1 Wafalme 13
1 Kwa neno la Bwana, mtu wa Mungu alifika Betheli kutoka Yuda wakati Yeroboamu alipokuwa amesimama kando ya madhabahu ili kutoa sadaka.
Pea vakai, naʻe haʻu ha tangata ʻoe ʻOtua mei Siuta ko e meʻa ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo ne hoko atu ki Peteli: pea naʻe tuʻu ʻa Selopoami ʻi he veʻe feilaulauʻanga ke ʻatu ʻae meʻa namu kakala.
2 Akapiga kelele dhidi ya madhabahu kwa neno la Bwana: “Ee madhabahu, madhabahu! Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: ‘Mwana aitwaye Yosia atazaliwa katika nyumba ya Daudi. Juu yako atawatoa dhabihu makuhani wa mahali pa juu pa kuabudia miungu wale ambao wanatoa sadaka hapa sasa, nayo mifupa ya wanadamu itachomwa juu yako.’”
Pea naʻa ne ui ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE feilaulauʻanga, ʻe feilaulauʻanga! ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova; Vakai ʻe fanauʻi ha tamasiʻi ki he fale ʻo Tevita, ko Sosaia ʻa hono hingoa; pea te ne ʻohake ʻiate koe ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga ʻakinautolu ʻoku tutu meʻa namu kakala ʻiate koe, pea ʻe tutu ʻiate koe ʻae ngaahi hui ʻoe tangata.”
3 Siku iyo hiyo, mtu wa Mungu akatoa ishara: “Hii ndiyo ishara Bwana aliyotangaza: Madhabahu haya yatapasuka na majivu yaliyo juu yake yatamwagika.”
Pea naʻa ne tuku ʻae fakaʻilonga ʻi he ʻaho pe ko ia, ʻo ne pehē, “Ko hono fakaʻilonga eni kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova; Vakai, ʻe mahaehae ʻae feilaulauʻanga, pea ʻe lilingi atu ʻae efuefu ʻaia ʻoku ʻi ai.”
4 Mfalme Yeroboamu aliposikia kile mtu wa Mungu alichosema, alipopiga kelele dhidi ya madhabahu huko Betheli, akanyoosha mkono wake kutoka madhabahuni na kusema, “Mkamate!” Lakini mkono aliokuwa ameunyoosha kumwelekea yule mtu ukasinyaa na kubaki hapo hapo, kiasi kwamba hakuweza kuurudisha.
Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ʻae tuʻi ko Selo-Poami ki he lea ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻa ne kalanga ʻaki ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻi Peteli, naʻa ne mafao atu hono nima mei he feilaulauʻanga, ʻo ne pehē, “Puke ia.” Pea ko hono nima, ʻaia naʻa ne mafao atu kiate ia, naʻe mate ia, pea naʻe ʻikai ai te ne faʻa toʻo mai ia kiate ia.
5 Pia, madhabahu yalipasuka na majivu yakamwagika sawasawa na ishara iliyotolewa na mtu wa Mungu kwa neno la Bwana.
Naʻe mahaehae foki ʻae feilaulauʻanga, pea naʻe lilingi ʻae efuefu mei he feilaulauʻanga, ʻo fakatatau mo e fakaʻilonga ʻaia naʻe tuku ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova.
6 Kisha mfalme akamwambia mtu wa Mungu, “Niombee kwa Bwana Mungu wako ili mkono wangu upate kupona.” Kwa hiyo mtu wa Mungu akamwombea kwa Bwana, nao mkono wa mfalme ukapona na kuwa kama ulivyokuwa hapo kwanza.
Pea naʻe pehēange ʻe he tuʻi ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, “Fakakolekole eni ki he fofonga ʻo Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, pea ke kole koeʻuhi ko au, ke toe fakamoʻui ʻa hoku nima.” Pea naʻe kole ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe toe fakamoʻui ʻae nima ʻoe tuʻi kiate ia, ʻo hangē ko ʻene teʻeki liliu.
7 Mfalme akamwambia yule mtu wa Mungu, “Twende nyumbani kwangu upate chakula, nami nitakupa zawadi.”
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, “Ke ta ō mo au ki ʻapi, pea ke fakamālōlō ai, pea te u foaki ha totongi kiate koe.”
