1 Mpanjaka 13
1 Ary, indro, nisy lehilahin’ Andriamanitra avy tany Joda tonga tany Betela noho ny tenin’ i Jehovah, raha mbola nitsangana teo anilan’ ny alitara handoro ditin-kazo manitra Jeroboama.
And behold, by the word of the Lord, a man of God went from Judah to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing over the altar, and burning incense.
2 Ary ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra niantso ny alitara araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Ry alitara ô, ry alitara ô! izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, hisy zaza hateraka ho an’ ny taranak’ i Davida, Josia no ho anarany; ary hovonoiny ka hateriny eo amboninao ny mpisorona amin’ ny fitoerana avo izay mandoro ditin-kazo manitra eo amboninao, ary taolan’ olona no hodorana eo amboninao.
And by the word of the Lord, he cried out against the altar. And he said: “O altar, O altar! Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, a son will be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. And upon you, he will immolate the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon you. And upon you, he will burn up the bones of men.’”
3 Ary naneho fahagagana androtrizay izy nanao hoe: Izao no fahagagana izay nolazain’ i Jehovah: Indro, hitresaka ny alitara, ka hikorotsaka ny lavenona izay eo amboniny.
And he gave a sign on the same day, saying: “This will be the sign that the Lord has spoken. Behold, the altar shall be torn apart, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.”
4 Ary nony ren’ i Jeroboama mpanjaka ny tenin’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra izay niantso ny alitara tao Betela, dia naninjitra ny tànany niala tamin’ ny alitara izy ka nanao hoe: Hazony ilehio. Dia maty iny tànany nahinjiny nanondro azy iny ka tsy azony noketrahina intsony.
And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar at Bethel, he extended his hand from the altar, saying, “Apprehend him!” But his hand, which he had extended against him, withered. And he was unable to draw it back to himself.
5 Dia nitresaka koa ny alitara, ka nikorotsaka ny lavenona teo amboniny, araka ny fahagagana Izay nasehon’ ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra noho ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
Also, the altar was torn apart, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, in accord with the sign that the man of God had predicted by the word of the Lord.
6 Ary ny mpanjaka namaly ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Mba ifony amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao aho, ka mivavaha ho ahy, mba ho azoko ketrahina indray ny tanako. Ary ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra dia nifona tamin’ i Jehovah, ka dia azon’ ny mpanjaka noketrahina indray ny tànany ka tonga tahaka ny teo.
And the king said to the man of God, “Entreat the face of the Lord your God, and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored to me.” And the man of God prayed before the face of the Lord, and the hand of the king was restored to him, and it became as it had been before.
7 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra: Andeha hiaraka amiko ho any an-trano ianao mba hanao ody am-bavafo kely, sady homeko zavatra ianao.
Then the king said to the man of God: “Come home with me, so that you may dine. And I will give you gifts.”
8 Fa hoy ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Na dia homenao ahy aza ny antsasaky ny ao an-tranonao, tsy hiditra any an-tranonao, na hihinan-kanina, na hisotro rano atỳ aho;
And the man of God responded to the king: “Even if you will give me one half part of your house, I will not go with you, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place.
9 fa izao no tenin’ i Jehovah nandrara ahy: Aza mihinan-kanina, na misotro rano, na miverina amin’ izay lalana efa nalehanao.
For so it was commanded to me by the word of the Lord, ordering: ‘You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water, nor shall you return by the way that you came.’”
10 Dia nandeha tamin’ ny lalana hafa izy, fa tsy niverina tamin’ ilay nalehany ho any Betela.
Then he departed by another way, and he did not return along the way that he had traveled to Bethel.
11 Fa nisy mpaminany antitra anankiray tao Betela; ary tonga ny zanany ka nilaza taminy izay rehetra nataon’ ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra androtr’ iny tao Betela; ary nolazain’ ireo tamin-drainy koa ny teny izay nolazain-dralehilahy tamin’ ny mpanjaka.
