1 Kings 13-14New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE) A Man of God from Judah 13 While Jeroboam was standing by the altar to offer incense, a man of God came out of Judah by the word of the Lord to Bethel 2 and proclaimed against the altar by the word of the Lord, and said, “O altar, altar, thus says the Lord: ‘A son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and he shall sacrifice on you the priests of the high places who offer incense on you, and human bones shall be burned on you.’” 3 He gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign that the Lord has spoken: ‘The altar shall be torn down, and the ashes that are on it shall be poured out.’” 4 When the king heard what the man of God cried out against the altar at Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!” But the hand that he stretched out against him withered so that he could not draw it back to himself. 5 The altar also was torn down, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of the Lord. 6 The king said to the man of God, “Entreat now the favor of the Lord your God, and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored to me.” So the man of God entreated the Lord; and the king’s hand was restored to him, and became as it was before. 7 Then the king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and dine, and I will give you a gift.” 8 But the man of God said to the king, “If you give me half your kingdom, I will not go in with you; nor will I eat food or drink water in this place. 9 For thus I was commanded by the word of the Lord: You shall not eat food, or drink water, or return by the way that you came.” 10 So he went another way, and did not return by the way that he had come to Bethel. 11 Now there lived an old prophet in Bethel. One of his sons came and told him all that the man of God had done that day in Bethel; the words also that he had spoken to the king, they told to their father. 12 Their father said to them, “Which way did he go?” And his sons showed him the way that the man of God who came from Judah had gone. 13 Then he said to his sons, “Saddle a donkey for me.” So they saddled a donkey for him, and he mounted it. 14 He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak tree. He said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” He answered, “I am.” 15 Then he said to him, “Come home with me and eat some food.” 16 But he said, “I cannot return with you, or go in with you; nor will I eat food or drink water with you in this place; 17 for it was said to me by the word of the Lord: You shall not eat food or drink water there, or return by the way that you came.” 18 Then the other said to him, “I also am a prophet as you are, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord: Bring him back with you into your house so that he may eat food and drink water.” But he was deceiving him. 19 Then the man of God went back with him, and ate food and drank water in his house. 20 As they were sitting at the table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had brought him back; 21 and he proclaimed to the man of God who came from Judah, “Thus says the Lord: Because you have disobeyed the word of the Lord, and have not kept the commandment that the Lord your God commanded you, 22 but have come back and have eaten food and drunk water in the place of which he said to you, ‘Eat no food, and drink no water,’ your body shall not come to your ancestral tomb.” 23 After the man of God had eaten food and had drunk, they saddled for him a donkey belonging to the prophet who had brought him back. 24 Then as he went away, a lion met him on the road and killed him. His body was thrown in the road, and the donkey stood beside it; the lion also stood beside the body. 25 People passed by and saw the body thrown in the road, with the lion standing by the body. And they came and told it in the town where the old prophet lived. 