¹And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.

¹A bol istý muž s vrchu Efraimovho, ktorému bolo meno Mícha.

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.

²Ten povedal svojej matke: Tých tisíc a sto šeklov striebra, ktoré ti vzali, a pre ktoré si ty kliala a vravela tak, že som to i ja počul, hľa, striebro je u mňa; ja som ho vzal: Vtedy povedala jeho matka: Nech je požehnaný môj syn Hospodinovi!

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.

³A tak navrátil tisíc a sto šeklov striebra svojej matke. A jeho matka povedala: Zasvätiť zasväcujem to striebro Hospodinovi zo svojej ruky za svojho syna, spraviť rytý a liaty obraz, a tak ho teraz vraciam tebe.

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.

⁴A tedy vrátil striebro svojej matke. A jeho matka vzala dvesto šeklov striebra a dala ho zlatníkovi, ktorý z neho spravil rytý a liaty obraz, a bolo to v dome Míchovom.

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.

⁵A tedy muž Mícha mal dom bohov a spravil efod a domácich bohov a naplnil ruku jedného zo svojich synov, vysvätil ho, a bol mu kňazom.

⁶In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

⁶V tých dňoch nebolo kráľa v Izraelovi; každý robil to, čo bolo správne v jeho očiach.

⁷And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.

⁷A bol nejaký mládenec z Betlehema Júdovho, z čeľade Júdovej; bol to Levita a pohostínil tam.

⁸And 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.

⁸A človek odišiel z toho mesta, z Betlehema Júdovho, aby pohostínil tam, kde by našiel príhodné miesto. A tak prišiel na vrch Efraimov až po dom Míchov idúc svojou cestou.

⁹And 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.

⁹A Mícha mu povedal: Odkiaľ ideš? A on mu odpovedal: Som Levita z Betlehema Júdovho a idem pohostíniť tam, kde najdem príhodné miesto.

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.

¹⁰Na to mu povedal Mícha: Bývaj u mňa a buď mi za otca a za kňaza, a ja ti dám desať šeklov striebra na rok ako i potrebný odev a tvoju stravu. A Levita išiel.

¹¹And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.

¹¹Tak svolil Levita bývať s mužom, a mládenec mu bol ako jeden z jeho synov.

¹²And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.

¹²A Mícha naplnil ruku Levitu, a mládenec mu bol za kňaza a bol v dome Míchovom.

¹³Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.

¹³A Mícha povedal: Teraz viem, že mi Hospodin učiní dobre, pretože mám tohoto Levitu za kňaza.
