uMika ezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi
1Kwakukhona umuntu wasezintabeni zakwa-Efrayimi ogama lakhe linguMika;
2Wathi kunina: “Izinhlamvu eziyishumi nekhulu zesiliva ezathathwa kuwe, owaziqalekisa, wakhuluma ngazo ezindlebeni zami, bheka, leyo mali ikimi; Ngayithatha. Unina wathi: “Mawubusiswe nguJehova, ndodana yami!
3Lapho ebuyisela amashekeli esiliva ayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu nekhulu kunina, unina wathi: “Ngingcwelise ngokuphelele isiliva kuJehova esandleni sami ukuze ngenzele indodana yami isithombe esibaziweyo nesithombe esibunjiweyo; lokhu ngawe.
4Kodwa wayibuyisela imali kunina; unina wathatha amashekeli angamakhulu amabili esiliva, wawanika umkhandi, owenza ngawo isithombe esibaziweyo nesithombe esibunjiweyo; lalisendlini kaMika.
5Umuntu uMika wayenendlu yawonkulunkulu, wenza indwangu yamahlombe nezithixo zendlu, wangcwelisa enye yamadodana ayo ukuba abe ngumpristi wayo.
6Ngalezo zinsuku kwakungekho nkosi kwa-Israyeli, kodwa yilowo nalowo wenza okulungile emehlweni akhe.
7Kwakukhona insizwa yaseBetlehema Juda yesizwe sakwaJuda, engumLevi, yahlala khona njengowezizwe.
8Lowo muntu wasuka emzini waseBetlehema Juda ukuba agogobale njengowezizwe lapho engathola khona indawo;
9UMika wathi kuye: “Uvelaphi na?” Wathi kuye: “Mina ngingumLevi waseBetlehema Juda, ngisaya ukugogobala, lapho engingathola khona indawo.”
10UMika wayesethi kuye: “Hlala nami, ube ngubaba nompristi wami, ngikunike amashekeli ayishumi esiliva ngomnyaka, nengubo nokudla kwakho. Ngakho umLevi wangena.
11UmLevi wavuma ukuhlala nalowo muntu; insizwa yaba njengenye yamadodana akhe kuye.
12UMika wangcwelisa umLevi; insizwa yaba ngumpristi wayo, isendlini kaMika.
13Wayesethi uMika: “Manje ngiyazi ukuthi uJehova uyakungenzela okuhle, ngokuba nginomLevi ongumpristi wami.”
