神人警告耶罗波安

13 有一个神人,奉耶和华的命令,从犹大来到伯特利;那时,耶罗波安正站在祭坛旁边烧香。 神人奉耶和华的命令,向那祭坛喊叫,说:“祭坛哪,祭坛哪,耶和华这样说:‘看哪,大卫家要生一个儿子,名叫约西亚;他要把邱坛的祭司,就是在你上面烧香的,作祭物献在你上面。人的骨头也要在你上面焚烧。’” 那天,神人提出一个兆头,说:“这是耶和华所说的兆头。看哪,这祭坛必破裂,祭坛上的灰必倾撒下来。” 耶罗波安王听见神人向伯特利的祭坛喊叫的话,就从祭坛上伸手,说:“抓住他!”王向他伸出的手却瘫痪了,不能缩回来。 祭坛也破裂了,灰从祭坛上倾撒下来,好象神人奉耶和华的命令所提出的预兆一样。 王对神人说:“求你为我向耶和华你的 神求情,又为我祷告,使我的手复原。”于是神人向耶和华求情,王的手就复了原,像起先一样。 王对神人说:“请与我一起回王宫去,吃点东西,加添心力,我还要赐给你一份礼物。” 神人对王说:“你就是把王宫的一半给我,我也不会与你回去,也不在这地方吃饭喝水。 因为有耶和华的话吩咐我说:‘你不可吃饭喝水,也不可从你去的原路回来。’” 10 于是神人从另一条路去了,没有从他来伯特利的原路回去。

神人受骗违背 神的命令

11 有一个老先知住在伯特利,他的儿子们(按照《马索拉文本》,“儿子们”作“儿子”;现参照各古译本翻译)来告诉他,那一天神人在伯特利所行的一切事。他们也把他对王所说的话,都告诉了他们的父亲。 12 他们的父亲问他们:“神人从哪条路走了呢?”他的儿子们就把从犹大来的神人所走的路,指给他看。 13 他对儿子们说:“给我备驴!”于是他们给他备驴,他就骑上, 14 去追赶神人,遇见他正坐在橡树底下,就问他:“你是从犹大来的神人吗?”他回答:“是的!” 15 老先知对他说:“请你与我一起回家去吃饭。” 16 神人说:“我不能与你回去,或是与你同行,也不能与你在这地方吃饭喝水, 17 因为有耶和华的话对我说:‘你在那里不可吃饭喝水,也不可从你去的原路回来。’” 18 老先知对他说:“我也是先知,和你一样。有一位天使奉耶和华的命令告诉我说:‘你去带他与你一起回家,给他吃饭喝水。’”但是,老先知是欺骗他的。 19 于是神人与他一起回去,在他的家里吃饭喝水。

神人受耶和华责备

20 他们二人正在席上吃喝的时候,耶和华的话临到那把神人带回来的先知, 21 他就对那从犹大来的神人喊叫,说:“耶和华这样说:‘你既然违背了耶和华的命令,没有谨守耶和华你的 神吩咐你的诫命, 22 反倒回来,在耶和华吩咐你不可吃饭喝水的地方,吃了饭喝了水,因此,你的尸体不能入葬你列祖的坟墓里。’”

神人被狮子咬死

23 吃了饭喝了水之后,老先知为他带回来的先知备驴。 24 他就去了;在路上有一只狮子遇见了他,就把他咬死了。他的尸体被丢在路上,驴子站在尸体旁边,狮子也站在尸体旁边。 25 有人从那里经过,看见尸体被丢在路上,狮子站在尸体旁边,就来到老先知所住的城里,述说这事。

老先知埋葬神人

26 那把神人从路上带回来的先知听见了这事,就说:“这是那违背了耶和华命令的神人;耶和华把他交给狮子,狮子就把他撕裂,咬死了他,正如耶和华对他说过的话。” 27 老先知又吩咐他的儿子们说:“给我备驴。”他们就备了驴。 28 于是他去了,看见神人的尸体被丢在路上,驴子和狮子都站在尸体旁边,那狮子并没有吃掉尸体,也没有撕裂驴子。 29 老先知把神人的尸体抱起来,放在驴子上,带回自己的城里,要为他举哀,要埋葬他。 30 老先知把他的尸体埋葬在自己的坟墓里;人们为他举哀,说:“哀哉,我兄啊!” 31 埋葬他以后,老先知就对儿子们说:“我死了以后,你们要把我埋葬在神人的坟墓里,把我的骸骨放在他的骸骨旁边。 32 因为他奉耶和华的命令,攻击伯特利的坛和在撒玛利亚各城邱坛上的殿所喊叫的话,必定应验。”

