1 Kings 11
1 And King Solomon has loved many strange women, and the daughter of Pharaoh, females of Moab, Ammon, Edom, Sidon, [and] of the Hittites,
Ke hã la, Fia Solomo galɔ̃ dutanyɔnu geɖewo kpe ɖe Farao ƒe vinyɔnu la ŋuti. Nyɔnuawo nye srɔ̃awo kpe ɖe Egipte fiavinyɔnu la ŋu. Srɔ̃awo dometɔ geɖewo nye Moabtɔwo, Amonitɔwo, Edomtɔwo, Sidontɔwo kple Hititɔwo.
2 of the nations of which YHWH said to the sons of Israel, “You do not go in to them, and they do not go in to you; surely they turn aside your heart after their gods”; Solomon has cleaved to them for love.
Togbɔ be Yehowa de se na eƒe amewo be womegaɖe srɔ̃ tso dukɔ bubuwo me o elabena dukɔ bubu mawo ƒe nyɔnuwo akplɔ wo ade mawu bubuwo subɔsubɔ me hã la, Solomo ya ɖe wo.
3 And he has seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turn aside his heart.
Srɔ̃ alafa adre kple ahiãvi alafa etɔ̃ nɔ esi. Ame siawo trɔ Fia Solomo ƒe dzi ɖa tso Yehowa ŋu,
4 And it comes to pass, at the time of Solomon’s old age, his wives have turned aside his heart after other gods, and his heart has not been perfect with his God YHWH, like the heart of his father David.
vevietɔ le eƒe tsitsime. Wodo ŋusẽe be wòasubɔ woƒe mawuwo le esime wòasubɔ Yehowa, eƒe Mawu le nyateƒe me kple dzi blibo abe ale si fofoa, Fia David wɔ ene la teƒe.
5 And Solomon goes after Ashtoreth goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites;
Solomo subɔ Astarɔt, Sidontɔwo ƒe nyɔnumawu kple Milkom, Amonitɔwo ƒe ŋunyɔmawu la.
6 and Solomon does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and has not been fully after YHWH, like his father David.
Ale Solomo wɔ nu vɔ̃ eye medze Yehowa yome abe fofoa, Fia David ene o.
7 Then Solomon builds a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the hill that [is] on the front of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the sons of Ammon;
Etu nuxeƒe aɖe gɔ̃ hã ɖe Amito la dzi le balime la godo tso Yerusalem, na Kemos, Moabtɔwo ƒe ŋunyɔmawu la eye wògatu bubu na Molek, Amonitɔwo ƒe ŋunyɔmawu la hã.
8 and so he has done for all his strange women, who are perfuming and sacrificing to their gods.
Solomo tu nuxeƒewo na srɔ̃a dzronyɔnuwo be woado dzudzɔ eye woasa vɔwo na woƒe mawuwo le teƒe mawo.
9 And YHWH shows Himself angry with Solomon, for his heart has turned aside from YHWH, God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe Solomo ŋu elabena eƒe dzi ɖe ɖa le Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, ame si ɖe eɖokui fiae zi eve la ŋu.
10 and given a charge to him concerning this thing, not to go after other gods; and he has not kept that which YHWH commanded,
Togbɔ be ede se na Solomo be megadze mawu bubuwo yome o hã la, Solomo mewɔ Yehowa ƒe se la dzi o.
11 and YHWH says to Solomon, “Because that this has been with you, and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes that I charged on you, I surely tear the kingdom from you, and have given it to your servant.
Ale Yehowa gblɔ na Solomo be, “Esi wònye esiae nye wò nɔnɔme eye mèzɔ ɖe nye nubabla kple nye se siwo mede na wò nu o ta la, maxɔ fiaɖuƒe la le asiwò kokoko eye matsɔe na tewòviwo dometɔ ɖeka.
12 Only, I do not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David; I tear it out of the hand of your son;
Ke le fofowò, Fia David ta la, nyemawɔ nu sia le wò agbenɔɣi o. Maxɔe le viwò si.
13 only, I do not tear away all of the kingdom; I give one tribe to your son, for the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem that I have chosen.”
Ke nyemaxɔ fiaɖuƒe la katã le esi o; matsɔ to ɖeka nɛ le David, nye dɔla kple Yerusalem, du si metia la ta.”
14 And YHWH raises up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he [is] of the seed of the king in Edom;
Ale Yehowa na Hadad, Edomtɔ la de asi ŋusẽkpɔkpɔ me. Solomo de asi vɔvɔ̃ me elabena Hadad tso fiaƒome me le Edom.
15 and it comes to pass, in David’s being with Edom, in the going up of Joab head of the host to bury the slain, that he strikes every male in Edom—
Ƒe geɖewo do ŋgɔ na nyadzɔdzɔ sia, esi David kplɔ Yoab yi Edom be yewoaɖi Israelvi aɖewo, ame siwo ku le aʋa me la, Israelviwo wu ŋutsuwo katã kloe le Edomnyigba blibo la dzi.
