1 Mootota 13
1 Utuma Yerobiʼaam aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf iddoo aarsaa bira dhaabachaa jiruu namni Waaqaa tokko ajaja Waaqayyootiin Yihuudaadhaa baʼee Beetʼeel dhufe.
And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
2 Innis ajaja Waaqayyootiin iddoo aarsaa sanaan mormuudhaan iyyee akkana jedhe; “Yaa iddoo aarsaa, yaa iddoo aarsaa! Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Kunoo ilmi Yosiyaas jedhamu tokko mana Daawit keessaa ni dhalata. Innis luboota iddoo sagadaa kan gaarran irraa warra amma asitti aarsaa dhiʼeessaa jiran kanneen aarsaa godhee sirratti ni dhiʼeessa; lafeen namaas sirratti ni gubama.’”
And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall be burnt upon thee.
3 Namni Waaqaa sunis gaafasuma akkana jedhee mallattoo kenne; “Mallattoon Waaqayyo dubbate kanaa dha; kunoo iddoon aarsaa gargar baqaqa; daaraan isa irra jirus gad jiga.”
And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This [is] the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that [are] upon it shall be poured out.
4 Yerobiʼaam mootichi yommuu waan namni Waaqaa sun iyyee iddoo aarsaa kan Beetʼeel sanaan mormuudhaan dubbate dhagaʼetti iddoo aarsaa biraa namichatti harka qabee, “Isa qabaa!” jedhe. Harki inni namichatti qabe sun garuu gogee hafe; innis harka isaa deebifachuu hin dandeenye.
And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Beth-el, that he 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 pull it in again to him.
5 Iddoon aarsaa sunis akkuma mallattoo namni Waaqaa sun dubbii Waaqayyootiin kenne sanaatti gargari baqaqee daaraan isa irra tures lafatti gad jige.
The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
6 Mootichi nama Waaqaa sanaan, “Maaloo akka harki koo deebiʼee naa fayyuuf Waaqayyo Waaqa kee jabeessii naa kadhadhu.” Kanaafuu namni Waaqaa sun Waaqayyoon jabeessee kadhateef; harki mootichaas fayyee akkuma duraatti deebiʼeef.
And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored him again, and became as [it was] before.
7 Mootichi nama Waaqaa sanaan, “Kottu na wajjin mana kootti galiitii waa nyaadhu; anis kennaa siifin kennaa” jedhe.
And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
8 Namni Waaqaa sun garuu akkana jedhee mootichaaf deebii kenne; “Yoo ati walakkaa qabeenya keetii illee naa kennite ani si wajjin hin deemu yookaan asitti buddeena hin nyaadhu yookaan bishaan hin dhugu.
And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
9 Ani, ‘Buddeena hin nyaatin yookaan bishaan hin dhugin yookaan karaa dhufte kanaan hin deebiʼin’ jedhamee dubbii Waaqayyootiin ajajameeraatii.”
For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.
10 Kanaafuu inni karaa biraa qabatee deeme malee karaa gara Beetʼeel dhufe sanaan hin deebine.
So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el.
11 Jaarsa raajii tokkotu Beetʼeel keessa jiraachaa ture; ilmaan isaas gara isaa dhufanii waan namni Waaqaa sun guyyaa sana achitti hojjete hunda isatti himan. Isaan waan inni mootichaan jedhes abbaa isaaniitti himan.
Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
12 Abbaan isaaniis, “Inni karaa kamiin deeme?” jedhee isaan gaafate. Ilmaan isaa immoo karaa namni Waaqaa kan Yihuudaadhaa dhufe sun qabatee deeme isatti argisiisan.
And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.
13 Kana irratti inni ilmaan isaatiin, “Harree irra kooraa naaf kaaʼaa” jedhe. Isaanis harree irra kooraa keenyaaniif inni harree sana yaabbatee
And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,
14 gulufee nama Waaqaa sana duukaa buʼe. Utuu inni muka qilxuu tokko jala taaʼuus argee, “Namni Waaqaa kan Yihuudaadhaa dhufe sun siʼii?” jedhee isa gaafate. Namichis, “Eeyyee ana” jedhee deebise.
And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, [Art] thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I [am].
15 Raajiin sunis, “Kottuu na wajjin mana kootti galiitii waa nyaadhu” jedheen.
Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
16 Namni Waaqaa sun garuu akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Ani deebiʼee si wajjin deemuu yookaan asitti si wajjin buddeena nyaachuu yookaan bishaan dhuguu hin dandaʼu.
