Kaiwhakariterite 17
1 Na i te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima tetahi tangata, ko Mika tona ingoa.
And he was a man from [the] hill country of Ephraim and name his [was] Micaiah.
2 Na ka mea ia ki tona whaea, Ko nga hiriwa kotahi tekau ma tahi rau i tangohia ra i a koe, te mea i kanga ra koe, i korero ai hoki koe ki oku taringa, nana, kei ahau aua hiriwa; naku i tango. Na ka mea tona whaea, Ma Ihowa koe e manaaki, e taku ta ma.
And he said to mother his one thousand and one hundred the silver which it was taken to you (and you *Q(K)*) you cursed and also you said in ears my here! the silver [is] with me I I took it and she said mother his [be] blessed son my by Yahweh.
3 Na ka whakahokia e ia nga hiriwa kotahi tekau ma tahi rau ki tona whaea, a ka mea tona whaea; Ka whakatapua rawatia e ahau te hiriwa ma Ihowa, he mea na toku ringa ma taku tama, hei hanga whakapakoko, he mea whaowhao, he mea whakarewa. Na, me wha kahoki atu e ahau ki a koe inaianei.
And he brought back [the] one thousand and one hundred the silver to mother his and she said mother his certainly I consecrate the silver to Yahweh from hand my for son my to make a carved image and a molten image and therefore I will return it to you.
4 Na, i tana whakahokinga i te moni ki tona whaea, ka tango tona whaea i nga pihi hiriwa e rua rau, a hoatu ana ki te kaiwhakarewa, a nana i hanga tetahi whakapakoko whaowhao me tetahi mea whakarewa; na ka takoto aua mea ki te whare o Mika.
And he brought back the silver to mother his and she took mother his two hundred silver and she gave it to the silversmith and he made it a carved image and a molten image and it was in [the] house of Micaiah.
5 Na he whare atua to taua tangata, to Mika, i hanga ano he epora e ia, me etahi terapimi, a i whakatohungatia hoki e ia tetahi o ana tama, a meinga ana hei tohunga mana.
And the man Micah [belonged] to him a house of God and he made an ephod and teraphim and he filled [the] hand of one from sons his and he became of him a priest.
6 I aua ra kahore o Iharaira kingi; ko ta ratou i mea ai ko nga mea i tika ki te titiro a tenei, a tenei.
In the days those there not [was] a king in Israel everyone the right in view his he did.
7 Na tera tetahi taitama o Peterehema Hura, o te hapu o Hura, he Riwaiti, a i reira ano ia e noho ana.
And he was a young man from Beth-lehem Judah from [the] tribe of Judah and he [was] a Levite and he [was] sojourning there.
8 Na ka haere atu taua tangata i te pa, i Peterehema Hura, kia noho ki tana wahi e kite ai: a, i a ia e haere ana, ka tae ia ki te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, ki te whare o Mika.
And he went the man from the city from Beth-lehem Judah to sojourn in where he will find and he came [the] hill country of Ephraim to [the] house of Micah to make journey his.
9 Na ka mea a Mika ki a ia, I haere mai koe i hea? A ka mea ia ki a ia, He Riwaiti ahau no Peterehema Hura, a e haere ana ahau kia noho ki taku wahi e kite ai.
And he said to him Micah from where? do you come and he said to him [am] a Levite I from Beth-lehem Judah and I [am] going to sojourn in where I will find.
10 Na ka mea a Mika ki a ia, E noho ki ahau, a hei matua koe moku, hei tohunga hoki, a kia tekau nga kiriwa e hoatu e ahau ki a koe i te tau, kia kotahi ano te whakaritenga kakahu, me te kai ano mau. Na ka tomo atu te Riwaiti.
And he said to him Micah remain! with me and become of me a father and a priest and I I will give to you ten silver to the days and an order of garments and sustenance your and he went the Levite.
11 A pai tonu te Riwaiti kia noho ki taua tangata; a ka meinga taua taitamariki e ia kia rite ki tetahi o ana tama.
And he was willing the Levite to dwell with the man and he was the young man to him like one from sons his.
12 Na whakatohungatia ana e Mika taua Riwaiti, a ka waiho taua taitama hei tohunga mana, a noho ana i roto i te whare o Mika.
And he filled Micah [the] hand of the Levite and he became of him the young man a priest and he was in [the] house of Micah.
13 Na ka mea a Mika, Katahi ahau ka mohio ka atawhaitia ahau e Ihowa, ina hoki ka riro mai nei te Riwaiti hei tohunga moku.
And he said Micah now I know that he will do good Yahweh to me for he has become of me the Levite a priest.
