1 Mafumu 11
1 Komatu Mfumu Solomoni anakonda akazi ambiri achilendo ndipo kuwonjezera pa mwana wamkazi wa Farao, analinso ndi akazi a mitundu iyi: Amowabu, Aamoni, Aedomu, Asidoni, ndi Ahiti.
And king Solomon was a lover of women. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. And he took strange women, as well as the daughter of Pharao, Moabitish, Ammanitish women, Syrians and Idumeans, Chettites, and Amorites;
2 Akazi amenewa anali ochokera ku mitundu ija imene Yehova anawuza Aisraeli kuti, “Simuyenera kudzakwatirana nawo amenewa, chifukwa ndithu, amenewa adzatembenuza mitima yanu kuti mutsatire milungu yawo.” Komabe Solomoni anawakonda kwambiri akazi amenewa.
of the nations concerning whom the Lord forbade the children of Israel, [saying], You shall not go in to them, and they shall not come in to you, lest they turn away your hearts after their idols: Solomon clave to these in love.
3 Iye anali ndi akazi 700 ochokera ku mabanja achifumu ndi azikazi 300 ndipo akaziwo anamusocheretsa.
4 Solomoni atakalamba, akazi akewo anakopa mtima wake kuti atsatire milungu ina, ndipo sanatsatire Yehova Mulungu wake ndi mtima wodzipereka, monga unalili mtima wa Davide abambo ake.
And it came to pass in the time of the old age of Solomon, that his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as [was] the heart of David his father. And the strange women turned away his heart after their gods. Then Solomon built a high place to Chamos the idol of Moab, and to their king the idol of the children of Ammon,
5 Pakuti iye ankapembedza Asitoreti, mulungu wamkazi wa Asidoni, ndiponso Moleki mulungu wonyansa wa Aamoni.
and to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians.
6 Kotero Solomoni anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova. Sanatsatire Yehova kwathunthu monga anachitira Davide abambo ake.
And thus he acted towards all his strange wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their idols. And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he went not after the Lord, as David his father.
7 Pa phiri la kummawa kwa Yerusalemu, anamanga malo opembedzerapo Kemosi, mulungu wonyansa wa Mowabu, ndiponso malo a Moleki, mulungu wonyansa wa Aamoni.
8 Iye anamangiranso malo oterewa akazi ake onse achilendo, amene amafukiza lubani ndi kumapereka nsembe kwa milungu yawo.
9 Choncho Yehova anakwiyira Solomoni chifukwa mtima wake unatembenuka kuchoka kwa Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, amene anamuonekera kawiri konse.
And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because he turned away his heart from the Lord God of Israel, who had appeared twice to him,
10 Ngakhale kuti Yehova anamuletsa Solomoni kutsatira milungu ina, iyeyo sanamvere lamulo la Yehova.
and charged him concerning this matter, by no means to go after other gods, but to take heed to do what the Lord God commanded him; neither was his heart perfect with the Lord, according to the heart of David his father.
11 Pamenepo Yehova anati kwa Solomoni, “Popeza mtima wako ndi wotere ndipo sunasunge pangano langa ndi malamulo anga amene ndinakuwuza, ndithudi, Ine ndidzawugawa ufumuwu kuwuchotsa kwa iwe ndi kuwupereka kwa mmodzi mwa atumiki ako.
And the Lord said to Solomon, Because it has been thus with you, and you have not kept my commandments and my ordinances which I commanded you, I will surely rend your kingdom out of your hand, and give it to your servant.
12 Koma chifukwa cha Davide abambo ako, sindidzachita zimenezi iwe uli moyo. Ndidzawugawa mʼdzanja la mwana wako.
Only in your days I will not do it for David your father's sake: [but] I will take it out of the hand of your son.
13 Komabe sindidzamulanda ufumu wonse, koma ndidzamusiyira fuko limodzi chifukwa cha mtumiki wanga Davide ndiponso chifukwa cha Yerusalemu, mzinda umene ndinawusankha.”
Only I will not take away the whole kingdom: I will give one tribe to your son for David my servant's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen.
14 Ndipo Yehova anamuutsira Solomoni mdani, Hadadi Mwedomu, wochokera ku banja laufumu ku Edomu.
And the Lord raised up an enemy to Solomon, Ader the Idumaean, and Esrom son of Eliadae who [lived] in Raama, [and] Adadezer king of Suba his master; (and men gathered to him, and he was head of the conspiracy, and he seized on Damasec, ) and they were adversaries to Israel all the days of Solomon: and Ader the Idumaean [was] of the seed royal in Idumaea.
