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

And there is a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his name Micah,

2 O o 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.

and he saith to his mother, `The eleven hundred silverlings which have been taken of thine, and thou hast sworn, and also spoken in mine ears; lo, the silver with me, I have taken it;' and his mother saith, `Blessed my son of Jehovah.'

3 O o 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.

And he giveth back the eleven hundred silverlings to his mother, and his mother saith, `I had certainly sanctified the silver to Jehovah, from my hand, for my son, to make a graven image, and a molten image; and now, I give it back to thee.'

4 O o 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.

And he giveth back the money to his mother, and his mother taketh two hundred silverlings, and giveth them to a refiner, and he maketh them a graven image, and a molten image, and it is in the house of Micah.

5 O o 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.

As to the man Micah, he hath a house of gods, and he maketh an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrateth the hand of one of his sons, and he is to him for a priest;

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

in those days there is no king in Israel, each that which is right in his own eyes doth.

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

And there is a young man of Beth-Lehem-Judah, of the family of Judah, and he a Levite, and he a sojourner there.

8 M arkaasuu 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.

And the man goeth out of the city, out of Beth-Lehem-Judah, to sojourn where he doth find, and cometh to the hill-country of Ephraim, unto the house of Micah, to work his way.

9 M arkaasuu 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.

And Micah saith to him, `Whence comest thou?' and he saith unto him, `A Levite I, of Beth-Lehem-Judah, and I am going to sojourn where I do find.'

10 M arkaasuu 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.

And Micah saith to him, `Dwell with me, and be to me for a father and for a priest, and I give to thee ten silverlings for the days, and a suit of garments, and thy sustenance;' and the Levite goeth.

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

And the Levite is willing to dwell with the man, and the young man is to him as one of his sons.

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

And Micah consecrateth the hand of the Levite, and the young man is to him for a priest, and he is in the house of Micah,

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

and Micah saith, `Now I have known that Jehovah doth good to me, for the Levite hath been to me for a priest.'
