وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ ٱسْمُهُ مِيخَا. ١ 1
And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name [was] Micah.
فَقَالَ لِأُمِّهِ: «إِنَّ ٱلْأَلْفَ وَٱلْمِئَةَ شَاقِلِ ٱلْفِضَّةِ ٱلَّتِي أُخِذَتْ مِنْكِ، وَأَنْتِ لَعَنْتِ وَقُلْتِ أَيْضًا فِي أُذُنَيَّ. هُوَذَا ٱلْفِضَّةُ مَعِي. أَنَا أَخَذْتُهَا». فَقَالَتْ أُمُّهُ: «مُبَارَكٌ أَنْتَ مِنَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَا ٱبْنِي». ٢ 2
And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred [shekels] of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver [is] with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed [be thou] of the LORD, my son.
فَرَدَّ ٱلْأَلْفَ وَٱلْمِئَةَ شَاقِلِ ٱلْفِضَّةِ لِأُمِّهِ. فَقَالَتْ أُمُّهُ: «تَقْدِيسًا قَدَّسْتُ ٱلْفِضَّةَ لِلرَّبِّ مِنْ يَدِي لِٱبْنِي لِعَمَلِ تِمْثَالٍ مَنْحُوتٍ وَتِمْثَالٍ مَسْبُوكٍ. فَٱلْآنَ أَرُدُّهَا لَكَ». ٣ 3
And when he had restored the eleven hundred [shekels] of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee.
فَرَدَّ ٱلْفِضَّةَ لِأُمِّهِ، فَأَخَذَتْ أُمُّهُ مِئَتَيْ شَاقِلِ فِضَّةٍ وَأَعْطَتْهَا لِلصَّائِغِ فَعَمِلَهَا تِمْثَالًا مَنْحُوتًا وَتِمْثَالًا مَسْبُوكًا. وَكَانَا فِي بَيْتِ مِيخَا. ٤ 4
Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred [shekels] of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
وَكَانَ لِلرَّجُلِ مِيخَا بَيْتٌ لِلْآلِهَةِ، فَعَمِلَ أَفُودًا وَتَرَافِيمَ وَمَلَأَ يَدَ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ بَنِيهِ فَصَارَ لَهُ كَاهِنًا. ٥ 5
And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَلِكٌ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. كَانَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ يَعْمَلُ مَا يَحْسُنُ فِي عَيْنَيْهِ. ٦ 6
In those days [there was] no king in Israel, [but] every man did [that which was] right in his own eyes.
وَكَانَ غُلَامٌ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ يَهُوذَا، وَهُوَ لَاوِيٌّ مُتَغَرِّبٌ هُنَاكَ. ٧ 7
And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem-judah of the family of Judah, who [was] a Levite, and he sojourned there.
فَذَهَبَ ٱلرَّجُلُ مِنَ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا لِكَيْ يَتَغَرَّبَ حَيْثُمَا ٱتَّفَقَ. فَأَتَى إِلَى جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ إِلَى بَيْتِ مِيخَا وَهُوَ آخِذٌ فِي طَرِيقِهِ. ٨ 8
And the man departed out of the city from Beth-lehem-judah to sojourn where he could find [a place: ] and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
فَقَالَ لَهُ مِيخَا: «مِنْ أَيْنَ أَتَيْتَ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُ: «أَنَا لَاوِيٌّ مِنْ بَيْتِ لَحْمِ يَهُوذَا، وَأَنَا ذَاهِبٌ لِكَيْ أَتَغَرَّبَ حَيْثُمَا ٱتَّفَقَ». ٩ 9
And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I [am] a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find [a place].
فَقَالَ لَهُ مِيخَا: «أَقِمْ عِنْدِي وَكُنْ لِي أَبًا وَكَاهِنًا، وَأَنَا أُعْطِيكَ عَشَرَةَ شَوَاقِلِ فِضَّةٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ، وَحُلَّةَ ثِيَابٍ، وَقُوتَكَ». فَذَهَبَ مَعَهُ ٱللَّاوِيُّ. ١٠ 10
And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten [shekels] of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in.
فَرَضِيَ ٱللَّاوِيُّ بِٱلْإِقَامَةِ مَعَ ٱلرَّجُلِ، وَكَانَ ٱلْغُلَامُ لَهُ كَأَحَدِ بَنِيهِ. ١١ 11
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
فَمَلَأَ مِيخَا يَدَ ٱللَّاوِيِّ، وَكَانَ ٱلْغُلَامُ لَهُ كَاهِنًا، وَكَانَ فِي بَيْتِ مِيخَا. ١٢ 12
And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
فَقَالَ مِيخَا: «ٱلْآنَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ يُحْسِنُ إِلَيَّ، لِأَنَّهُ صَارَ لِيَ ٱللَّاوِيُّ كَاهِنًا». ١٣ 13
Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to [my] priest.
