< 1 Kingi 13 >

1 Na ka tae mai tetahi tangata a te Atua i Hura ki Peteere, he mea ki na Ihowa: a i te tu a Ieropoama i te taha o te aata, e tahu whakakakara ana.
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 Na karangatia ana e ia ta Ihowa kupu ki te aata; i mea ia, E te aata na, e te aata na, ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei, Nana, tera e whanau tetahi tamaiti o te whare o Rawiri, ko Hohia tona ingoa, a ka tapaea e ia ki runga ki a koe nga tohunga o nga wahi tiketike e tahu whakakakara nei ki runga ki a koe; a ka tahuna he wheua tangata ki runga ki a koe.
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 I hoatu ano e ia he tohu i taua ra, i mea, Ko te tohu tenei i korerotia e Ihowa, Nana, ka koara te aata, a ka maringi nga pungarehu o runga.
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 A, no te rongonga o te kingi i te kupu a te tangata a te Atua i karangatia nei e ia ki te aata i Peteere, ka totoro te ringa o Ieropoama i te aata ka mea ia, Hopukia ia. Na memenge ake tona ringa i totoro nei ki a ia, kihai hoki i taea te whakaho ki mai ki a ia.
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 Na kua koara te aata; maringi ake nga pungarehu i runga i te aata, i rite tonu ki te tohu i homai e te tangata a te Atua, ki ta Ihowa i korero ai.
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 Na ka oho te kingi, ka mea ki te tangata a te Atua, Tena ra, karanga atu ki te aroaro o Ihowa, o tou Atua, ka inoi moku, kia whakahokia mai toku ringa ki ahau. Na ka karanga te tangata a te Atua ki te aroaro o Ihowa, a ka whakahokia te ringa o te kingi ki a ia, ka pera me to mua.
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 Na ka mea te kingi ki te tangata a te Atua, Haere mai taua ki te whare ki tetahi oranga mou, kia hoatu hoki e ahau tetahi mea ki a koe.
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 Na ka mea te tangata a te Atua ki te kingi, Ahakoa i homai e koe ko te hawhe o tou whare, e kore ahau e haere taua, e kore ano e kai taro, e inu wai ki tenei wahi.
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 Ko te ako hoki tenei ki ahau, ko ta Ihowa hoki i korero ai; i mea ai, Kei kai taro, kei inu wai; kaua ano e hoki mai na te ara e haere atu ai koe.
Eat no bread, and drink no water, and return not by the way by which thou camest.
10 Na haere ana ia he ara ke, kihai i hoki na te ara i haere mai nei ia ki Peteere.
So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way by which he came to Baethel.
11 Na i Peteere tetahi poropiti e noho ana, he koroheke; a, ka haere mai tetahi o ana tama, ka korerotia ki a ia nga mea katoa i mea ai te tangata a te Atua i taua ra ki Peteere; i korerotia ano e ratou ki to ratou papa nga kupu i korero ai ia ki t e kingi.
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 Na ka mea to ratou papa ki a ratou, Tena koa te ara i haere ai ia? I kite hoki ana tama i te ara i haere atu ai te tangata a te Atua i haere mai nei i Hura.
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 Na ka mea ia ki ana tama, Whakanohoia taku kaihe. Na whakanohoia ana tana kaihe e ratou, a eke ana ia ki runga.
And he said to his sons, Saddle me the ass: and they saddled him the ass, and he mounted it,
14 Na whaia ana e ia te tangata a te Atua, mau rawa atu e noho ana i raro i tetahi oki; a ka mea ki a ia, Ko koe ianei te tangata a te Atua i haere mai nei i Hura? Ano ra ko tera, Ae, ko ahau.
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 Katahi ka mea ia ki a ia, Haere mai taua ki te whare ki te kai taro mau.
And he said to him, Come with me, and eat bread.
16 Ano ra ko ia, E kore e ahei kia hoki taua, kia haere atua; e kore ano taua e kai taro, e inu wai ranei ki tenei wahi.
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 Kua korerotia mai hoki ta Ihowa kupu ki ahau, Kei kai taro, kei inu wai ki reira, kei anga, kei haere mai na te ara ka haere atu nei koe.
