1 Había un hombre de la región montañosa de Efraín llamado Micaía.
1 There was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
2 Él dijo a su madre: «Los mil cien siclos de plata que te robaron, por los que pronunciaste una maldición y que yo mismo te oí pronunciar, están conmigo. Yo tomé la plata, pero ahora te la devuelvo». Su madre respondió: «Que el Señor te bendiga, hijo mío».
2 He said to his mother, “The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse, and also spoke it in my ears—behold, the silver is with me. I took it.” His mother said, “May Yahweh bless my son!”
3 Micaía devolvió a su madre los mil cien siclos de plata. Ella dijo: «Dedico esta plata al Señor de parte de mi hijo, para hacer una imagen tallada y una imagen de metal fundido».
3 He restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, then his mother said, “I most certainly dedicate the silver to Yahweh from my hand for my son, to make a carved image and a molten image. Now therefore I will restore it to you.”
4 Después que Micaía devolvió la plata a su madre, ella tomó doscientos siclos y los dio a un artesano. Él hizo con ellos una imagen tallada y una imagen de metal fundido, que quedaron en la casa de Micaía.
4 When he restored the money to his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to a silversmith, who made a carved image and a molten image out of it. It was in the house of Micah.
5 Micaía tenía una casa de dioses. Hizo un efod y dioses domésticos, y nombró sacerdote a uno de sus hijos.
5 The man Micah had a house of gods, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
6 En aquellos días no había rey en Israel. Cada uno hacía lo que le parecía correcto.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.
7 Había un joven levita que vivía como extranjero en Belén de Judá.
7 There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there.
8 El joven salió de Belén de Judá buscando otro lugar donde vivir. En su viaje llegó a la región montañosa de Efraín, a la casa de Micaía.
8 The man departed out of the city, out of Bethlehem Judah, to live where he could find a place, and he came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he traveled.
9 Micaía le preguntó: «¿De dónde vienes?» Él respondió: «Soy levita de Belén de Judá y estoy buscando un lugar donde vivir».
9 Micah said to him, “Where did you come from?” He said to him, “I am a Levite of Bethlehem Judah, and I am looking for a place to live.”
10 Micaía le dijo: «Quédate conmigo y sé para mí como padre y sacerdote. Te daré diez siclos de plata al año, además de ropa y comida».
10 Micah said to him, “Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver per year, a suit of clothing, and your food.” So the Levite went in.
11 El levita aceptó quedarse con Micaía, y el joven llegó a ser para él como uno de sus hijos.
11 The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
12 Micaía nombró sacerdote al levita, y el joven vivió en su casa.
12 Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
13 Entonces Micaía dijo: «Ahora sé que el Señor me hará bien, porque tengo a un levita como sacerdote».
13 Then Micah said, “Now I know that Yahweh will do good to me, since I have a Levite as my priest.”
