< 1 Kings 13 >

1 And lo! a man of God cam fro Juda, bi the word of the Lord, in to Bethel, while Jeroboam stood on the auter, `and castide encence.
Awurade hyɛɛ Onyame onipa bi ma ɔkɔɔ Bet-El, na ɔduruu hɔ ɛberɛ a na Yeroboam rekɔ afɔrebukyia no ho akɔbɔ afɔdeɛ.
2 And `the man of God criede ayens the auter, bi the word of the Lord, and seide, Auter! auter! the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! a sone, Josias by name, shal be borun to the hows of Dauid; and he schal offre on thee the preestis of hiye thingis, that brennen now encensis yn thee, and he schal brenne the bonys of men on thee.
Na ɔfiri Awurade ɔhyɛ nsɛm mu teaam guu afɔrebukyia no sɛ, “Ao, afɔrebukyia! Afɔrebukyia! Sɛdeɛ Awurade seɛ nie: ‘Wɔbɛwo ɔbabarima bi a wɔbɛto no edin Yosia ato Dawid fie, na wo so na ɔde asɔfoɔ a wɔfiri asɔreeɛ so ha a wɔhye aduhwam ne nnipa nnompe no bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ!’”
3 And he yaf a signe in that dai, `and seide, This schal be `the signe that the Lord spak, Lo! the auter schal be kit, and the aische which is `there ynne, schal be sched out.
Ɛda no ara, Onyankopɔn onipa no yɛɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ, na ɔkaa sɛ, “Yei ne nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a Awurade ada no adi. Afɔrebukyia no mu bɛpae mmienu, na nsõ a ɛgu soɔ no ahwie agu.”
4 And whanne the kyng hadde herd the word of the man of God, which word he hadde cried ayens the auter in Bethel, the kyng helde forth his hond fro the auter, and seide, Take ye hym. And his hond driede, which he hadde holde forth, and he myyte not drawe it ayen to hym silf.
Ɔhene Yeroboam bo fuu Onyame onipa yi sɛ wakasa atia afɔrebukyia yi. Enti ɔtenee ne nsa wɔ ne so, teaam sɛ, “Monkyere no!” Nanso, ne nsa a ɔtenee wɔ ɔbarima no so no senseneeɛ a wantumi anyɛ ho hwee.
5 Also the auter was kit, and the aische was sched out of the auter, bi the signe which the man of God bifor seide, in the word of the Lord.
Na afɔrebukyia no mu paee mmienu, na nsõ a ɛgu so no hwie guiɛ, sɛdeɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a Onyankopɔn onipa nam Awurade ɔhyɛ nsɛm so daa no adi kyerɛeɛ no.
6 And the kyng seide to the man of God, Biseche thou the face of thi Lord God, and preie thou for me, that myn hond be restorid to me. And the man of God preiede the face of God; and the hond of the king turnede ayen to hym, and it was maad as it was bifore.
Afei, ɔhene no srɛɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no sɛ, “Srɛ Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, ma me na me nsa no nnya ahoɔden.” Enti, Onyankopɔn onipa no srɛɛ Awurade maa no, na ɔhene no nsa nyaa ahoɔden ma ɛyɛɛ sɛdeɛ na ɛteɛ kane no.
7 Sotheli the kyng spak to the man of God, Come thou hoom with me, that thou ete, and Y schal yyue yiftis to thee.
Afei, ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ fie, na kɔdidi, na mɛma wo akyɛdeɛ bi.”
8 And the man of God seide to the kyng, Thouy thou schalt yyue to me the half part of thin hows, Y schal not come with thee, nether Y schal ete breed, nether Y schal drynke watir in this place;
Nanso, Onyankopɔn onipa no buaa no sɛ, “Mpo, sɛ wode wʼagyapadeɛ mu fa bɛkyɛ me koraa a, me ne wo renkɔ, na burodo nso, merenni na manom nsuo wɔ ha.
9 `for so it is comaundid to me bi the word of the Lord, comaundinge, Thou schalt not ete breed, nether thou schalt drynke water, nether thou schalt turne ayen bi the weie bi which thou camest.
Awurade asɛm so na wɔnam hyɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ wodi burodo anaa wonom nsuo wɔ hɔ. Afei, nsane mfa ɛkwan a wofaa so kɔɔ Bet-El no so.’”
10 Therfor he yede bi another weie, and turnede not ayen bi the weie, bi which he cam in to Bethel.
Enti, ɔfiri Bet-El faa ɛkwan foforɔ so, sɛ ɔrekɔ efie.
