1 Kings 13
1 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of Jehovah to Bethel. And Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.
Omusajja wa Katonda n’ajja e Beseri okuva mu Yuda olw’ekigambo kya Mukama, n’asanga Yerobowaamu ng’ayimiridde mu maaso g’ekyoto ng’ateekateeka okwotereza obubaane.
2 And he cried against the altar by the word of Jehovah, and said, O altar, altar, thus says Jehovah: Behold, a son shall be born to 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 they shall burn upon thee.
N’ayogerera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka eri ekyoto olw’ekigambo kya Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Ayi ekyoto, ekyoto! Kino Mukama ky’agamba nti, ‘Omwana erinnya lye Yosiya alizaalibwa mu nnyumba ya Dawudi, ku ggwe kw’aliweerayo bakabona ab’ebifo ebigulumivu ng’ebiweebwayo era n’amagumba g’abantu galyokerwa ku ggwe.’”
3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which Jehovah has spoken: Behold, the altar shall be torn, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
Ku lunaku olwo omusajja wa Katonda n’awa akabonero: “Kano ke kabonero Mukama kalangirira. Ekyoto kiryatika n’evvu lyakyo liriyiyibwa ebweru.”
4 And it came to pass, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, 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.
Awo kabaka Yerobowaamu bwe yawulira omusajja wa Katonda bye yayogera, n’ayogera n’eddoboozi eddene ku kyoto e Beseri ng’awanise omukono gwe mu maaso g’ekyoto nti, “Mumukwate!” Omukono gwe yawanika eri omusajja wa Katonda ne gukala ne gukalambalirayo n’okuyinza n’atayinza kuguzza.
5 The altar also was torn, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of Jehovah.
N’ekyoto ne kyatikamu, n’evvu ne liyiika ng’akabonero omusajja wa Katonda ke yawa olw’ekigambo kya Mukama.
6 And the king answered and said to the man of God, Entreat now the favor of Jehovah thy God, and pray for me that my hand may be restored to me again. And the man of God entreated Jehovah, and the king's hand was restored to him again, and became as it was before.
Awo Kabaka n’agamba omusajja wa Katonda nti, “Negayiririra Mukama Katonda wo, onsabire omukono gwange guwonyezebwe.” Omusajja wa Katonda n’amwegayiririra eri Mukama, omukono gwe ne guddawo nga bwe gwali olubereberye.
7 And the king said to the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
Kabaka n’agamba omusajja wa Katonda nti, “Jjangu eka ewange obeeko ky’olya, n’okukuwa nkuweeyo ekirabo.”
8 And the man of God said to the king, If thou will give me half thy house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place;
Naye omusajja wa Katonda n’agamba kabaka nti, “Ne bw’onompa ekitundu ky’obugagga bwo, sijja kugenda naawe, wadde okulya omugaati oba okunywa amazzi wano.
9 for so it was charged me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou shall eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that thou came.
Kubanga nkuutiddwa ekigambo kya Mukama nti, ‘Tolya mugaati newaakubadde okunywa amazzi wadde okuddira mu kkubo ly’ojjiddemu.’”
10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.
Awo n’addirayo mu kkubo eddala, so si mu eryo lye yajjiramu e Beseri.
11 Now there dwelt an old prophet 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. The words which he had spoken to the king, they also told them to their father.
Awo mu biro ebyo waaliwo nnabbi omukadde eyabeeranga mu Beseri, eyategeezebwa batabani be ebyo byonna omusajja wa Katonda bye yali akoze ku lunaku olwo, ne bye yali agambye kabaka.
12 And their father said to them, What way did he go? Now his sons had seen what way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
Kitaabwe n’ababuuza nti, “Akutte kkubo ki?” Awo batabani be ne bamulaga ekkubo omusajja wa Katonda ow’e Yuda ly’akutte.
13 And he said to his sons, Saddle the donkey for me. So they saddled him the donkey, and he rode on it.
Awo n’agamba batabani be nti, “Munteekereteekere endogoyi.” Bwe baamala okumutegekera endogoyi, n’agyebagala,
14 And he went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. And he said to him, Are thou the man of God who came from Judah? And he said, I am.
n’akwata ekkubo omusajja wa Katonda lye yali akutte. Yamusanga atudde wansi w’omwera, n’amubuuza nti, “Gwe musajja wa Katonda eyavudde e Yuda?” N’addamu nti, “Nze nzuuno.”
15 Then he said to him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
Awo nnabbi n’amugamba nti, “Tuddeyo eka olye ku mmere.”
16 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;
Omusajja wa Katonda n’amuddamu nti, “Siyinza kuddayo newaakubadde okugenda naawe, wadde okulya omugaati oba okunywa amazzi naawe mu kifo kino.
17 for it was said to me by the word of Jehovah, Thou shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou came.
