1 Manghai 11

1 Solomon manghai loh Pharaoh canu phoeiah khaw Moab, Ammoni, Edom, Sidoni, Khitti neh kholong tom kah huta te a lungnah.

Now a number of strange women were loved by Solomon, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:

2 Namtom rhoek lamkah te tah BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek taengah, “Amih te paan uh boel lamtah amih khaw nangmih taengah ha kun boel saeh. Na thinko te amih kah pathen hnukah buung uh ve,” a ti lalah Solomon loh amih taengah lungnah neh kaibaeng.

The nations of which the Lord had said to the children of Israel, You are not to take wives from them and they are not to take wives from you; or they will certainly make you go after their gods: to these Solomon was united in love.

3 Anih taengah a yuu la boeinu ya rhih neh yula ya thum om tih a yuu rhoek loh anih kah lungbuei te a buung sak.

He had seven hundred wives, daughters of kings, and three hundred other wives; and through his wives his heart was turned away.

4 Solomon te a patong tue a pha vaengah tah a thinko te a yuu rhoek loh pathen tloe rhoek taengla a buung sak coeng dongah a thinko loh a napa David kah thinko bangla a Pathen Yahweh taengah rhuemtuet la om pawh.

For it came about that when Solomon was old, his heart was turned away to other gods by his wives; and his heart was no longer true to the Lord his God as the heart of his father David had been.

5 Solomon te Sidoni kah pathen Ashtoreth hnuk neh Ammoni kah sarhingkoi Milkom hnukah cet.

For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Milcom, the disgusting god of the Ammonites.

6 Solomon loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii dongah a napa David bangla BOEIPA hnuk kae pawh.

And Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not walking in the Lord's ways with all his heart as David his father did.

7 Solomon loh Jerusalem imdan kah tlang ah Moab kah sarhingkoi Khemosh ham neh Ammon koca rhoek kah sarhingkoi Molek ham te hmuensang a thoh pah.

Then Solomon put up a high place for Chemosh, the disgusting god of Moab, in the mountain before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the disgusting god worshipped by the children of Ammon.

8 Te tlam te kholong nu a yuu rhoek boeih ham khaw a saii pah dongah amamih kah pathen rhoek taengah phum uh tih nawn uh.

And so he did for all his strange wives, who made offerings with burning of perfumes to their gods.

9 A taengah voei nit a phoe lalah Israel Pathen Yahweh taeng lamloh a thinko a maelh dongah BOEIPA he Solomon taengah a thintoek.

And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had twice come to him in a vision;

10 Pathen tloe rhoek taengah pongpa pawt ham he ol he a taengah a uen lalah BOEIPA kah a uen te ngaithuen pawh.

And had given him orders about this very thing, that he was not to go after other gods; but he did not keep the orders of the Lord.

11 Te dongah BOEIPA Solomon te, “Na taengah he he a om vanbangla, nang taengah kang uen ka paipi neh ka khosing khaw na ngaithuen moenih. Ram he nang dong lamloh ka phen rhoe ka phen vetih na sal taengah ka paek ni.

So the Lord said to Solomon, Because you have done this, and have not kept my agreement and my laws, which I gave you, I will take the kingdom away from you by force and will give it to your servant.

12 Tedae na pa David kongah namah tue ah ka saii pawt vetih na capa kut lamlong tah ka phen ni.

I will not do it in your life-time, because of your father David, but I will take it from your son.

13 Tedae ram pum he ka phen mahpawh. Ka sal David ham neh ka coelh Jerusalem ham na capa taengah koca pakhat ka paek ni,” a ti nah.

Still I will not take all the kingdom from him; but I will give one tribe to your son, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town of my selection.

14 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Solomon taengah Satan la Edom kah manghai tiingan lamloh Edom Hadad te a tlung sak.

So the Lord sent Hadad the Edomite to make trouble for Solomon: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

15 David he Edom taengah om tih rhok up hamla caempuei mangpa Joab a caeh vaengah Edom ah tongpa te boeih a ngawn.

And when David had sent destruction on Edom, and Joab, the captain of the army, had gone to put the dead into the earth, and had put to death every male in Edom;

16 Edom ah tongpa boeih a ngawn hil Joab neh Israel pum boeih hla rhuk pahoi om uh.

(For Joab and all Israel were there six months till every male in Edom had been cut off; )

17 Tedae Hadad amah neh a taengkah a napa sal rhoek lamkah Edom hlang rhoek tah yong uh tih Egypt la pawk uh. Te vaengah Hadad tah camoe ca pueng.

