Judges 17
1 In that tyme was a man, `Mycas bi name, of the hil of Effraym.
Namicha biyya gaara Efreem keessa jiraatu kan maqaan isaa Miikaayaa jedhamu tokkotu ture;
2 And he seide to his modir, Lo! Y haue a thousynde `and an hundrid platis of siluer, whiche thou departidist to thee, and on whiche thou sworist, while Y herde, and tho ben at me. To whom sche answeride, Blessid be my sone of the Lord.
innis haadha isaatiin, “Meetiin kuma tokkoo fi dhibba tokko ulfaatu kan si duraa badee ani utuu ati nama si jalaa fudhate abaartuu dhagaʼe sun na bira jira; kan fudhates anuma” jedhe. Haati isaas, “Yaa ilma ko, Waaqayyo si haa eebbisu” jetteen.
3 Therefor he yeldide tho to his modir; and sche seide to hym, Y halewide and avowide this siluer to the Lord, that my sone resseyue of myn hond, and make a grauun ymage and a yotun ymage; and now I `yyue it to thee.
Yommuu inni meetii kuma tokkoo fi dhibba tokko sana deebisee haadha isaatti kennettis, haati isaa, “Akka ilmi koo fakkii meetiin itti uffifame ittiin hojjetuuf ani meetii koo Waaqayyoof addaan baaseera. Ani ammas deebisee sittin kenna” jetteen.
4 Therfor he yeldide to his modir; and sche took twei hundryd platis of siluer, and yaf tho to a werk man of siluer, that he schulde make of tho a grauun `ymage and yotun, that was in `the hows of Mycas.
Kanaafuu inni meetii sana deebisee haadha isaatiif kenne; isheenis meetii dhibba lama fuutee tumtuu meetiitti kennite; tumtuun sunis fakkii fi Waaqa tolfamaa ittiin hojjete. Fakkii fi Waaqni tolfamaan sunis mana Miikaayaa keessa kaaʼaman.
5 Which departide also a litil hous ther ynne to God; and made ephod, and theraphym, that is, a preestis cloth, and ydols; and he fillide the hond of oon of his sones, and he was maad a preest to hym.
Namichi Miikaa jedhamu kunis galma Waaqa tolfamaa qaba ture; innis dirataa fi waaqota tolfamoo tokko tokko tolchee ilmaan isaa keessaa nama tokko luba godhate.
6 In tho daies was no kyng in Israel, but ech man dide this, that semyde riytful to hym silf.
Bara sana Israaʼel keessa mootiin hin jiru ture; tokkoon tokkoon namaa waanuma isatti tole hojjeta ture.
7 Also another yonge wexynge man was of Bethleem of Juda, of the kynrede therof, `that is, of Juda, and he was a dekene, and dwellide there.
Yeroo sanatti biyya Yihuudaa keessa dargaggeessa gosa Lewwii kan Beetlihem keessa gosa Yihuudaa gidduu jiraatu tokkotu ture.
8 And he yede out of the citee of Bethleem, and wolde be a pilgrim, where euere he foond profitable to hym silf. And whanne he made iourney, and `hadde come in to the hil of Effraym, and hadde bowid a litil in to `the hows of Mycha,
Innis iddoo jireenyaa kan biraa barbaaduuf jedhee magaalaa sana dhiisee deeme. Utuma deemuus gara biyya gaaraa Efreem mana Miikaa dhufe.
9 `he was axid of hym, Fro whennus comest thou? Which answeride, Y am a dekene of Bethleem of Juda, and Y go, that Y dwelle where Y may, and se that it is profitable to me.
Miikaanis, “Ati eessaa dhufte?” jedhee isa gaafate. Innis, “Ani nama Lewwii kan Beetlihem biyya Yihuudaatii dhufee iddoo jireenyaa barbaaduu dha” jedheen.
10 Micha seide, Dwelle thou at me, and be thou fadir and preest `to me; and Y schal yyue to thee bi ech yeer ten platis of siluer, and double cloth, and tho thingis that ben nedeful to lijflode.
Miikaanis, “Na wajjin jiraadhuutii abbaa fi luba naa taʼi; anis waggaatti meetii kudhan siif kenna; uffata keetii fi nyaata kees nan dandaʼa” isaan jedhe.
11 He assentide, and dwellide `at the man; and he was to the man as oon of sones.
Kanaafuu Lewwichi sun isa wajjin jiraachuuf walii gale; dargaggeessi sunis Miikaadhaaf ilmaan isaa keessaa akkuma nama tokkoo taʼe.
12 And Mycha fillide his hond, and hadde the child preest at hym,
Miikaanis dargaggeessa Lewwii sana muudate; innis luba isaa taʼee mana isaa jiraate.
13 and seide, Now Y woot, that God schal do wel to me, hauynge a preest of the kyn of Leuy.
Miikaanis, “Erga Lewwichi kun luba koo taʼe, ani akka Waaqayyo waan gaarii naa godhu nan beeka” jedhe.
