1 Kva 13
1 Hagi Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a Ra Anumzamofo ke antahino Juda kumara atreno Beteli kumate vuno Jeroboamu'a Kresramana vu itare mnanentake'za krenaku oti'negeno uhanati'ne.
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.
2 Anama unehanatigeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a agipi huvazino amanage huno kezati'ne, kresramna vu itamoke, kresramna vu itamoke! Amanage huno Ra Anumzamo'a hie, Deviti nagapintira mago ne'mofavre fore hanige'za Josaia'e hu'za agia ahegahaze. Hagi ana mofavremo'a kagri agofetura agona agonama havi anumzamofonte'ma mono'ma hunentaza pristi vahe'tmina aheno kresramna vanigeno, kagofetura vahe zaferinaramimo'a tevea regahie.
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]
3 Anage nehuno ana knareke Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a ke'ama eri tamagema hunakura, avame'zana amanage huno hu'ne, ama avame'zamo hugasamino ama kea Ra Anumzamo hu'ne hugahie, ko, kresramna vu itamo'a tagana vaziraminigeno, tanefamo'a herafiramigahie.
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.’”
4 Hagi Kini ne' Jeroboamu'ma Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'ma Betelima me'nea kresramna vu itagu'ma, kasnampa kema higeno, ana nanekema hiankema nentahino, kre sramnavu itare'ma Jeroboamu'ma mani'nereti azana rusuteno amanage hu'ne, amu nera azeriho, higeno ana zamo'a ru fatgo higeno, ete renamagi zankura tusi amuho hu'ne.
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.
5 Ana'ma nehigeno'a Ra Anumzamo'ma ke'ama eri tamagema hu avame'zama Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mofo agipi huvazino hu'nea kante anteno kresramna vu itamo'enena fragu vaziramigeno tanefa'mo'a herafirami'ne.
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.
6 Hagi kini ne'mo'a amanage huno Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mofonkura hu'ne, muse hugantoanki, Rana kagri Anumzamofo nunamuna hunka antahigegeno nazana eriso'e hino, higeno Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a Anumzamofo antahigegeno, ete ana azana eriso'e higeno ko'ma me'neankna hu'ne.
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.
7 Anante kini ne'mo'a amanage huno Anumzamofo eri'za nera asami'ne, enka noni'afi ne'zana eme nenege'na musezana kami'neno.
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]!”
8 Hianagi Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a amanage huno kini nera asami'ne, Maka nonka'afima me'neazana amu'nompinti refko hunka kamigahue hugahananagi, nonka'arega kagranena ovugahue. Hagi ama kumapina ne'zana nege, tina negera osugahue.
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,
9 Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hunagru hunante'ne, Ana kumapima vanunka magore hunka tina nege, bretia nege, nehunka ete vu'nana karanka rukrahe hunka omo huno hunante'ne.
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.”
10 Anage nehuno Beteli kumara atreno ru kante avaririno kuma'arega vu'ne.
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.
11 Hagi ana'ma higeno'a, Beteli kumatera mago ranafa kasnampa ne' nemania ne'mofo mofavre'aramimo'za, maka zama ana knare'ma Beteli kumapima Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'ma eri fore'ma nehuno, kini ne'ma asamia kea eme asami'naze.
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.
12 Hagi ana nanekema nentahino'a nezamafa'a amanage huno zamantahigene, ina kantega vu'ne? Hige'za mofavre naga'amo'za Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'ma Juda kumate'ma eteno'ma nevige'noma ke'naza kana averi hu'naze.
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].
13 Ana'ma hazageno'a amanage huno mofavre naga'agura hu'ne. Ame hutma donki afu'nimofo nofira renteta azeri retro hiho, huno hige'za mofavre naga'amo'za donki afura azeri retro hazageno, ana donki afu agumpi marerino vu'ne.
Then he said to his sons, “Put a saddle on my donkey.” So they did that, and he got on the donkey.
14 Hagi ana kasnampa ne'mo'a Anumzamofo eri'za nera avaririno vuno mago oki zafa agafare umaninegeno, ome negeno amanage huno antahige'ne. Kagra Juda kumateti'ma Anumzamofo eri'za ne'ma e'nana nero? Huno antahigegeno, Izo nagra ana nere huno hu'ne.
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.”
15 Anagema higeno'a, amanage huno ranafa kasnampa ne'mo'a hu'ne, Noni'arega nagrane enka tine bretinena eme no.
The old prophet said to him, “Come home with me and eat some food.”
16 Higeno Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, I'o kagri'enena ete vu'na ama kumapina bretia nege, tina negera osugahue.
He replied, “No, I am not allowed to go with you into your house, or to eat or drink anything with you,
17 Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hunagru hunantene. Ana kumapina bretia nege tina negera nosunka, ete katima esanana, kamati'ma vu'nana kantera omenka ru kantega eno huno hunante'ne.
because Yahweh told me, ‘Do not eat or drink anything here, and do not return home on the road on which you came.’”
