Sodniki 17
1 Tam je bil mož z gore Efrájim, katerega ime je bilo Miha.
There was a man in the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Micah.
2 Ta je rekel svoji materi: »Tisoč sto šeklov srebra, ki so bili vzeti od tebe, glede katerih si preklinjala in glede katerih si govorila tudi v moja ušesa, glej, srebro je z menoj. Jaz sem ga vzel.« Njegova mati je rekla: »Blagoslovljen bodi od Gospoda, moj sin.«
He said to his mother, “The 1,100 pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you spoke a curse, and which I heard—look here! I have the silver with me. I stole it.” His mother said, “May Yahweh bless you, my son!”
3 Ko je svoji materi povrnil tisoč sto šeklov srebra, je njegova mati rekla: »Srebro sem v celoti posvetila Gospodu, od svoje roke za svojega sina, da se naredi rezana podoba in ulita podoba. Sedaj ti ga bom torej povrnila.«
He restored the 1,100 pieces of silver to his mother and his mother said, “I set apart this silver to Yahweh, for my son to make carved and cast metal figures. So now, I restore it to you.”
4 Vendar je denar vrnil svoji materi in njegova mati je vzela dvesto šeklov srebra in jih dala livarju, ki je iz njih naredil rezano podobo in ulito podobo in bili sta v Mihovi hiši.
When he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to a metal worker who made them into carved and cast metal figures, and they were placed in the house of Micah.
5 Mož Miha je imel hišo bogov in naredil efód in družinskega malika in uméstil enega izmed svojih sinov, ki je postal njegov duhovnik.
The man Micah had a house of idols and he made an ephod and household gods, and he hired one of his sons to become his priest.
6 V tistih dneh ni bilo kralja v Izraelu, temveč je vsak človek počel to, kar je bilo pravilno v njegovih lastnih očeh.
In those days there was no king in Israel, and everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
7 Tam je bil mladenič iz Judovega Betlehema, iz Judove družine, ki je bil Lévijevec in se je mudil tam.
Now there was a young man of Bethlehem in Judah, of the clan of Judah, who was a Levite. He stayed there to fulfill his duties.
8 Človek je odrinil iz mesta, iz Judovega Betlehema, da začasno prebiva, kjer bi lahko našel prostor in ko je potoval, je prišel do gore Efrájim, k Mihovi hiši.
The man left Bethlehem in Judah to go and find a place to live. As he journeyed, he came to Micah's house in the hill country of Ephraim.
9 Miha mu je rekel: »Od kod prihajaš?« Odgovoril mu je: »Jaz sem Lévijevec iz Judovega Betlehema in grem, da začasno prebivam tam, kjer bom lahko našel prostor.«
Micah said to him, “Where do you come from?” The man said to him, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem in Judah, and I am traveling to find a place where I might live.”
10 Miha mu je rekel: »Prebivaj z menoj in bodi mi oče in duhovnik, jaz pa ti bom ob letu dajal deset šeklov srebra in opremo oblačila in živež.« Tako je Lévijevec vstopil.
Micah said to him, “Stay with me, and be to me a father and a priest. I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, a suit of clothes, and your food.” So the Levite went into his house.
11 Lévijevec je bil zadovoljen, da prebiva z možem in mladenič mu je bil kakor eden izmed njegovih sinov.
The Levite was content to live with the man, and the young man became to Micah like one of his sons.
12 Miha je uméstil Lévijevca in mladenič je postal njegov duhovnik in bil je v Mihovi hiši.
Micah set apart the Levite for sacred duties, and the young man became his priest, and was in Micah's house.
13 Potem je Miha rekel: »Sedaj vem, da mi bo Gospod storil dobro, glede na to, da imam Lévijevca za svojega duhovnika.«
Then Micah said, “Now I know that Yahweh will do good for me, because this Levite has become my priest.”
