Judges 17
1 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name [was] Micah.
А беше један човек из горе Јефремове по имену Миха.
2 And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred [shekels] of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou didst curse, and speak of also in my ears, behold, the silver [is] with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed [be thou] of the LORD, my son.
Он рече матери својој: Хиљаду и сто сребрника, што су ти украдени, за које си клела и говорила преда мном, ево, то је сребро у мене, ја сам га узео. А мати му рече: Господ да те благослови, сине!
3 And when he had restored the eleven hundred [shekels] of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it to thee.
А кад врати хиљаду и сто сребрника матери својој, рече мати његова: То сам сребро посветила Господу из своје руке за тебе, сине мој, да се начини од њега лик резан и ливен; зато ти га сада дајем натраг.
4 Yet he restored the money to his mother; and his mother took two hundred [shekels] of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made of it a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
Али он опет даде сребро матери својој, а мати узе двеста сребрника и даде златару, а он начини од њега лик резан и ливен, те беше у кући Мишиној.
5 And the man Micah had a house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
И тај Миха имаше кућу за богове, и начини, оплећак и ликове, и посвети једног између синова својих да му буде свештеник.
6 In those days [there was] no king in Israel, [but] every man did [that which was] right in his own eyes.
У то време не беше цара у Израиљу: сваки чињаше шта му драго.
7 And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem-judah of the family of Judah, who [was] a Levite, and he sojourned there.
А беше један младић из Витлејема Јудиног, од породице Јудине, који беше Левит и онде борављаше.
8 And the man departed out of the city from Beth-lehem-judah, to sojourn where he could find [a place]: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
Он отиде из тог града, Витлејема Јудиног, да се настани где може; и идући својим путем дође у гору Јефремову до куће Мишине.
9 And Micah said to him, Whence comest thou? And he said to him, I [am] a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find [a place].
А Миха му рече: Откуда идеш? Одговори му Левит: Из Витлејема Јудиног, идем да се настаним где могу.
10 And Micah said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten [shekels] of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in.
А Миха му рече: Остани код мене, и буди ми отац и свештеник, а ја ћу ти дати десет сребрника на годину и двоје хаљине и храну. И отиде Левит к њему.
11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
И Левиту би по вољи да остане код њега, и би му тај младић као да му је син.
12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
И Миха посвети Левита да му је свештеник тај младић, и оста у кући Мишиној.
13 Then said Micah, Now I know that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite for [my] priest.
Тада рече Миха: Сада знам да ће ми Господ учинити добро зато што имам Левита свештеника.
