< 1 Kings 13 >
1 Sì kíyèsi i, ènìyàn Ọlọ́run kan wá láti Juda sí Beteli nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, bì Jeroboamu sì ti dúró lẹ́bàá a pẹpẹ láti fi tùràrí jóná.
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 Ó sì kígbe sí pẹpẹ náà nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa wí pé, “Pẹpẹ! Pẹpẹ! Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: ‘A ó bí ọmọkùnrin kan tí orúkọ rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Josiah ní ilé Dafidi. Lórí rẹ ni yóò sì fi àwọn àlùfáà ibi gíga wọ̀n-ọn-nì tí ń fi tùràrí lórí rẹ̀ rú ẹbọ, a ó sì sun egungun ènìyàn lórí rẹ.’”
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 Ní ọjọ́ kan náà ènìyàn Ọlọ́run sì fún wọn ní àmì kan wí pé, “Èyí ni àmì tí Olúwa ti kéde: kíyèsi i, pẹpẹ náà yóò ya, eérú tí ń bẹ lórí rẹ̀ yóò sì dànù.”
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 Nígbà tí Jeroboamu ọba sì gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run, tí ó kígbe sí pẹpẹ náà ní Beteli, ó sì na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ jáde nínú pẹpẹ, ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ mú un!” ṣùgbọ́n ọwọ́ rẹ̀ tí ó nà sí i sì kákò, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì le fà á padà mọ́.
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 Lẹ́sẹ̀kan náà, pẹpẹ ya, eérú náà sì dànù kúrò lórí pẹpẹ náà gẹ́gẹ́ bí àmì tí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ti fi fún un nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
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 Nígbà náà ní ọba sì wí fún ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà pé, “Bẹ̀bẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, kí o sì gbàdúrà fún mi kí ọwọ́ mi lè padà bọ̀ sípò.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà bẹ̀bẹ̀ lọ́dọ̀ Olúwa, ọwọ́ ọba sì padà bọ̀ sípò, ó sì padà sí bí ó ti wà tẹ́lẹ̀.
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 Ọba sì wí fún ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà pé, “Wá bá mi lọ ilé, kí o sì wá nǹkan jẹ, èmi yóò sì fi ẹ̀bùn fún ọ.”
Then spake the king unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, —and let me give thee a present.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà dá ọba lóhùn pé, “Bí ìwọ yóò bá tilẹ̀ fún mi ní ìdajì ìní rẹ, èmi kì yóò lọ pẹ̀lú rẹ tàbí kí èmi jẹ oúnjẹ tàbí mu omi ní ibí yìí.
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 Nítorí a ti pa á láṣẹ fún mi nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa wí pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ oúnjẹ tàbí mu omi tàbí padà ní ọ̀nà náà tí o gbà wá.’”
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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó gba ọ̀nà mìíràn, kò sì padà gba ọ̀nà tí ó gbà wá sí Beteli.
So he departed another way, —and went not back by the way by which he came unto Bethel.
11 Wòlíì àgbà kan wà tí ń gbé Beteli, ẹni tí àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ dé, tí ó sì ròyìn gbogbo ohun tí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà ti ṣe ní Beteli ní ọjọ́ náà fún un. Wọ́n sì tún sọ fún baba wọn ohun tí ó sọ fún ọba.
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 Baba wọn sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Ọ̀nà wo ni ó gbà?” Àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ sì fi ọ̀nà tí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run láti Juda gbà hàn án.
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 Nígbà náà ni ó wí fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ní gàárì fún mi.” Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ti di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ní gàárì fún un tán, ó sì gùn ún.
So he said unto his sons, Saddle for me, the ass. And they saddled for him the ass, and he rode thereon;
14 Ó sì tẹ̀lé ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà lẹ́yìn. Ó sì rí i tí ó jókòó lábẹ́ igi óákù kan, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ni ènìyàn Ọlọ́run tí ó ti Juda wá bí?” Ó sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi ni.”
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 Nígbà náà ni wòlíì náà sì wí fún un pé, “Bá mi lọ ilé, kí o sì jẹun.”
Then said he unto him, Come home with me, —and eat bread.
16 Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà sì wí pé, “Èmi kò le padà sẹ́yìn tàbí bá ọ lọ ilé, tàbí kí èmi kí ó jẹ oúnjẹ tàbí mu omi pẹ̀lú rẹ níhìn-ín.
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 A ti sọ fún mi nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa pé, ‘Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ oúnjẹ tàbí mu omi níhìn-ín tàbí kí o padà lọ nípa ọ̀nà tí ìwọ bá wá.’”
