1 Kings 13
1 And beholde, there came a man of God out of Iudah (by the commandement of the Lord) vnto Beth-el, and Ieroboam stoode by the altar to offer incense.
Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũmwe wa Ngai nĩ oimire Juda arĩ na ndũmĩrĩri ya Ngai, agĩthiĩ Betheli, agĩkora Jeroboamu arũgamĩte kĩgongona-inĩ arute igongona.
2 And he cryed against the altar by the comandement of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord, Beholde, a child shalbe borne vnto the house of Dauid, Iosiah by name, and vpon thee shall he sacrifice the Priestes of the hie places that burne incense vpon thee, and they shall burne mens bones vpon thee.
Akĩanĩrĩra, agĩũkĩrĩra kĩgongona kĩu na ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova, agĩkĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee kĩgongona gĩkĩ, kĩgongona gĩkĩ! Jehova ekuuga ũũ, ‘Nyũmba ya Daudi nĩgũgaciarwo kaana ga kahĩĩ, nako gageetwo Josia. Nako nĩgakaruta athĩnjĩrĩ-Ngai a gũkũ gũtũũgĩru igongona haha igũrũ rĩaku, o acio marutagĩra magongona haha, na mahĩndĩ ma andũ nĩmagacinĩrwo igũrũ rĩaku.’”
3 And he gaue a signe the same time, saying, This is the signe, that the Lord hath spoken, Behold, the altar shall rent, and the ashes that are vpon it, shall fall out.
Mũthenya o ro ũcio, mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai akĩheana kĩmenyithia, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩmenyithia kĩrĩa Jehova onanĩtie: Kĩgongona nĩgĩgwatũkana, naguo mũhu ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ rĩakĩo ũitĩke.”
4 And when the King had heard the saying of the man of God, which he had cryed against the altar in Beth-el, Ieroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, Lay holde on him: but his hande which he put foorth against him, dryed vp, and he could not pull it in againe to him.
Rĩrĩa Mũthamaki Jeroboamu aaiguire ũrĩa mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai aanĩrĩire agokĩrĩra kĩgongona kĩu kĩarĩ Betheli, agĩtambũrũkia guoko gwake arĩ kĩgongona-inĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũnyiitei!” No rĩrĩ, guoko kũu aatambũrũkĩirie mũndũ ũcio gũkĩonja, na ndangĩahotire gũgũthuna rĩngĩ.
5 The altar also claue asunder, and the ashes fell out from the altar, according to the signe, which the man of God had giuen by the commandement of the Lord.
Nakĩo kĩgongona kĩu gĩgĩatũkana, naguo mũhu wakĩo ũgĩitĩka, kũringana na kĩmenyithia kĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai aheanĩte na ũndũ wa ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova.
6 Then the King answered, and saide vnto the man of God, I beseeche thee, pray vnto ye Lord thy God, and make intercession for me, that mine hand may bee restored vnto me. And the man of God besought the Lord, and the Kings hand was restored, and became as it was afore.
Ningĩ mũthamaki akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai atĩrĩ, “Thaithanĩra harĩ Jehova Ngai waku, na ũũhooere nĩguo guoko gwakwa kũhonio.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai agĩthaitha Jehova, nakuo guoko kwa mũthamaki gũkĩhona na gũgĩcooka o ũrĩa kwarĩ mbere.
7 Then the King sayde vnto the man of God, Come home with mee, that thou mayest dyne, and I will giue thee a reward.
Mũthamaki akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai atĩrĩ, “Ũka tũthiĩ mũciĩ ũkarĩe, na nĩngũkũhe kĩheo.”
8 But the man of God saide vnto the King, If thou wouldest giue me halfe thine house, I would not goe in with thee, neither woulde I eate bread nor drinke water in this place.
No mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai agĩcookeria mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “O na korwo no ũhe nuthu ya indo ciaku-rĩ, niĩ ndingĩthiĩ nawe, o na ndingĩrĩa irio kana nyue maaĩ gũkũ.
9 For so was it charged mee by the worde of the Lord, saying, Eate no bread nor drinke water, nor turne againe by the same way that thou camest.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩnjathĩtwo nĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova, ngeerwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkanarĩe irio, kana ũnyue maaĩ, o na kana ũcookere njĩra ĩrĩa wagereire ũgĩthiĩ.’”
10 So he went another way and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgera njĩra ĩngĩ na ndaacookeire ĩrĩa aagereire agĩthiĩ Betheli.
11 And an olde Prophet dwelt in Beth-el, and his sonnes came and tolde him all ye woorkes, that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el, and the wordes which he had spoken vnto the King, tolde they their father.
