1 Kwakukhona-ke umuntu wentabeni yakoEfrayimi ^a, obizo lakhe lalinguMika ^b. 2 Wasesithi kunina: Izinhlamvu zesiliva eziyinkulungwane lekhulu ezathathwa kuwe, owaqalekisa ngazo, njalo wakhuluma endlebeni zami, khangela, leyomali ikimi, mina ngayithatha. Unina wasesithi: Kawubusiswe eNkosini, ndodana yami ^c. 3 Wathi esezibuyisele kunina izinhlamvu eziyinkulungwane lekhulu zesiliva, unina wathi: Ngasengisehlukanisile lokusehlukanisela iNkosi isiliva sami sivela esandleni sami sibe ngesendodana yami, ukuze ngenze isithombe esibaziweyo ^d lesithombe esibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa ^e. Khathesi-ke ngizasibuyisela kuwe. 4 Kodwa wayibuyisela imali kunina. Unina wasethatha izinhlamvu zesiliva ezingamakhulu amabili, wazinika umkhandi ^f, owenza ngazo isithombe esibaziweyo ^g lesithombe esibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa ^h; zasezisiba sendlini kaMika ⁱ. 5 Njalo lowomuntu uMika wayelendlu yabonkulunkulu, wenza i-efodi* ^j lamatherafi ^k, wehlukanisa omunye wamadodana akhe, ukuze abe ngumpristi wakhe. 6 Ngalezonsuku kwakungelankosi koIsrayeli ^l; wonke umuntu wayesenza okwakulungile emehlweni akhe ^m.

7 Njalo kwakukhona ijaha leBhethelehema-Juda ⁿ, elosendo lukaJuda, elalingumLevi, njalo lahlala njengowezizwe khona. 8 Lowomuntu wasesuka emzini, eBhethelehema-Juda, ukuyahlala njengowezizwe lapho ayengathola khona indawo. Wafika entabeni yakoEfrayimi, endlini kaMika ^o, ehamba ngendlela yakhe. 9 UMika wasesithi kuye: Uvela ngaphi? Wasesithi kuye: NgingumLevi weBhethelehema-Juda, ngiya ukuyahlala njengowezizwe lapho engingathola khona indawo. 10 UMika wasesithi kuye: Hlala lami, ube kimi ^p ngubaba lompristi ^q, mina ngizakunika izinhlamvu zesiliva ezilitshumi ngomnyaka ^r, lezigqoko zokugqoka, lokudla kwakho. UmLevi wasengena. 11 UmLevi wavuma ukuhlala lalowomuntu; njalo ijaha laba kuye njengomunye wamadodana akhe ^s. 12 UMika wamehlukanisa umLevi ^t, ijaha laselisiba ngumpristi wakhe ^u, laba sendlini kaMika. 13 UMika wasesithi: Khathesi ngiyazi ukuthi iNkosi izangenzela okuhle, ngoba ngilomLevi ongumpristi.
