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,
Rex autem Salomon adamavit mulieres alienigenas multas, filiam quoque Pharaonis, et Moabitidas, et Ammonitidas, Idumaeas, et Sidonias, et Cethaeas:
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.
de gentibus, super quibus dixit Dominus filiis Israel: Non ingrediemini ad eas, neque de illis ingredientur ad vestras: certissime enim avertent corda vestra ut sequamini deos earum. His itaque copulatus est Salomon ardentissimo amore.
3 And he has seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turn aside his heart.
Fueruntque ei uxores quasi reginae septingentae, et concubinae trecentae: et averterunt mulieres cor eius.
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.
Cumque iam esset senex, depravatum est cor eius per mulieres, ut sequeretur deos alienos: nec erat cor eius perfectum cum Domino Deo suo, sicut cor David patris eius.
5 And Solomon goes after Ashtoreth goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites;
Sed colebat Salomon Astarthen deam Sidoniorum, et Chamos Deus Moabitarum, et Moloch idolum Ammonitarum.
6 and Solomon does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and has not been fully after YHWH, like his father David.
Fecitque Salomon quod non placuerat coram Domino, et non adimplevit ut sequeretur Dominum, sicut David pater eius.
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;
Tunc aedificavit Salomon fanum Chamos, idolo Moab, in monte qui est contra Ierusalem, et Moloch idolo filiorum Ammon.
8 and so he has done for all his strange women, who are perfuming and sacrificing to their gods.
Atque in hunc modum fecit universis uxoribus suis alienigenis, quae adolebant thura, et immolabant diis suis.
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,
Igitur iratus est Dominus Salomoni, quod aversa esset mens eius a Domino Deo Israel, qui apparuerat ei secundo,
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,
et praeceperat de verbo hoc ne sequeretur deos alienos, et non custodivit quae mandavit ei Dominus.
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.
Dixit itaque Dominus Salomoni: Quia habuisti hoc apud te, et non custodisti pactum meum, et praecepta mea, quae mandavi tibi, disrumpens scindam regnum tuum, et dabo illud servo tuo.
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;
Verumtamen in diebus tuis non faciam propter David patrem tuum: de manu filii tui scindam illud,
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.”
nec totum regnum auferam, sed tribum unam dabo filio tuo propter David servum meum, et Ierusalem quam elegi.
14 And YHWH raises up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he [is] of the seed of the king in Edom;
Suscitavit autem Dominus adversarium Salomoni Adad Idumaeum de semine regio, qui erat in 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—
Cum enim esset David in Idumaea, et ascendisset Ioab princeps militiae ad sepeliendum eos, qui fuerant interfecti, et occidisset omnem masculinum in Idumaea
16 for six months Joab abided there, and all Israel, until the cutting off of every male in Edom—
(sex enim mensibus ibi moratus est Ioab, et omnis Israel, donec interimeret omne masculinum in Idumaea)
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,
fugit Adad ipse, et viri Idumaei de servis patris eius cum eo, ut ingrederetur Aegyptum: erat autem Adad puer parvulus.
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.
Cumque surrexissent de Madian, venerunt in Pharan, tuleruntque secum viros de Pharan, et introierunt Aegyptum ad Pharaonem regem Aegypti: qui dedit ei domum, et cibos constituit, et terram delegavit.
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;
Et invenit Adad gratiam coram Pharaone valde, in tantum ut daret ei uxorem, sororem uxoris suae germanam Taphnes reginae.
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.
Genuitque ei soror Taphnes Genubath filium, et nutrivit eum Taphnes in domo Pharaonis: eratque Genubath habitans apud Pharaonem cum filiis eius.
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.”
Cumque audisset Adad in Aegypto, dormisse David cum patribus suis, et mortuum esse Ioab principem militiae, dixit Pharaoni: Dimitte me, ut vadam in terram meam.
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.”
Dixitque ei Pharao: Qua enim re apud me indiges, ut quaeras ire ad terram tuam? At ille respondit: Nulla: sed obsecro te ut dimittas me.
