| 1 | Il y avait un homme de la montagne d'Éphraïm, nommé Mica. | And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah. | And there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah. |
| 2 | Il dit à sa mère : Les mille et cent sicles d'argent qu'on t'a pris, et pour lesquels tu as fait des imprécations même à mes oreilles, voici, cet argent est entre mes mains, c'est moi qui l'avais pris. Et sa mère dit : Béni soit mon fils par l'Éternel ! | 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. | 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 Jehovah. |
| 3 | Il rendit à sa mère les mille et cent sicles d'argent ; et sa mère dit : Je consacre de ma main cet argent à l'Éternel, afin d'en faire pour mon fils une image taillée et une image en fonte ; et c'est ainsi que je te le rendrai. | 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. | And he restored the eleven hundred [pieces] of silver to his mother; and his mother said, I verily dedicate the silver unto Jehovah from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee. |
| 4 | Il rendit à sa mère l'argent. Sa mère prit deux cents sicles d'argent. Et elle donna l'argent au fondeur, qui en fit une image taillée et une image en fonte. On les plaça dans la maison de Mica. | 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. | 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. |
| 5 | Ce Mica avait une maison de Dieu ; il fit un éphod et des théraphim, et il consacra l'un de ses fils, qui lui servit de prêtre. | 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. | And 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 ce temps-là, il n'y avait point de roi en Israël. Chacun faisait ce qui lui semblait bon. | In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes. | In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. |
| 7 | Il y avait un jeune homme de Bethléhem de Juda, de la famille de Juda ; il était Lévite, et il séjournait là. | And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there. | And there was a young man out of Beth-lehem-judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite; and he sojourned there. |
| 8 | Cet homme partit de la ville de Bethléhem de Juda, pour chercher une demeure qui lui convînt. En poursuivant son chemin, il arriva dans la montagne d'Éphraïm jusqu'à la maison de Mica. | 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. | And the man departed out of the city, out of Beth-lehem-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. |
| 9 | Mica lui dit : D'où viens-tu ? Il lui répondit : Je suis Lévite, de Bethléhem de Juda, et je voyage pour chercher une demeure qui me convienne. | 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. | And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Beth-lehem-judah, and I go to sojourn where I may find [a place]. |
| 10 | Mica lui dit : Reste avec moi ; tu me serviras de père et de prêtre, et je te donnerai dix sicles d'argent par année, les vêtements dont tu auras besoin, et ton entretien. Et le Lévite entra. | 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. | 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. |
| 11 | Il se décida ainsi à rester avec cet homme, qui regarda le jeune homme comme l'un de ses fils. | And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons. | And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons. |
| 12 | Mica consacra le Lévite, et ce jeune homme lui servit de prêtre et demeura dans sa maison. | And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. | And Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. |
| 13 | Et Mica dit : Maintenant, je sais que l'Éternel me fera du bien, puisque j'ai ce Lévite pour prêtre. | Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest. | Then said Micah, Now know I that Jehovah will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest. |
