Judges 17
1 There was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
A bijaše jedan èovjek iz gore Jefremove po imenu 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!”
On reèe materi svojoj: tisuæa i sto srebrnika, što su ti ukradeni, za koje si klela i govorila preda mnom, evo, to je srebro u mene, ja sam ga uzeo. A mati mu reèe: Gospod da te blagoslovi, sine!
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.”
A kad vrati tisuæu i sto srebrnika materi svojoj, reèe mati njegova: to sam srebro posvetila Gospodu iz svoje ruke za tebe, sine moj, da se naèini od njega lik rezan i liven; zato ti ga sada dajem natrag.
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.
Ali on opet dade srebro materi svojoj, a mati uze dvjesta srebrnika i dade zlataru, a on naèini od njega lik rezan i liven, te bijaše u kuæi Mišinoj.
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.
I taj Miha imaše kuæu za bogove, i naèini opleæak i likove, i posveti jednoga izmeðu sinova svojih da mu bude sveštenik.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.
U to vrijeme ne bješe cara u Izrailju: svaki èinjaše što mu bijaše drago.
7 There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there.
A bješe jedan mladiæ iz Vitlejema Judina, od porodice Judine, koji bješe Levit i ondje boravljaše.
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.
On otide iz toga grada, Vitlejema Judina, da se nastani gdje može; i iduæi svojim putem doðe u goru Jefremovu do kuæe Mišine.
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.”
A Miha mu reèe: otkuda ideš? Odgovori mu Levit: iz Vitlejema Judina, idem da se nastanim gdje mogu.
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.
A Miha mu reèe: ostani kod mene, i budi mi otac i sveštenik, a ja æu ti dati deset srebrnika na godinu i dvoje haljine i hranu. I otide Levit k njemu.
11 The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
I Levitu bi po volji da ostane kod njega, i bi mu taj mladiæ kao da mu je sin.
12 Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
I Miha posveti Levita da mu je sveštenik taj mladiæ, i osta u kuæi Mišinoj.
13 Then Micah said, “Now I know that the LORD will do good to me, since I have a Levite as my priest.”
Tada reèe Miha: sada znam da æe mi Gospod uèiniti dobro zato što imam Levita sveštenika.
