Judges 17
1 There was a man in the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Micah.
Alò, te gen yon nonm nan peyi ti kolin Ephraïm yo ki te rele Mica.
2 He said to his mother, “The 1,100 pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you spoke a curse, and which I heard—look here! I have the silver with me. I stole it.” His mother said, “May Yahweh bless you, my son!”
Li te di a manman l: “Onz-mil pyès ajan ke yo te retire nan men ou yo, sou sila yo ou te bay madichon ke mwen te tande a, veye byen, ajan an avè m; se mwen ki te pran l.” Epi manman l te di: “Beni ou ye, fis mwen, pa SENYÈ a.”
3 He restored the 1,100 pieces of silver to his mother and his mother said, “I set apart this silver to Yahweh, for my son to make carved and cast metal figures. So now, I restore it to you.”
Konsa, li te retounen onz-san pyès ajan an bay manman l, e manman l te di: “Mwen dedye ajan an soti nan men mwen nèt bay SENYÈ a, pou fis mwen an, pou fè yon imaj taye ak yon imaj ki fonn; alò, pou sa, mwen va retounen yo ba ou.”
4 When he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to a metal worker who made them into carved and cast metal figures, and they were placed in the house of Micah.
Konsa, lè li te fin retounen ajan an bay manman l, manman l te pran de-san pyès ajan an, li te bay yo a yon bòs fonn ajan, ki te fè avèk yo, yon imaj taye. Yo te rete lakay Mica.
5 The man Micah had a house of idols and he made an ephod and household gods, and he hired one of his sons to become his priest.
Epi nonm nan, Mica, te gen yon lye sakre, li te fè yon efòd avèk zidòl lakay yo, e li te konsakre youn nan fis li yo pou ta kapab sèvi kòm prèt li.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel, and everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
Nan jou sa yo, pa t gen wa an Israël. Chak moun te fè sa ki te bon nan pwòp zye pa l.
7 Now there was a young man of Bethlehem in Judah, of the clan of Judah, who was a Levite. He stayed there to fulfill his duties.
Alò, te gen yon jennonm ki te soti Bethléhem nan Juda, nan fanmi Juda a, ki te yon Levit. Li te rete la.
8 The man left Bethlehem in Judah to go and find a place to live. As he journeyed, he came to Micah's house in the hill country of Ephraim.
Konsa, nonm sa a te pati nan vil la, soti nan Bethléhem nan Juda pou ale rete nenpòt kote ke li ta kab twouve. Epi pandan li t ap fè vwayaj la, li te rive nan peyi ti kolin Ephraïm yo, vè lakay Mica.
9 Micah said to him, “Where do you come from?” The man said to him, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem in Judah, and I am traveling to find a place where I might live.”
Mica te mande li: “Se kibò ou sòti?” Li te reponn li: “Mwen se yon Levit ki soti Bethléhem nan Juda, epi mwen pral rete nenpòt kote ke m twouve.”
10 Micah said to him, “Stay with me, and be to me a father and a priest. I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, a suit of clothes, and your food.” So the Levite went into his house.
Alò, Mica te di li: “Vin rete avè m pou vin yon papa ak yon prèt anvè mwen. Mwen va ba ou dis mòso ajan pa ane, yon vètman ak pran swen ou.” Konsa, Levit la te antre.
11 The Levite was content to live with the man, and the young man became to Micah like one of his sons.
Levit la te vin antann avèk nonm nan e jennonm nan te vin pou li tankou youn nan fis li yo.
12 Micah set apart the Levite for sacred duties, and the young man became his priest, and was in Micah's house.
Alò, Mica te konsakre Levit la; jennonm nan de vin prèt li e li te rete lakay Mica.
13 Then Micah said, “Now I know that Yahweh will do good for me, because this Levite has become my priest.”
Konsa, Mica te di: “Koulye a, mwen konnen ke SENYÈ a va fè m reyisi; paske mwen gen yon Levit kòm prèt.”
