Judges 17

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

At may isang lalake sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim, na ang pangala'y Michas.

And 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.

At sinabi niya sa kaniyang ina, Ang isang libo at isang daang putol na pilak na kinuha sa iyo, na siyang ikinapagtungayaw mo, at sinalita mo rin sa aking mga pakinig, narito, ang pilak ay nasa akin; aking kinuha. At sinabi ng kaniyang ina, Pagpalain nawa ng Panginoon ang aking anak.

And 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.

At isinauli niya ang isang libo at isang daang putol na pilak sa kaniyang ina, at sinabi ng kaniyang ina, Aking tunay na itinalaga ng aking kamay ang pilak na ito sa Panginoon, na ukol sa aking anak, upang igawa ng isang larawang inanyuan at ng isang larawang binubo: kaya ngayo'y isasauli ko sa iyo.

Yet 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.

At nang kaniyang isauli ang salapi sa kaniyang ina, ay kinuha ng kaniyang ina ang dalawang daang putol na pilak na ibinigay sa mga mangbububo, na siyang gumawa ng isang larawang inanyuan at ng isang larawang binubo: at nasa bahay ni Michas.

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

At ang lalaking si Michas ay nagkaroon ng isang bahay ng mga dios, at siya'y gumawa ng isang epod at mga terap at itinalaga ang isa ng kaniyang mga anak, na maging kaniyang saserdote.

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

Nang mga araw na yaon ay walang hari sa Israel: bawa't tao'y gumagawa ng minamatuwid niya sa kaniyang sariling mga mata.

And there was a young man out of Beth–lehem–judah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.

At may isa namang may kabataan sa Bethlehem-juda, sa angkan ni Juda; na isang Levita; at siya'y nakikipamayan doon.

And the man departed out of the city from Beth–lehem–judah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.

At ang lalake ay umalis sa bayan, sa Bethlehem-juda, upang makipamayan kung saan siya makakasumpong ng matutuluyan: at siya'y naparoon sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim, sa bahay ni Michas habang siya'y naglalakbay.

And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Beth–lehem–judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.

At sinabi ni Michas sa kaniya, Saan ka nanggaling? At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Ako'y Levita sa Bethlehem-juda, at ako'y yayaong makikipamayan kung saan ako makasumpong ng matutuluyan.

And 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.

At sinabi ni Michas sa kaniya, Tumahan ka sa akin, at ikaw ay maging sa akin ay isang ama at isang saserdote, at bibigyan kita ng sangpung putol na pilak isang taon, at ng bihisan, at ng iyong pagkain. Sa gayo'y ang Levita ay pumasok.

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

At ang Levita ay nakipagkasundong tumahang kasama ng lalake: at ang binata sa kaniya'y parang isa sa kaniyang mga anak.

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

At itinalaga ni Michas ang Levita, at ang binata ay naging kaniyang saserdote, at nasa bahay ni Michas.

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

Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Michas, Ngayo'y talastas ko, na gagawan ako ng mabuti ng Panginoon, yamang ako'y may isang Levita na pinakasaserdote ko.
