士師記 17

以法蓮山地有一個人名叫米迦。

yǐ fǎ lián shān dì yǒu yí gè rén míng jiào mǐ jiā 。

There was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.

他對母親說：「你那一千一百舍客勒銀子被人拿去，你因此咒詛，並且告訴了我。看哪，這銀子在我這裏，是我拿去了。」他母親說：「我兒啊，願耶和華賜福與你！」

tā duì mǔ qīn shuō ：「 nǐ nà yì qiān yì bǎi shè kè lè yín zi bèi rén ná qù ， nǐ yīn cǐ zhòu zǔ ， bìng qiě gào sù le wǒ 。 kàn nǎ ， zhè yín zi zài wǒ zhè lǐ ， shì wǒ ná qù le 。」 tā mǔ qīn shuō ：「 wǒ ér a ， yuàn yē hé huá cì fú yǔ nǐ ！」

He said to his mother, “The eleven hundred 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.” His mother said, “May the LORD bless my son!”

米迦就把這一千一百舍客勒銀子還他母親。他母親說：「我分出這銀子來為你獻給耶和華，好雕刻一個像，鑄成一個像。現在我還是交給你。」

mǐ jiā jiù bǎ zhè yì qiān yì bǎi shè kè lè yín zi hái tā mǔ qīn 。 tā mǔ qīn shuō ：「 wǒ fēn chū zhè yín zi lái wèi nǐ xiàn gěi yē hé huá ， hǎo diāo kè yí gè xiàng ， zhù chéng yí gè xiàng 。 xiàn zài wǒ hái shì jiāo gěi nǐ 。」

He restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, then his mother said, “I most certainly dedicate the silver to the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a carved image and a molten image. Now therefore I will restore it to you.”

米迦將銀子還他母親，他母親將二百舍客勒銀子交給銀匠，雕刻一個像，鑄成一個像，安置在米迦的屋內。

mǐ jiā jiāng yín zi hái tā mǔ qīn ， tā mǔ qīn jiāng èr bǎi shè kè lè yín zi jiāo gěi yín jiàng ， diāo kè yí gè xiàng ， zhù chéng yí gè xiàng ， ān zhì zài mǐ jiā de wū nèi 。

When he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to a silversmith, who made a carved image and a molten image out of it. It was in the house of Micah.

這米迦有了神堂，又製造以弗得和家中的神像，分派他一個兒子作祭司。

zhè mǐ jiā yǒu le shén táng ， yòu zhì zào yǐ fú dé hé jiā zhōng de shén xiàng ， fēn pài tā yí gè ér zi zuò jì sī 。

The man Micah had a house of gods, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.

那時以色列中沒有王，各人任意而行。

nà shí yǐ sè liè zhōng méi yǒu wáng ， gè rén rèn yì ér xíng 。

In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.

猶大的伯利恆有一個少年人，是猶大族的利未人，他在那裏寄居。

yóu dà de bó lì héng yǒu yí gè shào nián rén ， shì yóu dà zú de lì wèi rén ， tā zài nà lǐ jì jū 。

There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there.

這人離開猶大的伯利恆城，要找一個可住的地方。行路的時候，到了以法蓮山地，走到米迦的家。

zhè rén lí kāi yóu dà de bó lì héng chéng ， yào zhǎo yí gè kě zhù de dì fāng 。 xíng lù de shí hòu ， dào le yǐ fǎ lián shān dì ， zǒu dào mǐ jiā de jiā 。

The man departed out of the city, out of Bethlehem Judah, to live where he could find a place, and he came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he traveled.

米迦問他說：「你從哪裏來？」他回答說：「從猶大的伯利恆來。我是利未人，要找一個可住的地方。」

mǐ jiā wèn tā shuō ：「 nǐ cóng nǎ lǐ lái ？」 tā huí dá shuō ：「 cóng yóu dà de bó lì héng lái 。 wǒ shì lì wèi rén ， yào zhǎo yí gè kě zhù de dì fāng 。」

Micah said to him, “Where did you come from?” He said to him, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem Judah, and I am looking for a place to live.”

米迦說：「你可以住在我這裏，我以你為父、為祭司。我每年給你十舍客勒銀子，一套衣服和度日的食物。」利未人就進了他的家。

mǐ jiā shuō ：「 nǐ kě yǐ zhù zài wǒ zhè lǐ ， wǒ yǐ nǐ wèi fù 、 wèi jì sī 。 wǒ měi nián gěi nǐ shí shè kè lè yín zi ， yí tào yī fu hé dù rì de shí wù 。」 lì wèi rén jiù jìn le tā de jiā 。

Micah said to him, “Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver per year, a suit of clothing, and your food.” So the Levite went in.

利未人情願與那人同住；那人看這少年人如自己的兒子一樣。

lì wèi rén qíng yuàn yǔ nà rén tóng zhù ； nà rén kàn zhè shào nián rén rú zì jǐ de ér zi yí yàng 。

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

米迦分派這少年的利未人作祭司，他就住在米迦的家裏。

mǐ jiā fēn pài zhè shào nián de lì wèi rén zuò jì sī ， tā jiù zhù zài mǐ jiā de jiā lǐ 。

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

米迦說：「現在我知道耶和華必賜福與我，因我有一個利未人作祭司。」

mǐ jiā shuō ：「 xiàn zài wǒ zhī dào yē hé huá bì cì fú yǔ wǒ ， yīn wǒ yǒu yí gè lì wèi rén zuò jì sī 。」

Then Micah said, “Now I know that the LORD will do good to me, since I have a Levite as my priest.”
