“ Leave it alone,” Josiah said.“ Don’t let anyone touch his bones.” So they spared his bones. They also spared the bones of the prophet who had come from the northern kingdom of Israel.

约西亚说：“由他吧！不要挪移他的骸骨。”他们就不动他的骸骨，也不动从撒玛利亚来那先知的骸骨。

约西亚说：“让他安息吧！不要挪移他的骸骨。”他们就保存了他的骸骨和从撒玛利亚来的那先知的骸骨。

约西亚说：“让他安息吧！不要挪移他的骸骨。”他们就保存了他的骸骨和从撒玛利亚来的那先知的骸骨。

他说：“不要动他，不要动他的尸骨。”于是，他们没有动那位先知和撒玛利亚来的先知的尸骨。

所以王说：“由他吧！不要让人动他的骨头。”于是他们没有碰他的骨头和那从撒玛利亚来的先知的骨头。

約西亞說：「由他吧！不要挪移他的骸骨。」他們就不動他的骸骨，也不動從撒馬利亞來那先知的骸骨。

他說：「不要動他，不要動他的屍骨。」於是，他們沒有動那位先知和撒瑪利亞來的先知的屍骨。

所以王說：“由他吧！不要讓人動他的骨頭。”於是他們沒有碰他的骨頭和那從撒瑪利亞來的先知的骨頭。

約西亞說：『由他吧；人都不要挪移他的骸骨。』於是人就不去動他的骸骨，也不去動那從撒瑪利亞來的神言人的骸骨。

約西亞曰、舍之、勿移其骨、遂舍之、亦舍自撒瑪利亞來之先知骨、

王曰、毋遷其骨、遂弗遷。撒馬利亞先知之骨亦弗遷。

約西亞曰、勿犯之、勿遷其骨、遂不遷其骨、亦不遷撒瑪利亞先知之骨、

“ Leave it alone,” he said.“ Don’t let anyone disturb his bones.” So they spared his bones and those of the prophet who had come from Samaria.

And he said,“ Let him be; let no man move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.

Josiah replied,“ Leave it alone. Don’t disturb his bones.” So they did not burn his bones or those of the old prophet from Samaria.

So he said,“ Let him rest. Don’t let anyone disturb his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.

And he said,“ Leave him alone; no one is to disturb his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.

And he said,“ Let him alone; let no one move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.

And he said, Let him be; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

So he said,“ Let him rest. Don’t let anyone disturb his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.

And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

The king said,“ Leave it alone! No one must touch his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed, as well as the bones of the Israelite prophet buried beside him.

He said,“ Let him be! Let no one move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.

After the old prophet had buried the man of God, he spoke to his sons. He said,“ When I die, bury me in the grave where the man of God is buried. Put my bones next to his bones.

A man of God went from Judah to Bethel. He had received a message from the Lord. He arrived in Bethel just as Jeroboam was standing by the altar to offer a sacrifice.The man cried out. He shouted a message from the Lord against the altar. He said,“ Altar! Altar! The Lord says,‘ A son named Josiah will be born into the royal family of David. Altar, listen to me! Josiah will sacrifice the priests of the high places on you. They will be the children of the priests who are offering sacrifices here. So human bones will be burned on you.’ ”That same day the man of God spoke about a miraculous sign. He said,“ Here is the sign the Lord has announced. This altar will be broken to pieces. The ashes on it will be spilled out.”The man of God announced that message against the altar at Bethel. When King Jeroboam heard it, he reached out his hand from the altar. He said,“ Grab him!” But as he reached out his hand toward the man, it dried up. He couldn’t even pull it back.Also, the altar broke into pieces. Its ashes spilled out. That happened in keeping with the miraculous sign the man of God had announced. He had received a message from the Lord.King Jeroboam spoke to the man of God. He said,“ Pray to the Lord your God for me. Pray that my hand will be as good as new again.” So the man of God prayed to the Lord for the king. And the king’s hand became as good as new. It was just as healthy as it had been before.The king said to the man of God,“ Come home with me for a meal. I’ll give you a gift.”But the man of God replied to the king. He said,“ What if you were to give me half of what you own? Even then I wouldn’t go with you. I wouldn’t eat bread or drink water here.The Lord gave me a command. He said,‘ Do not eat bread or drink water there. Do not return the same way you came.’ ”So he took another road. He didn’t go back on the same road he had taken when he came to Bethel.An old prophet was living in Bethel. His sons came and spoke to him. They told him everything the man of God had done there that day. They also told their father what the man had said to the king.Their father asked them,“ Which way did he go?” His sons showed him the road the man of God from Judah had taken.So he said to his sons,“ Put a saddle on the donkey for me.” When they had done it, he got on the donkey.He traveled on the same road the man of God had taken. He found the man sitting under an oak tree. He asked him,“ Are you the man of God who came from Judah?”“ I am,” he replied.So the prophet said to him,“ Come home with me. I’ll give you something to eat.”The man of God said,“ I can’t go back to Bethel with you. I can’t eat bread or drink water with you there.I’ve received a message from the Lord. He told me,‘ Do not eat bread or drink water there. Do not return the same way you came.’ ”The old prophet answered,“ I’m also a prophet, just like you. An angel gave me a message from the Lord. The message said,‘ Bring the man of God back with you to your house. Then he can eat bread and drink water with you.’ ” But the old prophet was telling him a lie.The man of God returned with him. He ate and drank in his house.They were sitting at the table. The Lord gave a message to the old prophet who had brought the man of God back.He cried out to the man who had come from Judah. He told him,“ The Lord says,‘ You have not done what I told you to do. You have not obeyed the command I gave you. I am the Lord your God.You came back here and ate bread and drank water. You did it in the place where I told you not to. So your body will not be buried in your family tomb.’ ”
