1 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.
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.
2 Edo ɣli ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu le Yehowa ƒe nya nu be, “Oo, vɔsamlekpui, vɔsamlekpui, ale Yehowa gblɔe nye si, ‘Woadzi viŋutsuvi aɖe si woayɔ be Yosia la na David ƒe aƒe. Dziwòe nunɔla siwo saa vɔ le nuxeƒewo eye wole vɔ sam fifia le afi sia la asa vɔ ɖo eye woatɔ dzo ameƒuwo hã ɖe dziwò.’”
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.
3 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.”
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.
4 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.
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.
5 Hekpe ɖe esia ŋuti la, vɔsamlekpui la ma ɖe eve siãa eye afi si nɔ edzi la dudu ɖe anyigba to dzesi si Mawu ƒe ame la na to Yehowa ƒe nya dzi.
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.
6 Tete fia la gblɔ na Mawu ƒe ame la be, “Ɖe kuku ɖe tanye le Yehowa, wò Mawu la gbɔ eye nàdo gbe ɖa ɖe tanye be nye asi naɖɔ ɖo.” Ale Mawu ƒe ame la ɖe kuku na Yehowa ɖe eta eye fia la ƒe asi ɖɔ ɖo, ganɔ abe tsã ene.
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.
7 Fia la gblɔ na Mawu ƒe ame la be, “Kplɔm ɖo míayi nye aƒe me ne nàdi nane aɖu eye mana nunana wò.”
Sotheli the kyng spak to the man of God, Come thou hoom with me, that thou ete, and Y schal yyue yiftis to thee.
8 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
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;
9 elabena Yehowa ƒe nya de se nam be, ‘Mègaɖu abolo alo ano tsi alo atrɔ agbɔ ato mɔ si dzi nèto yi la dzi o.’”
`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.
10 Ale wòto mɔ bubu dzo eye megato mɔ si wòto yi Betel la o.
Therfor he yede bi another weie, and turnede not ayen bi the weie, bi which he cam in to Bethel.
11 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.
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.
12 Nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la bia be, “Mɔ ka wòto dzo?” Viawo fia mɔ lae.
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.
13 Egblɔ na viawo be, “Netsɔ! Mibla akpa na nye tedzi nam.” Esi wobla akpa na tedzia la,
And he seide to hise sones, Sadle ye an asse to me. And whanne thei hadden sadlid,
14 eti Mawu ƒe ame la yome eye wòtui wònɔ anyi ɖe logoti aɖe te nɔ dzudzɔm. Nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la biae be, “Wòe nye Mawu ƒe ame si tso Yuda vaa?” Eɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, nyee.”
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.
15 Nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la gblɔ nɛ be, “Ekema va míyi nye aƒe me nàɖu nu.”
And he seide to hym, Come thou with me hoom, that thou ete breed.
16 Mawu ƒe ame la gblɔ be, “Nyemate ŋu atrɔ ayi kpli wò o eye nyemate ŋu aɖu abolo alo ano tsi kpli wò le afi sia o.
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;
17 Yehowa ƒe nya gblɔ nam be, ‘Mèkpɔ mɔ aɖu abolo alo ano tsi le afi ma alo àtrɔ agbɔ to mɔ si nèto yi la o.’”
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.
18 Ke nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la gblɔ be “Nyagblɔɖilae nye hã menye abe wò ke ene. Mawudɔla aɖe gblɔ nya aɖe nam tso Yehowa gbɔ. Ele be makplɔ wò ayi nye aƒe me eye mana nuɖuɖu kple tsi wò.” Ke ɖeko nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la blee.
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,
19 Ale wòyi Nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la ƒe aƒe me, ɖu nu eye wòno tsi.
and brouyte him ayen with hym. Therfor he ete breed in his hows, and drank watir.
20 Esi wonɔ nu ɖum la, Yehowa ƒo nu na nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la.
And whanne he sat at the table, the word of the Lord was maad to the prophete that brouyte hym ayen;
21 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.
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,
22 Ètrɔ gbɔ, ɖu abolo eye nèno tsi le afi si Yehowa de se na wò be mègaɖu nu, nàno tsi le o eya ta womaɖi wò kukua ɖe fofowòwo ƒe yɔdo me o.’”
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.
23 Esi Mawu ƒe ame la ɖu nu, no nu vɔ la, nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la, ame si na wòtrɔ gbɔ la, bla akpa na eƒe tedzi nɛ.
And whanne he hadde ete and drunke, the prophete, whom he hadde brouyt ayen, sadlide his asse.
24 Esi Mawu ƒe ame la dze mɔ yina la, dzata aɖe do goe hewui. Eƒe kukua mlɔ mɔa dzi, tedzi la kple dzata la nɔ tsitre ɖe egbɔ.
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.
25 Emetsola aɖewo kpɔ Mawu ƒe ame la ƒe kukua le mɔa dzi kple dzata si nɔ tsitre ɖe egbɔ eye woyi ɖagblɔ nya la le du si me nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la nɔ.
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.
26 Esi nyagblɔɖila tsitsi la se nya si dzɔ la, edo ɣli be, “Mawu ƒe ame si mewɔ Yehowa ƒe se dzi o lae. Yehowa wɔ nya si wògblɔ la dzi eye wòna dzata la wui.”
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.
27 Ena viawo bla akpa na eƒe tedzi.
And he seide to hise sones, Sadle ye an asse to me.
28 Ekpɔ Mawu ƒe ame la ƒe kukua le mɔa dzi eye dzata la kple tedzi la nɔ tsitre ɖe egbɔ. Dzata la meɖu ame kuku la o eye melé tedzi la hã o.
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.
29 Ale nyagblɔɖila la tsɔ ame kuku la ɖe tedzi dzi va dua me be yeafae eye yeaɖii.
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.
30 Eɖii ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe yɔdo me eye wòfae vevie be, “Ao, nɔvinye!”
And he puttide his deed bodi in his sepulcre, and thei biweiliden him, Alas! alas! my brother!
31 Egblɔ na viawo emegbe be, “Ne meku la, miɖim ɖe yɔdo si me woɖi Mawu ƒe ame la ɖo. Mitsɔ nye ƒuwo mlɔ eƒe ƒuwo xa,
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.
32 elabena Yehowa gblɔ nɛ be wòaƒo nu atsi tsitre ɖe vɔsamlekpui si le Betel la ŋu eye fiƒode si wòda ɖe nuxeƒe siwo le Samaria dzi la aɖi wo ŋu.”
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.
33 Togbɔ be Mawu ƒe ame la xlɔ̃ nu Yeroboam hã la, Yeroboam meɖe asi le eƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo ŋu o, ke boŋ egatsɔ ame geɖe siwo metso Levi ƒe ƒome la me o la ɖo nunɔlawoe be woasa vɔ na legbawo le nuxeƒe siwo le toawo dzi. Ame sia ame si lɔ̃ ko la, ate ŋu azu nunɔla.
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.
34 Esia nye nu vɔ̃ vɔ̃ɖi aɖe, ena Yeroboam ƒe fiaɖuƒe la gbã eye wòhe ku vɛ na eƒe ƒometɔwo katã.
And for this cause the hows of Jeroboam synnede, and it was distried, and doon awey fro the face of erthe.
