1 And there! - a man of God he came from Judah by [the] word of Yahweh to Beth-el and Jeroboam [was] standing at the altar to make smoke.
Le Yehowa ƒe nya nu la, Mawu ƒe ame aɖe tso Yuda va Betel esi Yeroboam nɔ tsitre ɖe vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ be yeado dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ.
2 And he called out on the altar by [the] word of Yahweh and he said O altar altar thus he says Yahweh here! a son [is] about to be born to [the] house of David [will be] Josiah name his and he will sacrifice on you [the] priests of the high places who make smoke on you and bones of humankind people will burn on you.

3 And he gave on the day that a sign saying this [is] the sign which he has spoken Yahweh here! the altar [is] about to be torn apart and it will be poured out the fatty ash which [is] on it.
Gbe ma gbe ke la, Mawu ƒe ame la na dzesi be, “Esiae nye dzesi si Yehowa gblɔ ɖi. Vɔsamlekpui la ama ɖe eve eye dzofi si le edzi la akaka ɖe anyigba.”
4 And it was when heard the king [the] word of [the] man of God which he called out on the altar at Beth-el and he stretched out Jeroboam hand his from at the altar saying - seize him and it dried up hand his which he had stretched out on him and not he was able to bring back it to himself.
Esi Fia Yeroboam se nya si Mawu ƒe ame la gblɔ ɖi ɖe Betel vɔsamlekpui la ŋuti kple ɣli la, edo eƒe asi ɖa tso vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ eye wògblɔ be, “Milée!” Gake asi si wòdo ɖe amea gbɔ la dze ti ɖe eŋu, ale be magate ŋu ahee ava eɖokui ŋu o.
5 And the altar it was torn apart and it was poured out the fatty ash from the altar according to the sign which he had given [the] man of God by [the] word of Yahweh.

Fia la gblɔ na Mawu ƒe ame la be, “Kplɔm ɖo míayi nye aƒe me ne nàdi nane aɖu eye mana nunana wò.”
8 And he said [the] man of God to the king if you will give to me half of household your not I will go with you and not I will eat bread and not I will drink water in the place this.
Ke Mawu ƒe ame la ɖo eŋu na Fia la be, “Ne àtsɔ wò kesinɔnuwo ƒe afã nam gɔ̃ hã la, nyemayi kpli wò loo alo aɖu abolo alo ano tsi le afi ma o

Eva eme be nyagblɔɖila tsitsi aɖe nɔ Betel. Viawo yi egbɔ eye wogblɔ nu si Mawu ƒe ame si tso Yuda la wɔ kple nya si wògblɔ na fia la nɛ.

15 And he said to him come with me the house towards and eat bread.
Nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la gblɔ nɛ be, “Ekema va míyi nye aƒe me nàɖu nu.”
16 And he said not I am able to turn back with you and to go with you and not I will eat bread and not I will drink with you water in the place this.

20 And it was they [were] sitting to the table. And it came [the] word of Yahweh to the prophet who he had brought back him.
Esi wonɔ nu ɖum la, Yehowa ƒo nu na nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la.
21 And he called out to [the] man of God who he had come from Judah saying thus he says Yahweh because for you have been disobedient to [the] mouth of Yahweh and not you have kept the command which he commanded you Yahweh God your.
Edo ɣli gblɔ na Mawu ƒe ame, si tso Yuda la be, “Nya si Yehowa gblɔe nye, ‘Ètsi tsitre ɖe nya si Yehowa gblɔ la ŋu eye mèwɔ se si Yehowa, wò Mawu la de na wò la dzi o.
