Kings III 13
1 And behold, there came a man of God out of Juda by the word of the Lord to Baethel, and Jeroboam stood at the altar to sacrifice.
Pathen kah hlang he BOEIPA ol neh Judah lamloh Bethel la pakcak pawk. Te vaengah Jeroboam tah hmueih phum ham hmueihtuk taengah pai.
2 And he cried against the altar by the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord, Behold, a son is [to be] born to the house of David, Josias by name; and he shall offer upon thee the priests of the high places, [even] of them that sacrifice upon thee, and [he] shall burn men's bones upon thee.
Te vaengah BOEIPA ol lamloh hmueihtuk te a doek tih, “Hmueihtuk, hmueihtuk, BOEIPA loh he ni a thui, David imkhui ham capa pakhat, a ming ah Josiah om coeng ke. Te dongah nang soah hmueih aka phum hmuensang khosoih rhoek te nang soah a ngawn vetih hlang rhuh ni nang soah a tih eh?,” a ti nah.
3 And in that day one shall give a sign, saying, This [is] the word which the Lord has spoken, saying, Behold, the altar is rent, and the fatness upon it shall be poured out.
Te khohnin ah kopoekrhai a paek tih, “BOEIPA loh he kah kopoekrhai he a thui, hmueihtuk he paeng tih a sokah maehhloi luk pawn ni he,” a ti nah.
4 And it came to pass when king Jeroboam heard the words of the man of God who called on the altar that was in Baethel, that the king stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying, Take hold of him. And, behold, his hand, which he stretched forth against him, withered, and he could not draw it back to himself.
Bethel ah hmueihtuk aka pang thil Pathen hlang kah ol te manghai loh a yaak. Te dongah Jeroboam loh hmueihtuk dong lamloh a kut a thueng tih, “Anih ke tu uh,” a ti nah. Tedae anih taengla a kut a thueng te a koh pah tih amah taengla yuek thai voel pawh.
5 And the altar was rent, and the fatness was poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God gave by the word of the Lord.
Te phoeiah BOEIPA ol lamloh Pathen hlang kah a paek kopoekrhai bangla hmueihtuk te paeng tih maehhloi khaw hmueihtuk dong lamloh luk.
6 And king Jeroboam said to the man of God, Intreat the Lord thy God, and let my hand be restored to me. And the man of God intreated the Lord, and he restored the king's hand to him, and it became as before.
Te daengah manghai loh a doo tih Pathen kah hlang taengah, “BOEIPA na Pathen mikhmuh ah nguek mai. Kai hamla la thangthui lamtah kai he ka kut hoeih pawn saeh,” a ti nah. Pathen kah hlang te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a nguek daengah manghai te a kut a yueh thai tih lamhma kah thim la a om pah.
7 And the king said to the man of God, Enter with me into the house, and dine, and I will give thee a gift.
Manghai loh Pathen kah hlang te, “Kamah taengah im la ham paan lamtah na lungbuei duel dae, nang te kutdoe kam paek bitni,” a ti nah.
8 And the man of God said to the king, If thou shouldest give me the half of thine house, I would not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread, neither will I drink water in this place; for thus the Lord charged me by [his] word, saying,
Tedae Pathen kah hlang loh manghai te, “Kai he na im rhakthuem nam pae cakhaw nang taengla ka mop mahpawh. He hmuen ah buh khaw ka ca mahpawh, tui khaw ka o mahpawh.
9 Eat no bread, and drink no water, and return not by the way by which thou camest.
BOEIPA ol loh kai n'uen tangloeng tih, 'Buh khaw ca boeh, tui khaw o boeh, na caeh long lamloh mael boeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
10 So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way by which he came to Baethel.
Te dongah longpuei a tloe longah cet tih Bethel la aka pawk longpuei longah mael voel pawh.
11 And there dwelt an old prophet in Baethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God did on that day in Baethel, and the words which he spoke to the king: and they turned the face of their father.
Te vaengah tonghma patong pakhat tah Bethel ah kho a sak. Te dongah a capa te a pawk vaengah Pathen kah hlang loh Bethel ah hnin at neh bitat cungkuem a saii khaw, manghai taengah athui ol te khaw, a taengah a thui pah tih a napa ham a daek pauh.
12 And their father spoke to them, saying, Which way went he? and his sons shew him the way by which the man of God who came out of Juda went up.
Te vaengah a napa loh amih te, “Me long nim a caeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Judah lamkah aka pawk Pathen hlang kah a caeh nah longpuei te a ca rhoek loh a tueng uh.
13 And he said to his sons, Saddle me the ass: and they saddled him the ass, and he mounted it,
A ca rhoek te, “Kai ham laak te khit uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih ham laak te a khih pa uh tih a soah ngol.
14 and went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said to him, Art thou the man of God that came out of Juda? And he said to him, I [am].
Te phoeiah Pathen hlang hnuk te a vai hatah rhokael hmuiah a ngol te hmuh. Te dongah anih te, “Nang he Judah lamkah aka pawk Pathen kah hlang ni nama?” a ti nah hatah, “Kai ni ue,” a ti nah.
15 And he said to him, Come with me, and eat bread.
Te phoeiah anih te, “Kai taengah im la halo lamtah buh ca dae,” a ti nah.
16 And he said, I shall not by any means be able to return with thee, neither will I eat bread, neither will I drink water in this place.
Tedae, “Nang taengah ka mael ham neh na taengah pongpa ham ka coeng moenih. He hmuen ah buh ka ca mahpawh, nang taengkah tui khaw ka o mahpawh.
