1 Reis 13

Tētahi Tangata a te Atua mai Hūrā

1 Nā, ka tae mai tētahi tangata a te Atua i Hūrā ki Pētēre, he mea kī nā Ihowā; ā, i te tū a Ieropoama i taha o te āta, e tahu whakakakara ana. 2 Nā, karangatia ana e ia tā Ihowā kupu ki te āta; i mea ia: "E te āta nā, e te āta nā, ko tā Ihowā kupu tēnei: ‘Nanā, tērā e whānau tētahi tamaiti o te whare o Rāwiri, ko Hōhia tōna; ingoa, ā, ka tāpaea e ia ki runga ki a koe ngā tohunga o ngā wāhi tiketike tahu whakakakara nei ki runga ki a koe; ā, ka tahuna he wheua tāngata ki runga ki a koe.’ " 3 I hoatu anō e ia he tohu i taua rā, i mea, "Ko te tohu tēnei i kōrerotia e Ihowā: ‘Nanā, ka kōara te āta, ā, ka maringi ngā pungarehu o runga.’ "

4 Ā, nō te rongonga o te kīngi i te kupu a te tangata a te Atua i karangatia nei e ia ki te āta i Pētēre, ka totoro te ringa o Ieropoama i te āta ka mea ia, "Hopukia ia." Nā, memenge ake tōna ringa i totoro nei ki a ia, kīhai hoki i taea te whakahoki mai ki a ia. 5 Nā, kua kōara te āta; maringi ake ngā pungarehu i runga i te āta, i rite tonu ki te tohu i hōmai e te tangata a te Atua, ki tā Ihowā i kōrero ai.

6 Nā, ka oho te kīngi, ka mea ki te tangata a te Atua, "Tēnā rā, karanga atu ki te aroaro o Ihowā, o tōu Atua, ka īnoi mōku, kia whakahokia mai tōku ringa ki ahau." Nā, ka karanga te tangata a te Atua ki te aroaro o Ihowā, ā, ka whakahokia te ringa o te kīngi ki a ia ka pērā me tō mua.

7 Nā, ka mea te kīngi ki te tangata a te Atua, "Haere mai tāua ki te whare ki tētahi oranga mōu, kia hoatu hoki e ahau tētahi mea ki a koe."

8 Nā, ka mea te tangata a te Atua ki te kīngi, "Ahakoa i hōmai e koe ko te hāwhe o tōu whare, e kore ahau e haere tāua, e kore anō e kai taro, e inu wai ki tēnei wāhi. 9 Ko te ako hoki tēnei ki ahau, ko tā Ihowā hoki i kōrero ai; i mea ai: ‘Kei kai taro, kei inu wai; kaua anō e hoki mai nā te ara e haere atu ai koe.’ " 10 Nā, haere ana ia he ara kē, kīhai i hoki nā te ara i haere mai nei ia ki Pētēre.

Te Poropiti Koroheke nō Pētēre

11 Nā, i Pētēre tētahi poropiti e noho ana, he koroheke; ā, ka haere mai tētahi o āna tama, ka kōrerotia ki a ia ngā mea katoa i mea ai te tangata a te Atua i taua rā ki Pētēre; i kōrerotia anō e rātou ki tō rātou pāpā ngā kupu i kōrero ai ia ki te kīngi. 12 Nā, ka mea tō rātou pāpā ki a rātou, "Tēnā koa te ara i haere ai ia?" I kite hoki āna tama i te ara i haere atu ai te tangata a te Atua i haere mai nei i Hūrā. 13 Nā, ka mea ia ki āna tama, "Whakanohoia taku kāihe." Nā, whakanohoia ana tana kāihe e rātou, ā, eke ana ia ki runga. 14 Nā, whāia ana e ia te tangata a te Atua, mau rawa atu e noho ana i raro i tētahi oki; ā, ka mea ki a ia, "Ko koe ianei te tangata a te Atua i haere mai nei i Hūrā?"

Anō rā ko tērā, "Āe, ko ahau."

15 Kātahi ka mea ia ki a ia, "Haere mai tāua ki te whare ki te kai taro māu."

16 Anō rā ko ia, "E kore e āhei kia hoki tāua, kia haere tāua; e kore anō tāua e kai taro, e inu wai rānei ki tēnei wāhi. 17 Kua kōrerotia mai hoki tā Ihowā kupu ki ahau: ‘Kei kai taro, kei inu wai ki reira, kei anga, kei haere mai nā te ara ka haere atu nei koe.’ "

18 Nā, ka mea tērā ki a ia, "He poropiti anō ahau, he pēnā me koe; kua kōrerotia mai anō ki ahau te kupu a Ihowā e tētahi anahera, i kī mai ia: ‘Whakahokia ia ki a koe, ki tōu whare ki te kai taro māna, ki te inu wai.’ " He teka ia nāna ki a ia. 19 Heoi, hoki ana ia i a ia, ā, kai taro ana i roto i tōna whare, inu wai ana.

