1 Ruodhi 13
1 Kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye, ngʼat Nyasaye nobiro koa Juda modhi Bethel e kinde mane Jeroboam ochungʼ e but kendo mar misango mondo ochiw misango.
And behold there came a man of God out of Juda, by the word of the Lord to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing upon the altar, and burning incense.
2 Noywak kokwongʼo kendo misangono kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye: “Yaye kendo mar misango! Yaye kendo mar misango! Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, ‘Wuowi miluongo ni Josia ibiro nywol e od Daudi. Kuomi e nochiwe jodolo mag kuonde motingʼore makoro chiwo misengini kuomi, kendo choke dhano ibiro wangʼ kuomi.’”
And he cried out against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said: O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord: Behold a child shall be born to the house of David, Josias by name, and he shall immolate upon thee the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon thee, and he shall burn men’s bones upon thee.
3 Chiengʼ nogono ngʼat Nyasayeno nochiwo ranyisi: “Ma e ranyisi ma Jehova Nyasaye osechiwo: Kendo mar misango biro barore diere ariyo kendo buru man kuome biro pukore oko.”
And he gave a sign the same day, saying: This shall be the sign, that the Lord hath spoken: Behold the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
4 Kane ruoth Jeroboam owinjo kaka ngʼat Nyasayeno noywak kokwongʼo kendo mar misango man Bethel norieyo bade kowuok e kendo mar misango kowacho niya, “Makeuru!” To bade mane orieyono kochomo ngʼat Nyasayeno notal mane ok onyal dole.
And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar in Bethel, he stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying: Lay hold on him. And his hand which he stretched forth against him withered: and he was not able to draw it back again to him.
5 Kendo mar misangono bende nobarore diere ariyo kendo buru mage nopukore oko kaluwore gi ranyisi mane ochiw gi ngʼat Nyasaye kod Wach Jehova Nyasaye.
The altar also was rent, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given before in the word of the Lord.
6 Eka ruoth nowacho ni ngʼat Nyasayeno niya, “Kwana Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi kendo lamna mondo lweta odog kare.” Kamano ngʼat Nyasayeno nokwayone Jehova Nyasaye kendo lwet ruoth nodok kare kaka ne en.
And the king said to the man of God: Entreat the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me. And the man of God besought the face of the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before.
7 Ruoth nowacho ni ngʼat Nyasayeno niya, “Wadhi oda mondo iyud gimoro icham kendo abiro miyi mich.”
And the king said to the man of God: Come home with me to dine, and I will make thee presents.
8 To ngʼat Nyasaye nodwoko ruoth niya, “Kata ne bed mana ni inyalo miya nus mwanduni duto ok anadhi kodi kata chamo chiemo kata modho pi ka.
And the man of God answered the king: If thou wouldst give me half thy house I will not go with thee, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place:
9 Nimar nochika gi wach Jehova Nyasaye ni, ‘Kik ichiem kata modho pi kata dok gi yo mane ibirogo.’”
For so it was enjoined me by the word of the Lord commanding me: Thou shalt not eat bread nor drink water, nor return by the same way that thou camest.
10 Kamano nokawo yo machielo mine ok odok gi yo mane obirogo Bethel.
So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way that he came into Bethel.
11 Koro ne nitie janabi moro moti mane odak Bethel ma yawuote nobiro mowachone duto mane ngʼat Nyasayeno otimo kanyo chiengʼno, bende neginyiso wuon-gi gima nowacho ni ruoth.
Now a certain old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came to him and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: and they told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
12 Wuon-gi nopenjogi niya, “Noluwo yo mane?” To yawuote nonyise yo mane ngʼat Nyasaye moa Juda noluwo.
And their father said to them: What way went he? His sons shewed him the way by which the man of God went, who came out of Juda.
13 Kamano nowacho ni yawuote niya, “Gawnauru punda.” Kane gisegawone punda, noidhe
And he said to his sons: Saddle me the ass. And when they had saddled him, he got up,
14 mi noluwo bangʼ ngʼat Nyasayeno. Noyude kobet e tiend yiend ober mopenje niya, “In e ngʼat Nyasaye mane oa Juda?” Nodwoke niya, “Ee en an.”
And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under a turpentine tree: and he said to him: Art thou the man of God that camest from Juda? He answered: I am.
15 Kamano janabi nowachone niya, “Wadhi dala mondo ichiem.”
And he said to him: Come home with me, to eat bread.
16 Ngʼat Nyasayeno nowacho niya, “Ok anyal lokora ma adog kodi dala kata chiemo kata modho pi kodi ka.
But he said: I must not return, nor go with thee, neither will I eat bread, nor drink water in this place:
17 Osenyisa kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye ni, ‘Kik ichiem kata kik imodh pi kanyo kata idog gi yo mane ibirogo.’”