耶罗波安仍执迷不悟

33 这事以后,耶罗波安还不从他的恶道转回,竟然把平民立为邱坛的祭司;愿意的,他都把他们分别为圣,立他们为邱坛的祭司。 34 这事成为耶罗波安的家的罪,以致他的家从地上被涂抹与除灭。

上帝的仆人警告耶罗波安

13 有一位上帝的仆人奉耶和华的命令从犹大来到伯特利。那时,耶罗波安正站在祭坛旁烧香。 上帝的仆人奉耶和华的命令向祭坛喊道:“祭坛啊,祭坛啊,耶和华说,必有一子在大卫家出生,他名叫约西亚。他要在你上面杀死这些献祭的祭司,在你上面焚烧人的骨头。”

当日,他又说:“耶和华说要给你们一个征兆,这坛必破裂,坛上的灰必撒出来。”

耶罗波安王听了他的话,就伸手指着他说:“给我拿住他!”但王伸出来的手僵住了,不能收回。 这时,祭坛破裂了,坛上的灰也撒了出来,应验了上帝的仆人奉耶和华之命所说的征兆。

王对上帝的仆人说:“请你为我祷告,求你的上帝耶和华使我的手复原。”于是,上帝的仆人向耶和华祷告,王的手就复原了。 王对上帝的仆人说:“请你跟我回宫,吃点东西吧!我要酬谢你。” 上帝的仆人却说:“你就是把你一半的财富送给我,我也不跟你去,也不在这地方用饭喝水, 因为耶和华吩咐我不可在伯特利用饭喝水,也不可原路返回。” 10 上帝的仆人就从另一条路回去了,没有原路返回。

11 在伯特利住着一位老先知,他儿子们把上帝的仆人那天所行的事和对王所说的话告诉了他。 12 老先知问道:“上帝的仆人走的哪条路?”他的儿子们就把上帝的仆人走的那条路告诉了他。 13-14 于是,他嘱咐儿子们为他备驴,然后骑驴去追赶上帝的仆人,看见他正坐在一棵橡树下,便问:“你就是那位从犹大来的上帝的仆人吗?”他说:“是。” 15 老先知说:“请你跟我一起回家吃饭吧!” 16 上帝的仆人说:“我不能跟你去,也不能跟你在这里吃饭喝水, 17 因为耶和华吩咐我不可在这里用饭喝水,也不可原路返回。” 18 老先知就说:“我也是先知,和你一样。耶和华派天使来吩咐我带你到我家吃饭喝水。” 19 上帝的仆人就随他回家吃饭喝水。

20 席间,耶和华的话临到老先知, 21 他就对从犹大来的上帝的仆人说:“耶和华说,你违背了你的上帝耶和华的命令,没有遵从祂的吩咐, 22 竟然在祂禁止你吃喝的地方吃饭喝水,因此你的尸体必不得安葬在你的祖坟里。”

23 吃喝完了,老先知为他带回家的这位先知备驴启程, 24 这位先知在路上遇到一头狮子,被咬死了,尸体倒在路上,驴和狮子都站在尸体旁边。 25 过路的人看见尸体倒在路上,旁边还站着一头狮子,就去老先知住的城报告这事。 26 老先知听到消息,就说:“这是上帝的仆人,他违背了耶和华的命令,所以耶和华让狮子咬死了他,正应验了耶和华的话。”

27 他吩咐儿子们备好驴, 28 去了那里,看见上帝仆人的尸体倒在路上,驴和狮子站在尸体旁。狮子既没有吃尸体,也没有伤害驴。 29 老先知把尸体驮在驴背上,运回城中为他哀悼, 30 把他葬在自己的坟墓里,哀悼他说:“唉!我的弟兄啊!” 31 安葬之后,老先知又对儿子们说:“我死后,你们要把我跟上帝的仆人合葬,让我们的尸骨在一起。 32 因为他奉耶和华的命令咒诅伯特利的祭坛和撒玛利亚各城的神庙的话必应验。”

