| [1]There was a man of mount Ephraim, named Micah |
[1]Fuit eo tempore vir quidam de monte Ephraim nomine Michas, |
| [2]And he sayde vnto his mother: The seuen hundred siluerlynges that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest it in myne eares, behold the syluer is with me, I toke it away. And his mother sayd: Blessed be thou my sonne, in the Lorde |
[2]qui dixit matri suæ: Mille et centum argenteos, quos separaveras tibi, et super quibus me audiente juraveras, ecce ego habeo, et apud me sunt. Cui illa respondit: Benedictus filius meus Domino. |
| [3]And when he had restored the leuen hundreth syluerlynges to his mother, his mother sayde: I had dedicated the syluer vnto the Lorde of myne hande for thee my sonne, that thou shouldest make a grauen and moulten image: Now therfore I will geue it thee agayne |
[3]Reddidit ergo eos matri suæ, quæ dixerat ei: Consecravi et vovi hoc argentum Domino, ut de manu mea suscipiat filius meus, et faciat sculptile atque conflatile: et nunc trado illud tibi. |
| [4]And when he restored the money vnto his mother, his mother toke two hundreth syluerlynges, and gaue them the founder, which made therof a grauen moulten image, and it was in the house of Micah |
[4]Reddidit igitur eos matri suæ: quæ tulit ducentos argenteos, et dedit eos argentario, ut faceret ex eis sculptile atque conflatile, quod fuit in domo Michæ. |
| [5]And the man Micah had an house of goddes, and made an Ephod and Theraphim, and consecrated one of his sonnes, which became his prieste |
[5]Qui ædiculam quoque in ea deo separavit, et fecit ephod, et theraphim, id est, vestem sacerdotalem, et idola: implevitque unius filiorum suorum manum, et factus est ei sacerdos. |
| [6]In those dayes there was no kyng in Israel, but euery man dyd that which was good in his owne eyes |
[6]In diebus illis non erat rex in Israël, sed unusquisque quod sibi rectum videbatur, hoc faciebat. |
| [7]And there was a young man out of Bethlehem Iuda, of the kynred of Iuda, which young man was a Leuite, & soiourned there |
[7]Fuit quoque alter adolescens de Bethlehem Juda, ex cognatione ejus: eratque ipse Levites, et habitabat ibi. |
| [8]And the man departed out of the citie of Bethlehem Iuda, to go dwell where he coulde fynde [a conuenient place]: And he came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah as he iourneyed |
[8]Egressusque de civitate Bethlehem, peregrinari voluit ubicumque sibi commodum reperisset. Cumque venisset in montem Ephraim, iter faciens, et declinasset parumper in domum Michæ, |
| [9]And Micah sayde vnto him: Whence comest thou? The Leuite aunswered hym: I am of Bethlehem Iuda, and go to dwell where I may fynde [a place] |
[9]interrogatus est ab eo under venisset. Qui respondit: Levita sum de Bethlehem Juda, et vado ut habitem ubi potuero, et utile mihi esse perspexero. |
| [10]And Micah sayde agayne vnto hym: Dwell with me, and be vnto me a father and a prieste, and I will geue thee ten syluerlynges by yere, two garmentes, and thy meate and dryncke. So the Leuite went in |
[10]Dixitque Michas: Mane apud me, et esto mihi parens ac sacerdos: daboque tibi per annos singulos decem argenteos, ac vestem duplicem, et quæ ad victum sunt necessaria. |
| [11]And ye Leuite was content to dwell with the man, and was vnto hym as one of his owne sonnes |
[11]Acquievit, et mansit apud hominem, fuitque illi quasi unus de filiis. |
| [12]And Micah consecrated the Leuite, & the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah |
[12]Implevitque Michas manum ejus, et habuit puerum sacerdotem apud se: |
| [13]Then sayde Micah: Now I am sure that the Lord will be good vnto me, seing I haue a Leuite to my prieste |
[13]Nunc scio, dicens, quod benefaciet mihi Deus habenti Levitici generis sacerdotem. |
