The Latin Vulgate VUL
1 And lo! a man of God came from Judah, by the word of the Lord, into Bethel, while Jeroboam stood upon the altar, casting incense (while Jeroboam stood by the altar, throwing incense).
1
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, and said, Altar! altar! the Lord saith these things, Lo! a son, Josiah by name, shall be born to the house of David; and he shall offer upon thee the priests of (the) high things, the which burn now incense in thee, and he shall burn the bones of men upon thee (and he shall offer upon thee the priests of the hill shrines, who now burn incense upon thee, and he shall burn men's bones upon thee).
2
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 And he gave a sign in that day, and said, This shall be the sign that the Lord spake, Lo! the altar shall be cut, and the ash which is therein, shall be shed out. (And he gave a sign on that day, and said, This shall be the sign that the Lord spoke, Lo! the altar shall be split open, and the ashes that are upon it, shall be poured out.)
3
deditque in die illa signum dicens hoc erit signum quod locutus est Dominus ecce altare scinditur et effunditur cinis qui in eo est
4 And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried against the altar in Bethel, the king held forth his hand from the altar, and said, Take ye him. And his hand dried (up), which he had held forth, and he might not draw it again to himself.
4
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 Also the altar was cut, and the ash was shed out of the altar, by the sign which the man of God before-said, in the word of the Lord. (And the altar was split open, and the ashes were poured out of the altar, by the sign which the man of God had foretold, by the word of the Lord.)
5
altare quoque scissum est et effusus cinis de altari iuxta signum quod praedixerat vir Dei in sermone Domini
6 And the king said to the man of God, Beseech thou (before) the face of the Lord thy God, and pray thou for me, that mine hand be restored to me. And the man of God prayed (before) the face of the Lord; and the hand of the king turned again to him (and the king's hand was restored to him), and it was made as it was before.
6
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 And the king spake to the man of God, (and said,) Come thou home with me, that thou eat, and I shall give gifts to thee.
7
locutus est autem rex ad virum Dei veni mecum domum ut prandeas et dabo tibi munera
8 And the man of God said to the king, Though thou shalt give to me the half part of thine house, I shall not come with thee, neither I shall eat bread, neither I shall drink water in this place.
8
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 so it was commanded to me by the word of the Lord, commanding, Thou shalt not eat bread, neither thou shalt drink water, neither thou shalt turn again by the way by which thou camest.
9
sic enim mandatum est mihi in sermone Domini praecipientis non comedes panem neque bibes aquam nec reverteris per viam qua venisti
10 Therefore he went by another way, and turned not again by the way, by which he came into Bethel.
10
abiit ergo per aliam viam et non est reversus per iter quo venerat in Bethel
11 Forsooth an eld prophet dwelled then in Bethel, to whom his sons came, and told to him all the works which the man of God had done in that day in Bethel; and they [also] told to their father the words which he spake to the king.
11
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 And the father of them said to them, By what way went he? His sons showed to him the way, by which the man of God went, that came from Judah (who came from Judah).
12
et dixit eis pater eorum per quam viam abiit ostenderunt ei filii sui viam per quam abierat vir Dei qui venerat de Iuda
13 And he said to his sons, Saddle ye an ass to me. And when they had saddled the ass, he went up, (And he said to his sons, Saddle ye up a donkey for me. And when they had saddled up the donkey, he rode on it,)
13
et ait filiis suis sternite mihi asinum qui cum stravissent ascendit
14 and went after the man of God, and found him sitting under a terebinth. And he said to the man of God, Whether thou art the man of God, that camest from Judah? He answered, I am.
14
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 And he said to him, Come thou with me home, that thou eat bread. (And he said to him, Come thou home with me, so that thou can eat some bread.)
15
dixit ad eum veni mecum domum ut comedas panem
16 And he said, I may not turn again (I cannot return), neither come with thee, neither I shall eat bread, neither I shall drink water in this place;
16
qui ait non possum reverti neque venire tecum nec comedam panem nec bibam aquam in loco isto
17 for the Lord spake to me in the word of the Lord (for the Lord spoke to me by the word of the Lord), and said, Thou shalt not eat bread, and thou shalt not drink water there, neither thou shalt turn again by the way by which thou wentest thither.
