15 And they turned aside there and they came to [the] house of the young man the Levite [the] house of Micah and they asked of him to welfare.

Hote taminaw ni, Mikah im a kâen teh, hlun e meikaphawk, Ephod Terah cathut, dêi e meikaphawk, hah a la awh toteh, vaihma ni bangmaw na sak awh telah atipouh.

20 And it was good [the] heart of the priest and he took the ephod and the teraphim and the carved image and he went in [the] midst of the people.
Hahoi, vaihma teh a lung ahawi. Ephod hoi Terah cathut hoi hlun e meikaphawk hah a la teh, ahnimouh koe a kâen toe.
