1 Wafalme 13
1 Mtu wa Mungu alikuja tokea Yuda kwa neno la BWANA kule Betheli. Naye Yeroboamu alikuwa amesimama karibu na madhabahu ili kufukiza uvumba.
And there! - a man of God he came from Judah by [the] word of Yahweh to Beth-el and Jeroboam [was] standing at the altar to make smoke.
2 Akalia kinyume na zile madhabahu kwa neno la BWANA: “Ee madhabahu, madhabahu” hivi ndivyo asemavyo BWANA, 'Tazama, mwana aitwaye Yosia atazaliwa katika familia ya Daudi, na juu yenu atawachinja makuhani ambao sasa wanafukiza uvumba mahali hapa pa juu kwa ajili yako. Juu yako watachoma mifupa ya watu.'”
And he called out on the altar by [the] word of Yahweh and he said O altar altar thus he says Yahweh here! a son [is] about to be born to [the] house of David [will be] Josiah name his and he will sacrifice on you [the] priests of the high places who make smoke on you and bones of humankind people will burn on you.
3 Kisha mtu wa Mungu akatoa ishara siku hiyohiyo, akisema, “Hii ndiyo isharaya kwamba BWANA amesema: 'Tazama, madhabahu zitavuunjika, na majivu yaliyo juu yatamwagika.”
And he gave on the day that a sign saying this [is] the sign which he has spoken Yahweh here! the altar [is] about to be torn apart and it will be poured out the fatty ash which [is] on it.
4 Naye mfalme aliposikia kile mtu wa Mungu alichosema, kwamba amelia kinyume cha zile madhabahu kule Betheli, Yeroboamu akanyosha mkono wake kutoka madhabahuni, akisema, “mkamateni.” Ndipo ule mkono aliokuwa ameunyosha dhidi ya mtu wa Mungu ukakauka, kiasi kwamba hakuweza kuurudisha mwenyewe.
And it was when heard the king [the] word of [the] man of God which he called out on the altar at Beth-el and he stretched out Jeroboam hand his from at the altar saying - seize him and it dried up hand his which he had stretched out on him and not he was able to bring back it to himself.
5 Na ile madhabahu ikavunjika vipande vipande, na yale majivu yakamwagika kutoka madhabahuni, kama ilivyokuwa imefafanuliwa kuwa ndiyo ishara ya kwamba mtu wa Mungu alikuwa amepewa kwa neno la BWANA.
And the altar it was torn apart and it was poured out the fatty ash from the altar according to the sign which he had given [the] man of God by [the] word of Yahweh.
6 Mfalme Yeroboamu akajibu akimwambia mtu wa Mungu, “Msihi BWANA, Mungu wako akupe neema ili uniombee, ili kwamba mkono wangu urejee kwangu tena.” Kwa hiyo mtu wa Mungu akamwomba BWANA, na mkono wa mfalme ukarejea katika hali yake tena, na ukawa kama ulivyokuwa mwanzoni.
And he answered the king and he said - to [the] man of God entreat please [the] face of Yahweh God your and pray for me so may it come back hand my to me and he entreated [the] man of God [the] face of Yahweh and it came back [the] hand of the king to him and it was as at the former [time].
7 Yule mfalme akamwambia mtu wa Mungu, “twende nyumbani kwangu upate chakula, nami nitakupa zawadi.”
And he spoke the king to [the] man of God come! with me the house towards and sustain! so let me give to you a gift.
8 Yule mtu wa Mungu akamwambia mfalme, “Hata kama utanipa nusu ya miliki yako. staende na wewe, wala sitakula au kunywa maji mahali hapa,
And he said [the] man of God to the king if you will give to me half of household your not I will go with you and not I will eat bread and not I will drink water in the place this.
9 kwa sababu BWANA ameniamuru kwa neno lake, 'hutakula mkate wala kunywa maji, wala kurudi kwa njia ulioijia.'”
For thus - he commanded me by [the] word of Yahweh saying not you must eat bread and not you must drink water and not you must return by the way which you went.
10 Kwa hiyo mtu wa Mungu akaondoka na hakurudi nyumbani kwa njia aliyokuja nayo huko Betheli.
And he went by a way another and not he returned by the way which he had come by it to Beth-el.
