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.
Awurade hyɛɛ Onyame onipa bi ma ɔkɔɔ Bet-El, na ɔduruu hɔ ɛberɛ a na Yeroboam rekɔ afɔrebukyia no ho akɔbɔ afɔdeɛ.
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.
Na ɔfiri Awurade ɔhyɛ nsɛm mu teaam guu afɔrebukyia no sɛ, “Ao, afɔrebukyia! Afɔrebukyia! Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: ‘Wɔbɛwo ɔbabarima bi a wɔbɛto no edin Yosia ato Dawid fie, na wo so na ɔde asɔfoɔ a wɔfiri asɔreeɛ so ha a wɔhye aduhwam ne nnipa nnompe no bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ!’”
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.
Ɛda no ara, Onyankopɔn onipa no yɛɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ, na ɔkaa sɛ, “Yei ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a Awurade ada no adi. Afɔrebukyia no mu bɛpae mmienu, na nsõ a ɛgu soɔ no ahwie agu.”
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.
Ɔhene Yeroboam bo fuu Onyame onipa yi sɛ wakasa atia afɔrebukyia yi. Enti ɔtenee ne nsa wɔ ne so, teaam sɛ, “Monkyere no!” Nanso, ne nsa a ɔtenee wɔ ɔbarima no so no senseneeɛ a wantumi anyɛ ho hwee.
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.
Na afɔrebukyia no mu paee mmienu, na nsõ a ɛgu so no hwie guiɛ, sɛdeɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a Onyankopɔn onipa nam Awurade ɔhyɛ nsɛm so daa no adi kyerɛeɛ no.
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.
Afei, ɔhene no srɛɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no sɛ, “Srɛ Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, ma me na me nsa no nnya ahoɔden.” Enti, Onyankopɔn onipa no srɛɛ Awurade maa no, na ɔhene no nsa nyaa ahoɔden ma ɛyɛɛ sɛdeɛ na ɛteɛ kane no.
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.
Afei, ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ fie, na kɔdidi, na mɛma wo akyɛdeɛ bi.”
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.
Nanso, Onyankopɔn onipa no buaa no sɛ, “Mpo, sɛ wode wʼagyapadeɛ mu fa bɛkyɛ me koraa a, me ne wo renkɔ, na burodo nso, merenni na manom nsuo wɔ ha.
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.
Awurade asɛm so na wɔnam hyɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ wodi burodo anaa wonom nsuo wɔ hɔ. Afei, nsane mfa ɛkwan a wofaa so kɔɔ Bet-El no so.’”
10 So he went another way and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el.
Enti, ɔfiri Bet-El faa ɛkwan foforɔ so, sɛ ɔrekɔ efie.
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 ɛbaa sɛ na odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa bi te Bet-El. Ne mmammarima bɛkaa deɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no ayɛ wɔ Bet-El da no nyinaa kyerɛɛ no. Afei, wɔkaa asɛm a waka akyerɛ ɔhene no nyinaa, kyerɛɛ wɔn agya no.
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.
Odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa no bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Na ɔfaa he?” Na ne mmammarima no kyerɛɛ no kwan a Onyankopɔn onipa no faa so kɔeɛ.
13 And hee saide vnto his sonnes, Saddle mee the asse. Who sadled him the asse, and hee rode thereon,
Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne mmammarima no sɛ, “Monhyehyɛ afunumu no mma me ntɛm.” Na wɔhyehyɛɛ afunumu no maa no no, ɔhuri tenaa ne so
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.
tii Onyankopɔn onipa no. Ɔkɔtoo no sɛ ɔte odum bi ase, na odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa no bisaa no sɛ, “Wo ne Onyankopɔn onipa a wofiri Yuda no anaa?” Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Aane, me a.”
15 Then he said vnto him, Come home with me, and eate bread.
Afei, odiyifoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ efie, na kɔdidi.”
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.
Onyankopɔn onipa no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Merentumi nsane mʼakyi. Menni ho ɛkwan sɛ medidi anaa menom nsuo wɔ ha.
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.