26 When the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, “It is the man of God who disobeyed the word of the Lord; therefore the Lord has given him to the lion, which has torn him and killed him according to the word that the Lord spoke to him.” 27 Then he said to his sons, “Saddle a donkey for me.” So they saddled one, 28 and he went and found the body thrown in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside the body. The lion had not eaten the body or attacked the donkey. 29 The prophet took up the body of the man of God, laid it on the donkey, and brought it back to the city, to mourn and to bury him. 30 He laid the body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, “Alas, my brother!” 31 After he had buried him, he said to his sons, “When I die, bury me in the grave in which the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones. 32 For the saying that he proclaimed by the word of the Lord against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places that are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.” 33 Even after this event Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but made priests for the high places again from among all the people; any who wanted to be priests he consecrated for the high places. 34 This matter became sin to the house of Jeroboam, so as to cut it off and to destroy it from the face of the earth. Judgment on the House of Jeroboam 14 At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam fell sick. 2 Jeroboam said to his wife, “Go, disguise yourself, so that it will not be known that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; for the prophet Ahijah is there, who said of me that I should be king over this people. 3 Take with you ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him; he will tell you what shall happen to the child.” 4 Jeroboam’s wife did so; she set out and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age. 5 But the Lord said to Ahijah, “The wife of Jeroboam is coming to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall say to her.” When she came, she pretended to be another woman. 6 But when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam; why do you pretend to be another? For I am charged with heavy tidings for you. 7 Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Because I exalted you from among the people, made you leader over my people Israel, 8 and tore the kingdom away from the house of David to give it to you; yet you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments and followed me with all his heart, doing only that which was right in my sight, 9 but you have done evil above all those who were before you and have gone and made for yourself other gods, and cast images, provoking me to anger, and have thrust me behind your back; 10 therefore, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam. I will cut off from Jeroboam every male, both bond and free in Israel, and will consume the house of Jeroboam, just as one burns up dung until it is all gone. 11 Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city, the dogs shall eat; and anyone who dies in the open country, the birds of the air shall eat; for the Lord has spoken.’ 12 Therefore set out, go to your house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die. 13 All Israel shall mourn for him and bury him; for he alone of Jeroboam’s family shall come to the grave, because in him there is found something pleasing to the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam. 14 Moreover the Lord will raise up for himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam today, even right now! 15 “The Lord will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; he will root up Israel out of this good land that he gave to their ancestors, and scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their sacred poles, provoking the Lord to anger. 