1 Kings 13
1 And, behold, there came a man of Elohim out of Judah by the word of YHWH unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
Omusajja wa Katonda n’ajja e Beseri okuva mu Yuda olw’ekigambo kya Mukama, n’asanga Yerobowaamu ng’ayimiridde mu maaso g’ekyoto ng’ateekateeka okwotereza obubaane.
2 And he cried against the altar in the word of YHWH, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith YHWH; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.
N’ayogerera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka eri ekyoto olw’ekigambo kya Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Ayi ekyoto, ekyoto! Kino Mukama ky’agamba nti, ‘Omwana erinnya lye Yosiya alizaalibwa mu nnyumba ya Dawudi, ku ggwe kw’aliweerayo bakabona ab’ebifo ebigulumivu ng’ebiweebwayo era n’amagumba g’abantu galyokerwa ku ggwe.’”
3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which YHWH hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
Ku lunaku olwo omusajja wa Katonda n’awa akabonero: “Kano ke kabonero Mukama kalangirira. Ekyoto kiryatika n’evvu lyakyo liriyiyibwa ebweru.”
4 And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of Elohim, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.
Awo kabaka Yerobowaamu bwe yawulira omusajja wa Katonda bye yayogera, n’ayogera n’eddoboozi eddene ku kyoto e Beseri ng’awanise omukono gwe mu maaso g’ekyoto nti, “Mumukwate!” Omukono gwe yawanika eri omusajja wa Katonda ne gukala ne gukalambalirayo n’okuyinza n’atayinza kuguzza.
5 The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of Elohim had given by the word of YHWH.
N’ekyoto ne kyatikamu, n’evvu ne liyiika ng’akabonero omusajja wa Katonda ke yawa olw’ekigambo kya Mukama.
6 And the king answered and said unto the man of Elohim, Intreat now the face of YHWH thy Elohim, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of Elohim besought YHWH, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
Awo Kabaka n’agamba omusajja wa Katonda nti, “Negayiririra Mukama Katonda wo, onsabire omukono gwange guwonyezebwe.” Omusajja wa Katonda n’amwegayiririra eri Mukama, omukono gwe ne guddawo nga bwe gwali olubereberye.
7 And the king said unto the man of Elohim, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
Kabaka n’agamba omusajja wa Katonda nti, “Jjangu eka ewange obeeko ky’olya, n’okukuwa nkuweeyo ekirabo.”
8 And the man of Elohim said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
Naye omusajja wa Katonda n’agamba kabaka nti, “Ne bw’onompa ekitundu ky’obugagga bwo, sijja kugenda naawe, wadde okulya omugaati oba okunywa amazzi wano.
9 For so was it charged me by the word of YHWH, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.
Kubanga nkuutiddwa ekigambo kya Mukama nti, ‘Tolya mugaati newaakubadde okunywa amazzi wadde okuddira mu kkubo ly’ojjiddemu.’”
10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.
Awo n’addirayo mu kkubo eddala, so si mu eryo lye yajjiramu e Beseri.
11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of Elohim had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
Awo mu biro ebyo waaliwo nnabbi omukadde eyabeeranga mu Beseri, eyategeezebwa batabani be ebyo byonna omusajja wa Katonda bye yali akoze ku lunaku olwo, ne bye yali agambye kabaka.
12 And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of Elohim went, which came from Judah.
Kitaabwe n’ababuuza nti, “Akutte kkubo ki?” Awo batabani be ne bamulaga ekkubo omusajja wa Katonda ow’e Yuda ly’akutte.
13 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,
Awo n’agamba batabani be nti, “Munteekereteekere endogoyi.” Bwe baamala okumutegekera endogoyi, n’agyebagala,
14 And went after the man of Elohim, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of Elohim that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.
n’akwata ekkubo omusajja wa Katonda lye yali akutte. Yamusanga atudde wansi w’omwera, n’amubuuza nti, “Gwe musajja wa Katonda eyavudde e Yuda?” N’addamu nti, “Nze nzuuno.”
15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
Awo nnabbi n’amugamba nti, “Tuddeyo eka olye ku mmere.”
16 And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
Omusajja wa Katonda n’amuddamu nti, “Siyinza kuddayo newaakubadde okugenda naawe, wadde okulya omugaati oba okunywa amazzi naawe mu kifo kino.
