1 Siangpahrang 13
1 Angbawnhaih sak hanah Jeroboam hmaicam pongah angdoet naah, Angraeng ih lok baktih toengah, Sithaw kami maeto loe Judah prae hoiah Bethel ah angzoh.
Behold, a man of God came out of Judah by Yahweh’s word to Bethel; and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.
2 To kami loe Angraeng ih lok baktih toengah, Aw hmaicam, hmaicam; Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Khenah, Josiah tiah ahmin kaom, caa nongpa maeto David imthung takoh ah tapen tih; anih mah na nuiah hmuihoih thlaek hmuensang ih qaimanawk to angbawnhaih ah paek ueloe, na nuiah kami ahuhnawk to hmai hoiah thlaek tih, tiah a naa.
He cried against the altar by Yahweh’s word, and said, “Altar! Altar! Yahweh says: ‘Behold, a son will be born to David’s house, Josiah by name. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men’s bones on you.’”
3 To na niah Sithaw kami mah angmathaih to paek, Hae loe Angraeng mah thuih ih angmathaih ah oh, Khenah, hmaicam to koi phom ueloe, a nui ih maiphunawk to takhoek boih tih, tiah a naa.
He gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which Yahweh has spoken: Behold, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out.”
4 Bethel vangpui ih hmaicam taeng hoi Sithaw kami hanghaih lok to Jeroboam siangpahrang mah thaih naah, hmaicam hoiah ban payangh moe, Anih to naeh oh; tiah a naa. Toe anih mah payangh ih ban to duek pae moe, a zuk let thai ai boeh.
When the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!” His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to himself.
5 Angraeng ih lok rang hoiah Sithaw kami mah paek ih angmathaih baktih toengah, hmaicam to koih phom moe, maiphunawk doeh anghaeh phang.
The altar was also split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by Yahweh’s word.
6 To naah siangpahrang mah Sithaw kami khaeah, Ka ban hae hoih let thai hanah, na Angraeng Sithaw khaeah tahmenhnikhaih lawk na thui paeh, tiah a naa. To pongah Angraeng ih kami mah Angraeng khaeah tahmenhaih hnik pae let; to naah siangpahrang ih ban to hoih pae, hmaloe ih baktiah oh let.
The king answered the man of God, “Now intercede for the favor of Yahweh your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again.” The man of God interceded with Yahweh, and the king’s hand was restored to him again, and became as it was before.
7 Siangpahrang mah Sithaw kami khaeah, Kai hoi nawnto im ah angzo ah loe, caaknaek koi hmuen maeto caa raeh, tangqum kang paek han, tiah a naa.
The king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”
8 Toe Sithaw kami mah siangpahrang khaeah, Na im ahap nang paek langlacadoeh, nang khaeah kang zo mak ai; hae ah buh ka caa mak ai, tui doeh ka nae mak ai;
The man of God said to the king, “Even if you gave me half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither would I eat bread nor drink water in this place;
9 Angraeng ih lok mah, Buh na caa mak ai, tui doeh na nae mak ai ueloe, nang zohhaih loklam hoiah doeh nam laem let mak ai, tiah thuih, tiah siangpahrang khaeah a thuih pae.
for so was it commanded me by Yahweh’s word, saying, ‘You shall eat no bread, drink no water, and don’t return by the way that you came.’”
10 To pongah anih loe loklam kalah bang hoiah caeh, angzohhaih loklam Bethel hoiah amlaem let ai.
So he went another way, and didn’t return by the way that he came to Bethel.
11 Bethel ah tahmaa mitong maeto oh; tahmaa ih caanawk loe to na niah Sithaw kami mah sak ih hmuennawk hoi siangpahrang khaeah thuih pae ih loknawk to, ampa khaeah thuih pae o boih.
Now an old prophet lived in Bethel, and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
12 To naah ampa mah a caanawk khaeah, Anih loe naa bang ih loklam ah maw caeh? tiah a naa; Judah prae hoiah angzo Sithaw kami amlaemhaih loklam to a hnuk o pongah, a caanawk mah ampa khaeah thuih pae o.
Their father said to them, “Which way did he go?” Now his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
13 To pongah anih mah a caanawk khaeah, Laa hrang na paek oh, tiah a naa. To pongah a caanawk mah anih hanah Laa hrang to paek o moe, angthueng o sak,
He said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.
14 Sithaw kami hnukah a caeh, oak thing tahlip ah kanghnu anih to hnuk naah, anih khaeah, Nang loe Judah prae hoiah angzo Sithaw ih kami maw? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Ue, tiah pathim pae.
He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. He said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” He said, “I am.”
15 To naah tahmaaa mah anih khaeah, Ka hnukah im ah angzoh loe, caeknaek koi hmuen maeto caa raeh, tiah a naa.
Then he said to him, “Come home with me and eat bread.”
16 Sithaw kami mah, Na hnukah angzoh hanah kam laem let mak ai, takaw doeh ka caa mak ai ueloe, hae ah tui doeh ka nae mak ai.
He said, “I may not return with you, nor go in with you. I will not eat bread or drink water with you in this place.
