士師記 17
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1以法蓮 山地有一個人名叫 米迦 。
1There was at that time a man of mount Ephraim whose name was Michas,
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！」
2Who said to his mother: The eleven hundred pieces of silver, which thou hadst put aside for thyself, and concerning which thou didst swear in my hearing, behold I have, and they are with me. And she said to him: 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。」
3So he restored them to his mother, who said to him: I have consecrated and vowed this silver to the Lord, that my son may receive it at my hand, and make a graven and a molten god, so now I deliver it to thee.
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。
4And he restored them to his mother: and she took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to the silversmith, to make of them a graven and a molten god, which was in the house of Michas.
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。
5And he separated also therein a little temple for the god, and made an ephod, and theraphim, that is to say, a priestly garment, and idols: and he filled the hand of one of his sons, and he became 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, but every one did that which seemed right to himself.
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。
7There was also another young man of Bethlehem Juda, of the kindred thereof: and he was a Levite, and dwelt there.
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。
8Now he went out from the city of Bethlehem, and desired to sojourn wheresoever he should find it convenient for him. And when he was come to mount Ephraim, as he was on his journey, and had turned aside a little into the house of Michas,
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 。」
9He was asked by him whence he came. And he answered: I am a Levite of Bethlehem Juda, and I am going to dwell where I can, and where I shall find a place to my advantage.
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。
10And Michas said: Stay with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee every year ten pieces of silver, and a double suit of apparel, and thy victuals.
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。
11He was content, and abode with the man, and was unto him as one of his sons.
12米迦 分派這少年的 利未 人作祭司，他就住在 米迦 的家裏。
12And Michas filled his hand, and had the young man with him, for his priest, saying:
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。」
13Now I know God will do me good, since I have a priest of the race of the Levites.
