1 Yǐfǎlián shān dì yǒu yī gèrén míng jiào Mǐjiā .
1
Now a man named Micah from the hill country of Ephraim
2 Tā duì mǔqin shuō , nǐ nà yī qiā yī bǎi Shĕkèlè yínzi beì rén ná qù , nǐ yīncǐ zhòuzǔ , bìngqiĕ gàosu le wǒ . kàn nǎ . zhè yínzi zaì wǒ zhèlǐ , shì wǒ ná qù le . tā mǔqin shuō , wǒ ér a , yuàn Yēhéhuá cì fú yǔ nǐ .

said to his mother, “The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from you and about which I heard you utter a curse—I have that silver with me; I took it.” Then his mother said, “The LORD bless you, my son!”
3 Mǐjiā jiù bǎ zhè yī qiā yī bǎi Shĕkèlè yínzi huán tā mǔqin . tā mǔqin shuō , wǒ fēn chū zhè yínzi lái wèi nǐ xiàn gĕi Yēhéhuá , hǎo diāokè yī gè xiàng , zhù chéng yī gè xiàng . xiànzaì wǒ háishì jiāo gĕi nǐ .
3
When he returned the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, she said, “I solemnly consecrate my silver to the LORD for my son to make an image overlaid with silver. I will give it back to you.”
4 Mǐjiā jiāng yínzi huán tā mǔqin , tā mǔqin jiāng èr bǎi Shĕkèlè yínzi jiāo gĕi yín jiàng , diāokè yī gè xiàng , zhù chéng yī gè xiàng , ānzhì zaì Mǐjiā de wū neì .
4
So after he returned the silver to his mother, she took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to a silversmith, who used them to make the idol. And it was put in Micah’s house.
5 Zhè Mǐjiā yǒu le shén táng , yòu zhìzào Yǐfúdé hé jiā zhōng de shénxiàng , fēn paì tā yī gè érzi zuò jìsī .
5
Now this man Micah had a shrine, and he made an ephod and some household gods and installed one of his sons as his priest.
6 Nàshí Yǐsèliè zhōng méiyǒu wáng , gèrén rènyì ér xíng .
6
In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit.
7 Yóudà de Bólìhéng yǒu yī gè shàonián rén , shì Yóudà zú de Lìwèi rén , tā zaì nàli jìjū .
7
A young Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, who had been living within the clan of Judah,
8 Zhè rén líkāi Yóudà de Bólìhéng chéng , yào zhǎo yī gè kĕ zhù de dìfang . xíng lù de shíhou , dào le Yǐfǎlián shān dì , zǒu dào Mǐjiā de jiā .
8
left that town in search of some other place to stay. On his way he came to Micah’s house in the hill country of Ephraim.
9 Mǐjiā wèn tā shuō , nǐ cóng nǎli lái . tā huídá shuō , cóng Yóudà de Bólìhéng lái . wǒ shì Lìwèi rén , yào zhǎo yī gè kĕ zhù de dìfang .
9
Micah asked him, “Where are you from?” “I’m a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah,” he said, “and I’m looking for a place to stay.”
10 Mǐjiā shuō , nǐ kĕyǐ zhù zaì wǒ zhèlǐ , wǒ yǐ nǐ wéi fù , wèi jìsī . wǒ mĕi nián gĕi nǐ shí Shĕkèlè yínzi , yī tào yīfu hé dù rì de shíwù . Lìwèi rén jiù jìn le tāde jiā .
10
Then Micah said to him, “Live with me and be my father and priest, and I’ll give you ten shekels of silver a year, your clothes and your food.”
11 Lìwèi rén qíngyuàn yǔ nà rén tóng zhù . nà rén kàn zhè shàonián rén rú zìjǐ de érzi yíyàng .
11
So the Levite agreed to live with him, and the young man became like one of his sons to him.
12 Mǐjiā fēn paì zhè shàonián de Lìwèi rén zuò jìsī , tā jiù zhù zaì Mǐjiā de jiā lǐ .
12
Then Micah installed the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in his house.
13 Mǐjiā shuō , xiànzaì wǒ zhīdào Yēhéhuá bì cì fú yǔ wǒ , yīn wǒ yǒu yī gè Lìwèi rén zuò jìsī .
13
And Micah said, “Now I know that the LORD will be good to me, since this Levite has become my priest.”
