1 Tuʻi 13
1 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.
Behold, a man of God came out of Judah by the LORD’s word to Bethel; and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.
2 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.”
He cried against the altar by the LORD’s word, and said, “Altar! Altar! The LORD says: ‘Behold, a son will be born to David’s house, Josiah by name. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men’s bones on you.’”
3 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.”
He gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which the LORD has spoken: Behold, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will be poured out.”
4 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.
When the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!” His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to himself.
5 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.
The altar was also split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the LORD’s word.
6 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.
The king answered the man of God, “Now intercede for the favor of the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again.” The man of God interceded with the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored to him again, and became as it was before.
7 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.”
The king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”
8 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;
The man of God said to the king, “Even if you gave me half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither would I eat bread nor drink water in this place;
9 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.”
for so was it commanded me by the LORD’s word, saying, ‘You shall eat no bread, drink no water, and don’t return by the way that you came.’”
10 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.
So he went another way, and didn’t return by the way that he came to Bethel.
11 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.
Now an old prophet lived in Bethel, and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
12 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.
Their father said to them, “Which way did he go?” Now his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
13 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,
He said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.
14 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.”
He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. He said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” He said, “I am.”
15 Pea naʻa ne toki pehē kiate ia, “Ke ta ō mo au ki ʻapi, pea ke kai ha meʻakai.”
Then he said to him, “Come home with me and eat bread.”
16 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:
He said, “I may not return with you, nor go in with you. I will not eat bread or drink water with you in this place.
17 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.”
For it was said to me by the LORD’s word, ‘You shall eat no bread or drink water there, and don’t turn again to go by the way that you came.’”
18 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.
He said to him, “I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the LORD’s word, saying, ‘Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’” He lied to him.
19 Ko ia naʻa ne foki atu mo ia, mo ne kai ʻae meʻakai ʻi hono fale, mo ne inu vai.
So he went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
20 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:
As they sat at the table, the LORD’s word came to the prophet who brought him back;
21 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,
and he cried out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have been disobedient to the LORD’s word, and have not kept the commandment which the LORD your God commanded you,
22 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.”
but came back, and have eaten bread and drank water in the place of which he said to you, “Eat no bread, and drink no water,” your body will not come to the tomb of your fathers.’”
23 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.
After he had eaten bread and after he drank, he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
24 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.
When he had gone, a lion met him by the way and killed him. His body was thrown on the path, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.
25 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.
Behold, men passed by and saw the body thrown on the path, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.
26 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.”
When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, “It is the man of God who was disobedient to the LORD’s word. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke to him.”
27 Pea naʻe lea ia ki hono ngaahi foha, ʻo pehē, “ʻAi ʻae hekaʻanga ki he ʻasi maʻaku.” Pea naʻa nau ʻai ʻae hekaʻanga.
He said to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they saddled it.
28 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.
He went and found his body thrown on the path, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body nor mauled the donkey.
29 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.
The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. He came to the city of the old prophet to mourn, and to bury him.
30 Pea naʻa ne tuku hono sino ki hono faʻitoka ʻoʻona; pea naʻa nau tēngihia ia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOiauē! ʻA hoku kāinga!”
He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, “Alas, my brother!”
31 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:”
After he had buried him, he spoke to his sons, saying, “When I am dead, bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones.
32 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.
For the saying which he cried by the LORD’s word against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely happen.”
33 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.
After this thing, Jeroboam didn’t turn from his evil way, but again made priests of the high places from among all the people. Whoever wanted to, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places.
34 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.
This thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off and to destroy it from off the surface of the earth.
