лик резан и ливен; зато ти га сада дајем натраг.
4 When he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made of it an engraved image and a molten image: and it was in the house of Micah.
Али он опет даде сребро матери својој, а мати узе двеста сребрника и даде златару, а он начини од њега лик резан и ливен, те беше у кући Мишиној.
5 The man Micah had a house of God, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
И тај Миха имаше кућу за богове, и начини, оплећак и ликове, и посвети једног између синова својих да му буде свештеник.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
У то време не беше цара у Израиљу: сваки чињаше шта му драго.
7 There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there.
А беше један младић из Витлејема Јудиног, од породице Јудине, који беше Левит и онде борављаше.
8 The man departed out of the city, out of Bethlehem Judah, to live where he could find a place, and he came to the hill country of Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he traveled.
Он отиде из тог града, Витлејема Јудиног, да се настани где може; и идући својим путем дође у гору Јефремову до куће Мишине.
9 Micah said to him, "Where did you come from?" He said to him, "I am a Levite of Bethlehem Judah, and I am going to settle wherever I may find a place."
А Миха му рече: Откуда идеш? Одговори му Левит: Из Витлејема Јудиног, идем да се настаним где могу.
10 Micah 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 suit of clothing, and your food." So the Levite went in.
А Миха му рече: Остани код мене, и буди ми отац и свештеник, а ја ћу ти дати десет сребрника на годину и двоје хаљине и храну. И отиде Левит к њему.
11 The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
И Левиту би по вољи да остане код њега, и би му тај младић као да му је син.
12 Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
И Миха посвети Левита да му је свештеник тај младић, и оста у кући Мишиној.
13 Then Micah said, "Now I know that the LORD will do good to me, seeing I have a Levite as my priest."
Тада рече Миха: Сада знам да ће ми Господ учинити добро зато што имам Левита свештеника.