Now a certain elderly prophet was living in Bethel. His sons went to him, and they described to him all the works which the man of God had accomplished on that day in Bethel. And they described to their father the words that he had spoken to the king.
12 Ary hoy rainy taminy: Aiza no lalana nalehany? Fa ny zanany efa nahita ny lalana nalehan’ ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra izay tonga avy tany Joda.
And their father said to them, “By which way did he depart?” His sons showed him the way by which the man of God, who had come from Judah, had departed.
13 Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny zanany: Asio lasely ny boriky hitaingenako. Dia nasiany lasely ny boriky hitaingenany, ka dia nitaingenany.
And he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it, he climbed on,
14 Ary dia nanaraka ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra izy ka nahita azy nipetraka teo ambanin’ ny hazo terebinta; ka hoy izy taminy: Hianao moa ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra avy tany Joda? Ary hoy izy: Eny, izaho no izy.
and he went away after the man of God. And he found him sitting under a terebinth tree. And he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he responded, “I am.”
15 Dia hoy izy taminy: Andeha hiaraka amiko ho any an-tranoko mba hihinan-kanina.
And he said to him, “Come home with me, so that you may eat bread.”
16 Fa hoy kosa izy: Tsy mahazo miverina hiaraka aminao aho na hiditra any an-tranonao, ary tsy hihinan-kanina na hisotro rano aminao atỳ aho,
But he said: “I am not able to turn back, nor to go with you. Neither will I eat bread, or drink water in this place.
17 satria tonga tamiko ny tenin’ i Jehovah hoe: Aza mihinan-kanina, na misotro rano any, ary aza miverina amin’ ny lalana efa nalehanao.
For the Lord has spoken to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, “You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water in that place, nor shall you return by the way that you arrived.”
18 Fa hoy kosa izy taminy: Izaho koa mba mpaminany tahaka anao ihany; ary nisy anjely nilaza tamiko araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe: Ento miverina hiaraka aminao ho any an-tranonao izy hihinan-kanina sy hisotro rano. Kanjo laingany izany.
And he said to him: “I, too, am a prophet like you. And an Angel spoke to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, ‘Lead him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread, and drink water.’” And so he deceived him.
19 Dia niverina niaraka taminy izy ka nihinan-kanina sy nisotro rano tao an-tranony.
And he led him back with him. Then he ate bread and drank water in his house.
20 Ary raha mbola nipetraka teo amin’ ny latabatra izy roa lahy, dia tonga tamin’ ilay mpaminany nitondra azy niverina ny tenin’ i Jehovah;
And while they were sitting at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had led him back.
21 ary izy niteny mafy tamin’ ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra avy tany Joda hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Satria nandà ny tenin’ i Jehovah ianao ka tsy nitandrina ny didy izay nandidian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao,
And he cried out to the man of God who had arrived from Judah, saying: “Thus says the Lord: Because you were not obedient to the mouth of the Lord, and you did not keep the commandment that the Lord your God instructed to you,
22 fa niverina nihinan-kanina sy nisotro rano tany amin’ ny tany izay nandraran’ i Jehovah anao hoe: Aza mihinan-kanina na misotro rano, dia tsy ho tonga any am-pasan-drazanao ny fatinao.
and you turned back, and ate bread, and drank water in the place where he commanded you that you should not eat bread, nor drink water: your dead body shall not be carried back to the sepulcher of your fathers.”
23 Ary rehefa avy nihinana sy nisotro izy, dia nasiany lasely ny boriky hitaingenan’ ilay mpaminany naveriny.
And when he had eaten and had drunk, he saddled his donkey for the prophet whom he had led back.
24 Ary nony nandeha izy, dia nisy liona nifanena taminy teny an-dalana ka nahafaty azy; ary ny fatiny dia niampatra teo an-dalana, ary ny boriky nijanona teo anilany, ary ny liona koa nijanona teo anilan’ ny faty.
