1 以法蓮山區住了一個名叫米迦的人。2 他對母親說:「你那一千一百塊銀子丟了,我還聽見你咒詛小偷。看啊,銀子在我這裡,是我拿去的。」他母親說:「我兒啊,願耶和華賜福給你!」3 米迦把一千一百塊銀子還給母親。他母親說:「我要為你把這些銀子獻給耶和華,用來雕刻、鑄造神像。現在這銀子還是你的。」4 米迦把銀子還給母親後,他母親拿出二百塊銀子交給銀匠雕刻、鑄造神像,放在米迦的房子裡。5 米迦有一個神廟,他製造了一件以弗得和一些家庭神像,並指派他的一個兒子做祭司。6 那時,以色列沒有王,人人各行其是。7 猶大的伯利恆住著一個年輕的利未人。8 他離開伯利恆想到別的地方居住,一路走到以法蓮山區米迦的家。9 米迦問他:「你從哪裡來?」他回答說:「我是從猶大 伯利恆來的利未人,我要找一個住的地方。」10 米迦說:「你就住在我這裡吧,做我的師父和祭司。我每年給你十塊銀子,還為你提供衣服和膳食。」利未人就進了米迦的家,11 住了下來。米迦待他就像待自己的兒子一樣。12 這樣,米迦派他做祭司,讓他住在自己家裡。13 米迦說:「現在我有一個利未人做我的祭司,耶和華一定會賜福給我。」

1 There was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah. (书24:33; 士17:8; 士18:2)2 And he said to his mother, “The 1,100 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.” And his mother said, “Blessed be my son by the Lord.” (得3:10; 撒上15:13)3 And he restored the 1,100 pieces of silver to his mother. And his mother said, “I dedicate the silver to the Lord from my hand for my son, to make a carved image and a metal image. Now therefore I will restore it to you.” (出20:4; 利19:4)4 So when he restored the money to his mother, his mother took 200 pieces of silver and gave it to the silversmith, who made it into a carved image and a metal image. And it was in the house of Micah. (赛46:6)5 And the man Micah had a shrine, and he made an ephod and household gods, and ordained[1] one of his sons, who became his priest. (创31:19; 出28:6; 士8:27; 士17:12; 士18:14; 士18:17; 王上13:33; 何3:4)6 In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. (申12:8; 士18:1; 士19:1; 士21:25)7 Now there was a young man of Bethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there. (士19:1; 得1:1; 弥5:2; 太2:1; 太2:5)8 And the man departed from the town of Bethlehem in Judah to sojourn where he could find a place. And as he journeyed, he came to the hill country of Ephraim to the house of Micah. (书24:33)9 And Micah said to him, “Where do you come from?” And he said to him, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to sojourn where I may find a place.”10 And Micah said to him, “Stay with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year and a suit of clothes and your living.” And the Levite went in. (士18:19)11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man, and the young man became to him like one of his sons. (出2:21)12 And Micah ordained the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. (士17:5; 士18:30)13 Then Micah said, “Now I know that the Lord will prosper me, because I have a Levite as priest.”
