Judges 17
1 And he was a man from [the] hill country of Ephraim and name his [was] Micaiah.
E nwere otu nwoke si nʼala ugwu ugwu Ifrem, aha ya bụ Maịka.
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.
Otu ụbọchị, Maịka gwara nne ya okwu sị ya, “I chetara puku na narị ego ọlaọcha shekel ndị ahụ funarịrị gị, nke i ji nʼihi ya bụọ onye zuru ya ọnụ nʼoge gara aga? Eji m ọlaọcha ahụ. Ọ bụ m weere ya.” Nne ya sịrị, “Ka Onyenwe anyị gọzie gị nwa m!”
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.
Mgbe o nyeghachiri nne ya puku na narị ego ọlaọcha shekel ahụ, nne ya gwara ya sị, “Ana m edo ọlaọcha ndị a nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị nʼihi nwa m nwoke maka iji ya mee oyiyi a pịrị apị na arụsị a kpụrụ akpụ. Aga m emesịa nyeghachi gị ya.”
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.
Ya mere, o nyeghachiri nne ya ọlaọcha ahụ, Nne ya weere narị ego ọlaọcha shekel abụọ wegara ọkpụ ụzụ ọlaọcha, onye jiri ya mee oyiyi a pịrị apị na ihe a kpụrụ akpụ. E tinyere ha nʼụlọ Maịka.
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.
Nwoke ahụ bụ Maịka nwere ụlọ arụsị, o mere efọọd na arụsị ezinaụlọ dị iche iche, mee otu nʼime ụmụ ya ndị ikom ka ọ bụrụ onye nchụaja ya.
6 In the days those there not [was] a king in Israel everyone the right in view his he did.
Nʼụbọchị ndị a, Izrel enweghị eze na-achị ha. Nʼihi nke a, onye ọbụla na-eme ihe ọbụla ọ chọrọ, na ihe ọbụla dị ya mma nʼanya.
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.
Otu nwokorobịa onye Livayị, sitere nʼobodo Betlehem nke dị na Juda, bụ onye binyere ndị agbụrụ Juda,
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.
hapụrụ obodo ahụ, bụ Betlehem Juda ịchọ ọnọdụ nʼebe ọzọ. Mgbe ọ na-aga, ọ bịaruru nʼụlọ Maịka nʼala ugwu ugwu Ifrem.
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.
Maịka jụrụ ya, “Ebee ka i si bịa?” Ọ sịrị “Abụ m onye Livayị si Betlehem dị na Juda. Ana m achọrọ onwe m ebe m ga-anọ.”
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Maịka sịrị ya, “Soro biri nʼụlọ m, ghọkwara m nna na onye nchụaja, aga m akwụ gị mkpụrụ ego ọlaọcha shekel iri kwa afọ, nyekwa gị uwe, na ihe oriri.”
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.
Ya mere, onye Livayị ahụ kwere nʼihe ọ gwara ya, nwokorobịa ahụ sooro ya biri ka otu nʼime ụmụ ya ndị ikom.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Maịka nyere onye Livayị ahụ ọrụ, nwokorobịa ahụ ghọọrọ ya onye nchụaja, birikwa nʼụlọ ya.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Maịka kwuru, “Ugbu a, amaara m na Onyenwe anyị ga-agọzi m nke ukwuu, nʼihi na onye Livayị a aghọọla onye nchụaja m.”
