1 Kings 13
1 And behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD to Beth-el: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
Nokuda kweshoko raJehovha munhu waMwari akabva kuJudha akauya kuBheteri, Jerobhoamu paakanga akamira pedyo nearitari ava kupirisa zvinonhuhwira.
2 And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.
Akadanidzira kuaritari akati, “Iwe aritari, aritari! Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Mwanakomana anonzi Josia achaberekwa muimba yaDhavhidhi. Vaprista vamatunhu akakwirira vari kupisira zvinonhuhwira pano zvino, achavabayira pamusoro pako, uye mapfupa avanhu achapiswa pamusoro pako.’”
3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This [is] the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that [are] upon it shall be poured out.
Musi mumwe chete iwoyo munhu waMwari akapa chiratidzo akati, “Ichi ndicho chiratidzo chataurwa naJehovha: Aritari ichatsemuka uye madota ari pamusoro payo acharasirwa pasi.”
4 And it came to pass when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, who had cried against the altar in Beth-el, 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 draw it to him again.
Zvino Mambo Jerobhoamu paakanzwa zvakanga zvadanidzirwa nomunhu waMwari kuaritari paBheteri, akatambanudza ruoko rwake ruchibva kuaritari akati, “Mubatei!” Asi ruoko rwaakatambanudzira kumurume uyu rwakaoma, zvokuti akatadza kurudzosa zvakare.
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.
Aritariwo yakatsemuka uye madota ayo akarasikira pasi zvichienderana nechiratidzo chakanga chapiwa nomunhu waMwari nokuda kweshoko raJehovha.
6 And the king answered and said to the man of God, Entreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored to him again, and became as [it was] before.
Ipapo mambo akati kumunhu waMwari, “Ndinamatirewo kuna Jehovha Mwari wako uchindinamatira kuti ruoko rwangu ruporeswe.” Naizvozvo munhu waMwari akamunamatira kuna Jehovha ruoko rwamambo rukaporeswa rukaita sezvarwakanga rwakaita pakutanga.
7 And the king said to the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
Mambo akati kumunhu waMwari, “Handei kumba kwangu undowana zvaungadya, uye ndichakupa chipo.”
8 And the man of God said to the king, If thou wilt give me half thy house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
Asi munhu waMwari akapindura mambo akati, “Kunyange maindipa hafu yezvose zvamunazvo, handaimboenda nemi, uye handaimbodya chingwa kana kunwa mvura kuno.
9 For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.
Nokuti ndakarayirwa neshoko raJehovha kuti, ‘Haufaniri kudya chingwa kana kunwa mvura kana kudzoka nenzira yawabva nayo.’”
10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el.
Saka akaenda neimwe nzira, haana kudzokera nenzira yaakanga auya nayo kuBheteri.
11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken to the king, them they told also to their father.
Zvino paiva nomumwe muprofita akanga ava harahwa aigara muBheteri, vana vake vakauya vakamuudza zvose zvakanga zvaitwa nomunhu waMwari musi iwoyo muBheteri. Vakaudzawo baba vavo zvaakanga ataura kuna mambo.
12 And their father said to them, What way went he? for his sons had seen what way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
Baba vavo vakavabvunza kuti, “Aenda nenzira ipiko?” Zvino vana vake vakamuratidza nzira yakanga yaendwa nayo nomunhu waMwari aibva kuJudha.
13 And he said to his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode upon it.
Saka akati kuvana vake, “Ndisungirirei chigaro pambongoro.” Zvino vakati vamusungirira chigaro pambongoro, akaitasva.
14 And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said to him, [Art] thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I [am].
Akatevera munhu waMwari. Akamuwana agere pasi pomuti womuouki akamubvunza akati, “Ndiwe here munhu waMwari akabva kuJudha?” Akapindura akati, “Ndini.”
15 Then he said to him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
Ipapo muprofita akati kwaari, “Handei kumba kwangu undodya.”
16 And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
Munhu waMwari akati, “Handigoni kudzoka nemi, zvakare handigoni kudya chingwa kana kunwa mvura nemi panzvimbo ino.
17 For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
Ndakaudzwa neshoko raJehovha kuti, ‘Haufaniri kudya chingwa kana kunwa mvura ikoko kana kudzoka nenzira yaunenge wauya nayo.’”
