| 1 | 那時有一個神人奉耶和è¯çš„命從猶大來到伯特利.耶羅波安æ£ç«™åœ¨å£‡æ—ã€è¦ç‡’香。
By the word of the LORD a man of God came from Judah to Bethel, as Jeroboam was standing by the altar to make an offering.

He cried out against the altar by the word of the LORD: "O altar, altar! This is what the LORD says: 'A son named Josiah will be born to the house of David. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who now make offerings here, and human bones will be burned on you.'"
| |
| 3 | 當日神人è¨å€‹è±«å…†ã€èªªã€é€™å£‡å¿…ç ´è£‚ã€å£‡ä¸Šçš„ç°å¿…傾撒.這是耶和è¯èªªçš„豫兆。
That same day the man of God gave a sign: "This is the sign the LORD has declared: The altar will be split apart and the ashes on it will be poured out."
| |

When King Jeroboam heard what the man of God cried out against the altar at Bethel, he stretched out his hand from the altar and said, "Seize him!" But the hand he stretched out toward the man shriveled up, so that he could not pull it back.
| |
| 5 | å£‡ä¹Ÿç ´è£‚äº†ã€å£‡ä¸Šçš„ç°å‚¾æ’’了ã€æ£å¦‚神人奉耶和è¯çš„命所è¨çš„豫兆。
Also, the altar was split apart and its ashes poured out according to the sign given by the man of God by the word of the LORD.
| |
| 6 | 王å°ç¥žäººèªªã€è«‹ä½ 為我禱告ã€æ±‚耶和è¯ä½  神的æ©å…¸ã€ä½¿æˆ‘的手復原。於是神人祈禱耶和è¯ã€çŽ‹çš„手就復了原ã€ä»å¦‚尋常一樣。
Then the king said to the man of God, "Intercede with the LORD your God and pray for me that my hand may be restored." So the man of God interceded with the LORD, and the king's hand was restored and became as it was before.
| |
| 7 | 王å°ç¥žäººèªªã€è«‹ä½ åŒæˆ‘回去喫飯ã€åŠ 添心力ã€æˆ‘ä¹Ÿå¿…çµ¦ä½ è³žè³œã€‚
The king said to the man of God, "Come home with me and have something to eat, and I will give you a gift."
| |
| 8 | 神人å°çŽ‹èªªã€ä½ å°±æ˜¯æŠŠä½ çš„å®®ä¸€åŠçµ¦æˆ‘ã€æˆ‘也ä¸åŒä½ 進去ã€ä¹Ÿä¸åœ¨é€™åœ°æ–¹å–«é£¯å–æ°´ã€
But the man of God answered the king, "Even if you were to give me half your possessions, I would not go with you, nor would I eat bread or drink water here.
| |

For I was commanded by the word of the LORD: 'You must not eat bread or drink water or return by the way you came.'"
| |
| 10 | 於是神人從別的路回去ã€ä¸å¾žä¼¯ç‰¹åˆ©ä¾†çš„原路回去。
So he took another road and did not return by the way he had come to Bethel.
| |
| 11 | 有一個è€å…ˆçŸ¥ä½åœ¨ä¼¯ç‰¹åˆ©ã€ä»–å…’å們來將神人當日在伯特利所行的一切事ã€å’Œå‘王所說的話ã€éƒ½å‘Šè¨´äº†çˆ¶è¦ªã€‚
Now there was a certain old prophet living in Bethel, whose sons came and told him all that the man of God had done there that day. They also told their father what he had said to the king.
| |
| 12 | 父親å•ä»–們說ã€ç¥žäººå¾žé‚£æ¢è·¯åŽ»äº†å‘¢ï¼Žå…’å們就告訴他。原來他們看見那從猶大來的神人所去的路。
Their father asked them, "Which way did he go?" And his sons showed him which road the man of God from Judah had taken.

So he said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." And when they had saddled the donkey for him, he mounted it

and rode 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.
| |
| 15 | è€å…ˆçŸ¥å°ä»–說ã€è«‹ä½ åŒæˆ‘回家喫飯。
So the prophet said to him, "Come home with me and eat."
| |
| 16 | 神人說ã€æˆ‘ä¸å¯åŒä½ 回去ã€é€²ä½ 的家ã€ä¹Ÿä¸å¯åœ¨é€™è£¡åŒä½ 喫飯å–水.
The man of God said, "I cannot turn back and go with you, nor can I eat bread or drink water with you in this place.

