Sie Tokosra 13
1 Ke sap lun LEUM GOD, sie mwet palu in acn Judah el som nu Bethel ac sun acn we ke Jeroboam el tu ke loang sac ac akola in kisakin mwe kisa lal.
The Lord ordered a man of God from Judah to go to Bethel. He arrived just as Jeroboam was standing beside the altar about to present a burnt offering.
2 In oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, mwet palu sac el fahkak kas in lain loang sac ac fahk, “O loang, loang, pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk: Sie tulik, su ac fah pangpang Josiah, el ac fah isusla in sou lal David. Mwet tol su kulansap ke nien alu lun mwet pegan ac orek kisa fom, Josiah el ac fah onelosi pac fom, oayapa el ac fah esukak srin mwet misa fom.”
He shouted out the Lord's condemnation of the altar: “Altar, altar, this is what the Lord says. A son will be born to the house of David. His name will be Josiah, and on you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn offerings on you, and human bones will be burned on you.”
3 A mwet palu sac tafwelana in fahk, “Loang se inge ac fah fokelik, ac apat kac ac sohkelik, na kowos fah etu lah LEUM GOD El kaskas ke oalik.”
The same day the man of God gave a sign, saying, “This is the sign to prove that the Lord has spoken. Look! The altar will be split apart, and the ashes on it will spill out.”
4 Ke pacl se Tokosra Jeroboam el lohng ma inge el asroela paol ac srisrngiya mwet paclu sac, ac fahk, “Sruokilya!” In kitin pacl ah na paol tokosra efla, ac el kofla kotani.
When King Jeroboam heard the condemnation the man of God had shouted out against the altar in Bethel, he pointed his hand at him and said, “Arrest him!” But the hand the king had pointed at him had become paralyzed and he couldn't draw it back.
5 Loang sac fokelik, ac apat kac rakelik ac oaclik infohk uh oana ma mwet palu sac palye Inen LEUM GOD.
The altar split apart, and the ashes spilled out from it, fulfilling the sign that the man of God had given from the Lord.
6 Tokosra Jeroboam el fahk nu sin mwet palu sac, “Nunak munas, pre keik nu sin LEUM GOD lom, ac siyuk Elan akkeyala pouk!” Mwet palu sa el pre nu sin LEUM GOD, ac paol tokosra kwela.
Then the king said to the man of God, “Please plead with the Lord your God—pray for me that I may have my hand back!” The man of God pleaded with the Lord, and the king was given back the use of his hand as it was before.
7 Na tokosra el fahk nu sin mwet palu sac, “Fahsru wiyu mongo in lohm sik. Nga ac akfalye nu sum ke ma kom oru inge.”
Then the king said to the man of God, “Come to my home and have a meal so I can give you a present.”
8 Na mwet palu sac topuk, “Kom finne use tafu mwe kasrup lom an, nga ac tiana wi kom som, ku kang ac nim kutena ma yurum.
But the man of God told the king, “Even if you gave me half of everything you own, I still wouldn't go with you. In fact I refuse to eat or drink anything in this place.
9 LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sik ngan tiana kang ku nim kutena ma, oayapa ngan tia folok ke innek soko nga ut kac tuku ah.”
The Lord ordered me not to eat or drink anything, and not to return by the way I came.”
10 Ouinge el som ke soko pacna inkanek, ac tia ke innek soko el tuku kac me.
So he went a different way—he did not return the way he had come to Bethel.
11 In pacl sac, oasr mwet palu matu se muta in acn Bethel. Wen natul eltal tuku nu yorol ac fahk nu sel ma mwet palu se lun Judah el oru in acn Bethel ke len sac, ac ma el tuh fahk nu sel Tokosra Jeroboam.
It so happened that an old prophet lived in Bethel. His sons came and told him everything the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father what the man had said to the king.
12 Ac mwet palu matu sac siyuk seltal, “Inkanek ya el ut we ke el folokla?” Eltal srusrngaung inkanek soko ah.
“Which way did he go?” their father asked them. So his sons showed him the way taken by the man of God from Judah.
13 Na el sap eltal in akoela donkey natul ah, ac eltal orala, na el som.
“Saddle up a donkey for me,” he told his sons. They saddled up a donkey and he got on.
14 El ukwe mwet palu Judah sac, ac konalak ke el muta ye sak oak soko. Ac el siyuk sel, “Ku kom pa mwet palu se lun Judah?” Mwet palu sac topuk, “Aok, nga.”
He rode after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak tree. “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” he asked him. “Yes I am,” the man replied.
15 Mwet sac fahk, “Fahsru wiyu mongo lohm sik ah.”
“Come home with me and have something to eat,” he told him.
16 Ac mwet palu lun Judah el fahk, “Nga koflana wi kom nu in lohm sum, ku eis mwe kulang sum. Ac nga fah tia mongo ku nim kutena ma yurum in acn se inge,
“I can't turn around and go with you, and I won't eat or drink with you in this place,” the man of God replied.
17 mweyen LEUM GOD El sapkin ngan tiana kang ku nim kutena ma, ac nga in tia folok ke inkanek soko nga ut we tuku.”
