1Now a man named Micah from the hill country of Ephraim
1A IA ma ka mauna o Eperaima he kanaka, o Mika kona inoa.
2said to his mother, “The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from you and about which I heard you utter a curse—I have the silver here with me; I took it.” Then his mother said, “Blessed be my son by the LORD!”
2I aku la ia i kona makuwahine, O kela mau apana kala, hookahi tausani, me ka haneri keu, i laweia, mai ou mai nei, ka mea au i kuamuamu ai, a i olelo mai ai hoi ma ko'u pepeiao, eia no ia'u ua kala la. Na'u no i lawe. I mai la kona makuwahine, E pomaikai ana oe ia Iehova, e kuu keiki.
3And when he had returned the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, she said, “I wholly dedicate the silver to the LORD for my son’s benefit, to make a graven image and a molten idol. Therefore I will now return it to you.”
3A hoihoi aku ia i ke tausani apana kala me ka haneri keu i kona makuwahine, alaila, olelo mai la kona makuwahine, Ua hoolaa loa aku au ia kala ia Iehova, mai ko'u lima aku, i mea na ka'u keiki, e hana aku ai i kii, a i kii hooheheeia; nolaila ea, e hoihoi aku au ia ia oe.
4So he returned the silver to his mother, and she took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to a silversmith, who made them into a graven image and a molten idol. And they were placed in the house of Micah.
4Aka, hoihoi hou ae la ia i ke kala i kona makuwahine. Lawe ae la kona makuwahine i elua haneri apana kala, a haawi aku la i ka mea hoohehee kala, nana no i hana i kii, a i kii hoi i hooheheeia. Aia no laua maloko o ka hale o Mika.
5Now this man Micah had a shrine, and he made an ephod and some household idols, and ordained one of his sons as his priest.
5He hale akua ko ua kanaka la o ko Mika, a hana iho la ia i epoda, a i terapima, a hoolaa ae la ia i kekahi o kana mau keikikane, a lilo ia i kahuna nona.
6In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
6Ia manawa, aole alii ma ka Iseraela. Hana no kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka mea i pono ma kona mau maka.
7And there was a young Levite from Bethlehem in Judah who had been residing within the clan of Judah.
7He kanaka opiopio, mailoko mai o Betelehemaiuda, no ka ohana a Iuda, he mamo na Levi, a noho no ia malaila.
8This man left the city of Bethlehem in Judah to settle where he could find a place. And as he traveled, he came to Micah’s house in the hill country of Ephraim.
8Hele aku la ua kanaka la, mai ke kulanakauhale o Betelehemaiuda aku, e noho ma kahi e loaa ai, a i kona hele ana, hiki ae la ia i ka mauna o Eperaima, i ka hale o Mika.
9“Where are you from?” Micah asked him. “I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah,” he replied, “and I am on my way to settle wherever I can find a place.”
9I mai la o Mika ia ia, Mai hea mai oe i hele mai ai? I aku la ia, He Levi au, no Betelehemaiuda mai, a ke hele nei au e noho ma kahi e loaa'i.
10“Stay with me,” Micah said to him, “and be my father and priest, and I will give you ten shekels of silver per year, a suit of clothes, and your provisions.” So the Levite went in
10I mai la o Mika ia ia, E noho pu oe me au, i lilo oe i makua no'u, a i kahuna hoi, a e haawi aku au ia oe i umi apana kala ma ka makahiki, a i pa lole komo elua, a i ka ai no hoi; nolaila, komo aku la ua Levi nei iloko.
11and agreed to stay with him, and the young man became like a son to Micah.
11Lealea ia Levi e noho pu me ua kanaka la, a ua like ia kanaka opiopio ia ia, me kekahi o kana mau keikikane.
12Micah ordained the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in his house.
12Hoolaa iho la o Mika i ka Levi, a lilo ua kanaka opiopio nei i kahuna nona, a noho iho la ma ka hale o Mika.
13Then Micah said, “Now I know that the LORD will be good to me, because a Levite has become my priest.”
13Alaila, i ae la o Mika, Ua ike au, e hoopomaikai ana o Iehova ia'u, no ka mea, he Levi no ko'u kahuna.