11 Forsothe sum elde profete dwellide in Bethel, to whom hise sones camen, and telden to hym alle the werkis whiche the man of God hadde do in that dai in Bethel; and thei telden to her fader the wordis whiche he spak to the kyng.
Na ɛbaa sɛ na odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa bi te Bet-El. Ne mmammarima bɛkaa deɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no ayɛ wɔ Bet-El da no nyinaa kyerɛɛ no. Afei, wɔkaa asɛm a waka akyerɛ ɔhene no nyinaa, kyerɛɛ wɔn agya no.
12 And the fadir of hem seide to hem, Bi what weie yede he? Hise sones schewiden to hym the weie, bi which the man of God yede, that cam fro Juda.
Odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa no bisaa wɔn sɛ, “Na ɔfaa he?” Na ne mmammarima no kyerɛɛ no kwan a Onyankopɔn onipa no faa so kɔeɛ.
13 And he seide to hise sones, Sadle ye an asse to me. And whanne thei hadden sadlid,
Ɔka kyerɛɛ ne mmammarima no sɛ, “Monhyehyɛ afunumu no mma me ntɛm.” Na wɔhyehyɛɛ afunumu no maa no no, ɔhuri tenaa ne so
14 he stiede, and yede after the man of God, and foond hym sittyng vndur a terebynte. And he seide to the man of God, Whether thou art the man of God, that camest fro Juda? He answeride, Y am.
tii Onyankopɔn onipa no. Ɔkɔtoo no sɛ ɔte odum bi ase, na odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa no bisaa no sɛ, “Wo ne Onyankopɔn onipa a wofiri Yuda no anaa?” Ɔbuaa no sɛ, “Aane, me a.”
15 And he seide to hym, Come thou with me hoom, that thou ete breed.
Afei, odiyifoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Ma yɛnkɔ efie, na kɔdidi.”
16 And he seide, Y may not turne ayen, nether come with thee, nether Y schal ete breed, nether Y schal drynke water in this place;
Onyankopɔn onipa no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ, “Merentumi nsane mʼakyi. Menni ho ɛkwan sɛ medidi anaa menom nsuo wɔ ha.
17 for the Lord spak to me in the word of the Lord, and seide, Thou schalt not ete breed, and thou schalt not drynke water there, nether thou schalt turne ayen bi the weie bi which thou yedist.
Awurade hyɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ wodi aduane biara anaa wonom nsuo ɛberɛ a wowɔ hɔ, anaa wofa ɛkwan a wofaa so kɔɔ hɔ no so sane wʼakyi.’”
18 Which seide to hym, And Y am a profete lijk thee; and an aungel spak to me bi the word of the Lord, and seide, Lede ayen hym in to thin hows, that he ete breed, and drynke watir. He disseyuede the man of God,
Odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa no buaa sɛ, “Me nso, meyɛ odiyifoɔ sɛ wo ara. Na ɔbɔfoɔ bi kaa Awurade asɛm kyerɛɛ me sɛ, ‘Fa no sane bra wo fie, na ɔmmɛdidi na ɔnnom nsuo.’” Nanso na odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa no redaadaa no.
19 and brouyte him ayen with hym. Therfor he ete breed in his hows, and drank watir.
Enti, Onyankopɔn onipa no ne no sane kɔeɛ, kɔdidi nomee wɔ ne fie.
20 And whanne he sat at the table, the word of the Lord was maad to the prophete that brouyte hym ayen;
Ɛberɛ a wɔte didipono ho redidi no, nkra firi Awurade nkyɛn baa odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa no so.
21 and he criede to the man of God that cam fro Juda, and seide, The Lord seith these thingis, For thou obeidist not to the mouth of the Lord, and keptist not the comaundement which thi Lord God comaundide to thee,
Ɔteaam guu Onyankopɔn onipa a ɔfiri Yuda no so sɛ, “Sei na Awurade ka: Woabu Awurade asɛm so, na woanni ahyɛdeɛ a Awurade, wo Onyankopɔn, hyɛɛ wo no so.
22 and thou turnedist ayen, and etist breed, and drankist watir in the place in which Y comaundide to thee, that thou schuldist not ete breed, nether schuldist drynke watir, thi deed bodi schal not be borun in to the sepulcre of thi fadris.
Wosane baa ha bɛdii aduane, nom nsuo, nanso ɔka kyerɛɛ wo sɛ nni hwee, nnom hwee. Esiane yei enti, wɔrensie wʼamu wɔ wʼagyanom damena mu.”
