1 Kings 13
1 And behold, by the word of the Lord, a man of God went from Judah to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing over the altar, and burning incense.
Men nettupp då Jerobeam stod ved altaret og vilde kveikja offereld, kom det på Herrens bod ein gudsmann frå Juda til Betel.
2 And by the word of the Lord, he cried out against the altar. And he said: “O altar, O altar! Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, a son will be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. And upon you, he will immolate the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon you. And upon you, he will burn up the bones of men.’”
Og etter Herrens fyresegn ropa han imot altaret og sagde: «Altar, altar! So segjer Herren: «Ein son skal verta fødd åt Davids hus; Josia skal han heita, på deg skal han ofra offerhaug-prestarne som kveikjer offereld på deg; mannebein skal dei då brenna på deg.»»
3 And he gave a sign on the same day, saying: “This will be the sign that the Lord has spoken. Behold, the altar shall be torn apart, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.”
Same gongen nemnde han eit teikn og sagde: «Dette er teiknet på at Herren hev tala: Sjå, altaret skal rivna, og oska som er på det, skal renna utyver.»
4 And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar at Bethel, he extended his hand from the altar, saying, “Apprehend him!” But his hand, which he had extended against him, withered. And he was unable to draw it back to himself.
Då kong Jerobeam høyrde det som gudsmannen ropa imot altaret i Betel, rette han ut handi frå altaret og sagde: «Tak honom!» Men handi som han hadde rett ut imot honom visna, og han kunde ikkje taka henne til seg att.
5 Also, the altar was torn apart, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, in accord with the sign that the man of God had predicted by the word of the Lord.
Og altaret rivna, og oska rann ut frå altaret; det var teiknet som gudsmannen hadde nemnt, etter Herrens bod.
6 And the king said to the man of God, “Entreat the face of the Lord your God, and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored to me.” And the man of God prayed before the face of the Lord, and the hand of the king was restored to him, and it became as it had been before.
Då svara kongen og sagde til gudsmannen: «Vil du naudbeda Herren, din Gud, at eg må kunna taka handi til meg att?» Og gudsmannen naudbad Herren, og kongen kunde då taka handi til seg att, og ho vart som ho hadde vore fyrr.
7 Then the king said to the man of God: “Come home with me, so that you may dine. And I will give you gifts.”
Då sagde kongen til gudsmannen: «Kom heim med meg og styrk deg, og lat meg få gjeva deg ei gåva!»
8 And the man of God responded to the king: “Even if you will give me one half part of your house, I will not go with you, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place.
Men gudsmannen sagde til kongen: «Um du gav meg helti av huset ditt, vilde eg ikkje ganga inn med deg like vel; her vil eg korkje eta eller drikka.
9 For so it was commanded to me by the word of the Lord, ordering: ‘You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water, nor shall you return by the way that you came.’”
For det bodet eg fekk av Herren: «Du skal ikkje eta brød og ikkje drikka vatn, og ikkje skal du fara den same vegen attende som du gjekk av stad.»»
10 Then he departed by another way, and he did not return along the way that he had traveled to Bethel.
Og so for han av ei annan veg og vende ikkje heim att den vegen han var komen.
11 Now a certain elderly prophet was living in Bethel. His sons went to him, and they described to him all the works which the man of God had accomplished on that day in Bethel. And they described to their father the words that he had spoken to the king.
Men i Betel budde ein gamall profet, og son hans kom og fortalde honom alt det gudsmannen hadde gjort i Betel den dagen, og kva han hadde sagt til kongen. Og då dei hadde fortalt dette til far sin,
12 And their father said to them, “By which way did he depart?” His sons showed him the way by which the man of God, who had come from Judah, had departed.
sagde far deira til deim: «Kva veg gjekk han?» Sønerne hadde set kva veg gudsmannen hadde fare, han som var komen frå Juda.
13 And he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it, he climbed on,
Då sagde han til sønerne sine: «Sala asnet åt meg!» Då dei so hadde sala asnet åt honom, sette han seg på det
14 and he went away after the man of God. And he found him sitting under a terebinth tree. And he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he responded, “I am.”
og tok ut etter gudsmannen og fann honom; han under eiki; og han spurde honom: «Er du den gudsmannen som er komen frå Juda?» Han svara: «Ja, det er eg.»
15 And he said to him, “Come home with me, so that you may eat bread.”
Då sagde han til honom: «Fylg meg heim, og et med meg!»
16 But he said: “I am not able to turn back, nor to go with you. Neither will I eat bread, or drink water in this place.
Men han svara: «Eg kann ikkje ganga attende med deg eller stiga innum hjå deg, og eg kann korkje eta eller drikka med deg her;
17 For the Lord has spoken to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, “You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water in that place, nor shall you return by the way that you arrived.”
for det kom eit ord til meg frå Herren: «Du skal korkje eta eller drikka der; du skal ikkje heller fara attende same vegen som du gjekk dit.»»
18 And he said to him: “I, too, am a prophet like you. And an Angel spoke to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, ‘Lead him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread, and drink water.’” And so he deceived him.
