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

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;

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.

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.`

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.

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.`

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.

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.`

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.

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;

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.

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.`

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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].`

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

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

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

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,

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!

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.`

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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,

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,

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!

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.`

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

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.`

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

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

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

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.

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.

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,

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

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

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.

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;

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.

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.`

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.

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.

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

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.
