1 Siangpahrang 11
1 Toe Solomon siangpahrang loe Faro canu pacoengah, kalah nongpata Moab kami, Ammon kami, Edom kami, Sidon kami hoi Hit kaminawk to a koeh.
King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh—women of Moab, Ammon, Edom, and Sidon, as well as Hittite women.
2 To nongpatanawk loe prae kalah kami ah oh o pongah, nihcae to zu haih hmah; na zu haih nahaeloe, nihcae mah angmacae ih sithawnawk khaeah na palungthin ang paqoi o ving tih, tiah Israel kaminawk khaeah thuih pae ih kami ah oh o. Toe Solomon loe to nongpatanawk to koeh khruek.
These women were from the nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, for surely they will turn your hearts after their gods.” Yet Solomon clung to these women in love.
3 Anih loe siangpahrang imthungah kaom zu cumvai sarihto hoi zula cumvai thumto tawnh; a zunawk mah anih ih poekhaih palungthin to amkhraeng o sak ving.
He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines—and his wives turned his heart away.
4 Solomon mitong na bangah loe a zunawk mah, kalah sithawnawk khaeah palungthin paqoi pae o ving; ampa David poekhaih palungthin baktiah, a poekhaih palungthin kakoep ah Angraeng khaeah caeh boih ai boeh.
For when Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and he was not wholeheartedly devoted to the LORD his God, as his father David had been.
5 Solomon loe Sidon kaminawk ih sithaw nongpata Ashtoreth hoi panuet thok Ammon kaminawk ih sithaw Milkom khaeah caeh.
Solomon followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
6 Solomon loe Angraeng mikhnuk ah kasae hmuen to sak; ampa David mah sak ih baktiah, Angraeng khaeah palungthin boih hoi caeh ai boeh.
So Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD; unlike his father David, he did not follow the LORD completely.
7 Solomon loe Jerusalem hmaa ah kaom mae nuiah, panuet thok Moab sithaw Khemosh hoi panuet thok Ammon kaminawk ih Molek sithaw hanah, hmuensang to sak pae.
At that time on a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab and for Molech the abomination of the Ammonites.
8 To tiah prae kalah zunawk boih hanah a sak pae; nihcae loe hmuihoih thlaek o moe, angmacae ih sithawnawk khaeah angbawnhaih to sak o.
He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9 Anih khaeah vai hnetto angphong, Israel Angraeng Sithaw khae hoi palungthin angqoi taak ving boeh pongah, Angraeng loe Solomon nuiah palungphui.
Now the LORD grew angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.
10 Kalah sithawnawk hnukah caeh han ai ah Solomon khaeah lokthuih pae, toe anih mah Angraeng mah paek ih lok to pakuem ai.
Although He had warned Solomon explicitly not to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD’s command.
11 Angraeng mah Solomon khaeah, Hae tiah na sak moe, kang paek ih lokkamhaih hoi kang paek ih daannawk to na pazui ai boeh pongah, na prae to ka phraek moe, na tamnanawk khaeah ka paek han boeh.
Then the LORD said to Solomon, “Because you have done this and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.
12 Toe nampa David pongah to hmuen to na hing thung ka sah mak ai; na capa ban thungah ka phraek han.
Nevertheless, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it during your lifetime; I will tear it out of the hand of your son.
13 Toe prae to ka phrae boih mak ai; ka tamna David hoi ka qoih ih Jerusalem pongah, acaeng maeto loe na capa khaeah ka paek han, tiah a naa.
Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom away from him. I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”
14 To naah Angraeng mah Edom siangpahrang imthung takoh kami ah kaom, Edom kami Hadad to Solomon han misa angthawksak.
Then the LORD raised up against Solomon an adversary, Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom.
15 David loe Edom prae ah oh naah, misatuh angraeng Joab mah Edom kami nongpa to hum boih moe, kadueh kaminawk aphum hanah caeh tahang;
Earlier, when David was in Edom, Joab the commander of the army had gone to bury the dead and had struck down every male in Edom.
16 Joab hoi Israel kaminawk boih to ah khrah tarukto thung oh o; Edom kami nongpanawk hum boih ai karoek to to ahmuen ah oh o.
Joab and all Israel had stayed there six months, until he had killed every male in Edom.
17 To nathuem ah Hadah loe nawkta ah ni oh vop, anih loe ampa ih tamna Edom angraeng thoemto kaminawk hoi Izip prae ah cawnh.
