I Regum 13
1 Et ecce vir Dei venit de Iuda in sermone Domini in Bethel, Ieroboam stante super altare, et thus iaciente.
And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of Jehovah to Bethel. And Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.
2 Et exclamavit contra altare in sermone Domini, et ait: Altare, altare, haec dicit Dominus: Ecce filius nascetur domui David, Iosias nomine, et immolabit super te sacerdotes excelsorum, qui nunc in te thura succendunt, et ossa hominum super te incendet.
And he cried against the altar by the word of Jehovah, and said, O altar, altar, thus says Jehovah: Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. And upon thee shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones they shall burn upon thee.
3 Deditque in illa die signum, dicens: Hoc erit signum quod locutus est Dominus: Ecce altare scindetur, et effundetur cinis qui in eo est.
And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which Jehovah has spoken: Behold, the altar shall be torn, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
4 Cumque audisset rex sermonem hominis Dei, quem inclamaverat contra altare in Bethel, extendit manum suam de altari, dicens: Apprehendite eum. Et exaruit manus eius, quam extenderat contra eum: nec valuit retrahere eam ad se.
And it came to pass, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam 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 back again to him.
5 Altare quoque scissum est, et effusus est cinis de altari, iuxta signum quod praedixerat vir Dei in sermone Domini.
The altar also was torn, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of Jehovah.
6 Et ait rex ad virum Dei: Deprecare faciem Domini Dei tui, et ora pro me, ut restituatur manus mea mihi. Oravitque vir Dei faciem Domini, et reversa est manus regis ad eum, et facta est sicut prius fuerat.
And the king answered and said to the man of God, Entreat now the favor of Jehovah thy God, and pray for me that my hand may be restored to me again. And the man of God entreated Jehovah, and the king's hand was restored to him again, and became as it was before.
7 Locutus est autem rex ad virum Dei: Veni mecum domum ut prandeas, et dabo tibi munera.
And the king said to the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
8 Responditque vir Dei ad regem: Si dederis mihi mediam partem domus tuae, non veniam tecum, nec comedam panem, neque bibam aquam in loco isto:
And the man of God said to the king, If thou will give me half thy house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place;
9 sic enim mandatum est mihi in sermone Domini praecipientis: Non comedes panem, neque bibes aquam, nec reverteris per viam qua venisti.
for so it was charged me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou shall eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that thou came.
10 Abiit ergo per aliam viam, et non est reversus per iter, quo venerat in Bethel.
So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.
11 Prophetes autem quidam senex habitabat in Bethel, ad quem venerunt filii sui, et narraverunt ei omnia opera, quae fecerat vir Dei illa die in Bethel: et verba quae locutus fuerat ad regem, narraverunt patri suo.
Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel. And one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. The words which he had spoken to the king, they also told them to their father.
12 Et dixit eis pater eorum: Per quam viam abiit? Ostenderunt ei filii sui viam, per quam abierat vir Dei, qui venerat de Iuda.
And their father said to them, What way did he go? Now his sons had seen what way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
13 Et ait filiis suis: Sternite mihi asinum. Qui cum stravissent, ascendit,
And he said to his sons, Saddle the donkey for me. So they saddled him the donkey, and he rode on it.
14 et abiit post virum Dei, et invenit eum sedentem subtus terebinthum: et ait illi: Tune es vir Dei qui venisti de Iuda? Respondit ille: Ego sum.
And he went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. And he said to him, Are thou the man of God who came from Judah? And he said, I am.
15 Dixitque ad eum: Veni mecum domum, ut comedas panem.
Then he said to him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
16 Qui ait: Non possum reverti, neque venire tecum, nec comedam panem, neque bibam aquam in loco isto:
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;
17 quia locutus est Dominus ad me in sermone Domini, dicens: Non comedes panem, et non bibes aquam ibi, nec reverteris per viam, qua ieris.
for it was said to me by the word of Jehovah, Thou shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou came.
