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.

¹And lo, a man of God hath come from Judah, by the word of Jehovah, unto Beth-El, and Jeroboam is standing by the altar — to make perfume;

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.

²and he calleth against the altar, by the word of Jehovah, and saith, `Altar! altar! thus said Jehovah, Lo, a son is born to the house of David — Josiah his name — and he hath sacrificed on thee the priests of the high places who are making perfume on thee, and bones of man are burnt on thee.`

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.

³And he hath given on that day a sign, saying, `This [is] the sign that Jehovah hath spoken, Lo, the altar is rent, and the ashes poured forth that [are] on it.`

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]

⁴And it cometh to pass, at the king`s hearing the word of the man of God that he calleth against the altar in Beth-El, that Jeroboam putteth forth his hand from off the altar, saying, `Catch him;` and his hand is dried up that he hath put forth against him, and he is not able to bring it back unto him,

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

⁵and the altar is rent, and the ashes poured forth from the altar, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of Jehovah.

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.

⁶And the king answereth and saith unto the man of God, `Appease, I pray thee, the face of Jehovah thy God, and pray for me, and my hand doth come back unto me;` and the man of God appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and the hand of the king cometh back unto him, and it is as at the beginning.

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.

⁷And the king speaketh unto the man of God, `Come in with me to the house, and refresh thyself, and I give to thee a gift.`

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;

⁸And the man of God saith unto the king, `If thou dost give to me the half of thine house, I do not go in with thee, nor do I eat bread, nor do I drink water, in this place;

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

⁹for so He commanded me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou dost not eat bread nor drink water, nor turn back in the way that thou hast come.`

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

¹⁰And he goeth on in another way, and hath not turned back in the way in which he came in unto Beth-El.

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.

¹¹And a certain aged prophet is dwelling in Beth-El, and his son cometh and recounteth to him all the deed that the man of God hath done to-day in Beth-El, the words that he hath spoken unto the king, — yea, they recount them to their father.

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

¹²And their father saith unto them, `Where [is] this — the way he hath gone?` and his sons see the way that the man of God hath gone who came from Judah.

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

¹³And he saith unto his sons, `Saddle for me the ass,` and they saddle for him the ass, and he rideth on it,

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.

¹⁴and goeth after the man of God, and findeth him sitting under the oak, and saith unto him, `Art thou the man of God who hast come from Judah?` and he saith, `I [am].`

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

¹⁵And he saith unto him, `Come with me to the house, and eat bread.`

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,

¹⁶And he saith, `I am not able to turn back with thee, and to go in with thee, nor do I eat bread or drink with thee water in this place,

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

¹⁷for a word [is] unto me by the word of Jehovah, Thou dost not eat bread nor drink there water, thou dost not turn back to go in the way in which thou camest.`

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.

¹⁸And he saith to him, `I also [am] a prophet like thee, and a messenger spake unto me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Bring him back with thee unto thy house, and he doth eat bread and drink water;` — he hath lied to him.

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

¹⁹And he turneth back with him, and eateth bread in his house, and drinketh water.

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

²⁰And it cometh to pass — they are sitting at the table — and a word of Jehovah is unto the prophet who brought him back,

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,

²¹and he calleth unto the man of God who came from Judah, saying, `Thus said Jehovah, Because that thou hast provoked the mouth of Jehovah, and hast not kept the command that Jehovah thy God charged thee,

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.

²²and turnest back and dost eat bread and drink water in the place of which He said unto thee, Thou dost not eat bread nor drink water — thy carcase cometh not in unto the burying-place of thy fathers.`

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

²³And it cometh to pass, after his eating bread, and after his drinking, that he saddleth for him the ass, for the prophet whom he had brought back,

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.

²⁴and he goeth, and a lion findeth him in the way, and putteth him to death, and his carcase is cast in the way, and the ass is standing near it, and the lion is standing near the carcase.

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.

²⁵And lo, men are passing by, and see the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing near the carcase, and they come and speak [of it] in the city in which the old prophet is dwelling.

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.

²⁶And the prophet who brought him back out of the way heareth and saith, `It [is] the man of God who provoked the mouth of Jehovah, and Jehovah giveth him to the lion, and it destroyeth him, and putteth him to death, according to the word of Jehovah that he spake to him.`

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

²⁷And he speaketh unto his sons saying, `Saddle for me the ass,` and they saddle [it].

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.

²⁸And he goeth and findeth his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion are standing near the carcase — the lion hath not eaten the carcase nor destroyed the ass.

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.

²⁹And the prophet taketh up the carcase of the man of God, and placeth it on the ass, and bringeth it back, and the old prophet cometh in unto the city to mourn and to bury him,

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

³⁰and he placeth his carcase in his own grave, and they mourn for him, `Oh, my brother!`

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;

³¹And it cometh to pass, after his burying him, that he speaketh unto his sons, saying, `At my death — ye have buried me in the burying-place in which the man of God is buried; near his bones place my bones;

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.

³²for the word certainly cometh to pass that he called by the word of Jehovah concerning the altar which [is] Beth-El, and concerning all the houses of the high places that [are] in cities of Samaria.`

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.

³³After this thing Jeroboam hath not turned from his evil way, and turneth back, and maketh of the extremities of the people priests of high places; he who is desirous he consecrateth his hand, and he is of the priests of the high places.

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

³⁴And in this thing is the sin of the house of Jeroboam, even to cut [it] off, and to destroy [it] from off the face of the ground.
