Waamuzi 17
1 Palikuwa na mtu aliyeitwa Mika ambaye aliishi katika vilima vya Efraimu.
and to be man from mountain: hill country Ephraim and name his Micah
2 Akamwambia mama yake, “Zile shekeli 1,100 za fedha zilizochukuliwa kwako, ambazo nilisikia ukizinenea maneno ya laana, hizi hapa; mimi ndiye niliyezichukua, lakini sasa ninakurudishia.” Ndipo mama yake akamwambia, “Bwana na akubariki, mwanangu.”
and to say to/for mother his thousand and hundred [the] silver: money which to take: take to/for you (and you(f. s.) *Q(K)*) to swear and also to say in/on/with ear: to ears my behold [the] silver: money with me I to take: take him and to say mother his to bless son: child my to/for LORD
3 Alipozirudisha zile shekeli 1,100 za fedha kwa mama yake, mama yake akamwambia, “Mimi nimeiweka fedha hii wakfu kwa Bwana kwa ajili ya mwanangu kutengenezea kinyago cha kuchonga na sanamu ya kusubu. Mimi nitakurudishia wewe.”
and to return: rescue [obj] thousand and hundred [the] silver: money to/for mother his and to say mother his to consecrate: dedicate to consecrate: dedicate [obj] [the] silver: money to/for LORD from hand my to/for son: child my to/for to make idol and liquid and now to return: rescue him to/for you
4 Hivyo akamrudishia mama yake ile fedha, naye mama yake akachukua shekeli mia mbili za hiyo fedha na kumpa mfua fedha, ambaye aliifanyiza kinyago na sanamu. Navyo vikawekwa ndani ya nyumba ya Mika.
and to return: rescue [obj] [the] silver: money to/for mother his and to take: take mother his hundred silver: money and to give: give him to/for to refine and to make him idol and liquid and to be in/on/with house: home Micah
5 Basi Mika alikuwa na mahali pa kuabudia miungu, akatengeneza naivera, pamoja na vinyago, na kumweka mmoja wa wanawe kuwa kuhani wake.
and [the] man Micah to/for him house: temple God and to make ephod and teraphim and to fill [obj] hand: donate one from son: child his and to be to/for him to/for priest
6 Katika siku hizo Israeli hawakuwa na mfalme, kila mmoja akafanya kama alivyoona vyema machoni pake mwenyewe.
in/on/with day [the] they(masc.) nothing king in/on/with Israel man: anyone [the] upright in/on/with eye his to make: do
7 Basi palikuwa na kijana mmoja wa Bethlehemu ya Yuda. Yeye alikuwa Mlawi aliyeishi miongoni mwa kabila la Yuda.
and to be youth from Bethlehem Bethlehem Judah from family Judah and he/she/it Levi and he/she/it to sojourn there
8 Huyu kijana akatoka katika mji huo wa Bethlehemu ya Yuda na kutafuta mahali pengine ambapo angeweza kuishi. Alipokuwa akisafiri, akafika nyumbani kwa Mika katika vilima vya Efraimu.
and to go: went [the] man from [the] city from Bethlehem Bethlehem Judah to/for to sojourn in/on/with in which to find and to come (in): come mountain: hill country Ephraim till house: home Micah to/for to make: [do] way: journey his
9 Mika akamuuliza, “Wewe umetoka wapi?” Akamjibu, “Mimi ni Mlawi kutoka Bethlehemu ya Yuda, ninatafuta mahali pa kuishi.”
and to say to/for him Micah from where? to come (in): come and to say to(wards) him Levi I from Bethlehem Bethlehem Judah and I to go: went to/for to sojourn in/on/with in which to find
10 Ndipo Mika akamwambia, “Ishi pamoja nami, uwe baba yangu na kuhani wangu, nami nitakupa shekeli kumi za fedha, nguo na chakula.”
and to say to/for him Micah to dwell [emph?] with me me and to be to/for me to/for father and to/for priest and I to give: give to/for you ten silver: money to/for day: year and valuation garment and recovery your and to go: went [the] Levi
11 Hivyo yule Mlawi akakubali kuishi pamoja naye, naye huyo kijana akawa kwake kama mmoja wa wanawe.
and be willing [the] Levi to/for to dwell with [the] man and to be [the] youth to/for him like/as one from son: child his
12 Hivyo Mika akamweka wakfu huyo kijana Mlawi, naye huyo akawa kuhani wake na kuishi nyumbani mwake.
and to fill Micah [obj] hand: donate [the] Levi and to be to/for him [the] youth to/for priest and to be in/on/with house: home Micah
13 Ndipo Mika akasema, “Sasa najua Bwana atanitendea mema, kwa kuwa Mlawi huyu amekuwa kuhani wangu.”
and to say Micah now to know for be good LORD to/for me for to be to/for me [the] Levi to/for priest
