Bilombe 17
1 Kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi, ezalaki na mobali moko; kombo na ye ezalaki « Mika. »
In that tyme was a man, `Mycas bi name, of the hil of Effraym.
2 Alobaki na mama na ye: — Shekeli ya palata nkoto moko na nkama moko oyo bayibaki yo, oyo na tina na yango olakelaki mabe na miso na ngai, ezali na maboko na ngai; ngai nde nazwaki yango. Mama na ye alobaki na ye: — Mwana na ngai, tika ete Yawe apambola yo!
And he seide to his modir, Lo! Y haue a thousynde `and an hundrid platis of siluer, whiche thou departidist to thee, and on whiche thou sworist, while Y herde, and tho ben at me. To whom sche answeride, Blessid be my sone of the Lord.
3 Azongiselaki mama na ye mbongo ya bibende ya palata, nkoto moko na nkama moko. Mama na ye alobaki: — Na maboko na ngai moko, nabonzi mbongo yango epai na Yawe mpo na mwana na ngai, mpo na kosala ekeko mpe nzambe ya ekeko ya palata oyo banyangwisa. Nakozongisela yo yango.
Therefor he yeldide tho to his modir; and sche seide to hym, Y halewide and avowide this siluer to the Lord, that my sone resseyue of myn hond, and make a grauun ymage and a yotun ymage; and now I `yyue it to thee.
4 Tango Mika azwaki mbongo yango, azongisaki yango lisusu epai ya mama na ye; mpe mama na ye alongolaki mbongo ya bibende ya palata, nkama mibale oyo apesaki epai ya monyangwisi bibende na moto. Moto yango asalaki na yango ekeko mpe nzambe ya ekeko ya palata oyo banyangwisa. Mpe batiaki yango kati na ndako ya Mika.
Therfor he yeldide to his modir; and sche took twei hundryd platis of siluer, and yaf tho to a werk man of siluer, that he schulde make of tho a grauun `ymage and yotun, that was in `the hows of Mycas.
5 Nzokande, Mika azalaki na esika na ye ya bule epai wapi azalaki kosambela. Asalisaki efode mpe banzambe mosusu ya bikeko; bongo abulisaki lokola nganga-nzambe na ye, moko kati na bana na ye ya mibali.
Which departide also a litil hous ther ynne to God; and made ephod, and theraphym, that is, a preestis cloth, and ydols; and he fillide the hond of oon of his sones, and he was maad a preest to hym.
6 Na mikolo wana, bana ya Isalaele bazalaki na mokonzi te; moto na moto azalaki kosala nyonso oyo ezali malamu na miso na ye.
In tho daies was no kyng in Israel, but ech man dide this, that semyde riytful to hym silf.
7 Nzokande, ezalaki na elenge mobali moko ya Molevi, azalaki kovanda na Beteleemi ya Yuda, na ekolo Yuda.
Also another yonge wexynge man was of Bethleem of Juda, of the kynrede therof, `that is, of Juda, and he was a dekene, and dwellide there.
8 Alongwaki na engumba Beteleemi ya Yuda mpe akendeki koluka esika mosusu ya kovanda. Na mobembo na ye, akomaki na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi, na ndako ya Mika.
And he yede out of the citee of Bethleem, and wolde be a pilgrim, where euere he foond profitable to hym silf. And whanne he made iourney, and `hadde come in to the hil of Effraym, and hadde bowid a litil in to `the hows of Mycha,
9 Mika atunaki ye: — Owuti wapi? Azongisaki: — Nazali moto ya libota ya Levi, nawuti na Beteleemi ya Yuda mpe nazali koluka esika ya kovanda.
`he was axid of hym, Fro whennus comest thou? Which answeride, Y am a dekene of Bethleem of Juda, and Y go, that Y dwelle where Y may, and se that it is profitable to me.
10 Mika alobaki na ye: — Vanda elongo na ngai. Okozala tata mpe nganga na ngai; nakopesa yo na mobu moko mbongo ya bibende ya palata, zomi, bilamba ya kolata mpe biloko ya kolia. Molevi akomaki kosala epai ya Mika.
Micha seide, Dwelle thou at me, and be thou fadir and preest `to me; and Y schal yyue to thee bi ech yeer ten platis of siluer, and double cloth, and tho thingis that ben nedeful to lijflode.
11 Boye, Molevi yango andimaki kovanda elongo na Mika. Mika akomisaki Molevi lokola moko kati na bana na ye.
He assentide, and dwellide `at the man; and he was to the man as oon of sones.
12 Mika abulisaki Molevi yango lokola nganga-nzambe na ye mpe akomaki kovanda elongo na ye.
And Mycha fillide his hond, and hadde the child preest at hym,
13 Mika alobaki: « Sik’oyo nayebi ete Yawe akosalela ngai bolamu lokola moto ya libota ya Levi akomi nganga-nzambe na ngai. »
and seide, Now Y woot, that God schal do wel to me, hauynge a preest of the kyn of Leuy.