23 And God raises an adversary against him, Rezon son of Eliadah, who has fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord,
Suscitavit quoque ei Deus adversarium Razon filium Eliada, qui fugerat Adarezer regem Soba dominum suum:
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;
et congregavit contra eum viros, et factus est princeps latronum cum interficeret eos David: abieruntque Damascum, et habitaverunt ibi, et constituerunt eum regem in Damasco,
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.
eratque adversarius Israeli cunctis diebus Salomonis: et hoc est malum Adad, et odium contra Israel, regnavitque in Syria.
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;
Ieroboam quoque filius Nabat, Ephrathaeus, de Sareda, servus Salomonis, cuius mater erat nomine Sarva, mulier vidua: levavit manum contra regem.
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,
Et haec est causa rebellionis adversus eum, quia Salomon aedificavit Mello, et coaequavit voraginem civitatis David patris sui.
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.
Erat autem Ieroboam vir fortis et potens: vidensque Salomon adolescentem bonae indolis et industrium, constituerat eum praefectum super tributa universae domus Ioseph.
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,
Factum est igitur in tempore illo, ut Ieroboam egrederetur de Ierusalem, et inveniret eum Ahias Silonites propheta in via, opertus pallio novo: erant autem duo tantum in agro.
30 and Ahijah lays hold on the new garment that [is] on him, and tears it [into] twelve pieces,
Apprehendensque Ahias pallium suum novum, quo coopertus erat, scidit in duodecim partes.
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,
Et ait ad Ieroboam: Tolle tibi decem scissuras: haec enim dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Ecce ego scindam regnum de manu Salomonis, et dabo tibi decem tribus.
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,
Porro una tribus remanebit ei propter servum meum David, et Ierusalem civitatem, quam elegi ex omnibus tribubus Israel:
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.
eo quod dereliquerit me, et adoraverit Astarthen deam Sidoniorum, et Chamos deum Moab, et Moloch deum filiorum Ammon: et non ambulaverit in viis meis, ut faceret iustitiam coram me, et praecepta mea, et iudicia sicut David pater eius.
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;
Nec auferam omne regnum de manu eius, sed ducem ponam eum cunctis diebus vitae suae, propter David servum meum, quem elegi, qui custodivit mandata mea et praecepta mea.
35 and I have taken the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and given it to you—the ten tribes;
Auferam autem regnum de manu filii eius, et dabo tibi decem tribus:
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.
filio autem eius dabo tribum unam, ut remaneat lucerna David servo meo cunctis diebus coram me in Ierusalem civitate, quam elegi ut esset nomen meum ibi.
37 And I take you, and you have reigned over all that your soul desires, and you have been king over Israel;
Te autem assumam, et regnabis super omnia, quae desiderat anima tua, erisque rex super Israel.
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,
Si igitur audieris omnia, quae praecepero tibi, et ambulaveris in viis meis, et feceris quod rectum est coram me, custodiens mandata mea et praecepta mea, sicut fecit David servus meus: ero tecum, et aedificabo tibi domum fidelem, quomodo aedificavi David domum, et tradam tibi Israel:
39 and I humble the seed of David for this; only, not [for] all the days.”
et affligam semen David super hoc, verumtamen non cunctis diebus.
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.
Voluit ergo Salomon interficere Ieroboam: qui surrexit, et aufugit in Aegyptum ad Sesac regem Aegypti, et fuit in Aegypto usque ad mortem Salomonis.
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?
Reliquum autem verborum Salomonis, et omnia quae fecit, et sapientia eius: ecce universa scripta sunt in Libro verborum dierum Salomonis.
42 And the days that Solomon has reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [are] forty years,
Dies autem, quos regnavit Salomon in Ierusalem super omnem Israel, quadraginta anni sunt.
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.
Dormivitque Salomon cum patribus suis, et sepultus est in Civitate David patris sui, regnavitque Roboam filius eius pro eo.
