1 Mootota 13
1 Utuma Yerobiʼaam aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf iddoo aarsaa bira dhaabachaa jiruu namni Waaqaa tokko ajaja Waaqayyootiin Yihuudaadhaa baʼee Beetʼeel dhufe.
And lo! a man of God, came in out of Judah, by the word of Yahweh, unto Bethel, —as Jeroboam was standing by the altar, to make a perfume.
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 made proclamation against the altar, by the word of Yahweh, and said, O altar! altar! Thus, saith Yahweh, —Lo! a son to be born unto the house of David, Josiah his name, who shall sacrifice upon thee the priests of the high-places, who are making a perfume upon thee, and, human bones, shall be burned 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 shall give, on that day, a sign, saying, This, is the sign of which Yahweh hath spoken, —Lo! the altar, is to be rent, and the ashes that are upon thee 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 the king heard the word of the man of God which he proclaimed against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam thrust forth his hand, from off the altar, saying—Lay hold of him! and his hand which he had thrust forth against him was dried up, that he could not draw it back to him.
5 Iddoon aarsaa sunis akkuma mallattoo namni Waaqaa sun dubbii Waaqayyootiin kenne sanaatti gargari baqaqee daaraan isa irra tures lafatti gad jige.
Moreover, the altar, 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 Yahweh.
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.
Then responded the king and said unto the man of God—Appease, I pray thee, the face of Yahweh thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored unto me. So the man of God appeased the face of Yahweh, and the hand of the king was restored unto him, and became as aforetime.
7 Mootichi nama Waaqaa sanaan, “Kottu na wajjin mana kootti galiitii waa nyaadhu; anis kennaa siifin kennaa” jedhe.
Then spake the king unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, —and let me give thee a present.
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.
But the man of God said unto the king—If thou wouldst give me the half of thy house, I would not go in with thee, —neither would I eat bread or 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, he charged me, by the word of Yahweh, saying, Thou shalt not eat bread, nor shalt thou drink water, —neither shalt thou come back by the way thou wentest.
10 Kanaafuu inni karaa biraa qabatee deeme malee karaa gara Beetʼeel dhufe sanaan hin deebine.
So he departed another way, —and went not back by the way by which he came unto Bethel.
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.
But, a certain aged prophet, was dwelling in Bethel, —whose sons came in and related to him all the deeds which the man of God had done that day in Bethel—and the words which he had spoken unto the king, and they related them 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, Which way then went he? Now his sons had seen the way which the man of God went who had come in out of Judah.
13 Kana irratti inni ilmaan isaatiin, “Harree irra kooraa naaf kaaʼaa” jedhe. Isaanis harree irra kooraa keenyaaniif inni harree sana yaabbatee
So he said unto his sons, Saddle for me, the ass. And they saddled for 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 who came in out of Judah? And he said—I am.
15 Raajiin sunis, “Kottuu na wajjin mana kootti galiitii waa nyaadhu” jedheen.
Then said he 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 or 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 there came a message unto me by the word of Yahweh, Thou shalt neither eat bread, nor drink water there, —thou shalt not turn back to come by the way by which thou wentest.
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.
And he said to him-I also, am a prophet, like unto thee, and, a messenger, hath spoken unto me, by the word of Yahweh, saying—Bring him back with thee, into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived 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 so it was, as, they, were sitting at the table, yea, so it was, that the word of Yahweh came unto the prophet who had 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 out unto the man of God who had come in out of Judah, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Forasmuch as thou hast rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, and hast not kept the commandment which Yahweh 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 hast returned, and eaten bread and drunk water, in the place of which he said unto thee, Thou mayest neither eat bread nor drink water: thy dead body shall not enter the burying-place 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, 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 had gone, there met him a lion by the way, and slew him, —and his dead body was cast out in the way, and, the ass, was standing near it, and, the lion, was standing near the dead body.
25 Namoonni achiin darban tokko tokko reeffa karaa irratti gatamee leenci bira dhaabate sana arganii gara magaalaa jaarsi raajiin sun jiraatuu dhaqanii odeessan.
And lo! certain men, passing by, saw the dead body, cast out in the way, and the lion standing near the dead body, —so they came in, and spake [of it] in the city, wherein, the aged 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 who had brought him back from the way heard of it, he said—The man of God, it is, who rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, —therefore did Yahweh deliver him unto the lion, and it hath torn him and slain him, according to the word of Yahweh which he spake unto him.
27 Raajiin sunis ilmaan ofii isaatiin, “Harree irra kooraa naaf kaaʼaa” jedhe; isaanis akkasuma godhan.
And he spake unto his sons, saying, Saddle for me the ass. And they saddled it.
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.
So he went and found his dead body, cast out in the way, with, the ass and the lion, standing near the dead body, —the lion had neither eaten the dead body, nor had it 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 dead body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back, —and the aged prophet came into the city, to make lamentation, and to bury him.
30 Innis reeffa sana awwaala ofii isaa keessa ciibse; isaanis, “Wayyoo, yaa obboleessa koo!” jedhanii booʼaniif.
And he laid his dead body in his own grave, —and they lamented 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 unto his sons, saying, When I die, then shall ye bury me in the grave wherein the man of God is buried; beside his bones, lay my 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 message which he proclaimed, by the ward of Yahweh, against the altar which is in Bethel, —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 turned not from his wicked way, —but again made, from the whole compass of the people, priests of high places, whomsoever he would, he installed, and he became priest of high places.
34 Cubbuun mana Yerobiʼaam kan kufaatii isaatii fi lafa irraa badiisa isaa fide sun kana ture.
And so this thing became the sin of the house of Jeroboam, —that it should be both taken away and destroyed, from off the face of the ground.
