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。

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.

“ 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.

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.

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 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. (niv)

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.By the word of the Lord he cried out against the altar:“ 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 make offerings here, and human bones will be burned on you.’”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.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.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.The king said to the man of God,“ Come home with me for a meal, and I will give you a gift.”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.’”So he took another road and did not return by the way he had come to Bethel.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.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 itand 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.So the prophet said to him,“ Come home with me and eat.”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.’”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.)So the man of God returned with him and ate and drank in his house.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.You came back and ate bread and drank water in the place where he told you not to eat or drink. Therefore your body will not be buried in the tomb of your ancestors.’” (niv)
