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.

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 Zvino murume uyu Mika, akanga ane imba yavamwari, uye akaita efodhi nezvimwe zvifananidzo uye akagadza mumwe wavanakomana vake kuti ave muprista wake.
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 Mumazuva iwayo Israeri yakanga isina mambo; mumwe nomumwe akaita zvaaiona zvakamunakira.
In the days those there not [was] a king in Israel everyone the right in view his he did.
7 Zvino kwakanga kune jaya muRevhi aibva kuBheterehema muJudha, aigara mukati morudzi rwaJudha,
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.

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 Mika akamubvunza akati, “Unobvepiko?” Iye akati, “Ndiri muRevhi anobva kuBheterehema muJudha, uye ndiri kutsvaka nzvimbo yokugara.”
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 Ipapo Mika akati kwaari, “Gara hako neni ugova baba vangu nomuprista wangu, uye ndichakupa mashekeri esirivha gumi pagore, nguo dzako dzokupfeka uye nezvokudya zvako.”
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 Saka muRevhi akabvuma kugara naye, uye jaya iri rakanga rakaita somumwe wavanakomana vake.
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 Ipapo Mika akagadza muRevhi, jaya rikava muprista wake akagara mumba make.
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 Uye Mika akati, “Zvino ndinoziva kuti Jehovha achandiitira zvakanaka, sezvo muRevhi uyu ava muprista wangu.”
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.
