士师记 17
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1以法莲 山地有一个人名叫 米迦 。
1Now a man named Micah from the hill country of Ephraim
2他对母亲说：「你那一千一百 舍客勒 银子被人拿去，你因此咒诅，并且告诉了我。看哪，这银子在我这里，是我拿去了。」他母亲说：「我儿啊，愿耶和华赐福与你！」
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!”
3米迦 就把这一千一百 舍客勒 银子还他母亲。他母亲说：「我分出这银子来为你献给耶和华，好雕刻一个像，铸成一个像。现在我还是交给你。」
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.”
4米迦 将银子还他母亲，他母亲将二百 舍客勒 银子交给银匠，雕刻一个像，铸成一个像，安置在 米迦 的屋内。
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.
5这 米迦 有了神堂，又制造以弗得和家中的神像，分派他一个儿子作祭司。
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.
6那时 以色列 中没有王，各人任意而行。
6In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
7犹大 的 伯利恒 有一个少年人，是 犹大 族的 利未 人，他在那里寄居。
7And there was a young Levite from Bethlehem in Judah who had been residing within the clan of Judah.
8这人离开 犹大 的 伯利恒 城，要找一个可住的 地方 。行路的时候，到了 以法莲 山地，走到 米迦 的家。
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.
9米迦 问他说：「你从哪里来？」他回答说：「从 犹大 的 伯利恒 来。我是 利未 人，要找一个可住的 地方 。」
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.”
10米迦 说：「你可以住在我这里，我以你为父、为祭司。我每年给你十 舍客勒 银子，一套衣服和度日的食物。」 利未 人就进了他的家。
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
11利未 人情愿与那人同住；那人看这少年人如自己的儿子一样。
11and agreed to stay with him, and the young man became like a son to Micah.
12米迦 分派这少年的 利未 人作祭司，他就住在 米迦 的家里。
12Micah ordained the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in his house.
13米迦 说：「现在我知道耶和华必赐福与我，因我有一个 利未 人作祭司。」
13Then Micah said, “Now I know that the LORD will be good to me, because a Levite has become my priest.”
