【王上13:1】 那时,有一个神人奉耶和华的命从犹大来到伯特利。耶罗波安正站在坛旁要烧香。
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.
【王上13:2】 神人奉耶和华的命向坛呼叫,说,坛哪,坛哪。耶和华如此说,大卫家里必生一个儿子,名叫约西亚,他必将丘坛的祭司,就是在你上面烧香的,杀在你上面,人的骨头也必烧在你上面。
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.
【王上13:3】 当日,神人设个预兆,说,这坛必破裂,坛上的灰必倾撒,这是耶和华说的预兆。
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.
【王上13:4】 耶罗波安王听见神人向伯特利的坛所呼叫的话,就从坛上伸手,说,拿住他吧。王向神人所伸的手就枯干了,不能弯回。
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.
【王上13:5】 坛也破裂了,坛上的灰倾撒了,正如神人奉耶和华的命所设的预兆。
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.
【王上13:6】 王对神人说,请你为我祷告,求耶和华你神的恩典使我的手复原。于是神人祈祷耶和华,王的手就复了原,仍如寻常一样。
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.
