1 Kings 13
1 The Lord ordered a man of God from Judah to go to Bethel. He arrived just as Jeroboam was standing beside the altar about to present a burnt offering.
Pakai thupeh dungjuiyin, Pathen mikhat Judahh akonin Bethel’ah ahungin, Jeroboam in maicham ajot’a gimnamtui hal ding agah got laitah’in aga lhung in ahi.
2 He shouted out the Lord's condemnation of the altar: “Altar, altar, this is what the Lord says. A son will be born to the house of David. His name will be Josiah, and on you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn offerings on you, and human bones will be burned on you.”
Hichun Pakai thupeh dungjuiyin, ahung apengjah jengin, “Vo maicham maicham! Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘David chilhah lah’a Josiah kiti khat hung peng ding ahi. Amahin tua cheptan loute maicham a lhacha’a pang ji ho, nachunga kilhaina gan thatji thempu ho hi nangma chunga athagam ding chule na chung ahi mihem gule chang hung kilhut vam ding ahi, tin ahung seije,” ati.
3 The same day the man of God gave a sign, saying, “This is the sign to prove that the Lord has spoken. Look! The altar will be split apart, and the ashes on it will spill out.”
Hiche nikho mama chun Pathen in a Thupeh adih ahi hetthei nan, melchihna khat apen ahi. Aman ajah’a, “Pakaiyin hiche melchihna hi pe dingin kitepna aneije; hiche maicham hi kehni hung kiso ding chule avut vam ho chu tol’a hung kithe lha ding ahi,” ati.
4 When King Jeroboam heard the condemnation the man of God had shouted out against the altar in Bethel, he pointed his hand at him and said, “Arrest him!” But the hand the king had pointed at him had become paralyzed and he couldn't draw it back.
Jeroboam Lengpan Bethel maicham douna hung kisei chu ajah phat in, themgaopa chu akoh-in, “Hiche pachu man un!” tin ahinsam tan ahi. Ahinlah hiche pettah chun Lengpa khut chu ahung ngoijin adingden tan, anung lahdoh jou tapon ahi.
5 The altar split apart, and the ashes spilled out from it, fulfilling the sign that the man of God had given from the Lord.
Hiche pettah chun maicham chu ahung lengkeh jengin, Pathen mipan aseibang bangin maicham sunga kon chun vutvam jouse chu ahung kibo lhan ahi.
6 Then the king said to the man of God, “Please plead with the Lord your God—pray for me that I may have my hand back!” The man of God pleaded with the Lord, and the king was given back the use of his hand as it was before.
Lengpa chu Pathen mipa kom’a hung peng jah jengin, “Pakai na Pathen heng’a ka khut adamthei na dingin nei taopeh tan,” ati. Hichun Pathen mipa chu Pakai kom’a atao tan ahile Lengpa khut chu adamhel jengin achat le theitan ahi.
7 Then the king said to the man of God, “Come to my home and have a meal so I can give you a present.”
Hichun Lengpan Pathen mipa kom a chun, “Hungin ka in lang’a che hi tin, an hung nen lang kipa thilpeh jong nape ing’e,” ati.
8 But the man of God told the king, “Even if you gave me half of everything you own, I still wouldn't go with you. In fact I refuse to eat or drink anything in this place.
Pathen mipan Lengpa kom achun, “Na lenggam akeh khat neipeh ding hi jong leh nang toh kilhon khom pong’e, keiman hiche mun’a hi nehle chah kahol lou ding ahi,
9 The Lord ordered me not to eat or drink anything, and not to return by the way I came.”
Ajeh chu Pakai Pathen in, nangman hiche munna naum laisea neh le chah nahol lou ding chuleh hiche lampi mama a hi Judah gam mun na hung kile kit ding ahi, tin athupeh einei jin ahi,” ati.
10 So he went a different way—he did not return the way he had come to Bethel.
Hijeh chun aman Bethel adalhan lam chom aho in ainlang ajon tan ahi.
11 It so happened that an old prophet lived in Bethel. His sons came and told him everything the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father what the man had said to the king.
Hichepet hin Bethel muna chun themgao tehse khat ana cheng in, chuin achapate chu ainmun’u ahunglhun phat in, Bethel a Pathen mipan athilbol ho chu ana seipeh tan ahi. Chuleh hiche Lengpa kom’a a thusei ho jong chu a seipeh un ahi.
12 “Which way did he go?” their father asked them. So his sons showed him the way taken by the man of God from Judah.
Hichun tehsepu chun, “Hoilang che tantem?” tin adong in ahi leh, amahon Pathen mipan hoiche lang pen aho ham tichu apao chu ana seipeh un ahi.
13 “Saddle up a donkey for me,” he told his sons. They saddled up a donkey and he got on.
Tehsepu chun achate kom ah, “Gangtah in sangan chung’a chun toupha nei koi loiyun,” atinle, achaten sangan chunga chu toupha chu akoi peh un, ama jong atou doh in,
14 He rode after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak tree. “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” he asked him. “Yes I am,” the man replied.
Pathen mipa chu adeltan ahileh, ama chu thingphung lentah khat noija chun ana tou agamudoh in ahi. Tehsepun, “Judah gam’a kona hung Pathen mipa chu na him?” atileh aman jong, “Henge ama chu ka hi naiye,” ati.
15 “Come home with me and have something to eat,” he told him.
Hichun aman Pathen mipa koma chun, “Hung in ka in ah bu hung nen,” ati.
16 “I can't turn around and go with you, and I won't eat or drink with you in this place,” the man of God replied.
