< 1 Kings 13 >

1 One day a prophet, obeying what Yahweh commanded him to do, went from Judah [north] to Bethel. He arrived there right at the time that Jeroboam was standing at the altar, ready to burn incense.
Hina Gode da hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, Yuda balofede dunu da Bedele moilaiga asi. Yelouboua: me da oloda midadi, gobele salasu hamomusa: leloba, e doaga: i.
2 Saying what Yahweh told him to say, the prophet shouted, “This is what Yahweh says [about this] altar [APO]: ‘I want you to know that [some day] a descendant [MTY] of King David will be born. His name will be Josiah, and he will come here. He will slaughter at this altar the priests who are burning incense for sacrifices on the hills [in this area], and he will burn the bones of dead people on this altar.’” [APO]
Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: su defele, balofede dunu da oloda amoma diwaneya udidi, “Oloda! Oloda! Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Mano afae da Da: ibidi ea sosogo fi ganodini lalelegemu. Ilia da ema Yousaia dio asulimu. E da di da: iya wadela: i gobele salasu dunu (amo da di da: iya hame ilegei gobele salasu hamosa) amo huluane medole legemu, amola di da: iya dunu ilia gasa gobesimu.’
3 Then the prophet also said, “This is what will prove to you that Yahweh has said this: This altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be scattered.’”
Amola nasubu amo da: iya dialebe, da afagogoi dagoi ba: mu. Amasea, Hina Gode da na lafidili sia: i dagoi, amo dilia da dafawaneyale dawa: mu.”
4 When King Jeroboam heard the prophet say that, he pointed his finger at him and said to his servants, “Seize that man!” But immediately the king’s arm became paralyzed/stiff, with the result that he could not move it.
Hina bagade Yelouboua: me da amo nababeba: le, ema lobo sogole, amane sia: i, “Amo dunu gagulaligima!” Amalalu, hedolodafawane hina bagade ea lobo da gagawamagili, selefale guda: mu gogolei.
5 And the altar immediately split apart, and the ashes spilled out [on the ground], which is what the prophet said that Yahweh [MTY] had predicted would happen.
Amalalu, balofede dunu da Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le sia: defele, oloda da hedolodafawane mugululi sa: i, amola nasubu da osoboga gugudili sa: i dagoi ba: i.
6 Then the king said to the prophet, “Please pray that Yahweh will be merciful to me and heal my arm!” So the prophet prayed, and Yahweh completely healed the king’s arm.
Hina bagade Yelouboua: me da balofede dunuma amane sia: i, “Dia Hina Godema sia: ne gadoma! E da na lobo bu noga: ma: ne adole ba: ma!” Balofede dunu da Hina Godema sia: ne gadobeba: le, hina bagade ea lobo da bu segegili noga: i ba: i.
7 Then the king said to the prophet, “Come home with me and eat some food. And I will also give you a reward [for what you have done]!”
Amalalu, hina bagade da balofede dunuma amane sia: i, “Na diasuga ha: i na misa. Dia hamobeba: le, na da dima bidi imunu.”
8 But the prophet replied, “Even if you would [promise to] give me half of everything that you own [MTY], I will not go with you, and I will not eat or drink anything with you here,
Be balofede dunu da bu adole i, “Di da dia gagui liligi huluane dogoa fifili, la: idi nama iasea, na da ani ha: i manu amola hano hamedafa manu.
9 because Yahweh commanded me not to eat or drink anything here. He also commanded me not to return home on the road on which I came here.”
Bai Hina Gode da nama na da ha: i manu amola hano hamedafa moma: ne sia: i. Amola E da nama, na da na misi logo fisili, logo enoga buhagima: ne sia: i.”
10 So he started to return home, but he did not go on the road on which he came to Bethel. He went on a different road.
Amaiba: le, e da ea misi logo yolesili, logo enoga asi.
11 At that time there was an old man living in Bethel who was a prophet. His sons came and told him what the prophet [from Judah] had done there on that day, and they also told him what the prophet had said to the king.