18 Anagema higeno'a ranafa kasanampa ne'mo'a amanage huno asami'ne, Kagrama hanaza hu'na nagra'enena kasnampa ne' mani'noankino, Ra Anumzamo'a ankeroma'a huntegeno amanage huno eme nasami'ne, Ete avrenka nonka'arega egeno ne'zane tinena eme neno huno nasmi'ne. Hianagi havige huno revatga hu'ne.
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].
19 Hagi ranafa kasnampa nemo'a revatgama higeno'a, Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a, ana ranafa kasanampa ne'ene ne'zane tinena noma'afi ome ne'ne.
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.
20 Hagi ne'zama nenaza trate'ma umani'nakeno revatgama huno avreno'ma e'nea ranafa kasnampa nera Ra Anumzamo'a asamigeno,
While they were sitting at the table, Yahweh spoke to the old man.
21 Juda kumateti'ma e'nea kasnampa nera ranke huno amanage huno asmi'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamofonkea rutagrenka trake'a avaririo huno'ma hiana ovaririnka,
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.
22 Ra Anumzamo'ma ne'zane tinema ono huno'ma hu'nea kumapina ne'zane tinena ete enka eme ne'nane. E'ina hu'negu fri kerfaka'a kagehe'ima asezamante'naza matipina aseogantegahaze.
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.’”
23 Hagi Anumzamofo kasnampa ne'mo'ma bretine tinema netegeno'a, ana ranafa kasnampa ne'mo'a agra'a donki afu'a nofi renteno retro hunte'ne.
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].
24 Ana higeno Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a ana donki agumpi nevigeno, laionimo'a karanka eme keno ahe fri'ne. Ana ne'ma ahe frigeno'a, avufgamo'a kampi me'negeno, ana laionimo'a anante otino donki afu'ene mani'ne.
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.
25 Hagi karankama enevaza vahe'mo'zama kazana, ana nera laionimo ahetreteno anante otino mani'nege'za kete'za Beteli kumate vu'za mikazama fore'ma hu'nea zamofo nanekea ome zamasami'naze.
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.
26 Hagi ome revatgama huno avreno'ma e'nea ranafa kasnampa ne'mo'ma ana nanekema nentahino'a amanage huno hu'ne, Anumzamofo eri'za ne'ma Ra Anumzamofo ke'ma rutagre'nea nera, Ra Anumzamo'a kema hu'nea kante anteno laioni huntegeno ome ahe'ne.
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!”
27 Nehuno anante mofavre naga'agura donki afura nofira renteta azeri retro hiho, hige'za donki afura nofira rente'za azeri retro hu'naze.
Then he said to his sons, “Put a saddle on my donkey.” So they did that.
28 Ana hazageno, ana donki afu agumpi nevuno ome keana ana ne'mofo avufga kampi me'negeno donkine lionimokea ana ne'mofo avufgama me'nere otinakeno ome ke'ne. Hagi Laionimo'a ana ne'mofo avufga nege, donki afura aheno negera osu'ne.
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.
29 E'ina hu'negeno ana ranafa kasnampa ne'mo'a, Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mofo avufga donki afu agumpi ome erinenteno, asunku huno zavira neteno asente'naku kuma'arega erino vu'ne.
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.
30 Hagi ana ranafa kasnampa ne'mo'a, nafu nagnanimoke huno krafa huno zavira neteno, agra'a matipi eme asente'ne.
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!”
31 Hagi Anumzamofo eri'za ne'ma asenteteno'a amanage huno mofavre naga'a zamasami'ne, henkama nagrama frisugeta, Anumzamofo eri'za ne'ma asente'noa matipi, nagri zaferina agri zaferinama eritruma hanare eritru hunteho.
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.
32 Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'ma asamigeno'ma Beteli kumate'ma me'nea kresramna vu itagu'ma eri haviza hugahue huno nehuno, Sameria kumapima agona agonama havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunte kumatmima me'nea kumatmina eri haviza hugahiema hu'nea ke'mo'a nena avufga'a efore hugahie.
[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.”
33 Hianagi ana zama fore'ma hutegeno'a, Jeroboamu'a kefo avu'ava zama'afintira agu'a rukrahera osu'neanki, havi anumzamofo mono noma agona agonama kinte'naza mono nompina pristi vahetmina, amne vahepinti zamazeri oti vava nehuno, iza'oma pristima mani'nuema hia vahera pristi vahe azeri otitere hu'ne.
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.
34 Hagi e'ina zamo'a ra kumi Jeroboamu nagapina fore higeno, maka Jeroboamu nagara ama mopafintira Ra Anumzamo'a zamahe hana hu vagare'ne.
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.
