1 Kings 13
1 And behold, a man of God has come from Judah, by the word of YHWH, to Beth-El, and Jeroboam is standing by the altar—to make 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 calls against the altar, by the word of YHWH, and says, “Altar! Altar! Thus said YHWH: Behold, a son is born to the house of David—Josiah [is] his name—and he has sacrificed on you the priests of the high places who are making incense on you, and bones of man are burned on you.”
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 has given a sign on that day, saying, “This [is] the sign that YHWH has spoken, Behold, the altar is torn, and the ashes that [are] on it [are] poured forth.”
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 it comes to pass, at the king’s hearing the word of the man of God that he calls against the altar in Beth-El, that Jeroboam puts forth his hand from off the altar, saying, “Catch him”; and his hand that he has put forth against him is dried up, and he is not able to bring it back to himself,
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 and the altar is torn, and the ashes [are] poured forth from the altar, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of YHWH.
Nakĩo kĩgongona kĩu gĩgĩatũkana, naguo mũhu wakĩo ũgĩitĩka, kũringana na kĩmenyithia kĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai aheanĩte na ũndũ wa ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova.
6 And the king answers and says to the man of God, “Please appease the face of your God YHWH, and pray for me, and my hand comes back to me”; and the man of God appeases the face of YHWH, and the hand of the king comes back to him, and it is as at the beginning.
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 And the king speaks to the man of God, “Come in with me to the house, and refresh yourself, and I give a gift to you.”
Mũthamaki akĩĩra mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai atĩrĩ, “Ũka tũthiĩ mũciĩ ũkarĩe, na nĩngũkũhe kĩheo.”
8 And the man of God says to the king, “If you give to me the half of your house, I do not go in with you, nor do I eat bread, nor do I drink 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 He commanded me by the word of YHWH, saying, You do not eat bread nor drink water, nor return in the way that you have come.”
Nĩgũkorwo nĩnjathĩtwo nĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova, ngeerwo atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkanarĩe irio, kana ũnyue maaĩ, o na kana ũcookere njĩra ĩrĩa wagereire ũgĩthiĩ.’”
10 And he goes on in another way, and has not turned back in the way in which he came in to Beth-El.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩgera njĩra ĩngĩ na ndaacookeire ĩrĩa aagereire agĩthiĩ Betheli.
11 And a certain aged prophet is dwelling in Beth-El, and his son comes and recounts to him every deed that the man of God has done today in Beth-El, the words that he has spoken to the king—indeed, they recount them to 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 says to them, “Where [is] this—the way he has gone?” And his sons see the way that the man of God who came from Judah has gone.
Ithe wao akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Agereire njĩra ĩrĩkũ?” Nao ariũ ake makĩmuonia njĩra ĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai woimĩte Juda aagereire.
13 And he says to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they saddle the donkey for him, and he rides on it,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩĩra ariũ ake atĩrĩ, “Ndandĩkĩrai ndigiri.” Nao marĩkia kũmũtandĩkĩra ndigiri akĩmĩikarĩra
14 and goes after the man of God, and finds him sitting under the oak, and says to him, “Are you the man of God who has come from Judah?” And he says, “I [am].”
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 And he says to him, “Come with me to the house and eat bread.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũnabii ũcio mũkũrũ akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũka tũthiĩ mũciĩ ũkarĩe.”
16 And he says, “I am not able to return with you, and to go in with you, nor do I eat bread or drink water with you 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 [there is] a word to me by the word of YHWH, You do not eat bread nor drink water there [and] you do not return to go in the way in which you came.”
Tondũ nĩnjĩĩrĩtwo nĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkanarĩe irio kana ũnyue maaĩ kũu o na kana ũcookere njĩra ĩrĩa wagereire ũgĩthiĩ.’”
18 And he says to him, “I [am] also a prophet like you, and a messenger spoke to me by the word of YHWH, saying, Bring him back with you to your house, and he eats bread and drinks water.” He has lied to 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 And he turns back with him, and eats bread in his house, and drinks water.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai agĩcooka nake gwake mũciĩ, akĩrĩa na akĩnyua.
20 And it comes to pass—they are sitting at the table—and [there] is a word of YHWH to the prophet who brought him back,
Maikarĩte o metha-inĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩgĩkinyĩra mũnabii ũcio mũkũrũ ũrĩa wacooketie mũnabii wa kuuma Juda na thuutha.
21 and he calls to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Thus said YHWH: Because that you have provoked the mouth of YHWH, and have not kept the command that your God YHWH charged you,
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 and turn back and eat bread and drink water in the place of which He said to you, You do not eat bread nor drink water—your carcass does not come into the burying-place of your 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 it comes to pass, after his eating bread, and after his drinking, that he saddles the donkey for him, for the prophet whom he had brought back,
Rĩrĩa mũndũ ũcio wa Ngai aarĩkirie kũrĩa na kũnyua-rĩ, mũnabii ũrĩa wamũcooketie na thuutha akĩmũtandĩkĩra ndigiri yake.
24 and he goes, and a lion finds him in the way, and puts him to death, and his carcass is cast in the way, and the donkey is standing near it, and the lion is standing near the carcass.
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 behold, men are passing by, and see the carcass cast in the way, and the lion standing near the carcass, and they come and speak [of it] in the city in which the old prophet is dwelling.
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 the prophet who brought him back out of the way hears and says, “It [is] the man of God who provoked the mouth of YHWH, and YHWH gives him to the lion, and it destroys him, and puts him to death, according to the word of YHWH that he spoke to 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 speaks to his sons saying, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they saddle [it].
Mũnabii ũcio mũkũrũ akĩĩra ariũ ake atĩrĩ, “Ndandĩkĩrai ndigiri.” Nao magĩĩka o ũguo.
28 And he goes and finds his carcass cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion are standing near the carcass—the lion has not eaten the carcass nor destroyed the donkey.
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 takes up the carcass of the man of God, and places it on the donkey, and brings it back, and the old prophet comes to the city to mourn and to bury 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 he places his carcass in his own grave, and they mourn for him, “Oh, my brother!”
Nake akĩiga mwĩrĩ ũcio mbĩrĩra-inĩ yake mwene, nao makĩmũcakaĩra makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ũũi mũrũ wa baba-ĩ!”
31 And it comes to pass, after his burying him, that he speaks to his sons, saying, “At my death—you have buried me in the burying-place in which the man of God is buried; place my bones near 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 the word certainly comes to pass that he called by the word of YHWH concerning the altar which [is in] Beth-El, and concerning all the houses of the high places that [are] in cities of Samaria.”
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 After this thing Jeroboam has not turned from his evil way, and turns back, and makes priests of high places from the extremities of the people; he who is desirous—he consecrates his hand, and he is of the priests of the high 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 in this thing is the sin of the house of Jeroboam, even to cut [it] off, and to destroy [it] from off the face of the ground.
Macio nĩmo maarĩ mehia ma nyũmba ya Jeroboamu marĩa maatũmire ĩgwe na ĩniinwo biũ yeherio gũkũ thĩ.