17 For thus the Lord commanded me by word, saying, Eat not bread there, and drink not water, and return not thither by the way by which thou camest.
Ka taengkah ol he BOEIPA ol dongkah ni. Teah te buh ca boeh, tui khaw o boeh, na lo vaengkah longpuei dongah na mael vaengah cet boeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
18 And he said to him, I also am a prophet as thou [art]; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back to thee into thy house, and let him eat bread and drink water: but he lied to him.
Te vaengah amah te, “Kai khaw nang bangla tonghma van ni. Puencawn loh kai taengah BOEIPA ol neh a thui tih, 'Anih te namah neh na im la mael puei lamtah, buh ca dae saeh, tui khaw o saeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah tih a taengah basa.
19 And he brought him back, and he ate bread and drank water in his house.
Te dongah a taengla mael tih a im ah buh a caak, tui khaw a ok pah.
20 And it came to pass while they were sitting at the table, that the word of the Lord came to the prophet that brought him back;
Te phoeiah amih te caboei dongah ngol uh. Te vaengah BOEIPA kah ol anih aka khuen tonghma taengah pai.
21 and he spoke to the man of God that came out of Juda, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast resisted the word of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee,
Te vaengah Judah lamkah aka pawk Pathen hlang te a o tih, “BOEIPA ol na koek dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na Pathen BOEIPA loh nang n'uen bangla olpaek te na ngaithuen moenih.
22 but hast returned, and eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he spoke to thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat bread, and shalt not drink water; [therefore] thy body shall in nowise enter into the sepulchre of thy fathers.
Na mael tih namah taengah, 'Buh ca boeh, tui o boeh,’ a ti nah hmuen ah buh na caak tih, tui na ok dongah na rhok loh na pa rhoek kah phuel te paan mahpawh,” a ti nah.
23 And it came to pass after he had eaten bread and drunk water, that he saddled the ass for him, and he turned and departed.
Buh a caak phoei neh a ok phoeiah tah anih aka mael puei tonghma loh anih ham laak a khih pah.
24 And a lion found him in the way, and slew him; and his body was cast out in the way, and the ass was standing by it, and the lion [also] was standing by the body.
Tedae a caeh vaengah anih te sathueng loh longpuei ah a mah tih anih te a duek sak. A rhok te long ah a voeih tih a om vaengah laak te a taengah pai. Sathueng khaw rhok taengah pai.
25 And, behold, men [were] passing by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion was standing near the carcase: and they went in and spoke [of it] in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
Te vaengah hlang aka cet loh longpuei ah rhok yalh tih rhok taengah sathueng a pai te lawt a hmuh uh. Te dongah tonghma patong a om nah khopuei ah a thui uh.
26 And [the prophet] that turned him back out of the way heard, and said, This is the man of God who rebelled against the word of the Lord.
Te vaengah longpueng lamloh anih aka mael puei tonghma loh a yaak tih, “BOEIPA ol aka koek Pathen kah hlang pai ni, a taengah a thui pah BOEIPA ol bangla BOEIPA loh anih he sathueng taengla a paek dongah a phuet tih a duek sak,” a ti.
27 [And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass, and they saddled it. ]
Te phoeiah a ca rhoek te, “Kai hamla laak te khit uh,” a ti nah tih a khih pauh.
28 And he went and found the body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion were standing by the body: and the lion had not devoured the body of the man of God, and had not torn the ass.
A caeh vaengah a rhok te long ah ana voeih tih rhok taengah laak neh sathueng a pai te a hmuh. Sathueng loh rhok te ca pawt tih laak te khaw nget pawh.
29 And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on his ass; and the prophet brought him back to his city, to bury him in his own tomb,
Tonghma loh Pathen hlang kah rhok te a pom tih laak dongla a tloeng phoeiah a mael puei. Te phoeiah rhaengsae ham neh up hamla tonghma patong kah khopuei la a pawk puei.
30 and they bewailed him, [saying], Alas, brother.
A rhok te amah phuel ah a yalh sak vaengah, “Anunae kai mana aih,” tila a rhaengsae thil.
31 And it came to pass after he had lamented him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, Whenever I die, bury me in this tomb wherein the man of God is buried; lay me by his bones, that my bones may be preserved with his bones.
Anih te a up phoeiah tah a ca rhoek te a uen tih, “Ka duek vaengah kai he Pathen hlang up nah phuel ah ng'up uh. Anih rhuh taengah ka rhuh he yalh saeh.
32 For the word will surely come to pass which he spoke by the word of the Lord against the altar in Baethel, and against the high houses in Samaria.
BOEIPA ol lamloh Bethel kah hmueihtuk ham neh Samaria khopuei rhoek kah hmuensang im boeih ham a doek ol te thoeng rhoe thoeng bitni,” a ti nah.
33 And after this Jeroboam turned not from his sin, but he turned and made of part of the people priests of the [high places]: whoever would, he consecrated him, and he became a priest for the high places.
He ol phoeiah khaw Jeroboam he a longpuei thae lamloh a mael moenih. Tedae a bal vaengah khobawt pilnam khui lamkah te hmuensang khosoih la a khueh. A kut loh a pha rhang la aka omtoem tah hmuensang khosoih la ana om van.
34 And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to its destruction and its removal from the face of the earth.
He hno dongah Jeroboam imkhui ah tholhnah la om tih diklai maelhmai lamloh aka thup ham neh aka mitmoeng sak ham ni a om coeng.
