< 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.
Ie amy zao nihirike e Iehoda ty ondatin’ Añahare, ami’ty tsara’ Iehovà, mb’e Betele mb’eo; ie nijohañe marine’ i kitreliy t’Iarovame hañemboke.
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.”
Le nikoihe’e amy kitreliy ty tsara’ Iehovà, ami’ty hoe: Ry kitrely, kitrely, hoe t’Iehovà: Maharendreha te hasamak’ añ’ anjomba’ i Davide ty ana-dahy; Iosià ty tahina’e; le ama’o ty hisoroña’e o mpisoron-toets’ abo misoroñe ama’oo le haforehetse ama’o eo ty taola’ondaty.
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.”
Nanolo-biloñe ka re amy andro zay, ami’ty hoe: Zao ty viloñe nitsarà’ Iehovà; Inao! ho riateñe o kitrelio vaho hadoañe ty lavenok’ ama’e.
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.
Aa ie jinanji’ i mpanjakay ty saontsi’ indatin’Añaharey, i nikoiha’e amy kitreli’ i Beteleiy, le natora-kitsi’ Iarovame boak’ amy kitreliy ty fità’e nanao ty hoe: Fihino re. Fe niforejeje i sirañe natora-kitsi’ey, le tsy nahafitarik’ aze mb’ ama’e.
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.
Nidreatse ka i kitreliy naho nidoañe boak’amy kitreliy o laveno’eo ty amy viloñe nitaroñe’ indatin’ Añaharey tie nitsara’ Iehovày.
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.
Aa le hoe ty natoi’ i mpanjakay am’ indatin’ Añaharey: Mihalalia am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ho ahiko, misolohoa ho ahy hañereña’e ty sirako. Aa le nihalaly am’ Iehovà indatin’ Añaharey naho niareñe ty fità’ i mpanjakay vaho nibalike ho amy do’e taoloy.
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.”
Aa hoe i mpanjakay am’ indatin’ Añaharey; Mihova amako ao, hanintsiña’o, le ho tolorako ravoravo.
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.
Le hoe t’indatin’Añahare amy mpanjakay: Ndra te natolo’o ahy ty an-tsasa’ i anjomba’oy, tsy ho nindrezako vaho tsy ho nihinañe mofo ndra rano ami’ ty toetse toy.
9 The Lord ordered me not to eat or drink anything, and not to return by the way I came.”
Amy te nafanto’ i tsara’ Iehovày amako ty hoe: Ko mikama mofo ndra rano vaho ko mimpoly mb’amy lalañe nimbà’o mb’eoy.
10 So he went a different way—he did not return the way he had come to Bethel.
Aa le nionjomb’ an-dalan-kafa mb’eo re, tsy nimpoly mb’amy lalañe nionjona’e mb’e Betele mb’eoy.
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.
Ie amy zao nimoneñe e Betele ao ty androanavy mpitoky; le niheo ama’e mb’eo ty ana’e raik’ nitalily ze hene fitoloñañe nanoe’ indatin’ Añaharey e Betele ao; naho nitalilie’ iereo an-drae’ iareo ka i lañonañe sinaontsi’e amy mpanjakaiy.
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.
Le hoe ty nanoen-drae’ am’iareo; Nimb’aia re? Toe nitrea’ o ana’eo ty lala’ nomba’ indatin’ Añahare hirik’e Iehoday.
13 “Saddle up a donkey for me,” he told his sons. They saddled up a donkey and he got on.
Le hoe re amo ana-dahi’eo: Adiaño ho ahy i borìkey. Aa le nidiañe’ iereo i borìkey naho niningira’e;
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.
vaho nihe­añe’e indatin’ Añaharey, le nitendrek’ aze niam­besatse ambane’ ty kobaiñe eo, vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Ihe hao indatin’Añahare boake Iehoday? Le hoe re, Ie.
15 “Come home with me and have something to eat,” he told him.
Aa le hoe re tama’e, Molia mb’amako vaho mikamà mofo.
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.
Le hoe re: Tsy hindre himpoly ama’o iraho, vaho tsy hitraofako lia; mbore tsy hiharo hihinañe mofo ndra hinon-drano ama’o an-toetse atoy.
17 “The Lord ordered me, saying ‘You must not eat or drink anything there, or return by the way you came.’”