16 for six months Joab abided there, and all Israel, until the cutting off of every male in Edom—
Nu sia wɔwɔ xɔ ɣleti ade. Mlɔeba la, wowu ŋutsuawo katã kloe le Edom negbe Hadad kple fiaŋume ʋɛ aɖewo koe susɔ.
17 and Hadad flees, he and certain Edomites, of the servants of his father, with him, to go to Egypt, and Hadad [is] a little youth,
Hadad nye ɖevi sue aɖe ɣe ma ɣi. Fiaŋumewo kple Hadad si to Midian, yi Paran, afi si Edomtɔwo va kpe wo le eye woyi Egipte.
18 and they rise out of Midian, and come into Paran, and take men with them out of Paran, and come into Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he gives a house to him, and has commanded bread for him, and has given land to him.
Fia Farao na dzeƒe kple nuɖuɖu wo.
19 And Hadad finds grace in the eyes of Pharaoh exceedingly, and he gives to him a wife, the sister of his own wife, sister of Tahpenes the mistress;
Hadad va zu Fia Farao xɔlɔ̃ vevitɔwo dometɔ ɖeka. Farao tsɔ Fianyɔnu Tapenes nɔvinyɔnu nɛ wòɖe.
20 and the sister of Tahpenes bears to him his son Genubath, and Tahpenes weans him within the house of Pharaoh, and Genubath is in the house of Pharaoh in the midst of the sons of Pharaoh.
Srɔ̃a dzi ŋutsuvi Gebubat nɛ eye wonyi Gebubat le Fia Farao ƒe fiasã me le fia la ŋutɔ ƒe viŋutsuwo dome.
21 And Hadad has heard in Egypt that David has lain with his fathers, and that Joab head of the host is dead, and Hadad says to Pharaoh, “Send me away, and I go to my land.”
Esi Hadad se le Egipte be David kple Yoab siaa ku la, ebia mɔ Fia Farao be yeagbugbɔ ayi Edom.
22 And Pharaoh says to him, “But what are you lacking with me, that behold, you are seeking to go to your own land?” And he says, “Nothing, but you certainly send me away.”
Fia Farao biae be, “Nu ka ta? Nu kae hiã wò le afi sia? Ɖe míegbe nane si nèkpɔ mɔ na la wɔwɔ na wòa?” Hadad ɖo eŋu be, “Èkpɔ dzinye nyuie ŋutɔ gake hã la, medi be magbugbɔ yi mía de.”
23 And God raises an adversary against him, Rezon son of Eliadah, who has fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord,
Solomo ƒe futɔ bubu si Mawu na wòkpɔ ŋusẽe nye Eliada ƒe vi Rezɔn, Zoba fia Hadadezer ŋume ɖeka si dzo le fia la gbɔ kple anyigba la dzi.
24 and gathers men to himself, and is head of a troop in David’s slaying them, and they go to Damascus, and dwell in it, and reign in Damascus;
Esi Fia David gbã Zoba dua la, Rezɔn si kple ame aɖewo yi Damasko, ame siawo va zu adzoha aɖe eye Rezɔn nye woƒe kplɔla. Emegbe la, Rezɔn va zu fia le Damasko.
25 and he is an adversary against Israel all the days of Solomon (besides the evil that Hadad [did]), and he cuts off in Israel, and reigns over Aram.
Rezon kple Hadad nye Israel ƒe futɔ le Solomo ƒe agbenɔɣi. Ale Rezon ɖu fia le Aram eye wòlé fu Israel kaɖikaɖi.
26 And Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zereda—the name of whose mother [is] Zeruah, a widow woman—servant to Solomon, he also lifts up a hand against the king;
Aglãdzelawo ƒe kplɔla ɖeka hãe nye Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi, ame si tso Zereda du la me le Efraimnyigba dzi. Dadaa nye ahosi aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Zerua.
27 and this [is] the thing [for] which he lifted up a hand against the king: Solomon built Millo—he shut up the breach of the city of his father David,
Ale si wòtso ɖe Fia Solomo ŋue nye esi: Solomo tu Milo mɔ eye wònɔ fofoa, David ƒe du la ƒe gliwo dzram ɖo.
28 and the man Jeroboam [is] mighty in valor, and Solomon sees that the young man is doing business, and appoints him over all the burden of the house of Joseph.
Ke Yeroboam nye ame nuteƒewɔla aɖe eye esi Solomo kpɔ ale si wòwɔa eƒe dɔ nyuie la, etsɔe ɖo Yosef ƒe aƒe blibo la ƒe dɔlawo nu.
