Judges 17
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Now there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
1Sie pacl ah oasr sie mwet pangpang Micah su muta fineol uh in acn Ephraim.
2And he said unto his mother: 'The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou didst utter a curse, and didst also speak it in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it.' And his mother said: 'Blessed be my son of the LORD.'
2El fahk nu sin nina kial, “Ke mwet se pisrala sie tausin siofok ipin silver yurum ac, nga sifacna lohng ke kom tuh fahk kas in selnga lain mwet sac. Liye, pa inge mani sac. Nga pa srukak.” Na nina kial ah fahk, “Wen nutik, LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye kom.”
3And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother said: 'I verily dedicate the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image; now therefore I will restore it unto thee.'
3Na ke Micah el akola in folokunla mani sac nu sin nina kial ah, na nina sac fahk, “Inge nga sifacna kisakin silver inge nu sin LEUM GOD , tuh kas in selnga nga tuh fahk ah in tia putati nu fin wen nutik. Silver inge fah nokomla sie ma sruloala orek ke sak.”
4And when he restored the money unto his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image; and it was in the house of Micah.
4Na wen sac el folokonang ipin silver inge nu sin nina kial ah, ac nina sac eisla luofoko ipin silver ac sang nu sin sie mwet etu orekma ke silver, su taflela sie ma sruloala ke sie sak, ac sang silver in nokomla nufon, na utukla ma se inge nu in lohm sel Micah.
5And the man Micah had a house of God, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
5Oasr nien alu se lal Micah sifacna. El tuh orala kutu ma sruloala, oayapa sie nuknuk lun mwet tol pangpang ephod, na el sulela sie sin mukul natul ah in mwet tol lal.
6In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
6In pacl se inge wangin tokosra lun mwet Israel. Kais sie mwet sifacna oru ma el nunku mu suwohs ye mutal sifacna.
7And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem in Judah — in the family of Judah — who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
7In pacl sac pacna oasr sie mwet fusr ke sruf lal Levi su muta Bethlehem in acn Judah.
8And the man departed out of the city, out of Beth-lehem in Judah, to sojourn where he could find a place; and he came to the hill-country of Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
8El som liki acn Bethlehem in suk sie pac acn elan muta we, na el tuku ac sun lohm sel Micah su oan infulan eol uh in acn Ephraim.
9And Micah said unto him: 'Whence comest thou?' And he said unto him: 'I am a Levite of Beth-lehem in Judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.'
9Micah el siyuk sel, “Kom tuku ya me?” Na el topuk ac fahk, “Nga sie mwet Levi ac nga tuku liki Bethlehem in acn Judah. Nga suk sie acn tuh ngan muta we.”
10And Micah said unto him: 'Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten pieces of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals.' So the Levite went in.
10Na Micah el fahk nu sel, “Fahsru muta yuruk. Nga lungse kom in oana sie papa nu sik ac mwet tol luk, ac nga fah moli nu sum ke ipin silver singoul ke yac se, oayapa sot nuknuk lom ac kite kom.”
11And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
11Mwet fusr Levi sac el insese in muta yorol, ac Micah el oral oana in ma natul.
12And Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
12Micah el sang tuh elan orekma in mwet tol nu sel, ac el muta in lohm sel Micah.
13Then said Micah: 'Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite as my priest.'
13Ac Micah el fahk, “Inge nga etu lah LEUM GOD El ac akinsewowoyeyu mweyen mwet Levi se pa mwet tol luk uh.”
