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, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, —women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, 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.

out of the nations concerning whom Yahweh had said unto the sons of Israel—Ye shall not go in unto them, and, they, shall not come in unto you, surely they will turn aside your heart after their gods. Unto these, did Solomon cleave in love.

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

So it came to pass that he had seven hundred wives who were princesses, and three hundred concubines, —and, his wives, 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.

Yea it came to pass, in the old age of Solomon, that, his wives, turned aside his heart after other gods, —his heart therefore was not sound with Yahweh his God, as was the heart of David his father.

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

And Solomon went after Ashtoreth, goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom, the abomination 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.

Thus Solomon did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and went not fully after Yahweh, as did David his father.

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, did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, —and for Molech, the abomination of the sons of Ammon;

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

and, thus, did he for all his foreign wives, —who burned incense and offered sacrifices unto their gods.

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

Therefore did Yahweh shew himself angry with Solomon, —because his heart had turned aside from Yahweh God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice;

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

and had been giving command to him concerning this thing, that he should not go away after other gods, —but he had not taken heed unto that which Yahweh had commanded.

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.

Wherefore Yahweh said unto Solomon—Forasmuch as this hath come to pass with thee, and thou hast not heeded my covenant and my statutes, which I charged upon thee, I will, rend, the kingdom away from thee, and will give it unto a servant of thine.

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

Notwithstanding, in thine own days, will I not do it, for the sake of David thy father, —out of the hand of thy son, will I rend it.

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

Howbeit, all the kingdom, will I not rend away, one tribe, will I give unto thy son, —for the sake of David my servant, and for the sake of 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.

And Yahweh raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite, —of the seed of the king, was he, in Edom.

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.

And it came to pass, when David was dealing with Edom, and Joab general of the army went up to bury the slain, —and had smitten every male in Edom, —

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

for, six months, did Joab remain there, with all Israel, —until he had cut off every male in Edom,

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

that Hadad fled, he and certain men of Edom of the servants of his father, with him, to go into Egypt, —Hadad being 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.

So they arose out of Midian, and came into Paran, —and took certain men with them out of Paran, and came into Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and, food, appointed him, and, land, did give unto 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 favour in the eyes of Pharaoh, —so that he gave him to wife, the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

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 bare to him Genubath his son, and Tahpenes weaned him, in the house of Pharaoh, —and so it came about, that Genubath was of the household of Pharaoh, among the sons of Pharaoh.

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, heard in Egypt, that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab general of the army was dead, Hadad said unto Pharaoh, Let me go, that I may take my journey unto mine 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!”

Then said Pharaoh unto him—But what hast thou been lacking with me, that lo! thou art seeking to take thy journey unto thine own land? And he said—Nothing, howbeit, let me go.

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

And God raised up against him an adversary, Rezon son of Eliada, —who had fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord;

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

and he gathered unto him men, and became captain of a band when David slew them [of Zobah], —then went they to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in 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.

Thus became he an adversary unto Israel, all the days of Solomon, this, is the mischief which Hadad did, —so then, he abhorred Israel, when he reigned over 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.

Jeroboam also, son of Nebat, an Ephrathite from Zeredah, whose, mother’s name, was Zeruah, a widow woman, he being servant to Solomon, lifted up a 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, was the cause that he lifted up a hand against the king, —Solomon, built Millo, he closed up of the of David his father. the breach city

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, the man Jeroboam, being an able Solomon observed his servant, that he man, was, one to execute a work, so he gave him oversight of all the charge of the 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 came to pass, at that time, when, Jeroboam, went forth out of Jerusalem, that there met him Ahijah the Shilonite, the prophet, in the way, he having wrapped himself about with a new mantle; and, they two, were by themselves, in the field.

30 kendo Ahija nokawo law mane orwako moyieche nyadipar gariyo.

Then Ahijah laid hold of the new mantle, that was upon him, —and rent it into twelve pieces;

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 said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten places, —for Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel—Behold me! about to rend the kingdom, out of the hand of Solomon, and I will give unto thee ten tribes:

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

Howbeit, one tribe, shall he retain, —for the sake of my servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city that 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.

Because they have forsaken me, and bowed themselves down to Ashtoreth, goddess of the Zidonians, to Chemosh, god of the Moabites, and to Milcom, god of the sons of Ammon, —and have not walked in my ways, by doing what is right in mine eyes, even my statutes and my regulations, like David his father.

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.

Yet will I not take all the kingdom out of his hand, —but will suffer him to be, leader, all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant, whom I chose, —who kept my commandments and my statutes.

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

But I will take the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and will give it to thee, even the 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.

Nevertheless, go his son, will I give one tribe, —to the end there may remain a lamp unto David my servant always before me, in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen for myself, to put my Name there.

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

But, thee, will I take, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul could desire, —and thou shalt 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.

So shall it be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that which is right in mine eyes, by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as did David my servant, then will I be with thee, and will build thee an assured house, as I have built for David, and will give unto thee, Israel.

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

Thus will I humiliate the seed of David, because of this; yet not for ever.

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

When therefore Solomon sought to put, Jeroboam, to death, Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, —and remained 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 story of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are, they, not written in the book of the records of Solomon?

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

Now, the days which Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all Israel, were forty years.

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

So then Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father, —and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
