1 Ruodhi 11

1 Kata kamano Ruoth Solomon nohero nyi pinje mamoko mangʼeny; mane omedo bangʼ nyar Farao kaka nyi jo-Moab gi jo-Amon gi jo-Edom gi jo-Sidon kod nyi jo-Hiti.

But king Solomon loved many foreign women, including the daughter of Pharaoh, and women of Moab, and of Ammon, and of Idumea, and of Sidon, and of the Hittites.

2 Negia e ogendini mane Jehova Nyasaye okwero jo-Israel kawacho niya, “Kik ukendru kodgi, nikech adier ginilok chunyu ma uluw nyisechegi.” Kata kamano, Solomon nomoko kuomgi gihera.

These were of the nations about whom the Lord said to the sons of Israel: “You shall not enter to them, and none of them shall enter to anyone of yours. For they will most certainly turn aside your hearts, so that you follow their gods.” And yet, to these Solomon was joined with a greatly enflamed love.

3 Ne en-gi mon mia abiriyo monywol e ut ruodhi kod mon moketo mia adek, kendo mondego nowite.

And for him, there were seven hundred wives, as if they were queens, and three hundred concubines. And the women turned aside his heart.

4 Kaka Solomon ne medo bedo moti, monde noloko chunye moluwo nyiseche mamoko kendo chunye ne ok ochiwore chuth ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache, kaka chuny Daudi wuon-gi ne en.

And when now he was old, his heart was perverted by the women, so that he followed strange gods. And his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David.

5 Noluwo nyasaye madhako mar jo-Sidon miluongo ni Ashtoreth kod nyasach dwanyruok mar jo-Amon miluongo ni Molek.

For Solomon worshipped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom, the idol of the Ammonites.

6 Omiyo Solomon notimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, ne ok oluwo Jehova Nyasaye gi chunye duto kaka Daudi wuon-gi notimo.

And Solomon did what was not pleasing in the sight of the Lord. And he did not continue to follow the Lord, as his father David did.

7 Ewi got moro yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jerusalem, Solomon nogero kama otingʼore gi malo ni nyasach dwanyruok mar Moab miluongo ni Kemosh kod nyasach dwanyruok mar jo-Amon miluongo ni Molek.

Then Solomon built a shrine for Chemosh, the idol of Moab, on the mount that is opposite Jerusalem, and for Milcom, the idol of the sons of Ammon.

8 Notimo kamano ni monde mag pinje mamoko mane wangʼo ubani kendo ne chiwo misango ni nyisechegigo.

And he acted in this manner for all his foreign wives, who were burning incense and immolating to their gods.

9 Jehova Nyasaye iye nowangʼ gi Solomon nikech chunye noselokore moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach Israel mane osefwenyorene nyadiriyo.

And so, the Lord became angry with Solomon, because his mind had been turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

10 Kata obedo ni notamo Solomon e luwo nyiseche mamoko Solomon ne ok orito chik Jehova Nyasaye.

and who had instructed him about this matter, lest he follow strange gods. But he did not observe what the Lord commanded to him.

11 Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni Solomon niya, “Nikech ma en pachi kendo ok iserito singruokna gi buchena mane achiki, chutho abiro pogo lochni kendo abiro miyo achiel kuom jotichni.

And so, the Lord said to Solomon: “Because you have this with you, and because you have not kept my covenant and my precepts, which I commanded to you, I will tear apart your kingdom, and I will give it to your servant.

12 Kata kamano, ok abi time e kindeni, nikech Daudi wuonu. To abiro poge e kinde wuodi.

Yet truly, I will not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David. From the hand of your son, I will tear it away.

13 To ok anamaye pinyruoth duto, to abiro miye dhoot achiel nikech Daudi jatichna kendo nikech Jerusalem, ma aseyiero.”

Neither will I take away the whole kingdom. Instead, I will grant one tribe to your son, for the sake of David, my servant, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”

14 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo Solomon obedo gi jasigu ma ne en Hadad ja-Edom mane owuok e dhood joka ruoth mar Edom.

Then the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad of Idumea, from an offspring of the king who was in Idumea.

15 E kinde motelo kane Daudi kedo gi Edom, Joab mane jatend lweny mane odhi mondo oyik joma otho, nonego chwo duto mantie e Edom.