Aman a donbut in, “Ahipoi kei hung thei pong’e, keima hiche mun’a hi anneh tuidon bol thei pong’e,
17 “The Lord ordered me, saying ‘You must not eat or drink anything there, or return by the way you came.’”
Ajeh chu Pakaiyin hiche munna naum laisen anneh tuidon nabol lou ding ahi, chu leh na hungna lampi hi mang cha a nahung kile theilou ding ahi, tin ei sei peh in ahi,” ati.
18 But the old prophet told him, “I am also a prophet, just like you. An angel told me God said, ‘Take him home with you so that he can have something to eat and drink’” But he was lying to him.
Ahin tehsepun adonbut in, “Kei jong themgao khat kahi, Pakaiya konin vantil khat in hiche thupeh hi ei hinpen, ama chu na in’a pui inlang an nehsah in tui donsah in eiti,” ati. Amavang tehsepu chun ajou asei ahi.
19 So the man of God went back with him, and ate and drank in his house.
Hiti chun akinungle lhontan, Pathen mipan tehsepu in achun an anen, tui adon tan ahi.
20 As they were sitting at the table, a message from the Lord came to the prophet who had brought him back.
Hitia chu amani atou khompet lhon chun Pakaija konin Themgao tehsepu kom achun thupeh khat ahung lhung tan ahile,
21 He called out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the Lord says: Because you have disobeyed the word of the Lord and have not followed the orders that the Lord your God gave you,
Ama jong Judahh a kona hung Pathen mipa koma chun apeng jah in, “Nangin Pakai thupeh chu na sukeh’in, Pakai na Pathen in thu napeh dungjui jin na chon tapoi.
22 instead you went back and ate and drank in the place where he told you not to, your body will not be buried in the tomb of your fathers.”
Hilai munna na hung kilen, na nen, na don in, ne hih in don hih in kati chu na sumil tai. Hiti ahiyeh chun, natahsa hi napu napate lupna a kivuilou ding ahitai,” ati.
23 After the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the prophet who had brought him back saddled his own donkey for him.
Pathen mipan aneh a adon jouvin Themgao tehsepu chun ama sangan chunga chun toupha apha dohpeh in,
24 But as he went on his way a lion came across him on the road and killed him. His body was left lying in the road, with both the donkey and the lion standing beside it.
Hichun Pathen mipa chu akipatdoh tan ahi. Hitia chu inlam jona ache laitah in, humpi khat atoh khan athat tan ahi. Atahsa chu lamlen chung ah akijamin, sangan le humpi chu ana ding khom lhonin ahi.
25 Some passers-by saw the body lying in the road with the lion standing beside it, so they went and let people know about it in the town where the old prophet lived.
Mi phabep in along lampia kijam le akoma sakei ding atoh khauvin, hichun Themgao tehsepu umna Bethel geiyin acheuvin athilmu u chu aga seipeh tauve.
26 When the old prophet who had led the other astray heard what had happened, he said, “It's the man of God who disobeyed the Lord's orders. That's why the Lord put him in the path of the lion, and it has mauled him and killed him, just as the Lord told him would happen.”
Themgao tehsepu chun athu ajahdoh phat’in, “Hiche Pathen mipa hin, Pathen thupeh anit lou ahin, Pakaiyin keipi chu athasah’a athusei chu asuh bulhit ahi tai,” atin ahi.
27 The prophet told his sons, “Saddle up a donkey for me.” So they saddled a donkey,
Themgaopa luipan chun achate kom’ah, “Sangan chung’a chun toupha hin koijun,” atin, ahin koipeh phat un,
28 and he went and found the body. It was still lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body or attacked the donkey.
Ama ache in, atahsa lamlen chunga lum chu agamu’n, a sangan leh humpi akom’a ana din nah lai vang'in, humpi chun ana nedeh pon chule Sangan jong chu ima ana tipon ahi.
29 The prophet picked up the body of the man of God, placed it on the donkey, and brought it back to his own town to mourn over him and bury him.
Themgaopa chun Pathen mipa tahsa chu a sangan chung’a chun akoijin, khopi lang a chun along op dingin ahin pon ahi.
30 He laid the body in his own tomb, and they mourned over him, crying, “My poor brother!”
Aman lhan’ah avui in, lhase tah in akap in “Vo ka sopipa,” atin ahi.
31 After he'd buried him, he told his sons, “When I die, bury me in the grave where the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones.
Hichejou chun Themgao pa chun achate kom’ah, “Keima ka thi teng leh Pathen mipa kivuina lhan ah hin nei hin vui uvin lang, kagu hi ama gu panga hin lupsah un,” ati.
32 For the message from the Lord that he gave in condemnation against the altar in Bethel, and against all the shrines on the high places in the towns of Samaria, will definitely happen.”
“Ajeh chu Pakaiyin Samaria khopi sung’a khopi holah a ki semdoh semthu pathen houna maicham leh Bethel maicham douna Pakaiyin ana phondohsa chu guilhung tei ding hija ahi,” ati.
33 But even after all this, Jeroboam did not change his evil ways. He went on choosing priests from all kinds of people. He appointed anyone who wanted to be a priest of the high places.
Ahivang in hitobang thilsoh nung jengin jong, Jeroboam in athilse bolna a konin akihei mangdeh pon ahi. Aman milham lah a konin Thempu ana lheng jing nalaiyin ahi. Semthu pathen houna doiphung’a thempu dingin apang nom jouse anapan sah jengin ahi.
34 This was because of this sin that the house of Jeroboam was wiped out, completely destroyed from the face of the earth.
Hiche hi chonset nasatah ahung hitan chule Jeroboam chilhah ho leiset chunga konin suhmang in aumlo tan ahi.
