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.
Behold, a man of God came out of Judah by Yahweh’s word to Bethel; and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn 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.
He cried against the altar by Yahweh’s word, and said, “Altar! Altar! Yahweh says: ‘Behold, a son will be born to David’s house, Josiah by name. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men’s bones on you.’”
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.
He gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which Yahweh has spoken: Behold, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will 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.
When the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!” His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again 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.
The altar was also split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by Yahweh’s word.
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.
The king answered the man of God, “Now intercede for the favor of Yahweh your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again.” The man of God interceded with Yahweh, and the king’s hand was restored to him again, and became as it was 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.
The king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”
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;
The man of God said to the king, “Even if you gave me half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither would I 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 was it commanded me by Yahweh’s word, saying, ‘You shall eat no bread, drink no water, and don’t return by the way that you came.’”
10 Dia nandeha tamin’ ny lalana hafa izy, fa tsy niverina tamin’ ilay nalehany ho any Betela.
So he went another way, and didn’t return by the way that he came 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 an old prophet lived 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. They also told their father the words which 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.
Their father said to them, “Which way did he go?” Now his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
13 Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny zanany: Asio lasely ny boriky hitaingenako. Dia nasiany lasely ny boriky hitaingenany, ka dia nitaingenany.
He said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.
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.
He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. He said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” He said, “I am.”
15 Dia hoy izy taminy: Andeha hiaraka amiko ho any an-tranoko mba hihinan-kanina.
Then he said to him, “Come home with me and 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,
He said, “I may not return with you, nor go in with you. I will not eat bread or drink water with you 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 it was said to me by Yahweh’s word, ‘You shall eat no bread or drink water there, and don’t turn again to go by the way that you came.’”
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.
He said to him, “I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by Yahweh’s word, saying, ‘Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’” He lied to him.
19 Dia niverina niaraka taminy izy ka nihinan-kanina sy nisotro rano tao an-tranony.
So he went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
20 Ary raha mbola nipetraka teo amin’ ny latabatra izy roa lahy, dia tonga tamin’ ilay mpaminany nitondra azy niverina ny tenin’ i Jehovah;
As they sat at the table, Yahweh’s word came to the prophet who brought 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 came from Judah, saying, “Yahweh says, ‘Because you have been disobedient to Yahweh’s word, and have not kept the commandment which Yahweh your God commanded 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.
but came back, and have eaten bread and drank water in the place of which he said to you, “Eat no bread, and drink no water,” your body will not come to the tomb of your fathers.’”
23 Ary rehefa avy nihinana sy nisotro izy, dia nasiany lasely ny boriky hitaingenan’ ilay mpaminany naveriny.
After he had eaten bread and after he drank, he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought 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.
When he had gone, a lion met him by the way and killed him. His body was thrown on the path, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the 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.
Behold, men passed by and saw the body thrown on the path, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
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.
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 Yahweh’s word. Therefore Yahweh has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to Yahweh’s word which he spoke to him.”
27 Ary izy niteny tamin’ ny zananilahy hoe: Asio lasely ny boriky hitaingenako. Dia nasiany lasely izy.
He said to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they 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.
He went and found his body thrown on the path, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body nor mauled 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.
The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. He came to the city of the old prophet to mourn, and to bury him.
30 Ary ny fatin-dralehilahy naleviny tao am-pasany, dia nitomanian’ ny olona hoe: Indrisy, ry rahalahiko!
He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, “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;
After he had buried him, he spoke to his sons, saying, “When I am dead, bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried. Lay 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 the saying which he cried by Yahweh’s word against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely happen.”
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 this thing, Jeroboam didn’t turn from his evil way, but again made priests of the high places from among all the people. Whoever wanted to, he consecrated him, that there might be priests 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.
This thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off and to destroy it from off the surface of the earth.
