< 1 Kings 13 >
1 Suddenly, as Jeroboam was standing beside the altar to burn incense, there came a man of God from Judah to Bethel by the word of the LORD.
Na ka tae mai tetahi tangata a te Atua i Hura ki Peteere, he mea ki na Ihowa: a i te tu a Ieropoama i te taha o te aata, e tahu whakakakara ana.
2 And he cried out against the altar by the word of the LORD, “O altar, O altar, this is what the LORD says: ‘A son named Josiah will be born to the house of David, and upon you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense upon you, and human bones will be burned upon you.’”
Na karangatia ana e ia ta Ihowa kupu ki te aata; i mea ia, E te aata na, e te aata na, ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei, Nana, tera e whanau tetahi tamaiti o te whare o Rawiri, ko Hohia tona ingoa, a ka tapaea e ia ki runga ki a koe nga tohunga o nga wahi tiketike e tahu whakakakara nei ki runga ki a koe; a ka tahuna he wheua tangata ki runga ki a koe.
3 That day the man of God gave a sign, saying, “The LORD has spoken this sign: ‘Surely the altar will be split apart, and the ashes upon it will be poured out.’”
I hoatu ano e ia he tohu i taua ra, i mea, Ko te tohu tenei i korerotia e Ihowa, Nana, ka koara te aata, a ka maringi nga pungarehu o runga.
4 Now when King Jeroboam, who was at the altar in Bethel, heard the word that the man of God had cried out against it, he stretched out his hand and said, “Seize him!” But the hand he stretched out toward him withered, so that he could not pull it back.
A, no te rongonga o te kingi i te kupu a te tangata a te Atua i karangatia nei e ia ki te aata i Peteere, ka totoro te ringa o Ieropoama i te aata ka mea ia, Hopukia ia. Na memenge ake tona ringa i totoro nei ki a ia, kihai hoki i taea te whakaho ki mai ki a ia.
5 And the altar was split apart, and the ashes poured out, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
Na kua koara te aata; maringi ake nga pungarehu i runga i te aata, i rite tonu ki te tohu i homai e te tangata a te Atua, ki ta Ihowa i korero ai.
6 Then the king responded to the man of God, “Intercede with the LORD your God and pray that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God interceded with the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored to him as it was before.
Na ka oho te kingi, ka mea ki te tangata a te Atua, Tena ra, karanga atu ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ka inoi moku, kia whakahokia mai toku ringa ki ahau. Na ka karanga te tangata a te Atua ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a ka whakahokia te ringa o te kingi ki a ia, ka pera me to mua.
7 Then the king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”
Na ka mea te kingi ki te tangata a te Atua, Haere mai taua ki te whare ki tetahi oranga mou, kia hoatu hoki e ahau tetahi mea ki a koe.
8 But the man of God replied, “If you were to give me half your possessions, I still would not go with you, nor would I eat bread or drink water in this place.
Na ka mea te tangata a te Atua ki te kingi, Ahakoa i homai e koe ko te hawhe o tou whare, e kore ahau e haere taua, e kore ano e kai taro, e inu wai ki tenei wahi.
9 For this is what I was commanded by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water or return by the way you came.’”
Ko te ako hoki tenei ki ahau, ko ta Ihowa hoki i korero ai; i mea ai, Kei kai taro, kei inu wai; kaua ano e hoki mai na te ara e haere atu ai koe.
10 So the man of God went another way and did not return by the way he had come to Bethel.
Na haere ana ia he ara ke, kihai i hoki na te ara i haere mai nei ia ki Peteere.
11 Now a certain old prophet was living in Bethel, and his sons came and told him all the deeds that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words that the man had spoken to the king.
Na i Peteere tetahi poropiti e noho ana, he koroheke; a, ka haere mai tetahi o ana tama, ka korerotia ki a ia nga mea katoa i mea ai te tangata a te Atua i taua ra ki Peteere; i korerotia ano e ratou ki to ratou papa nga kupu i korero ai ia ki t e kingi.
12 “Which way did he go?” their father asked. And his sons showed him the way taken by the man of God, who had come from Judah.
Na ka mea to ratou papa ki a ratou, Tena koa te ara i haere ai ia? I kite hoki ana tama i te ara i haere atu ai te tangata a te Atua i haere mai nei i Hura.
13 So the prophet said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” Then they saddled the donkey for him, and he mounted it
Na ka mea ia ki ana tama, Whakanohoia taku kaihe. Na whakanohoia ana tana kaihe e ratou, a eke ana ia ki runga.
14 and went after the man of God. He found him sitting under an oak tree and asked, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” “I am,” he replied.
Na whaia ana e ia te tangata a te Atua, mau rawa atu e noho ana i raro i tetahi oki; a ka mea ki a ia, Ko koe ianei te tangata a te Atua i haere mai nei i Hura? Ano ra ko tera, Ae, ko ahau.
15 So the prophet said to the man of God, “Come home with me and eat some bread.”
Katahi ka mea ia ki a ia, Haere mai taua ki te whare ki te kai taro mau.
16 But the man replied, “I cannot return with you or eat bread or drink water with you in this place.
Ano ra ko ia, E kore e ahei kia hoki taua, kia haere atua; e kore ano taua e kai taro, e inu wai ranei ki tenei wahi.
17 For I have been told by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way you came.’”
Kua korerotia mai hoki ta Ihowa kupu ki ahau, Kei kai taro, kei inu wai ki reira, kei anga, kei haere mai na te ara ka haere atu nei koe.
