1 Kings 11
1 And king Solomon loved many strange women besides the daughter of Pharao, and women of Moab, and of Ammon, and of Edom, and of Sidon, and of the Hethites:
Mũthamaki Solomoni nĩendire andũ-a-nja aingĩ a kũndũ kũngĩ o hamwe na mwarĩ wa Firaũni, nĩahikirie atumia a Amoabi, na a Amoni, na a Aedomu, na a Asidoni, na a Ahiti.
2 Of the nations concerning which the Lord said to the children of Israel: You shall not go in unto them, neither shall any of them come in to yours: for they will most certainly turn away your heart to follow their gods. And to these was Solomon joined with a most ardent love.
Moimĩte ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ iria Jehova eerĩte Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Mũtikanahikanie nao, tondũ ti-itherũ nĩmakagarũra ngoro cianyu irũmĩrĩre ngai ciao.” No rĩrĩ, Solomoni agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũmeenda.
3 And he had seven hundred wives as queens, and three hundred concubines: and the women turned away his heart.
Aarĩ na atumia magana mũgwanja kuuma nyũmba cia ũthamaki, na thuriya magana matatũ, nao atumia acio ake makĩmũhĩtithia.
4 And when he was now old, his heart was turned away by women to follow strange gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
O ũrĩa Solomoni aathiire agĩkũraga, noguo atumia ake maaguucagĩrĩria ngoro yake kũrũmĩrĩra ngai ingĩ, nake akĩaga kũheana ngoro yake kũna kũrĩ Jehova Ngai wake, ta ũrĩa ngoro ya ithe Daudi yatariĩ.
5 But Solomon worshipped Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Moloch the idol of the ammonites.
Akĩrũmĩrĩra Ashitorethu ngai ya nga ya andũ a Sidoni, na Moleku ngai ĩrĩa meneku ya Aamoni.
6 And Solomon did that which was net pleasing before the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, as David his father.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Solomoni agĩĩka ũũru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova; ndaarũmĩrĩire Jehova kũna ta ũrĩa ithe Daudi eekĩte.
7 Then Solomon built a temple for Chamos the idol of Moab, on the hill that is over against Jerusalem, and for Moloch the idol of the children of Ammon.
Solomoni nĩakĩire Kemoshu ngai ĩrĩa meneku ya Moabi, na Moleku ngai ĩrĩa meneku ya Aamoni handũ hatũũgĩru, o kũu karima-inĩ karĩa karĩ mwena wa irathĩro wa Jerusalemu.
8 And he did in this manner for all his wives that were strangers, who burnt incense, and offered sacrifice to their gods.
Eekire o ũguo kũrĩ atumia arĩa angĩ ake othe a kũngĩ, arĩa maacinaga ũbumba na makarutĩra ngai ciao magongona.
9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his mind was turned away from the Lord the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
Jehova nĩarakaririo nĩ Solomoni tondũ ngoro yake nĩyahutatĩire Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa wamuumĩrĩire maita meerĩ.
10 And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not follow strange gods: but he kept not the things which the Lord commanded him.
O na gũtuĩka nĩakaanĩtie Solomoni kũrũmĩrĩra ngai ingĩ-rĩ, Solomoni ndaigana kũrũmia watho wa Jehova.
11 The Lord therefore said to Solomon: Because thou hast done this, and hast not kept my covenant, and my precepts, which I have commanded thee, I will divide and rend thy kingdom, and will give it to thy servant.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩĩra Solomoni atĩrĩ, “Kuona atĩ ũguo nĩguo wonete arĩ wega, na nĩũregete kũrũmĩrĩra kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa gĩa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kĩrĩa ngwathĩte-rĩ, ti-itherũ nĩngagũtunya ũthamaki ndĩũrute kũrĩ we, ndĩũnengere ũmwe wa ndungata ciaku.
12 Nevertheless in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father’s sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.
No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa thoguo Daudi-rĩ, ndigwĩka ũndũ ũcio hĩndĩ ĩrĩa we ũrĩ muoyo. No nĩngaũtunya mũrũguo.
13 Neither will I take away the whole kingdom, but I will give one tribe to thy son for the sake of David my servant, and Jerusalem which I have chosen.
No ndikamũtunya ũthamaki wothe, no nĩngamũhe mũhĩrĩga ũmwe nĩ ũndũ wa Daudi ndungata yakwa, na nĩ ũndũ wa Jerusalemu, itũũra rĩrĩa thuurĩte.”
14 And the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Adad the Edomite of the king’s seed, in Edom.
Nake Jehova akĩarahũrĩra Solomoni thũ, nĩyo Hadadi ũrĩa Mũedomu, wa rũciaro rwa ũthamaki wa Edomu.
15 For when David was in Edom, and Joab the general of the army was gone up to bury them that were slain, and had killed every male in Edom,
Mbere ĩyo rĩrĩa Daudi aarũaga na Edomu, Joabu mũnene wa ita, ũrĩa wathiĩte gũthika arĩa maakuĩte-rĩ, nĩooragire arũme othe kũu Edomu.
