< Judges 17 >

1 And he was a man from [the] hill country of Ephraim and name his [was] Micaiah.
I Efraims Bjerge levede en Mand, som hed Mika.
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.
Han sagde til sin Moder: "De 1100 Sekel Sølv, du har mistet, og for hvis Skyld du udtalte en Forbandelse, som jeg selv hørte, se, de Penge er hos mig; jeg har taget dem, men nu vil jeg give dig dem tilbage." Da sagde hans Moder: "HERREN velsigne dig, min Søn!"
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.
Så gav han sin Moder de 1100 Sekel Sølv tilbage; og Moderen sagde: "Disse Penge helliger jeg HERREN og giver min Søn, for at han kan lave et udskåret og støbt Billede."
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.
Så gav han sin Moder Pengene tilbage; og Moderen tog 200 Sekel Sølv deraf og gav dem til Guldsmeden, som lavede et udskåret og støbt Billede deraf, og det fik sin Plads i Mikas Hus.
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.
Manden Mika havde et Gudshus, og han lavede sig en Efod og en Husgud og indsatte en af sine Sønner til sin Præst.
6 In the days those there not [was] a king in Israel everyone the right in view his he did.
I de Dage var der ingen Konge i Israel; enhver gjorde, hvad han fandt for godt.
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.
Nu var der i Betlehem i Juda en ung Mand af Judas Slægt; han var Levit og boede der som fremmed.
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.
Denne Mand forlod sin By Betlehem i Juda for at slå sig ned som fremmed, hvor det kunde træffe sig, og på sin Vandring kom han til Mikas Hus i Efraims Bjerge.
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.
Da spurgte Mika ham: "Hvorfra kommer du?" Han svarede: "Jeg er Levit og har hjemme i Betlehem i Juda, og jeg er på Vandring for at slå mig ned som fremmed, hvor det kan træffe sig."
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.
Da sagde Mika til ham: "Tag Ophold hos mig og bliv min Fader og Præst; jeg vil give dig ti Sekel Sølv om Året og holde dig med Klæder og give dig Kosten!"
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.
Så gik Leviten ind på at tage Ophold hos Manden, og den unge Mand var ham som en af hans egne Sønner.
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.
Mika indsatte så Leviten, og den unge Mand blev Præst hos ham og tog Ophold i Mikas Hus.
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.
Da sagde Mika: "Nu ved jeg, at HERREN vil gøre vel imod mig, siden jeg har fået en Levit til Præst!"
