Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1以法蓮 山地有一個人名叫 米迦 。
1Now a man named Micah from the hill country of Ephraim
2他對母親說：「你那一千一百 舍客勒 銀子被人拿去，你因此咒詛，並且告訴了我。看哪，這銀子在我這裏，是我拿去了。」他母親說：「我兒啊，願耶和華賜福與你！」
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 就把這一千一百 舍客勒 銀子還他母親。他母親說：「我分出這銀子來為你獻給耶和華，好雕刻一個像，鑄成一個像。現在我還是交給你。」
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 將銀子還他母親，他母親將二百 舍客勒 銀子交給銀匠，雕刻一個像，鑄成一個像，安置在 米迦 的屋內。
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這 米迦 有了神堂，又製造以弗得和家中的神像，分派他一個兒子作祭司。
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那時 以色列 中沒有王，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猶大 的 伯利恆 有一個少年人，是 猶大 族的 利未 人，他在那裏寄居。
7And there was a young Levite from Bethlehem in Judah who had been residing within the clan of Judah.
8這人離開 猶大 的 伯利恆 城，要找一個可住的 地方 。行路的時候，到了 以法蓮 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 問他說：「你從哪裏來？」他回答說：「從 猶大 的 伯利恆 來。我是 利未 人，要找一個可住的 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 說：「你可以住在我這裏，我以你為父、為祭司。我每年給你十 舍客勒 銀子，一套衣服和度日的食物。」 利未 人就進了他的家。
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 人情願與那人同住；那人看這少年人如自己的兒子一樣。
11and agreed to stay with him, and the young man became like a son to Micah.
12米迦 分派這少年的 利未 人作祭司，他就住在 米迦 的家裏。
12Micah ordained the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in his house.
13米迦 說：「現在我知道耶和華必賜福與我，因我有一個 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.”
