< 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.
Sì kíyèsi i, ènìyàn Ọlọ́run kan wá láti Juda sí Beteli nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, bì Jeroboamu sì ti dúró lẹ́bàá a pẹpẹ láti fi tùràrí jóná.
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.’”
Ó sì kígbe sí pẹpẹ náà nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa wí pé, “Pẹpẹ! Pẹpẹ! Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: ‘A ó bí ọmọkùnrin kan tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Josiah ní ilé Dafidi. Lórí rẹ ni yóò sì fi àwọn àlùfáà ibi gíga wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí ń fi tùràrí lórí rẹ̀ rú ẹbọ, a ó sì sun egungun ènìyàn lórí rẹ.’”
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.”
Ní ọjọ́ kan náà ènìyàn Ọlọ́run sì fún wọn ní àmì kan wí pé, “Èyí ni àmì tí Olúwa ti kéde: kíyèsi i, pẹpẹ náà yóò ya, eérú tí ń bẹ lórí rẹ̀ yóò sì dànù.”
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.
Nígbà tí Jeroboamu ọba sì gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run, tí ó kígbe sí pẹpẹ náà ní Beteli, ó sì na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ jáde nínú pẹpẹ, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ mú un!” ṣùgbọ́n ọwọ́ rẹ̀ tí ó nà sí i sì kákò, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì le fà á padà mọ́.
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.
Lẹ́sẹ̀kan náà, pẹpẹ ya, eérú náà sì dànù kúrò lórí pẹpẹ náà gẹ́gẹ́ bí àmì tí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ti fi fún un nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
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.
Nígbà náà ní ọba sì wí fún ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà pé, “Bẹ̀bẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, kí o sì gbàdúrà fún mi kí ọwọ́ mi lè padà bọ̀ sípò.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà bẹ̀bẹ̀ lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, ọwọ́ ọba sì padà bọ̀ sípò, ó sì padà sí bí ó ti wà tẹ́lẹ̀.
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.”
Ọba sì wí fún ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà pé, “Wá bá mi lọ ilé, kí o sì wá nǹkan jẹ, èmi yóò sì fi ẹ̀bùn fún ọ.”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà dá ọba lóhùn pé, “Bí ìwọ yóò bá tilẹ̀ fún mi ní ìdajì ìní rẹ, èmi kì yóò lọ pẹ̀lú rẹ tàbí kí èmi jẹ oúnjẹ tàbí mu omi ní ibí yìí.
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.’”
Nítorí a ti pa á láṣẹ fún mi nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa wí pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ oúnjẹ tàbí mu omi tàbí padà ní ọ̀nà náà tí o gbà wá.’”
10 Then he departed by another way, and he did not return along the way that he had traveled to Bethel.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó gba ọ̀nà mìíràn, kò sì padà gba ọ̀nà tí ó gbà wá sí Beteli.
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.
Wòlíì àgbà kan wà tí ń gbé Beteli, ẹni tí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ dé, tí ó sì ròyìn gbogbo ohun tí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà ti ṣe ní Beteli ní ọjọ́ náà fún un. Wọ́n sì tún sọ fún baba wọn ohun tí ó sọ fún ọba.
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.
Baba wọn sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Ọ̀nà wo ni ó gbà?” Àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ sì fi ọ̀nà tí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run láti Juda gbà hàn án.
13 And he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it, he climbed on,
Nígbà náà ni ó wí fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ní gàárì fún mi.” Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ti di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ní gàárì fún un tán, ó sì gùn ún.
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.”
Ó sì tẹ̀lé ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà lẹ́yìn. Ó sì rí i tí ó jókòó lábẹ́ igi óákù kan, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ni ènìyàn Ọlọ́run tí ó ti Juda wá bí?” Ó sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi ni.”
15 And he said to him, “Come home with me, so that you may eat bread.”
Nígbà náà ni wòlíì náà sì wí fún un pé, “Bá mi lọ ilé, kí o sì jẹun.”
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.
Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà sì wí pé, “Èmi kò le padà sẹ́yìn tàbí bá ọ lọ ilé, tàbí kí èmi kí ó jẹ oúnjẹ tàbí mu omi pẹ̀lú rẹ níhìn-ín.
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.”
A ti sọ fún mi nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ oúnjẹ tàbí mu omi níhìn-ín tàbí kí o padà lọ nípa ọ̀nà tí ìwọ bá wá.’”
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.
