Sudije 17
1 A bijaše jedan èovjek iz gore Jefremove po imenu Miha.
And there was a man of mount Ephraim, and his name was Michaias.
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 pieces of silver which you took of yourself, and [about which] you cursed me, and spoke in my ears, behold, the silver [is] with me; I took it: and his mother said, Blessed [be] my son of the Lord.
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 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 you.
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.
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 I taj Miha imaše kuæu za bogove, i naèini opleæak i likove, i posveti jednoga izmeðu sinova svojih da mu bude sveštenik.
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 U to vrijeme ne bješe cara u Izrailju: svaki èinjaše što mu bijaše drago.
And in those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which 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 in Bethleem of the tribe of Juda, and he [was] a Levite, and he was sojourning 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 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 A Miha mu reèe: otkuda ideš? Odgovori mu Levit: iz Vitlejema Judina, idem da se nastanim gdje mogu.
And Michaias said to him, Whence come you? and he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethleem Juda, and I go to sojourn in any place I may find.
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 Michaias said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest; and I will give you ten pieces of silver by the year, and a change of raiment, and your living.
11 I Levitu bi po volji da ostane kod njega, i bi mu taj mladiæ kao da mu je sin.
And the Levite went and began 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 Michaias consecrated the Levite, and he became to him a priest, and he was in the house of Michaias.
13 Tada reèe Miha: sada znam da æe mi Gospod uèiniti dobro zato što imam Levita sveštenika.
And Michaias said, Now I know that the Lord will do me good, because a Levite has become my priest.
