< Judges 17 >

1 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
Adda ti maysa a lalaki idiay katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim, ken ti naganna ket Mica.
2 And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred silver-pieces that were taken from thee, and about which thou didst curse and speak of in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be my son of Jehovah!
Kinunana iti inana, “Dagiti 1, 100 a pidaso ti pirak a naala idi kenka, a nagsaoam iti lunod a nangngegko—adtoy kitaem! Adda kaniak ti pirak. Tinakawko daytoy.” Kinuna ti inana, “Bendisionannaka koma ni Yahweh, anakko!”
3 And he restored the eleven hundred silver-pieces to his mother; and his mother said, I had dedicated the silver to Jehovah from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image; and now I will restore it to thee.
Insublina ti 1, 100 a pidaso ti pirak iti inana ket kinuna ti inana, “Inlasinko daytoy a pirak para kenni Yahweh, a maipaay iti anakko a mangaramid iti ladawan a kayo a kinitikitan ken sinukog a landok a ladawan. Ita ngarud, isublik daytoy kenka.”
4 Now he restored the silver to his mother; and his mother took two hundred silver-pieces and gave them to the founder, and he made of them a graven image and a molten image; and they were in the house of Micah.
Idi insublina ti kuarta iti inana, nangala ti inana iti dua gasut a pidaso ti pirak ket intedna dagitoy iti agpanpanday a nangaramid kadagitoy iti ladawan a kayo a kinitikitan ken sinukog a landok a ladawan. Naikabil daytoy iti balay ni Mica.
5 And the man Micah had a house of gods, and made an ephod and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
Ti lalaki a ni Mica ket addaan iti maysa a balay dagiti didiosen ken nangaramid isuna iti maysa nga efod ken didiosen iti bumalay, ket indatonna ti maysa kadagiti putotna a lallaki nga agbalin a padina.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.
Awan ti ari iti Israel kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, ket inaramid idi iti tunggal maysa ti pagarupda nga umno kadagiti bukodna a panagkita.
7 And there was a young man out of Bethlehem-Judah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
Ita, adda ti maysa nga agtutubo iti Betlehem idiay Juda, iti pamilia ni Juda, a maysa a Levita. Nagnaed isuna idiay tapno tungpalenna ti pagrebbenganna.
8 And the man departed from the city, from Bethlehem-Judah, to sojourn where he might find [a place]. And as he journeyed, he came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah.
Pinanawan ti lalaki ti Betlehem idiay Juda tapno mapan agsapul iti lugar a pagnaedanna. Kabayatan iti panagdaliasatna, dimteng isuna iti balay ni Mica idiay katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim.
9 And Micah said to him, Whence comest thou? And he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethlehem-Judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find [a place].
Kinuna ni Mica kenkuana, “Sadino ti nagappuam?” Kinuna ti lalaki kenkuana, “Maysaak a Levita iti Betlehem idiay Juda, ket agdaldaliasatak tapno agsapul iti lugar a mabalin a pagnaedak.”
10 And Micah said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give thee yearly ten silver-pieces, and a suit of garments, and thy victuals. And the Levite went in.
Kinuna ni Mica kenkuana, “Makipagnaedka kaniak ket agbalinka a mammagbaga ken padik. Ikkanka iti sangapulo a pidaso ti pirak iti makatawen, kawes, ken taraonmo.” Napan ngarud ti Levita iti balayna.
11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
Napnek a nakipagnaed ti Levita iti lalaki, ket nagbalin ti agtutubo a kasla maysa kadagiti putot a lalaki ni Mica.
12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
Inlasin ni Mica ti Levita nga agpaay kadagiti nasantoan a pagrebbengan, ket nagbalin a padina ti agtutubo, ket adda isuna iti balay ni Mica.
13 Then said Micah, Now I know that Jehovah will do me good, because I have the Levite for priest.
Ket kinuna ni Mica, “Ita ammok nga agaramid ni Yahweh iti naimbag kaniak, gapu ta nagbalin a padik daytoy a Levita.”
