Micah and the Levite

1 There was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah. 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.” 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.” 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. 5 And the man Micah had a shrine, and he made an ephod and household gods, and ordained* one of his sons, who became his priest. 6 In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. 7 Now there was a young man of Bethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there. 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. 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. 11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man, and the young man became to him like one of his sons. 12 And Micah ordained the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. 13 Then Micah said, “Now I know that the Lord will prosper me, because I have a Levite as priest.”

1 Byl pak muž nějaký s hory Efraim, jehož jméno bylo Mícha. 2 Kterýž řekl matce své: Ten tisíc a sto stříbrných, kteříž vzati byli tobě, pro něž jsi zlořečila a mluvilas přede mnou, hle, stříbro to u mne jest, já jsem je vzal. I řekla matka jeho: Požehnaný jsi, synu můj, od Hospodina. 3 Navrátil tedy ten tisíc a sto stříbrných matce své. I řekla matka jeho: Jižť jsem zajisté posvětila stříbro to Hospodinu z ruky své, a tobě synu svému, aby udělán byl obraz rytý a slitý. Protož nyní dám je tobě. 4 On pak navrátil to stříbro matce své, z něhož vzala matka jeho dvě stě stříbrných, a dala zlatníku. I udělal z nich obraz rytý a slitý, kterýž byl v domě Míchově. 5 Měl pak ten Mícha chrám bohů, i udělal efod a terafim, a naplnil ruce jednoho z synů svých, aby mu byl knězem. 6 Toho času nebylo krále v Izraeli; jeden každý, což se mu za dobré vidělo, to činil. 7 Byl pak mládenec z Betléma Judova, totiž z čeledi Judovy, kterýž, jsa Levíta, byl tam pohostinu. 8 Odšel tedy člověk ten z města Betléma Judova, aby byl pohostinu, kdež by se mu koli nahodilo. I přišel na horu Efraim, až k domu Míchovu, jda cestou svou. 9 Jemuž řekl Mícha: Odkud jdeš? Odpověděl mu: Já jsem Levíta, z Betléma Judova beru se, abych byl pohostinu, kdež by mi se koli nahodilo. 10 I řekl jemu Mícha: Zůstaň u mne, a buď mi za otce a za kněze, a buduť dávati deset stříbrných na každý rok, a dvoje roucho i stravu tvou. I šel Levíta. 11 Líbilo se pak Levítovi zůstati u muže toho, a byl u něho mládenec ten, jako jeden z synů jeho. 12 I posvětil Mícha rukou Levíty, a byl mu mládenec ten za kněze; i bydlil v domě jeho. 13 Řekl pak Mícha: Nyníť vím, že mi dobře učiní Hospodin, proto že mám toho Levítu za kněze.