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.'"
| |
| 18 | è€å…ˆçŸ¥å°ä»–說ã€æˆ‘也是先知ã€å’Œä½ 一樣.有天使奉耶和è¯çš„命ã€å°æˆ‘說ã€ä½ åŽ»æŠŠä»–å¸¶å›žä½ çš„å®¶ã€å«ä»–喫飯å–水.這都是è€å…ˆçŸ¥èª†å“„他。
The old prophet answered, "I too am a prophet, as you are. And an angel said to me by the word of the LORD: 'Bring him back with you to your house so that he may eat bread and drink water.'" (But he was lying to him.)
| |
| 19 | 於是神人åŒè€å…ˆçŸ¥å›žåŽ»ã€åœ¨ä»–家裡喫飯å–水。
So the man of God returned with him and ate and drank in his house.
| |
| 20 | 二人åå¸çš„時候ã€è€¶å’Œè¯çš„話臨到那帶神人回來的先知.
While they were sitting at the table, the word of the LORD came to the old prophet who had brought him back.

He cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, "This is what the LORD says: 'You have defied the word of the LORD and have not kept the command the LORD your God gave you.

| |
| 23 | å–«å–完了ã€è€å…ˆçŸ¥ç‚ºæ‰€å¸¶å›žä¾†çš„先知備驢。
When the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the prophet who had brought him back saddled his donkey for him.
| |
| 24 | 他就去了.在路上有個ç…åé‡è¦‹ä»–ã€å°‡ä»–å’¬æ»ã€å±èº«å€’在路上ã€é©¢ç«™åœ¨å±èº«æ—é‚Šã€ç…å也站在å±èº«æ—邊。
As he went on his way, a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was thrown down on the road, with both the donkey and the lion standing beside it.
| |
| 25 | 有人從那裡經éŽã€çœ‹è¦‹å±èº«å€’在路上ã€ç…å站在å±èº«æ—é‚Šã€å°±ä¾†åˆ°è€å…ˆçŸ¥æ‰€ä½çš„城裡述說這事。
Some people who passed by saw the body thrown down there, with the lion standing beside the body, and they went and reported it in the city where the old prophet lived.
| |
| 26 | 那帶神人回來的先知è½è¦‹é€™äº‹ã€å°±èªªã€é€™æ˜¯é‚£é•èƒŒäº†è€¶å’Œè¯å‘½ä»¤çš„神人.所以耶和è¯æŠŠä»–交給ç…å.ç…å抓傷他ã€å’¬æ»ä»–ã€æ˜¯æ‡‰é©—耶和è¯å°ä»–說的話。
When the prophet who had brought him back from his journey heard of it, he said, "It is the man of God who defied the word of the LORD. The LORD has given him over to the lion, which has mauled him and killed him, as the word of the LORD had warned him."
| |
| 27 | è€å…ˆçŸ¥å°±å©å’ä»–å…’å們說ã€ä½ 們為我備驢.他們就備了驢。
The prophet said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me," and they did so.
| |

Then he went out and found the body thrown down on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had neither eaten the body nor mauled the donkey.
| |

So the prophet picked 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.
| |
| 30 | 就把他的å±èº«è‘¬åœ¨è‡ªå·±çš„墳墓裡ã€å“€å“ä»–ã€èªªã€å“€å“‰ã€æˆ‘兄阿。
Then he laid the body in his own tomb, and they mourned over him and said, "Oh, my brother!"

After burying him, he said to his sons, "When I die, bury me in the grave where the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.
| |
| 32 | å› ç‚ºä»–å¥‰è€¶å’Œè¯çš„命指著伯特利的壇ã€å’Œæ’’瑪利亞å„城有邱壇之殿ã€æ‰€èªªçš„話ã€å¿…定應驗。
For the message he declared by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel and against all the shrines on the high places in the towns of Samaria will certainly come true."

Even after this, Jeroboam did not change his evil ways, but once more appointed priests for the high places from all sorts of people. Anyone who wanted to become a priest he consecrated for the high places.

This was the sin of the house of Jeroboam that led to its downfall and to its destruction from the face of the earth.
