Judges 17

KING JAMES BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.	1 وكان رجل من جبل افرايم اسمه ميخا.
2 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.	2 فقال لامه ان الالف والمئة شاقل الفضة التي أخذت منك وانت لعنت وقلت ايضا في اذنيّ. هوذا الفضة معي انا اخذتها. فقالت امه مبارك انت من الرب يا ابني.
3 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.	3 فرد الالف والمئة شاقل الفضة لامه فقالت امه تقديسا قدست الفضة للرب من يدي لابني لعمل تمثال منحوت وتمثال مسبوك. فالآن اردها لك.
4 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.	4 فرد الفضّة لامه فاخذت امه مئتي شاقل فضة واعطتها للصائغ فعملها تمثالا منحوتا وتمثالا مسبوكا وكانا في بيت ميخا.
5 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.	5 وكان للرجل ميخا بيت للآلهة فعمل افودا وترافيم وملأ يد واحد من بنيه فصار له كاهنا.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.	6 وفي تلك الايام لم يكن ملك في اسرائيل. كان كل واحد يعمل ما يحسن في عينيه
7 And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.	7 وكان غلام من بيت لحم يهوذا من عشيرة يهوذا وهو لاوي متغرب هناك.
8 And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.	8 فذهب الرجل من المدينة من بيت لحم يهوذا لكي يتغرب حيثما اتفق. فأتى الى جبل افرايم الى بيت ميخا وهو آخذ في طريقه.
9 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.	9 فقال له ميخا من اين اتيت. فقال له انا لاوي من بيت لحم يهوذا وانا ذاهب لكي اتغرب حيثما اتّفق.
10 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.	10 فقال له ميخا اقم عندي وكن لي ابا وكاهنا وانا اعطيك عشرة شواقل فضة في السنة وحلّة ثياب وقوتك. فذهب معه اللاوي.
11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.	11 فرضي اللاوي بالاقامة مع الرجل وكان الغلام له كاحد بنيه.
12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.	12 فملأ ميخا يد اللاوي وكان الغلام له كاهنا وكان في بيت ميخا.
13 Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.	13 فقال ميخا الآن علمت ان الرب يحسن اليّ لانه صار لي اللاوي كاهنا