Hadad, being still a young boy, went in flight to Egypt, with certain Edomites, servants of his father;

18 Midian lamloh thoo uh tih Paran la pawk uh. Te vaengah a taengkah hlang rhoek te Paran lamloh a khuen uh tih Egypt kah Egypt manghai Pharaoh taengah cet uh. Te dongah anih te im a paek, amah lamloh buh a paek tih khohmuen khaw anih a paek.

And they went on from Midian and came to Paran; and, taking men from Paran with them, they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who gave him a house and gave orders for his food and gave him land.

19 Hadad te Pharaoh mik ah mikdaithen la muep a hmuh. Te dongah anih te yuu la amah yuu mana, manghainu Tahpenes mana te a paek.

Now Hadad was very pleasing to Pharaoh, so that he gave him the sister of his wife, Tahpenes the queen, for his wife.

20 Tahpenes mana loh anih ham te a capa Genubath a sak pah. Tedae Tahpenes loh Pharaoh im khui ah a khut pah dongah Genubath khaw Pharaoh im kah Pharaoh ca rhoek lakli ah om.

And the sister of Tahpenes had a son by him, Genubath, whom Tahpenes took care of in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was living in Pharaoh's house among Pharaoh's sons.

21 David tea napa rhoek neh khoem uh coeng tih caempuei mangpa Joab a duek te Hadad loh Egypt ah a yaak. Te dongah Hadad loh Pharaoh taengah, “Kai n'tueih mai lamtah kamah khohmuen la ka mael pawn eh,” a ti nah.

Now when Hadad had news in Egypt that David had been put to rest with his fathers, and that Joab, the captain of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, Send me back to my country.

22 Te vaengah Pharaoh loh anih te, “Kai taengah balae na nai bal pueng tih namah khohmuen la caeh ham na ngaih he?” a ti nah. Tedae, “Vawt pawt dae kai he nan tueih rhoe nan tueih mai mako,” a ti nah.

But Pharaoh said to him, What have you been short of while you have been with me, that you are desiring to go back to your country? And he said, Nothing; but even so, send me back.

23 Pathen loh Solomon taengah a boei Zobah manghai Hadadezer taeng lamloh aka yong Eliada capa Rezon te khingkhoekkung la a tlung sak.

And God sent another trouble-maker, Rezon, the son of Eliada, who had gone in flight from his lord, Hadadezer, king of Zobah:

24 Te vaengah a taengah hlang a coi tih caem mangpa la om. David loh amih te a ngawn ham vaengah tah Damasku la cet tih a khuiah kho a sak uh dongah Damasku ah manghai uh.

He got some men together and made himself captain of a band of outlaws; and went to Damascus and became king there.

25 Hadad he a boethae hman ah Solomon tue khuiah tah Israel taengah khingkhoekkung la tlung. Israel taengah a mueipuel doela Aram ah manghai.

He was a trouble to Israel all through the days of Solomon. And this is the damage Hadad did: he was cruel to Israel while he was ruler over Edom.

26 Solomon kah sal, Zeredah lamkah Ephraim Nebat capa Jeroboam, a manu ming nuhmai nu Zeruah, long khaw manghai te kut a thueng thil.

And there was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was Zeruah, a widow; and his hand was lifted up against the king.

27 A napa David khopuei kah a puut te a bing neh vaikhap a sak dongkah ol ah ni manghai Solomon te kut a thueng thil.

The way in which his hand came to be lifted up against the king was this: Solomon was building the Millo and making good the damaged parts of the town of his father David;

28 Jeroboam tah a hlang khaw tatthai hlangrhalh la om. Te dongah Solomon te camoe kah bitat a saii te a hmuh vaengah Joseph im kah hnorhih boeih te anih a soep sak.

And Jeroboam was an able and responsible man; and Solomon saw that he was a good worker and made him overseer of all the work given to the sons of Joseph.

29 A tue a pha vaengah Jeroboam te Jerusalem lamloh a caeh hatah tonghma Shiloh Ahijah loh longpueng ah a mah. Te vaengah himbai thai neh yol uh tih amih rhoi bueng te lohma ah om rhoi.

