Judges 17
1 There was a man named Micah who lived in the hilly area where the tribe of Ephraim live.
Tam je bil mož z gore Efrájim, katerega ime je bilo Miha.
2 One day he said to his mother, “I heard you curse whoever stole (1,100 pieces/28 pounds/13 kg.) of silver from your house. I am the one who took the silver, and I still have it.” His mother replied, “My son, I pray that Yahweh will bless you [for admitting that you took it].”
Ta je rekel svoji materi: »Tisoč sto šeklov srebra, ki so bili vzeti od tebe, glede katerih si preklinjala in glede katerih si govorila tudi v moja ušesa, glej, srebro je z menoj. Jaz sem ga vzel.« Njegova mati je rekla: »Blagoslovljen bodi od Gospoda, moj sin.«
3 Micah gave all the silver back to his mother. Then she said [to herself], “I will give [some of] this silver to Yahweh.” And she said to her son, “My son, I want you to make an idol and a statue [from this silver]. So I will give [some of] this silver back to you [for making these things].”
Ko je svoji materi povrnil tisoč sto šeklov srebra, je njegova mati rekla: »Srebro sem v celoti posvetila Gospodu, od svoje roke za svojega sina, da se naredi rezana podoba in ulita podoba. Sedaj ti ga bom torej povrnila.«
4 So when he gave all the silver to his mother, she took (200 pieces/about 5 pounds/1.6 kg.) of it to a (silversmith/man who made things from silver). With the silver that man made an idol and a statue, [and gave them to Micah]. Micah put them in his house.
Vendar je denar vrnil svoji materi in njegova mati je vzela dvesto šeklov srebra in jih dala livarju, ki je iz njih naredil rezano podobo in ulito podobo in bili sta v Mihovi hiši.
5 He had in his house a special (shrine/place for putting sacred things). He made a sacred vest and some small idols [and put them in this shrine along with the big idol and the statue]. Then Micah chose one of his sons to become his priest.
Mož Miha je imel hišo bogov in naredil efód in družinskega malika in uméstil enega izmed svojih sinov, ki je postal njegov duhovnik.
6 At that time, the Israeli people did not have a king. So [Micah and everyone else] did whatever they considered to be the right thing to do.
V tistih dneh ni bilo kralja v Izraelu, temveč je vsak človek počel to, kar je bilo pravilno v njegovih lastnih očeh.
7 There was a young man who had been living in Bethlehem in the area where the tribe of Judah lives. He [wanted to work as a priest because he] was a member of the tribe of Levi.
Tam je bil mladenič iz Judovega Betlehema, iz Judove družine, ki je bil Lévijevec in se je mudil tam.
8 So he left Bethlehem to find another place to live [and work]. He came to Micah’s house in the hilly area where the tribe of Ephraim live.
Človek je odrinil iz mesta, iz Judovega Betlehema, da začasno prebiva, kjer bi lahko našel prostor in ko je potoval, je prišel do gore Efrájim, k Mihovi hiši.
9 Micah asked him, “Where are you from?” He replied, “I come from Bethlehem. I am from the tribe of Levi, and I am looking for a place to live [and work as a priest].”
Miha mu je rekel: »Od kod prihajaš?« Odgovoril mu je: »Jaz sem Lévijevec iz Judovega Betlehema in grem, da začasno prebivam tam, kjer bom lahko našel prostor.«
10 Micah said to him, “Stay with me, and you can become like a father [to counsel me], and be my priest. Each year I will give to you ten pieces of silver and some [new] clothes. And I will provide food for you.”
Miha mu je rekel: »Prebivaj z menoj in bodi mi oče in duhovnik, jaz pa ti bom ob letu dajal deset šeklov srebra in opremo oblačila in živež.« Tako je Lévijevec vstopil.
11 So the young man agreed to live with Micah. He became like one of Micah’s own sons.
Lévijevec je bil zadovoljen, da prebiva z možem in mladenič mu je bil kakor eden izmed njegovih sinov.
12 Micah appointed him to be a priest, and he lived in Micah’s house.
Miha je uméstil Lévijevca in mladenič je postal njegov duhovnik in bil je v Mihovi hiši.
13 Then Micah said, “Now I know that Yahweh will do good things for me, because I have a man from the tribe of Levi to be my priest.”
Potem je Miha rekel: »Sedaj vem, da mi bo Gospod storil dobro, glede na to, da imam Lévijevca za svojega duhovnika.«