18 Qui ait illi: Et ego propheta sum similis tui: et angelus locutus est mihi in sermone Domini, dicens: Reduc eum tecum in domum tuam, ut comedat panem, et bibat aquam. Fefellit eum,
And he said to him, I also am a prophet as thou are. And an agent spoke to me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Bring him back with thee into thy house that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied to him.
19 et reduxit secum: comedit ergo panem in domo eius, et bibit aquam.
So he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.
20 Cumque sederent ad mensam, factus est sermo Domini ad prophetam, qui reduxerat eum.
And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of Jehovah came to the prophet who brought him back.
21 Et exclamavit ad virum Dei, qui venerat de Iuda, dicens: Haec dicit Dominus: Quia non obediens fuisti ori Domini, et non custodisti mandatum, quod praecepit tibi Dominus Deus tuus,
And he cried out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, Thus says Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou have been disobedient to the mouth of Jehovah, and have not kept the commandment which Jehovah thy God commanded thee,
22 et reversus es, et comedisti panem, et bibisti aquam in loco in quo praecepit tibi ne comederes panem, neque biberes aquam, non inferetur cadaver tuum in sepulchrum patrum tuorum.
but came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water, thy body shall not come to the sepulcher of thy fathers.
23 Cumque comedisset et bibisset, stravit asinum suum propheta, quem reduxerat.
And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for him, namely, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
24 Qui cum abiisset, invenit eum leo in via, et occidit, et erat cadaver eius proiectum in itinere: asinus autem stabat iuxta illum, et leo stabat iuxta cadaver.
And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him. And his body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.
25 Et ecce, viri transeuntes viderunt cadaver proiectum in via, et leonem stantem iuxta cadaver. Et venerunt et divulgaverunt in civitate, in qua prophetes ille senex habitabat.
And, behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body. And they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
26 Quod cum audisset propheta ille, qui reduxerat eum de via, ait: Vir Dei est, qui inobediens fuit ori Domini, et tradidit eum Dominus leoni, et confregit eum, et occidit iuxta verbum Domini, quod locutus est ei.
And when the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, It is the man of God who was disobedient to the mouth of Jehovah. Therefore Jehovah has delivered him to the lion, which has torn him, and slain him, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke to him.
27 Dixitque ad filios suos: Sternite mihi asinum. Qui cum stravissent,
And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle the donkey for me. And they saddled it.
28 et ille abiisset, invenit cadaver eius proiectum in via, et asinum et leonem stantes iuxta cadaver: non comedit leo de cadavere, nec laesit asinum.
And he went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body, nor torn the donkey.
29 Tulit ergo prophetes cadaver viri Dei, et posuit illud super asinum, et reversus intulit in civitatem prophetae senis ut plangeret eum.
And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the donkey, and brought it back. And he came to the city of the old prophet, to mourn, and to bury him.
30 Et posuit cadaver eius in sepulchro suo: et planxerunt eum: Heu heu mi frater.
And he laid his body in his own grave. And they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
31 Cumque planxissent eum, dixit ad filios suos: Cum mortuus fuero, sepelite me in sepulchro, in quo vir Dei sepultus est: iuxta ossa eius ponite ossa mea.
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.
32 Profecto enim veniet sermo, quem praedixit in sermone Domini contra altare quod est in Bethel, et contra omnia phana excelsorum, quae sunt in urbibus Samariae.
For the saying which he cried by the word of Jehovah against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
33 Post verba haec non est reversus Ieroboam de via sua pessima, sed econtrario fecit de novissimis populi sacerdotes excelsorum: quicumque volebat, implebat manum suam, et fiebat sacerdos excelsorum.
After this thing Jeroboam did not return from his evil way, but again made from among all the people priests of the high places. Whoever would, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places.
34 Et propter hanc causam peccavit domus Ieroboam, et eversa est, et deleta de superficie terrae.
And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