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 Ani, ‘Ati achitti buddeena hin nyaatin yookaan bishaan hin dhugin yookaan karaa dhufte sanaan hin deebiʼin’ jedhamee dubbii Waaqayyootiin ajajameeraatii.”
For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
18 Jaarsi raajiin sunis akkana jedhee deebii kenneef; “Ani iyyuu akkuma kee raajii dha. Ergamaan Waaqayyoo tokkos dubbii Waaqayyootiin akkana naan jedhe; ‘Akka inni buddeena nyaatee bishaan dhuguuf deebisii gara mana keetii isa fidi.’” Jaarsi sun garuu isa sobe.
He said unto him, I [am] a prophet also as thou [art; ] and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. [But] he lied unto him.
19 Kanaafuu namni Waaqaa sun isa wajjin deebiʼee mana isaatti nyaatee dhuge.
So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
20 Utuma isaan maaddiitti dhiʼaatanii jiranuu dubbiin Waaqayyoo jaarsa raajii isa deebisee fide sanatti dhufe.
And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:
21 Innis nama Waaqaa kan Yihuudaadhaa dhufe sanatti iyyee akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha, ‘Ati dubbii Waaqayyoo xureessiteerta; ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennes hin eegne.
And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,
22 Ati dugda duuba deebitee lafa inni itti hin nyaatin yookaan hin dhugin siin jedhe sanatti buddeena nyaattee bishaan illee dhugdeerta. Kanaafuu reeffi kee awwaala abbootii keetii keessatti hin awwaalamu.’”
But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which [the Lord] did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
23 Yommuu namni Waaqaa sun nyaatee dhugee raawwatetti, raajiin deebisee isa fide sun harree isaa irra kooraa kaaʼeef.
And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, [to wit], for the prophet whom he had brought back.
24 Akkuma inni karaa ofii qabateen leenci tokko karaa irratti itti dhufee isa ajjeese; reeffi isaas karaa irratti gatamee harree fi leenci sun reeffa sana bira dhadhaabatanii turan.
And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.
25 Namoonni achiin darban tokko tokko reeffa karaa irratti gatamee leenci bira dhaabate sana arganii gara magaalaa jaarsi raajiin sun jiraatuu dhaqanii odeessan.
And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told [it] in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
26 Raajichi karaadhaa deebisee isa fide sun yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti akkana jedhe; “Inni nama Waaqaa kan dubbii Waaqayyootiif ajajamuu dide sanaa dha. Akkuma dubbiin Waaqayyoo isatti dubbatee ture sanatti Waaqayyo leenca cicciree isa ajjeesutti dabarsee isa kenne.”
And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard [thereof], he said, It [is] the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.
27 Raajiin sunis ilmaan ofii isaatiin, “Harree irra kooraa naaf kaaʼaa” jedhe; isaanis akkasuma godhan.
And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled [him].
28 Innis kaʼee deemee reeffa namichaa kan karaa irratti gatamee harree fi leenci sun bira dhadhaabatan arge. Leenci sun immoo reeffa sana hin nyaanne yookaan harree sana hin ciccirre.
And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass.
29 Kanaafuu raajiin sun booʼeefii isa awwaaluuf jedhee reeffa nama Waaqaa sana harree irra kaaʼee fudhatee magaalaa ofii isaatti gale.
And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.
30 Innis reeffa sana awwaala ofii isaa keessa ciibse; isaanis, “Wayyoo, yaa obboleessa koo!” jedhanii booʼaniif.
And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, [saying], Alas, my brother!
31 Innis erga isa awwaalee booddee ilmaan ofii isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Yoo ani duʼe awwaala namni Waaqaa kun itti awwaalame keessatti na awwaalaa; lafee koos lafee isaa bira kaaʼaa.
And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God [is] buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
32 Ergaan inni iddoo aarsaa kan Beetʼeel keessaatii fi iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen magaalaawwan Samaariyaa keessa gaarran irra jiran sana hundaan mormuudhaan dubbii Waaqayyootiin labse sun dhugumaan ni guutamaatii.”
For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the high places which [are] in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
33 Kana booddees Yerobiʼaam karaa isaa hamaa sana irraa hin deebine; garuu amma illee iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa sanaaf saba hunda keessaa luboota muude. Innis nama luba taʼuu fedhu kam iyyuu iddoo sagadaa sanaaf addaan baase.
After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became [one] of the priests of the high places.
34 Cubbuun mana Yerobiʼaam kan kufaatii isaatii fi lafa irraa badiisa isaa fide sun kana ture.
And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut [it] off, and to destroy [it] from off the face of the earth.