29 And it comes to pass, at that time, that Jeroboam has gone out from Jerusalem, and Ahijah the Shilonite, the prophet, finds him in the way, and he is covering himself with a new garment; and both of them [are] by themselves in a field,
Gbe ɖeka esi Yeroboam nɔ dzodzom le Yerusalem la, Nyagblɔɖila Ahiya tso Silo do goe. Ahiya do awu ʋlaya yeye aɖe na gbe ma gbe ƒe wɔnawo. Ahiya do go Yeroboam eye wòɖee ɖe aga be yeaƒo nu kplii. Esi wo ame eve la nɔ gbedzi la,
30 and Ahijah lays hold on the new garment that [is] on him, and tears it [into] twelve pieces,
Ahiya dze eƒe awu ʋlaya yeye la ɖe akpa wuieve me.
31 and says to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Behold, I am tearing the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and have given the ten tribes to you,
Egblɔ na Yeroboam be, “Xɔ awu dzedze ewo siawo elabena, Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ be, ‘Madze fiaɖuƒe la me le Solomo si eye matsɔ toawo dometɔ ewo na wò!
32 but he has the one tribe for My servant David’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have fixed on, out of all the tribes of Israel,
Ke magble Yuda kple Benyamin ɖi nɛ le nye dɔla, David kple Yerusalem, si nye du si metia le Israel duwo katã dome la ta
33 because they have forsaken Me, and bow themselves to Ashtoreth, goddess of the Zidonians, to Chemosh god of Moab, and to Milcom god of the sons of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways, to do that which [is] right in My eyes, and My statutes and My judgments, like his father David.
elabena Solomo gbe nu le gbɔnye eye wòsubɔ Astarɔt, Sidontɔwo ƒe nyɔnumawu kple Kemos, Moabtɔwo ƒe mawu kple Milkom, Amonitɔwo ƒe mawu. Mezɔ le nye mɔ dzi o, eye mewɔ nu si nyo le nye ŋkume o. Gawu la, mewɔ nye sewo kple ɖoɖowo dzi abe fofoa, David ene o.
34 And I do not take the whole of the kingdom out of his hand, for I make him prince all [the] days of his life, for the sake of My servant David whom I chose, who kept My commands and My statutes;
“‘Nyemaxɔ fiaɖuƒe la le esi fifia o, ke le nye dɔla, David ame si metia, ame si wɔ nye seawo dzi ta la, mana Solomo naɖu fia le eƒe agbemeŋkeke mamlɛawo me.
35 and I have taken the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and given it to you—the ten tribes;
Ke maxɔ fiaɖuƒe la le via si eye matsɔ toawo dometɔ ewo na wò.
36 and to his son I give one tribe, for there being a lamp before Me for My servant David in Jerusalem [for] all the days, the city that I have chosen for Myself to put My Name there.
Solomo ƒe vi axɔ eve mamlɛawo ale be, David ƒe dzidzimeviwo ayi fiaɖuɖu dzi le Yerusalem, du si metia be wòanye teƒe si ŋu nye ŋkɔ anɔ la ta.
37 And I take you, and you have reigned over all that your soul desires, and you have been king over Israel;
Matsɔ wò aɖo Israel ƒe fiazikpui dzi eye mana nàkpɔ ŋusẽ blibo.
38 and it has been, if you hear all that I command you, and have walked in My ways, and done that which is right in My eyes, to keep My statutes and My commands, as My servant David did, that I have been with you, and have built a steadfast house for you, as I built for David, and have given Israel to you,
Ne èɖo to nya si megblɔ na wò, ne èzɔ le nye mɔ dzi, ne èwɔ nye seawo dzi abe David ene la, ekema mayra wò eye wò dzidzimeviwo aɖu Israel dzi tegbetegbe. Medo ŋugbe sia ke na David kpɔ.
39 and I humble the seed of David for this; only, not [for] all the days.”
Ke le Solomo ƒe nu vɔ̃ ta la, mahe to na David ƒe dzidzimeviwo, ke menye tegbetegbe o.’”
40 And Solomon seeks to put Jeroboam to death, and Jeroboam rises and flees to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and he is in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
Solomo di be yeawu Yeroboam, ke Yeroboam si yi Fia Sisak gbɔ le Egipte eye wònɔ afi ma va se ɖe esime Fia Solomo ku.
41 And the rest of the matters of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written on the scroll of the matters of Solomon?
Woŋlɔ nu bubu siwo Fia Solomo wɔ la ɖe Agbalẽ si woyɔna be, Solomo ƒe Wɔnawo ƒe Agbalẽ la me.
42 And the days that Solomon has reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [are] forty years,
Ale Fia Solomo ɖu fia le Yerusalem ɖe Israel dukɔ blibo la dzi ƒe blaene.
43 and Solomon lies with his fathers, and is buried in the city of his father David, and his son Rehoboam reigns in his stead.
Esi wòku la, woɖii ɖe fofoa, David ƒe du la me eye via Rehoboam ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
