Boqorradii Kowaad 13
1 Markaasaa waxaa Yahuudah ka yimid nin Ilaah oo Eraygii Rabbiga ku yimid Beytel; oo Yaaraabcaamna wuxuu ag taagnaa meeshii allabariga inuu foox shido aawadeed.
One day a prophet, obeying what Yahweh commanded him to do, went from Judah [north] to Bethel. He arrived there right at the time that Jeroboam was standing at the altar, ready to burn incense.
2 Markaasuu wax ka gees ah meeshii allabariga ku qayliyey sidii Rabbigu ku amray, oo wuxuu yidhi, Meeshii allabarigay, meeshii allabarigay, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Reer Daa'uud waxaa u dhalan doona wiil magiciisa la yidhaahdo Yoosiyaah, oo isna dushaada wuxuu ku qali doonaa wadaaddada meelaha sarsare ee dushaada fooxa ku shida, oo waxaa dushaada lagu gubi doonaa dad lafihiis.
Saying what Yahweh told him to say, the prophet shouted, “This is what Yahweh says [about this] altar [APO]: ‘I want you to know that [some day] a descendant [MTY] of King David will be born. His name will be Josiah, and he will come here. He will slaughter at this altar the priests who are burning incense for sacrifices on the hills [in this area], and he will burn the bones of dead people on this altar.’” [APO]
3 Oo isla maalintaasba calaamad buu tusay oo wuxuu yidhi, Tanu waa calaamaddii Rabbigu ku hadlay: Bal ogaada, meesha allabarigu way kala dillaaci doontaa oo dambaska saaranuna wuu soo daadan doonaa.
Then the prophet also said, “This is what will prove to you that Yahweh has said this: This altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be scattered.’”
4 Oo markii boqorkii maqlay hadalkii ninka Ilaah uu ku qayliyey ee ka geesta ahaa meeshii allabariga oo Beytel ku tiil ayuu Yaaraabcaam gacanta ka soo fidiyey meeshii allabariga oo wuxuu yidhi, War ninka qabta. Oo gacantii uu isaga ku fidiyeyna way qallashay, mar dambena wuu soo laabi kari waayay.
When King Jeroboam heard the prophet say that, he pointed his finger at him and said to his servants, “Seize that man!” But immediately the king’s arm became paralyzed/stiff, with the result that he could not move it.
5 Oo meeshii allabariguna way kala dillaacday, oo dambaskiina wuu ka soo daatay meeshii allabariga, sidii calaamaddii uu ninka Ilaah bixiyey ee Rabbigu ku amray.
And the altar immediately split apart, and the ashes spilled out [on the ground], which is what the prophet said that Yahweh [MTY] had predicted would happen.
6 Markaasaa boqorkii ugu jawaabay ninkii Ilaah, Haddaba Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah raallinimo iiga bari, oo ii ducee in gacantaydu ii soo noqoto aawadeed. Markaasaa ninkii Ilaah Rabbiga baryay, oo boqorkiina gacantiisii way u soo noqotay, oo waxay u noqotay sidii ay markii hore ahayd.
Then the king said to the prophet, “Please pray that Yahweh will be merciful to me and heal my arm!” So the prophet prayed, and Yahweh completely healed the king’s arm.
7 Dabadeedna boqorkii wuxuu ninkii Ilaah ku yidhi, Kaalay, guriga ii raac, oo isqabooji, oo anna waan kuu abaalgudayaa.
Then the king said to the prophet, “Come home with me and eat some food. And I will also give you a reward [for what you have done]!”
8 Kolkaasaa ninkii Ilaah wuxuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Xataa haddaad gurigaaga badhkiis i siinayso ku raaci maayo, oo innaba kibisna ku cuni maayo, biyona ka cabbi maayo meeshan;
But the prophet replied, “Even if you would [promise to] give me half of everything that you own [MTY], I will not go with you, and I will not eat or drink anything with you here,
9 waayo, Erayga Rabbiga ayaa saas igu amray, oo yidhi, Waa inaadan kibis cunin, biyona cabbin, waana inaadan dib u sii qaadin jidkii aad soo martay.
because Yahweh commanded me not to eat or drink anything here. He also commanded me not to return home on the road on which I came here.”
10 Oo sidaas daraaddeed jid kaluu maray, dib umana uu sii qaadin jidkii uu Beytel u soo maray.
So he started to return home, but he did not go on the road on which he came to Bethel. He went on a different road.