11 Sasa kulikuwa na nabii mwingine mzee aliyekuwa akiishi Betheli, na mmoja wa wana wake akaja kumwambia mambo yote ambayo mtu wa Mungu amefanya siku hiyo kule Betheli. Wana wake wakamwambia pia maneno ambayo Yule mtu wa Mungu alimwambia mfalme.
And a prophet one old [was] dwelling in Beth-el and he came son his and he recounted to him every deed which he had done [the] man of God - this day in Beth-el the words which he had spoken to the king and they recounted them to father their.
12 Baba yao akawaambia, “Alienda kwa njia gani?” Wale wanawe walikuwa wamemwona yule mtu wa Mungu kutoka Yuda njia aliyotumia kurudi.
And he spoke to them father their where? this [is] the way [which] he went and they had seen sons his the way which he had gone [the] man of God who he had come from Judah.
13 Kwa hiyo akawaambia wanawe, “Nitandikeni punda.” Kwa hiyo wakamtandikia punda naye akampanda.
And he said to sons his saddle for me the donkey and they saddled for him the donkey and he rode on it.
14 Yule nabii mzee akamfuata yule mtu wa Mungu na akamkuta amekaa chini ya mti wa mwaloni; akamwambia, “Je, wewe ndiye mtu wa Mungu aliyetoka Yuda?” Naye akamjibu, “Mimi ndiye.”
And he went after [the] man of God and he found him sitting under the oak and he said to him ¿ [are] you [the] man of God who you came from Judah and he said I [am].
15 Kisha yule nabii mzee akamwambia, “twende nyumbani kwangu ukale chakula.”
And he said to him come with me the house towards and eat bread.
16 Yule mtu wa Mungu akamjibu, “Siwezi kurudi na wewe wala kuingia ndani na wewe, tena sitakula chakula wala kunywa maji pamoja na wewe mahali hapa,
And he said not I am able to turn back with you and to go with you and not I will eat bread and not I will drink with you water in the place this.
17 kwa sababu niliamuriwa hivyo kwa neno la BWANA, 'Hautakula chakula wala kunywa maji kule, wala kurudi kwa njia utakayokuja nayo.'”
For a word [was] to me by [the] word of Yahweh not you must eat bread and not you must drink there water not you must return to go by the way which you went by it.
18 Kwa hiyo yule nabii mzee akamwambia, “Mimi pia ni nabii kama ulivyo, na malaika amesema na mimi neno la BWANA, akisema, 'Mrudishe aje na wewe katika nyumba yako, ili aweze kula chakula na kunywa maji.'” Lakini alikuwa anamdanganya mtu wa Mungu.
And he said to him also I [am] a prophet like you and an angel it has spoken to me by [the] word of Yahweh saying bring back him with you to house your so he may eat bread so he may drink water he lied to him.
19 Kwa hiyo yule mtu wa Mungu akarudi pamoja na yule nabii mzee na akala chakula nyumbani kwake na akanywa maji.
And he went back with him and he ate bread in house his and he drank water.
20 Walipokuwa wamekaa mezani, neno la BWANA likamjia yule nabii aliyemrudisha,
And it was they [were] sitting to the table. And it came [the] word of Yahweh to the prophet who he had brought back him.
21 naye akalia kwa mtu wa Mungu aliyetoka Yuda, akisema “BWANA anasema, 'Kwa kuwa umeshindwa kutii nenola BWANA na umeshindwa kuishika amri ya BWANA ambayo Mungu wako alikupa,
And he called out to [the] man of God who he had come from Judah saying thus he says Yahweh because for you have been disobedient to [the] mouth of Yahweh and not you have kept the command which he commanded you Yahweh God your.
22 bali umerudi na umekula chakula na kunywa maji mahali ambapo BWANA alikwambia usile chakula wala kunywa maji, basi mwili wako hautazikwa kwenye makaburi ya baba zako.'”
And you went back and you ate bread and you drank water in the place which he spoke to you may not you eat bread and may not you drink water not it will go corpse your to [the] grave of ancestors your.
23 Baada ya kula chakula na kunywa maji, Yule nabii akatandika punda wa mtu wa Mungu, yule mtu aliyerudi naye.
And it was after ate he bread and after drank he and he saddled for him the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back him.
