1There was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
1Te vaengah Ephraim tlang lamkah hlang pakhat, a ming ah Mikhaiah te om.
2He said to his mother, “The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse, and also spoke it in my ears—behold, the silver is with me. I took it.” His mother said, “May the LORD bless my son!”
2Te vaengah a manu taengah, “Nang taengkah cak thawngkhat yakhat a loh dongah nang n'tap coeng. Ka hna ah khaw, 'Cak te kamah taengla ka loh ne,’ a ti,” a ti nah. Te dongah a manu loh, “BOEIPA rhangneh ka ca a yoethen,” a ti.
3He restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, then his mother said, “I most certainly dedicate the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a carved image and a molten image. Now therefore I will restore it to you.”
3Te dongah cak thawngkhat yakhat te a manu taengla a bal hatah a manu loh, “Ka kut lamkah cak te ka ca kah mueithuk neh mueihlawn saii nah ham BOEIPA taengah ka hoep rhoela ka hoep coeng. Te dongah namah taengla kam mael pawn ni,” a ti nah.
4When he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to a silversmith, who made a carved image and a molten image out of it. It was in the house of Micah.
4Te dongah a manu taengla a mael tangtae cak te a manu loh a loh. Cak yakhat te, mueithuk aka saii tih mueihlawn aka hlawn, Mikhaiah im kah aka om taengah a paek.
5The man Micah had a house of gods, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
5Tekah hlang Maikah amah taengah pathen im pakhat om. Te dongah hnisui neh sithui te a saii tih a ca rhoek khui lamkah pakhat kut dongah a poem sak phoeiah amah kah khosoih la a khueh.
6In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.
6Te vaeng tue ah Israel he manghai a khueh pawt dongah hlang boeih loh a mik dongkah a thuem sak bangla a saii.
7There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there.
7Te vaengah Judah kho Bethlehem lamkah Judah koca cadong pakhat om tih anih khaw Levi la a om dongah te ah te pah van.
8The man departed out of the city, out of Bethlehem Judah, to live where he could find a place, and he came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he traveled.
8Judah Bethlehem khopuei lamkah hlang te cet tih a pah nah te a toem tih a longpuei a thuep hatah Ephraim tlang kah Maikah im la pawk.
9Micah said to him, “Where did you come from?” He said to him, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem Judah, and I am looking for a place to live.”
9Te vaengah anih te Maikah loh, “Me lamkah lae na thoeng,” a ti nah hatah, “Kai he Judah Bethlehem lamkah Levi ni, te dongah pah nah te toem ham ka caeh dae he,” a ti nah.
10Micah said to him, “Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver per year, a suit of clothing, and your food.” So the Levite went in.
10Te dongah anih te Maikah loh, “Kai taengah khosa mai lamtah kai hamla a pa banghui neh khosoih lam khaw om mai. Nang te kamah loh kum khat ah cak a laang, himbai phu, na thahuelnah khaw kam paek bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Levi te khaw pahoi kun.
11The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
11Levi khaw hlang neh khosak ham a mulmet coeng dongah a capa pakhat bangla anih taengah cadong la a om pah.
12Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
12Levi kut te khaw Maikah loh a khueh pah coeng dongah cadong khaw anih kah khosoih la a om pah tih Maikah im ah kho a sak.
13Then Micah said, “Now I know that the LORD will do good to me, since I have a Levite as my priest.”
13Te daengah Maikah loh, “Levi he ka khosoih la om coeng tih kai hamla BOEIPA then tila ka ming coeng,” a ti.
