1 Hagi mago nera Efraemi agona kokampi nemania ne' agi'a Maika'e.
There was a man in the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was 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,
He said to his mother, “The 1,100 pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you spoke a curse, and which I heard—look here! I have the silver with me. I stole it.” His mother said, “May Yahweh bless you, 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.
He restored the 1,100 pieces of silver to his mother and his mother said, “I set apart this silver to Yahweh, for my son to make carved and cast metal figures. So now, I restore it to you.”
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.
When he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to a metal worker who made them into carved and cast metal figures, and they were placed 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.
The man Micah had a house of idols and he made an ephod and household gods, and he hired one of his sons to become his 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, and everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
7 Hagi mago knazupa Juda nagapinti mago Livae nehaza ne'mo'a Betlehem kumate Juda mopafi nemaniane.
Now there was a young man of Bethlehem in Judah, of the clan of Judah, who was a Levite. He stayed there to fulfill his duties.
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.
The man left Bethlehem in Judah to go and find a place to live. As he journeyed, he came to Micah's house in the hill country of Ephraim.
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.
Micah said to him, “Where do you come from?” The man said to him, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem in Judah, and I am traveling to find a place where I might live.”
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.
Micah said to him, “Stay with me, and be to me a father and a priest. I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, a suit of clothes, and your food.” So the Levite went into his house.
11 Hagi Livae nehazamo'a muse nehuno Maika nemofoza higeno,
The Levite was content to live with the man, and the young man became to Micah like 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.
Micah set apart the Levite for sacred duties, and the young man became his priest, and was in Micah's house.
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 know that Yahweh will do good for me, because this Levite has become my priest.”
