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 Judah by the word of the LORD unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn 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 against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD: Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall they burn 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 is the sign which 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 it came to pass, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Beth-el, that Jeroboam put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not 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 poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by 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 answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the favour of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God entreated the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored him again, and 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 unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
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 said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I 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 was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Thou shalt eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that thou camest.
10 Kamano nokawo yo machielo mine ok odok gi yo mane obirogo Bethel.
So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el.
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 there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them also they told unto their father.
12 Wuon-gi nopenjogi niya, “Noluwo yo mane?” To yawuote nonyise yo mane ngʼat Nyasaye moa Juda noluwo.
And their father said unto them, What way went he? Now his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.
13 Kamano nowacho ni yawuote niya, “Gawnauru punda.” Kane gisegawone punda, noidhe
And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon.
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 he went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.
15 Kamano janabi nowachone niya, “Wadhi dala mondo ichiem.”
Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
16 Ngʼat Nyasayeno nowacho niya, “Ok anyal lokora ma adog kodi dala kata chiemo kata modho pi kodi ka.
And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
17 Osenyisa kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye ni, ‘Kik ichiem kata kik imodh pi kanyo kata idog gi yo mane ibirogo.’”
for it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
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.
And he said unto him, I also am a prophet as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. [But] he lied unto him.
19 Kamano ngʼat Nyasaye noduogo kode mochiemo kendo metho e ode.
So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
20 Kane gibedo e mesa gichiemo, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ni janabi moticha mane odwogo chien.
And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto 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 unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast been disobedient unto the mouth of 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.’”
but camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place of the which he said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
23 Kane ngʼat Nyasayeno otieko chiemo kendo metho, janabi mane odwoge chienno nogawone pundane.
And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, [to wit], 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 met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it; the lion also stood by the carcase.
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 passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told it in the city where the 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 the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the mouth of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.
27 Janabi nowachone yawuote niya, “Gawnauru punda kendo negitimo kamano.”
And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they 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 went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn 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 carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and he came to the city of the old prophet, to mourn, and to bury him.
30 Eka noketo ringreno e kar bure owuon mi giywage kagiwacho niya, “Yaye, owadwa!”
And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, [saying], Alas, my brother!
31 Bangʼ yike nowacho ni yawuote niya, “Katho to ikauru e bur kama oyikie ngʼat Nyasayeni; keturu chokena but chokene.
And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then 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 the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
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 this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again from among all the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places.
34 Ma e richo mar od Jeroboam mane omiyo opodho kendo kelone kethruok e wangʼ piny.
And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