8 Lakini yule mtu wa Mungu akamjibu mfalme, “Hata kama ungenipa nusu ya mali zako, nisingekwenda pamoja na wewe, wala nisingekula mkate au kunywa maji hapa.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ki he tuʻi, “Kapau te ke ʻomi kiate au hono vaeua ʻo ho fale, ka ʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu mo koe, pea ʻe ʻikai te u kai ha mā pe inu ha vai ʻi he potu ni;
9 Kwa kuwa niliagizwa kwa neno la Bwana: ‘Kamwe usile mkate wala usinywe maji au kurudi kwa njia uliyojia.’”
He naʻe fekauʻi au ʻe he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē, ʻoua naʻa kai ha mā, pe inu ha vai, pe te ke toe liliu mai ʻi he hala naʻa ke ʻalu ai.”
10 Kwa hiyo akafuata njia nyingine na hakurudi kupitia njia ile ambayo alikuwa ameijia Betheli.
Ko ia naʻa ne ʻalu ai ʻi he hala kehe, ʻo ʻikai [te ne ]liliu atu ʻi he hala naʻa ne haʻu ai ki Peteli.
11 Basi kulikuwepo na nabii fulani mzee aliyekuwa anaishi Betheli, ambaye wanawe walikuja kumwambia yote ambayo mtu wa Mungu alikuwa ameyafanya pale siku ile. Pia wakamwambia baba yao yale aliyomwambia mfalme.
Ka ko eni, naʻe ai ha motuʻa palōfita naʻe nofo ʻi Peteli; pea naʻe ʻalu ange ʻa hono ngaahi foha ʻo tala kiate ia ʻae ngaahi ngāue naʻe fai ʻe he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he ʻaho ko ia ʻi Peteli: ko e ngaahi lea naʻa ne lea ʻaki ki he tuʻi, naʻa nau fakahā ia foki ki heʻenau tamai.
12 Baba yao akawauliza, “Ameelekea njia gani?” Nao wanawe wakamwonyesha ile njia yule mtu wa Mungu kutoka Yuda aliyopita.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻenau tamai kiate kinautolu, ‘Naʻa ne ʻalu ʻi he hala fē?” He kuo mamata ʻe hono ngaahi foha ki he hala naʻe ʻalu ai ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻaia naʻe haʻu mei Siuta.
13 Hivyo akawaambia wanawe, “Nitandikieni punda.” Walipokwisha kumtandikia punda, akampanda
Pea naʻa ne pehē ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻAi ʻae hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi. Pea naʻa nau ʻai ʻae hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi, pea naʻa ne heka ki ai,
14 na kumfuatilia yule mtu wa Mungu. Akamkuta ameketi chini ya mwaloni na akamuuliza, “Je, wewe ndiwe mtu wa Mungu kutoka Yuda?” Akamjibu, “Mimi ndiye.”
Pea ne muimui ia ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, pea naʻa ne maʻu atu ia lolotonga ʻene nofo ʻi he lolo ʻoke: pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko koe ia ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaia naʻe haʻu mei Siuta?” Pea naʻa ne pehē mai, “Ko au.”
15 Basi nabii akamwambia, “Karibu nyumbani pamoja na mimi ule.”
Pea naʻa ne toki pehē kiate ia, “Ke ta ō mo au ki ʻapi, pea ke kai ha meʻakai.”
16 Yule mtu wa Mungu akasema, “Siwezi kurudi na kwenda nawe, wala siwezi kula mkate au kunywa maji pamoja nawe mahali hapa.
Pea naʻa ne pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u faʻa foki atu mo koe, pe ʻalu mo koe: pea ʻe ʻikai te u kai ha meʻakai pe inu ha vai mo koe ʻi he potu ni:
17 Nimeambiwa kwa neno la Bwana: ‘Kamwe usile mkate au kunywa maji huko au kurudia njia uliyojia.’”
He naʻe tala mai ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻE ʻikai te ke kai ha mā pe inu ha vai ʻi ai, pe te ke toe liliu atu ke ʻalu ʻi he hala naʻa ke omi ai.”
18 Yule nabii mzee akajibu, “Mimi pia ni nabii, kama wewe. Naye malaika alisema nami kwa neno la Bwana: ‘Mrudishe aje katika nyumba yako ili apate kula mkate na kunywa maji.’” (Lakini alikuwa akimwambia uongo.)