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 Na ka mea tera ki a ia, He poropiti ano ahau, he pena me koe; kua korerotia mai ano ki ahau te kupu a Ihowa e tetahi anahera: i ki mai ia, Whakahokia ia ki a koe, ki tou whare ki te kai taro mana, ki te inu wai. He teka ia nana ki a ia.
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 Heoi hoki ana ia i a ia, a kai taro ana i roto i tona whare, inu wai ana.
And he brought him back, and he ate bread and drank water in his house.
20 Na, i a raua e noho ana ki te tepu, ko te putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowa ki te poropiti nana nei ia i whakahoki:
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 A ka karanga ia ki te tangata a te Atua i haere mai nei i Hura, ka mea, Ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei, Na, kua tutu nei koe ki te mangai o Ihowa, a kahore i mau i a koe te ako i ako ai a Ihowa, tou Atua ki a koe,
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 Heoi hoki mai ana koe, kai taro ana, inu wai ana ki te wahi i korero ai ia ki a koe, Kei kai taro, kei inu wai; e kore e tae tou tinana ki te urupa o ou matua.
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 A ka mutu tana kai taro, ka mutu tana inu, na ka whakanohoia e ia te kaihe mona, ara mo te poropiti i whakahokia mai nei e ia.
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 Na, i tona haerenga, ka tutaki tetahi raiona ki a ia, ka whakamate i a ia: a ko tona tinana i akiritia ki te ara, me te kaihe ki tona taha tu ai; ko te raiona ano hoki i tu i te taha o te tinana.
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 Na, ka haere mai nga tangata, ka kite i te tinana i akiritia ra ki te ara, me te raiona e tu ana i te taha o te tinana: ka haere, ka korero i taua mea i te pa i noho ai te poropiti koroheke.
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 A, no te rongonga o taua poropiti, nana nei ia i whakahoki mai i te ara, ka mea ia, Ko te tangata tena a te Atua kihai nei i whakarongo ki te mangai o Ihowa, a hoatu ana ia e Ihowa ki te raiona, a haea iho e ia, whakamatea iho; ko ta Ihowa kupu hoki tena i korero ai ki a ia.
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 Na ka korero ia ki ana tama, ka mea, Whakanohoia taku kaihe, a whakanohoia ana e ratou.
[And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass, and they saddled it. ]
28 Na haere ana ia, a rokohanga atu ko te tinana, he mea akiri ki te ara, me te kaihe raua ko te raiona e tu ana i te taha o te tinana; kihai te tinana i kainga e te raiona, kihai ano te kaihe i haea.
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 Na hapainga ana te tinana o te tangata a te Atua e te poropiti, a whakatakotoria ana ki runga ki te kaihe, whakahokia ana; haere ana ki te pa o te poropiti koroheke ki te tangi, ki te tanu i a ia.
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 Na whakatakotoria ana e ia tona tinana ki roto ki tona ake urupa; a ko ta ratou tangi mona, Aue, e toku teina.
and they bewailed him, [saying], Alas, brother.
31 A, ka mutu tana tanu i a ia, ka korero ia ki ana tama, ka mea, Kia mate ahau, tanumia ahau ki roto ki te urupa i tanumia ai te tangata a te Atua; hei te taha o ona wheua whakatakoto ai i oku wheua.
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 No te mea tera e tino rite ta Ihowa korero i karangatia e ia mo tenei aata i Peteere, mo nga whare katoa hoki o nga wahi tiketike i nga pa o Hamaria.
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 I muri i tenei kihai a Ieropoama i tahuri i tona ara kino; engari i tahuri ano ki te mea tohunga no roto noa iho i te iwi katoa mo nga wahi tiketike: ahakoa ko wai i hiahia, kua whakatohungatia e ia, kia whai tohunga ai mo nga wahi tiketike.
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 Na meinga ana tenei mea hei hara mo te whare o Ieropoama, hei mea e huna ai, e whakamotitia rawatia ai i te mata o te whenua.
And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to its destruction and its removal from the face of the earth.
