Sog̒u 17
1 Un viens vīrs bija no Efraīma kalniem, tam vārds bija Miha.
And there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
2 Tas sacīja uz savu māti: tie tūkstoš un simts sudraba gabali, kas tev ir atņemti, un kādēļ tu esi apzvērējusies un arī priekš manām ausīm to sacījusi; redzi, tā nauda ir pie manis, es to esmu ņēmis. Tad viņa māte sacīja: esi svētīts, mans dēls, no Tā Kunga!
And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred [pieces] of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou didst utter a curse, and didst also speak it in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be my son of Jehovah.
3 Tad viņš savai mātei atdeva tos tūkstoš un simts sudraba gabalus, bet viņa māte sacīja: es svētīdama šo naudu Tam Kungam esmu svētījusi no savas rokas priekš sava dēla, lai taisa izgrieztu tēlu un lietu bildi; tad nu es tev to atdodu.
And he restored the eleven hundred [pieces] of silver to his mother; and his mother said, I verily dedicate the silver unto Jehovah from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee.
4 Bet viņš savai mātei to naudu atdeva, un viņa māte ņēma divsimt sudraba gabalus un tos deva sudraba kalējam; tas no tā iztaisīja izgrieztu tēlu un lietu bildi. Un tie bija Mihas namā.
And when he restored the money unto his mother, his mother took two hundred [pieces] of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and it was in the house of Micah.
5 Un tam vīram Miham bija dievanams, un viņš taisīja efodu un elku dievus un iesvētīja vienu no saviem dēliem, lai tas viņam būtu par priesteri.
And the man Micah had a house of gods, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
6 Tanīs dienās ķēniņa nebija iekš Israēla; ikviens darīja, ko viņš domāja esam labu.
In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
7 Bet viens jauneklis bija no Jūda Bētlemes, no Jūda radiem; tas bija Levits un tur piemājoja.
And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem-judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he sojourned there.
8 Un tas vīrs bija nogājis no pilsētas, no Jūda Bētlemes, piemist, kur vieta gadītos. Kad nu viņš nāca uz Efraīma kalniem uz Mihas namu, pa savu ceļu staigādams, tad Miha uz viņu sacīja: no kurienes tu nāci?
And the man departed out of the city, out of Beth-lehem-judah, to sojourn where he could find [a place], and he came to the hill-country of Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
9 Un viņš uz to sacīja: es esmu Levits no Jūdu Bētlemes un eju piemist, kur gadīsies.
And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find [a place].
10 Tad Miha uz viņu sacīja: paliec pie manis un esi man par tēvu un priesteri, tad es tev par gadu došu desmit sudraba gabalus un tās vajadzīgās drēbes un uzturu. Un tas Levits (pie viņa) nogāja.
And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten [pieces] of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in.
11 Un tas Levits bija ar mieru pie tā vīra palikt, un tas jauneklis viņam bija kā viens no viņa dēliem.
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
12 Un Miha to Levitu iesvētīja, lai tas jauneklis viņam būtu par priesteri, un tas bija Mihas namā.
And Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
13 Tad Miha sacīja: nu es zinu, ka Tas Kungs man labu darīs, tāpēc, ka man šis Levits par priesteri.
Then said Micah, Now know I that Jehovah will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.
