Книга Судей израилевых 17
1 И бысть муж от горы Ефремли, и имя ему Миха:
And there was a man of mount Ephraim, and his name was Michaias.
2 и рече матери своей: тысяща и сто сребреников иже украдены у тебе, и заклинала мя еси и глаголала еси во ушы мои: се, сребро у мене, аз взях е. И рече мати его: благословен сын мой Господеви.
And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred pieces of silver which thou tookest of thyself, and [about which] thou cursedst me, and spokest in my ears, behold, the silver [is] with me; I took it: and his mother said, Blessed [be] my son of the Lord.
3 И отдаде тысящу и сто сребреников матери своей. И рече мати его: освящающи освятих сребро Господеви от руки моея, тебе сынови моему сотворити (кумир) изваян и слиян, и ныне отдам е тебе.
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 thee.
4 И отдаде сребро матери своей. И взя мати его двести сребреников и даде их среброделю, и сотвори тое (кумир) изваян и слиян: и бысть в дому Михи.
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 И дом Михин ему дом Божий. И сотвори ефуд и ферафин: и наполни руку единому от сынов своих, и бысть ему жрец.
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 В тыя же дни не бяше царя во Израили: кийждо муж, еже право видяшеся пред очима его, творяше.
And in those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
7 И бысть юноша от Вифлеема Иудина и от рода племене Иудина, и сей левитин, и обиташе тамо:
And there was a young man in Bethleem of the tribe of Juda, and he [was] a Levite, and he was sojourning there.
8 и пойде сей муж от града Вифлеема Иудина обитати, идеже обрящет место: и прииде до горы Ефремли и даже до дому Михина, еже сотворити путь свой.
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 И рече ему Миха: откуду идеши? И рече ему левитин: аз есмь от Вифлеема Иудина, и иду обитати, идеже обрящу место.
And Michaias said to him, Whence comest thou? and he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethleem Juda, and I go to sojourn in any place I may find.
10 И рече ему Миха: седи со мною и буди ми отец и жрец, и аз дам тебе сребреников десять в год и двои ризы, и яже на житие тебе.
And Michaias said to 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 change of raiment, and thy living.
11 И пойде левит, и нача обитати у мужа. И бысть юноша ему яко един от сынов его.
And the Levite went and began to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
12 И наполни Миха руку левитину, и бысть ему юноша жрец, и бяше в дому Михи.
And Michaias consecrated the Levite, and he became to him a priest, and he was in the house of Michaias.
13 И рече Миха: ныне уведех, яко благосотворит мне Господь, яко бысть мне левитин жрец.
And Michaias said, Now I know that the Lord will do me good, because a Levite has become my priest.
