1 Kings 11
1 Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, besides the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
Hata hivyo, Mfalme Solomoni akawapenda wanawake wengi wa kigeni zaidi, mbali na binti Farao: wanawake wa Wamoabu, Waamoni, Waedomu, Wasidoni na Wahiti.
2 of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel: 'Ye shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods'; Solomon did cleave unto these in love.
Walitoka katika mataifa ambayo Bwana aliwaambia Waisraeli, “Msije mkaoana nao, kwa kuwa hakika wataigeuza mioyo yenu mgeukie miungu yao.” Hata hivyo, Solomoni akakaza kuwapenda.
3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.
Alikuwa na wake 700 mabinti wa uzao wa kifalme, na masuria 300, nao wake zake wakampotosha.
4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not whole with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
Kadiri Solomoni alivyozidi kuzeeka, wake zake wakaugeuza moyo wake kuelekea miungu mingine, na moyo wake haukujitolea kikamilifu kwa Bwana Mungu wake, kama ulivyokuwa moyo wa Daudi baba yake.
5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the detestation of the Ammonites.
Solomoni akafuata Ashtorethi mungu mke wa Wasidoni, na Moleki mungu aliyekuwa chukizo la Waamoni.
6 And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.
Kwa hiyo Solomoni akafanya uovu machoni pa Bwana; hakumfuata Bwana kikamilifu kama alivyofanya Daudi baba yake.
7 Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the detestation of Moab, in the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the detestation of the children of Ammon.
Kwenye kilima mashariki mwa Yerusalemu, Solomoni akajenga mahali pa juu kwa ajili ya Kemoshi chukizo la Wamoabu, na kwa Moleki mungu chukizo la Waamoni.
8 And so did he for all his foreign wives, who offered and sacrificed unto their gods.
Akafanya hivyo kwa wake zake wote wa kigeni, ambao walifukiza uvumba na kutoa dhabihu kwa miungu yao.
9 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice,
Bwana akamkasirikia Solomoni kwa sababu moyo wake uligeuka mbali na Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, ambaye alikuwa amemtokea mara mbili.
10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.
Ingawa alikuwa amemkataza Solomoni kufuata miungu mingine, Solomoni hakutii amri ya Bwana.
11 Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon: 'Forasmuch as this hath been in thy mind, and thou hast not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.
Kwa hiyo Bwana akamwambia Solomoni, “Kwa kuwa hii ndiyo hali yako na hukushika Agano langu na sheria zangu nilizokuamuru, hakika nitaurarua ufalme kutoka kwako na kumpa mmoja wa walio chini yako.
12 Notwithstanding 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.
Hata hivyo, kwa ajili ya Daudi baba yako, sitafanya jambo hili wakati wa uhai wako. Nitaurarua kutoka mikononi mwa mwanao.
13 Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to thy son; for David My servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.'
Lakini pia sitaurarua ufalme wote kutoka kwake, bali nitampa kabila moja kwa ajili ya Daudi mtumishi wangu na kwa ajili ya Yerusalemu, ambao nimeuchagua.”
14 And the LORD raised up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the king's seed in Edom.
Kisha Bwana akamwinua adui dhidi ya Solomoni, Hadadi, Mwedomu, kutoka ukoo wa ufalme wa Edomu.
15 For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, and had smitten every male in Edom —
Huko nyuma wakati Daudi alipokuwa akipigana na Edomu, Yoabu jemadari wa jeshi, aliyekuwa amekwenda kuzika waliouawa, alikuwa amewaua wanaume wote waliokuwako Edomu.
16 for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom —
Yoabu na Waisraeli wote walikaa huko kwa miezi sita, mpaka walipomaliza kuwaangamiza wanaume wote huko Edomu.
17 that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child.
Lakini Hadadi, akiwa bado mvulana mdogo, alikimbilia Misri akiwa na baadhi ya maafisa wa Kiedomu waliokuwa wakimhudumia baba yake.
18 And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.
Wakaondoka Midiani wakaenda Parani. Basi wakichukua pamoja nao wanaume kutoka Parani, wakaenda Misri, kwa Farao mfalme wa Misri, ambaye alimpa Hadadi nyumba, ardhi na akampatia chakula.
19 And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
Farao akapendezwa sana na Hadadi hata akampa ndugu wa mkewe mwenyewe, Malkia Tapenesi, ili aolewe na Hadadi.
20 And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's house among the sons of Pharaoh.
Huyo ndugu wa Tapenesi akamzalia mwana aliyeitwa Genubathi, ambaye alilelewa na Tapenesi katika jumba la kifalme. Huko Genubathi aliishi pamoja na watoto wa Farao mwenyewe.
21 And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh: 'Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.'
Alipokuwa huko Misri, Hadadi alisikia kwamba Daudi amepumzika na baba zake na ya kwamba pia Yoabu aliyekuwa jemadari wa jeshi amekufa. Ndipo Hadadi akamwambia Farao, “Niruhusu niende ili niweze kurudi katika nchi yangu.”
22 Then Pharaoh said unto him: 'But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country?' And he answered: 'Nothing; howbeit let me depart in any wise.'
Farao akauliza, “Umekosa nini hapa, kwamba unataka kurudi katika nchi yako?” Hadadi akajibu, “Hakuna, lakini niruhusu niende!”