17
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 And he said to him, And I am a prophet like thee; and an angel spake to me by the word of the Lord, and said, Lead again him into thine house, that he eat bread, and drink water (Bring him back to thy house, so that he can eat some food, and drink some water). (But) He deceived the man of God,
18
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 and brought him (back) again with him. Therefore he ate bread in his house, and drank water.
19
et reduxit secum comedit ergo panem in domo eius et bibit aquam
20 And when he sat at the table, the word of the Lord was made to the prophet that brought him (back) again;
20
cumque sederent ad mensam factus est sermo Domini ad prophetam qui reduxerat eum
21 and he cried [out] to the man of God that came from Judah, and said, The Lord saith these things, For thou obeyedest not to the mouth of the Lord, and keptest not the commandment which thy Lord God commanded to thee,
21
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 and thou turnedest (back) again, and atest bread, and drankest water in the place in which I commanded to thee, that thou shouldest not eat bread, neither shouldest drink water, thy dead body shall not be borne into the sepulchre of thy fathers.
22
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 when he had eaten and drunk, the prophet, whom he had brought again, saddled his ass (the prophet, whom he had brought back, saddled up his donkey).
23
cumque comedisset et bibisset stravit asinum prophetae quem reduxerat
24 And when he had gone forth, a lion found him in the way, and killed him. And his dead body was cast forth in the way; soothly the ass stood beside him, and the lion also stood beside the dead body. (And when he had gone forth, a lion found him on the way, and killed him. And his dead body was thrown down on the way; and the donkey stood beside him, and the lion also stood beside his dead body.)
24
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 lo! men passing saw the dead body cast forth in the way (And lo! men passing by saw the dead body thrown down on the way), and the lion standing beside the dead body; and they came, and published it in the city, in which the eld prophet dwelled.
25
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 And when that prophet, that brought him (back) again from the way, had heard this, he said, It is the man of God, that was unobedient to the mouth of God; and the Lord betook him to the lion, that hath broken him, and killed him, by the word of the Lord which he spake to him.
26
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 And he said to his sons, Saddle ye an ass to me (Saddle ye up a donkey for me). And when they had saddled (it up),
27
dixitque ad filios suos sternite mihi asinum qui cum stravissent
28 and he had gone, he found his dead body cast forth in the way, and the ass and the lion standing beside the dead body; and the lion ate not the dead body, neither hurted the ass. (and he had gone there, he found his dead body thrown down on the way, and the donkey and the lion standing beside the dead body; and the lion had not eaten the dead body, nor had hurt the donkey.)
28
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 Therefore the prophet took the dead body of the man of God, and put it on the ass; and he turned again, and brought it into the city of the eld prophet, that he should bewail him. (And so the prophet took the dead body of the man of God, and put it on his donkey; and then the old prophet returned, and brought the body back to the city, so that he could bewail, or mourn, him.)
29
tulit ergo prophetes cadaver viri Dei et posuit illud super asinum et reversus intulit in civitatem prophetae senis ut plangerent eum
30 And he put his dead body in his (own) sepulchre, and they bewailed him, and said, Alas! alas! my brother!
30
et posuit cadaver eius in sepulchro suo et planxerunt eum heu frater
31 And when they had bewailed him, he said to his sons, When I shall be dead (When I shall die), bury me in the sepulchre, in which the man of God is buried; put ye my bones beside his bones.
31
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 soothly the word shall come, which he before-said in the word of the Lord, against the altar that is in Bethel, and against all the temples of [the] high places, which be in the cities of Samaria. (For truly the word shall come to pass, which he foretold by the word of the Lord, against the altar that is in Bethel, and against all the temples of the hill shrines, which be in the cities of Samaria.)
32
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 After these words Jeroboam turned not again from his worst way, but on the contrary, of the last of the people he made priests of (the) high places; whoever would, [he] fulfilled his hand, and he was made [a] priest of (the) high places. (And after this thing Jeroboam turned not away from his worst ways, but on the contrary, he made priests for the hill shrines from the lowest people; yea, whoever desired it, he consecrated him, and he was made a priest of the hill shrines.)
33
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 for this cause the house of Jeroboam sinned, and it was destroyed, and done away from the face of the earth.
34
et propter hanc causam peccavit domus Hieroboam et eversa est et deleta de superficie terrae