Because the Lord spoke to me in the word of the Lord, saying: Thou shalt not eat bread, and thou shalt not drink water there, nor return by the way thou wentest.
18 To janabi motino nodwoke niya, “An bende an janabi mana kaka in. Kendo malaika nowuoyo koda gi wach Jehova Nyasaye kawachona ni, ‘Duog kode e odi mondo mi ochiem kendo omodh pi.’” To kata kamano nowuonde.
He said to him: I also am a prophet like unto thee: and an angel spoke to me in the word of the Lord, saying: Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived him,
19 Kamano ngʼat Nyasaye noduogo kode mochiemo kendo metho e ode.
And brought him back with him: so he ate bread and drank water in his house.
20 Kane gibedo e mesa gichiemo, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ni janabi moticha mane odwogo chien.
And as they sat at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet that brought him back:
21 Noywak ne ngʼat Nyasaye mane oa Juda mowacho niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Isedagi winjo wach Jehova Nyasaye kendo ok iserito chik mane Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi omiyi.
And he cried out to the man of God who came out of Juda, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast not been obedient to the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee,
22 Nidwogo chien mi ichamo makati kendo imodho pi kama nowachoni ni kik ichiemie kata modhoe pi. Omiyo ringri ok enoyiki e kar yiko mar kwereni.’”
And hast returned and eaten bread, and drunk water in the place wherein he commanded thee that thou shouldst not eat bread, nor drink water, thy dead body shall not be brought into the sepulchre of thy fathers.
23 Kane ngʼat Nyasayeno otieko chiemo kendo metho, janabi mane odwoge chienno nogawone pundane.
And when he had eaten and drunk, he saddled his ass for the prophet, whom he had brought back.
24 Kane en e yore odhi, sibuor noromo kode e yo monege kendo ringe nowit piny e yo, ka punda kod sibuor ochungʼ bute.
And when he was gone, a lion found him in the way, and killed him, and his body was cast in the way: and the ass stood by him, and the lion stood by the dead body.
25 Jomoko mane kadho machiegni noneno ringreno kowit piny kanyo, ka sibuor ochungʼ but ringruokno kendo negidhi mi gilando wachno e dala mane janabi moticha odakie.
And behold, men passing by saw the dead body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body. And they came and told it in the city, wherein that old prophet dwelt.
26 Kane janabi mane odwoge chien e wuodhe owinjo ma nowacho niya, “En ngʼat Nyasaye mane ochayo wach Nyasaye. Jehova Nyasaye osechiwe ni sibuor mosekidhe kendo onege mana kaka wach Jehova Nyasaye nosesieme.”
And when that prophet, who had brought him back out of the way, heard of it, he said: It is the man of God, that was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord, and the Lord hath delivered him to the lion, and he hath torn him, and killed him according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him.
27 Janabi nowachone yawuote niya, “Gawnauru punda kendo negitimo kamano.”
And he said to his sons: Saddle me an ass. And when they had saddled it,
28 Eka nowuok modhi oyudo ringruokno kowit piny e yo ka punda gi sibuor ochungʼ bute. Sibuor ne ok ochamo ngʼatno kata kidho punda.
And he was gone, he found the dead body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten of the dead body, nor hurt the ass.
29 Kamano janabino nokawo ringre ngʼat Nyasayeno mokete e ngʼe punda kendo nodwoge e dalane mondo oywage kendo oike.
And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and going back brought it into the city of the old prophet, to mourn for him.
30 Eka noketo ringreno e kar bure owuon mi giywage kagiwacho niya, “Yaye, owadwa!”
And he laid his dead body in his own sepulchre: and they mourned over him, saying: Alas! alas! my brother.
31 Bangʼ yike nowacho ni yawuote niya, “Katho to ikauru e bur kama oyikie ngʼat Nyasayeni; keturu chokena but chokene.
And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: When I am dead, bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried: lay my bones beside his bones.
32 Nikech wach mane owacho kuluworegi wach Jehova Nyasaye kuom kendo mar misango man Bethel kendo kwongʼ mane okwongʼogo kuonde duto motingʼore malo mitimoe misango manie dala man Samaria biro chopo kare.”
For assuredly the word shall come to pass which he hath foretold in the word of the Lord against the altar that is in Bethel: and against all the temples of the high places, that are in the cities of Samaria.
33 Kata mana bangʼ ma, Jeroboam ne ok oloko yorene maricho to nomedo yiero jodolo koa kuom ji mopogore opogore mondo oti kuonde motingʼore. Ngʼato angʼata mane dwaro bedo jadolo nowalo ni kuonde motingʼore.
After these words Jeroboam came not back from his wicked way: but on the contrary he made of the meanest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he filled his hand, and he was made a priest of the high places.
34 Ma e richo mar od Jeroboam mane omiyo opodho kendo kelone kethruok e wangʼ piny.
And for this cause did the house of Jeroboam sin, and was cut off and destroyed from the face of the earth.
