Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Ήτο δε άνθρωπός τις εκ του όρους Εφραΐμ, και το όνομα αυτού Μιχαίας.
1 There was a man of the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
2 Και είπε προς την μητέρα αυτού, Τα χίλια εκατόν αργύρια, τα οποία αφηρέθησαν από σου, διά τα οποία και συ κατηράσθης, και ακόμη ελάλησας εις τα ώτα μου, ιδού, το αργύριον είναι εις εμέ· εγώ έλαβον αυτό. Η δε μήτηρ αυτού είπεν, Ευλογημένος να ήσαι, υιέ μου, παρά του Κυρίου.
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 Και επέστρεψε τα χίλια και εκατόν αργύρια εις την μητέρα αυτού, και είπεν η μήτηρ αυτού, Αφιέρωμα αφιέρωσα το αργύριον εις τον Κύριον εκ της χειρός μου, υπέρ του υιού μου, διά να κάμη γλυπτόν και χωνευτόν· και τώρα θέλω επιστρέψει αυτό εις σε.
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 Αυτός δε επέστρεψε το αργύριον εις την μητέρα αυτού· η δε μήτηρ αυτού λαβούσα διακόσια αργύρια, έδωκεν αυτά εις τον χωνευτήν, όστις έκαμεν εξ αυτών γλυπτόν και χωνευτόν· και ήσαν εν τω οίκω του Μιχαία.
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 Και ο άνθρωπος ο Μιχαίας είχεν οίκον Θεού και έκαμεν εφόδ και θεραφείμ· και καθιέρωσεν ένα εκ των υιών αυτού, και έγεινεν εις αυτόν ιερεύς.
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 Κατ' εκείνας τας ημέρας δεν ήτο βασιλεύς εν τω Ισραήλ· έκαστος έπραττεν ό,τι εφαίνετο εις αυτόν ορθόν.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.
7 Και ήτο νέος τις εκ Βηθλεέμ Ιούδα, εκ της φυλής Ιούδα, όστις ήτο Λευΐτης και παρώκει εκεί.
7 There was a young man out of Bethlehem Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he lived there.
8 Και ανεχώρησεν ο άνθρωπος εκ της πόλεως Βηθλεέμ Ιούδα, διά να παροικήση όπου εύρη· και ήλθεν εις το όρος Εφραΐμ, έως του οίκου του Μιχαία, ακολουθών την οδόν αυτού.
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 Και είπε προς αυτόν ο Μιχαίας, Πόθεν έρχεσαι; Ο δε είπε προς αυτόν, Εγώ είμαι Λευΐτης εκ Βηθλεέμ Ιούδα και υπάγω να παροικήσω όπου εύρω.
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 Και είπε προς αυτόν ο Μιχαίας, Κάθου μετ' εμού και γίνου εις εμέ πατήρ και ιερεύς, και εγώ θέλω σοι δίδει δέκα αργύρια κατ' έτος και στολήν και την τροφήν σου. Και ο Λευΐτης εισήλθε προς αυτόν.
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 Και ευχαριστείτο ο Λευΐτης να κατοική μετά του ανθρώπου· και ο νέος ήτο εις αυτόν ως εις εκ των υιών αυτού.
11 The Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was to him as one of his sons.
12 Και καθιέρωσεν ο Μιχαίας τον Λευΐτην· και ο νέος έγεινεν εις αυτόν ιερεύς και έμενεν εν τω οίκω του Μιχαία.
12 Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
13 Τότε είπεν ο Μιχαίας, Τώρα γνωρίζω ότι ο Κύριος θέλει με αγαθοποιήσει, διότι έχω Λευΐτην διά ιερέα.
13 Then Micah said, “Now I know that Yahweh will do good to me, since I have a Levite as my priest.”