“The Lord ordered me, saying ‘You must not eat or drink anything there, or return by the way you came.’”
18 Na mwet palu matu se lun Bethel el fahk nu sel, “Nga pac, nga mwet palu se oana kom, ac LEUM GOD El sap sie lipufan in fahk nu sik ngan eis kom in wiyu nu lohm sik ah, ac kite kom ke mwe mongo ac mwe nim.” Tusruktu mwet palu matu sac el kikiap nu sel.
But the old prophet told him, “I am also a prophet, just like you. An angel told me God said, ‘Take him home with you so that he can have something to eat and drink’” But he was lying to him.
19 Ouinge mwet palu lun Judah el wi mwet palu matu sac folokla, ac mongo yorol in lohm sel.
So the man of God went back with him, and ate and drank in his house.
20 Ke eltal muta ke tepu lal, kas lun LEUM GOD tuku nu sin mwet palu matu sac,
As they were sitting at the table, a message from the Lord came to the prophet who had brought him back.
21 ac el liksreni na fahk nu sin mwet palu lun Judah, “LEUM GOD El fahk lah kom seakos ac tia oru ma El sapkin nu sum.
He called out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the Lord says: Because you have disobeyed the word of the Lord and have not followed the orders that the Lord your God gave you,
22 A kom tuh foloko ac mongo acn ma El wuli kom in tiana mongo we. Ke ma inge kom ac anwuki, ac monum ac fah tia pukpuki inkulyuk lun sou lom.”
instead you went back and ate and drank in the place where he told you not to, your body will not be buried in the tomb of your fathers.”
23 Tukun eltal mongo tari, mwet palu matu sac akoela donkey natul ah nu sin mwet palu lun Judah,
After the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the prophet who had brought him back saddled his own donkey for him.
24 na el sroang nu fac ac som. Ac ke el kasrusr inkanek uh, lion soko sonol ac unilya. Na manol oanna inkanek ah, ac donkey soko ac lion soko ah tu na kac.
But as he went on his way a lion came across him on the road and killed him. His body was left lying in the road, with both the donkey and the lion standing beside it.
25 Oasr kutu mwet fahsryak in acn sacn, ac liye mano sac oanna inkanek ah, ac lion soko ah tu siska. Elos alukela ac som na nu Bethel, ac fahkak ma elos liye ah.
Some passers-by saw the body lying in the road with the lion standing beside it, so they went and let people know about it in the town where the old prophet lived.
26 Ke mwet palu matu sac lohng ma fwack inge, el fahk, “Pa ingan mwet palu se ma tia akos ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, na pa LEUM GOD El supwala lion soko in sruokilya ac unilya, in oana ma LEUM GOD El fahk kac.”
When the old prophet who had led the other astray heard what had happened, he said, “It's the man of God who disobeyed the Lord's orders. That's why the Lord put him in the path of the lion, and it has mauled him and killed him, just as the Lord told him would happen.”
27 Na el fahk nu sin wen natul, “Akoela donkey nutik.” Ac eltal akoela,
The prophet told his sons, “Saddle up a donkey for me.” So they saddled a donkey,
28 na el som ac konauk mano sac oan inkanek ah, ac donkey soko ac lion soko ah srakna tu siska. Lion soko ah tiana kangla mano sac, ku anwuk nu sin donkey soko ah.
and he went and found the body. It was still lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body or attacked the donkey.
29 Mwet palu matu sac srukak mano sac nu fin donkey natul, ac folokunla nu Bethel in asor kac, ac pikinya.
The prophet picked up the body of the man of God, placed it on the donkey, and brought it back to his own town to mourn over him and bury him.
30 El pikinya inkulyuk lun sou lal sifacna, na el ac wen natul asor kacl ac fahk, “O, ma lik, ma lik!”
He laid the body in his own tomb, and they mourned over him, crying, “My poor brother!”
31 Tukun pukpuki mwet sac, mwet palu matu sac fahk nu sin wen natul, “Nga fin misa, komtal pikinyuwi na inkulyuk se inge, ac filiyuwi siskal.
After he'd buried him, he told his sons, “When I die, bury me in the grave where the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones.
32 Kas ma el fahk lain loang se in acn Bethel, ac lain nien alu nukewa in siti srisrik in acn Samaria, oana ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, pwayena lah ma inge nukewa ac fah akpwayeyuk.”
For the message from the Lord that he gave in condemnation against the altar in Bethel, and against all the shrines on the high places in the towns of Samaria, will definitely happen.”
33 Tokosra Jeroboam lun Israel el tiana forla liki ouiyen moul koluk lal, a el srakna sulela mwet tol lal sin kutena sou tuh elos in kulansap ke loang ma el musaela. Ac el mosrwela kutena mwet su lungse in mwet tol.
But even after all this, Jeroboam did not change his evil ways. He went on choosing priests from all kinds of people. He appointed anyone who wanted to be a priest of the high places.
34 Ma koluk se lal inge pa kunausla mwet lal, ac ikruiya tokosrai lal.
This was because of this sin that the house of Jeroboam was wiped out, completely destroyed from the face of the earth.