15 Kale pamene Davide ankachita nkhondo ndi Aedomu, Yowabu mkulu wa ankhondo, amene anapita kukakwirira Aisraeli akufa, anakantha amuna onse ku Edomu.
And it happened, that while David was utterly destroying Edom, while Joab captain of the host was going to bury the dead, when they killed every male in Idumaea;
16 Yowabu ndi Aisraeli onse anakhala kumeneko miyezi isanu ndi umodzi mpaka anawononga amuna onse a ku Edomu.
(for Joab and all Israel abode there six months in Idumaea, until he utterly destroyed every male in Idumaea; )
17 Koma Hadadi akanali mwana anathawira ku Igupto pamodzi ndi akuluakulu ena a ku Edomu amene ankatumikira abambo ake.
that Ader ran away, he and all the Idumaeans of the servants of his father with him; and they went into Egypt; and Ader [was then] a little child.
18 Iwo ananyamuka ku Midiya ndi kupita ku Parani. Ndipo anatenga amuna ena ku Paraniko, napita nawo ku Igupto, kwa Farao mfumu ya Igupto, amene anamupatsa nyumba, malo ndiponso chakudya.
And there rise up men out of the city of Madiam, and they come to Pharan, and take men with them, and come to Pharao king of Egypt: and Ader went in to Pharao, and he gave him a house, and appointed him provision.
19 Farao anamukomera mtima Hadadi ndipo anamupatsa mkazi amene anali mngʼono wake wa Mfumukazi Tahipenesi.
And Ader found great favour in the sight of Pharao, and he gave him his wife's sister in marriage, the elder sister of Thekemina.
20 Mngʼono wake wa Tahipenesi anabereka mwana wamwamuna ndipo anamutcha Genubati, amene analeredwa mʼnyumba yaufumu ndi Tahipenesi. Genubatiyo ankakhala limodzi ndi ana a Farao.
And the sister of Thekemina bore to him, [even] to Ader, Ganebath her son; and Thekemina brought him up in the midst of the sons of Pharao, and Ganebath was in the midst of the sons of Pharao.
21 Ali ku Iguptoko, Hadadi anamva kuti Davide ndi Yowabu anamwalira. Pamenepo Hadadi anati kwa Farao, “Loleni ndichoke kuti ndibwerere ku dziko la kwathu.”
And Ader heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead; and Ader said to Pharao, Let me go, and I will return to my country.
22 Farao anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ukusowa chiyani kuno kuti ufune kubwerera ku dziko la kwanu?” Hadadi anayankha kuti, “Palibe chimene ndikusowa, koma loleni kuti ndichoke!”
And Pharao said to Ader, What lack you with me? that behold! you seek to depart to your country? and Ader said to him, By all means let me go.
23 Ndipo Mulungu anawutsira Solomoni mdani wina, Rezoni mwana wa Eliada, amene anali atathawa mbuye wake, Hadadezeri mfumu ya ku Zoba.
So Ader returned to his country; this [is] the mischief which Ader did, and he was a bitter enemy of Israel, and he reigned in the land of Edom.
24 Iye anasonkhanitsa anthu ndipo anali mtsogoleri wa anthu owukira pamene Davide anapha ankhondo a ku Zoba. Anthu owukirawa anapita ku Damasiko, nakakhala kumeneko ndi kuyamba kulamulira.
25 Rezoni anali mdani wa Israeli pa masiku onse a Solomoni, kuwonjezera pa mavuto amene ankabweretsa Hadadi. Kotero Rezoni ankalamulira ku Aramu ndipo ankadana ndi Israeli.
26 Yeroboamu, mwana wa Nebati anawukiranso mfumu. Iye anali mmodzi mwa akuluakulu a Solomoni wa fuko la Efereimu, wa ku Zeredi, ndipo amayi ake anali Zeruya, mkazi wamasiye.
And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the Ephrathite of Sarira, the son of a widow, [was] servant of Solomon.
27 Nkhani ya kuwukira kwa Yeroboamu inali yotere: Solomoni anamanga malo a chitetezo a Milo ndipo anakonza khoma logumuka la mzinda wa Davide, abambo ake.
And this [was] the occasion of his lifting up [his] hands against king Solomon: now king Solomon built the citadel, he completed the fortification of the city of David his father.
28 Tsono Yeroboamu anali munthu wamphamvu kwambiri ndipo Solomoni ataona kuti mnyamatayo amadziwa kugwira ntchito bwino, anamuyika kukhala woyangʼanira anthu a ntchito onse a nyumba ya Yosefe.
And the man Jeroboam was very strong; and Solomon saw the young man that he was active, and he set him over the levies of the house of Joseph.
