1 Kings 11
1 Bvt King Salomon loued many outlandish women: both the daughter of Pharaoh, and the women of Moab, Ammon, Edom, Zidon and Heth,
Farao babea no akyi no, ɔhene Salomo dɔɔ ananafo mmea bebree a na wɔyɛ Moabfo, Amonfo, Edomfo, Sidonfo ne Hetifo.
2 Of the nations, whereof the Lord had sayd vnto the children of Israel, Goe not ye in to them, nor let them come in to you: for surely they will turne your hearts after their gods, to them, I say, did Salomon ioyne in loue.
Na Awurade aka no pefee akyerɛ ne nkurɔfo se, wɔne saa aman no nni aware, efisɛ mmea a wɔbɛware wɔn no bɛtwetwe wɔn ama wɔakɔsom wɔn anyame. Nanso Salomo waree wɔn ara.
3 And he had seuen hundreth wiues, that were princesses, and three hundreth concubines, and his wiues turned away his heart.
Na ɔwɔ yerenom ahanson ne mpenanom ahaasa. Na ampa ara wɔtwee ne kra fii Awurade ho.
4 For when Salomon was olde, his wiues turned his heart after other gods, so that his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of Dauid his father.
Bere a Salomo bɔɔ akwakoraa no, wɔtwee ne koma kɔɔ anyame afoforo so, na wamfa ne ho anto Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn so, sɛnea nʼagya Dawid yɛe no.
5 For Salomon followed Ashtaroth the god of the Zidonians, and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
Salomo dii Sidonfo bosombea Astoret ne Amonfo nyame Molek a na wokyi no no akyi.
6 So Salomon wrought wickednesse in the sight of the Lord, but continued not to follow the Lord, as did Dauid his father.
Enti Salomo yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Wanni Awurade akyi, sɛnea nʼagya Dawid yɛe no.
7 Then did Salomon build an hie place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the mountaine that is ouer against Ierusalem, and vnto Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
Salomo sii abosonnan maa Moabfo nyame Kemos, a na ɔyɛ akyiwade, wɔ Ngo Bepɔw a ɛwɔ Yerusalem apuei fam, na osii bi nso maa Amonfo nyame Molek, a na ɔyɛ akyiwade.
8 And so did he for all his outlandish wiues, which burnt incense and offered vnto their gods.
Salomo sisii abosonnan yi maa nʼananayerenom nyinaa, sɛ wɔnhyew nnuhuam, na wɔmmɔ afɔre mma wɔn anyame wɔ hɔ.
9 Therefore the Lord was angry with Salomon, because hee had turned his heart from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared vnto him twise,
Na Awurade bo fuw Salomo, efisɛ ne koma adan afi Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, a wada ne ho adi akyerɛ no mprenu no ho.
10 And had giuen him a charge concerning this thing, that he should not follow other gods: but he kept not that, which the Lord had commanded him.
Ɔbɔɔ Salomo kɔkɔ sɛ onni anyame afoforo akyi, nanso Salomo anni Awurade ahyɛde so.
11 Wherefore the Lord sayd vnto Salomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my couenant, and my statutes (which I commanded thee) I will surely rent the kingdome from thee, and will giue it to thy seruant.
Enti Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Salomo se, “Esiane sɛ woanni mʼapam so, na woapo me mmara nti, ampa ara, mɛtew ahemman no afi wo ho, na mede ama wʼasomfo no mu baako.
12 Notwithstanding in thy dayes I will not doe it, because of Dauid thy father, but I will rent it out of the hand of thy sonne:
Nanso esiane wʼagya Dawid nti, merenyɛ saa bere a wote ase. Megye ahemman no afi wo babarima nsam.
13 Howbeit I wil not rent all the Kingdome, but will giue one tribe to thy sonne, because of Dauid my seruant, and because of Ierusalem which I haue chosen.
Ɛno mpo, mɛma wadi abusuakuw baako so, esiane me somfo Dawid ne kuropɔn Yerusalem a mayi asi hɔ no nti.”
14 Then the Lord stirred vp an aduersarie vnto Salomon, euen Hadad the Edomite, of the Kings seede, which was in Edom.
Na Awurade pagyaw Edomni Hadad a na ofi Edom adehyebusua mu, sɛ ɔnyɛ ɔtamfo ntia Salomo.
15 For when Dauid was in Edom, and Ioab the captaine of the hoste had smitten all the males in Edom, and was gone vp to bury ye slaine,
Mfe bi a atwa mu no, Dawid ne Yoab a na ɔyɛ nʼakofo so sahene no kɔɔ Edom kosiee Israelfo bi a wɔtotɔɔ akono no. Bere a wɔwɔ hɔ no, anka Israel asraafo no reyɛ akunkum mmarima a wɔwɔ Edom nyinaa.