17 For it was said to me by the word of YHWH, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
Ndagiddwa ekigambo kya Mukama nti, ‘Toteekwa kulyayo ku mmere newaakubadde okunywayo amazzi, wadde okuddirayo mu kkubo lye wajjiddemu.’”
18 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of YHWH, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
Awo nnabbi omukadde n’amuddamu nti, “Nze nange ndi nnabbi nga ggwe. Era malayika yaŋŋambye ekigambo kya Katonda nti, ‘Mukomyewo mu nnyumba yo alye ku mmere anywe ne ku mazzi.’” Naye yali amulimba.
19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
Awo omusajja wa Katonda n’addayo naye mu nnyumba ye n’alya era n’anywa.
20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of YHWH came unto the prophet that brought him back:
Bwe baali batudde nga balya, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira nnabbi omukadde eyali amukomezzaawo.
21 And he cried unto the man of Elohim that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith YHWH, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of YHWH, and hast not kept the commandment which YHWH thy Elohim commanded thee,
N’ayogerera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka eri omusajja wa Katonda eyava mu Yuda nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Ojeemedde ekigambo kya Mukama era tokuumye kiragiro Mukama Katonda kye yakulagidde.
22 But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which YHWH did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
Wakomyewo n’olya emmere era n’onywa amazzi mu kifo kye yakugaanye okulyamu wadde okunywamu amazzi. Noolwekyo omulambo gwo teguliziikibwa mu ntaana ya bajjajjaabo.’”
23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
Omusajja wa Katonda bwe yamala okulya n’okunywa, nnabbi oli eyali amukomezzaawo, n’ategeka endogoyi y’omusajja wa Katonda.
24 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.
Awo bwe yali ng’ali ku lugendo lwe, empologoma n’emusangiriza n’emutta, era n’esuula omulambo gwe ku kkubo, empologoma n’endogoyi ne biyimirira okumpi nagwo.
25 And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
Laba, abantu abamu abaalaba omulambo nga gusuuliddwa wansi, nga n’empologoma eyimiridde kumpi nagwo, ne bagenda mu kibuga nnabbi mwe yabeeranga ne bategeeza abaayo.
26 And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of Elohim, who was disobedient unto the word of YHWH: therefore YHWH hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of YHWH, which he spake unto him.
Nnabbi eyali amukomezzaawo bwe yakiwulira n’ayogera nti, “Ye musajja wa Katonda ataagondedde kigambo kya Mukama. Mukama amuwaddeyo eri empologoma emutaagudde n’emutta, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe ky’amulabudde.”
27 And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.
Awo nnabbi n’agamba batabani be nti, “Muntegekere endogoyi.” Ne bagimutegekera.
28 And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass.
Nagenda n’asanga omulambo gw’omusajja wa Katonda nga gusuuliddwa mu kkubo n’endogoyi n’empologoma nga ziyimiridde kumpi nagwo; empologoma nga teridde mulambo so nga tetaaguddetaagudde ndogoyi.
29 And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of Elohim, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.
Nnabbi n’asitula omulambo gw’omusajja wa Katonda n’aguteeka ku ndogoyi, era n’aguzzaayo mu kibuga kye n’amukungubagira, omulambo n’aguziika.
30 And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
N’ateeka omulambo gwe mu ntaana ye ye, ne bamukungubagira nga bakaaba nti, “Woowe, muganda wange!”
31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of Elohim is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
Awo bwe baamala okumuziika, n’agamba batabani be nti, “Bwe nfanga, munziikanga mu ntaana omusajja wa Katonda mw’aziikiddwa; muteekanga amagumba gange kumpi n’amagumba ge.
32 For the saying which he cried by the word of YHWH against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
Ekigambo kya Mukama, omusajja wa Katonda kye yayogera n’eddoboozi ery’omwanguka ku kyoto ekiri mu Beseri ne ku masabo ag’ebifo ebigulumivu ebiri mu bibuga eby’e Samaliya, tekirirema kutuukirira.”
33 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.
Oluvannyuma lw’ekigambo ekyo Yerobowaamu n’atakyuka kuleka amakubo ge amabi, naye ne yeeyongera nate okussaawo bakabona ab’ebifo ebigulumivu ng’abaggya mu bantu abaabulijjo. Buli eyayagalanga okubeera kabona, n’amwawulanga okubeera mu bifo ebigulumivu.
34 And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
Kino kye kyali ekibi ky’ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu ekyagireetera okugwa, okugimalawo n’okugizikiriza okuva ku nsi.
