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 lo, a man of God hath come from Judah, by the word of Jehovah, unto Beth-El, and Jeroboam is standing by the altar — to make perfume;
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 calleth against the altar, by the word of Jehovah, and saith, 'Altar! altar! thus said Jehovah, Lo, a son is born to the house of David — Josiah his name — and he hath sacrificed on thee the priests of the high places who are making perfume on thee, and bones of man are burnt on 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 hath given on that day a sign, saying, 'This [is] the sign that Jehovah hath spoken, Lo, the altar is rent, and the ashes poured forth that [are] on it.'
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 cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the word of the man of God that he calleth against the altar in Beth-El, that Jeroboam putteth forth his hand from off the altar, saying, 'Catch him;' and his hand is dried up that he hath put forth against him, and he is not able to bring it back unto 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.
and the altar is rent, and the ashes poured forth from the altar, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of Jehovah.
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 answereth and saith unto the man of God, 'Appease, I pray thee, the face of Jehovah thy God, and pray for me, and my hand doth come back unto me;' and the man of God appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and the hand of the king cometh back unto him, and it is as at the beginning.
7 Ruoth nowacho ni ngʼat Nyasayeno niya, “Wadhi oda mondo iyud gimoro icham kendo abiro miyi mich.”
And the king speaketh unto the man of God, 'Come in with me to the house, and refresh thyself, and I give to thee a gift.'
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 saith unto the king, 'If thou dost give to me the half of thine house, I do not go in with thee, nor do I eat bread, nor do I 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 He commanded me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou dost not eat bread nor drink water, nor turn back in the way that thou hast come.'
10 Kamano nokawo yo machielo mine ok odok gi yo mane obirogo Bethel.
And he goeth on in another way, and hath not turned back in the way in which he came in unto 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.
And a certain aged prophet is dwelling in Beth-El, and his son cometh and recounteth to him all the deed that the man of God hath done to-day in Beth-El, the words that he hath spoken unto the king, — yea, they recount them to their father.
12 Wuon-gi nopenjogi niya, “Noluwo yo mane?” To yawuote nonyise yo mane ngʼat Nyasaye moa Juda noluwo.
And their father saith unto them, 'Where [is] this — the way he hath gone?' and his sons see the way that the man of God hath gone who came from Judah.
13 Kamano nowacho ni yawuote niya, “Gawnauru punda.” Kane gisegawone punda, noidhe
And he saith unto his sons, 'Saddle for me the ass,' and they saddle for him the ass, and he rideth on it,
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 goeth after the man of God, and findeth him sitting under the oak, and saith unto him, 'Art thou the man of God who hast come from Judah?' and he saith, 'I [am].'
15 Kamano janabi nowachone niya, “Wadhi dala mondo ichiem.”
And he saith unto him, 'Come with me to the house, and eat bread.'
16 Ngʼat Nyasayeno nowacho niya, “Ok anyal lokora ma adog kodi dala kata chiemo kata modho pi kodi ka.
And he saith, 'I am not able to turn back with thee, and to go in with thee, nor do I eat bread or drink with thee 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.’”
for a word [is] unto me by the word of Jehovah, Thou dost not eat bread nor drink there water, thou dost not turn back to go in the way in which 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 saith to him, 'I also [am] a prophet like thee, and a messenger spake unto me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Bring him back with thee unto thy house, and he doth eat bread and drink water;' — he hath lied to him.
19 Kamano ngʼat Nyasaye noduogo kode mochiemo kendo metho e ode.
And he turneth back with him, and eateth bread in his house, and drinketh water.
20 Kane gibedo e mesa gichiemo, wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ni janabi moticha mane odwogo chien.
And it cometh to pass — they are sitting at the table — and a word of Jehovah is unto the prophet who 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 calleth unto the man of God who came from Judah, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah, Because that thou hast provoked the mouth of Jehovah, and hast not kept the command that Jehovah thy God charged 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 turnest back and dost eat bread and drink water in the place of which He said unto thee, Thou dost not eat bread nor drink water — thy carcase cometh not in unto the burying-place of thy fathers.'
23 Kane ngʼat Nyasayeno otieko chiemo kendo metho, janabi mane odwoge chienno nogawone pundane.
And it cometh to pass, after his eating bread, and after his drinking, that he saddleth for him the 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 he goeth, and a lion findeth him in the way, and putteth him to death, and his carcase is cast in the way, and the ass is standing near it, and the lion is standing near 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 lo, men are passing by, and see the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing near the carcase, and they come and speak [of it] in the city in which the old prophet is dwelling.
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 the prophet who brought him back out of the way heareth and saith, 'It [is] the man of God who provoked the mouth of Jehovah, and Jehovah giveth him to the lion, and it destroyeth him, and putteth him to death, according to the word of Jehovah that he spake to him.'
27 Janabi nowachone yawuote niya, “Gawnauru punda kendo negitimo kamano.”
And he speaketh unto his sons saying, 'Saddle for me the ass,' and they saddle [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 goeth and findeth his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion are standing near the carcase — the lion hath not eaten the carcase nor destroyed the ass.
29 Kamano janabino nokawo ringre ngʼat Nyasayeno mokete e ngʼe punda kendo nodwoge e dalane mondo oywage kendo oike.
And the prophet taketh up the carcase of the man of God, and placeth it on the ass, and bringeth it back, and the old prophet cometh in unto the city to mourn and to bury him,
30 Eka noketo ringreno e kar bure owuon mi giywage kagiwacho niya, “Yaye, owadwa!”
and he placeth his carcase in his own grave, and they mourn for him, 'Oh, my brother!'
31 Bangʼ yike nowacho ni yawuote niya, “Katho to ikauru e bur kama oyikie ngʼat Nyasayeni; keturu chokena but chokene.
And it cometh to pass, after his burying him, that he speaketh unto his sons, saying, 'At my death — ye have buried me in the burying-place in which the man of God is buried; near his bones place my 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 word certainly cometh to pass that he called by the word of Jehovah concerning the altar which [is] Beth-El, and concerning all the houses of the high places that [are] in 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 this thing Jeroboam hath not turned from his evil way, and turneth back, and maketh of the extremities of the people priests of high places; he who is desirous he consecrateth his hand, and he is of the priests of the high places.
34 Ma e richo mar od Jeroboam mane omiyo opodho kendo kelone kethruok e wangʼ piny.
And in this thing is the sin of the house of Jeroboam, even to cut [it] off, and to destroy [it] from off the face of the ground.
