Ninkii Ilaah Oo Ka Yimid Yahuudah

13 Markaasaa waxaa Yahuudah ka yimid nin Ilaah oo Eraygii Rabbiga ku yimid Beytel; oo Yaaraabcaamna wuxuu ag taagnaa meeshii allabariga inuu foox shido aawadeed. 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. 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. 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. Oo meeshii allabariguna way kala dillaacday, oo dambaskiina wuu ka soo daatay meeshii allabariga, sidii calaamaddii uu ninka Ilaah bixiyey ee Rabbigu ku amray. 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. Dabadeedna boqorkii wuxuu ninkii Ilaah ku yidhi, Kaalay, guriga ii raac, oo isqabooji, oo anna waan kuu abaalgudayaa. 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; 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. 10 Oo sidaas daraaddeed jid kaluu maray, dib umana uu sii qaadin jidkii uu Beytel u soo maray. 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. 12 Markaasaa aabbahood ku yidhi, Jidkee buu qaaday? Oo wiilashiisuna way arkeen jidkii ninkii Ilaah oo Yahuudah ka yimid qaaday. 13 Markaasuu wiilashiisii ku yidhi, War dameerka ii kooreeya. Dameerkiina way u kooreeyeen oo isna wuu fuulay. 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. 15 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Kaalay oo gurigaygii ii raac aad kibis soo cuntide. 16 Isna wuxuu yidhi, Kari maayo inaan kula noqdo iyo inaan gurigaaga galo toona. Halkan innaba kibis kugula cuni maayo, biyona kugula cabbi maayo. 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. 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. 19 Sidaas daraaddeed wuu la noqday, oo gurigiisii buu kibis ka cunay, biyona ka cabbay. 20 Markaasaa intay miiska wada fadhiyeen uu eraygii Rabbigu u yimid nebigii soo celiyey. 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, 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. 23 Oo markuu kibis cunay oo biyo cabbay dabadeed ayuu dameerkiisii u kooreeyey nebigii uu soo celiyey. 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. 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. 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. 27 Markaasuu wiilashiisii la hadlay oo ku yidhi, War dameerka ii kooreeya. Oo iyana way u kooreeyeen. 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. 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. 30 Oo xabaashiisii uu isagu lahaa ayuu meydkiisii geliyey, wayna u baroorteen, oo yidhaahdeen, Hoognay, walaalkayow! 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. 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.

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. 34 Oo taasuna dembi bay u noqotay reer Yaaraabcaam iyo xataa inay gooyso oo dhulka ka baabbi'iso.

The Man of God From Judah

13 By the word of the Lord a man of God(A) came from Judah to Bethel,(B) as Jeroboam was standing by the altar to make an offering. By the word of the Lord he cried out against the altar: “Altar, altar! This is what the Lord says: ‘A son named Josiah(C) will be born to the house of David. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places(D) who make offerings here, and human bones will be burned on you.’” That same day the man of God gave a sign:(E) “This is the sign the Lord has declared: The altar will be split apart and the ashes on it will be poured out.”

When King Jeroboam heard what the man of God cried out against the altar at Bethel, he stretched out his hand from the altar and said, “Seize him!” But the hand he stretched out toward the man shriveled up, so that he could not pull it back. Also, the altar was split apart and its ashes poured out according to the sign given by the man of God by the word of the Lord.

Then the king said to the man of God, “Intercede(F) with the Lord your God and pray for me that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God interceded with the Lord, and the king’s hand was restored and became as it was before.

The king said to the man of God, “Come home with me for a meal, and I will give you a gift.”(G)

But the man of God answered the king, “Even if you were to give me half your possessions,(H) I would not go with you, nor would I eat bread(I) or drink water here. For I was commanded by the word of the Lord: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water or return by the way you came.’” 10 So he took another road and did not return by the way he had come to Bethel.

11 Now there was a certain old prophet living in Bethel, whose sons came and told him all that the man of God had done there that day. They also told their father what he had said to the king. 12 Their father asked them, “Which way did he go?” And his sons showed him which road the man of God from Judah had taken. 13 So he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” And when they had saddled the donkey for him, he mounted it 14 and rode after the man of God. He found him sitting under an oak tree and asked, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?”

“I am,” he replied.

15 So the prophet said to him, “Come home with me and eat.”

16 The man of God said, “I cannot turn back and go with you, nor can I eat bread(J) or drink water with you in this place. 17 I have been told by the word of the Lord: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way you came.’”

18 The old prophet answered, “I too am a prophet, as you are. And an angel said to me by the word of the Lord:(K) ‘Bring him back with you to your house so that he may eat bread and drink water.’” (But he was lying(L) to him.) 19 So the man of God returned with him and ate and drank in his house.

20 While they were sitting at the table, the word of the Lord came to the old prophet who had brought him back. 21 He cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the Lord says: ‘You have defied(M) the word of the Lord and have not kept the command the Lord your God gave you. 22 You came back and ate bread and drank water in the place where he told you not to eat or drink. Therefore your body will not be buried in the tomb of your ancestors.’”

23 When the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the prophet who had brought him back saddled his donkey for him. 24 As he went on his way, a lion(N) met him on the road and killed him, and his body was left lying on the road, with both the donkey and the lion standing beside it. 25 Some people who passed by saw the body lying there, with the lion standing beside the body, and they went and reported it in the city where the old prophet lived.

26 When the prophet who had brought him back from his journey heard of it, he said, “It is the man of God who defied(O) the word of the Lord. The Lord has given him over to the lion, which has mauled him and killed him, as the word of the Lord had warned him.”

27 The prophet said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me,” and they did so. 28 Then he went out and found the body lying on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had neither eaten the body nor mauled the donkey. 29 So the prophet picked up the body of the man of God, laid it on the donkey, and brought it back to his own city to mourn for him and bury him. 30 Then he laid the body in his own tomb,(P) and they mourned over him and said, “Alas, my brother!”(Q)

31 After burying him, he said to his sons, “When I die, bury me in the grave where the man of God is buried; lay my bones(R) beside his bones. 32 For the message he declared by the word of the Lord against the altar in Bethel and against all the shrines on the high places(S) in the towns of Samaria(T) will certainly come true.”(U)

33 Even after this, Jeroboam did not change his evil ways,(V) but once more appointed priests for the high places from all sorts(W) of people. Anyone who wanted to become a priest he consecrated for the high places. 34 This was the sin(X) of the house of Jeroboam that led to its downfall and to its destruction(Y) from the face of the earth.

13 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.

And he cried against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.

And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the Lord hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.

And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.

The altar also 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 the Lord.

And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the Lord, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.

And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.

And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:

For so was it charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.

10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.

11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.

12 And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.

13 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,

14 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 that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.

15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.

16 And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:

17 For it was said to me by the word of the Lord, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.

18 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.

19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.

20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the Lord came unto the prophet that brought him back:

21 And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God commanded thee,

22 But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.

23 And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.

24 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.

25 And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.

26 And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the Lord: therefore the Lord hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake unto him.

27 And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.

28 And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass.

29 And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.

30 And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!

31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:

32 For the saying which he cried by the word of the Lord against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.

33 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.

34 And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