But Hadad, still just a young boy, had fled to Egypt, along with some Edomites who were servants of his father.
18 Midian prae hoiah angthawk moe, Paran prae ah a caeh o; to ahmuen hoiah Paran kaminawk to kawk o moe, Izip prae ah, Izip siangpahrang Faro khaeah phak o, siangpahrang mah Hadad to im maeto hoi long ahmuen to paek moe, caaknaek doeh a paek.
Hadad and his men set out from Midian and went to Paran. They took men from Paran with them and went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house and land and provided him with food.
19 Faro loe Hadad to palung parai pongah, a zu siangpahrang nongpata Tahpenes ih amnawk to zu ah a paek.
There Hadad found such great favor in the sight of Pharaoh that he gave to him in marriage the sister of Queen Tahpenes, his own wife.
20 Tahpenes ih amnawk loe caa nongpa maeto sak moe, Genubath, tiah ahmin sak; anih loe Tahpenes mah siangpahrang im ah tahnu amphisak; Genubath loe Faro imthung takoh ah Faro ih caanawk hoi nawnto oh.
And the sister of Tahpenes bore Hadad a son named Genubath. Tahpenes herself weaned him in Pharaoh’s palace, and Genubath lived there among the sons of Pharaoh.
21 Izip prae ah oh naah, David loe ampanawk khaeah anghak boeh moe, misatuh angraeng Joab doeh duek boeh, tiah Hadad mah thaih naah, Hadad mah Faro khaeah, Kaimah prae ah amlaemsak let lai ah, tiah a naa.
When Hadad heard in Egypt that David had rested with his fathers and that Joab, the commander of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, “Let me go, that I may return to my own country.”
22 Hae ah timaw angaihaih oh moe, nangmah prae ah amlaem let han na thuih, tiah Faro mah a naa. Hadah mah, Ka ngaihaih tidoeh om ai, toe amlaemsak rae ah, tiah a naa.
But Pharaoh asked him, “What have you lacked here with me that you suddenly want to go back to your own country?” “Nothing,” Hadad replied, “but please let me go.”
23 Sithaw mah Eliada capa Rezon to kalah Solomon ih misa ah angthawksak; anih loe angmah ih angraeng, Zobah siangpahrang Hadadezar khae hoi kaproeng ving kami ah oh;
And God raised up against Solomon another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Hadadezer king of Zobah,
24 anih mah ataeng ih kaminawk to kok moe, David mah Zobah ih misatuh kaminawk hum naah, anih loe misa angthawk abu zaehoikung ah oh; nihcae loe Damaska vangpui ah caeh o moe, vangpui to lak o pacoengah, to ah khosak o.
and had gathered men to himself. When David killed the Zobaites, Rezon captained a band of raiders and went to Damascus, where they settled and gained control.
25 Hadad loe raihaih paekkung ah oh khue ai ah, Solomon hing thung Rezon loe Israelnawk ih misa ah oh; Rezon mah Syria to uk moe, Israel kaminawk to hnukma.
Rezon was Israel’s enemy throughout the days of Solomon, adding to the trouble caused by Hadad. So Rezon ruled over Aram with hostility toward Israel.
26 Solomon ih tamna, Ephraim acaeng, Zereda avang ih kami, Neba capa Jeroboam mah doeh, siangpahrang to tuk; anih ih amno loe lamhmaih ah oh moe, Zeruah, tiah ahmin kawk o.
Now Jeroboam son of Nebat was an Ephraimite from Zeredah whose mother was a widow named Zeruah. Jeroboam was a servant of Solomon, but he rebelled against the king,
27 Solomon mah Millo vangpui to sak moe, ampa David ih kamro sipae to sak patomh let pongah, anih mah siangpahrang to tuk.
and this is the account of his rebellion against the king. Solomon had built the supporting terraces and repaired the gap in the wall of the city of his father David.
28 Jeroboam loe thacak parai misatuh kami ah oh; to thendoeng loe toksakhaih bangah tha pathok thaih kami ni, tiah Solomon mah hnuk naah, Joseph imthung takoh toksah zaehoikung ah a suek.
Now Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor. So when Solomon noticed that the young man was industrious, he put him in charge of the whole labor force of the house of Joseph.
