< Judges 17 >

1 There was a man named Micah who lived in the hilly area where the tribe of Ephraim live.
Efraimning taghlirida Mikah isimlik bir kishi bar idi.
2 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].”
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.
3 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].”
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.
4 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.
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.
5 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.
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.
6 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.
Shu künlerde Israilda héch padishah bolmidi; herkim öz neziride yaxshi körün’genni qilatti.
7 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.
Yehuda jemetining tewesidiki Beyt-Lehemde Lawiy qebilisidin bolghan bir yigit bar idi; u shu yerde musapir bolup turup qalghanidi.
8 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.
Bu yigit bir jay tépip turay dep, Yehudalarning yurtidiki Beyt-Lehem shehiridin chiqti. U seper qilip, Efraim taghliqigha, Mikahning öyige kélip chüshti.
9 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].”
Mikah uningdin: — Qeyerdin kelding, dep soriwidi, u uninggha jawaben: — Men Yehudalarning yurtidiki Beyt-Lehemlik bir Lawiymen, bir jay tépip turay dep chiqtim, — dédi.
10 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.”
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.
11 So the young man agreed to live with Micah. He became like one of Micah’s own sons.
Lawiy u kishi bilen turushqa razi boldi; yigit shu kishige öz oghulliridin biridek bolup qaldi.
12 Micah appointed him to be a priest, and he lived in Micah’s house.
Andin Mikah bu Lawiy kishini [kahinliqqa] mexsus teyinlidi. Shuning bilen [Lawiy] yigit uninggha kahin bolup, Mikahning öyide turup qaldi.
13 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.”
Andin Mikah: — Bir Lawiy kishi manga kahin bolghini üchün, Perwerdigarning manga yaxshiliq qilidighinini bilimen, — dédi.