16 He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he sinned and which he caused Israel to commit.” 17 Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and went away, and she came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died. 18 All Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant the prophet Ahijah. Death of Jeroboam 19 Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred and how he reigned, are written in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Israel. 20 The time that Jeroboam reigned was twenty-two years; then he slept with his ancestors, and his son Nadab succeeded him. Rehoboam Reigns over Judah 21 Now Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. 22 Judah did what was evil in the sight of the Lord; they provoked him to jealousy with their sins that they committed, more than all that their ancestors had done. 23 For they also built for themselves high places, pillars, and sacred poles on every high hill and under every green tree; 24 there were also male temple prostitutes in the land. They committed all the abominations of the nations that the Lord drove out before the people of Israel. 25 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, King Shishak of Egypt came up against Jerusalem; 26 he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord and the treasures of the king’s house; he took everything. He also took away all the shields of gold that Solomon had made; 27 so King Rehoboam made shields of bronze instead, and committed them to the hands of the officers of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house. 28 As often as the king went into the house of the Lord, the guard carried them and brought them back to the guardroom. 29 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Annals of the Kings of Judah? 30 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually. 31 Rehoboam slept with his ancestors and was buried with his ancestors in the city of David. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. His son Abijam succeeded him.

1 राजा 13Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) परमेश्वर बेतेलको विरूद्धमा बोल्नुहुन्छ 13 परमप्रभुले यहूदाका एक जना परमेश्वरको जन अगमवक्तालाई बेतेल शहरमा जाने आदेश दिनुभयो। राजा यारोबाम वेदीमा उभिएर धूपबत्ती बालि रहेका थिए तब परमेश्वरको जन त्यहाँ पुगे। 2 परमप्रभुले त्यस परमेश्वरको जनलाई वेदीको विरोधमा बोल्ने आदेश दिनुभयो। उनले भने, “वेदी, परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई भन्नुभएको छः ‘दाऊदको परिवारमा योशीया नाउँ भएको एउटा छोरा जन्मिनेछ। यी पूजाहारीहरू अहिले अग्ला ठाउँहरूमा पूजा गरिहरेका थिए तर वेदी, योशीया ती पूजारीहरूलाई तिमी माथि राख्नेछन् अनि उनले तिनीहरूलाई मार्नेछन्। अहिले ती पूजाहारीहरू तिमी माथि धूपबत्ती बाल्ने गर्छन्। तर योशीयाले तिमी माथि मानिसको हाड जलाउनेछन्। तब तिमी फेरि प्रयोगमा आउने छैनौ!’” 3 यी घटनाहरू हुनेछन्, भनेर त्यस परमेश्वरको जनले मानिसहरूलाई प्रमाण देखाए। उनले भने, “परमप्रभुले मलाई बताएको प्रमाण यो नै हो। परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो, ‘यो वेदी भत्किने छ अनि यसको सबै खरानी भूईंमा खस्ने छ।’” 4 जब राजा यारोबामले बेतेलको वेदीको विषयमा परमेश्वरको जनबाट जानकारी पाए, उसले वेदीबाट आफ्नो हात हटाए अनि त्यस मानिस तिर देखाए। उनले भने, “त्यो मानिसलाई बन्दी बनाऊ!” तर जब राजाले यसो भने, उसको हात कुँजो भइहाल्यो। उसले उसको हात चलाउन सकेन। 5 वेदी पनि टुक्रा-टुक्रा भएर भत्कियो। वेदीको सबै खरानी भूईंमा छरियो। त्यो परमेश्वरको जनले भनेका प्रमाण थियो त्यो वचन परमप्रभुबाट भविष्यवाणि भएका थियो। 6 तब राजा यारोबामले परमेश्वरको जनलाई भने, “कृपया परमप्रभु तपाईंका परमेश्वरसँग मेरो लागि प्रार्थना गर। परमप्रभुलाई मेरो हात निको पार्नु भन।” यसकारण त्यस परमेश्वरको जनले परमप्रभुलाई प्रार्थना गर्यो अनि राजाको पाखुरा निको भयो। यो पहिले जस्तैं नै भयो। 7 तब राजाले त्यस परमेश्वरका जनलाई भने, “कृपया मसँग घरमा आउनुहोस्। म सँग भोजन गर्नुहोस्। म तपाईंलाई उपहार दिनेछु।” 8 तर परमेश्वरको जनले राजालाई भने, “यदि तिमीले मलाई तिम्रो आधा राज्य दिए पनि म तिमीसँग तिम्रो घर जाने छैन, म यहाँ कुनै चीज खाने पिउने छैन। म यस ठाउँमा न कुनै चिज खाने छु नता पीउने नै छु। 