20 Nā, i a rāua e noho ana ki te tēpu, ko te putanga mai o te kupu a Ihowā ki te poropiti nāna nei ia i whakahoki; 21 ā, ka karanga ia ki te tangata a te Atua i haere mai nei i Hūrā, ka mea, "Ko tā Ihowā kupu tēnei: ‘Nā, kua tutū nei koe ki te māngai o Ihowā, ā, kāhore i mau i a koe te ako i ako ai a Ihowā, tōu Atua ki a koe. 22 Heoi, hoki mai ana koe, kai taro ana, inu wai ana ki te wāhi i kōrero ai ia ki a koe, "Kei kai taro, kei inu wai, e kore e tae tōu tinana ki te urupā o ōu mātua." ’ "

23 Ā, ka mutu tāna kai taro, ka mutu tāna inu, nā, ka whakanohoia e ia te kāihe mōna, arā mō te poropiti i whakahokia mai nei e ia. 24 Nā, i tōna haerenga, ka tūtaki tētahi raiona ki a ia, ka whakamate i a ia; ā, ko tōna tinana i ākiritia ki te ara, me te kāihe ki tōna taha tū ai; ko te raiona anō hoki i tū i te taha o te tinana.

25 Nā, ka haere mai ngā tāngata, ka kite i te tinana i ākiritia rā ki te ara, me te raiona e tū ana i te taha o te tinana. Ka haere, ka kōrero i taua mea i te pā i noho ai te poropiti koroheke.

26 Ā, nō te rongonga o taua poropiti, nāna nei ia i whakahoki mai i te ara, ka mea ia, "Ko te tangata tēnā a te Atua kīhai nei i whakarongo ki te māngai o Ihowā, ā, hoatu ana ia e Ihowā ki te raiona, ā, haea iho e ia, whakamatea iho; ko tā Ihowā kupu hoki tēnā i kōrero ai ki a ia."

27 Nā, ka kōrero ia ki āna tama, ka mea, "Whakanohoia taku kāihe." Ā, whakanohoia ana e rātou. 28 Nā, haere ana ia, ā, rokohanga atu ko te tinana, he mea ākiri ki te ara, me te kāihe rāua ko te raiona e tū ana i te taha o te tinana; kīhai te tinana i kainga e te raiona, kīhai anō te kāihe i haea. 29 Nā, hāpainga ana te tinana o te tangata a te Atua e te poropiti, ā, whakatakotoria ana ki runga ki te kāihe, whakahokia ana; haere ana ki te pā o te poropiti koroheke ki te tangi, ki te tanu i a ia. 30 Nā, whakatakotoria ana e ia tōna tinana ki roto ki tōna ake urupā; ā, ko tā rātou tangi mōna, "Auē, e tōku teina."

31 Ā, ka mutu tāna tanu i a ia, ka kōrero ia ki āna tama, ka mea, "Kia mate ahau, tanumia ahau ki roto ki te urupā tanumia ai te tangata a te Atua; hei te taha o ōna wheua whakatakoto ai ōku wheua. 32 Nō te mea tērā e tino rite tā Ihowā kōrero i karangatia e ia mō tēnei āta i Pētēre, mō ngā whare katoa hoki o ngā wāhi tiketike i ngā pā o Hamaria."

33 I muri i tēnei kīhai a Ieropoama tahuri i tōna ara kino; engari i tahuri anō ki te mea tohunga nō roto noa iho i te iwi katoa mō ngā wāhi tiketike. Ahakoa ko wai i hiahia, kua whakatohungatia e ia, kia whai tohunga ai mō ngā wāhi tiketike. 34 Nā, meinga ana tēnei mea hei hara mō te whare o Ieropoama, hei mea e hunā ai, e whakamōtītia rawatia ai i te mata o te whenua.

1 And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of Jehovah unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense. 2 And he cried against the altar by the word of Jehovah, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith Jehovah: Behold, a son shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men’s bones shall they burn upon thee. 3 And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which Jehovah hath spoken: Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out. 4 And it came to pass, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Beth-el, that Jeroboam 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 draw it back again to him. 5 The 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 Jehovah. 6 And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Entreat now the favor of Jehovah thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God entreated Jehovah, and the king’s hand was restored him again, and became as it was before. 7 And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward. 8 And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thy house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place; 9 for so was it charged me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou shalt eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that thou camest. 10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el.

11 Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them also they told unto their father. 12 And their father said unto them, What way went he? Now his sons had seen what way the man of God went, that came from Judah. 13 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass; and he rode thereon. 14 And he 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. 15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread. 16 And 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: 17 for it was said to me by the word of Jehovah, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest. 18 And he said unto him, I also am a prophet as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him. 19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.

20 And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of Jehovah came unto the prophet that brought him back; 21 and he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou hast been disobedient unto the mouth of Jehovah, and hast not kept the commandment which Jehovah thy God commanded thee, 22 but camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy body shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers. 23 And 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. 24 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his body was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it; the lion also stood by the body. 25 And, behold, 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 dwelt.

26 And 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 mouth of Jehovah: therefore Jehovah hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake unto him. 27 And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled it. 28 And he went and found his body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the body: the lion had not eaten the body, nor torn the ass. 29 And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back; and he came to the city of the old prophet, to mourn, and to bury him. 30 And he laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother! 31 And 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. 32 For the saying which he cried by the word of Jehovah against the altar in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.

33 After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again from among all the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of the high places. 34 And 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.