Now at that time, when Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite came across him on the road; now Ahijah had put on a new robe; and the two of them were by themselves in the open country.

30 Ahijah loh a pum dongkah himbai thai te a tuuk tih a hnipen hlai nit la a phen.

And Ahijah took his new robe in his hands, parting it violently into twelve.

31 Te phoeiah Jeroboam te, “Hnipen parha he namah ham khuen laeh. Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Ram he Solomon kut lamloh ka phen tih nang taengah koca parha kam paek.

And he said to Jeroboam, Take ten of the parts, for this is what the Lord has said: See, I will take the kingdom away from Solomon by force, and will give ten tribes to you;

32 Tedae ka sal David kong neh Israel koca boeih lamloh ka coelh Jerusalem khopuei kongah anih ham koca pakhat om ni.

(But one tribe will be his, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town which, out of all the tribes of Israel, I have made mine, )

33 Kai n'toeng uh tih Sidoni pathen Ashtoreth taengah, Moab pathen Khemosh taengah, Ammon ca rhoek kah pathen Milkom taengah bakop uh. A napa David bangla ka khosing, ka laitloeknah neh ka mik ah thuem saii ham khaw ka longpuei ah pongpa uh pawh.

Because they are turned away from me to the worship of Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the Ammonites; they have not been walking in my ways or doing what is right in my eyes or keeping my laws and my decisions as his father David did.

34 Tedae ram pum he anih kut lamloh ka bong mahpawh. Ka olpaek neh ka khosing a ngaithuen dongah amah ka coelh ka sal David kongah a hingnah tue khuiah khoboei la anih ka khueh pueng.

But I will not take the kingdom from him; I will let him be king all the days of his life, because of David my servant, in whom I took delight because he kept my orders and my laws.

35 A capa kut lamlong tah ram he ka loh vetih nang taengah koca parha kam paek ni.

But I will take the kingdom from his son, and give it to you.

36 Te dongah a capa te koca pakhat ka paek ni. Te daengah ni Jerusalem khopuei kah ka mikhmuh ah hnin takuem ka sal David kah hmaithoi a om eh. Te tah kamah ham ka ming pahoi khueh ham ka coelh.

And one tribe I will give to his son, so that David my servant may have a light for ever burning before me in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine to put my name there.

37 Nang te kan loh vaengah na hinglu kah a sahnaih boeih soah na manghai vetih Israel soah manghai la na om ni.

And you I will take, and you will be king over Israel, ruling over whatever is the desire of your soul.

38 Nang kang uen boeih te na hnatun tih ka longpuei ah na pongpa atah, ka sal David loh a saii bangla ka khosing neh ka olpaek ngaithuen ham ka mikhmuh ah a thuem mah saii. Te daengah ni nang taengah ka om vetih David ham ka thoh pah bangla uepom imkhui te nang ham kan thoh eh. Te vaengah Israel te nang taengah kam paek ni.

And if you give attention to the orders I give you, walking in my ways and doing what is right in my eyes and keeping my laws and my orders as David my servant did; then I will be with you, building up for you a safe house, as I did for David, and I will give Israel to you.

39 He dongah he David tiingan te ka phaep ni. Tedae hnin takuem moenih,” a ti nah.

(So that I may send trouble for this on the seed of David, but not for ever.)

40 Solomon loh Jeroboam te duek sak ham a mae dae Jeroboam te thoo tih Egypt kah Egypt manghai Shishak taengla yong. Te dongah Solomon a dueknah rhi hil Egypt ah om.

And Solomon was looking for a chance to put Jeroboam to death; but he went in flight to Egypt, to Shishak, king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till the death of Solomon.

41 Solomon kah a ol coih khaw, a saii boeih neh a cueihnah khaw, amih loh Solomon kah olka cabu ah daek uh pawt nim?

Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all he did, and his wisdom, are they not recorded in the book of the acts of Solomon?

42 Jerusalem kah Israel boeih soah Solomon kah a manghai tue te kum sawmli lo.

And the time Solomon was king in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

43 Solomon te a napa rhoek taengla khoem uh tih a napa David khopuei ah a up phoeiah tah anih yueng la a capa Rehoboam tloep manghai.

And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Solomon went to rest with his fathers and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.