16 (For six moneths did Ioab remaine there, and all Israel, till he had destroyed all the males in Edom)
Yoab ne asraafo no tenaa hɔ asram asia kunkum wɔn.
17 Then this Hadad fled and certaine other Edomites of his fathers seruants with him, to goe into Egypt, Hadad being yet a litle childe.
Nanso Hadad ne nʼagya adehye ntuanofo no mu kakra guanee. (Saa bere no na Hadad yɛ abofra ketewa bi.)
18 And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran, and tooke men with them out of Paran, and came to Egypt vnto Pharaoh King of Egypt, which gaue him an house, and appointed him vitailes, and gaue him lande.
Woguan fii Midian kɔɔ Paran. Paran hɔ na ebinom kɔkaa wɔn ho. Afei, wɔkɔɔ Misraim, Farao nkyɛn, na ɔmaa wɔn baabi a wɔbɛtena, aduan ne asase.
19 So Hadad found great fauour in the sight of Pharaoh, and he gaue him to wife the sister of his owne wife, euen the sister of Tahpenes the Queene.
Farao pɛɛ Hadad asɛm yiye, na ɔmaa no ɔyere a na ɔyɛ ɔhemmea Tapanhes nuabea.
20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his sonne, whome Tahpenes wayned in Pharaohs house: and Genubath was in Pharaohs house among the sonnes of Pharaoh.
Ɔne no woo ɔbabarima a wɔtoo no din Genubat, na wɔtetew no fraa Farao mmabarima mu wɔ Farao ahemfi.
21 And when Hadad heard in Egypt, that Dauid slept with his fathers, and that Ioab the captaine of the hoste was dead, Hadad sayde to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may goe to mine owne countrey.
Bere a Hadad tee wɔ Misraim sɛ Dawid ne ne sahene Yoab awuwu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Farao se, “Ma mensan nkɔ mʼankasa me man mu.”
22 But Pharaoh saide vnto him, What hast thou lacked with me, that thou wouldest thus go to thine owne countrey? And he answered, Nothing, but in any wise let me goe.
Farao bisaa no se, “Adɛn? Dɛn na ɛho hia wo wɔ ha? Dɛn ho na yɛadi wo huammɔ a nti wopɛ sɛ wokɔ wo kurom?” Obuae se, “Biribiara nkɔɔ bɔne, nanso kɔ ara na mepɛ sɛ mekɔ fie.”
23 And God stirred him vp another aduersarie, Rezon the sonne of Eliada, which fled from his lorde Hadadezer King of Zobah.
Onyankopɔn pagyaw Eliada babarima Reson nso ma ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔtamfo tiaa Salomo. Reson guan fii ne wura ɔhene Hadadeser a ofi Soba nkyɛn
24 And he gathered men vnto him, and had bene captaine ouer the company, when Dauid slew them. And they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and they made him King in Damascus.
bɛyɛɛ atuatewfo panyin. Dawid dii Hadadeser so nkonim no, Reson ne ne mmarima guan kɔɔ Damasko, kodii hene wɔ hɔ.
25 Therefore was he an aduersarie to Israel all the daies of Salomon: besides the euil that Hadad did, he also abhorred Israel, and reigned ouer Aram
Reson bɛyɛɛ Israel tamfo kɛse wɔ Salomo ahenni nkae no nyinaa mu; na ɔyɛɛ ɔteeteefo sɛnea Hadad yɛe no. Reson kɔɔ so tan Israel denneennen, na ɔtoaa so dii hene wɔ Aram.
26 And Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat an Ephrathite of Zereda Salomons seruant (whose mother was called Zeruah a widowe) lift vp his hand against the King.
Otuatewfo panyin foforo bi nso ne Nebat babarima Yeroboam. Na ɔyɛ Salomo ankasa mpanyimfo no mu baako. Na ofi kurow Sereda a ɛwɔ Efraim mu. Na wɔfrɛ ne na se Senua; na ɔyɛ okunafo.
27 And this was the cause that he lift vp his hande against the King, When Salomon built Millo, he repared the broken places of the citie of Dauid his father.
Nʼatuatew no nkyerɛase ni: Na Salomo rekyekyere Milo, na ogu so resiesie nʼagya Dawid kurow no afasu no,
28 And this man Ieroboam was a man of strength and courage, and Salomon seeing that the yong man was meete for the worke, he made him ouerseer of all the labour of the house of Ioseph.
na Yeroboam yɛ nsiyɛfo. Salomo huu no sɛ ɔyɛ mɔdemmɔfo no, ɔde no tuaa adwumayɛfo a wofi Efraim ne Manase mmusuakuw mu no ano.
29 And at that time, when Ieroboam went out of Ierusalem, the Prophet Ahiiah the Shilonite founde him in the way, hauing a newe garment on him, and they two were alone in ye field.