29 Tsiku lina Yeroboamu ali pa ulendo kuchokera ku Yerusalemu, anakumana ndi mneneri Ahiya pa msewu, ndipo Ahiyayo anali atavala mwinjiro watsopano. Awiriwo anali okha kuthengoko,
And it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went forth from Jerusalem, and Achia the Selonite the prophet found him in the way, and caused him to turn aside out of the way: and Achia was clad with a new garment, and they two [were] alone in the field.
30 ndipo Ahiya anagwira mwinjiro watsopano umene anavala ndi kuwungʼamba zidutswa 12.
And Achia laid hold of his new garment that was upon him, and tore it [into] twelve pieces:
31 Tsono iye anati kwa Yeroboamu, “Tenga zidutswa khumi, pakuti Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Taona, Ine ndidzachotsa ufumu mʼdzanja la Solomoni ndipo ndidzakupatsa iwe mafuko khumi.
and he said to Jeroboam, Take to yourself ten pieces, for thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give you ten tribes.
32 Koma chifukwa cha mtumiki wanga Davide ndiponso mzinda wa Yerusalemu, umene ndinawusankha pakati pa mafuko a Israeli, iye adzakhala ndi fuko limodzi lokha.
Yet he shall have two tribes, for my servant David's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.
33 Ndidzachita zimenezi chifukwa wandisiya Ine ndi kupembedza Asitoreti mulungu wamkazi wa Asidoni, Kemosi mulungu wa Amowabu ndiponso Moleki mulungu wa Aamoni, ndipo sanayende mʼnjira yanga, kapena kusunga mawu anga ndi malamulo anga monga anachitira Davide abambo ake.
Because he forsook me, and sacrificed to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos, and to the idols of Moab, and to their king the abomination of the children of Ammon, and he walked not in my ways, to do that which was right before me, as David his father [did].
34 “‘Koma sindidzalanda ufumu wonse mʼdzanja la Solomoni. Ine ndamuyika kukhala wolamulira masiku onse a moyo wake chifukwa cha mtumiki wanga Davide, amene ndinamusankha ndiponso amene anamvera malamulo anga ndi mawu anga.
Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, (for I will certainly resist him all the days of his life, ) for David my servant's sake, whom I have chosen.
35 Ndidzalanda ufumu mʼdzanja la mwana wake ndipo ndidzakupatsa iwe mafuko khumi.
But I will take the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and give you ten tribes.
36 Ndidzapereka fuko limodzi kwa mwana wake ndi cholinga choti Davide mtumiki wanga adzakhale nyale nthawi zonse pamaso panga mu Yerusalemu, mzinda umene ndinawusankha kuyikamo Dzina langa.
But to his son I will give the two [remaining] tribes, that my servant David may have an establishment continually before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.
37 Koma kunena za iwe, ndidzakutenga ndipo udzalamulira chilichonse chimene mtima wako ukukhumba; udzakhala mfumu ya Israeli.
And I will take you, and you shall reign as your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel.
38 Ngati udzamvera zonse zimene ndidzakulamula ndi kuyenda mʼnjira yanga ndi kuchita zabwino pamaso panga, posunga malamulo anga ndi mawu anga monga anachitira Davide mtumiki wanga, Ine ndidzakhala nawe. Ndidzakupatsa ufumu umene udzakhala wokhazikika monga ndinamupatsira Davide, ndipo Ine ndidzakupatsa Israeli.
And it shall come to pass, if you will keep all the commandments that I shall give you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right before me, to keep my ordinances and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built to David.
39 Ine ndidzalanga zidzukulu za Davide chifukwa cha zimenezi, koma osati kwamuyaya.’”
40 Solomoni anafunitsitsa kupha Yeroboamu, koma Yeroboamu anathawira ku Igupto, kwa Sisaki mfumu ya Igupto ndipo anakhala kumeneko mpaka Solomoni atamwalira.
And Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose and fled into Egypt, to Susakim king of Egypt, and he was in Egypt until Solomon died.
41 Ntchito zina za Solomoni, zonse zomwe anachita komanso za nzeru zake, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya Solomoni?
And the rest of the history of Solomon, and all that he did, and all his wisdom, behold are not these things written in the book of the life of Solomon?
42 Solomoni analamulira Aisraeli onse mu Yerusalemu kwa zaka makumi anayi.
And the days [during] which Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [were] forty years.
43 Ndipo anagona ndi makolo ake nayikidwa mʼmanda mu mzinda wa Davide abambo ake. Ndipo Rehobowamu mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo ake.
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father, and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