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko e palōfita foki au ʻo hangē ko koe; pea naʻe lea mai ha ʻāngelo kiate au ʻi he fekau ʻa Sihova, ʻo pehē, ‘Toe ʻomi ia mo koe ki ho fale, koeʻuhi ke ne kai ha meʻakai mo inu ha vai.’” Ka naʻa ne loi kiate ia.
19 Hivyo mtu wa Mungu akarudi pamoja naye na akala na kunywa katika nyumba yake.
Ko ia naʻa ne foki atu mo ia, mo ne kai ʻae meʻakai ʻi hono fale, mo ne inu vai.
20 Wakati walipokuwa wameketi mezani, neno la Bwana likamjia yule nabii mzee aliyemrudisha huyo mtu wa Mungu.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, lolotonga ʻena nofo ʻi he keinangaʻanga, naʻe hoko mai ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ki he palōfita naʻe fakafoki mai ia:
21 Akampazia sauti yule mtu wa Mungu aliyekuwa ametoka Yuda, “Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: ‘Umeasi neno la Bwana na hukushika amri uliyopewa na Bwana Mungu wako,
Pea naʻa ne ui ki he tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ʻaia naʻe haʻu mei Siuta, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, Koeʻuhi kuo ke talangataʻa ki he folofola ʻa Sihova, pea kuo ʻikai te ke fai ʻae fekau ʻaia naʻe fekau kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua,
22 bali ulirudi na ukala mkate na kunywa maji mahali ambapo alikuambia usile wala usinywe. Kwa hiyo maiti yako haitazikwa katika kaburi la baba zako.’”
Ka kuo ke toe foki ki mui, pea kuo ke kai ʻae meʻakai mo inu ʻae vai ʻi he potu, ʻaia naʻe pehē ai kiate koe, ‘ʻOua naʻa ke kai ha meʻakai, pe inu ha vai;’ ʻe ʻikai hoko ho ʻangaʻanga ki he fonua loto ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai.”
23 Wakati huyo mtu wa Mungu alipomaliza kula na kunywa, nabii aliyekuwa amemrudisha akamtandikia punda wake.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻa ʻene kai ʻae meʻakai pea hili mo ʻene inu, naʻa ne ʻai ʻae hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi, maʻae palōfita naʻa ne fakafoki mai.
24 Alipokuwa akienda akakutana na simba njiani, akamuua na maiti yake ikabwagwa barabarani, yule punda wake na simba wakiwa wamesimama karibu yake.
Pea ʻi heʻene ʻalu, naʻe fetaulaki mai kiate ia ha laione ʻi he hala, ʻo ne tāmateʻi ia: pea naʻe tō hifo ʻa hono ʻangaʻanga ʻi he hala pea naʻe tuʻu ofi ki ai ʻae ʻasi, pea naʻe tuʻu foki ʻae laione ʻo ofi atu ki he ʻangaʻanga.
25 Baadhi ya watu waliopita pale waliona maiti imebwagwa pale chini, simba akiwa amesimama kando ya maiti, wakaenda na kutoa habari katika mji ambao nabii mzee aliishi.
Pea vakai, naʻe ʻalu atu ai ha kau tangata, ʻonau mamata ki he ʻangaʻanga naʻe lī ʻi he hala, pea mo e laione naʻe tuʻu ofi atu ki he ʻangaʻanga: pea naʻa nau omi ʻo tala ia ʻi he kolo ʻaia naʻe nofo ai ʻae motuʻa palōfita.
26 Yule nabii aliyekuwa amemrudisha kutoka safari yake aliposikia habari hii akasema, “Ni yule mtu wa Mungu ambaye aliasi neno la Bwana. Bwana amemtoa kwa simba, ambaye amemrarua na kumuua, sawasawa na neno la Bwana lilivyokuwa limemwonya.”
Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai ʻae palōfita ʻaia naʻe fakafoki mai ia mei he hala, naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “Ko e tangata ʻoe ʻOtua ia, ʻaia naʻe talangataʻa ki he folofola ʻa Sihova: ko ia kuo tukuange ai ia ki he laione, ʻaia kuo maumauʻi ia, mo tāmateʻi ia, ʻo hangē ko e folofola ʻa Sihova, ʻaia naʻa ne folofolaʻaki kiate ia.”