11 Waagaas waxaa Beytel degganaa nebi duq ah, oo wiilashiisii midkood baa u yimid oo u soo sheegay kulli shuqulladii ninka Ilaah maalintaas Beytel ku sameeyey; oo erayadii uu boqorka kula hadlayna aabbahood way u soo sheegeen.
At that time there was an old man living in Bethel who was a prophet. His sons came and told him what the prophet [from Judah] had done there on that day, and they also told him what the prophet had said to the king.
12 Markaasaa aabbahood ku yidhi, Jidkee buu qaaday? Oo wiilashiisuna way arkeen jidkii ninkii Ilaah oo Yahuudah ka yimid qaaday.
Their father said, “On which road did he go?” So his sons showed him the road on which the prophet from Judah had gone [when he left Bethel].
13 Markaasuu wiilashiisii ku yidhi, War dameerka ii kooreeya. Dameerkiina way u kooreeyeen oo isna wuu fuulay.
Then he said to his sons, “Put a saddle on my donkey.” So they did that, and he got on the donkey.
14 Oo ninkii Ilaah wuu daba galay, oo helay isagoo geed hoos fadhiya; kolkaasuu ku yidhi, War ma waxaad tahay ninkii Ilaah oo Yahuudah ka yimid? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Haah, waan ahay.
He went along the road to (find/catch up with) the prophet from Judah. He found him sitting under an oak tree. He said to him, “Are you the prophet who came from Judah?” He replied, “Yes, I am.”
15 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Kaalay oo gurigaygii ii raac aad kibis soo cuntide.
The old prophet said to him, “Come home with me and eat some food.”
16 Isna wuxuu yidhi, Kari maayo inaan kula noqdo iyo inaan gurigaaga galo toona. Halkan innaba kibis kugula cuni maayo, biyona kugula cabbi maayo.
He replied, “No, I am not allowed to go with you into your house, or to eat or drink anything with you,
17 Waayo, erayga Rabbigu wuxuu igu yidhi, Waa inaadan meeshaas kibis ku cunin, biyona ka cabbin, jidkii aad soo martayna dib ha u sii qaadin.
because Yahweh told me, ‘Do not eat or drink anything here, and do not return home on the road on which you came.’”
18 Isna wuxuu ku yidhi, War anba waxaan ahay nebi kula mid ah, oo malaa'ig baa Eraygii Rabbiga igula hadashay oo igu tidhi, Isaga soo celi oo gurigaaga keen inuu kibis cuno oo biyo cabbo. Laakiinse been buu u sheegay.
Then the old prophet said to him, “I also am a prophet, like you are. Yahweh sent an angel to tell me that I should take you home with me and give you some food and drink.” But the old man was lying [when he said that].
19 Sidaas daraaddeed wuu la noqday, oo gurigiisii buu kibis ka cunay, biyona ka cabbay.
But because of what the old prophet said, the prophet from Judah returned with him to his home and ate some food and drank some water with him.
20 Markaasaa intay miiska wada fadhiyeen uu eraygii Rabbigu u yimid nebigii soo celiyey.
While they were sitting at the table, Yahweh spoke to the old man.
21 Wuuna ku qayliyey ninkii Ilaah oo Yahuudah ka yimid, oo ku yidhi, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Caasi baad ku noqotay Rabbiga, mana aadan xajin amarkii Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahu kugu amray,
Then he cried out to the prophet from Judah, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You have disobeyed him, and you have not done what he commanded you to do.
22 laakiinse waad soo noqotay oo kibis baad ku cuntay, biyona waad ku cabtay meeshii uu kugu yidhi, Kibis ha ku cunin, biyona ha ku cabbin. Sidaas daraaddeed meydkaagu gaadhi maayo xabaashii awowayaashaa.
Instead, you have come back here and had things to eat and drink in a place where he commanded you not to do that. As a result, you will be killed, and your body will not be buried in the grave where your ancestors are buried.’”
23 Oo markuu kibis cunay oo biyo cabbay dabadeed ayuu dameerkiisii u kooreeyey nebigii uu soo celiyey.
When they had finished eating, the old man put a saddle on the donkey for the prophet from Judah, [and the prophet from Judah left].
24 Oo markuu ka tegey ayaa libaax jidkii kaga hor yimid, wuuna dilay isagii; oo meydkiisiina waxaa lagu tuuray jidka dhexdiisa, oo dameerkiina wuu ag taagnaa; libaaxiina wuxuu dhinac taagnaa meydka.
