¹And, 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.

¹[Ny nanirahan'Andriamanitra ilay mpaminany hananatra an'i Jeroboama noho ny nanaovany ireo sarin'ombilahy kely ireo, sy ny nanjo azy] Ary, indro, nisy lehilahin'Andriamanitra avy tany Joda tonga tany Betela noho ny tenin'i Jehovah, raha mbola nitsangana teo anilan'ny alitara handoro ditin-kazo manitra Jeroboama.

²And 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.

²Ary ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra niantso ny alitara araka ny tenin'i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Ry alitara ô, ry alitara ô! izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Indro, hisy zaza hateraka ho an'ny taranak'i Davida, Josia no ho anarany; ary hovonoiny ka hateriny eo amboninao ny mpisorona amin'ny fitoerana avo izay mandoro ditin-kazo manitra eo amboninao, ary taolan'olona no hodorana eo amboninao.

³And 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.

³Ary naneho fahagagana androtrizay izy nanao hoe: Izao no fahagagana izay nolazain'i Jehovah: Indro, hitresaka ny alitara, ka hikorotsaka ny lavenona izay eo amboniny.

⁴And 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.

⁴Ary nony ren'i Jeroboama mpanjaka ny tenin'ny lehilahin'Andriamanitra izay niantso ny alitara tao Betela, dia naninjitra ny tànany niala tamin'ny alitara izy ka nanao hoe: Hazony ilehio. Dia maty iny tànany nahinjiny nanondro azy iny ka tsy azony noketrahina intsony. [Heb. maina]

⁵The 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.

⁵Dia nitresaka koa ny alitara, ka nikorotsaka ny lavenona teo amboniny, araka ny fahagagana Izay nasehon'ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra noho ny tenin'i Jehovah.

⁶And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat 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.

⁶Ary ny mpanjaka namaly ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra nanao hoe: Mba ifony amin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao aho, ka mivavaha ho ahy, mba ho azoko ketrahina indray ny tanako. Ary ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra dia nifona tamin'i Jehovah, ka dia azon'ny mpanjaka noketrahina indray ny tànany ka tonga tahaka ny teo.

⁷And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.

⁷Ary hoy ny mpanjaka tamin'ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra: Andeha hiaraka amiko ho any an-trano ianao mba hanao ody am-bavafo kely, sady homeko zavatra ianao.

⁸And 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:

⁸Fa hoy ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra tamin'ny mpanjaka: Na dia homenao ahy aza ny antsasaky ny ao an-tranonao, tsy hiditra any an-tranonao, na hihinan-kanina, na hisotro rano atỳ aho;

⁹For 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.

⁹fa izao no tenin'i Jehovah nandrara ahy: Aza mihinan-kanina, na misotro rano, na miverina amin'izay lalana efa nalehanao.

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

¹⁰Dia nandeha tamin'ny lalana hafa izy, fa tsy niverina tamin'ilay nalehany ho any Betela.

¹¹Now 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.

¹¹Fa nisy mpaminany antitra anankiray tao Betela; ary tonga ny zanany ka nilaza taminy izay rehetra nataon'ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra androtr'iny tao Betela; ary nolazain'ireo tamin-drainy koa ny teny izay nolazain-dralehilahy tamin'ny mpanjaka.

¹²And 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.

¹²Ary hoy rainy taminy: Aiza no lalana nalehany ? Fa ny zanany efa nahita ny lalana nalehan'ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra izay tonga avy tany Joda.

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

¹³Ary hoy izy tamin'ny zanany: Asio lasely ny boriky hitaingenako. Dia nasiany lasely ny boriky hitaingenany, ka dia nitaingenany.

¹⁴And 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.

¹⁴Ary dia nanaraka ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra izy ka nahita azy nipetraka teo ambanin'ny hazo terebinta; ka hoy izy taminy: Hianao moa ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra avy tany Joda ? Ary hoy izy: Eny, izaho no izy.

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

¹⁵Dia hoy izy taminy: Andeha hiaraka amiko ho any an-tranoko mba hihinan-kanina.

¹⁶And 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:

¹⁶Fa hoy kosa izy: Tsy mahazo miverina hiaraka aminao aho na hiditra any an-tranonao, ary tsy hihinan-kanina na hisotro rano aminao atỳ aho,

¹⁷For 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.

¹⁷satria tonga tamiko ny tenin'i Jehovah hoe: Aza mihinan-kanina, na misotro rano any, ary aza miverina amin'ny lalana efa nalehanao.