Awurade hyɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ wodi aduane biara anaa wonom nsuo ɛberɛ a wowɔ hɔ, anaa wofa ɛkwan a wofaa so kɔɔ hɔ no so sane wʼakyi.’”
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.
Odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa no buaa sɛ, “Me nso, meyɛ odiyifoɔ sɛ wo ara. Na ɔbɔfoɔ bi kaa Awurade asɛm kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Fa no sane bra wo fie, na ɔmmɛdidi na ɔnnom nsuo.’” Nanso na odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa no redaadaa no.
19 So he went againe with him, and did eate bread in his house, and dranke water.
Enti, Onyankopɔn onipa no ne no sane kɔeɛ, kɔdidi nomee wɔ ne fie.
20 And as they sate at the table, the worde of the Lord came vnto the Prophet, that brought him againe.
Ɛberɛ a wɔte didipono ho redidi no, nkra firi Awurade nkyɛn baa odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa no so.
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,
Ɔteaam guu Onyankopɔn onipa a ɔfiri Yuda no so sɛ, “Sei na Awurade ka: Woabu Awurade asɛm so, na woanni ahyɛdeɛ a Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, hyɛɛ wo no so.
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.
Wosane baa ha bɛdii aduane, nom nsuo, nanso ɔka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ nni hwee, nnom hwee. Esiane yei enti, wɔrensie wʼamu wɔ wʼagyanom damena mu.”
23 And when he had eaten bread and drunke, he sadled him the asse, to wit, to the Prophet whome he had brought againe.
Na Onyankopɔn onipa no didi nom wieeɛ no, odiyifoɔ no hyehyɛɛ nʼafunumu no maa no,
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 Onyankopɔn onipa no sii ɛkwan so bio. Na ɔrekɔ no ara, gyata bi ba bɛkumm no. Nʼamu no daa ɛkwan mu a, na afunumu no ne gyata no gyinagyina ho.
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.
Nnipa ba bɛtoo so sɛ amu no da ɛkwan mu a gyata no gyina ho. Enti, wɔkɔbɔɔ amaneɛ wɔ Bet-El baabi a odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa no te hɔ.
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.
Ɛberɛ a odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa no tee asɛm no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no a wanni Awurade ahyɛdeɛ so no. Awurade ama nʼasɛm no aba mu sɛ ɔmaa gyata to hyɛɛ no so, kumm no.”
27 And he spake to his sonnes, saying, Saddle me the asse. And they sadled him.
Na odiyifoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ ne mmammarima no sɛ, “Monhyehyɛ afunumu no mma me.” Na wɔhyehyɛɛ afunumu no.
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.
Ɔkɔeɛ kɔhunuu sɛ amu no da ɛkwan mu. Na afunumu no ne gyata no da so gyinagyina ne ho a, gyata no nwee amu no, nto nhyɛɛ afunumu no nso so.
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.
Enti, odiyifoɔ no faa Onyankopɔn onipa no amu no de no too nʼafunumu no so, sane de no kɔɔ kurom, kɔsuu no, siee no.
30 And hee layed his bodie in his owne graue, and they lamented ouer him, saying, Alas, my brother.
Ɔde amu no too nʼankasa ne damena mu, firii awerɛhoɔ mu, suu no sɛ, “Ao, me nua!”
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.
Akyire yi, odiyifoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ ne mmammarima no sɛ, “Sɛ mɛwu a, monsie me wɔ damena a wɔasie Onyankopɔn onipa wɔ mu no mu. Momfa me nnompe ngu ne nnompe ho.
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.
Na asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnka ntia afɔrebukyia a ɛwɔ Bet-El ne abosomfie no a ɛwowɔ Samaria nkuro so no, ɛbɛba mu.”
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.
Nanso, yei akyi koraa no, Yeroboam annane ne ho amfiri nʼakwammɔne no so. Ɔkɔɔ so yii asɔfoɔ firi nnipa no mu. Obiara a ɔpɛ no, ɔtumi yɛɛ ɔsɔfoɔ wɔ abosomfie hɔ.
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.
Yei bɛyɛɛ bɔne kɛseɛ, na ɛnam so sɛee Yeroboam ahemman, ma ne fiefoɔ nyinaa wuwuiɛ.
