1 Now there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
1 HUBO un hombre del monte de Ephraim, que se llamaba Michâs.
2 And he said unto his mother: 'The eleven hundred pieces of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou didst utter a curse, and didst also speak it in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it.' And his mother said: 'Blessed be my son of the LORD.'
2 El cual dijo á su madre: Los mil y cien [siclos] de plata que te fueron hurtados, por lo que tú maldecías oyéndolo yo, he aquí que yo tengo este dinero: yo lo había tomado. Entonces la madre dijo: Bendito seas de Jehová, hijo mío.
3 And he restored the eleven hundred pieces of silver to his mother, and his mother said: 'I verily dedicate 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.'
3 Y luego que él hubo vuelto á su madre los mil y cien [siclos] de plata, su madre dijo: Yo he dedicado este dinero á Jehová de mi mano para ti, hijo mío, para que hagas una imagen de talla y de fundición: ahora pues, yo te lo devuelvo.
4 And when he restored the money unto his mother, his mother took two hundred pieces of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image; and it was in the house of Micah.
4 Mas volviendo él á su madre los dineros, tomó su madre doscientos [siclos] de plata, y diólos al fundidor: y él le hizo de ellos una imagen de talla y de fundición, la cual fué [puesta] en casa de Michâs.
5 And the man Micah had a house of God, and he made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
5 Y tuvo este hombre Michâs casa de dioses, é hízose hacer ephod y teraphim, y consagró uno de sus hijos; y fuéle por sacerdote.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
6 En estos días no había rey en Israel: cada uno hacía como mejor le parecía.
7 And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem in Judah — in the family of Judah — who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
7 Y había un joven de Beth-lehem de Judá, de la tribu de Judá, el cual era Levita; y peregrinaba allí.
8 And the man departed out of the city, out of Beth-lehem in Judah, to sojourn where he could find a place; and he came to the hill-country of Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
8 Este hombre se había partido de la ciudad de Beth-lehem de Judá, para ir á vivir donde hallase; y llegando al monte de Ephraim, [vino] á casa de Michâs, para [de allí] hacer su camino.
9 And Micah said unto him: 'Whence comest thou?' And he said unto him: 'I am a Levite of Beth-lehem in Judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.'
9 Y Michâs le dijo: ¿De dónde vienes? Y el Levita le respondió: Soy de Beth-lehem de Judá, y voy á vivir donde hallare.
10 And Micah said unto him: 'Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten pieces of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals.' So the Levite went in.
10 Entonces Michâs le dijo: Quédate en mi casa, y me serás en lugar de padre y sacerdote; y yo te daré diez [siclos] de plata por año, y el ordinario de vestidos, y tu comida. Y el Levita se quedó.
11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
11 Acordó pues el Levita en morar con aquel hombre, y él lo tenía como á uno de sus hijos.
12 And Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
12 Y Michâs consagró al Levita, y aquel joven le servía de sacerdote, y estaba en casa de Michâs.
13 Then said Micah: 'Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite as my priest.'
13 Y Michâs dijo: Ahora sé que Jehová me hará bien, pues que el Levita es hecho mi sacerdote.