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 Wòlíì àgbà náà sì wí fún un pé, “Wòlíì ni èmi náà pẹ̀lú, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ. Angẹli sì sọ fún mi nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa pé, ‘Mú un padà wá sí ilé rẹ, kí ó lè jẹ oúnjẹ àti kí ó lè mu omi.’” (Ṣùgbọ́n ó purọ́ fún un ni.)
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 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà sì padà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, ó sì jẹ oúnjẹ ó sì mu omi ní ilé rẹ̀.
So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
20 Bí wọ́n sì ti jókòó ti tábìlì, ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sì tọ wòlíì tí ó mú un padà wá pé;
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 Ó sì kígbe sí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run tí ó ti Juda wá wí pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: ‘Ìwọ ti ba ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa jẹ́, ìwọ kò sì pa àṣẹ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ fi fún ọ mọ́.
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 Ìwọ padà, ìwọ sì ti jẹ oúnjẹ, ìwọ sì ti mu omi níbi tí ó ti sọ fún ọ pé kí ìwọ kí ó má ṣe jẹ oúnjẹ tàbí mu omi. Nítorí náà, a kì yóò sin òkú rẹ sínú ibojì àwọn baba rẹ.’”
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 Nígbà tí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run sì ti jẹun tán àti mu omi tan, wòlíì tí ó ti mú u padà sì di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ní gàárì fún un.
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 Bí ó sì ti ń lọ ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀, kìnnìún kan pàdé rẹ̀ ní ọ̀nà, ó sì pa á, a sì gbé òkú rẹ̀ sọ sí ojú ọ̀nà, pẹ̀lú kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ àti kìnnìún tí ó dúró tì í lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́.
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 Àwọn ènìyàn tí ó ń kọjá sì rí pé ó gbé òkú náà sọ sí ojú ọ̀nà, kìnnìún náà sì dúró ti òkú náà; wọ́n sì wá, wọ́n sì sọ ọ́ ní ìlú tí wòlíì àgbà náà ń gbé.
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 Nígbà tí wòlíì tí ó mú un padà wá láti ọ̀nà rẹ̀ sì gbọ́ èyí, ó sì wí pé, “Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà ni tí ó ba ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa jẹ́. Olúwa sì ti fi lé kìnnìún lọ́wọ́, tí ó sì fà á ya, tí ó sì pa á, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa tí ó ti kìlọ̀ fún un.”
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 Wòlíì náà sì wí fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ di kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ní gàárì fún mi,” wọ́n sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
And he spake unto his sons, saying, Saddle for me the ass. And they saddled it.
28 Nígbà náà ni ó sì jáde lọ, ó sì rí òkú náà tí a gbé sọ sí ojú ọ̀nà, pẹ̀lú kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ àti kìnnìún tí ó dúró lẹ́gbẹ̀ẹ́ rẹ̀. Kìnnìún náà kò sì jẹ òkú náà, tàbí fa kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ náà ya.
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 Nígbà náà ni wòlíì náà gbé òkú ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà, ó sì gbé e lé orí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, ó sì gbé e padà wá sí ìlú ara rẹ̀ láti ṣọ̀fọ̀ fún un àti láti sin ín.
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 Nígbà náà ni ó gbé òkú náà sínú ibojì ara rẹ̀, wọ́n sì ṣọ̀fọ̀ lórí rẹ̀, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ó ṣe, arákùnrin mi!”
And he laid his dead body in his own grave, —and they lamented over him, [saying] —Alas, my brother!
31 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti sìnkú rẹ̀ tán, ó sì wí fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ pé, “Nígbà tí mo bá kú, ẹ sin mí ní ibojì níbi tí a sin ènìyàn Ọlọ́run sí; ẹ tẹ́ egungun mi lẹ́bàá egungun rẹ̀.
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 Nítorí iṣẹ́ tí ó jẹ́ nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa sí pẹpẹ tí ó wà ní Beteli àti sí gbogbo ojúbọ lórí ibi gíga tí ń bẹ ní àwọn ìlú Samaria yóò wá sí ìmúṣẹ dájúdájú.”
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 Lẹ́yìn nǹkan yìí, Jeroboamu kò padà kúrò nínú ọ̀nà búburú rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n ó tún yan àwọn àlùfáà sí i fún àwọn ibi gíga nínú gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn. Ẹnikẹ́ni tí ó bá fẹ́ di àlùfáà, a yà á sọ́tọ̀ fún ibi gíga wọ̀nyí.
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 Èyí sì ni ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ilé Jeroboamu, èyí tí ó yọrí sí ìṣubú rẹ̀, a sì pa á run kúrò lórí ilẹ̀.
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.
