NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Fuit vir quidam de monte Ephraim nomine Michas,	1 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
2 qui dixit matri suae: “ Mille centum argenteos, qui ablati sunt a te et super quibus, me audiente, maledicens iuraveras, ecce ego habeo; ego abstuli ”. Cui illa respondit: “ Benedictus filius meus Domino! ”.	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.
3 Reddidit ergo eos matri suae, quae dixit ei: “ Consecravi et vovi argentum hoc Domino: de manu mea suscipiat pro filio meo, ut faciat sculptile atque conflatile. Et nunc trado illud tibi ”.	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.
4 Reddiditque eos matri suae, quae tulit ducentos argenteos et dedit eos argentario, ut faceret ex eis sculptile atque conflatile, quod fuit in domo Michae,	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.
5 qui aediculam Dei habens fecit ephod ac theraphim implevitque unius filiorum suorum manum, et factus est ei sacerdos.	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.
6 In diebus illis non erat rex in Israel, sed unusquisque, quod sibi rectum videbatur, hoc faciebat.	6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
7 Fuit quoque adulescens de Bethlehem Iudae ex cognatione Iudae; eratque ipse Levites et habitabat ibi ut advena.	7 And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
8 Egressusque de civitate Bethlehem peregrinari voluit ubicumque sibi commodum repperisset. Cumque iter faciens venisset in monte Ephraim usque ad domum Michae,	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.
9 interrogatus est ab eo unde venisset. Qui respondit: “ Levita sum de Bethlehem Iudae et vado, ut habitem, ubi potuero et utile mihi esse perspexero ”.	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.
10 Dixitque Michas: “ Mane apud me et esto mihi parens ac sacerdos; daboque tibi per annos singulos decem argenteos ac vestium apparatum et quae ad victum sunt necessaria ”.	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.
11 Acquievit et mansit apud hominem fuitque illi quasi unus de filiis.	11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
12 Implevitque Michas manum eius et habuit puerum sacerdotem apud se,	12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
13 “ nunc scio, dicens, quod benefaciet mihi Dominus habenti levitici generis sacerdotem ”.	13 Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.