9 परमप्रभुले मलाई कुनै चिज नखानु अथवा नपिउनु भनी आदेश दिनु भएको छ। परमप्रभुले मैले आउँदा प्रयोगगरेको बाटोमा पनि न हिंड्नु भनी आदेश दिनुभएको थियो।” 10 यसकारण अर्को बाटोबाट उनले यात्रा गरे। उनले त्यही बाटोबाट यात्रा गरेनन् जुन उनले बेतेलमा आउँदा हिँडेका थिए। 11 बेतेल शहरमा एक जना वृद्ध अगमवक्ता बस्दै थिए। उनका छोराहरू आए अनि बेतेलमा परमेश्वरको जनले गरेको कार्यको विषयमा उनलाई बताए। तिनीहरूले आफ्ना पितालाई परमेश्वरको जनले राजा यारोबामलाई बताएको कुरा सुनाए। 12 बूढा अगमवक्ताले भने, “उसले फर्किदा कुन बाटोमा यात्रा गर्यो?” यसकारण छोराहरूले आफ्ना पितालाई त्यो बाटो देखाए जसबाट यहूदाबांट आउँने परमेश्वरको जन गएको थियो। 13 बूढा अगमवक्ताले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई गधा माथि काठी कस्नु भने यसकारण तिनीहरूले गधामाथि काठी कसे। तब अगमवक्ता गधामा चढेर हिंडे। 14 बूढा अगमवक्ता परमेश्वरका जनको पछि लागे। बूढा अगमवक्ताले परमेश्वरका जनलाई एउटा तारपीनको रूखतल बसेको पाए। बूढा अगमवक्ताले सोधे, “के तिमी नै परमेश्वरका जन हो जो यहूदाबाट आएको हो?” परमेश्वरका जनले बताए, “हो, म नै हुँ।” 15 तब बूढा अगमवक्तले भने, “कृपया घर आऊ अनि मसित भोजन गर।” 16 तर परमेश्वरको जनले भने, “म तिमी सँग जान, सक्दिन। म यस ठाउँमा खाने-पिउने गर्न सक्दिनँ। 17 परमप्रभुले मलाई आदेश दिनु भएको छ, ‘त्यस ठाउँमा तैंले केही खाने-पिउने गर्नु हुँदैन अनि त त्यही बाटोबाट फर्किनु हुँदैन जुनबाट पुगेको हुन्छस्।’” 18 तब बूढा अगमवक्ताले भने, “तर म पनि तिमी जस्तैं नै अगमवक्ता हुँ।” तब बूढा अगमवक्ताले एउटा झूटो कुरा गरे। उनले भने, “परमप्रभुको एक जना स्वर्गदूत म कहाँ आयो। त्यो स्वर्गदूतले तिमीलाई मेरो घरमा लानु अनि तिमीलाई खाने-पिउने दिनुभन्यो।” 19 यसकारण परमेश्वरको जन बूढा अगमवक्ताको घर गए अनि उनी सँगै खान-पीन गरे। 20 जब तिनीहरू खाने मेजमा बसेका थिए, परमप्रभुले बूढा अगमवक्तासँग बोल्नु भयो। 21 अनि बूढा अगमवक्ताले परमेश्वरको जनसँग कुरा गरे जो यहूदाबाट आएका थिए। उनले भने, “परमप्रभुले भन्नुभयो कि तिमीले उहाँको आदेश पालन गरेका छैनौ! परमप्रभु तिम्रा परमेश्वरले जो आदेश तिमीलाई दिएको थिए त्यो तिमीले पालन गरेका छैनौ। 22 परमप्रभुले तिमीलाई कुनै पनि ठाउँमा केही पनि न खानु भन्नु भएको थियो। तर तिमी फिर्ता आयौ अनि खान-पीन गर्यौ। यसकारण तिम्रो शरीर तिम्रो परिवारको चिहानमा गाडीने छैन।” 23 परमेश्वरको जनले खान-पीन सिध्याए। तब बूढा अगमवक्ताले गधा माथि उनका लागि काठी राखे अनि ती मानिस हिँडे। 24 घर तिर यात्रा गर्दा बाटोमा एउटा सिंहले आक्रामण गर्यो अनि ती परमेश्वरका जनलाई मार्यो। अगमवक्ताको लाश बाटोमा लडीरहेको थियो। गधा र सिंह लाशको छेउमा उभिएका थिए। 25 केही अरू मानिसहरू बाटोमा यात्रा गरिरहेका थिए। तिनीहरूले सिंहलाई लाशको छेउमा उभिएको देखे। मानिसहरू शहरमा आए जहाँ बूढा अगमवक्ता बस्ने गर्दथे अनि बाटोमा आफूले देखेको विषयमा उनीहरूलाई भने। 26 बूढा अगमवक्ताले ती मानिसलाई धोका दिए अनि फर्काएर ल्याए। उनले भएको घटनाको विषयमा सबै सुने अनि भने, “यो परमेश्वरको जन हो जसले परमप्रभुको आदेश पालन गरेन। यसैकारण परमप्रभुले एउटा सिंह उसलाई मार्न पठाउनु भयो। परमप्रभुले ऊ मर्छ भन्नु भएकोले नै ऊ मर्यो।” 27 तब अगमवक्ताले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई भने, “मेरो गधा माथि काठी कस।” यसकारण उनका छोराहरूले उनको गधा माथि काठी कसे। 28 बूढा अगमवक्ता निस्के अनि बाटोमा लाश पाए। गधा र सिंह अझै त्यसको छेउमा उभिएका थिए। सिंहले लाशलाई खाएको थिएन अनि यस गधालाई केही गरेको थिएन। 29 बूढा अगमवक्ताले आफ्नो गधामाथि लाश राखे। उनले लाश शहरमा शोक मनाउन अनि गाड्न ल्याए। 30 बूढा अगमवक्ताले त्यसलाई आफ्नो परिवारको चिहानमा गाडे। उसले उसको मृत्यु माथि रूदै विलाप गरे, “हे मेरो भाइ।” 31 त्यसपछि बूढा अगमवक्ताले लाश गाडे। तब उनले आफ्नो छोराहरूलाई भने, “जब म मर्छु, मलाई यही चिहानमा गाड्नु। मेरा हाडहरू उसको छेउमा रहुन्। 32 परमेश्वरले उनको माध्यमद्वारा जे बोल्नु भएको थियो साँच्चै नै साँच्चो साबित हुनेछ। परमप्रभुले उनलाई बेतेल र सामरियाको डाँडाको शहरमा भएका वेदीहरूको विरोधमा बोल्नु भन्नु भएको थियो।” 33 राजा यारोबाम बदली भएनन्। उनले दुष्ट कार्य गर्न छोडेनन्। उनले विभिन्न परिवार समूहबाट मानिसहरू छाने र पूजाहारी बनाउने कार्य जारी नै राखे। ती पूजाहारीहरू अग्लो ठाउँमा पूजा गर्दथे। पूजाहारी हुन चाहने कुनै पनि मानिसलाई पूजाहारी हुन अनुमाति दिइन्थ्यो। 34 त्यही पाप थियो जसले यारोवामको घर परिवार सर्वनाश अनि नष्ट गरेको थियो।