But as he was going, a lion met him and killed him. The prophet’s corpse was lying on the road, and the donkey was standing beside it, and the lion was also standing beside the corpse.
25 Oo bal eeg, dad baa soo ag maray, oo waxay arkeen meydka jidka lagu tuuray iyo libaaxa meydka agtiisa taagan; oo waxay yimaadeen magaaladii nebiga duqa ahu degganaa, markaasay dadkii u sheegeen.
Some men passed by and were surprised to see the corpse on the road and the lion standing next to the corpse. So they went into Bethel and reported what they had seen.
26 Oo nebigii isaga jidka ka soo celiyey markuu taas maqlay ayuu yidhi, Waa ninkii Ilaah oo ku caasiyoobay Rabbiga; oo sidaas daraaddeed ayuu Rabbigu isaga ugu gacan gashay libaaxa dildillaacsaday oo dilay, taasuna waa sidii uu ahaa erayguu Rabbigu kula hadlay.
When the old man who had brought the prophet from Judah to his home heard about it, he said, “That is the prophet who disobeyed what Yahweh told him to do! That is why Yahweh allowed the lion to attack him and kill him. That is what Yahweh said would happen!”
27 Markaasuu wiilashiisii la hadlay oo ku yidhi, War dameerka ii kooreeya. Oo iyana way u kooreeyeen.
Then he said to his sons, “Put a saddle on my donkey.” So they did that.
28 Kolkaasuu tegey oo wuxuu helay meydkiisii oo jidka dhex yaal, iyo dameerkii iyo libaaxii oo meydka ag taagan; libaaxiina meydkii ma cunin, dameerkiina ma dildillaacsan.
Then he rode on the donkey and found the prophet’s corpse on the road, and his donkey and the lion were still standing there alongside the corpse. But the lion had not eaten any of the flesh of the prophet and had not attacked the donkey.
29 Oo nebigiina wuxuu qaaday meydkii ninkii Ilaah, oo kor saaray dameerkii, wuuna soo celiyey. Markaasuu yimid magaaladii nebigii duqa ahaa inuu halkaas ku aaso oo ugu baroorto.
The old man picked up the corpse of the prophet and put it on his donkey and brought it back to Bethel, in order to mourn for him and to bury his corpse.
30 Oo xabaashiisii uu isagu lahaa ayuu meydkiisii geliyey, wayna u baroorteen, oo yidhaahdeen, Hoognay, walaalkayow!
He buried the prophet’s corpse in the grave where other people in his family [had been buried]. Then he and his sons mourned for him, saying, “[We are very sorry], my brother!”
31 Oo markuu aasay dabadeed ayuu wiilashiisii la hadlay oo ku yidhi, Markaan dhinto igu xabaala xabaashii ninkii Ilaah lagu xabaalay, oo lafahayga lafihiisa ag dhiga.
After they had buried him, the old man said to his sons, “When I die, bury my corpse in the grave where we buried the prophet from Judah. Lay my corpse next to his corpse.
32 Waayo, hadalkii uu amarkii Rabbiga ku qayliyey ee ka geesta ahaa meesha allabariga oo Beytel ku taal, iyo kulli guryaha meelaha sarsare oo ku yaal magaalooyinka reer Samaariya, hubaal wuu ahaan doonaa.
[And do not forget what he said, because] the things that Yahweh told him to say about the altar in Bethel, and about the shrines on the hills in the towns in Samaria, will surely happen.”
33 Oo waxyaalahaas dabadood Yaaraabcaam kama uu noqon jidkiisii sharka ahaa, laakiinse wuxuu dadkii oo dhan ka doortay wadaaddo meelaha sarsare; oo mid kasta oo doonayayba wuu daahiriyey inay jiraan wadaaddo meelaha sarsare.
But King Jeroboam still did not turn away from continuing to do evil things. Instead, he appointed more priests [who were not descended from Levi]. Anyone who wanted to be a priest, he appointed to be a priest, in order that he could offer sacrifices on the hills.
34 Oo taasuna dembi bay u noqotay reer Yaaraabcaam iyo xataa inay gooyso oo dhulka ka baabbi'iso.
Because he committed that sin, [a few years later] God got rid of most of Jeroboam’s descendants and did not allow them to become kings of Israel.
