1 N a i te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima tetahi tangata, ko Mika tona ingoa.

Oo waxaa jiray nin degganaa dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim; magiciisana waxaa la odhan jiray Miikaah.

2 N a ka mea ia ki tona whaea, Ko nga hiriwa kotahi tekau ma tahi rau i tangohia ra i a koe, te mea i kanga ra koe, i korero ai hoki koe ki oku taringa, nana, kei ahau aua hiriwa; naku i tango. Na ka mea tona whaea, Ma Ihowa koe e manaaki, e taku ta ma.

Oo isna wuxuu hooyadiis ku yidhi, Kun iyo boqolkii xabbadood oo lacagta ahaa ee lagaa qaaday, ee aad ku habaartamaysay ee aad igu dhego hadlaysay, lacagtii anigaa haya; oo anaa qaaday. Markaasay hooyadiis tidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, Rabbigu ha ku barakeeyo.

3 N a ka whakahokia e ia nga hiriwa kotahi tekau ma tahi rau ki tona whaea, a ka mea tona whaea; Ka whakatapua rawatia e ahau te hiriwa ma Ihowa, he mea na toku ringa ma taku tama, hei hanga whakapakoko, he mea whaowhao, he mea whakarewa. Na, me wha kahoki atu e ahau ki a koe inaianei.

Oo kun iyo boqolkii xabbadood oo lacagta ahaa ayuu u soo celiyey hooyadiis, markaasay hooyadiis tidhi, Sida runta ah waxaan lacagta u soocay Rabbiga, oo gacantaydaan ka bixiyey wiilkayga aawadiis in laga sameeyo sanam xardhan iyo sanam la shubay; taas aawadeed adigaan kuu soo celin doonaa.

4 N a, i tana whakahokinga i te moni ki tona whaea, ka tango tona whaea i nga pihi hiriwa e rua rau, a hoatu ana ki te kaiwhakarewa, a nana i hanga tetahi whakapakoko whaowhao me tetahi mea whakarewa; na ka takoto aua mea ki te whare o Mika.

Oo markuu lacagtii hooyadiis u soo celiyey ayay hooyadiis qaadatay laba boqol oo xabbadood oo lacag ah, oo waxay u dhiibtay lacagtume, oo isna wuxuu ka sameeyey sanam xardhan iyo sanam la shubay; waxayna yaalleen gurigii Miikaah.

5 N a he whare atua to taua tangata, to Mika, i hanga ano he epora e ia, me etahi terapimi, a i whakatohungatia hoki e ia tetahi o ana tama, a meinga ana hei tohunga mana.

Oo ninkii Miikaah ahaana wuxuu lahaa guri ilaahyood, oo wuxuu sameeyey eefod iyo teraafiim, oo wuxuuna quduus ka dhigay wiilashiisii midkood, oo isna wuxuu u noqday wadaadkiisii.

6 I aua ra kahore o Iharaira kingi; ko ta ratou i mea ai ko nga mea i tika ki te titiro a tenei, a tenei.

Waagaasna reer binu Israa'iil boqor ma ay lahayn; oo nin walubana wuxuu samayn jiray wixii isaga la qumman.

7 N a tera tetahi taitama o Peterehema Hura, o te hapu o Hura, he Riwaiti, a i reira ano ia e noho ana.

Oo waxaa jiray nin dhallinyaro ahaa oo ka soo baxay Beytlaxam Yahuudah oo reer Yahuudah ahaa, ee qoladiisu ahayd reer Laawi, oo halkaasuu degganaan jiray.

8 N a ka haere atu taua tangata i te pa, i Peterehema Hura, kia noho ki tana wahi e kite ai: a, i a ia e haere ana, ka tae ia ki te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, ki te whare o Mika.

Markaasuu ninkii ka baxay magaaladii ahayd Beytlaxam Yahuudah, inuu dego meel uu heli karo; oo intuu socday ayuu yimid gurigii Miikaah oo ku yiil dalkii buuraha lahaa oo reer Efrayim.

9 N a ka mea a Mika ki a ia, I haere mai koe i hea? A ka mea ia ki a ia, He Riwaiti ahau no Peterehema Hura, a e haere ana ahau kia noho ki taku wahi e kite ai.

Markaasuu Miikaah ku yidhi isagii, Xaggee baad ka timid? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay reer Laawi, oo Beytlaxam Yahuudah ayaan ka imid, oo waxaan u socdaa inaan dego meel aan heli karo.

10 N a ka mea a Mika ki a ia, E noho ki ahau, a hei matua koe moku, hei tohunga hoki, a kia tekau nga kiriwa e hoatu e ahau ki a koe i te tau, kia kotahi ano te whakaritenga kakahu, me te kai ano mau. Na ka tomo atu te Riwaiti.

Markaasuu Miikaah ku yidhi isagii, Aniga ila joog, oo ii noqo aabbe iyo wadaad, anna sannaddiiba waxaan ku siinayaa toban xabbadood oo lacag ah, iyo isku joog dhar ah, iyo cuntadaada. Sidaas daraaddeed kii reer Laawi guduhuu galay.

11 A pai tonu te Riwaiti kia noho ki taua tangata; a ka meinga taua taitamariki e ia kia rite ki tetahi o ana tama.

Oo kii reer Laawina raalli buu ka ahaa inuu ninkii la joogo; oo ninkii dhallinyarada ahaana wuxuu Miikaah u ahaa sida wiilashiisa midkood oo kale.

12 N a whakatohungatia ana e Mika taua Riwaiti, a ka waiho taua taitama hei tohunga mana, a noho ana i roto i te whare o Mika.

Markaasuu Miikaah quduus ka dhigay kii reer Laawi, oo ninkii dhallinyarada ahaana wuxuu Miikaah u noqday wadaadkiisii, oo gurigii Miikaah ayuu joogay.

13 N a ka mea a Mika, Katahi ahau ka mohio ka atawhaitia ahau e Ihowa, ina hoki ka riro mai nei te Riwaiti hei tohunga moku.

Markaasuu Miikaah yidhi, Haatan waan ogsoo nahay in Rabbigu wanaag ii samaynayo, maxaa yeelay, waxaa wadaad ii noqday nin reer Laawi ah.