Na rĩrĩ, nĩ kwarĩ mũnabii mũkũrũ watũũraga Betheli, nao ariũ ake magĩũka makĩmwĩra maũndũ marĩa mothe mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai eekĩte kũu mũthenya ũcio. O na ningĩ makĩhe ithe wao ũhoro ũrĩa eerire mũthamaki.
12 And their father sayde vnto them, What way went he? and his sonnes shewed him what waye the man of God went, which came from Iudah.
Ithe wao akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Agereire njĩra ĩrĩkũ?” Nao ariũ ake makĩmuonia njĩra ĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai woimĩte Juda aagereire.
13 And hee saide vnto his sonnes, Saddle mee the asse. Who sadled him the asse, and hee rode thereon,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩĩra ariũ ake atĩrĩ, “Ndandĩkĩrai ndigiri.” Nao marĩkia kũmũtandĩkĩra ndigiri akĩmĩikarĩra
14 And went after the man of God, and found him sitting vnder an oke: and he saide vnto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Iudah? And he sayd, Yea.
na akĩrũmĩrĩra mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai. Akĩmũkora aikarĩte thĩ rungu rwa mũtĩ wa mũgandi, akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwe mũndũ wa Ngai ũrĩa uumĩte Juda?” Mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ “Ĩĩ nĩ niĩ.”
15 Then he said vnto him, Come home with me, and eate bread.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũnabii ũcio mũkũrũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka tũthiĩ mũciĩ ũkarĩe.”
16 But he answered, I may not returne with thee, nor go in with thee, neither wil I eate bread nor drinke water with thee in this place.
Mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndingĩcooka na thuutha tũthiĩ nawe, o na ningĩ ndingĩrĩa irio kana nyuanĩre maaĩ nawe gũkũ.
17 For it was charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, Thou shalt eate no bread, nor drinke water there, nor turne againe to goe by the way that thou wentest.
Tondũ nĩnjĩĩrĩtwo nĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkanarĩe irio kana ũnyue maaĩ kũu o na kana ũcookere njĩra ĩrĩa wagereire ũgĩthiĩ.’”
18 And he said vnto him, I am a Prophet also as thou art, and an Angel spake vnto me by the worde of the Lord, saying, Bring him againe with thee into thine house, that hee may eate bread and drinke water: but he lyed vnto him.
Mũnabii ũcio mũkũrũ akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “O na niĩ ndĩ mũnabii tawe. Mũraika nĩanjarĩirie na kiugo kĩa Jehova anjĩĩra atĩrĩ: ‘Mũgĩĩre mũcooke nake gwaku mũciĩ nĩguo arĩe irio na anyue maaĩ.’” (No nĩkũmũheenia aamũheenagia).
19 So he went againe with him, and did eate bread in his house, and dranke water.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai agĩcooka nake gwake mũciĩ, akĩrĩa na akĩnyua.
20 And as they sate at the table, the worde of the Lord came vnto the Prophet, that brought him againe.
Maikarĩte o metha-inĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinyĩra mũnabii ũcio mũkũrũ ũrĩa wacooketie mũnabii wa kuuma Juda na thuutha.
21 And hee cried vnto the man of God that came from Iudah, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, Because thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandement which the Lord thy God commanded thee,
Akĩanĩrĩra, akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai ũrĩa woimĩte Juda atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Nĩũreganĩte na kiugo kĩa Jehova, na ũkaaga kũrũmia watho ũrĩa waathirwo nĩ Jehova Ngai waku.
22 But camest backe againe, and hast eaten bread and drunke water in the place (whereof he did say vnto thee, Thou shalt eate no bread nor drinke any water) thy carkeis shall not come vnto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
No nĩũcookete na thuutha, na ũkarĩa irio na ũkanyua maaĩ kũndũ kũrĩa aakwĩrire ndũkaarĩe na ndũkanyue kĩndũ kuo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwĩrĩ waku ndũgaathikwo mbĩrĩra-inĩ ya maithe maku.’”
23 And when he had eaten bread and drunke, he sadled him the asse, to wit, to the Prophet whome he had brought againe.
Rĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai aarĩkirie kũrĩa na kũnyua-rĩ, mũnabii ũrĩa wamũcooketie na thuutha akĩmũtandĩkĩra ndigiri yake.
24 And when hee was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slewe him, and his body was cast in the way, and the asse stoode thereby: the lion stood by the corps also.
Na agĩthiĩ na njĩra-rĩ, agĩtũngana na mũrũũthi ũkĩmũũraga, naguo mwĩrĩ wake ũkĩgũa thĩ hau njĩra-inĩ, nayo ndigiri na mũrũũthi cierĩ ikĩrũgama hau mwĩrĩ warĩ.
