Sudije 17
1 A bijaše jedan èovjek iz gore Jefremove po imenu Miha.
And there was a man of the hill country of 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 unto his mother—The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken by thee, when, thou, didst utter a curse, and didst also say in my hearing, Lo! the silver, is with me! I took it. Then said his mother, Blessed, be my son by Yahweh.
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, when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said—I had, hallowed, the silver unto Yahweh out of mine own hand, for my son, to make a graved (molten) image, now, therefore, I will restore it unto 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.
But he restored the silver to his mother, —so his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave it to the silversmith, who made thereof a graved (molten) image, and it was 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.
Now, the man Micah, had a house of gods, —and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and installed 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, 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 out of Bethlehem-judah, of the family of Judah, —he, being a Levite, and, he, being a sojourner 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.
So the man took his journey out of the city, out of Bethlehem-judah, to sojourn, wheresoever he could find [a home], —and he came into the hill country of Ephraim, as far as the house of Micah, in pursuing his journey.
9 A Miha mu reèe: otkuda ideš? Odgovori mu Levit: iz Vitlejema Judina, idem da se nastanim gdje mogu.
And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him—A Levite, am I, from Bethlehem-judah, and, I, am taking my journey to sojourn, wheresoever I can find [a home].
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 unto 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 suit of apparel, and thy sustenance. So the Levite went.
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 became 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 installed the Levite, and the young man became his priest, —and remained 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 Yahweh will do me good, —seeing I have a Levite as my priest.
