1 Siangpahrang 13
1 Jeroboam teh hmuitui hmaisawi hanelah khoungroe teng a kangdue navah, Cathut e tami buet touh teh Bawipa e lawk patetlah Judah ram lahoi Bethel kho vah a tho.
Then a man of God came from Judah by the order of the Lord to Beth-el, where Jeroboam was by the altar, burning offerings.
2 BAWIPA e lawk patetlah khoungroe koe hram laihoi, Oe khoungroe, khoungroe, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Devit imthung dawk e Josiah a min kâphung e a khe han. Nange lathueng hmuitui hmaisawi vaiteh, hmuen rasang koe vaihma thaw katawknaw hah ahni ni na lathueng thuengnae a thueng vaiteh, tami kadout e hrunaw hah hmai a sawi han ati telah ati.
And by the order of the Lord he made an outcry against the altar, saying, O altar, altar, the Lord has said, From the seed of David will come a child, named Josiah, and on you he will put to death the priests of the high places, who are burning offerings on you, and men's bones will be burned on you.
3 Hote hnin dawkvah, mitnoutnae a poe teh, BAWIPA ni a dei e mitnoutnae hateh, khoungroe a tip roeroe han. Khoungroe e van kaawm e hraba hah koung a yut han telah ati.
The same day he gave them a sign, saying, This is the sign which the Lord has given: See, the altar will be broken and the burned waste on it overturned.
4 Hottelah Cathut e tami ni, Bethel kho e khoungroe dawk a hram e hah Jeroboam siangpahrang ni a thai toteh, khoungroe dawk hoi a kut a kâyap teh man awh telah ati. A man nahanlah a kâyap e kut hah a kamkhuen teh a kut bout lat thai hoeh toe.
Then the king, hearing the man of God crying out against the altar at Beth-el, put out his hand from the altar, saying, Take him prisoner. And his hand, stretched out against him, became dead, and he had no power of pulling it back.
5 Cathut e tami ni BAWIPA e a lawk a poe e patetlah mitnoutnae hoi kâvan lah khoungroe a tip teh, hraba hai khoungroe dawk hoi he a yut.
And the altar was broken and the burned waste on it overturned; this was the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the Lord.
6 Siangpahrang ni ka kut bout a dam thai nahanelah kai hane ratoum nateh, na BAWIPA Cathut e hmalah, pahrennae het haw atipouh. Cathut e tami ni BAWIPA koe a hei pouh navah, siangpahrang e kut teh bout a dam. Ahmaloe e boiboe lah bout ao.
Then the king made answer and said to the man of God, Make a prayer now for the grace of the Lord your God, and for me, that my hand may be made well. And in answer to the prayer of the man of God, the king's hand was made well again, as it was before.
7 Siangpahrang ni Cathut e tami koe, kai koe tho nateh na thapatho, tawkphu na poe han telah atipouh.
And the king said to the man of God, Come with me to my house for food and rest, and I will give you a reward.
8 Cathut e tami ni siangpahrang koevah, na im tangawn na ka poe nakunghai nang koe ka tho mahoeh. Hete hmuen dawk vaiyei hoi tui hai ka net mahoeh.
But the man of God said to the king, Even if you gave me half of all you have, I would not go in with you, and I would not take food or a drink of water in this place;
9 BAWIPA e lawk ni vaiyei cat hanh, tui hai net hanh. Na thonae lam dawk hoi ban han telah kai koe lawk na poe toe telah siangpahrang koe a dei pouh.
For so I was ordered by the word of the Lord, who said, You are not to take food or a drink of water, and you are not to go back the way you came.
10 Bethel lam lahoi a thonae lam hah a roun teh, alouke lae lam lahoi a ban.
So he went another way, and not by the way he came to Beth-el.
11 Hatnae tueng dawkvah, Bethel kho vah, profet matawng buet touh ao. A capanaw a tho awh teh, hot hnin vah Cathut tami ni Bethel kho a sak e pueng hah a dei pouh. Siangpahrang koe a dei pouh e hai a na pa koe a dei pouh.
Now there was an old prophet living in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and gave him word of all the man of God had done that day in Beth-el, and they gave their father an account of the words he had said to the king.
12 Judah ram lahoi ka tho e Cathut e tami teh, na lae lam dawk hoi maw a cei tie a panue awh dawkvah, a na pa ni ahni na lae lam dawk hoi maw a cei tie a pacei.
Then their father said to them, Which way did he go? Now his sons had seen which way the man of God who came from Judah had gone.
13 A capanaw koe vah la hah, hni padoun haw ati e patetlah a canaw ni hni a padoun pouh teh a kâcui.
So the prophet said to his sons, Make ready an ass for me. So they made an ass ready, and he got on it,
14 Cathut e tami hah a pâlei. Kathen e rahim a tahung e a hmu nah nang teh Judah ram lahoi na ka tho e Cathut e tami maw telah a pacei. Oe kai doeh atipouh.
And went after the man of God, and came up with him while he was seated under an oak-tree. And he said to him, Are you the man of God who came from Judah? And he said, I am.
15 Profet ni kai hoi rei cei roi han, ka im totouh kâbang nateh, vaiyei hai cat loe telah a coun.
Then he said to him, Come back to the house with me and have a meal.
16 Kai teh nang hoi rei ka cet mahoeh. Na im dawk ka kâen mahoeh. Hie hmuen dawk vaiyei ka cat mahoeh, tui hai ka net mahoeh.