Han sagde til honom: «Eg og er profet liksom du, og ein engel hev tala til meg på Herrens bod og sagt: «Få honom attende med deg og gjev honom mat og drikka!»» Men det laug han for honom.
19 And he led him back with him. Then he ate bread and drank water in his house.
So snudde han um att med honom og åt i huset hans og drakk.
20 And while they were sitting at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had led him back.
Men medan dei sat ved bordet, kom Herrens ord til profeten som hadde fenge honom attende.
21 And he cried out to the man of God who had arrived from Judah, saying: “Thus says the Lord: Because you were not obedient to the mouth of the Lord, and you did not keep the commandment that the Lord your God instructed to you,
Og han ropa til gudsmannen som var komen frå Juda, og sagde: «So segjer Herren: «For di du hev vore motstridig mot Herrens ord og ikkje lydt det bodet som Herren, din Gud, gav deg,
22 and you turned back, and ate bread, and drank water in the place where he commanded you that you should not eat bread, nor drink water: your dead body shall not be carried back to the sepulcher of your fathers.”
men snudde um att og ete og drukke på den staden der han hadde forbode deg å gjera det, so skal liket ditt ikkje koma i fedregravi di.»»
23 And when he had eaten and had drunk, he saddled his donkey for the prophet whom he had led back.
Då han no hadde ete og drukke, sala han asnet åt honom, åt profeten, som han hadde fenge attende.
24 And when he had departed, a lion found him along the way, and it killed him, and his dead body was left upon the road. Now the donkey was standing beside him. And the lion was standing beside the dead body.
Og han tok i veg, men ei løva råka honom på vegen og drap honom. Sidan låg liket hans slengt på vegen; men asnet gav seg til å standa attmed det, og løva stod like eins attmed liket.
25 And behold, men who were passing by saw the dead body lying in the road, with the lion standing beside the body. And they went and made it widely known in the city where that elderly prophet was living.
Då no folk som gjekk framum der, fekk sjå liket hans slengt på vegen, og løva standande attmed det, gjekk dei inn i byen der den gamle profeten budde, og tala um det.
26 And when that prophet, who had led him back from the way, had heard it, he said: “It is the man of God, who was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord. And the Lord has delivered him to the lion. And it has torn him apart and killed him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him.”
Då profeten som hadde fenge honom attende frå vegen, høyrde det, sagde han: «Det er gudsmannen som var motstridig imot Herrens ord; difor hev Herren gjeve honom løva i vald, og ho hev rive honom sund og drepe honom, etter det ord som Herren hadde tala til honom.»
27 And he said to his sons, “Saddle a donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it,
Og han sagde til sønerne sine: «Legg sal på asnet åt meg!» Og dei sala det.
28 and he had departed, he found the dead body lying on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside the dead body. The lion did not eat from the dead body, nor did it harm the donkey.
So tok han ut og fann liket liggjande slengt på vegen, og løva og asnet standane attmed liket; løva hadde ikkje ete av liket og ikkje rive sund asnet heller.
29 Then the prophet took the dead body of the man of God, and he placed it upon the donkey, and returning, he brought it into the city of the elderly prophet, so that he might mourn for him.
Og profeten tok upp liket av gudsmannen og lagde honom på asnet og tok honom med seg attende; og den gamle profeten gjekk inn i byen sin og vilde halda syrgjehøgtid og gravleggja honom.
30 And he placed his dead body in his own sepulcher. And they mourned for him, saying: “Alas! Alas! My brother!”
Og han lagde liket hans i si eigi grav, og dei heldt syrgjehøgtid og ropa: «Eie, eie meg, bror min!»
31 And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: “When I will have died, bury me in the sepulcher in which the man of God was buried. Place my bones beside his bones.
Då han no hadde gravlagt honom, sagde han til sønerne sine: «Når eg døyr, skal de leggja meg i den gravi som gudsmannen ligg i; legg beini mine attmed hans bein.
32 For certainly, the word will arrive, which he predicted by the word of the Lord, against the altar, which is in Bethel, and against all the shrines of the high places, which are in the cities of Samaria.”
For det skal sanna seg, det som han, etter Herrens ord, sagde imot altaret i Betel og imot alle offerhaughusi i byarne i Samaria.»
33 After these words, Jeroboam did not turn back from his very evil way. Instead, to the contrary, he made priests for the high places out of the least of the people. Whosoever was willing, he filled his hand, and he became a priest of the high places.
Jerobeam vende like vel ikkje um ifrå sin vonde veg etter denne hendingi, men heldt fram med å gjera til prestar ved offerhaugarne både likt og ulikt. Den som berre hadde hug til det, fekk av honom handi fyllt, so dei kunde verta prestar ved haugarne.
34 And for this reason, the house of Jeroboam sinned, and was uprooted, and was wiped from the face of the earth.
På denne vis vart Jerobeam upphavsmann til synd i ætti si og orsak til at huset hans vart utrudt og utstroke av jordi.
