Sog̒u 17
1 Un viens vīrs bija no Efraīma kalniem, tam vārds bija Miha.
And there was a man of mount Ephraim, and his name was Michaias.
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 to his mother, The eleven hundred pieces of silver which thou tookest of thyself, and [about which] thou cursedst me, and spokest in my ears, behold, the silver [is] with me; I took it: and his mother said, Blessed [be] my son of the Lord.
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 had wholly consecrated the money to the Lord out of my hand for my son, to make a graven and a molten [image], and now I will restore it to 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.
But he returned the silver to his mother, and his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to a silversmith, and he made it a graven and a molten image; and it was in the house of Michaias.
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 house of Michaias [was] to him the house of God, and he made an ephod and theraphin, and he consecrated one of his sons, and he became to him a priest.
6 Tanīs dienās ķēniņa nebija iekš Israēla; ikviens darīja, ko viņš domāja esam labu.
And 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 in Bethleem of the tribe of Juda, and he [was] a Levite, and he was sojourning 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 from Bethleem the city of Juda to sojourn in whatever place he might find; and he came as far as mount Ephraim, and to the house of Michaias to accomplish his journey.
9 Un viņš uz to sacīja: es esmu Levits no Jūdu Bētlemes un eju piemist, kur gadīsies.
And Michaias said to him, Whence comest thou? and he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethleem Juda, and I go to sojourn in any place I may find.
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 Michaias said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest; and I will give thee ten pieces of silver by the year, and a change of raiment, and thy living.
11 Un tas Levits bija ar mieru pie tā vīra palikt, un tas jauneklis viņam bija kā viens no viņa dēliem.
And the Levite went and began to dwell with the man; and the young man was to 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 Michaias consecrated the Levite, and he became to him a priest, and he was in the house of Michaias.
13 Tad Miha sacīja: nu es zinu, ka Tas Kungs man labu darīs, tāpēc, ka man šis Levits par priesteri.
And Michaias said, Now I know that the Lord will do me good, because a Levite has become my priest.
