Judges 17

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 There was a man in the mountain region of Ephraim whose name was Micah.	1 και εγενετο ανηρ εξ ορους εφραιμ και ονομα αυτω μιχα
2 He said to his mother, "The eleven hundred shekels of silver over which you pronounced a curse in my hearing when they were taken from you, are in my possession. It was I who took them; so now I will restore them to you."	2 και ειπεν τη μητρι αυτου χιλιους και εκατον αργυριου τους λημφθεντας σοι και εξωρκισας και ειπας εν τοις ωσιν μου ιδου το αργυριον παρ' εμοι εγω ελαβον αυτο και ειπεν η μητηρ αυτου ευλογημενος ο υιος μου τω κυριω
3 When he restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, she took two hundred of them and gave them to the silversmith, who made of them a carved idol overlaid with silver.	3 και απεδωκεν τους χιλιους και εκατον του αργυριου τη μητρι αυτου και ειπεν η μητηρ αυτου αγιασμω ηγιασα το αργυριον τω κυριω εκ της χειρος μου κατα μονας του ποιησαι γλυπτον και χωνευτον και νυν επιστρεψω αυτα σοι και αποδωσω σοι αυτο
4 Then his mother said, "May the LORD bless my son! I have consecrated the silver to the LORD as my gift in favor of my son, by making a carved idol overlaid with silver." It remained in the house of Micah.	4 και απεδωκεν το αργυριον τη μητρι αυτου και ελαβεν η μητηρ αυτου διακοσιους του αργυριου και εδωκεν αυτο τω χωνευτη και εποιησεν αυτο γλυπτον και χωνευτον και εγενετο εν τω οικω μιχα
5 Thus the layman Micah had a sanctuary. He also made an ephod and household idols, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.	5 και ο ανηρ μιχα αυτω οικος θεου και εποιησεν εφουδ και θεραφιν και ενεπλησεν την χειρα ενος των υιων αυτου και εγενηθη αυτω εις ιερεα
6 In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what he thought best.	6 εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις ουκ ην βασιλευς εν ισραηλ ανηρ το αγαθον εν οφθαλμοις αυτου εποιει
7 There was a young Levite who had resided within the tribe of Judah at Bethlehem of Judah.	7 και εγενετο παιδαριον εκ βηθλεεμ δημου ιουδα εκ της συγγενειας ιουδα και αυτος λευιτης και αυτος παρωκει εκει
8 From that city he set out to find another place of residence. On his journey he came to the house of Micah in the mountain region of Ephraim.	8 και επορευθη ο ανηρ εκ της πολεως ιουδα εκ βηθλεεμ παροικειν ου εαν ευρη και εγενηθη εις ορος εφραιμ εως οικου μιχα του ποιησαι την οδον αυτου
9 Micah said to him, "Where do you come from?" He answered him, "I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and am on my way to find some other place of residence."	9 και ειπεν αυτω μιχα ποθεν ερχη και ειπεν προς αυτον λευιτης εγω ειμι εκ βηθλεεμ ιουδα και εγω πορευομαι παροικειν ου εαν ευρω
10 "Stay with me," Micah said to him. "Be father and priest to me, and I will give you ten silver shekels a year, a set of garments, and your food."	10 και ειπεν αυτω μιχα καθου μετ' εμου και γενου μοι εις πατερα και εις ιερεα και εγω δωσω σοι δεκα αργυριου εις ημερας και ζευγος ιματιων και τα προς το ζην σου και επορευθη ο λευιτης
11 So the young Levite decided to stay with the man, to whom he became as one of his own sons.	11 και ηρξατο παροικειν παρα τω ανδρι και εγενηθη αυτω το παιδαριον ως εις των υιων αυτου
12 Micah consecrated the young Levite, who became his priest, remaining in his house.	12 και ενεπλησεν μιχα την χειρα του λευιτου και εγενηθη αυτω το παιδαριον εις ιερεα και ην εν τω οικω μιχα
13 Therefore Micah said, "Now I know that the LORD will prosper me, since the Levite has become my priest."	13 και ειπεν μιχα νυν εγνων οτι ηγαθοποιησεν με κυριος οτι εγενηθη μοι ο λευιτης εις ιερεα