Da bi a Yeroboam refi Yerusalem no, ohyiaa odiyifo Ahiya, Siloni, wɔ kwan so a ɔhyɛ atade foforo. Na wɔn baanu nko na wɔwɔ wuram hɔ.
30 Then Ahiiah caught the newe garment that was on him, and rent it in twelue pieces,
Ɛhɔ na Ahiya worɔw nʼatade foforo a na ɛhyɛ no no, tetew mu asinasin dumien.
31 And said to Ieroboam, Take vnto thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Beholde, I wil rent the kingdome out of ye hands of Salomon, and will giue ten tribes to thee.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ Yeroboam se, “Fa asinasin yi mu du, na sɛɛ na Awurade, Israel Nyankopɔn, reka: ‘Merebegye ahemman no afi Salomo nsam, na mede mmusuakuw no mu du bɛma wo.
32 But he shall haue one tribe for my seruant Dauids sake, and for Ierusalem the citie, which I haue chosen out of all the tribes of Israel,
Na esiane me somfo Dawid ne Yerusalem a mayi afi Israel mmusuakuw no nyinaa mu no nti, megyaw no abusua baako.
33 Because they haue forsaken me, and haue worshipped Ashtaroth the god of the Zidonians, and Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites, and haue not walked in my wayes (to do right in mine eyes, and my statutes, and my lawes) as did Dauid his father.
Efisɛ Salomo agyaw me hɔ, akɔsom Astoret a ɔyɛ Sidonfo bosombea ne Kemos a ɔyɛ Moabfo nyame ne Amonfo nyame Molek. Wamfa mʼakwan so anyɛ nea ɛsɔ mʼani. Wanni me mmara ne mʼahyɛde so te sɛ nʼagya Dawid.
34 But I will not take the whole kingdome out of his hande: for I will make him prince all his life long for Dauid my seruants sake, whome I haue chosen, and who kept my commandements and my statutes.
“‘Nanso merennye ahemman no nyinaa mfi Salomo nsam saa bere yi. Esiane me somfo Dawid, nea miyii no no, na otiee mʼahyɛde, dii me mmara so no nti, mɛma Salomo adi ade mfe a aka no wɔ ne nkwa mu.
35 But I will take the kingdome out of his sonnes hand, and will giue it vnto thee, euen the ten tribes.
Na megye ahemman no afi ne babarima nsam, na mede mmusuakuw no mu du ama wo.
36 And vnto his sonne will I giue one tribe, that Dauid my seruant may haue a light alway before me in Ierusalem the citie, which I haue chosen me, to put my Name there.
Ne babarima benya abusuakuw baako, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a me somfo Dawid asefo bɛkɔ so adi hene wɔ Yerusalem, kurow a mayi sɛ me din nna so no.
37 And I wil take thee, and thou shalt reigne, euen as thine heart desireth, and shalt be King ouer Israel.
Na mede wo besi Israel ahengua no so, na wubedi ade no sɛnea wʼankasa wo koma pɛ.
38 And if thou hearken vnto all that I commande thee, and wilt walke in my wayes, and doe right in my sight, to keepe my statutes and my commandements, as Dauid my seruant did, then will I be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built vnto Dauid, and wil giue Israel vnto thee.
Sɛ wutie asɛm a meka kyerɛ wo, na wonantew mʼakwan mu, na woyɛ nea midwen sɛ eye, na wutie me mmara, di mʼahyɛde so, sɛnea me somfo Dawid yɛe no a, ɛno de, daa mɛka wo ho. Metim wo fi adedi ase, sɛnea meyɛ maa Dawid no, na mede Israel bɛma wo.
39 And I will for this afflict the seede of Dauid, but not for euer.
Nanso esiane Salomo bɔne a wayɛ nti, mɛtwe Dawid asefo aso, nanso ɛrenyɛ afebɔɔ.’”
40 Salomon sought therefore to kill Ieroboam, and Ieroboam arose, and fled into Egypt vnto Shishak King of Egypt, and was in Egypt vntil the death of Salomon.
Salomo pɛɛ sɛ okum Yeroboam, nanso oguan kɔɔ Misraim, Misraimhene Sisak nkyɛn, kosii sɛ Salomo wui.
41 And the rest of the wordes of Salomon, and all that he did, and his wisedom, are they not written in the booke of the actes of Salomon?
Na Salomo ahenni ho nsɛm nkae, nea ɔyɛe ne ne nyansa no de, wɔankyerɛw wɔ Salomo Ho Nsɛm Nhoma no mu ana?
42 The time that Salomon reigned in Ierusalem ouer all Israel, was fourtie yeere.
Salomo dii hene wɔ Yerusalem ne Israel nyinaa so mfirihyia aduanan.
43 And Salomon slept with his fathers and was buried in the citie of Dauid his father: and Rehoboam his sonne reigned in his steade.
Bere a Salomo wui no, wosiee no wɔ nʼagya Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Rehoboam na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene foforo.