27 Nabii akawaambia wanawe, “Nitandikieni punda,” nao wakafanya hivyo.
Pea naʻe lea ia ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻo pehē, “ʻAi ʻae hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi maʻaku.” Pea naʻa nau ʻai ʻae hekaʻanga.
28 Kisha akatoka akaenda akakuta maiti imebwagwa chini barabarani, punda na simba wakiwa wamesimama kando yake. Simba hakuwa amekula ile maiti wala kumrarua punda.
Pea naʻa ne ʻalu ʻo ʻilo ʻa hono ʻangaʻanga kuo lī ʻi he hala, pea tutuʻu ʻae ʻasi mo e laione ʻo vāofi mo e ʻangaʻanga: naʻe ʻikai keina ʻe he laione ʻae ʻangaʻanga, pe [te ne ]haehae ʻae ʻasi.
29 Basi yule nabii mzee akachukua maiti ya mtu wa Mungu, akailaza juu ya punda na akairudisha katika mji wake, ili amwombolezee na kumzika.
Pea naʻe toʻo hake ʻe he palōfita ʻae ʻangaʻanga ʻoe tangata ʻoe ʻOtua, ʻo ne fakaheka ia ki he ʻasi, ʻo ne toe ʻomi ia: pea naʻe haʻu ʻae motuʻa palōfita ki he kolo, ke ne tēngihia ia pea ke fai hono putu.
30 Kisha akailaza ile maiti katika kaburi lake huyo nabii mzee, nao wakaomboleza juu yake na kusema, “Ee ndugu yangu!”
Pea naʻa ne tuku hono sino ki hono faʻitoka ʻoʻona; pea naʻa nau tēngihia ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOiauē! ʻA hoku kāinga!”
31 Baada ya kumzika, akawaambia wanawe, “Wakati nitakapokufa, mnizike kwenye kaburi alimozikwa huyu mtu wa Mungu; lazeni mifupa yangu kando ya mifupa yake.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, hili ʻa ʻene tanu ia, naʻa ne lea ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻo pehē, “ʻO kau ka mate au, te mou toki tanu au ʻi he fonua loto ʻaia kuo tanu ai ʻae tangata ʻoe ʻOtua; tuku fakataha ʻa hoku ngaahi hui mo hono ngaahi hui:”
32 Kwa maana ujumbe alioutangaza kwa neno la Bwana dhidi ya madhabahu huko Betheli na dhidi ya madhabahu yote katika mahali pa juu pa kuabudia miungu katika miji ya Samaria, hakika yatatokea kweli.”
Koeʻuhi ko e lea naʻa ne kalanga ʻaki ʻi he folofola ʻa Sihova ki he feilaulauʻanga ʻi Peteli, pea ki he ngaahi fale kotoa pē ʻi he ngaahi potu māʻolunga, ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻo Samelia, ʻe hoko moʻoni ia ʻo fai.
33 Hata baada ya haya, Yeroboamu hakubadili njia zake mbaya, lakini mara nyingine tena akaweka makuhani kwa ajili ya mahali pa juu pa kuabudia miungu kutoka watu wa aina zote. Yeyote aliyetaka kuwa kuhani alimweka wakfu kwa ajili ya mahali pa juu pa kuabudia miungu.
Kae hili ʻae meʻa ni naʻe ʻikai tafoki ʻa Selopoami mei hono hala kovi, ka naʻa ne toe fakanofo ʻae kau taulaʻeiki mei he kau tuʻa ʻoe kakai, ki he ngaahi potu māʻolunga: ko ia fulipē naʻe loto ki ai, naʻa ne fakanofo ia ʻo ne hoko ki he faʻahinga taulaʻeiki ʻoe ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
34 Hii ilikuwa ndiyo dhambi ya nyumba ya Yeroboamu ambayo iliisababishia kuanguka na kuangamia kwake hadi kutoweka kwenye uso wa dunia.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻae meʻa ni ko e angahala ki he fale ʻo Selopoami, ke motuhi ai ia, pea ke fakaʻauha ia mei he funga ʻo māmani.
