1 Kings 13
1 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
| یک روز وقتی یربعام پادشاه کنار مذبح بیت‌ئیل ایستاده بود تا قربانی کند، یک نبی که به دستور خداوند از یهودا آمده بود به او نزدیک شد. |
2 And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus says the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon you shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon you, and men's bones shall be burnt upon you.
| او به فرمان خداوند خطاب به مذبح گفت: «ای مذبح، ای مذبح، خداوند می‌فرماید که پسری به نام یوشیا در خاندان داوود متولد می‌شود و کاهنان بتخانه‌ها را که در اینجا بخور می‌سوزانند، روی تو قربانی می‌کند و استخوانهای انسان روی آتش تو می‌سوزاند!» |
3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD has spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
| سپس اضافه کرد: «این مذبح شکافته خواهد شد و خاکسترش به اطراف پراکنده خواهد گردید تا بدانید آنچه می‌گویم از جانب خداوند است!» |
4 And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, 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.
| یربعام پادشاه وقتی سخنان نبی را که به ضد مذبح بیت‌ئیل گفته بود شنید، دست خود را به طرف او دراز کرده دستور داد او را بگیرند. ولی دست پادشاه همان‌طور که دراز شده بود، خشک شد به طوری که نتوانست دست خود را حرکت بدهد! |
5 The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
| در این موقع، مذبح هم شکافته شد و خاکستر آن به اطراف پراکنده شد، درست همان‌طور که آن نبی به فرمان خداوند گفته بود. |
6 And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Implore now the face of the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
| یربعام پادشاه به آن نبی گفت: «تمنا دارم دعا کنی و از خداوند، خدای خود بخواهی دست مرا به حالت اول برگرداند.» پس او نزد خداوند دعا کرد و دست پادشاه به حالت اول برگشت. |
7 And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.
| آنگاه پادشاه به نبی گفت: «به کاخ من بیا و خوراک بخور. می‌خواهم به تو پاداشی بدهم.» |
8 And the man of God said unto the king, If you will give me half your house, I will not go in with you, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
| ولی آن نبی به پادشاه گفت: «اگر حتی نصف کاخ سلطنتی خود را به من بدهی همراه تو نمی‌آیم. در اینجا نه نان می‌خورم و نه آب می‌نوشم؛ |
9 For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way that you came.
| زیرا خداوند به من فرموده که تا وقتی در اینجا هستم نه نان بخورم و نه آب بنوشم و حتی از راهی که آمده‌ام به یهودا برنگردم!» |
10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.
| پس او از راه دیگری رهسپار یهودا شد. |
11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
| در آن زمان در شهر بیت‌ئیل نبی پیری زندگی می‌کرد. پسرانش دربارهٔ نبی تازه وارد به او خبر دادند و گفتند که چه کرده و به پادشاه چه گفته است. |
12 And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.
| نبی پیر پرسید: «او از کدام راه رفت؟» پسرانش راهی را که آن نبی رفته بود، به پدرشان نشان دادند. |
13 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,
| پیرمرد گفت: «زود الاغ مرا آماده کنید!» پسران او الاغ را برایش حاضر کردند و او سوار شده، |
14 And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Are you the man of God that came from Judah? And he said, I am.
| به دنبال آن نبی رفت و او را زیر یک درخت بلوط نشسته یافت. پس از او پرسید: «آیا تو همان نبی یهودا هستی؟» جواب داد: «بله، خودم هستم.» |
15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
| نبی پیر به او گفت: «همراه من به خانه‌ام بیا تا با هم خوراکی بخوریم.» |
16 And he said, I may not return with you, nor go in with you: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place:
| اما او در جواب گفت: «نه، من نمی‌توانم بیایم، چون خداوند به من دستور داده که در بیت‌ئیل چیزی نخورم و ننوشم و حتی از آن راهی که آمده‌ام به خانه برنگردم.» |
17 For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, You shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor return to go by the way that you came.
18 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as you are; and an angel spoke unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
| پیرمرد به او گفت: «من هم مثل تو نبی هستم و فرشته‌ای از جانب خداوند پیغام داده که تو را پیدا کنم و با خود به خانه ببرم و به تو نان و آب بدهم.» اما او دروغ می‌گفت. |
19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
| پس آن دو با هم به شهر برگشتند و او در خانهٔ آن نبی پیر خوراک خورد. |
20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:
| در حالی که آنها هنوز بر سر سفره بودند پیغامی از جانب خداوند به آن نبی پیر رسید |
21 And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus says the LORD, Forasmuch as you have disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and have not kept the commandment which the LORD your God commanded you,
| و او هم به نبی یهودا گفت: «خداوند می‌فرماید که چون از دستور او سرپیچی کردی و در جایی که به تو گفته بود نان نخوری و آب ننوشی، نان خوردی و آب نوشیدی، بنابراین جنازهٔ تو در گورستان اجدادت دفن نخواهد شد!» |
22 But came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to you, Eat no bread, and drink no water; your carcass shall not come unto the tomb of your fathers.
23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to know, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
| بعد از صرف غذا، نبی پیر، الاغ نبی یهودا را آماده کرد |
24 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcass was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcass.
| و او را روانهٔ سفر نمود؛ ولی در بین راه، شیری به او برخورد و او را درید. کسانی که از آن راه می‌گذشتند، جنازهٔ نبی یهودا را در وسط راه و شیر و الاغ را ایستاده در کنار او دیدند. پس به بیت‌ئیل که نبی پیر در آن زندگی می‌کرد، آمدند و به مردم خبر دادند. |
25 And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcass cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcass: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
26 And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD has delivered him unto the lion, which has torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke unto him.
| وقتی این خبر به گوش نبی پیر رسید او گفت: «این جنازهٔ آن نبی است که از فرمان خداوند سرپیچی کرد. پس خداوند هم آن شیر را فرستاد تا او را بدرد. او مطابق کلام خداوند کشته شد.» |
27 And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.
| بعد او به پسران خود گفت: «زود الاغ مرا آماده کنید.» آنها الاغش را آماده کردند. |
28 And he went and found his carcass cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten the carcass, nor torn the ass.
| او رفت و جنازهٔ آن نبی را پیدا کرد و دید که شیر و الاغ هنوز در کنار جسد ایستاده‌اند. شیر نه جسد را خورده بود و نه الاغ را. |
29 And the prophet took up the carcass of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.
| پس جنازه را روی الاغ گذاشت و به شهر آورد تا برایش سوگواری کرده، او را دفن نماید. |
30 And he laid his carcass in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
| او جنازهٔ نبی یهودا را در قبرستان خاندان خود دفن کرد. بعد برای او ماتم گرفته، گفتند: «ای برادر… ای برادر…» |
31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
| آنگاه نبی پیر به پسران خود گفت: «وقتی من مُردم، در همین قبر دفنم کنید تا استخوانهای من در کنار استخوانهای این نبی بماند. |
32 For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD 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.
| هر چه او به فرمان خداوند دربارهٔ مذبح بیت‌ئیل و بتخانه‌های شهرهای سامره گفت، به‌یقین واقع خواهد شد.» |
33 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the low of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.
| و اما یربعام، پادشاه اسرائیل، با وجود اخطار نبی یهودا از راه بد خود برنگشت و همچنان برای بتخانه‌های خود از میان مردم عادی کاهن تعیین می‌کرد، به طوری که هر که می‌خواست کاهن شود یربعام او را به کاهنی منصوب می‌کرد. |
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.
| این گناه یربعام بود که سرانجام به نابودی تمام خاندان او منجر شد. |
