Judges 17
1 మీకా అను నొకడు ఎఫ్రాయిమీయుల మన్యదేశ ములో నుండెను.
2 అతడు తన తల్లిని చూచినీ యొద్ద నుండి తీసికొనినరూకలు, అనగా నీవు ప్రమాణముచేసి నా వినికిడిలో మాటలాడిన ఆ వెయ్యిన్ని నూరు వెండి రూకలు నా యొద్దనున్నవి. ఇదిగో నేను వాటిని తీసి కొంటినని ఆమెతో చెప్పగా అతని తల్లినా కుమారుడు యెహోవాచేత ఆశీర్వదింపబడును గాక అనెను.
3 అతడు ఆ వెయ్యిన్నినూరు రూకలను తన తల్లికి మరల నియ్యగా ఆమెపోతవిగ్రహము చేయించుటకై నా కుమారునిచేత తీసికొనిన యీ రూకలను నేను యెహోవాకు ప్రతిష్ఠించు చున్నాను, నీకు మరల అది యిచ్చెదననెను.
4 అతడు ఆ రూకలను తన తల్లికియ్యగా ఆమె వాటిలో రెండువందలు పట్టుకొని కంసాలికప్పగించెను. అతడు వాటితో చెక్క బడిన ప్రతిమాస్వరూపమైన పోతవిగ్రహమును చేయగా అది మీకా యింట ఉంచబడెను.
5 మీకా అను ఆ మనుష్యునికి దేవమందిర మొకటి యుండెను. మరియు అతడు ఏఫోదును గృహదేవతలను చేయించి తన కుమారు లలో ఒకని ప్రతిష్ఠింపగా ఇతడు అతనికి యాజకుడాయెను.
6 ఆ దినములలో ఇశ్రాయేలీయులకు రాజులేడు; ప్రతివాడును తన తన ఇష్టానుసారముగా ప్రవర్తించుచు వచ్చెను.
7 యూదా బేత్లెహేములోనుండి వచ్చిన యూదా వంశస్థుడైన ఒక ¸°వనుడుండెను. అతడు లేవీయుడు, అతడు అక్కడ నివసించెను.
8 ఆ మనుష్యుడు తనకు స్థలము దొరికిన చోట నివసింపవలెనని యూదా బేత్లెహేము నుండి బయలుదేరి ప్రయాణము చేయుచు ఎఫ్రాయిమీ యుల మన్యదేశముననున్న మీకా యింటికి వచ్చెను.
9 మీకానీవు ఎక్కడనుండి వచ్చితివని అతని నడుగగా అతడునేను యూదా బేత్లెహేమునుండి వచ్చిన లేవీయు డను, నాకు దొరుకగల చోట నివసించుటకు పోవు చున్నానని అతనితో అనెను.
10 మీకానా యొద్ద నివ సించి నాకు తండ్రివిగాను యాజకుడవు గాను ఉండుము; నేను సంవత్సరమునకు నీకు పది వెండి రూకలును ఒక దుస్తు బట్టలును ఆహారమును ఇచ్చెదనని చెప్పగా ఆ లేవీ యుడు ఒప్పుకొని
11 ఆ మనుష్యునియొద్ద నివసించుటకు సమ్మతించెను. ఆ ¸°వనుడు అతని కుమారులలో ఒకని వలె నుండెను.
12 మీకా ఆ లేవీయుని ప్రతిష్ఠింపగా అతడు మీకాకు యాజకుడై అతని యింట నుండెను.
13 అంతట మీకాలేవీయుడు నాకు యాజకుడైనందున యెహోవా నాకు మేలుచేయునని యిప్పుడు నాకు తెలి యును అనెను.
1 And there was a man of mount 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.
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.
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.
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.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
7 And there was a young man out of Bethlehem-judah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
8 And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehem-judah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount 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 Bethlehem-judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
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.
11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was 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.