25 And beholde, men that passed by, sawe the carkeis cast in the way, and the lion standing by the corps: and they came and tolde it in ye towne where the olde Prophet dwelt.
Andũ amwe arĩa maahĩtũkagĩra hau makĩona mwĩrĩ ũgũĩte hau thĩ, na mũrũũthi ũrũgamĩte o hau mwĩrĩ warĩ, nao magĩthiĩ makĩheana ũhoro ũcio itũũra-inĩ inene rĩrĩa mũnabii ũcio mũkũrũ aatũũraga.
26 And when the Prophet that brought him backe againe from the waye, hearde thereof, hee sayde, It is the man of God, who hath bene disobedient vnto the commandement of the Lord: therefore the Lord hath deliuered him vnto the lion, which hath rent him and slayne him, according to the worde of the Lord, which hee spake vnto him.
Rĩrĩa mũnabii ũrĩa wamũcooketie na thuutha kuuma rũgendo-inĩ rwake aiguire ũhoro ũcio, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũcio nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa wa Ngai ũrĩa ũrareganire na kiugo kĩa Jehova. Jehova nĩamũneanĩte kũrĩ mũrũũthi ũrĩa ũmũtambuurĩte na ũkaamũũraga, o ta ũrĩa kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩamwĩrĩte.”
27 And he spake to his sonnes, saying, Saddle me the asse. And they sadled him.
Mũnabii ũcio mũkũrũ akĩĩra ariũ ake atĩrĩ, “Ndandĩkĩrai ndigiri.” Nao magĩĩka o ũguo.
28 And he went and founde his body cast in the way, and the asse and the lion stoode by the corps: and the lion had not eaten the bodie, nor torne the asse.
Nake akiumagara agĩthiĩ, agĩkora mwĩrĩ ũgũithĩtio njĩra-inĩ, na mũrũũthi na ndigiri irũgamĩte o hau warĩ. Mũrũũthi ndwarĩte mwĩrĩ ũcio kana ũgatambuura ndigiri.
29 And the Prophet tooke vp the body of the man of God, and layed it vpon the asse, and brought it againe, and the olde Prophet came to the citie, to lament and burie him.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũnabii ũcio akĩoya mwĩrĩ wa mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai, akĩũigĩrĩra igũrũ rĩa ndigiri, akĩũcookia itũũra-inĩ rĩake inene nĩgeetha amũcakaĩre na amũthike.
30 And hee layed his bodie in his owne graue, and they lamented ouer him, saying, Alas, my brother.
Nake akĩiga mwĩrĩ ũcio mbĩrĩra-inĩ yake mwene, nao makĩmũcakaĩra makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ũũi mũrũ wa baba-ĩ!”
31 And when he had buried him, hee spake to his sonnes, saying, When I am dead, burie ye mee also in the sepulchre, wherein the man of God is buried: lay my bones beside his bones.
Aarĩkia kũmũthika, akĩĩra ariũ ake atĩrĩ, “Rĩrĩa ngaakua, mũgaathika mbĩrĩra-inĩ ĩno harĩa mũndũ ũyũ wa Ngai athikĩtwo; mũkaiga mahĩndĩ makwa hau mwena-inĩ wa mahĩndĩ make.
32 For that thing which he cried by the word of the Lord against the altar that is in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the hie places, which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to passe.
Nĩgũkorwo ũhoro ũrĩa aaheanire uumanĩte na kiugo kĩa Jehova wa gũũkĩrĩra kĩgongona kĩrĩa kĩrĩ Betheli o na mahooero mothe marĩa maarĩ kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru thĩinĩ wa matũũra ma Samaria-rĩ, ti-itherũ ũndũ ũcio no nginya ũkaahingio.”
33 Howbeit after this, Ieroboam conuerted not from his wicked way, but turned againe, and made of the lowest of the people Priests of the hie places. Who would, might consecrate him selfe, and be of the Priestes of the hie places.
O na thuutha wa maũndũ macio-rĩ, Jeroboamu ndaatiganire na njĩra ciake cia waganu, no aathiire na mbere kwamũra athĩnjĩri-ngai a kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, kuuma kũrĩ andũ a mĩthemba yothe. Mũndũ o wothe ũngĩendire gũtuĩka mũthĩnjĩri-ngai, nĩamwamũraga nĩ ũndũ wa kũndũ kũu gũtũũgĩru.
34 And this thing turned to sinne vnto the house of Ieroboam, euen to roote it out, and destroy it from the face of the earth.
Macio nĩmo maarĩ mehia ma nyũmba ya Jeroboamu marĩa maatũmire ĩgwe na ĩniinwo biũ yeherio gũkũ thĩ.
