1And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἀνὴρ ἀπὸ ὄρους Ἐφραίμ, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Μιχαίας.
2And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the LORD , my son.
2καὶ εἶπε τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ· οἱ χίλιοι καὶ ἑκατόν, οὓς ἔλαβες ἀργυρίου σεαυτῇ καί με ἠράσω καὶ προσεῖπας ἐν ὠσί μου, ἰδοὺ τὸ ἀργύριον παρ᾿ ἐμοί, ἐγὼ ἔλαβον αὐτό. καὶ εἶπεν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ· εὐλογητὸς ὁ υἱός μου τῷ Κυρίῳ.
3And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated 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.
3καὶ ἀπέδωκε τοὺς χιλίους καὶ ἑκατὸν τοῦ ἀργυρίου τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ· καὶ εἶπεν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ· ἁγιάζουσα ἡγίασα τὸ ἀργύριον τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐκ τῆς χειρός μου τῷ υἱῷ μου τοῦ ποιῆσαι γλυπτὸν καὶ χωνευτόν, καὶ νῦν ἀποδώσω αὐτό σοι.
4Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
4καὶ ἀπέδωκε τὸ ἀργύριον τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἔλαβεν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ διακοσίους ἀργυρίου καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὸ ἀργυροκόπῳ, καὶ ἐποίησεν αὐτὸ γλυπτὸν καὶ χωνευτόν· καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐν οἴκῳ Μιχαία.
5And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
5καὶ ὁ οἶκος Μιχαία, αὐτῷ οἶκος Θεοῦ· καὶ ἐποίησεν ἐφὼδ καὶ θεραφὶν καὶ ἐπλήρωσε τὴν χεῖρα ἀπὸ ἑνὸς υἱῶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ εἰς ἱερέα.
6In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
6ἐν δὲ ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις οὐκ ἦν βασιλεὺς ἐν Ἰσραήλ· ἀνὴρ τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ ἐποίει.
7¶ And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem-judah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
7Καὶ ἐγενήθη νεανίας ἐκ Βηθλεὲμ δήμου Ἰούδα, καὶ αὐτὸς Λευίτης, καὶ οὗτος παρῴκει ἐκεῖ.
8And the man departed out of the city from Beth-lehem-judah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
8καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ ἀνὴρ ἀπὸ Βηθλεὲμ τῆς πόλεως Ἰούδα παροικῆσαι ἐν ᾧ ἐὰν εὕρῃ τόπῳ, καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως ὄρους Ἐφραὶμ καὶ ἕως οἴκου Μιχαία τοῦ ποιῆσαι ὁδὸν αὐτοῦ.
9And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place .
9καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Μιχαίας· πόθεν ἔρχῃ; καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· Λευίτης εἰμὶ ἐκ Βηθλεὲμ Ἰούδα, καὶ ἐγὼ πορεύομαι παροικῆσαι ἐν ᾧ ἐὰν εὕρω τόπῳ.
10And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in.
10καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Μιχαίας· κάθου μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ καὶ γίνου μοι εἰς πατέρα καὶ εἰς ἱερέα, καὶ ἐγὼ δώσω σοι δέκα ἀργυρίου εἰς ἡμέραν καὶ στολὴν ἱματίων καὶ τὰ πρὸς ζωήν σου.
11And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
11καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ Λευίτης καὶ ἤρξατο παροικεῖν παρὰ τῷ ἀνδρί, καὶ ἐγενήθη ὁ νεανίας αὐτῷ ὡς εἷς ἀπὸ υἱῶν αὐτοῦ.
12And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
12καὶ ἐπλήρωσε Μιχαίας τὴν χεῖρα τοῦ Λευίτου, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῷ εἰς ἱερέα καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Μιχαία.
13Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.
13καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας· νῦν ἔγνων ὅτι ἀγαθυνεῖ μοι Κύριος, ὅτι ἐγένετό μοι ὁ Λευίτης εἰς ἱερέα.
