1 Kings 13
1 Suddenly, as Jeroboam was standing beside the altar to burn incense, there came a man of God from Judah to Bethel by the word of the LORD.
et ecce vir Dei venit de Iuda in sermone Domini in Bethel Hieroboam stante super altare et tus iaciente
2 And he cried out against the altar by the word of the LORD, “O altar, O altar, this is what the LORD says: ‘A son named Josiah will be born to the house of David, and upon you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense upon you, and human bones will be burned upon you.’”
et exclamavit contra altare in sermone Domini et ait altare altare haec dicit Dominus ecce filius nascetur domui David Iosias nomine et immolabit super te sacerdotes excelsorum qui nunc in te tura succendunt et ossa hominum incendet super te
3 That day the man of God gave a sign, saying, “The LORD has spoken this sign: ‘Surely the altar will be split apart, and the ashes upon it will be poured out.’”
deditque in die illa signum dicens hoc erit signum quod locutus est Dominus ecce altare scinditur et effunditur cinis qui in eo est
4 Now when King Jeroboam, who was at the altar in Bethel, heard the word that the man of God had cried out against it, he stretched out his hand and said, “Seize him!” But the hand he stretched out toward him withered, so that he could not pull it back.
cumque audisset rex sermonem hominis Dei quem inclamaverat contra altare in Bethel extendit manum suam de altari dicens adprehendite eum et exaruit manus eius quam extenderat contra eum nec valuit retrahere eam ad se
5 And the altar was split apart, and the ashes poured out, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
altare quoque scissum est et effusus cinis de altari iuxta signum quod praedixerat vir Dei in sermone Domini
6 Then the king responded to the man of God, “Intercede with the LORD your God and pray that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God interceded with the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored to him as it was before.
et ait rex ad virum Dei deprecare faciem Domini Dei tui et ora pro me ut restituatur manus mea mihi oravit vir Dei faciem Domini et reversa est manus regis ad eum et facta est sicut prius fuerat
7 Then the king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”
locutus est autem rex ad virum Dei veni mecum domum ut prandeas et dabo tibi munera
8 But the man of God replied, “If you were to give me half your possessions, I still would not go with you, nor would I eat bread or drink water in this place.
responditque vir Dei ad regem si dederis mihi mediam partem domus tuae non veniam tecum nec comedam panem neque bibam aquam in loco isto
9 For this is what I was commanded by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water or return by the way you came.’”
sic enim mandatum est mihi in sermone Domini praecipientis non comedes panem neque bibes aquam nec reverteris per viam qua venisti
10 So the man of God went another way and did not return by the way he had come to Bethel.
abiit ergo per aliam viam et non est reversus per iter quo venerat in Bethel
11 Now a certain old prophet was living in Bethel, and his sons came and told him all the deeds that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words that the man had spoken to the king.
prophetes autem quidam senex habitabat in Bethel ad quem venit filius suus et narravit ei omnia opera quae fecerat vir Dei illa die in Bethel et verba quae locutus fuerat ad regem et narraverunt patri suo
12 “Which way did he go?” their father asked. And his sons showed him the way taken by the man of God, who had come from Judah.
et dixit eis pater eorum per quam viam abiit ostenderunt ei filii sui viam per quam abierat vir Dei qui venerat de Iuda
13 So the prophet said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” Then they saddled the donkey for him, and he mounted it
et ait filiis suis sternite mihi asinum qui cum stravissent ascendit
14 and went after the man of God. He found him sitting under an oak tree and asked, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” “I am,” he replied.