¹⁸He 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.

¹⁸Fa hoy kosa izy taminy: Izaho koa mba mpaminany tahaka anao ihany; ary nisy anjely nilaza tamiko araka ny tenin'i Jehovah nanao hoe: Ento miverina hiaraka aminao ho any an-tranonao izy hihinan-kanina sy hisotro rano. Kanjo laingany izany.

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

¹⁹Dia niverina niaraka taminy izy ka nihinan-kanina sy nisotro rano tao an-tranony.

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

²⁰Ary raha mbola nipetraka teo amin'ny latabatra izy roa lahy, dia tonga tamin'ilay mpaminany nitondra azy niverina ny tenin'i Jehovah;

²¹And 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,

²¹ary izy niteny mafy tamin'ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra avy tany Joda hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: Satria nandà ny tenin'i Jehovah ianao ka tsy nitandrina ny didy izay nandidian'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao,

²²But 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 carcass shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.

²²fa niverina nihinan-kanina sy nisotro rano tany amin'ny tany izay nandraran'i Jehovah anao hoe: Aza mihinan-kanina na misotro rano, dia tsy ho tonga any am-pasan-drazanao ny fatinao.

²³And 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.

²³Ary rehefa avy nihinana sy nisotro izy, dia nasiany lasely ny boriky hitaingenan'ilay mpaminany naveriny.

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

²⁴Ary nony nandeha izy, dia nisy liona nifanena taminy teny andalana ka nahafaty azy; ary ny fatiny dia niampatra teo an-dalana, ary ny boriky nijanona teo anilany, ary ny liona koa nijanona teo anilan'ny faty.

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

²⁵Ary, indreo nisy olona nandalo ka nahita ny faty niampatra teo an-dalana sy ny liona nijanona teo anilan'ny faty, dia lasa nandeha ireo ka nilaza izany tany an-tanàna izay nitoeran'ilay mpaminany antitra.

²⁶And 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.

²⁶Ary nony nandre izany ilay mpaminany izay namerina azy tany an-dalana, dia hoy izy: Ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra nandà ny tenin'i Jehovah izay; fa natolotr'i Jehovah ny liona izy ka noviravirainy sy novonoiny araka ny tenin'i Jehovah, izay efa nolazainy taminy.

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

²⁷Ary izy niteny tamin'ny zananilahy hoe: Asio lasely ny boriky hitaingenako. Dia nasiany lasely izy.

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

²⁸Ary nony nandeha izy, dia nahita ny fatin-dralehilahy niampatra teo an-dalana, ary ny boriky sy ny liona samy nijanona teo anilan'ny faty; nefa ny liona tsy nihinana ny faty na namiravira ny boriky.

²⁹And the prophet took up the carcass 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.

²⁹Ary nobetain'ilay mpaminany ny fatin'ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra ka nasampiny tamin'ny boriky, dia nentiny niverina; ary tonga tao an-tanàna ilay mpaminany antitra mba hisaona sy handevina azy.

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

³⁰Ary ny fatin-dralehilahy naleviny tao am-pasany, dia nitomanian'ny olona hoe: Indrisy, ry rahalahiko!

³¹And 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:

³¹Ary rehefa voaleviny ralehilahy, dia hoy izy tamin'ny zanany: Rehefa maty aho, dia mba aleveno ao amin'ny fasana izay ilevenan'ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra, ka ataovy eo anilan'ny taolany ny taolako;

³²For 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.

³²fa tsy maintsy ho tanteraka ilay teny nantsoiny noho ny tenin'i Jehovah nilaza ny loza ho tonga amin'ny alitara ao Betela sy amin'ny trano rehetra eny amin'ny fitoerana avo izay any an-tanànan'i Samaria.

³³After 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.

³³Rehefa afaka izany, Jeroboama dia tsy mbola niala tamin'ny lalan-dratsiny ihany, fa mbola naka tamin'ny ankabiazam-bahoaka ho mpisorona amin'ny fitoerana avo; koa na iza na iza tia izany dia natokany, mba ho tonga mpisorona amin'ny fitoerana avo. [Heb. nofenoiny ny tànany]Ary dia tonga fahotan'ny taranak'i Jeroboama izany ka namongorana sy nandringanana azy tsy ho eo ambonin'ny tany.

³⁴And 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.

³⁴Ary dia tonga fahotan'ny taranak'i Jeroboama izany ka namongorana sy nandringanana azy tsy ho eo ambonin'ny tany.
