Judges 17
1 And he was a man from [the] hill country of Ephraim and name his [was] Micaiah.
Te vaengah Ephraim tlang lamkah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Mikhaiah te om.
2 And he said to mother his one thousand and one hundred the silver which it was taken to you (and you *Q(K)*) you cursed and also you said in ears my here! the silver [is] with me I I took it and she said mother his [be] blessed son my by Yahweh.
Te vaengah a manu taengah, “Nang taengkah cak thawngkhat yakhat a loh dongah nang n'tap coeng. Ka hna ah khaw, 'Cak te kamah taengla ka loh ne,’ a ti,” a ti nah. Te dongah a manu loh, “BOEIPA rhangneh ka ca a yoethen,” a ti.
3 And he brought back [the] one thousand and one hundred the silver to mother his and she said mother his certainly I consecrate the silver to Yahweh from hand my for son my to make a carved image and a molten image and therefore I will return it to you.
Te dongah cak thawngkhat yakhat te a manu taengla a bal hatah a manu loh, “Ka kut lamkah cak te ka ca kah mueithuk neh mueihlawn saii nah ham BOEIPA taengah ka hoep rhoela ka hoep coeng. Te dongah namah taengla kam mael pawn ni,” a ti nah.
4 And he brought back the silver to mother his and she took mother his two hundred silver and she gave it to the silversmith and he made it a carved image and a molten image and it was in [the] house of Micaiah.
Te dongah a manu taengla a mael tangtae cak te a manu loh a loh. Cak yakhat te, mueithuk aka saii tih mueihlawn aka hlawn, Mikhaiah im kah aka om taengah a paek.
5 And the man Micah [belonged] to him a house of God and he made an ephod and teraphim and he filled [the] hand of one from sons his and he became of him a priest.
Tekah hlang Maikah amah taengah pathen im pakhat om. Te dongah hnisui neh sithui te a saii tih a ca rhoek khui lamkah pakhat kut dongah a poem sak phoeiah amah kah khosoih la a khueh.
6 In the days those there not [was] a king in Israel everyone the right in view his he did.
Te vaeng tue ah Israel he manghai a khueh pawt dongah hlang boeih loh a mik dongkah a thuem sak bangla a saii.
7 And he was a young man from Beth-lehem Judah from [the] tribe of Judah and he [was] a Levite and he [was] sojourning there.
Te vaengah Judah kho Bethlehem lamkah Judah koca cadong pakhat om tih anih khaw Levi la a om dongah te ah te pah van.
8 And he went the man from the city from Beth-lehem Judah to sojourn in where he will find and he came [the] hill country of Ephraim to [the] house of Micah to make journey his.
Judah Bethlehem khopuei lamkah hlang te cet tih a pah nah te a toem tih a longpuei a thuep hatah Ephraim tlang kah Maikah im la pawk.
9 And he said to him Micah from where? do you come and he said to him [am] a Levite I from Beth-lehem Judah and I [am] going to sojourn in where I will find.
Te vaengah anih te Maikah loh, “Me lamkah lae na thoeng,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai he Judah Bethlehem lamkah Levi ni, te dongah pah nah te toem ham ka caeh dae he,” a ti nah.
10 And he said to him Micah remain! with me and become of me a father and a priest and I I will give to you ten silver to the days and an order of garments and sustenance your and he went the Levite.
Te dongah anih te Maikah loh, “Kai taengah khosa mai lamtah kai hamla a pa banghui neh khosoih lam khaw om mai. Nang te kamah loh kum khat ah cak a laang, himbai phu, na thahuelnah khaw kam paek bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Levi te khaw pahoi kun.
11 And he was willing the Levite to dwell with the man and he was the young man to him like one from sons his.
Levi khaw hlang neh khosak ham a mulmet coeng dongah a capa pakhat bangla anih taengah cadong la a om pah.
12 And he filled Micah [the] hand of the Levite and he became of him the young man a priest and he was in [the] house of Micah.
Levi kut te khaw Maikah loh a khueh pah coeng dongah cadong khaw anih kah khosoih la a om pah tih Maikah im ah kho a sak.
13 And he said Micah now I know that he will do good Yahweh to me for he has become of me the Levite a priest.
Te daengah Maikah loh, “Levi he ka khosoih la om coeng tih kai hamla BOEIPA then tila ka ming coeng,” a ti.
