¹Behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of Yahweh to Beth El: and Jeroboam was standing 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.

²He cried against the altar by the word of Yahweh, and said, “Altar, altar, thus says Yahweh: ‘Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. On you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men’s bones on you.’”

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.

³He gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which Yahweh has spoken: Behold, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will 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.

⁴It happened, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!” His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again to himself.

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 split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of Yahweh.

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.

⁶The king answered the man of God, “Now entreat the favor of Yahweh your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again.” The man of God entreated Yahweh, 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.

⁷The king said to the man of God, “Come home with me, and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”

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

⁸The man of God said to the king, “Even if you gave me half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither would 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 commanded me by the word of Yahweh, saying, ‘You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that you came.’”

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 didn’t return 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 lived an old prophet in Bethel; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.

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.

¹²Their father said to them, “Which way did he go?” Now his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who 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.

¹³He said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it.

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

¹⁴He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. He said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” 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 to him, “Come home with me, and eat bread.”

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

¹⁶He said, “I may not return with you, nor go in with you; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with you 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 Yahweh, ‘You shall eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that you came.’”

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 to him, “I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the word of Yahweh, saying, ‘Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’” He lied to 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 ate bread in his house, and drank water.

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

²⁰It happened, as they sat at the table, that the word of Yahweh came to the prophet who brought him back;

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

²¹and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Because you have been disobedient to the mouth of Yahweh, and have not kept the commandment which Yahweh your God commanded you,

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 came back, and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, “Eat no bread, and drink no water”; your body shall not come to the tomb of your 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!

²³It happened, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey 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.

²⁴When he had gone, a lion met him by the way, and killed him. His body was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood by the body.

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.

²⁵Behold, men passed by, and saw the body cast in the way, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.

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.

²⁶When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, “It is the man of God who was disobedient to the mouth of Yahweh. Therefore Yahweh has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to the word of Yahweh, which he spoke to 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.

²⁷He spoke to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me.” They saddled it.

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

²⁸He went and found his body cast in the way, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body, nor mauled the donkey.

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

²⁹The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. He came to the city of the old prophet 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.

³⁰He laid his body 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!

³¹It happened, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, “When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb in which 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 Yahweh against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely happen.”

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 didn’t return from his evil way, but again made priests of the high places from among all the people. Whoever wanted to, he consecrated him, that there might be 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.

³⁴This thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the surface of the earth.

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