Judges 17

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 There was at that time a man of mount Ephraim whose name was Michas,	1 Havia na montanha de Efraim um homem chamado Micas.
2 Who said to his mother: The eleven hundred pieces of silver, which thou hadst put aside for thyself, and concerning which thou didst swear in my hearing, behold I have, and they are with me. And she said to him: Blessed be my son by the Lord.	2 Ele disse {um dia} à sua mãe: Os mil e cem siclos de prata que te roubaram e pelos quais lançaste uma maldição aos meus ouvidos, esse dinheiro está em meu poder; fui eu que os roubei. Sua mãe respondeu: Abençoado seja o meu filho pelo Senhor!
3 So he restored them to his mother, who said to him: I have consecrated and vowed this silver to the Lord, that my son may receive it at my hand, and make a graven and a molten god, so now I deliver it to thee.	3 Devolveu, pois, os mil e cem siclos de prata à sua mãe, que lhe disse: Da minha mão eu os consagro ao Senhor a favor de meu filho, para que se faça deles um ídolo fundido. Toma: ei-los aqui.
4 And he restored them to his mother: and she took two hundred pieces of silver and gave them to the silversmith, to make of them a graven and a molten god, which was in the house of Michas.	4 Micas entregou o dinheiro à sua mãe e ela tomou duzentos siclos de prata que mandou entregar ao fundidor. Fez o ourives com essa prata um ídolo fundido, que foi colocado na casa de Micas.
5 And he separated also therein a little temple for the god, and made an ephod, and theraphim, that is to say, a priestly garment, and idols: and he filled the hand of one of his sons, and he became his priest.	5 E Micas teve, assim, uma capela; mandou fazer um efod e uns terafim e consagrou um de seus filhos para servir-lhe de sacerdote.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every one did that which seemed right to himself.	6 Naquele tempo não havia rei em Israel, e cada um fazia o que lhe parecia melhor.
7 There was also another young man of Bethlehem Juda, of the kindred thereof: and he was a Levite, and dwelt there.	7 Ora, aconteceu que um adolescente de Belém de Judá, da tribo de Judá {o qual era levita, e morava ali},
8 Now he went out from the city of Bethlehem, and desired to sojourn wheresoever he should find it convenient for him. And when he was come to mount Ephraim, as he was on his journey, and had turned aside a little into the house of Michas,	8 partiu da cidade de Belém de Judá para procurar uma morada. Seguindo o seu caminho, chegou à montanha de Efraim, à casa de Micas.
9 He was asked by him whence he came. And he answered: I am a Levite of Bethlehem Juda, and I am going to dwell where I can, and where I shall find a place to my advantage.	9 De onde vens?, perguntou-lhe este. De Belém de Judá, respondeu o levita, e viajo em busca de um lugar onde me fixar.
10 And Michas said: Stay with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee every year ten pieces of silver, and a double suit of apparel, and thy victuals.	10 Micas disse-lhe: Fica comigo. Serás para mim um pai e um sacerdote; dar-te-ei dez siclos de prata por ano, vestes suficientes e alimento.
11 He was content, and abode with the man, and was unto him as one of his sons.	11 O jovem levita condescendeu em habitar na casa daquele homem, que o tratou como um de seus filhos.
12 And Michas filled his hand, and had the young man with him, for his priest, saying:	12 Micas pô-lo em suas funções e o jovem serviu-lhe de sacerdote, residindo em sua própria casa.
13 Now I know God will do me good, since I have a priest of the race of the Levites.	13 Agora, disse Micas, estou seguro de que o Senhor me abençoará, tendo eu esse levita por sacerdote.
