17 Në krahinën malore të Efraimit ishte një njeri që quhej Mikah.
2 Ai i tha nënes së tij: "Një mijë e njëqind siklat prej argjendi që të kanë marrë dhe për të cilat ke thënë një mallkim, që e dëgjova me veshët e mi, ja, i kam unë; ato para i kisha marrë unë". Nëna e tij tha: "Im bir qoftë i bekuar nga Zoti!".
3 Kështu ai ia ktheu nënes së tij të një mijë e njëqind siklat prej argjendi dhe e ëma tha: "Unë ia shenjtëroj plotësisht nga dora ime këtë argjend Zotit për birin tim, për ta bërë një shëmbëlltyrë të gdhendur dhe një figurë me derdhje prandaj po ta kthej tani".
4 Pas kthimit të argjendit nënes së tij, e ëma mori dyqind sikla argjendi dhe ia dha shkrirësit, i cili bëri një shëmbëlltyrë të gdhendur dhe një figurë me derdhje metali; dhe këto u vendosën në shtëpinë e Mikahut.
5 Kështu ky njeri, Mikahu, pati një shtëpi perëndish; bëri një efod dhe një shtëpi idhujsh, dhe shenjtëroi një nga bijtë e tij që i shërbente ai prift.
6 Në atë kohë nuk kishte mbret në Izrael; secili bënte atë që i dukej e drejtë në sytë e tij.
7 Ishte një i ri nga Betlemi i Judës, nga familja e Judës, i cili ishte Levit dhe banonte në atë vend si i huaj.
8 Ky njeri u nis nga qyteti i Betlemit të Judës për t’u vendosur aty ku mund të gjente një vend; duke ecur arriti në krahinën malore të Efraimit, në shtëpinë e Mikahut.
9 Mikahu e pyeti: "Nga po vjen?". Ai u përgjegj: "Jam një Levit nga Betlemi i Judës dhe jam duke kërkuar një vend ku mund të vendosem".
10 Mikahu i tha: "Rri me mua, dhe bëhu ati dhe prifti im; do të të jap dhjetë sikla argjendi çdo vit, rroba dhe ushqim". Atëherë Leviti hyri.
11 Kështu Leviti pranoi të rrinte me atë njeri, që e trajtoi të riun sikur të ishte një nga bijtë e tij.
12 Mikahu e shenjtëroi Levitin; i riu i shërbeu si prift dhe u vendos në shtëpinë e Mikahut.
13 Pastaj Mikahu i tha: "Tani e di që Zoti do të më bëjë të mira, sepse kam një Levit që më shërben si prift".

Micah’s Idols
17 Now a man named Micah(A) from the hill country of Ephraim 2 said to his mother, “The eleven hundred shekels[a] of silver that were taken from you and about which I heard you utter a curse—I have that silver with me; I took it.”
Then his mother said, “The Lord bless you,(B) my son!”
3 When he returned the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, she said, “I solemnly consecrate my silver to the Lord for my son to make an image overlaid with silver.(C) I will give it back to you.”
4 So after he returned the silver to his mother, she took two hundred shekels[b] of silver and gave them to a silversmith, who used them to make the idol.(D) And it was put in Micah’s house.
5 Now this man Micah had a shrine,(E) and he made an ephod(F) and some household gods(G) and installed(H) one of his sons as his priest.(I) 6 In those days Israel had no king;(J) everyone did as they saw fit.(K)
7 A young Levite(L) from Bethlehem in Judah,(M) who had been living within the clan of Judah, 8 left that town in search of some other place to stay. On his way[c] he came to Micah’s house in the hill country of Ephraim.
9 Micah asked him, “Where are you from?”
“I’m a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah,(N)” he said, “and I’m looking for a place to stay.”
10 Then Micah said to him, “Live with me and be my father(O) and priest,(P) and I’ll give you ten shekels[d] of silver a year, your clothes and your food.” 11 So the Levite agreed to live with him, and the young man became like one of his sons to him. 12 Then Micah installed(Q) the Levite, and the young man became his priest(R) and lived in his house. 13 And Micah said, “Now I know that the Lord will be good to me, since this Levite has become my priest.”(S)

King James Version
17 And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
2 And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my son.
3 And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated 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.
4 Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
5 And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
7 And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
8 And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
9 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
10 And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in.
11 And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
12 And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
13 Then said Micah, Now know I that the Lord will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.
