Judges 17
1 There was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
Tam-bohibohi’ i Efraime amy zay t’indaty atao Mikà.
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."
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 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."
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 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.
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 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.
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 was no king in Israel: every man did that which was 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 There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there.
Nisy ajalahy nte-Betlekheme e Iehoda, fifokoa’ Iehoda, nte-Levý, nañialo ao.
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.
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 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."
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 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.
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 The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
Ninò’ i nte-Leviy ty himoneñe amy ‘ndatiy; vaho ni-hoe anak’ama’e i ajalahiy.
12 Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
Aa le noriza’ i Mikà i nte-Leviy vaho nanoeñe mpisoroñe i ajalahiy an-kiboho’ i Mikà ao.
13 Then Micah said, "Now I know that YHWH will do good to me, seeing I have a Levite as my priest."
Le hoe t’i Mikà: Fantako te hañasoa ahiko t’Iehovà kanao aman-te-Levý ho mpisoroñe.
