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.

¹A glej, mož Božji pride z Judovega po besedi GOSPODOVI v Betel, in Jeroboam stoji pri oltarju, da zažge kadilo.

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.

²In zakliče zoper oltar po besedi GOSPODOVI in reče: Oltar, oltar, tako pravi GOSPOD: Glej, sin se bo rodil hiši Davidovi, po imenu Josija, in na tebi bo daroval duhovnike višav, ki žgo kadilo na tebi, in človeške kosti bodo palili na tebi.

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.

³In dal je tisti dan znamenje, rekoč: To je znamenje, da je govoril GOSPOD: Glej, oltar se razpoči in pepel, ki je na njem, se razsuje.

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.

⁴In ko zasliši kralj besedo moža Božjega, ki jo je vzkliknil zoper oltar v Betelu, iztegne Jeroboam roko svojo od oltarja pa veli: Primite ga! A roka njegova, ki jo je iztegnil zoper njega, je usehnila, da je ni mogel zopet potegniti k sebi.

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.

⁵Oltar se je tudi razpočil in pepel se je razsul z oltarja natančno po znamenju, ki ga je bil dal mož Božji po besedi GOSPODOVI.

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.

⁶In kralj izpregovori ter reče možu Božjemu: Poprosi, prosim, blagovoljnosti GOSPODA, Boga svojega, in moli zame, da se mi zopet povrne roka moja. Nato zaprosi mož Božji blagovoljnosti GOSPODOVE, in kralju se je roka povrnila in bila je zdrava kakor prej.

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

⁷Tedaj ogovori kralj moža Božjega: Pojdi z mano domov in se pokrepčaj, in dam ti darilo.

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:

⁸A mož Božji reče kralju: Ko bi mi dal polovico hiše svoje, ne pojdem s teboj, ker nočem jesti kruha, ne piti vode na tem mestu.

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.

⁹Zakaj tako mi je zapovedano po besedi GOSPODOVI, ki mi je velela: Ne jej ondi kruha in ne pij vode, tudi se ne vračaj po potu, po katerem si šel.

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

¹⁰In odšel je po drugem potu, da se ne vrne po tistem potu, po katerem je prišel v Betel.

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.

¹¹Neki star prorok pa je prebival v Betelu; k temu pridejo sinovi njegovi ter mu pripovedujejo vse, kar je storil mož Božji tisti dan v Betelu; tudi besede, ki jih je govoril kralju, povedo očetu svojemu.

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.

¹²In vpraša jih njih oče: Po katerem potu je odšel? In pokažejo mu sinovi njegovi pot, po katerem je odšel mož Božji, ki je bil prišel z Judovega.

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

¹³Nato veli sinovom svojim: Osedlajte mi osla! In ko so mu osedlali osla, je jezdeč na njem

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.

¹⁴šel za možem Božjim ter ga je zalotil sedečega pod hrastom in mu reče: Si li ti mož Božji, ki je prišel z Judovega? Odgovori: Sem.

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

¹⁵Tedaj mu reče: Pojdi z mano domov in zaužij kruha!

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:

¹⁶On pa reče: Ne smem se vrniti in s teboj iti, tudi nočem s teboj jesti kruha, ne piti vode na tem mestu;

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.

¹⁷zakaj bilo mi je rečeno po besedi GOSPODOVI: Ne jej ondi kruha in ne pij vode! po poti, po kateri si prišel, se zopet ne vračaj!

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.

¹⁸Ta mu pa reče: Tudi jaz sem prorok kakor ti in angel mi je govoril po besedi GOSPODOVI, veleč: Pelji ga nazaj s seboj v hišo svojo, da užije kruha in pije vode. To pa se mu je zlagal.

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

¹⁹Vrne se torej ž njim, da zaužije kruha in se napije vode v hiši njegovi.

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:

²⁰Ko sta pa sedela pri mizi, pride beseda GOSPODOVA proroku, ki ga je nazaj pripeljal,

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,

²¹in zavpije proti možu Božjemu, ki je prišel z Judovega, rekoč: Tako pravi GOSPOD: Ker si bil nepokoren ustom GOSPODOVIM in nisi izpolnil zapovedi, ki ti jo je zapovedal GOSPOD, Bog tvoj,

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.

²²temuč si se vrnil in jedel kruh in pil vodo na tem mestu, o katerem ti je velel: Ne jej ondi kruha in ne pij vode: zato ne pride truplo tvoje v očetov tvojih grob!

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.

²³In potem, ko je zaužil kruha in se napil, mu je osedlal osla, proroku, katerega je bil vrnil.

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.

²⁴In ko je šel, naleti nanj lev na poti ter ga usmrti; in truplo njegovo je ležalo na poti in osel je stal pri njem, lev pa je tudi stal poleg trupla.

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.

²⁵In glej, ljudje so šli mimo in videli truplo na tleh na poti in leva stoječega pri truplu, in pridejo ter oznanijo v mestu, kjer je prebival stari prorok.

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.

²⁶In ko to začuje prorok, ki ga je nazaj pripeljal s pota, reče: Mož Božji je, ki je bil nepokoren ustom GOSPODOVIM; zato ga je GOSPOD izročil levu, ki ga je raztrgal in usmrtil po besedi GOSPODOVI, ki mu jo je bil govoril.

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

²⁷In govori s sinovi svojimi in veli: Osedlajte mi osla! In osedlajo.

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.

²⁸In odide in najde truplo njegovo na poti ter osla in leva, stoječa pri truplu. Ni jedel lev trupla in ni strl osla.

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.

²⁹Tedaj vzdigne prorok truplo moža Božjega ter ga dene na osla in prinese nazaj, in pridejo v mesto starega proroka, da žalujejo in ga pokopljejo.

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

³⁰In on položi truplo njegovo v svoj grob, in žalujejo nad njim, govoreč: Gorje, moj brat!

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:

³¹In ko ga je pokopal, govori sinovom svojim in reče: Kadar umrjem, pokopljite me v grobu, v katerem je pokopan mož Božji; poleg njegovih kosti položite kosti moje.

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.

³²Zakaj gotovo se izpolni napoved, katero je po besedi GOSPODOVI klical zoper oltar v Betelu in zoper vse hiše višav, ki so po mestih Samarije.

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.

³³Ali po tej zgodbi se Jeroboam ni odvrnil s hudobne poti svoje, ampak je postavil še več duhovnikov višavam izmed vsake vrste ljudi: kdorkoli mu je ugajal, njega je posvetil, da bodi duhovnik višavam.In ta reč je postala v greh hiši Jeroboamovi, da je morala izginiti in biti potrebljena s površja zemlje.

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.

³⁴In ta reč je postala v greh hiši Jeroboamovi, da je morala izginiti in biti potrebljena s površja zemlje.