18 Then the prophet replied, “I too am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread and drink water.’” The old prophet was lying to him,
Na ka mea tera ki a ia, He poropiti ano ahau, he pena me koe; kua korerotia mai ano ki ahau te kupu a Ihowa e tetahi anahera: i ki mai ia, Whakahokia ia ki a koe, ki tou whare ki te kai taro mana, ki te inu wai. He teka ia nana ki a ia.
19 but the man of God went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
Heoi hoki ana ia i a ia, a kai taro ana i roto i tona whare, inu wai ana.
20 While they were sitting at the table, the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back,
Na, i a raua e noho ana ki te tepu, ko te putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki te poropiti nana nei ia i whakahoki:
21 and the prophet cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because you have defied the word of the LORD and have not kept the commandment that the LORD your God gave you,
A ka karanga ia ki te tangata a te Atua i haere mai nei i Hura, ka mea, Ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei, Na, kua tutu nei koe ki te mangai o Ihowa, a kahore i mau i a koe te ako i ako ai a Ihowa, tou Atua ki a koe,
22 but you went back and ate bread and drank water in the place where He told you not to do so, your body shall never reach the tomb of your fathers.’”
Heoi hoki mai ana koe, kai taro ana, inu wai ana ki te wahi i korero ai ia ki a koe, Kei kai taro, kei inu wai; e kore e tae tou tinana ki te urupa o ou matua.
23 And after the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the old prophet who had brought him back saddled the donkey for him.
A ka mutu tana kai taro, ka mutu tana inu, na ka whakanohoia e ia te kaihe mona, ara mo te poropiti i whakahokia mai nei e ia.
24 As he went on his way, a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was left lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it.
Na, i tona haerenga, ka tutaki tetahi raiona ki a ia, ka whakamate i a ia: a ko tona tinana i akiritia ki te ara, me te kaihe ki tona taha tu ai; ko te raiona ano hoki i tu i te taha o te tinana.
25 And there were men passing by who saw the body lying in the road with the lion standing beside it, and they went and reported this in the city where the old prophet lived.
Na, ka haere mai nga tangata, ka kite i te tinana i akiritia ra ki te ara, me te raiona e tu ana i te taha o te tinana: ka haere, ka korero i taua mea i te pa i noho ai te poropiti koroheke.
26 When the prophet who had brought him back from his journey heard this, he said, “It is the man of God who disobeyed the command of the LORD. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, and it has mauled him and killed him, according to the word that the LORD had spoken to him.”
A, no te rongonga o taua poropiti, nana nei ia i whakahoki mai i te ara, ka mea ia, Ko te tangata tena a te Atua kihai nei i whakarongo ki te mangai o Ihowa, a hoatu ana ia e Ihowa ki te raiona, a haea iho e ia, whakamatea iho; ko ta Ihowa kupu hoki tena i korero ai ki a ia.
27 Then the old prophet instructed his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled it,
Na ka korero ia ki ana tama, ka mea, Whakanohoia taku kaihe, a whakanohoia ana e ratou.
28 and he went and found the body lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body or mauled the donkey.
Na haere ana ia, a rokohanga atu ko te tinana, he mea akiri ki te ara, me te kaihe raua ko te raiona e tu ana i te taha o te tinana; kihai te tinana i kainga e te raiona, kihai ano te kaihe i haea.
29 So the old prophet lifted up the body of the man of God, laid it on the donkey, and brought it back to his own city to mourn for him and bury him.
Na hapainga ana te tinana o te tangata a te Atua e te poropiti, a whakatakotoria ana ki runga ki te kaihe, whakahokia ana; haere ana ki te pa o te poropiti koroheke ki te tangi, ki te tanu i a ia.
30 Then he laid the body in his own tomb, and they lamented over him, “Oh, my brother!”
Na whakatakotoria ana e ia tona tinana ki roto ki tona ake urupa; a ko ta ratou tangi mona, Aue, e toku teina.
31 After he had buried him, the prophet said to his sons, “When I die, you must bury me in the tomb where the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones,
A, ka mutu tana tanu i a ia, ka korero ia ki ana tama, ka mea, Kia mate ahau, tanumia ahau ki roto ki te urupa i tanumia ai te tangata a te Atua; hei te taha o ona wheua whakatakoto ai i oku wheua.
32 for the message that he cried out by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel and against all the shrines on the high places in the cities of Samaria will surely come to pass.”
No te mea tera e tino rite ta Ihowa korero i karangatia e ia mo tenei aata i Peteere, mo nga whare katoa hoki o nga wahi tiketike i nga pa o Hamaria.
33 Even after these events, Jeroboam did not repent of his evil ways, but again he appointed priests for the high places from every class of people. He ordained anyone who desired to be a priest of the high places.
I muri i tenei kihai a Ieropoama i tahuri i tona ara kino; engari i tahuri ano ki te mea tohunga no roto noa iho i te iwi katoa mo nga wahi tiketike: ahakoa ko wai i hiahia, kua whakatohungatia e ia, kia whai tohunga ai mo nga wahi tiketike.
34 And this was the sin of the house of Jeroboam that led to its extermination and destruction from the face of the earth.
Na meinga ana tenei mea hei hara mo te whare o Ieropoama, hei mea e huna ai, e whakamotitia rawatia ai i te mata o te whenua.
