Книга Судей израилевых 17
1 И бысть муж от горы Ефремли, и имя ему Миха:
And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
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 shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou didst curse, and spoke of also in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my son.
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 when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore 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.
Yet he restored the money to his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the silversmith, who made of it a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
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 man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
6 В тыя же дни не бяше царя во Израили: кийждо муж, еже право видяшеся пред очима его, творяше.
In those days there was no king in Israel, but 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 out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned 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 out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
9 И рече ему Миха: откуду идеши? И рече ему левитин: аз есмь от Вифлеема Иудина, и иду обитати, идеже обрящу место.
And Micah said to him, Where do you come from? And he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
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 Micah said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy sustenance. So the Levite went in.
11 И пойде левит, и нача обитати у мужа. И бысть юноша ему яко един от сынов его.
And the Levite was content 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 Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
13 И рече Миха: ныне уведех, яко благосотворит мне Господь, яко бысть мне левитин жрец.
Then said Micah, Now I know that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite for my priest.