et abiit post virum Dei et invenit eum sedentem subtus terebinthum et ait illi tune es vir Dei qui venisti de Iuda respondit ille ego sum
15 So the prophet said to the man of God, “Come home with me and eat some bread.”
dixit ad eum veni mecum domum ut comedas panem
16 But the man replied, “I cannot return with you or eat bread or drink water with you in this place.
qui ait non possum reverti neque venire tecum nec comedam panem nec bibam aquam in loco isto
17 For I have been told by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way you came.’”
quia locutus est Dominus ad me in sermone Domini dicens non comedes panem et non bibes ibi aquam nec reverteris per viam qua ieris
18 Then the prophet replied, “I too am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread and drink water.’” The old prophet was lying to him,
qui ait illi et ego propheta sum similis tui et angelus locutus est mihi in sermone Domini dicens reduc eum tecum in domum tuam et comedat panem et bibat aquam fefellit eum
19 but the man of God went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
et reduxit secum comedit ergo panem in domo eius et bibit aquam
20 While they were sitting at the table, the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back,
cumque sederent ad mensam factus est sermo Domini ad prophetam qui reduxerat eum
21 and the prophet cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because you have defied the word of the LORD and have not kept the commandment that the LORD your God gave you,
et exclamavit ad virum Dei qui venerat de Iuda dicens haec dicit Dominus quia inoboediens fuisti ori Domini et non custodisti mandatum quod praecepit tibi Dominus Deus tuus
22 but you went back and ate bread and drank water in the place where He told you not to do so, your body shall never reach the tomb of your fathers.’”
et reversus es et comedisti panem et bibisti aquam in loco in quo praecepit tibi ne comederes panem neque biberes aquam non inferetur cadaver tuum in sepulchrum patrum tuorum
23 And after the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the old prophet who had brought him back saddled the donkey for him.
cumque comedisset et bibisset stravit asinum prophetae quem reduxerat
24 As he went on his way, a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was left lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it.
qui cum abisset invenit eum leo in via et occidit et erat cadaver eius proiectum in itinere asinus autem stabat iuxta illum et leo stabat iuxta cadaver
25 And there were men passing by who saw the body lying in the road with the lion standing beside it, and they went and reported this in the city where the old prophet lived.
et ecce viri transeuntes viderunt cadaver proiectum in via et leonem stantem iuxta cadaver et venerunt et divulgaverunt in civitate in qua prophetes senex ille habitabat
26 When the prophet who had brought him back from his journey heard this, he said, “It is the man of God who disobeyed the command of the LORD. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, and it has mauled him and killed him, according to the word that the LORD had spoken to him.”
quod cum audisset propheta ille qui reduxerat eum de via ait vir Dei est qui inoboediens fuit ori Domini et tradidit eum Dominus leoni et confregit eum et occidit iuxta verbum Domini quod locutus est ei
27 Then the old prophet instructed his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled it,
dixitque ad filios suos sternite mihi asinum qui cum stravissent
28 and he went and found the body lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body or mauled the donkey.
et ille abisset invenit cadaver eius proiectum in via et asinum et leonem stantes iuxta cadaver non comedit leo de cadavere nec laesit asinum
29 So the old prophet lifted up the body of the man of God, laid it on the donkey, and brought it back to his own city to mourn for him and bury him.
tulit ergo prophetes cadaver viri Dei et posuit illud super asinum et reversus intulit in civitatem prophetae senis ut plangerent eum
30 Then he laid the body in his own tomb, and they lamented over him, “Oh, my brother!”
et posuit cadaver eius in sepulchro suo et planxerunt eum heu frater
31 After he had buried him, the prophet said to his sons, “When I die, you must bury me in the tomb where the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones,
cumque planxissent eum dixit ad filios suos cum mortuus fuero sepelite me in sepulchro in quo vir Dei sepultus est iuxta ossa eius ponite ossa mea
32 for the message that he cried out by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel and against all the shrines on the high places in the cities of Samaria will surely come to pass.”
profecto enim veniet sermo quem praedixit in sermone Domini contra altare quod est in Bethel et contra omnia fana excelsorum quae sunt in urbibus Samariae
33 Even after these events, Jeroboam did not repent of his evil ways, but again he appointed priests for the high places from every class of people. He ordained anyone who desired to be a priest of the high places.
post verba haec non est reversus Hieroboam de via sua pessima sed e contrario fecit de novissimis populi sacerdotes excelsorum quicumque volebat implebat manum suam et fiebat sacerdos excelsorum
34 And this was the sin of the house of Jeroboam that led to its extermination and destruction from the face of the earth.
et propter hanc causam peccavit domus Hieroboam et eversa est et deleta de superficie terrae