Ndagiddwa ekigambo kya Mukama nti, ‘Toteekwa kulyayo ku mmere newaakubadde okunywayo amazzi, wadde okuddirayo mu kkubo lye wajjiddemu.’”
18 And he said to him, I also am a prophet as thou are. And an agent spoke to me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Bring him back with thee into thy house that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied to him.
Awo nnabbi omukadde n’amuddamu nti, “Nze nange ndi nnabbi nga ggwe. Era malayika yaŋŋambye ekigambo kya Katonda nti, ‘Mukomyewo mu nnyumba yo alye ku mmere anywe ne ku mazzi.’” Naye yali amulimba.
19 So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.
Awo omusajja wa Katonda n’addayo naye mu nnyumba ye n’alya era n’anywa.
20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of Jehovah came to the prophet who brought him back.
Bwe baali batudde nga balya, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira nnabbi omukadde eyali amukomezzaawo.
21 And he cried out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, Thus says Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou have been disobedient to the mouth of Jehovah, and have not kept the commandment which Jehovah thy God commanded thee,
N’ayogerera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka eri omusajja wa Katonda eyava mu Yuda nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Ojeemedde ekigambo kya Mukama era tokuumye kiragiro Mukama Katonda kye yakulagidde.
22 but came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water, thy body shall not come to the sepulcher of thy fathers.
Wakomyewo n’olya emmere era n’onywa amazzi mu kifo kye yakugaanye okulyamu wadde okunywamu amazzi. Noolwekyo omulambo gwo teguliziikibwa mu ntaana ya bajjajjaabo.’”
23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for him, namely, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
Omusajja wa Katonda bwe yamala okulya n’okunywa, nnabbi oli eyali amukomezzaawo, n’ategeka endogoyi y’omusajja wa Katonda.
24 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him. And his body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.
Awo bwe yali ng’ali ku lugendo lwe, empologoma n’emusangiriza n’emutta, era n’esuula omulambo gwe ku kkubo, empologoma n’endogoyi ne biyimirira okumpi nagwo.
25 And, behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body. And they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
Laba, abantu abamu abaalaba omulambo nga gusuuliddwa wansi, nga n’empologoma eyimiridde kumpi nagwo, ne bagenda mu kibuga nnabbi mwe yabeeranga ne bategeeza abaayo.
26 And 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 mouth of Jehovah. Therefore Jehovah has delivered him to the lion, which has torn him, and slain him, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke to him.
Nnabbi eyali amukomezzaawo bwe yakiwulira n’ayogera nti, “Ye musajja wa Katonda ataagondedde kigambo kya Mukama. Mukama amuwaddeyo eri empologoma emutaagudde n’emutta, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe ky’amulabudde.”
27 And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle the donkey for me. And they saddled it.
Awo nnabbi n’agamba batabani be nti, “Muntegekere endogoyi.” Ne bagimutegekera.
28 And he went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body, nor torn the donkey.
Nagenda n’asanga omulambo gw’omusajja wa Katonda nga gusuuliddwa mu kkubo n’endogoyi n’empologoma nga ziyimiridde kumpi nagwo; empologoma nga teridde mulambo so nga tetaaguddetaagudde ndogoyi.
29 And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the donkey, and brought it back. And he came to the city of the old prophet, to mourn, and to bury him.
Nnabbi n’asitula omulambo gw’omusajja wa Katonda n’aguteeka ku ndogoyi, era n’aguzzaayo mu kibuga kye n’amukungubagira, omulambo n’aguziika.
30 And he laid his body in his own grave. And they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
N’ateeka omulambo gwe mu ntaana ye ye, ne bamukungubagira nga bakaaba nti, “Woowe, muganda wange!”
31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulcher in which the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones.
Awo bwe baamala okumuziika, n’agamba batabani be nti, “Bwe nfanga, munziikanga mu ntaana omusajja wa Katonda mw’aziikiddwa; muteekanga amagumba gange kumpi n’amagumba ge.
32 For the saying which he cried by the word of Jehovah against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
Ekigambo kya Mukama, omusajja wa Katonda kye yayogera n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka ku kyoto ekiri mu Beseri ne ku masabo ag’ebifo ebigulumivu ebiri mu bibuga eby’e Samaliya, tekirirema kutuukirira.”
33 After this thing Jeroboam did not return from his evil way, but again made from among all the people priests of the high places. Whoever would, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places.
Oluvannyuma lw’ekigambo ekyo Yerobowaamu n’atakyuka kuleka amakubo ge amabi, naye ne yeeyongera nate okussaawo bakabona ab’ebifo ebigulumivu ng’abaggya mu bantu abaabulijjo. Buli eyayagalanga okubeera kabona, n’amwawulanga okubeera mu bifo ebigulumivu.
34 And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
Kino kye kyali ekibi ky’ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu ekyagireetera okugwa, okugimalawo n’okugizikiriza okuva ku nsi.