Fa hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà nitsaraeñ’ amako: Tsy hikama mofo ndra hikama rano ao irehe, ndra mimpoly amy lalañe nionjona’o mb’eoy.
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.
Le hoe re ama’e: Mpitoky manahak’ azo ka ‘ni-raho; le nitsara amako ty anjely amy tsara’ Iehovày, ty hoe: Ampolio mb’añ’ anjomba’o mb’eo re hikama mofo naho hinon-drano; inay ty lañi’e.
19 So the man of God went back with him, and ate and drank in his house.
Aa le nindreza’e fimpoly, nikama mofo naho ninon-drano.
20 As they were sitting at the table, a message from the Lord came to the prophet who had brought him back.
Ie niambesatse am-pandambañañe eo, le niheo amy mpitoky ninday aze noliy ty tsara’ Iehovà.
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,
Le napaza’e ty hoe am’ indatin’ Añahare hirik’e Iehoday, Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà; Amy te ihe nanjehatse i falie’ Iehovày, naho tsy nambena’o i fañè nafanto’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oy,
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.”
te mone nibalike naho nikama mofo vaho ninon-drano an-toetse nitsarae’e ty hoe: Ko mikama mofo naho ko minon-drano; le tsy higodañe an-kiborin-droae’o ao ty fañova’o.
23 After the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the prophet who had brought him back saddled his own donkey for him.
Aa ie amy zao, naho fa nikama mofo naho ninon-drano, le nadia’e ho aze i borìke’ey, ho a i mpitoky nampi­hovae’ey.
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.
Aa ie nienga mb’eo, nitendreke liona nanjevoñ’ aze, ie nañifike i fañova’ey an-dalañey; nitsangañe añ’ila’e eo i borìkey, vaho nijohañe marine’ i fañovay i lionay.
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.
Inge amy zao ondaty niary eio, ie niisa’ iareo i fañova navokovoko an-dalañey, naho i liona nijagarodoñe marine’ i fañovaiy, le nimb’eo nita­lily an-drova nimoneña’ i androanavy mpitokiy.
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.”
Aa ie jinanji’ i mpitoky ninday aze moly boak’ amy lalañeiy, le hoe ty asa’e: Ie t’indatin’ Añahare nanjehatse i tsara’ Iehovày, toly ndra natolo’ Iehovà amy lionay, nirimite’e naho vinono’e ty amy tsara’ Iehovà nafe’e ama’ey.
27 The prophet told his sons, “Saddle up a donkey for me.” So they saddled a donkey,
Aa hoe ty natao’e amy ana’e rey: Diaño ho ahy i borikey. Aa le nidiañe’ iereo.
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.
Ie nimb’eo le nanjo i fañovay te nahi­fik’ an-dalañe eo, naho i borìkey, vaho i liona nijohañe marine’ i fañovaiy. Tsy nihane’ i lionay i fañovay vaho tsy nirimite’e i borìkey.
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.
Rinambe’ i mpitokiy ty fañova’ indatin’ Añaharey, le nasampe’e amy borìkey, vaho nen­dese’e nibalike mb’eo; ie nivotra­k’ an-drova’ i androanavy mpitokiy, le nandala naho nandentek’ aze.
30 He laid the body in his own tomb, and they mourned over him, crying, “My poor brother!”
Natsala­lampa’e amy kibori’ey i fañova’ey; le nandala’ iareo ami’ty hoe: Hoke, ry rahalahiko!
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.
Ie na­ndentek’ aze, le nafanto’e amy ana’e rey ty hoe, Naho mikenkan-draho, aleveño amy kibory nandentehañe indatin’ Añaharey; apoho marine’ o taola’eo o taolakoo.
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.”
Amy te tsy mete tsy hifetsake i tsara’ Iehovà nipazahe’e amy kitrely e Beteley naho amo fonga anjomba an-toets’ abo an-drova’ i Someroneo.
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.
Ie añe, tsy niba­lintoa amy sata-rati’ey t’Iarovame, fa nanoe’e mpisoroñe an-toets’ abo o boak’ am’ondaty tsotra iabio; toe noriza’e ho mpisoroñe an-toets’ abo ze hene nimete.
34 This was because of this sin that the house of Jeroboam was wiped out, completely destroyed from the face of the earth.
Ie nampanan-kakeo ty anjomba’ Iarovame, hañitoañe aze, naho hamon­gorañ’ aze ambone’ ty tane toy.