24 Baada ya mtu wa Mungu kuondoka, akakutana na simba njiani na kumwua barabarani, na mwili wake uliachwa barabarani. Na yule punda akasimama pembeni yake, na yule simba naye akasimama pembeni ya ule mwili.
And he went and it met him a lion on the way and it killed him and it was corpse his thrown down in the road and the donkey [was] standing beside it and the lion [was] standing beside the corpse.
25 Watu walipopita na kuuona ule mwili umeachwa barabarani, na yule simba akisimama karibu na ule mwili, walikuja wakaeleza habari hiyo mjini kule ambako yule nabii mzee aliishi.
And there! men [were] passing by and they saw the corpse thrown down in the road and the lion standing beside the corpse and they went and they spoke in the city which the prophet old [was] dwelling in it.
26 Yule nabii aliyemrudisha toka njiani aliposikia, akasema, “Yeye mtu wa Muugu ndiye aliyeshindwa kutii neno la BWANA. Kwa hiyo BWANA alimtoa kwa simba, ambaye amemrarua katika vipande vipande na kumwua, kama vile neno la BWANA lilivyokuwa limemwonya.”
And he heard the prophet who he had brought back him from the way and he said [is] [the] man of God that who he was disobedient to [the] mouth of Yahweh and he has given him Yahweh to the lion and it has mauled him and it has killed him according to [the] word of Yahweh which he spoke to him.
27 Kwa hiyo yule nabii mzee akawaamnbia wanawe, akisema, “Tandikeni punda wangu,” nao wakamtandikia.
And he spoke to sons his saying saddle for me the donkey and they saddled [it].
28 Akaenda akaukuta mwili umeachwa barabarani, punda na simba wamesimama pembeni ya ule mwili. Yule simba hakuula ule mwili, wala hakumshambulia yule punda.
And he went and he found corpse his thrown down in the road and [the] donkey and the lion [were] standing beside the corpse not it had eaten the lion the corpse and not it had mauled the donkey.
29 Yule nabii akauchukua ule mwili wa mtu wa Mungu, akaulaza juu ya punda, na akaurudisha. Akaja kwenye mji wake kuomboleza na kuuzika.
And he picked up the prophet [the] corpse of [the] man of God and he placed him to the donkey and he brought back him and he came to [the] city of the prophet old to mourn and to bury him.
30 Akaulaza mwili kwenye kaburi lake, nao wakamwombolezea, wakisema, “Aa! ndugu yangu!”
And he placed corpse his in own grave his and people mourned on him alas! O brother my.
31 Kisha baada ya kumzika, yule nabii mzee akawaambia wanawe, akasema, “Nitakapokufa, mtanizika kwenye kaburi ambalo tumemzika mtu wa Mungu. Mtalaza mifupa yangu pembeni mwa mifupa yake.
And it was after buried he him and he said to sons his saying at death my and you will bury me in the grave which [the] man of God [is] buried in it beside bones his place bones my.
32 Kwa kuwa ule ujumbe uliosemwa na BWANA, dhidi ya madhabahu kule Betheli na dhidi ya nyumba zote za mahali pa juu katika mji wa Samaria, hakika yatatokea.
For certainly it will happen the word which he called out by [the] word of Yahweh on the altar which [is] in Beth-el and on all [the] houses of the high places which [are] in [the] cities of Samaria.
33 Baada ya haya Yeroboamu hakuuacha uovu wake, aliendelea kuchagua makuhani wa kawaida kwa ajili ya mahali pa juu kutoka kwa watu wa kila aina. Yeyote ambaye angeweza kutumika alimtakasa kuwa kuhani.
After the matter this not he turned back Jeroboam from way his evil and he returned and he appointed from [the] ends of the people priests of high places the [one] desiring he filled hand his and he may be priests of high places.
34 Jambo hili likawa dhambi kwenye familia ya Yeroboamu na kusababisha familia yake kuangamizwa na kuondolewa kabisa katika uso wa dunia.
And it became by the matter this [the] sin of [the] house of Jeroboam and to annihilate [it] and to destroy [it] from on [the] surface of the ground.