18 He said to him, I [am] a prophet also as thou [art]; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water. [But] he lied to him.
Muprofita akanga ava harahwa akapindura akati, “Neniwo ndiri muprofita sezvawakaita. Zvino mutumwa ati kwandiri neshoko raJehovha, ‘Dzoka naye kumba kwako kuitira kuti adye chingwa uye anwe mvura.’” Asi akanga achimunyepera.
19 So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.
Saka munhu waMwari akadzokera naye akandodya uye akanwa mumba make.
20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet that brought him back:
Zvavakanga vachakagara patafura, shoko raJehovha rakauya kumuprofita akanga ava harahwa, uyo akanga amudzosa.
21 And he cried to the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,
Akadanidzira kumunhu waMwari akanga abva kuJudha akati, “Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Hauna kuteerera shoko raJehovha uye hauna kuchengeta murayiro wawakapiwa naJehovha Mwari wako.
22 But hast returned, and hast eaten bread and drank water in the place, of which [the LORD] said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcass shall not come to the sepulcher of thy fathers.
Wadzoka ukadya chingwa uye ukanwa mvura munzvimbo yaakakuudza kuti usadya kana kunwa. Naizvozvo mutumbi wako hausi kuzovigwa muguva ramadzibaba ako.’”
23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drank, that he saddled for him the ass, [to wit], for the prophet whom he had brought back.
Munhu waMwari paakapedza kudya nokunwa, muprofita akanga amudzosa akamusungirira chigaro pambongoro.
24 And when he had 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.
Akati ava munzira, shumba yakasangana naye panzira, ikamuuraya, mutumbi wake ukakandwa munzira, mbongoro neshumba zvikamira pauri.
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.
Vamwe vanhu vaipfuura nepo vakaona mutumbi uyu wakakandwa panzira, shumba yakamira parutivi pomutumbi, vakaenda vakandozvitaura muguta maigara muprofita uya akanga ava harahwa.
26 And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard [of it], he said, It [is] the man of God, who was disobedient to the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him to the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke to him.
Muprofita akanga amudzosa parwendo rwake paakazvinzwa, akati, “Ndiye munhu waMwari asina kuteerera shoko raJehovha. Jehovha amupa kushumba, iyo yamubvambura nokumuuraya, sokumuyambira kwakanga kwaita shoko raJehovha.”
27 And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled [him].
Muprofita akati kuvanakomana vake, “Ndisungirirei chigaro pambongoro,” ivo vakaita saizvozvo.
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.
Ipapo akaenda akandoona mutumbi wakakandwa panzira, mbongoro neshumba zvakamira parutivi pawo. Shumba yakanga isina kudya mutumbi kana kubvambura mbongoro.
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.
Saka muprofita akasimudza mutumbi womunhu waMwari, akauisa pamusoro pembongoro akadzoka nawo kuguta rake kuti andomuchema uye amuvige.
30 And he laid his carcass in his own grave; and they mourned over him, [saying], Alas, my brother!
Akaisa mutumbi wake muguva rake, vakamuchema vakati, “Yowe-e, hama yangu!”
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 sepulcher in which the man of God [is] buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
Mushure mokumuviga, akati kuvanakomana vake, “Kana ndafa, mundivige muguva mataviga munhu waMwari; muise mapfupa angu parutivi peake.
32 For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the high places which [are] in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
Nokuti zvaakataura neshoko raJehovha pamusoro pearitari iri muBheteri napamusoro pedzimba dzose dziri panzvimbo dzakakwirira mumaguta eSamaria zvichaitika saizvozvo.”
33 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whoever would, he consecrated him, and he became [one] of the priests of the high places.
Kunyange shure kwaizvozvi, Jerobhoamu haana kupinduka pamaitiro ake akaipa, asi akasarudzazve vaprista venzvimbo dzakakwirira kubva kuvanhu vakangosiyana-siyana. Munhu wose wose aida kuva muprista aigadzwa kuti ashande panzvimbo dzakakwirira.
34 And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut [it off], and to destroy [it] from the face of the earth.
Ichi ndicho chivi cheimba yaJerobhoamu chakaita kuti iwe uye iparare pamusoro penyika.