23 And God raised up another adversary unto him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.
Mungu akamwinua adui mwingine dhidi ya Solomoni, Rezoni mwana wa Eliada, ambaye alikuwa amemkimbia bwana wake Hadadezeri, mfalme wa Soba.
24 And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a troop, when David slew them of Zobah; and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.
Akawakusanya watu, naye akawa kiongozi wa kundi la waasi, wakati Daudi alipoangamiza majeshi ya Soba; waasi walikwenda Dameski, mahali walipokaa na kumiliki.
25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did; and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Aram.
Rezoni alikuwa adui wa Israeli kwa muda wote alioishi Solomoni, ukiongezea matatizo yaliyosababishwa na Hadadi. Kwa hiyo Rezoni akatawala katika Aramu na alikuwa mkatili kwa Israeli.
26 And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, he also lifted up his hand against the king.
Pia, Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati aliasi dhidi ya mfalme. Alikuwa mmoja wa maafisa wa Solomoni, Mwefraimu kutoka Sereda, ambaye mama yake alikuwa mjane aliyeitwa Serua.
27 And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of the city of David his father.
Haya ndiyo maelezo ya jinsi alivyomwasi mfalme: Solomoni alikuwa amejenga Milo naye akawa ameziba mwanya katika ukuta wa mji wa Daudi baba yake.
28 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he gave him charge over all the labour of the house of Joseph.
Basi Yeroboamu alikuwa mtu shujaa na hodari, naye Solomoni alipoona jinsi kijana alivyofanya kazi yake, akamweka kuwa kiongozi wa kazi yote ya mikono ya nyumba ya Yosefu.
29 And it came to pass at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; now Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field.
Karibu na wakati ule Yeroboamu alikuwa anatoka nje ya Yerusalemu, Ahiya nabii Mshiloni akakutana naye njiani, akiwa amevaa joho jipya. Hawa wawili walikuwa peke yao mashambani,
30 And Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces.
naye Ahiya akachukua joho jipya alilokuwa amevaa akalirarua vipande kumi na viwili.
31 And he said to Jeroboam: 'Take 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 ten tribes to thee —
Kisha akamwambia Yeroboamu, “Chukua vipande kumi kwa ajili yako, kwa kuwa hivi ndivyo Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli asemavyo: ‘Tazama, ninakwenda kuuchana ufalme kutoka mikononi mwa Solomoni na kukupa wewe makabila kumi.
32 but he shall have one tribe, for My servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel —
Lakini kwa ajili ya mtumishi wangu Daudi na mji wa Yerusalemu, ambao nimeuchagua miongoni mwa makabila yote ya Israeli, atakuwa na kabila moja.
33 because that they have forsaken Me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon; and they have not walked in My ways, to do that which is right in Mine eyes, and to keep My statutes and Mine ordinances, as did David his father.
Nitafanya hivi kwa sababu wameniacha mimi na kuabudu Ashtorethi mungu mke wa Wasidoni, Kemoshi mungu wa Wamoabu, na Moleki mungu wa Waamoni, nao hawakwenda katika njia zangu ili kufanya yaliyo sawa machoni pangu, wala kushika amri na sheria zangu kama Daudi, babaye Solomoni, alivyofanya.
34 Howbeit I will not take the whole 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, because he kept My commandments and My statutes;
“‘Lakini sitauondoa ufalme wote kutoka mikononi mwa Solomoni, nimemfanya mtawala siku zote za maisha yake kwa ajili ya Daudi mtumishi wangu, niliyemchagua na ambaye aliyatunza maagizo na amri zangu.
35 but I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.
Nitauondoa ufalme kutoka mikononi mwa mwanawe na kukupa wewe makabila kumi.
36 And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David My servant may have a lamp alway before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen Me to put My name there.
Nitampa mwanawe kabila moja ili kwamba Daudi mtumishi wangu awe na taa mbele zangu daima katika Yerusalemu, mji ambao nimeuchagua kuweka Jina langu.
37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
Hata hivyo, kukuhusu wewe Yeroboamu, nitakutwaa, nawe utatawala juu ya yote yale moyo wako unayotamani, utakuwa mfalme juu ya Israeli.
38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in My ways, and do that which is right in Mine eyes, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as David My servant did, that I will be with thee, and will build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
Ikiwa utafanya kila nitakalokuamuru, kuenenda katika njia zangu na kufanya yaliyo sawa mbele za macho yangu kwa kuzishika amri zangu na maagizo yangu kama alivyofanya Daudi mtumishi wangu, nitakuwa pamoja nawe. Nitakujengea ufalme utakaodumu kama ule niliomjengea Daudi, nami nitakupa Israeli.
39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.'
Nitawatesa wazao wa Daudi kwa ajili ya hili, lakini siyo milele.’”
40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam; but Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
Solomoni akajaribu kumuua Yeroboamu, lakini Yeroboamu akakimbilia Misri, kwa Mfalme Shishaki, naye akakaa huko mpaka Solomoni alipofariki.
41 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
Kwa habari za matukio mengine ya utawala wa Solomoni, yote aliyoyafanya na hekima aliyoionyesha, je hayakuandikwa yote katika kitabu cha matendo cha Solomoni?
42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
Solomoni alitawala Israeli yote miaka arobaini, akiwa Yerusalemu.
43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
Kisha Solomoni akalala pamoja na baba zake, naye akazikwa katika mji wa Daudi baba yake. Naye Rehoboamu mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake.
