1
And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
1
Now there was a man from the mountains of Ephraim, whose name [was] Micah.
2
And 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.
2
And he said to his mother, "The eleven hundred [shekels] of silver that were taken from you, and on which you put a curse, even saying it in my ears -- here [is] the silver with me; I took it." And his mother said, "[May you be] blessed by the LORD, my son!"
3
And 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.
3
So when he had returned the eleven hundred [shekels] of silver to his mother, his mother said, "I had wholly dedicated the silver from my hand to the LORD for my son, to make a carved image and a molded image; now therefore, I will return it to you."
4
Yet 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.
4
Thus he returned the silver to his mother. Then his mother took two hundred [shekels] of silver and gave them to the silversmith, and he made it into a carved image and a molded image; and they were in the house of Micah.
5
And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
5
The man Micah had a shrine, and made an ephod and household idols; and he consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
6
In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
6
In those days [there was] no king in Israel; everyone did [what was] right in his own eyes.
7
And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
7
Now there was a young man from Bethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah; he [was] a Levite, and was staying there.
8
And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
8
The man departed from the city of Bethlehem in Judah to stay wherever he could find [a place.] Then he came to the mountains of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
9
And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
9
And Micah said to him, "Where do you come from?" So he said to him, "I [am] a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and I am on my way to find [a place] to stay."
10
And 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.
10
Micah said to him, "Dwell with me, and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten [shekels] of silver per year, a suit of clothes, and your sustenance." So the Levite went in.
11
And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
11
Then the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man became like one of his sons to him.
12
And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
12
So Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and lived in the house of Micah.
13
Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.
13
Then Micah said, "Now I know that the LORD will be good to me, since I have a Levite as priest!"
