1And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
1[] Ητο δε ανθρωπος τις εκ του ορους Εφραιμ, και το ονομα αυτου Μιχαιας.
2And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred silver-pieces that were taken from thee, and about which thou didst curse and speak of in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be my son of Jehovah!
2Και ειπε προς την μητερα αυτου, Τα χιλια εκατον αργυρια, τα οποια αφηρεθησαν απο σου, δια τα οποια και συ κατηρασθης, και ακομη ελαλησας εις τα ωτα μου, ιδου, το αργυριον ειναι εις εμε· εγω ελαβον αυτο. Η δε μητηρ αυτου ειπεν, Ευλογημενος να ησαι, υιε μου, παρα του Κυριου.
3And he restored the eleven hundred silver-pieces to his mother; and his mother said, I had dedicated the silver to Jehovah from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image; and now I will restore it to thee.
3Και επεστρεψε τα χιλια και εκατον αργυρια εις την μητερα αυτου, και ειπεν η μητηρ αυτου, Αφιερωμα αφιερωσα το αργυριον εις τον Κυριον εκ της χειρος μου, υπερ του υιου μου, δια να καμη γλυπτον και χωνευτον· και τωρα θελω επιστρεψει αυτο εις σε.
4Now he restored the silver to his mother; and his mother took two hundred silver-pieces and gave them to the founder, and he made of them a graven image and a molten image; and they were in the house of Micah.
4Αυτος δε επεστρεψε το αργυριον εις την μητερα αυτου· η δε μητηρ αυτου λαβουσα διακοσια αργυρια, εδωκεν αυτα εις τον χωνευτην, οστις εκαμεν εξ αυτων γλυπτον και χωνευτον· και ησαν εν τω οικω του Μιχαια.
5And the man Micah had a house of gods, and made an ephod and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
5Και ο ανθρωπος ο Μιχαιας ειχεν οικον Θεου και εκαμεν εφοδ και θεραφειμ· και καθιερωσεν ενα εκ των υιων αυτου, και εγεινεν εις αυτον ιερευς.
6In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did what was right in his own eyes.
6Κατ' εκεινας τας ημερας δεν ητο βασιλευς εν τω Ισραηλ· εκαστος επραττεν ο, τι εφαινετο εις αυτον ορθον.
7And there was a young man out of Bethlehem-Judah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
7[] Και ητο νεος τις εκ Βηθλεεμ Ιουδα, εκ της φυλης Ιουδα, οστις ητο Λευιτης και παρωκει εκει.
8And the man departed from the city, from Bethlehem-Judah, to sojourn where he might find [a place]. And as he journeyed, he came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah.
8Και ανεχωρησεν ο ανθρωπος εκ της πολεως Βηθλεεμ Ιουδα, δια να παροικηση οπου ευρη· και ηλθεν εις το ορος Εφραιμ, εως του οικου του Μιχαια, ακολουθων την οδον αυτου.
9And Micah said to him, Whence comest thou? And he said to him, I am a Levite of Bethlehem-Judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find [a place].
9Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Μιχαιας, Ποθεν ερχεσαι; Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον, Εγω ειμαι Λευιτης εκ Βηθλεεμ Ιουδα και υπαγω να παροικησω οπου ευρω.
10And Micah said to him, Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give thee yearly ten silver-pieces, and a suit of garments, and thy victuals. And the Levite went in.
10Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Μιχαιας, Καθου μετ' εμου και γινου εις εμε πατηρ και ιερευς, και εγω θελω σοι διδει δεκα αργυρια κατ' ετος και στολην και την τροφην σου. Και ο Λευιτης εισηλθε προς αυτον.
11And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
11Και ευχαριστειτο ο Λευιτης να κατοικη μετα του ανθρωπου· και ο νεος ητο εις αυτον ως εις εκ των υιων αυτου.
12And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
12Και καθιερωσεν ο Μιχαιας τον Λευιτην· και ο νεος εγεινεν εις αυτον ιερευς και εμενεν εν τω οικω του Μιχαια.
13Then said Micah, Now I know that Jehovah will do me good, because I have the Levite for priest.
13Τοτε ειπεν ο Μιχαιας, Τωρα γνωριζω οτι ο Κυριος θελει με αγαθοποιησει, διοτι εχω Λευιτην δια ιερεα.
