Young's Literal Translation
And ,
behold
, there
came
a man of God out
of
Judah by the word of the
LORD
unto Bethel:
and Jeroboam stood
by the altar to burn
incense.
And 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;
And he cried
against the altar in
the word of the
LORD
, and said
, O
altar ,
altar ,
thus saith
the
LORD;
Behold
, a child
shall
be
born unto
the house of David ,
Josiah by
name ;
and upon
thee
shall
he offer
the priests of the high places that
burn
incense
upon
thee, and men's
bones shall
be
burnt upon
thee.
and 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. '
And he gave
a sign the
same
day
, saying, This is the sign which
the
LORD
hath spoken ;
Behold
, the altar shall
be
rent, and the ashes that are upon
it shall
be
poured
out
.
And 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. '
And it came
to pass, when
king
Jeroboam
heard
the saying
of the man of God ,
which
had
cried
against the altar in Bethel
, that he
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 pull
it
in
again
to him .
And 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 ,
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 the
LORD
.
and
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
.
And the king answered
and said
unto the man of God, Entreat
now
the face of the
LORD
thy God, and pray for me, that
my hand may
be
restored
me again.
And the man of God besought
the LORD
, and the king's
hand was
restored
him again
, and became
as
it was
before
.
And 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
.
And the king said
unto the man of God, Come home
with me, and refresh thyself, and I will
give thee a reward
.
And 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
. '
And the man of God said
unto the king, If thou wilt
give me half thine house, I will
not go in with thee, neither
will
I eat bread nor drink water in this place :
And 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 ;
For so was
it
charged
me by the word of the
LORD
, saying, Eat no
bread ,
nor drink water, nor turn again
by
the same
way that thou camest
.
for 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
. '
So
he went
another way, and returned
not by
the way that
he came to
Bethel
.
And
he goeth
on
in
another way, and hath
not turned
back
in
the way in
which
he came in
unto
Beth-El
.
Now
there
dwelt
an
old
prophet in Bethel;
and his sons
came
and told
him all the works
that the man of God had
done that
day in Bethel:
the words which
he had
spoken unto the king, them
they told
also
to their father.
And
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.
And their father said
unto them, What
way went
he? For
his sons had
seen
what
way the man of God went,
which
came from Judah.
And 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.
And he said
unto his sons, Saddle me the ass .
So
they saddled
him the ass :
and he rode
thereon
,
And he saith
unto his sons, `
Saddle for
me the ass ,'
and
they saddle
for
him the ass ,
and he rideth
on
it
,
And 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.
and 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 '
. '
Then
he said
unto him, Come home
with me, and eat bread.
And
he saith
unto him, `
Come with me to
the
house
, and eat bread. '
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 :
And 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 ,
For it
was
said
to
me by the word of the
LORD
, Thou shalt
eat no
bread nor drink water
there, nor
turn again
to go by
the way that
thou camest.
for 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. '
He said
unto
him, I am a prophet also
as
thou
art;
and an
angel
spake unto me by the word of the
LORD
, saying, Bring him back with thee into
thine
house, that
he may
eat bread and drink water .
But
he lied unto
him.
And
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.
So
he went
back with him, and did
eat
bread in his house, and drank
water.
And
he turneth
back with him, and eateth
bread in his house, and drinketh
water.
And it came
to pass ,
as
they sat
at the table ,
that
the
word of the
LORD
came
unto the prophet that
brought him back :
And it cometh
to pass --
they are
sitting
at the table --
and
a
word of Jehovah
is
unto the prophet who
brought him back ,
And he cried
unto the man of God that
came from Judah, saying, Thus saith
the
LORD
, Forasmuch
as
thou hast disobeyed
the mouth of the
LORD
, and hast not kept the commandment
which
the
LORD
thy God commanded
thee,
and 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,
But
camest
back ,
and hast
eaten
bread and drunk
water in the place ,
of the
which the
Lord
did
say
to
thee, Eat no
bread ,
and
drink no
water ;
thy carcass
shall
not come
unto the sepulchre
of thy fathers.
and
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. '
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 .
And 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 ,
And when
he was
gone
, a lion met
him by
the way, and slew
him :
and his carcass
was
cast in the way, and the ass stood
by
it, the lion also
stood
by
the carcass
.
and 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
.
And ,
behold
, men passed
by, and saw
the carcass
cast in the way, and the lion standing by
the carcass:
and they came
and told
it in the city where
the old prophet dwelt
.
And 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
.
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 word
of the
LORD:
therefore
the
LORD
hath
delivered
him unto
the lion, which
hath
torn
him, and slain
him, according to the word of the
LORD,
which
he spake unto
him.
And 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. '
And he spake
to
his sons ,
saying, Saddle me the ass .
And they saddled
him
.
And he speaketh
unto
his sons saying, `
Saddle for
me the ass ,'
and they saddle
`it'
.
And he went
and found
his carcass
cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by
the carcass:
the lion had
not eaten the carcass,
nor torn
the ass.
And 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.
And the prophet took
up the carcass
of the man of God, and laid
it upon
the ass, and brought
it back :
and the old prophet came
to
the city ,
to mourn and to bury him .
And 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 ,
And he laid
his carcass
in his own grave ;
and they mourned
over
him, saying,
Alas
, my brother!
and he placeth
his carcase
in his own grave ,
and they mourn
for
him, `Oh
, my brother! '
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 :
And 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;
For the saying
which
he cried
by the word of the
LORD
against
the altar in
Bethel
, and against
all the houses of the high places which
are in the
cities of Samaria ,
shall
surely
come
to
pass
.
for 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. '
After this thing Jeroboam returned
not from his evil way, but
made
again
of the lowest
of the people priests of the
high places :
whosoever
would,
he consecrated
him
, and he became
one
of the priests of the high places.
After 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.
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
.
And 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
.
