< Judges 17 >
1 There was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
Phat khatnin Micah kiti pasal khat ana ummin amachu Ephraim thinglhang gamsunga chenga ahi.
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 YHWH."
Nikhat hi aman anu kommah hitin anaseije, “Mikhat nin nasum dangka sankhat le jakhat anaguh jeh'in nangin nana samsetai ti kanajan ahi. Ven nasum gu’achu keima kahi chuleh tun kakomma aumme” ati. Anun adonbutnin, “Nangle nang nakiphon ahin Pathenin phatthei naboh hen” ati.
3 And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother; and his mother said, "I most certainly dedicate the silver to YHWH from my hand for my son, to make an engraved image and a molten image."
Aman sumchu anu komma apelutnin ahileh anun hitin aseije “Tun keiman hiche sapsetna chu kachapa chunga achuhlouna dingin keimatah in hiche sumchu Pakai kommah kakatdoh tai. Hichehi kilhajolla milim doikhat semna kimang ding ahi” ati.
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.
Hitia chu aman sumchu anu khutna apehlut chun amanun dangka jani chu alan dangka khengpa kommah apelut tan ahileh aman milim doikhat asemdoh tan ahi. Chuleh hichechu Micah insungah akikoitan ahi.
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.
Micah hin hiche doi koina dinga hin doiphung khat atung doh in chuleh hiche doihou nading ompho jong asem’in insunga ding phabepjong asemdoh in ahi. Hiche jouchun achate lah a khat chu amachanga din thempun apansah in ahi.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Hichelai phatsung chun Israelten leng ananei pouvin mipiho chun amaho deidan dannin ana kimang chaovin ahi.
7 There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there.
Nikhat chun Judah gam Bethlehem ching golhang khat ahung vahlutnin ahi.
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.
Aman Bethlehem chu ahindalhah a chenna ding holla ahung valele leh Ephraim thinglhang gamma hi hung vahlut khat ahi. Hitiahi ahung vale le nalam mahin Micah in na hin ahung vahlut khan ahi.
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."
Micah in hoiya konna hung nahim tin anadongin ahi. Aman adonbutnin, “Keihi Levi mi Judah gam Bethlehema kona hung kahin keimahi chenna ding mun holla hung kahi” ati.
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.
Micah in, “Keikomma hin umtan chutileh nang keima dinga mipa leh thempu nahi ding ahi” ati.
11 The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
Levi mipachu ananom in, hitichun hiche golhangpa chu Micah chate khat tobang'in aumtan ahi.
12 Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
Hitichun Micah in hiche Levi pachu ama thempu in anapansah in, amajong Micah in'ah anacheng tan ahi.
13 Then Micah said, "Now I know that YHWH will do good to me, seeing I have a Levite as my priest."
Micah in tunvang Pakaiyin phatthei eiboh ding ahitai, ajeh chu keiman Levi khat thempu a eipan pehding kaneitai ati.