Amo esohaga, da: i hamoi balofede dunu da Bedele moilaiga esalebe ba: i. Ea manolali da ema misini, Yuda balofede ea hou amola e hina bagade Yeleboua: mema sia: i, amo ema olelei.
12 Their father said, “On which road did he go?” So his sons showed him the road on which the prophet from Judah had gone [when he left Bethel].
Da: i hamoi balofede da ilima amane adole ba: i, “E da habidili asibala: ?” Ilia da ea asi logo ema olelei.
13 Then he said to his sons, “Put a saddle on my donkey.” So they did that, and he got on the donkey.
E da ilima amane sia: i, “Na fisu amo dougi da: iya ligisima.” Ilia amane hamone, e da ea dougi da: iya fila heda: le, Yuda balofede dunu ea asi logoga, ema fa: no bobogei.
14 He went along the road to (find/catch up with) the prophet from Judah. He found him sitting under an oak tree. He said to him, “Are you the prophet who came from Judah?” He replied, “Yes, I am.”
E da asili, Yuda balofede amo ‘ouge’ ifa ea ougihagudu amogai esalebe ba: i. E da ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da Yuda sogega misi balofede dunula: ?” E bu adole i, “Na da wea!”
15 The old prophet said to him, “Come home with me and eat some food.”
Da: i hamoi balofede da amane sia: i, “Na diasuga ha: i na misa.”
16 He replied, “No, I am not allowed to go with you into your house, or to eat or drink anything with you,
Be Yuda balofede dunu da bu adole i, “Na da dia diasuga asili, dia na aowamu da hamedei. Amola na da ani gilisili ha: i amola hano manu da hamedei.
17 because Yahweh told me, ‘Do not eat or drink anything here, and do not return home on the road on which you came.’”
Bai Hina Gode da nama amane hamoma: ne sia: i, ‘Ha: i manu amola hano maedafa moma! Amola dia masunu logo amoga maedafa buhagima.’”
18 Then the old prophet said to him, “I also am a prophet, like you are. Yahweh sent an angel to tell me that I should take you home with me and give you some food and drink.” But the old man was lying [when he said that].
Amalalu, Bedele da: i hamoi balofede dunu da amane sia: i, “Na, amola, da di agoai balofede dunu. Amola Hina Gode da sia: beba: le, a:igele dunu da nama sia: i, ‘Yuda balofede dunu amo dia diasuga oule asili, aowama.” Be da: i hamoi balofede da ogogole sia: i.
19 But because of what the old prophet said, the prophet from Judah returned with him to his home and ate some food and drank some water with him.
Amaiba: le, Yuda ‘balofede’ dunu da da: i hamoi balofede dunu ea diasuga ha: i na asi.
20 While they were sitting at the table, Yahweh spoke to the old man.
Ela da fafaiga ha: i na esaloba, Hina Gode Ea sia: dafa da da: i hamoi balofedema misi.
21 Then he cried out to the prophet from Judah, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You have disobeyed him, and you have not done what he commanded you to do.
E da Yuda balofede dunuma amane wele sia: i, “Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Di da Na hamoma: ne sia: i amo nabawane hame hamoi.
22 Instead, you have come back here and had things to eat and drink in a place where he commanded you not to do that. As a result, you will be killed, and your body will not be buried in the grave where your ancestors are buried.’”
Na da dima ha: i manu amo soge ganodini mae moma: ne sia: i. Be di da sinidigili, amogawi ha: i manu mai dagoi. Amaiba: le, di da medole legei dagoi ba: mu. Amola dia bogoi da: i hodo da dia sosogo fi ilia bogoi uli dogosu sogebi amoga hame uli dogoi ba: mu.’”
23 When they had finished eating, the old man put a saddle on the donkey for the prophet from Judah, [and the prophet from Judah left].
Ela ha: i mai dagoloba, da: i hamoi balofede da fisu amo Yuda balofede ea dougi da: iya ligisili,
24 But as he was going, a lion met him and killed him. The prophet’s corpse was lying on the road, and the donkey was standing beside it, and the lion was also standing beside the corpse.
e da fila heda: le, asi. E da logoga ahoanoba, laione wa: me da ema doagala: le, fane legei. Ea da: i hodo da logoa dialebe ba: i. Amola dougi amola laione da gadenene lelebe ba: i.
