Sudije 17
1 A bijaše jedan èovjek iz gore Jefremove po imenu Miha.
And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
2 On reèe materi svojoj: tisuæa i sto srebrnika, što su ti ukradeni, za koje si klela i govorila preda mnom, evo, to je srebro u mene, ja sam ga uzeo. A mati mu reèe: Gospod da te blagoslovi, sine!
And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred silver-pieces that were taken from thee, and about which thou didst curse and speak of in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be my son of Jehovah!
3 A kad vrati tisuæu i sto srebrnika materi svojoj, reèe mati njegova: to sam srebro posvetila Gospodu iz svoje ruke za tebe, sine moj, da se naèini od njega lik rezan i liven; zato ti ga sada dajem natrag.
And he restored the eleven hundred silver-pieces to his mother; and his mother said, I had dedicated the silver to Jehovah from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image; and now I will restore it to thee.
4 Ali on opet dade srebro materi svojoj, a mati uze dvjesta srebrnika i dade zlataru, a on naèini od njega lik rezan i liven, te bijaše u kuæi Mišinoj.
Now he restored the silver to his mother; and his mother took two hundred silver-pieces and gave them to the founder, and he made of them a graven image and a molten image; and they were in the house of Micah.
5 I taj Miha imaše kuæu za bogove, i naèini opleæak i likove, i posveti jednoga izmeðu sinova svojih da mu bude sveštenik.
And the man Micah had a house of gods, and made an ephod and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
6 U to vrijeme ne bješe cara u Izrailju: svaki èinjaše što mu bijaše drago.
In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.
7 A bješe jedan mladiæ iz Vitlejema Judina, od porodice Judine, koji bješe Levit i ondje boravljaše.
And there was a young man out of Bethlehem-Judah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
8 On otide iz toga grada, Vitlejema Judina, da se nastani gdje može; i iduæi svojim putem doðe u goru Jefremovu do kuæe Mišine.
And the man departed from the city, from Bethlehem-Judah, to sojourn where he might find [a place]. And as he journeyed, he came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah.
9 A Miha mu reèe: otkuda ideš? Odgovori mu Levit: iz Vitlejema Judina, idem da se nastanim gdje mogu.
And Micah said to him, Whence comest thou? And he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethlehem-Judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find [a place].
10 A Miha mu reèe: ostani kod mene, i budi mi otac i sveštenik, a ja æu ti dati deset srebrnika na godinu i dvoje haljine i hranu. I otide Levit k njemu.
And Micah said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give thee yearly ten silver-pieces, and a suit of garments, and thy victuals. And the Levite went in.
11 I Levitu bi po volji da ostane kod njega, i bi mu taj mladiæ kao da mu je sin.
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
12 I Miha posveti Levita da mu je sveštenik taj mladiæ, i osta u kuæi Mišinoj.
And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
13 Tada reèe Miha: sada znam da æe mi Gospod uèiniti dobro zato što imam Levita sveštenika.
Then said Micah, Now I know that Jehovah will do me good, because I have the Levite for priest.
