Judges 17
1 There was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
Un viens vīrs bija no Efraīma kalniem, tam vārds bija Miha.
2 He said to his mother, “The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse, and also spoke it in my ears—behold, the silver is with me. I took it.” His mother said, “May the LORD bless my son!”
Tas sacīja uz savu māti: tie tūkstoš un simts sudraba gabali, kas tev ir atņemti, un kādēļ tu esi apzvērējusies un arī priekš manām ausīm to sacījusi; redzi, tā nauda ir pie manis, es to esmu ņēmis. Tad viņa māte sacīja: esi svētīts, mans dēls, no Tā Kunga!
3 He restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, then his mother said, “I most certainly dedicate the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a carved image and a molten image. Now therefore I will restore it to you.”
Tad viņš savai mātei atdeva tos tūkstoš un simts sudraba gabalus, bet viņa māte sacīja: es svētīdama šo naudu Tam Kungam esmu svētījusi no savas rokas priekš sava dēla, lai taisa izgrieztu tēlu un lietu bildi; tad nu es tev to atdodu.
4 When he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to a silversmith, who made a carved image and a molten image out of it. It was in the house of Micah.
Bet viņš savai mātei to naudu atdeva, un viņa māte ņēma divsimt sudraba gabalus un tos deva sudraba kalējam; tas no tā iztaisīja izgrieztu tēlu un lietu bildi. Un tie bija Mihas namā.
5 The man Micah had a house of gods, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
Un tam vīram Miham bija dievanams, un viņš taisīja efodu un elku dievus un iesvētīja vienu no saviem dēliem, lai tas viņam būtu par priesteri.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.
Tanīs dienās ķēniņa nebija iekš Israēla; ikviens darīja, ko viņš domāja esam labu.
7 There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there.
Bet viens jauneklis bija no Jūda Bētlemes, no Jūda radiem; tas bija Levits un tur piemājoja.
8 The man departed out of the city, out of Bethlehem Judah, to live where he could find a place, and he came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he travelled.
Un tas vīrs bija nogājis no pilsētas, no Jūda Bētlemes, piemist, kur vieta gadītos. Kad nu viņš nāca uz Efraīma kalniem uz Mihas namu, pa savu ceļu staigādams, tad Miha uz viņu sacīja: no kurienes tu nāci?
9 Micah said to him, “Where did you come from?” He said to him, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem Judah, and I am looking for a place to live.”
Un viņš uz to sacīja: es esmu Levits no Jūdu Bētlemes un eju piemist, kur gadīsies.
10 Micah said to him, “Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver per year, a suit of clothing, and your food.” So the Levite went in.
Tad Miha uz viņu sacīja: paliec pie manis un esi man par tēvu un priesteri, tad es tev par gadu došu desmit sudraba gabalus un tās vajadzīgās drēbes un uzturu. Un tas Levits (pie viņa) nogāja.
11 The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
Un tas Levits bija ar mieru pie tā vīra palikt, un tas jauneklis viņam bija kā viens no viņa dēliem.
12 Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
Un Miha to Levitu iesvētīja, lai tas jauneklis viņam būtu par priesteri, un tas bija Mihas namā.
13 Then Micah said, “Now I know that the LORD will do good to me, since I have a Levite as my priest.”
Tad Miha sacīja: nu es zinu, ka Tas Kungs man labu darīs, tāpēc, ka man šis Levits par priesteri.