29 To nathuem ah Jeroboam loe Jerusalem ah caeh, Shiloh ih tahmaaa Ahijah mah anih to loklam ah hnuk; anih loe khukbuen kangtha to angkhuk moe, Jeroboam to dawt, to naah angmah hnik bueng ni taw ah oh hoi;
During that time, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met Jeroboam on the road as he was going out of Jerusalem. Now Ahijah had wrapped himself in a new cloak, and the two of them were alone in the open field.
30 Ahijah loe angmah abuen ih khukbuen kangtha to hatlaihnetto ah a sih moe,
And Ahijah took hold of the new cloak he was wearing, tore it into twelve pieces,
31 Jeroboam khaeah, Nangmah hanah hato la ah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; Khenah, Solomon ban ah prae to ka phraek han, acaeng hato loe nang kang paek han.
and said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and I will give you ten tribes.
32 Toe ka tamna David hoi Israel acaengnawk boih thungah ka qoih ih, Jerusalem vangpui pongah, anih doeh acaeng maeto tawn toeng tih.
But one tribe will remain for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.
33 Kai ang pahnawt o moe, Sidon kaminawk ih sithaw nongpata Ashtoreth, Moab kaminawk ih sithaw Khemosh hoi Ammon kaminawk ih sithaw Milkom to bok o pongah, ka loklam ah caeh o ai; ka mikhnuk ah katoeng hmuen doeh sah o ai; Solomon ampa David baktiah, Ka paek ih daan hoi ka lok takroekhaihnawk doeh pazui o ai.
For they have forsaken Me to worship Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites. They have not walked in My ways, nor done what is right in My eyes, nor kept My statutes and judgments, as Solomon’s father David did.
34 Toe Solomon ih ban thung hoiah prae to ka la pae boih mak ai; ka lokpaekhaih hoi ka thuih ih lok pazui moe, ka qoih ih ka tamna David pongah, a hing thung ukkung ah ka sak han.
Nevertheless, I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon’s hand, because I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David My servant, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and statutes.
35 Toe a capa ban thung hoiah prae to ka lak moe, nang khaeah acaeng hato kang paek han.
But I will take ten tribes of the kingdom from the hand of his son and give them to you.
36 Ka hmin suek hanah ka qoih ih Jerusalem vangpui thungah, ka tamna David mah ka hmaa ah hmai paang poe thai hanah, a capa khaeah acaeng maeto ka paek han.
I will give one tribe to his son, so that My servant David will always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put My Name.
37 Toe nang to kang qoih han, Israel nuiah siangpahrang ah na om ueloe, na koeh baktiah na uk tih.
But as for you, I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your heart desires, and you will be king over Israel.
38 Kang paek ih loknawk boih na tahngaih moe, ka tamna David mah sak ih baktih toengah, ka caehhaih loklam ah na caeh; ka hmaa ah katoeng hmuen to na sak moe, ka mikhnuk ah katoeng hmuen to na sak nahaeloe, nang hoi nawnto ka oh moe, David hanah kacak im ka sak pae baktih toengah, nang hanah doeh kang sak pae moe, nang khaeah Israel to kang paek han.
If you listen to all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight in order to keep My statutes and commandments as My servant David did, then I will be with you. I will build you a lasting dynasty just as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.
39 Hae pongah David ih caanawk to patang ka khangsak; toe dungzan ah patang ka khangsak ai, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
Because of this, I will humble David’s descendants—but not forever.’”
40 Solomon mah Jeroboam hum hanah pakrong pongah, Jeroboam loe angthawk moe, Izip prae ah Shishak siangpahrang khaeah cawnh, Solomon duek khoek to to ah oh.
Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, where he remained until the death of Solomon.
41 Solomon siangpahrang ah oh nathung kaom hmuennawk, a sak ih hmuennawk hoi anih palunghahaihnawk boih loe, Solomon toksak pakuemhaih cabu thungah tarik o na ai maw?
As for the rest of the acts of Solomon—all that he did, as well as his wisdom—are they not written in the Book of the Acts of Solomon?
42 Solomon siangpahrang loe Israel kaminawk boih nuiah, Jerusalem ah saning quipalito thung siangpahrang ah oh.
Thus the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
43 To pacoengah ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, ampa David vangpui ah aphum o; anih zuengah a capa Rehoboam to siangpahrang ah oh.
And Solomon rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David. And his son Rehoboam reigned in his place.