23 And whanne he hadde ete and drunke, the prophete, whom he hadde brouyt ayen, sadlide his asse.
Na Onyankopɔn onipa no didi nom wieeɛ no, odiyifoɔ no hyehyɛɛ nʼafunumu no maa no,
24 And whanne he hadde go, a lioun foond hym in the weye, and killide hym. And his deed bodi was cast forth in the weie; sotheli the asse stood bisydis hym, and the lioun stood bisidis the deed bodi.
na Onyankopɔn onipa no sii ɛkwan so bio. Na ɔrekɔ no ara, gyata bi ba bɛkumm no. Nʼamu no daa ɛkwan mu a, na afunumu no ne gyata no gyinagyina ho.
25 And lo! men passynge sien the deed bodi cast forth in the weye, and the lyoun stondynge bisidis the deed bodi; and thei camen, and pupplischiden in the citee, in which thilke eeld prophete dwellide.
Nnipa ba bɛtoo so sɛ amu no da ɛkwan mu a gyata no gyina ho. Enti, wɔkɔbɔɔ amaneɛ wɔ Bet-El baabi a odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa no te hɔ.
26 And whanne thilke prophete, that brouyte hym ayen fro the weye, hadde herd this, he seide, It is the man of God, that was vnobedient to the mouth of God; and the Lord bitook hym to the lioun, that brak hym, and killide hym, bi the word of the Lord which he spak to hym.
Ɛberɛ a odiyifoɔ akɔkoraa no tee asɛm no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn onipa no a wanni Awurade ahyɛdeɛ so no. Awurade ama nʼasɛm no aba mu sɛ ɔmaa gyata to hyɛɛ no so, kumm no.”
27 And he seide to hise sones, Sadle ye an asse to me.
Na odiyifoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ ne mmammarima no sɛ, “Monhyehyɛ afunumu no mma me.” Na wɔhyehyɛɛ afunumu no.
28 And whanne thei hadden sadlid, and he hadde go, he foond his deed bodi cast forth in the weie, and the asse and the lioun stondinge bisidis the deed bodi; and the lioun eet not the deed bodi, nether hirtide the asse.
Ɔkɔeɛ kɔhunuu sɛ amu no da ɛkwan mu. Na afunumu no ne gyata no da so gyinagyina ne ho a, gyata no nwee amu no, nto nhyɛɛ afunumu no nso so.
29 Therfor the profete took the deed bodi of the man of God, and puttide it on the asse; and he turnede ayen, and brouyte it in to the cyte of the eeld prophete, that he schulde biweile hym.
Enti, odiyifoɔ no faa Onyankopɔn onipa no amu no de no too nʼafunumu no so, sane de no kɔɔ kurom, kɔsuu no, siee no.
30 And he puttide his deed bodi in his sepulcre, and thei biweiliden him, Alas! alas! my brother!
Ɔde amu no too nʼankasa ne damena mu, firii awerɛhoɔ mu, suu no sɛ, “Ao, me nua!”
31 And whanne thei hadden biweilid hym, he seide to hise sones, Whanne Y schal be deed, birie ye me in the sepulcre, in which the man of God is biried; putte ye my bonys bisidis hise bonys.
Akyire yi, odiyifoɔ no ka kyerɛɛ ne mmammarima no sɛ, “Sɛ mɛwu a, monsie me wɔ damena a wɔasie Onyankopɔn onipa wɔ mu no mu. Momfa me nnompe ngu ne nnompe ho.
32 For sotheli the word schal come, which he bifor seide in the word of the Lord, ayens the auter which is in Bethel, and ayens alle the templis of hiy placis, that ben in the citees of Samarie.
Na asɛm a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnka ntia afɔrebukyia a ɛwɔ Bet-El ne abosomfie no a ɛwowɔ Samaria nkuro so no, ɛbɛba mu.”
33 After these wordis Jeroboam turnede not ayen fro his werste weie, but ayenward of the laste puplis he made preestis of hiye places; who euer wolde, fillide his hond, and he was maad preest of hiy placis.
Nanso, yei akyi koraa no, Yeroboam annane ne ho amfiri nʼakwammɔne no so. Ɔkɔɔ so yii asɔfoɔ firi nnipa no mu. Obiara a ɔpɛ no, ɔtumi yɛɛ ɔsɔfoɔ wɔ abosomfie hɔ.
34 And for this cause the hows of Jeroboam synnede, and it was distried, and doon awey fro the face of erthe.
Yei bɛyɛɛ bɔne kɛseɛ, na ɛnam so sɛee Yeroboam ahemman, ma ne fiefoɔ nyinaa wuwuiɛ.
