Behold, a man of God came out of Judah by the LORD’s word to Bethel; and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.

He cried against the altar by the LORD’s word, and said, “Altar! Altar! The LORD 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.’”

He gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which the LORD has spoken: Behold, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out.”

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 Hiche pettah chun maicham chu ahung lengkeh jengin, Pathen mipan aseibang bangin maicham sunga kon chun vutvam jouse chu ahung kibo lhan ahi.
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 the LORD’s word.
6 Lengpa chu Pathen mipa kom’a hung peng jah jengin, “Pakai na Pathen heng’a ka khut adamthei na dingin nei taopeh tan,” ati. Hichun Pathen mipa chu Pakai kom’a atao tan ahile Lengpa khut chu adamhel jengin achat le theitan ahi.
The king answered the man of God, “Now intercede for the favour of the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again.” The man of God interceded with the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored to him again, and became as it was before.
7 Hichun Lengpan Pathen mipa kom a chun, “Hungin ka in lang’a che hi tin, an hung nen lang kipa thilpeh jong nape ing’e,” ati.
The king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”
8 Pathen mipan Lengpa kom achun, “Na lenggam akeh khat neipeh ding hi jong leh nang toh kilhon khom pong’e, keiman hiche mun’a hi nehle chah kahol lou ding ahi,
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 Ajeh chu Pakai Pathen in, nangman hiche munna naum laisea neh le chah nahol lou ding chuleh hiche lampi mama a hi Judah gam mun na hung kile kit ding ahi, tin athupeh einei jin ahi,” ati.
for so was it commanded me by the LORD’s word, saying, ‘You shall eat no bread, drink no water, and don’t return by the way that you came.’”
10 Hijeh chun aman Bethel adalhan lam chom aho in ainlang ajon tan ahi.
So he went another way, and didn’t return by the way that he came to Bethel.
11 Hichepet hin Bethel muna chun themgao tehse khat ana cheng in, chuin achapate chu ainmun’u ahunglhun phat in, Bethel a Pathen mipan athilbol ho chu ana seipeh tan ahi. Chuleh hiche Lengpa kom’a a thusei ho jong chu a seipeh un ahi.
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 Hichun tehsepu chun, “Hoilang che tantem?” tin adong in ahi leh, amahon Pathen mipan hoiche lang pen aho ham tichu apao chu ana seipeh un ahi.
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.

He said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.

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 Hichun aman Pathen mipa koma chun, “Hung in ka in ah bu hung nen,” ati.
Then he said to him, “Come home with me and eat bread.”
16 Aman a donbut in, “Ahipoi kei hung thei pong’e, keima hiche mun’a hi anneh tuidon bol thei pong’e,
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 Ajeh chu Pakaiyin hiche munna naum laisen anneh tuidon nabol lou ding ahi, chu leh na hungna lampi hi mang cha a nahung kile theilou ding ahi, tin ei sei peh in ahi,” ati.
For it was said to me by the LORD’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 Ahin tehsepun adonbut in, “Kei jong themgao khat kahi, Pakaiya konin vantil khat in hiche thupeh hi ei hinpen, ama chu na in’a pui inlang an nehsah in tui donsah in eiti,” ati. Amavang tehsepu chun ajou asei ahi.
He said to him, “I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the LORD’s word, saying, ‘Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’” He lied to him.
19 Hiti chun akinungle lhontan, Pathen mipan tehsepu in achun an anen, tui adon tan ahi.
So he went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
20 Hitia chu amani atou khompet lhon chun Pakaija konin Themgao tehsepu kom achun thupeh khat ahung lhung tan ahile,
As they sat at the table, the LORD’s word came to the prophet who brought him back;
21 Ama jong Judahh a kona hung Pathen mipa koma chun apeng jah in, “Nangin Pakai thupeh chu na sukeh’in, Pakai na Pathen in thu napeh dungjui jin na chon tapoi.
and he cried out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have been disobedient to the LORD’s word, and have not kept the commandment which the LORD your God commanded you,
22 Hilai munna na hung kilen, na nen, na don in, ne hih in don hih in kati chu na sumil tai. Hiti ahiyeh chun, natahsa hi napu napate lupna a kivuilou ding ahitai,” ati.
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 Pathen mipan aneh a adon jouvin Themgao tehsepu chun ama sangan chunga chun toupha apha dohpeh in,
After he had eaten bread and after he drank, he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
24 Hichun Pathen mipa chu akipatdoh tan ahi. Hitia chu inlam jona ache laitah in, humpi khat atoh khan athat tan ahi. Atahsa chu lamlen chung ah akijamin, sangan le humpi chu ana ding khom lhonin ahi.
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 Mi phabep in along lampia kijam le akoma sakei ding atoh khauvin, hichun Themgao tehsepu umna Bethel geiyin acheuvin athilmu u chu aga seipeh tauve.
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 Themgao tehsepu chun athu ajahdoh phat’in, “Hiche Pathen mipa hin, Pathen thupeh anit lou ahin, Pakaiyin keipi chu athasah’a athusei chu asuh bulhit ahi tai,” atin ahi.
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 the LORD’s word. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke to him.”
27 Themgaopa luipan chun achate kom’ah, “Sangan chung’a chun toupha hin koijun,” atin, ahin koipeh phat un,
He said to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they saddled it.
28 Ama ache in, atahsa lamlen chunga lum chu agamu’n, a sangan leh humpi akom’a ana din nah lai vang'in, humpi chun ana nedeh pon chule Sangan jong chu ima ana tipon ahi.
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 Themgaopa chun Pathen mipa tahsa chu a sangan chung’a chun akoijin, khopi lang a chun along op dingin ahin pon ahi.
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 Aman lhan’ah avui in, lhase tah in akap in “Vo ka sopipa,” atin ahi.
He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, “Alas, my brother!”
31 Hichejou chun Themgao pa chun achate kom’ah, “Keima ka thi teng leh Pathen mipa kivuina lhan ah hin nei hin vui uvin lang, kagu hi ama gu panga hin lupsah un,” ati.
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 “Ajeh chu Pakaiyin Samaria khopi sung’a khopi holah a ki semdoh semthu pathen houna maicham leh Bethel maicham douna Pakaiyin ana phondohsa chu guilhung tei ding hija ahi,” ati.
For the saying which he cried by the LORD’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 Ahivang in hitobang thilsoh nung jengin jong, Jeroboam in athilse bolna a konin akihei mangdeh pon ahi. Aman milham lah a konin Thempu ana lheng jing nalaiyin ahi. Semthu pathen houna doiphung’a thempu dingin apang nom jouse anapan sah jengin ahi.
After this thing, Jeroboam didn’t turn from his evil way, but again made priests of the high places from amongst all the people. Whoever wanted to, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places.
34 Hiche hi chonset nasatah ahung hitan chule Jeroboam chilhah ho leiset chunga konin suhmang in aumlo tan ahi.
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.