Wòlíì àgbà náà sì wí fún un pé, “Wòlíì ni èmi náà pẹ̀lú, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ. Angẹli sì sọ fún mi nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa pé, ‘Mú un padà wá sí ilé rẹ, kí ó lè jẹ oúnjẹ àti kí ó lè mu omi.’” (Ṣùgbọ́n ó purọ́ fún un ni.)
19 And he led him back with him. Then he ate bread and drank water in his house.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà sì padà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, ó sì jẹ oúnjẹ ó sì mu omi ní ilé rẹ̀.
20 And while they were sitting at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had led him back.
Bí wọ́n sì ti jókòó ti tábìlì, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ wòlíì tí ó mú un padà wá pé;
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,
Ó sì kígbe sí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run tí ó ti Juda wá wí pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: ‘Ìwọ ti ba ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa jẹ́, ìwọ kò sì pa àṣẹ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ fi fún ọ mọ́.
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.”
Ìwọ padà, ìwọ sì ti jẹ oúnjẹ, ìwọ sì ti mu omi níbi tí ó ti sọ fún ọ pé kí ìwọ kí ó má ṣe jẹ oúnjẹ tàbí mu omi. Nítorí náà, a kì yóò sin òkú rẹ sínú ibojì àwọn baba rẹ.’”
23 And when he had eaten and had drunk, he saddled his donkey for the prophet whom he had led back.
Nígbà tí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run sì ti jẹun tán àti mu omi tan, wòlíì tí ó ti mú u padà sì di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ní gàárì fún un.
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.
Bí ó sì ti ń lọ ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀, kìnnìún kan pàdé rẹ̀ ní ọ̀nà, ó sì pa á, a sì gbé òkú rẹ̀ sọ sí ojú ọ̀nà, pẹ̀lú kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ àti kìnnìún tí ó dúró tì í lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́.
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.
Àwọn ènìyàn tí ó ń kọjá sì rí pé ó gbé òkú náà sọ sí ojú ọ̀nà, kìnnìún náà sì dúró ti òkú náà; wọ́n sì wá, wọ́n sì sọ ọ́ ní ìlú tí wòlíì àgbà náà ń gbé.
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.”
Nígbà tí wòlíì tí ó mú un padà wá láti ọ̀nà rẹ̀ sì gbọ́ èyí, ó sì wí pé, “Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà ni tí ó ba ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa jẹ́. Olúwa sì ti fi lé kìnnìún lọ́wọ́, tí ó sì fà á ya, tí ó sì pa á, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó ti kìlọ̀ fún un.”
27 And he said to his sons, “Saddle a donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it,
Wòlíì náà sì wí fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ní gàárì fún mi,” wọ́n sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
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.
Nígbà náà ni ó sì jáde lọ, ó sì rí òkú náà tí a gbé sọ sí ojú ọ̀nà, pẹ̀lú kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ àti kìnnìún tí ó dúró lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ̀. Kìnnìún náà kò sì jẹ òkú náà, tàbí fa kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ náà ya.
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.
Nígbà náà ni wòlíì náà gbé òkú ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà, ó sì gbé e lé orí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, ó sì gbé e padà wá sí ìlú ara rẹ̀ láti ṣọ̀fọ̀ fún un àti láti sin ín.
30 And he placed his dead body in his own sepulcher. And they mourned for him, saying: “Alas! Alas! My brother!”
Nígbà náà ni ó gbé òkú náà sínú ibojì ara rẹ̀, wọ́n sì ṣọ̀fọ̀ lórí rẹ̀, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ó ṣe, arákùnrin mi!”
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.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti sìnkú rẹ̀ tán, ó sì wí fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Nígbà tí mo bá kú, ẹ sin mí ní ibojì níbi tí a sin ènìyàn Ọlọ́run sí; ẹ tẹ́ egungun mi lẹ́bàá egungun rẹ̀.
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.”
Nítorí iṣẹ́ tí ó jẹ́ nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sí pẹpẹ tí ó wà ní Beteli àti sí gbogbo ojúbọ lórí ibi gíga tí ń bẹ ní àwọn ìlú Samaria yóò wá sí ìmúṣẹ dájúdájú.”
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.
Lẹ́yìn nǹkan yìí, Jeroboamu kò padà kúrò nínú ọ̀nà búburú rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ó tún yan àwọn àlùfáà sí i fún àwọn ibi gíga nínú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn. Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fẹ́ di àlùfáà, a yà á sọ́tọ̀ fún ibi gíga wọ̀nyí.
34 And for this reason, the house of Jeroboam sinned, and was uprooted, and was wiped from the face of the earth.
Èyí sì ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ilé Jeroboamu, èyí tí ó yọrí sí ìṣubú rẹ̀, a sì pa á run kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
