Jij 17
1 Alò, te gen yon nonm nan peyi ti kolin Ephraïm yo ki te rele Mica.
In that tyme was a man, `Mycas bi name, of the hil of Effraym.
2 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.”
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.
3 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.”
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.
4 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.
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.
5 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.
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.
6 Nan jou sa yo, pa t gen wa an Israël. Chak moun te fè sa ki te bon nan pwòp zye pa l.
In tho daies was no kyng in Israel, but ech man dide this, that semyde riytful to hym silf.
7 Alò, te gen yon jennonm ki te soti Bethléhem nan Juda, nan fanmi Juda a, ki te yon Levit. Li te rete la.
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.
8 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.
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,
9 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.”
`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.
10 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.
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.
11 Levit la te vin antann avèk nonm nan e jennonm nan te vin pou li tankou youn nan fis li yo.
He assentide, and dwellide `at the man; and he was to the man as oon of sones.
12 Alò, Mica te konsakre Levit la; jennonm nan de vin prèt li e li te rete lakay Mica.
And Mycha fillide his hond, and hadde the child preest at hym,
13 Konsa, Mica te di: “Koulye a, mwen konnen ke SENYÈ a va fè m reyisi; paske mwen gen yon Levit kòm prèt.”
and seide, Now Y woot, that God schal do wel to me, hauynge a preest of the kyn of Leuy.
