I Regum 13
1 et ecce vir Dei venit de Iuda in sermone Domini in Bethel Hieroboam stante super altare et tus iaciente
And behold, there came a man of God out of Juda by the word of the Lord to Baethel, and Jeroboam stood at the altar to sacrifice.
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 tura succendunt et ossa hominum incendet super te
And he cried against the altar by the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord, Behold, a son is [to be] born to the house of David, Josias by name; and he shall offer upon thee the priests of the high places, [even] of them that sacrifice upon thee, and [he] shall burn men's bones upon thee.
3 deditque in die illa signum dicens hoc erit signum quod locutus est Dominus ecce altare scinditur et effunditur cinis qui in eo est
And in that day one shall give a sign, saying, This [is] the word which the Lord has spoken, saying, Behold, the altar is rent, and the fatness 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 adprehendite eum et exaruit manus eius quam extenderat contra eum nec valuit retrahere eam ad se
And it came to pass when king Jeroboam heard the words of the man of God who called on the altar that was in Baethel, that the king stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying, Take hold of him. And, behold, his hand, which he stretched forth against him, withered, and he could not draw it back to himself.
5 altare quoque scissum est et effusus cinis de altari iuxta signum quod praedixerat vir Dei in sermone Domini
And the altar was rent, and the fatness was poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God gave by the word of the Lord.
6 et ait rex ad virum Dei deprecare faciem Domini Dei tui et ora pro me ut restituatur manus mea mihi oravit vir Dei faciem Domini et reversa est manus regis ad eum et facta est sicut prius fuerat
And king Jeroboam said to the man of God, Intreat the Lord thy God, and let my hand be restored to me. And the man of God intreated the Lord, and he restored the king's hand to him, and it became as 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, Enter with me into the house, and dine, and I will give thee a gift.
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 shouldest give me the half of thine house, I would not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread, neither will I drink water in this place; for thus the Lord charged me by [his] word, saying,
9 sic enim mandatum est mihi in sermone Domini praecipientis non comedes panem neque bibes aquam nec reverteris per viam qua venisti
Eat no bread, and drink no water, and return not by the way by which thou camest.
10 abiit ergo per aliam viam et non est reversus per iter quo venerat in Bethel
So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way by which he came to Baethel.
11 prophetes autem quidam senex habitabat in Bethel ad quem venit filius suus et narravit ei omnia opera quae fecerat vir Dei illa die in Bethel et verba quae locutus fuerat ad regem et narraverunt patri suo
And there dwelt an old prophet in Baethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God did on that day in Baethel, and the words which he spoke to the king: and they turned the face of 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 spoke to them, saying, Which way went he? and his sons shew him the way by which the man of God who came out of Juda went up.
13 et ait filiis suis sternite mihi asinum qui cum stravissent ascendit
And he said to his sons, Saddle me the ass: and they saddled him the ass, and he mounted 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 went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said to him, Art thou the man of God that came out of Juda? And he said to him, I [am].
15 dixit ad eum veni mecum domum ut comedas panem
And he said to him, Come with me, and eat bread.
16 qui ait non possum reverti neque venire tecum nec comedam panem nec bibam aquam in loco isto
And he said, I shall not by any means be able to return with thee, neither will I eat bread, neither will I drink water in this place.
17 quia locutus est Dominus ad me in sermone Domini dicens non comedes panem et non bibes ibi aquam nec reverteris per viam qua ieris
For thus the Lord commanded me by word, saying, Eat not bread there, and drink not water, and return not thither by the way by which thou camest.
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 et comedat panem et bibat aquam fefellit eum
And he said to him, I also am a prophet as thou [art]; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back to thee into thy house, and let him eat bread and drink water: but he lied to him.
19 et reduxit secum comedit ergo panem in domo eius et bibit aquam
And he brought him back, and he ate bread and drank water in his house.
20 cumque sederent ad mensam factus est sermo Domini ad prophetam qui reduxerat eum
And it came to pass while they were sitting at the table, that the word of the Lord came to the prophet that brought him back;
21 et exclamavit ad virum Dei qui venerat de Iuda dicens haec dicit Dominus quia inoboediens fuisti ori Domini et non custodisti mandatum quod praecepit tibi Dominus Deus tuus
and he spoke to the man of God that came out of Juda, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast resisted the word of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord 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 hast returned, and eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he spoke to thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat bread, and shalt not drink water; [therefore] thy body shall in nowise enter into the sepulchre of thy fathers.
23 cumque comedisset et bibisset stravit asinum prophetae quem reduxerat
And it came to pass after he had eaten bread and drunk water, that he saddled the ass for him, and he turned and departed.
24 qui cum abisset 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 a lion found him in the way, and slew him; and his body was cast out in the way, and the ass was standing by it, and the lion [also] was standing 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 senex ille habitabat
And, behold, men [were] passing by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion was standing near the carcase: and they went in and spoke [of 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 inoboediens fuit ori Domini et tradidit eum Dominus leoni et confregit eum et occidit iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus est ei
And [the prophet] that turned him back out of the way heard, and said, This is the man of God who rebelled against the word of the Lord.
27 dixitque ad filios suos sternite mihi asinum qui cum stravissent
[And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass, and they saddled it. ]
28 et ille abisset 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 the body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion were standing by the body: and the lion had not devoured the body of the man of God, and had not torn the ass.
29 tulit ergo prophetes cadaver viri Dei et posuit illud super asinum et reversus intulit in civitatem prophetae senis ut plangerent eum
And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on his ass; and the prophet brought him back to his city, to bury him in his own tomb,
30 et posuit cadaver eius in sepulchro suo et planxerunt eum heu frater
and they bewailed him, [saying], Alas, 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 lamented him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, Whenever I die, bury me in this tomb wherein the man of God is buried; lay me by his bones, that my bones may be preserved with his bones.
32 profecto enim veniet sermo quem praedixit in sermone Domini contra altare quod est in Bethel et contra omnia fana excelsorum quae sunt in urbibus Samariae
For the word will surely come to pass which he spoke by the word of the Lord against the altar in Baethel, and against the high houses in Samaria.
33 post verba haec non est reversus Hieroboam de via sua pessima sed e contrario fecit de novissimis populi sacerdotes excelsorum quicumque volebat implebat manum suam et fiebat sacerdos excelsorum
And after this Jeroboam turned not from his sin, but he turned and made of part of the people priests of the [high places]: whoever would, he consecrated him, and he became a priest for the high places.
34 et propter hanc causam peccavit domus Hieroboam et eversa est et deleta de superficie terrae
And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to its destruction and its removal from the face of the earth.
