1 Efraimning taghlirida Mikah isimlik bir kishi bar idi.
There was a man named Micah who lived in the hilly area where the tribe of Ephraim live.
2 U anisigha: — Séning héliqi bir ming bir yüz kümüsh tenggeng oghrilap kétilgenidi; sen tenggilerni qarghiding we buni manga dep berding. Mana, kümüsh mende, uni men alghandim, déwidi, anisi: — Ey oghlum, Perwerdigar séni beriketligey!, — dédi.
One day he said to his mother, “I heard you curse whoever stole (1,100 pieces/28 pounds/13 kg.) of silver from your house. I am the one who took the silver, and I still have it.” His mother replied, “My son, I pray that Yahweh will bless you [for admitting that you took it].”
3 Mikah bu bir ming bir yüz kümüsh tenggini anisigha yandurup berdi. Anisi: — Men eslide bu pulni sen oghlumni dep Perwerdigargha béghishlap, uning bilen oyma but we quyma but yasashqa atiwetkenidim; emdi yenila sanga bérey, dédi.
Micah gave all the silver back to his mother. Then she said [to herself], “I will give [some of] this silver to Yahweh.” And she said to her son, “My son, I want you to make an idol and a statue [from this silver]. So I will give [some of] this silver back to you [for making these things].”
4 Lékin Mikah kümüshni anisigha qayturup berdi; anisi uningdin ikki yüz kümüsh tenggini élip bir zergerge bérip, bir oyma but bilen bir quyma but yasatti; ular Mikahning öyige qoyup qoyuldi.
So when he gave all the silver to his mother, she took (200 pieces/about 5 pounds/1.6 kg.) of it to a (silversmith/man who made things from silver). With the silver that man made an idol and a statue, [and gave them to Micah]. Micah put them in his house.
5 Mikah dégen bu kishi eslide bir butxana peyda qilghan, shuningdek özige bir efod bilen birnechche «terafim»ni yasighanidi; andin öz oghulliridin birini kahinliqqa mexsus teyinlep, uni özige kahin qildi.
He had in his house a special (shrine/place for putting sacred things). He made a sacred vest and some small idols [and put them in this shrine along with the big idol and the statue]. Then Micah chose one of his sons to become his priest.
6 Shu künlerde Israilda héch padishah bolmidi; herkim öz neziride yaxshi körün’genni qilatti.
At that time, the Israeli people did not have a king. So [Micah and everyone else] did whatever they considered to be the right thing to do.
7 Yehuda jemetining tewesidiki Beyt-Lehemde Lawiy qebilisidin bolghan bir yigit bar idi; u shu yerde musapir bolup turup qalghanidi.
There was a young man who had been living in Bethlehem in the area where the tribe of Judah lives. He [wanted to work as a priest because he] was a member of the tribe of Levi.
8 Bu yigit bir jay tépip turay dep, Yehudalarning yurtidiki Beyt-Lehem shehiridin chiqti. U seper qilip, Efraim taghliqigha, Mikahning öyige kélip chüshti.
So he left Bethlehem to find another place to live [and work]. He came to Micah’s house in the hilly area where the tribe of Ephraim live.
9 Mikah uningdin: — Qeyerdin kelding, dep soriwidi, u uninggha jawaben: — Men Yehudalarning yurtidiki Beyt-Lehemlik bir Lawiymen, bir jay tépip turay dep chiqtim, — dédi.
Micah asked him, “Where are you from?” He replied, “I come from Bethlehem. I am from the tribe of Levi, and I am looking for a place to live [and work as a priest].”
10 Mikah uninggha: — Undaq bolsa men bilen turup, manga hem ata hem kahin bolup bergin; men sanga her yili on kümüsh tengge, bir yürüsh égin we kündilik yémek-ichmikingni bérey, — dédi. Buni anglap Lawiy kishi uningkige kirdi.
Micah said to him, “Stay with me, and you can become like a father [to counsel me], and be my priest. Each year I will give to you ten pieces of silver and some [new] clothes. And I will provide food for you.”
11 Lawiy u kishi bilen turushqa razi boldi; yigit shu kishige öz oghulliridin biridek bolup qaldi.
So the young man agreed to live with Micah. He became like one of Micah’s own sons.
12 Andin Mikah bu Lawiy kishini [kahinliqqa] mexsus teyinlidi. Shuning bilen [Lawiy] yigit uninggha kahin bolup, Mikahning öyide turup qaldi.
Micah appointed him to be a priest, and he lived in Micah’s house.
13 Andin Mikah: — Bir Lawiy kishi manga kahin bolghini üchün, Perwerdigarning manga yaxshiliq qilidighinini bilimen, — dédi.
Then Micah said, “Now I know that Yahweh will do good things for me, because I have a man from the tribe of Levi to be my priest.”