17 Angraeng ih lok mah, To ah takaw na caa mak ai, tui doeh na nae mak ai ueloe, na caehhaih loklam hoiah doeh nam laem let mak ai, tiah ang thuih, tiah a naa.
For it was said to me by Yahweh’s word, ‘You shall eat no bread or drink water there, and don’t turn again to go by the way that you came.’”
18 Tahmaaa mitong mah, Kai doeh nang baktih tahmaaa maeto toeng ni, Angraeng ih lok baktih toengah van kaminawk mah kai khaeah, To kami to nangmah im ah amlaemsak let ah, takaw to caa nasoe loe, tui doeh nae nasoe, tiah ang thuih, tiah a naa. Toe anih mah amsawnlok ni a thuih pae.
He said to him, “I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by Yahweh’s word, saying, ‘Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’” He lied to him.
19 To pongah Sithaw kami loe anih hnukah amlaem let moe, anih im ah caak pacoengah, tui doeh a naek.
So he went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
20 Caboi pongah anghnut hoi li naah, anih amlaem let haih tahmaa mitong khaeah Angraeng ih lok to angzoh;
As they sat at the table, Yahweh’s word came to the prophet who brought him back;
21 anih mah Judah prae hoi angzo Sithaw kami khaeah, Angraeng mah hae tiah thuih; Angraeng ih lok to na aek moe, na Angraeng Sithaw mah ang paek ih lok to na pazui ai,
and he cried out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Yahweh says, ‘Because you have been disobedient to Yahweh’s word, and have not kept the commandment which Yahweh your God commanded you,
22 nam laem let moe, Angraeng mah caak moe, naek han om ai, tiah thuih ih ahmuen ah takaw na caak moe, tui na naek pongah, na qok to nam panawk ih taprong ah aphum o mak ai, tiah a thuih pae.
but came back, and have eaten bread and drank water in the place of which he said to you, “Eat no bread, and drink no water,” your body will not come to the tomb of your fathers.’”
23 Kamlaem let Sithaw kami loe buhcaak moe, tuinaek pacoengah, amlaem let han kathui tahmaa mitong mah Judah ih tahmaa hanah hrang to paek.
After he had eaten bread and after he drank, he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
24 Loklam ah anih to kaipui mah hmaang moe, kaek maat; a qok to loklam ah suek sut, hrang hoi kaipui loe a taengah angdoet hoi.
When he had gone, a lion met him by the way and killed him. His body was thrown on the path, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.
25 To ah caeh kaminawk mah vah sut ih, kadueh qok taengah kangdoe kaipui to a hnuk o naah, caeh o moe, vangpui thung kaom, tahmaa mitong khaeah thuih pae o.
Behold, men passed by and saw the body thrown on the path, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
26 Loklam hoi Sithaw kami amlaem haih let, tahmaa mitong mah to lok to thaih naah, anih loe Angraeng ih lok aek kami ni, Angraeng mah anih to kaipui khaeah paek, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, anih loe kaipui mah kaek moe, hum boeh, tiah a thuih.
When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, “It is the man of God who was disobedient to Yahweh’s word. Therefore Yahweh has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to Yahweh’s word which he spoke to him.”
27 Tahmaa mah a caanawk khaeah, Laa hrang to hnik, to pongah nihcae mah laa hrang to angthueng o sak.
He said to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they saddled it.
28 A caeh naah loklam ah vah sut ih qok to hnuk; hrang hoi kaipui loe a taengah angdoet hoi; kaipui mah kami qok to caa ai, Laa hrang doeh kaek ai.
He went and found his body thrown on the path, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body nor mauled the donkey.
29 Tahmaa mah Sithaw kami ih qok to lak moe, hrang nuiah thuengh pacoengah, angmah avang ah amlaem haih let; anih to qah haih moe, taprong ah aphum.
The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. He came to the city of the old prophet to mourn, and to bury him.
30 Sithaw kami ih qok to angmah ih taprong ah aphum pacoengah, Aw, kam nawk, tiah a qah haih.
He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, “Alas, my brother!”
31 Anih to aphum pacoengah a caanawk khaeah, Ka duek naah, Sithaw kaminawk aphumhaih taprong ah na phum oh loe, anih ih ahuh taengah ka huh hae suem oh;
After he had buried him, he spoke to his sons, saying, “When I am dead, bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones.
32 Bethel vangpui ih hmaicam hoi Samaria vangpui hmuensang ah kaom im kawng loe, Sithaw mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah akoep tih, tiah a naa.
For the saying which he cried by Yahweh’s word against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely happen.”
33 To tiah oh pacoeng naah doeh Jeroboam loe a sak ih kahoih ai loklam hoiah amkhrai ai, kami rumramnawk to hmuensang ih qaima ah a suek let; qaima toksak han koeh kaminawk boih to hmuensang ah qaima toksakhaih to a paek.
After this thing, Jeroboam didn’t turn from his evil way, but again made priests of the high places from among all the people. Whoever wanted to, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places.
34 Hae hmuen loe Jeroboam imthung takoh zaehaih ah oh moe, to tiah sak pongah Jeroboam ih acaeng to long pum hoi tahmaat boih hanah zaehaih ah angcoengsak.
This thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off and to destroy it from off the surface of the earth.
