Batur Ⱨakimlar 17
1 Əfraimning taƣlirida Mikaⱨ isimlik bir kixi bar idi.
There was a man named Micah who lived in the hilly area where the tribe of Ephraim live.
2 U anisiƣa: — Sening ⱨeliⱪi bir ming bir yüz kümüx tǝnggǝng oƣrilap ketilgǝnidi; sǝn tǝnggilǝrni ⱪarƣiding wǝ buni manga dǝp bǝrding. Mana, kümüx mǝndǝ, uni mǝn alƣandim, dewidi, anisi: — Əy oƣlum, Pǝrwǝrdigar seni bǝrikǝtligǝy!, — dedi.
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 Mikaⱨ bu bir ming bir yüz kümüx tǝnggini anisiƣa yandurup bǝrdi. Anisi: — Mǝn ǝslidǝ bu pulni sǝn oƣlumni dǝp Pǝrwǝrdigarƣa beƣixlap, uning bilǝn oyma but wǝ ⱪuyma but yasaxⱪa atiwǝtkǝnidim; ǝmdi yǝnila sanga berǝy, dedi.
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 Lekin Mikaⱨ kümüxni anisiƣa ⱪayturup bǝrdi; anisi uningdin ikki yüz kümüx tǝnggini elip bir zǝrgǝrgǝ berip, bir oyma but bilǝn bir ⱪuyma but yasatti; ular Mikaⱨning ɵyigǝ ⱪoyup ⱪoyuldi.
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 Mikaⱨ degǝn bu kixi ǝslidǝ bir buthana pǝyda ⱪilƣan, xuningdǝk ɵzigǝ bir ǝfod bilǝn birnǝqqǝ «tǝrafim»ni yasiƣanidi; andin ɵz oƣulliridin birini kaⱨinliⱪⱪa mǝhsus tǝyinlǝp, uni ɵzigǝ kaⱨin ⱪildi.
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 Xu künlǝrdǝ Israilda ⱨeq padixaⱨ bolmidi; ⱨǝrkim ɵz nǝziridǝ yahxi kɵrüngǝnni ⱪilatti.
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 Yǝⱨuda jǝmǝtining tǝwǝsidiki Bǝyt-Lǝⱨǝmdǝ Lawiy ⱪǝbilisidin bolƣan bir yigit bar idi; u xu yǝrdǝ musapir bolup turup ⱪalƣanidi.
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 tepip turay dǝp, Yǝⱨudalarning yurtidiki Bǝyt-Lǝⱨǝm xǝⱨiridin qiⱪti. U sǝpǝr ⱪilip, Əfraim taƣliⱪiƣa, Mikaⱨning ɵyigǝ kelip qüxti.
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 Mikaⱨ uningdin: — Ⱪǝyǝrdin kǝlding, dǝp soriwidi, u uningƣa jawabǝn: — Mǝn Yǝⱨudalarning yurtidiki Bǝyt-Lǝⱨǝmlik bir Lawiymǝn, bir jay tepip turay dǝp qiⱪtim, — dedi.
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 Mikaⱨ uningƣa: — Undaⱪ bolsa mǝn bilǝn turup, manga ⱨǝm ata ⱨǝm kaⱨin bolup bǝrgin; mǝn sanga ⱨǝr yili on kümüx tǝnggǝ, bir yürüx egin wǝ kündilik yemǝk-iqmikingni berǝy, — dedi. Buni anglap Lawiy kixi uningkigǝ 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 kixi bilǝn turuxⱪa razi boldi; yigit xu kixigǝ ɵz oƣulliridin biridǝk bolup ⱪaldi.
So the young man agreed to live with Micah. He became like one of Micah’s own sons.
12 Andin Mikaⱨ bu Lawiy kixini [kaⱨinliⱪⱪa] mǝhsus tǝyinlidi. Xuning bilǝn [Lawiy] yigit uningƣa kaⱨin bolup, Mikaⱨning ɵyidǝ turup ⱪaldi.
Micah appointed him to be a priest, and he lived in Micah’s house.
13 Andin Mikaⱨ: — Bir Lawiy kixi manga kaⱨin bolƣini üqün, Pǝrwǝrdigarning manga yahxiliⱪ ⱪilidiƣinini bilimǝn, — dedi.
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.”