But he said, I may not go back with you or go into your house; and I will not take food or a drink of water with you in this place;
17 BAWIPA ni hote a hmuen koe, vaiyei cat hanh, tui net hanh, na thonae lam dawk hoi ban hanh loe kai koe na dei pouh telah ati.
For the Lord said to me, You are not to take food or water there, or go back again by the way you came.
18 Profet ni kai hai nang patetlah profet lah ka o. Nang teh vaiyei na ca vaiteh, tui na nei sak nahanelah nang ka im dawk na coun nahanelah, kalvantami ni BAWIPA e a lawk lahoi na dei pouh toe telah laithoe sin teh a dei pouh.
Then he said to him, I am a prophet like you; and an angel said to me by the word of the Lord, Take him back with you and give him food and water. But he said false words to him.
19 Cathut e tami teh, profet hoi a ban roi teh, a im dawk vaiyei a ca teh tui hai a nei.
So he went back with him, and had a meal in his house and a drink of water.
20 Caboi dawk rei a tahung roi nah, ka ban khai e profet koevah, BAWIPA e lawk a pha.
But while they were seated at the table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had taken him back;
21 Judah ram lahoi ka tho e Cathut e tami koe BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. BAWIPA e lawk dei e na tarawi hoeh. BAWIPA Cathut e kâpoe e na ngai hoeh.
And crying out to the man of God who came from Judah, he said, The Lord says, Because you have gone against the voice of the Lord, and have not done as you were ordered by the Lord,
22 Hie hmuen koe vaiyei cat hanh, tui net hanh telah lawk na poe e hmuen koe vaiyei na ca teh, tui na nei dawkvah, na ro heh na mintoenaw e tangkom koe phat mahoeh telah a pâpho.
But have come back, and have taken food and water in this place where he said you were to take no food or water; your dead body will not be put to rest with your fathers.
23 Vaiyei hoi tui a canei hnukkhu, hote profet ni ka ban e profet hanelah amae la hah hni a padoun pouh teh a cei sak.
Now after the meal he made ready the ass for him, for the prophet whom he had taken back.
24 Lam vah Sendek a kâhmo teh, a kei. A ro teh lam dawk a yan. Sendek hoi la teh a teng vah a kangdue.
And he went on his way; but on the road a lion came rushing at him and put him to death; and his dead body was stretched in the road with the ass by its side, and the lion was there by the body.
25 A ro teh lam dawk a yan teh Sendek hoi la teh a teng vah a kangdue pouh e kahlawng ka cet e ni a hmu nah, ka matawng e profet koe a cei teh a dei pouh.
And some men, going by, saw the body stretched out in the road with the lion by its side; and they came and gave news of it in the town where the old prophet was living.
26 La hoi ka bankhai e profet ni hote lawk a thai toteh, Cathut e tami BAWIPA e lawk ka ngai hoeh e han doeh. Hatdawkvah, BAWIPA ni ahni koe a dei pouh e a lawk patetlah BAWIPA ni Sendek koe a poe teh, vekrasen lah a hruek, a thei tayaw telah ati.
Then the prophet who had made him come back, hearing it, said, It is the man of God, who went against the word of the Lord; that is why the Lord has given him to the lion to be wounded to death, as the Lord said.
27 A capanaw koe la hni na padoun pouh awh atipouh e patetlah a padoun pouh awh.
And he said to his sons, Make ready the ass for me. And they did so.
28 A cei teh lam dawk ka yan e a ro hoi a teng kangdout e sendek hah a hmu. Sendek ni a ro la cat hoeh rah. La hai runae poe hoeh rah.
And he went and saw the dead body stretched out in the road with the ass and the lion by its side: the lion had not taken the body for its food or done any damage to the ass.
29 Profet ni Cathut e tami e a ro hah a kayo teh la van a phu teh a bankhai. Profet matawng a onae kho dawk khuikakhai teh, pakawp hanelah a ma kho lah a ceikhai.
Then the prophet took up the body of the man of God and put it on the ass and took it back; and he came to the town to put the body to rest with weeping.
30 A ro teh amae tangkom dawk a pakawp teh, Oe ka nawngha telah a khuikakhai awh.
And he put the body in the resting-place made ready for himself, weeping and sorrowing over it, saying, O my brother!
31 A pakawp hnukkhu a canaw koevah, ka due toteh Cathut e tami pakawpnae tangkom dawk na pakawp awh. A hru teng vah kaie hru hai tat awh.
And when he had put it to rest, he said to his sons, When I am dead, then you are to put my body into the earth with the body of this man of God, and put me by his bones so that my bones may be kept safe with his bones.
32 Bethel kho khoungroe hoi Samaria kho ram dawk e hmuenrasang koe sak e imnaw a vang lah Cathut e a lawk patetlah ka hram e lawk teh a kuep katang han telah ati.
For the outcry he made by the word of the Lord against the altar in Beth-el and against all the houses of the high places in the towns of Samaria, will certainly come about.
33 Hathnukkhu Jeroboam ni amae lamthung kahawihoehe roun hoeh. Hmuenrasang koe tami rumramnaw vaihmanaw lah bout a hruek. Vaihma tawk hane ka ngai e pueng a tawmrasang teh, ahnimouh teh hmuenrasang koe vaihma lah ao awh.
After this Jeroboam, not turning back from his evil ways, still made priests for his altars from among all the people; he made a priest of anyone desiring it, so that there might be priests of the high places.
34 Hottelah a sak dawkvah, Jeroboam catoun hah talai dawk hoi koung ka mit sak hane hoi kong ka raphoenae yon teh a pha.
And this became a sin in the family of Jeroboam, causing it to be cut off and sent to destruction from the face of the earth.