For when David was in Idumea, Joab, the leader of the military, had ascended to bury those who had been killed, and he had killed every male in Idumea.

16 Joab kod jo-Israel duto nobedo kuno kuom dweche auchiel, nyaka negitieko chwo duto Edom.

And Joab remained in that place for six months, with all of Israel, until he had put to death every male in Idumea.

17 To Hadad, mane pod rawera matin, noringo odhi Misri gi jodong Edom moko, mane osetiyo ni wuon-gi.

Then Hadad fled, he and some men of Idumea from among the servants of his father with him, so that he might enter into Egypt. But Hadad was then a little boy.

18 Ne giwuok Midian kendo negidhi Paran. Bangʼ kawo chwo mag Paran kodgi negidhi Misri, ir Farao ruodh Misri, mane omiyo Hadad ot gi lowo kod chiemo.

And when they had risen up from Midian, they went into Paran, and they took with them some men from Paran. And they went into Egypt, to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And he gave him a house, and he appointed food for him, and he assigned land to him.

19 Farao ne mor ahinya gi Hadad, omiyo nokawo nyamin Tapenes ma en ruoth madhako kendo ma jaod Farao mondo obed chiege.

And Hadad found great favor before Pharaoh, so much so that he gave to him as wife, the sister of his own wife, queen Tahpenes.

20 Nyamin Tapenes nonywolone wuowi miluongo ni Genubath mane Tapenes opidho e dala ruoth maduongʼ. Kanyo Genubath nodak gi nyithind Farao.

And the sister of Tahpenes bore to him a son, Genubath. And Tahpenes raised him in the house of Pharaoh. And Genubath was living with Pharaoh and his sons.

21 Kane ne en Misri, Hadad nowinjo ni Daudi noyweyo gi kwerene kendo ni Joab jatend jolweny bende nosetho. Eka Hadad nowachone Farao niya, “We adhi mondo adogi e pinywa.”

And when Hadad had heard in Egypt that David had slept with his fathers, and that Joab, the leader of the military, had died, he said to Pharaoh, “Release me, so that I may go to my own land.”

22 To Farao nopenje niya, “Angʼo michando kae momiyo idwaro dok e pinyu?” Hadad to nodwoke niya, “Onge, to yie iweya aweya adhi!”

And Pharaoh said to him, “But what is lacking to you with me, so that you would seek to go to your own land?” But he responded: “Nothing. Yet I beg you that you may release me.”

23 Kendo Nyasaye nochako omiyo Rezon wuod Eliada mane oringo oa ir ruodhe ma Hadadezer ruoth Zoba obedo jasik Solomon.

Also, God raised up against him an adversary, Rezon, the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadad-Ezer, the king of Zobah.

24 Nochoko chwo ire kendo nobedo jatend oganda kane Daudi tieko jolweny Zoba. Ogandago nodhi Damaski kuma negidakie mi giloche.

And he gathered together men against him. And when David put those of Zobah to death, he became a leader of robbers. And they went away to Damascus, and they lived there. And they appointed him to be king of Damascus.

25 E kinde ngima Solomon duto Rezon nobedo jasik Israel, komedore gi chandruok mane Hadad okelo. Kamano Rezon nobedo ruodh Aram kendo noger gi jo-Israel.

And he was an adversary to Israel during all the days of Solomon. And such is the evil of Hadad and of his hatred against Israel. And he reigned in Syria.

26 Jeroboam wuod Nebat ma ja-Efraim moa Zereda kendo ma min mare niluongo ni Zeruya ne en dhako ma chwore otho bende nongʼanyo ni ruoth. Ne en achiel kuom jodong Solomon.

Also, there was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Zeruah, a widowed woman. He lifted up his hand against the king.

27 Ma e kaka nongʼanyo ni ruoth: Solomon nosegero ohinga kendo nosedino otuchi duto mane ni e kor ohinga e dala maduongʼ Daudi wuon-gi

And this is the reason for his rebellion against him: that Solomon built up Millo, and that he filled in a deep hole in the city of David, his father.

28 Koro Jeroboam ne en ngʼat momi luor kendo kane Solomon oneno kaka ngʼat matin-no timo tichne maber, nokete jatend jotich duto ma od Josef.

Now Jeroboam was a valiant and powerful man. And perceiving the young man to be ingenious and industrious, Solomon appointed him as first ruler over the tributes of the entire house of Joseph.

