1 Kings 13
1 Look, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of YHWH to Beth El: and Jeroboam was standing 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 He cried against the altar by the word of YHWH, and said, "Altar, altar, thus says YHWH: 'Look, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. On you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men's bones on you.'"
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 He gave a sign the same day, saying, "This is the sign which YHWH has spoken: Look, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will 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 It happened, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, "Seize him." His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to himself.
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 split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God 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 The king answered the man of God, "Now plead for the favor of YHWH your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again." The man of God entreated 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 The king said to the man of God, "Come home with me, and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward."
Kabaka n’agamba omusajja wa Katonda nti, “Jjangu eka ewange obeeko ky’olya, n’okukuwa nkuweeyo ekirabo.”
8 The man of God said to the king, "Even if you gave me half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither would 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 commanded me by the word of YHWH, saying, 'You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that you came.'"
Kubanga nkuutiddwa ekigambo kya Mukama nti, ‘Tolya mugaati newaakubadde okunywa amazzi wadde okuddira mu kkubo ly’ojjiddemu.’”
10 So he went another way, and did not return 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 lived an old prophet in Bethel; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. And they also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
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 Their father said to them, "Which way did he go?" Now his sons showed him the way the man of God went, who 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 He said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.
Awo n’agamba batabani be nti, “Munteekereteekere endogoyi.” Bwe baamala okumutegekera endogoyi, n’agyebagala,
14 He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. He said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" 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 to him, "Come home with me, and eat bread."
Awo nnabbi n’amugamba nti, “Tuddeyo eka olye ku mmere.”
16 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.
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, 'You shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that you came.'"
Ndagiddwa ekigambo kya Mukama nti, ‘Toteekwa kulyayo ku mmere newaakubadde okunywayo amazzi, wadde okuddirayo mu kkubo lye wajjiddemu.’”
18 He said to him, "I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the word of YHWH, saying, 'Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.'" He lied to 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 ate bread in his house, and drank water.
Awo omusajja wa Katonda n’addayo naye mu nnyumba ye n’alya era n’anywa.
20 It happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of YHWH came to the prophet who brought him back;
Bwe baali batudde nga balya, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira nnabbi omukadde eyali amukomezzaawo.
21 and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, "Thus says YHWH, 'Because you have been disobedient to the mouth of YHWH, and have not kept the commandment which YHWH your God commanded you,
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 came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, "Eat no bread, and drink no water"; your body shall not come to the tomb of your 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 It happened, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey 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 When he had gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him. His body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.
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 Look, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
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 When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, "It is the man of God who was disobedient to the mouth of YHWH. Therefore YHWH has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to the word of YHWH, which he spoke to 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 He spoke to his sons, saying, "Saddle the donkey for me." They saddled it.
Awo nnabbi n’agamba batabani be nti, “Muntegekere endogoyi.” Ne bagimutegekera.
28 He went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body, nor mauled the donkey.
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 The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. And he came to the city of the old prophet 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 He laid his body 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 It happened, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, "When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb in which the man of God 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 proclaimed 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, will surely happen."
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 did not return from his evil way, but again made priests of the high places from among all the people. He consecrated anyone who wanted to be a priest at 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 This thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the surface of the earth.
Kino kye kyali ekibi ky’ennyumba ya Yerobowaamu ekyagireetera okugwa, okugimalawo n’okugizikiriza okuva ku nsi.
