2 I aku la ia i kona makuwahine, O kela mau apana kala, hookahi tausani, me ka haneri keu, i laweia, mai ou mai nei, ka mea au i kuamuamu ai, a i olelo mai ai hoi ma ko'u pepeiao, eia no ia'u ua kala la. Na'u no i lawe. I mai la kona makuwahine, E pomaikai ana oe ia Iehova, e kuu keiki.

7 He kanaka opiopio, mailoko mai o Betelehemaiuda, no ka ohana a Iuda, he mamo na Levi, a noho no ia malaila.

9 I mai la o Mika ia ia, Mai hea mai oe i hele mai ai? I aku la ia, He Levi au, no Betelehemaiuda mai, a ke hele nei au e noho ma kahi e loaa'i.
Mika akamubvunza akati, “Unobvepiko?” Iye akati, “Ndiri muRevhi anobva kuBheterehema muJudha, uye ndiri kutsvaka nzvimbo yokugara.”
10 I mai la o Mika ia ia, E noho pu oe me au, i lilo oe i makua no'u, a i kahuna hoi, a e haawi aku au ia oe i umi apana kala ma ka makahiki, a i pa lole komo elua, a i ka ai no hoi; nolaila, komo aku la ua Levi nei iloko.
Ipapo Mika akati kwaari, “Gara hako neni ugova baba vangu nomuprista wangu, uye ndichakupa mashekeri esirivha gumi pagore, nguo dzako dzokupfeka uye nezvokudya zvako.”
11 Lealea ia Levi e noho pu me ua kanaka la, a ua like ia kanaka opiopio ia ia, me kekahi o kana mau keikikane.
Saka muRevhi akabvuma kugara naye, uye jaya iri rakanga rakaita somumwe wavanakomana vake.
12 Hoolaa iho la o Mika i ka Levi, a lilo ua kanaka opiopio nei i kahuna nona, a noho iho la ma ka hale o Mika.

13 Alaila, i ae la o Mika, Ua ike au, e hoopomaikai ana o Iehova ia'u, no ka mea, he Levi no ko'u kahuna.
Uye Mika akati, “Zvino ndinoziva kuti Jehovha achandiitira zvakanaka, sezvo muRevhi uyu ava muprista wangu.”