16 (For Joab remained there six months with all Israel, till he had slain every male in Edom, )
Joabu na andũ a Isiraeli othe maikarire kũu mĩeri ĩtandatũ, nginya rĩrĩa maaniinire arũme othe kũu Edomu.
17 Then Adad fled, he and certain Edomites, of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt: and Adad was then a little boy.
No Hadadi arĩ o kahĩĩ-rĩ, akĩũrĩra bũrũri wa Misiri marĩ hamwe na anene amwe a Edomu arĩa maatungatĩire ithe.
18 And they arose out of Madian, and came into Pharan, and they took men with them from Pharan, and went into Egypt to Pharao the king of Egypt: who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and assigned him land.
Nao makiuma Midiani magĩthiĩ Parani. Ningĩ makĩoya andũ angĩ kũu Parani, magĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri, kũrĩ Firaũni mũthamaki wa Misiri, ũrĩa waheire Hadadi nyũmba, na gĩthaka, na akĩmũhe irio.
19 And Adad found great favour before Pharao, insomuch that he gave him to wife, the own sister of his wife Taphnes the queen.
Firaũni nĩakenirio mũno nĩ Hadadi o nginya akĩmũhe mwarĩ wa nyina na Tahapenesi, mũtumia wa mũthamaki, nĩguo amũhikie atuĩke mũtumia wake.
20 And the sister of Taphnes bore him his son Genubath, and Taphnes brought him up in the house of Pharao: and Genubath dwelt with Pharao among his children.
Mwarĩ wa nyina na Tahapenesi akĩmũciarĩra kahĩĩ geetagwo Genubathu karĩa kaarereirwo nyũmba-inĩ ya mũthamaki nĩ Tahapenesi. Genubathu agĩtũũrania na ciana cia Firaũni kuo.
21 And when Adad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the general of the army was dead, he said to Pharao: Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.
Hadadi arĩ kũu Misiri akĩigua atĩ Daudi nĩahurũkĩte hamwe na maithe make, na atĩ Joabu mũnene wa ita o nake nĩarĩkĩtie gũkua. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Hadadi akĩĩra Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Njĩtĩkĩria thiĩ, nĩguo njooke bũrũri witũ.”
22 And Pharao said to him: Why, what is wanting to thee with me, that thou seekest to go to thy own country? But he answered: Nothing: yet I beseech thee to let me go.
Firaũni akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ wagĩte gũkũ atĩ nĩguo ũcooke bũrũri wanyu?” Hadadi agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ, no njĩtĩkĩria thiĩ!”
23 God also raised up against him an adversary, Razon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master Adarezer the king of Soba:
Nake Ngai akĩarahũra thũ ĩngĩ ya gũũkĩrĩra Solomoni, nayo nĩ Rezoni mũrũ wa Eliada, ũrĩa worĩte akoima kũrĩ mũnene wake, Hadadezeri mũthamaki wa Zoba.
24 And he gathered men against him, and he became a captain of robbers, when David slew them of Soba: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and they made him king in Damascus.
Akĩĩyũnganĩria andũ, na agĩtuĩka mũtongoria wa gĩkundi kĩa aremi rĩrĩa Daudi aaniinire ita cia Zoba; aremi acio magĩthiĩ Dameski, magĩtũũra kuo, na makĩoya wathani.
25 And he was an adversary to Israel, all the days of Solomon: and this is the evil of Adad, and his hatred against Israel, and he reigned in Syria.
Rezoni aarĩ thũ ya Isiraeli rĩrĩa rĩothe Solomoni aatũũrire muoyo, akĩongerera thĩĩna ũrĩa warehetwo nĩ Hadadi. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Rezoni agĩathana kũu Suriata na nĩathũire Isiraeli mũno.
26 Jeroboam also the son of Nabat an Ephrathite of Sareda, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Sarua, a widow woman, lifted up his hand against the king.
Ningĩ Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati akĩremera mũthamaki. Aarĩ ũmwe wa anene a Solomoni, Mũefiraimu wa kuuma Zereda, na nyina eetagwo Zerua na aarĩ mũtumia wa ndigwa.
27 And this is the cause of his rebellion against him, for Solomon built Mello, and filled up the breach of the city of David his father.
Ũũ nĩguo aaremeire Mũthamaki: Solomoni nĩathondekete mbenji na agacookereria rũthingo rwa itũũra inene rĩa ithe Daudi.
28 And Jeroboam was a valiant and mighty man: and Solomon seeing him a young man ingenious and industrious, made him chief over the tributes of all the house of Joseph.
Na rĩrĩ, Jeroboamu aarĩ mũndũ mũhoti, na rĩrĩa Solomoni onire mũrutĩre wake wa wĩra ũrĩa warĩ mwega, akĩmũtua mũrũgamĩrĩri wa aruti wĩra othe a nyũmba ya Jusufu.
