Jasi Vahere 17
1 Hagi mago nera Efraemi agona kokampi nemania ne' agi'a Maika'e.
Now there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim named Micah.
2 Mago kna nererankura amanage hu'ne, nagra nentahugenka 1tausen 100'a silva zagoma musufama erizagenka kazusi ke huzamante'nane. E'ina zagoa nagra musufa eri'noe. Higeno nerera'a kenona huno, hufore'ma hantera Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hugantesie,
And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver which were taken from you, about which you took an oath and said in my hearing, I have given this silver to the Lord from my hand for myself, to make a pictured image and a metal image: see, I have the silver, for I took it: so now I will give it back to you. And his mother said, May the blessing of the Lord be on my son.
3 higeno'a ana 1tausen 100'a silva zagoa erino nerera ome amigeno nerera'a amanage hu'ne, Menina nagra ama'na zagoa nenamofonku hu'na Ra Anumzamofo amuanki'na kaza osu havi anumzamofo amema'a tro'ma nehaza vahe zaminuge'za tro hute'za eme kamigahaze.
And he gave back the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, and his mother said, I have made the silver holy to the Lord from me for my son, to make a pictured image and a metal image.
4 Anage nehuno nerera'a 200'a silva zagoa erino zafare'ma antre'zama silvama rukamre'za keonke'zama tro'ma nehaza vahe ome zamizage'za, eri'za vahe amema'a tro nehu'za, magora silvaretike tro hu'za eme amizageno erino Maika nompi ome ante'ne.
So he gave the silver back to his mother. Then his mother took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to a metal-worker who made a pictured image and a metal image from them: and it was in the house of Micah.
5 Hagi Maika'a osi mono noma'a me'neankino, pristi vahe kukena tro huno efotie nehaza amimizare rente'za trohunteno mofavreramima'afinti mago'mofo pristi manisie huno huhamprinte'ne.
And the man Micah had a house of gods; and he made an ephod and family gods and put one of his sons in the position of priest.
6 E'ina knafina Israeli vahepina mago kinia omani'neankino mago mago vahe'mo'a agra'a avesite kegeno avure'ma fatgoma hiazana hutere hu'ne.
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did as seemed right to him.
7 Hagi mago knazupa Juda nagapinti mago Livae nehaza ne'mo'a Betlehem kumate Juda mopafi nemaniane.
Now there was a young man living in Beth-lehem-judah, of the family of Judah and a Levite, who was not a townsman of the place.
8 Hagi Juda mopafinti Betlehemu kumara atreno kuma'ma manisia kumaku hakeno vu'ne. Hagi anama nevuno'a Efraemi agona kokampi vuno Maika nonte uhanati'ne.
And he went away from the town of Beth-lehem-judah, looking for somewhere to make his living-place; and on his journey he came to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah.
9 Anama uhanatigeno'a Maika'a amanage huno hu'ne, kagra igati ane? Huno antahigegeno amanage huno ana ne'mo'a hu'ne. Nagra Livae ne' Juda mopafi Betlehemu kumate nemanua ne'mo'na mani'nua kumaku hake'na neoe.
And Micah said to him, Where do you come from? And he said to him, I am a Levite from Beth-lehem-judah, and I am looking for a living-place.
10 Higeno Maika'a amanage hu'ne, Nenfa kna hunka nagri'ene mani'nenka, pristi eri'za vaheni'a manio. Hagi mago mago kafufina 10ni'a Silva zagone kukenane ne'zanena kamigahue, higeno ana ne'mo'a ufre'ne.
Then Micah said to him, Make your living-place with me, and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten shekels of silver a year and your clothing and food.
11 Hagi Livae nehazamo'a muse nehuno Maika nemofoza higeno,
And the Levite said he would make his living-place with the man, and he became to him as one of his sons.
12 Maika'a ana Livae nehazavea pristi mani'nie huno azeri ruotage higeno, Maika nompi pristi eri'za ne' mani'ne.
And Micah gave the position to the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
13 Ana nehuno Maika'a anage hu'ne, nagra menima nagesama antahuana, Livae ne' pristia azeri otuankino Ra Anumzamo'a asomu hunantegahie hu'ne.
Then Micah said, Now I am certain that the Lord will do me good, seeing that the Levite has become my priest.
