Xaakinnada 17

1 Oo waxaa jiray nin degganaa dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim; magiciisana waxaa la odhan jiray Miikaah.

And there is a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his name [is] Micah,

2 Oo isna wuxuu hooyadiis ku yidhi, Kun iyo boqolkii xabbadood oo lacagta ahaa ee lagaa qaaday, ee aad ku habaartamaysay ee aad igu dhego hadlaysay, lacagtii anigaa haya; oo anaa qaaday. Markaasay hooyadiis tidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, Rabbigu ha ku barakeeyo.

and he says to his mother, “The eleven hundred pieces of silver which have been taken of yours, and [of which] you have sworn, and also spoken in my ears; behold, the silver [is] with me, I have taken it”; and his mother says, “Blessed [is] my son of YHWH.”

3 Oo kun iyo boqolkii xabbadood oo lacagta ahaa ayuu u soo celiyey hooyadiis, markaasay hooyadiis tidhi, Sida runta ah waxaan lacagta u soocay Rabbiga, oo gacantaydaan ka bixiyey wiilkayga aawadiis in laga sameeyo sanam xardhan iyo sanam la shubay; taas aawadeed adigaan kuu soo celin doonaa.

And he gives back the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother says, “I had certainly sanctified the silver to YHWH, from my hand, for my son, to make a carved image, and a molten image; and now, I give it back to you.”

4 Oo markuu lacagtii hooyadiis u soo celiyey ayay hooyadiis qaadatay laba boqol oo xabbadood oo lacag ah, oo waxay u dhiibtay lacagtume, oo isna wuxuu ka sameeyey sanam xardhan iyo sanam la shubay; waxayna yaalleen gurigii Miikaah.

And he gives back the money to his mother, and his mother takes two hundred pieces of silver, and gives them to a refiner, and he makes them a carved image, and a molten image, and it is in the house of Micah.

5 Oo ninkii Miikaah ahaana wuxuu lahaa guri ilaahyood, oo wuxuu sameeyey eefod iyo teraafiim, oo wuxuuna quduus ka dhigay wiilashiisii midkood, oo isna wuxuu u noqday wadaadkiisii.

As for the man Micah, he has a house of gods, and he makes an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrates the hand of one of his sons, and he is for a priest to him;

6 Waagaasna reer binu Israa'iil boqor ma ay lahayn; oo nin walubana wuxuu samayn jiray wixii isaga la qumman.

in those days there is no king in Israel, each does that which is right in his own eyes.

7 Oo waxaa jiray nin dhallinyaro ahaa oo ka soo baxay Beytlaxam Yahuudah oo reer Yahuudah ahaa, ee qoladiisu ahayd reer Laawi, oo halkaasuu degganaan jiray.

And there is a young man of Beth-Lehem-Judah, of the family of Judah, and he [is] a Levite, and he [is] a sojourner there.

8 Markaasuu ninkii ka baxay magaaladii ahayd Beytlaxam Yahuudah, inuu dego meel uu heli karo; oo intuu socday ayuu yimid gurigii Miikaah oo ku yiil dalkii buuraha lahaa oo reer Efrayim.

And the man goes out of the city, out of Beth-Lehem-Judah, to sojourn where he finds, and comes to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, to work his way.

9 Markaasuu Miikaah ku yidhi isagii, Xaggee baad ka timid? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay reer Laawi, oo Beytlaxam Yahuudah ayaan ka imid, oo waxaan u socdaa inaan dego meel aan heli karo.

And Micah says to him, “Where do you come from?” And he says to him, “I [am] a Levite of Beth-Lehem-Judah, and I am going to sojourn where I find.”

10 Markaasuu Miikaah ku yidhi isagii, Aniga ila joog, oo ii noqo aabbe iyo wadaad, anna sannaddiiba waxaan ku siinayaa toban xabbadood oo lacag ah, iyo isku joog dhar ah, iyo cuntadaada. Sidaas daraaddeed kii reer Laawi guduhuu galay.

And Micah says to him, “Dwell with me, and be for a father and for a priest to me, and I give ten pieces of silver to you for the days, and a suit of garments, and your sustenance”; and the Levite goes [in].

11 Oo kii reer Laawina raalli buu ka ahaa inuu ninkii la joogo; oo ninkii dhallinyarada ahaana wuxuu Miikaah u ahaa sida wiilashiisa midkood oo kale.

And the Levite is willing to dwell with the man, and the young man is to him as one of his sons.

12 Markaasuu Miikaah quduus ka dhigay kii reer Laawi, oo ninkii dhallinyarada ahaana wuxuu Miikaah u noqday wadaadkiisii, oo gurigii Miikaah ayuu joogay.

And Micah consecrates the hand of the Levite, and the young man is for a priest to him, and he is in the house of Micah,

13 Markaasuu Miikaah yidhi, Haatan waan ogsoo nahay in Rabbigu wanaag ii samaynayo, maxaa yeelay, waxaa wadaad ii noqday nin reer Laawi ah.

and Micah says, “Now I have known that YHWH does good to me, for the Levite has been for a priest to me.”
