1 Manghai 11
1 Solomon manghai loh Pharaoh canu phoeiah khaw Moab, Ammoni, Edom, Sidoni, Khitti neh kholong tom kah huta te a lungnah.
King Solomon loved many foreign women. Besides Pharaoh's daughter, there were women from the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, 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.
They were from the nations that the Lord had warned the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, for they will undoubtedly convince you to worship their gods.” Yet Solomon because of his love for women held on to them.
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 of noble birth and three hundred concubines. His wives did convince him to turn away from the Lord.
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.
As Solomon grew old, his wives led him to follow other gods, and he did not commit himself wholeheartedly to the Lord as his father David had done.
5 Solomon te Sidoni kah pathen Ashtoreth hnuk neh Ammoni kah sarhingkoi Milkom hnukah cet.
Solomon worshiped Ashtoreth, goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech, vile god of the Ammonites.
6 Solomon loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii dongah a napa David bangla BOEIPA hnuk kae pawh.
This was how Solomon did evil in the Lord's sight, and was not completely dedicated to the Lord as his father David was.
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.
It was then that Solomon built a high place of worship for Chemosh, the vile god of the people of Moab, and for Molech, the vile god of the Ammonites, on a hill east of Jerusalem.
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.
He built places of worship for all his foreign wives where they burned incense and sacrificed 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.
The Lord became angry with Solomon because he had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.
10 Pathen tloe rhoek taengah pongpa pawt ham he ol he a taengah a uen lalah BOEIPA kah a uen te ngaithuen pawh.
The Lord had warned Solomon about this—that he should not worship other gods. But Solomon did not listen to the Lord's warning.
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 told him, “Since this is what you have done, and since you have not kept my agreement and my laws that I commanded, I will definitely take the kingdom away from you and 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.
However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do this in your lifetime—I will take it away 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.
Even then I will not take away the whole kingdom. I will leave your son with one tribe for the sake of my servant David, and for the sake of my chosen city Jerusalem.”
14 Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh Solomon taengah Satan la Edom kah manghai tiingan lamloh Edom Hadad te a tlung sak.
Then the Lord encouraged Hadad the Edomite of Edom's royal family to oppose Solomon.
15 David he Edom taengah om tih rhok up hamla caempuei mangpa Joab a caeh vaengah Edom ah tongpa te boeih a ngawn.
Previously, when David was in Edom, Joab the commander of the Israelite army had gone to bury some of his soldiers who had been killed, and had slaughtered every male in Edom.
16 Edom ah tongpa boeih a ngawn hil Joab neh Israel pum boeih hla rhuk pahoi om uh.
Joab and the whole Israelite army had spent six months there destroying them all.
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.
But Hadad and some Edomites who had been his father's officials had run away to Egypt—Hadad was just a boy at the time.
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.
They left Midian and went to Paran. Then, along with some people from Paran, they went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt. He provided Hadad with a house and food, and also assigned him land as a gift.
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.
Pharaoh became very friendly with Hadad, and he gave him the sister of his own wife to marry, Queen Tahpenes' sister.
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.
She gave birth to his son called Genubath. Tahpenes brought him up in Pharaoh's palace with Pharaoh's own children.
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.
However, when news reached Hadad in Egypt that both David and Joab, the commander of the army, had died, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me leave and return to my own 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.
Pharaoh asked him, “Is there anything that you have lacked here with me that now you want to go back to your own country?” “No, there's nothing,” Hadad replied, “but please just let me go home.”
23 Pathen loh Solomon taengah a boei Zobah manghai Hadadezer taeng lamloh aka yong Eliada capa Rezon te khingkhoekkung la a tlung sak.
God also encouraged Rezon, son of Eliada, to oppose Solomon. He had run away from his master Hadadezer, king of Zobah. After David had destroyed Zobah's army,
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.
Rezon gathered around him a rebel band, and became their leader. They went and settled in Damascus, where they took over.
25 Hadad he a boethae hman ah Solomon tue khuiah tah Israel taengah khingkhoekkung la tlung. Israel taengah a mueipuel doela Aram ah manghai.
Rezon was Israel's enemy throughout Solomon's lifetime which added to the trouble Hadad caused. Rezon really hated Israel, and was the ruler of Aram.
26 Solomon kah sal, Zeredah lamkah Ephraim Nebat capa Jeroboam, a manu ming nuhmai nu Zeruah, long khaw manghai te kut a thueng thil.
In addition, Jeroboam, son of Nebat, rebelled against the king. One of Solomon's officials, he was an Ephraimite from Zeredah. His mother was a widow called Zeruah.
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.
This is why he rebelled against the king: Solomon had built the terraces and had closed the gap in the wall of the city 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.
Jeroboam was a man of ability, and when Solomon realized how successful he was in what he did, he placed him command of all the forced labor of the tribes 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.
Around that time the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met Jeroboam on the road as he was leaving Jerusalem.
30 Ahijah loh a pum dongkah himbai thai te a tuuk tih a hnipen hlai nit la a phen.
Ahijah had wrapped himself in a new cloak, and the two of them were by themselves in the countryside. Ahijah took the new cloak he was wearing and ripped it up into twelve pieces.
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.
He said, “Jeroboam, take ten pieces. This is what the Lord God of Israel says. ‘Jeroboam, I am the Lord, the God of Israel, and I am going to take Solomon's kingdom from him and give you ten of the tribes.
32 Tedae ka sal David kong neh Israel koca boeih lamloh ka coelh Jerusalem khopuei kongah anih ham koca pakhat om ni.
One tribe will be left for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I chose from among all the tribes of Israel.
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.
This is because they have abandoned me and bowed down in worship of Ashtoreth, goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh, god of the Moabites, and Molech, god of the Ammonites. They have not followed my ways; they have not done what is right in my sight; they have not kept my commandments and laws as David, Solomon's father, 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.
Even so, I'm not going to take the whole kingdom from Solomon, because I made him ruler for his lifetime for the sake of my servant David. I chose him because he kept my commandments and laws.
35 A capa kut lamlong tah ram he ka loh vetih nang taengah koca parha kam paek ni.
But I will take from his son's kingdom ten tribes and give them 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.
I will give his son one tribe, so that my servant David will always have a descendant like a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to be honored.
37 Nang te kan loh vaengah na hinglu kah a sahnaih boeih soah na manghai vetih Israel soah manghai la na om ni.
I will take you, and you shall reign over everything that you want. You will be king over Israel.
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.
If you accept everything that I command you, if you follow my ways, if you do what is right in my sight, keeping my laws and commandments as my servant David did, then I will be with you. I will set up for you a dynasty that lasts, just 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.
I will punish David's descendants because of this, but not forever.”
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.
So Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam ran away to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt. He remained there until Solomon's death.
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?
The record of the rest of the acts of Solomon, including everything he did, and his wisdom, are written in the Book of the Acts of Solomon.
42 Jerusalem kah Israel boeih soah Solomon kah a manghai tue te kum sawmli lo.
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all of Israel for a total of 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.
Solomon died and was buried in the city of his father David. His son Rehoboam succeeded him as king.