29 So it came to paste at that time, that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahias the Silonite, clad with a new garment, found him in the way: and they two were alone in the held.
Ihinda-inĩ rĩu, Jeroboamu oimaga Jerusalemu, nake Ahija mũnabii wa Shilo agĩcemania nake, ehumbĩte nguo njerũ. Nao eerĩ maarĩ oiki kũu gĩthaka-inĩ,
30 And Ahias taking his new garment, wherewith he was clad, divided it into twelve parts:
nake Ahija akĩoya nguo ĩyo njerũ eehumbĩte, akĩmĩtarũra icunjĩ ikũmi na igĩrĩ.
31 And he said to Jeroboam: Take to thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Behold I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give thee ten tribes.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩĩra Jeroboamu atĩrĩ, “Wĩyoere icunjĩ ikũmi, nĩgũkorwo ũũ nĩguo Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, oigĩte: ‘Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngweheria ũthamaki guoko-inĩ gwa Solomoni, na nĩngũkũhe mĩhĩrĩga ikũmi.
32 But one tribe shall remain to him for the sake of my servant David, and Jerusalem the city, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:
No nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yakwa Daudi na itũũra inene rĩa Jerusalemu, rĩrĩa thuurĩte kuuma kũrĩ mĩhĩrĩga yothe ya Isiraeli, nĩngũmũtigĩria mũhĩrĩga ũmwe.
33 Because he hath forsaken me, and hath adored Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chamos the god of Moab, and Moloch the god of the children of Ammon: and hath not walked in my ways, to do justice before me, and to keep my precepts, and judgments as did David his father.
Ngwĩka ũguo, nĩ tondũ nĩmandiganĩirie, makainamĩrĩra Ashitorethu ngai ya nga ya Asidoni, na Kemoshu ngai ya andũ a Moabi, na Moleku ngai ya andũ a Amoni, na magatiga gũthiĩ na njĩra ciakwa, o na makarega gwĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ makwa, o na matirũmagia irĩra ciakwa na mawatho ta ũrĩa Daudi ithe wa Solomoni ekaga.
34 Yet I will not take away all the kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him prince all the days of his life, for David my servant’s sake, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my precepts.
“‘No rĩrĩ, ndikweheria ũthamaki wothe guoko-inĩ gwa Solomoni; nĩndĩmũtuĩte mwathani matukũ-inĩ mothe ma muoyo wake, nĩ ũndũ wa Daudi ndungata yakwa, ũrĩa ndathuurire o we warũmirie maathani makwa na irĩra ciakwa.
35 But I will take away the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give thee ten tribes:
Nĩngeheria ũthamaki moko-inĩ ma mũriũ na ngũhe mĩhĩrĩga ikũmi.
36 And to his son I will give one tribe, that there may remain a lamp for my servant David before me always in Jerusalem the city which I have chosen, that my name might be there.
Nĩngaahe mũriũ mũhĩrĩga ũmwe, nĩgeetha ndungata yakwa Daudi ĩtũũrie tawa mbere yakwa hĩndĩ ciothe kũu Jerusalemu, itũũra rĩrĩa inene kũrĩa ndathuurire ndũũrie Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa kuo.
37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul desireth, and thou shalt be king over Israel.
No wee-rĩ, nĩngakuoya, na nĩũgathamaka maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ngoro yaku ĩkeerirĩria; nĩũgatuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
38 If then thou wilt hearken to all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do what is right before me, keeping my commandments and my precepts, as David my servant did: I will be with thee, and will build thee up a faithful house, as I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to thee:
Ũngĩka ũrĩa wothe ngũgwatha, na ũthiiage na njĩra ciakwa, na wĩkage ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ makwa na ũndũ wa kũrũmia irĩra ciakwa na maathani makwa, o ta ũrĩa ndungata yakwa Daudi yekaga-rĩ, nĩndĩrĩkoragwo hamwe nawe. Nyũmba yaku nĩngamĩtua ya ũthamaki ya gũtũũra, o ta ũrĩa ndaakire nyũmba ya Daudi na nĩngakũhe Isiraeli.
39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but yet not for ever.
Nĩnganyariira njiaro cia Daudi, no ndigacinyariira nginya tene.’”
40 Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose, and fled into Egypt to Sesac the king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till the death of Solomon.
Solomoni nĩageririe kũũraga Jeroboamu, nowe Jeroboamu akĩũrĩra bũrũri wa Misiri kwa Mũthamaki Shishaka, na agĩikara kuo nginya rĩrĩa Solomoni aakuire.
41 And the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom: behold they are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon.
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Solomoni, ũrĩa wothe eekire, na ũũgĩ ũrĩa onanirie-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa ciĩko cia Solomoni?
42 And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel, were forty years.
Solomoni aathamakĩire Isiraeli rĩothe arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father, and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
Agĩcooka akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo itũũra inene rĩa ithe Daudi. Nake mũriũ Rehoboamu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