29 E kindeno Jeroboam ne dhi oko mar Jerusalem kendo Ahija janabi moa Shilo noromo kode e yo korwako law manyien: Kargi ji ariyogo ne gin kendgi oko mar dala,

And it happened, in that time, that Jeroboam departed from Jerusalem. And the prophet Ahijah, the Shilonite, wearing a new cloak, found him on the way. And the two were alone in the field.

30 kendo Ahija nokawo law mane orwako moyieche nyadipar gariyo.

And taking his new cloak, with which he was covered, Ahijah tore it into twelve parts.

31 Eka nowacho ni Jeroboam niya, “Kaw migepe apar obed magi nikech ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach Israel wacho: ‘Ne adhi pogo loch Solomon kendo adhi miyi dhoudi apar.

And he said to Jeroboam: “Take ten pieces for yourself. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon, and I will give to you ten tribes.

32 To nikech Daudi jatichna kod dala mar Jerusalem maseyiero e kind dhoudi duto mag Israel, obiro bedo gi dhoot achiel.

Yet one tribe shall remain with him, for the sake of my servant, David, as well as Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.

33 Abiro timo gini nikech gisejwangʼa mi gilamo Ashtoreth nyasaye madhako mar jo-Sidon gi Kemosh nyasach jo-Moab kod Molek nyasach jo-Amon kendo ok gisewuotho e yorena; kata timo gima kare e nyima, kata rito buchena kod chikena kaka Daudi, wuon Solomon notimo.

For he has abandoned me, and he has adored Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the sons of Ammon. And he has not walked in my ways, so that he would do justice before me, and so that he would carry out my precepts and judgments, as his father David did.

34 “‘To ok anagol loch duto e lwet Solomon, asekete jatelo ndalo duto mag ngimane nikech Daudi jatichna, mane ayiero kendo mane orito chikena kod buchena.

But I will not take the entire kingdom from his hand. Instead, I will establish him as the ruler during all the days of his life, for the sake of my servant David, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my precepts.

35 Abiro kawo loch e lwet wuode kendo anamiyi dhoudi apar.

But I will take away the kingdom from the hand of his son, and I will give to you ten tribes.

36 Abiro miyo wuode dhoot achiel mondo Daudi jatichna obed gi taya e nyima ndalo duto e Jerusalem, dala maduongʼ mane ayiero mondo aketie Nyinga.

Then, to his son, I will give one tribe, so that there may remain a lamp for my servant David before me, for all days, in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen, so that my name would be there.

37 Kata kamano, nikech in, abiro kawi kendo ibiro locho kuom mago duto ma chunyi dwaro, ibiro bedo ruoth kuom Israel.

And I will take you up, and you shall reign over all that your soul desires. And you shall be king over Israel.

38 Kitimo duto machiki kendo iwuotho e yorena mitimo gima kare e nyima kirito buchena kod chikena, kaka Daudi jatichna notimo, to abiro bedo kodi. Abiro geroni anywola mosiko kaka nagero ni Daudi kendo anamiyi Israel.

Therefore, if you will listen to all that I will command you, and if you will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my sight, keeping my commandments and my precepts, just as my servant David did, then I will be with you, and I will build for you a faithful house, in the way that I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to you.

39 Abiro boyo oganda mar Daudi nikech ma, to ok nyaka chiengʼ.’”

And I will afflict the offspring of David over this, but truly not for all days.’”

40 Solomon notemo nego Jeroboam, to Jeroboam noringo odhi Misri ir ruoth Shishak, mobedo kuno nyaka tho Solomon.

Therefore, Solomon wanted to kill Jeroboam. But he rose up and fled away to Egypt, to Shishak, the king of Egypt. And he was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

41 Weche moko duto mag loch Solomon kaka mago mane otimo gi rieko mane onyiso donge ondikgi e kitap timbe mag Solomon?

Now the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom: behold, these are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon.

42 Solomon nobedo ruodh jo-Israel duto ka en Jerusalem kuom higni piero angʼwen.

And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all of Israel, were forty years.

43 Eka notho moyweyo gi kwerene mi noyike e dala Daudi wuon-gi. Rehoboam wuode nobedo ruoth kare.

And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David, his father. And Rehoboam, his son, reigned in his place.