And when he had departed, a lion found him along the way, and it killed him, and his dead body was left upon the road. Now the donkey was standing beside him. And the lion was standing beside the dead body.
25 Ary, indreo nisy olona nandalo ka nahita ny faty niampatra teo an-dalana sy ny liona nijanona teo anilan’ ny faty, dia lasa nandeha ireo ka nilaza izany tany an-tanàna izay nitoeran’ ilay mpaminany antitra.
And behold, men who were passing by saw the dead body lying in the road, with the lion standing beside the body. And they went and made it widely known in the city where that elderly prophet was living.
26 Ary nony nandre izany ilay mpaminany izay namerina azy tany an-dalana, dia hoy izy: Ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra nandà ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay; fa natolotr’ i Jehovah ny liona izy ka noviravirainy sy novonoiny araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah, izay efa nolazainy taminy.
And when that prophet, who had led him back from the way, had heard it, he said: “It is the man of God, who was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord. And the Lord has delivered him to the lion. And it has torn him apart and killed him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him.”
27 Ary izy niteny tamin’ ny zananilahy hoe: Asio lasely ny boriky hitaingenako. Dia nasiany lasely izy.
And he said to his sons, “Saddle a donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it,
28 Ary nony nandeha izy, dia nahita ny fatin-dralehilahy niampatra teo an-dalana, ary ny boriky sy ny liona samy nijanona teo anilan’ ny faty; nefa ny liona tsy nihinana ny faty na namiravira ny boriky.
and he had departed, he found the dead body lying on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside the dead body. The lion did not eat from the dead body, nor did it harm the donkey.
29 Ary nobetain’ ilay mpaminany ny fatin’ ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ka nasampiny tamin’ ny boriky, dia nentiny niverina; ary tonga tao an-tanàna ilay mpaminany antitra mba hisaona sy handevina azy.
Then the prophet took the dead body of the man of God, and he placed it upon the donkey, and returning, he brought it into the city of the elderly prophet, so that he might mourn for him.
30 Ary ny fatin-dralehilahy naleviny tao am-pasany, dia nitomanian’ ny olona hoe: Indrisy, ry rahalahiko!
And he placed his dead body in his own sepulcher. And they mourned for him, saying: “Alas! Alas! My brother!”
31 Ary rehefa voaleviny ralehilahy, dia hoy izy tamin’ ny zanany: Rehefa maty aho, dia mba aleveno ao amin’ ny fasana izay ilevenan’ ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, ka ataovy eo anilan’ ny taolany ny taolako;
And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: “When I will have died, bury me in the sepulcher in which the man of God was buried. Place my bones beside his bones.
32 fa tsy maintsy ho tanteraka ilay teny nantsoiny noho ny tenin’ i Jehovah nilaza ny loza ho tonga amin’ ny alitara ao Betela sy amin’ ny trano rehetra eny amin’ ny fitoerana avo izay any an-tanànan’ i Samaria.
For certainly, the word will arrive, which he predicted by the word of the Lord, against the altar, which is in Bethel, and against all the shrines of the high places, which are in the cities of Samaria.”
33 Rehefa afaka izany, Jeroboama dia tsy mbola niala tamin’ ny lalan-dratsiny ihany, fa mbola naka tamin’ ny ankabiazam-bahoaka ho mpisorona amin’ ny fitoerana avo; koa na iza na iza tia izany dia natokany, mba ho tonga mpisorona amin’ ny fitoerana avo.
After these words, Jeroboam did not turn back from his very evil way. Instead, to the contrary, he made priests for the high places out of the least of the people. Whosoever was willing, he filled his hand, and he became a priest of the high places.
34 Ary dia tonga fahotan’ ny taranak’ i Jeroboama izany ka namongorana sy nandringanana azy tsy ho eo ambonin’ ny tany.
And for this reason, the house of Jeroboam sinned, and was uprooted, and was wiped from the face of the earth.