25 Some men passed by and were surprised to see the corpse on the road and the lion standing next to the corpse. So they went into Bethel and reported what they had seen.
Dunu oda da logoga baligili ahoanoba, Yuda balofede e bogoi da: i hodo logoga dialebe amola laione wa: me e gadenene lelebe ba: i. Ilia da bu asili, Bedele diasuga doaga: le, ilia ba: i liligi adodoi.
26 When the old man who had brought the prophet from Judah to his home heard about it, he said, “That is the prophet who disobeyed what Yahweh told him to do! That is why Yahweh allowed the lion to attack him and kill him. That is what Yahweh said would happen!”
Da: i hamoi balofede dunu, e da amo hou nababeba: le, e da amane sia: i, “Amo bogoi dunu da balofede amo da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i amo nabawane hame hamoi. Amaiba: le, Hina Gode Ea musa: sia: i defele, laione wa: mega e doagala: le, medole legema: ne asunasi.”
27 Then he said to his sons, “Put a saddle on my donkey.” So they did that.
Amalalu, e da ea manolalima amane sia: i, “Na dougi da: iya fisu figisima.” Ilia amanewane hamoi.
28 Then he rode on the donkey and found the prophet’s corpse on the road, and his donkey and the lion were still standing there alongside the corpse. But the lion had not eaten any of the flesh of the prophet and had not attacked the donkey.
E da dougi da: iya fila heda: le, ahoana, balofede dunu ea bogoi da: i hodo logoga dialebe ba: i. Laione wa: me da gadenene lelebe ba: i. Laione wa: me da ea bogoi da: i hodo hame mai, amoia dougi hame doagala: i.
29 The old man picked up the corpse of the prophet and put it on his donkey and brought it back to Bethel, in order to mourn for him and to bury his corpse.
Da: i hamoi balofede dunu da Yuda balofede ea bogoi da: i hodo gaguia gadole, dougi da: iya ligisili, Bedele moilaiga fofagini dimusa: amola uli dogomusa: bu gaguli misi.
30 He buried the prophet’s corpse in the grave where other people in his family [had been buried]. Then he and his sons mourned for him, saying, “[We are very sorry], my brother!”
E da Yuda balofede ea bogoi da: i hodo amo hina: bogoi uli dogosu sogebiga uli dogoi. Amola e amola egefelali da amane fofagini di, “Naeya! Naeya!” amane didigia: i.
31 After they had buried him, the old man said to his sons, “When I die, bury my corpse in the grave where we buried the prophet from Judah. Lay my corpse next to his corpse.
Uli dogolalu, da: i hamoi balofede da egefelalima amane sia: i, “Na da bogosea, dilia na da: i hodo amo uli dogoi ganodini, amo ea da: i hodo dafulilisima.
32 [And do not forget what he said, because] the things that Yahweh told him to say about the altar in Bethel, and about the shrines on the hills in the towns in Samaria, will surely happen.”
E da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: beba: le, e da Bedele oloda amola Samelia soge moilai nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi, amoma diwaneya udidi. Amola ea sia: i liligi huluane da dafawanedafa doaga: i dagoi ba: mu.”
33 But King Jeroboam still did not turn away from continuing to do evil things. Instead, he appointed more priests [who were not descended from Levi]. Anyone who wanted to be a priest, he appointed to be a priest, in order that he could offer sacrifices on the hills.
Amalalu, hina bagade Yelouboua: me da ea wadela: i hou mae fisili, udigili sosogo fi dunu amoga gobele salasu dunu ili ea oloda gagui amoga hawa: hamoma: ne ilegei. Nowa dunu da gobele salasu hawa: hamomusa: hanai galea, e da amo ilegesu.
34 Because he committed that sin, [a few years later] God got rid of most of Jeroboam’s descendants and did not allow them to become kings of Israel.
Amane wadela: le hamobeba: le, ea sosogo fi ilia Isala: ilima ouligisu hou da gugunufinisi dagoi, amola fa: no osobo bagadega bu hame ba: i.