33 这事以后,耶罗波安没有改邪归正,他任命各种人做丘坛的祭司,不管谁想做祭司,他都封立他们。 34 这罪使耶罗波安家走向没落,最终彻底灭亡。

神人警告耶羅波安

13 有一個神人,奉耶和華的命令,從猶大來到伯特利;那時,耶羅波安正站在祭壇旁邊燒香。 神人奉耶和華的命令,向那祭壇喊叫,說:“祭壇哪,祭壇哪,耶和華這樣說:‘看哪,大衛家要生一個兒子,名叫約西亞;他要把邱壇的祭司,就是在你上面燒香的,作祭物獻在你上面。人的骨頭也要在你上面焚燒。’” 那天,神人提出一個兆頭,說:“這是耶和華所說的兆頭。看哪,這祭壇必破裂,祭壇上的灰必傾撒下來。” 耶羅波安王聽見神人向伯特利的祭壇喊叫的話,就從祭壇上伸手,說:“抓住他!”王向他伸出的手卻癱瘓了,不能縮回來。 祭壇也破裂了,灰從祭壇上傾撒下來,好像神人奉耶和華的命令所提出的預兆一樣。 王對神人說:“求你為我向耶和華你的 神求情,又為我禱告,使我的手復原。”於是神人向耶和華求情,王的手就復了原,像起先一樣。 王對神人說:“請與我一起回王宮去,吃點東西,加添心力,我還要賜給你一份禮物。” 神人對王說:“你就是把王宮的一半給我,我也不會與你回去,也不在這地方吃飯喝水。 因為有耶和華的話吩咐我說:‘你不可吃飯喝水,也不可從你去的原路回來。’” 10 於是神人從另一條路去了,沒有從他來伯特利的原路回去。

神人受騙違背 神的命令

11 有一個老先知住在伯特利,他的兒子們(按照《馬索拉文本》,“兒子們”作“兒子”;現參照各古譯本翻譯)來告訴他,那一天神人在伯特利所行的一切事。他們也把他對王所說的話,都告訴了他們的父親。 12 他們的父親問他們:“神人從哪條路走了呢?”他的兒子們就把從猶大來的神人所走的路,指給他看。 13 他對兒子們說:“給我備驢!”於是他們給他備驢,他就騎上, 14 去追趕神人,遇見他正坐在橡樹底下,就問他:“你是從猶大來的神人嗎?”他回答:“是的!” 15 老先知對他說:“請你與我一起回家去吃飯。” 16 神人說:“我不能與你回去,或是與你同行,也不能與你在這地方吃飯喝水, 17 因為有耶和華的話對我說:‘你在那裡不可吃飯喝水,也不可從你去的原路回來。’” 18 老先知對他說:“我也是先知,和你一樣。有一位天使奉耶和華的命令告訴我說:‘你去帶他與你一起回家,給他吃飯喝水。’”但是,老先知是欺騙他的。 19 於是神人與他一起回去,在他的家裡吃飯喝水。

神人受耶和華責備

20 他們二人正在席上吃喝的時候,耶和華的話臨到那把神人帶回來的先知, 21 他就對那從猶大來的神人喊叫,說:“耶和華這樣說:‘你既然違背了耶和華的命令,沒有謹守耶和華你的 神吩咐你的誡命, 22 反倒回來,在耶和華吩咐你不可吃飯喝水的地方,吃了飯喝了水,因此,你的屍體不能入葬你列祖的墳墓裡。’”

神人被獅子咬死

23 吃了飯喝了水之後,老先知為他帶回來的先知備驢。 24 他就去了;在路上有一隻獅子遇見了他,就把他咬死了。他的屍體被丟在路上,驢子站在屍體旁邊,獅子也站在屍體旁邊。 25 有人從那裡經過,看見屍體被丟在路上,獅子站在屍體旁邊,就來到老先知所住的城裡,述說這事。

老先知埋葬神人

26 那把神人從路上帶回來的先知聽見了這事,就說:“這是那違背了耶和華命令的神人;耶和華把他交給獅子,獅子就把他撕裂,咬死了他,正如耶和華對他說過的話。” 27 老先知又吩咐他的兒子們說:“給我備驢。”他們就備了驢。 28 於是他去了,看見神人的屍體被丟在路上,驢子和獅子都站在屍體旁邊,那獅子並沒有吃掉屍體,也沒有撕裂驢子。 29 老先知把神人的屍體抱起來,放在驢子上,帶回自己的城裡,要為他舉哀,要埋葬他。 30 老先知把他的屍體埋葬在自己的墳墓裡;人們為他舉哀,說:“哀哉,我兄啊!” 31 埋葬他以後,老先知就對兒子們說:“我死了以後,你們要把我埋葬在神人的墳墓裡,把我的骸骨放在他的骸骨旁邊。 32 因為他奉耶和華的命令,攻擊伯特利的壇和在撒瑪利亞各城邱壇上的殿所喊叫的話,必定應驗。”

耶羅波安仍執迷不悟

33 這事以後,耶羅波安還不從他的惡道轉回,竟然把平民立為邱壇的祭司;願意的,他都把他們分別為聖,立他們為邱壇的祭司。 34 這事成為耶羅波安的家的罪,以致他的家從地上被塗抹與除滅。

13 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 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 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 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.

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 king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat 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 said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.

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:

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.

10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.

11 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.

12 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.

13 And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,

14 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.

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 the Lord, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.

18 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.

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 the Lord came unto the prophet that brought him back:

21 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,

22 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 carcase 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 carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.

25 And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: 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 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.

27 And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.

28 And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass.

29 And the prophet took up the carcase 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.

30 And he laid his carcase 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 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.

33 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.

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.
