1 Kings 11
1 Now king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
Basi mfalme Sulemani aliwapenda wanawake wengi wa kigeni: binti wa Farao na wanawake wa Wamoabu, Waamori, Waedomu, Wasidoni, na Wahiti - Haya na
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 clave unto these in love.
mataifa ambayo BWANA alikuwa amewaambia Waisraeli kwamba, “Msiwaoe, wala binti zenu kuolewa nao, kwani kwa hakika wataigeuza mioyo yenu ili mfuate miungu yao.” Lakini Sulemani aliwapenda wanawake hao.
3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
Sulemani alikuwa na wanawake halali mia saba na masuria mia tatu. Wake zake waliugeuza moyo wake.
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 perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
Kwa kuwa Sulemani alipozeeka, wake zake waliugeuza moyo wake kwa miungu mingine; hakuutoa moyo wake wote 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 abomination of the Ammonites.
Kwani Sulemani alimfuata Ashtoreth, mungu mke wa Wasidoni, na alimfuata Milkom, ambayo ni sanamu chukizo ya Waamori.
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.
Sulemani akafanya maovu mbele ya BWANA; hakumfuata BWANA kwa moyo wake wote, kama alivyofanya Daudi baba yake.
7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
Kisha Sulemani akajenga mahali pa juu pa Kemoshi, ambayo ni sanamu chukizo ya Wamoabu, mashariki mwa Yerusalemu juu ya kilima, na vivyo hivyo na Moleki, Sanamu chukizo ya Waamoni.
8 And so did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
Na kadhalika ndivyo alivyowafanyia wake zake wa kigeni, ambao walifukiza uvumba na kutoa sadaka kwa miungu yao.
9 And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
BWANA alichukizwa na Sulemani, kwa sababu moyo wake ulikuwa umemwacha Mungu wa Israeli, ingawa alikuwa amejionyesha kwake 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.
na kumwamuru juu ya mambo haya, kwamba asiwaendee miungu wengine. Bali Sulemani hakutii kile ambacho BWANA alikuwa amemwamuru.
11 Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, 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 Sulemani, “Kwa kuwa umeyafanya haya haukulishika agano langu na maagizo ambayo nilikuamuru, basi nitaugawa ufalme kutoka kwako na kuwapatia watumishi wako.
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, sitalifanya hilo wakati wa uhai wako, bali nitaugawa wakati ukiwa chini ya 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.
Bado sitaugawanya ufalme wote; Nitampa mwanao kabila moja kwa ajili ya Daudi mtumishi wangu, na kwa ajili ya Yerusalemu, ambayo nimeichagua.”
14 And the LORD raised up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seed in Edom.
Kisha BWANA akamwinulia uadui Sulemani, Hadadi Mwedomu. Alikuwa anatoka kwenye familiia ya mfalme 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;
Daudi alipokuwa Edomu, Yoabu mkuu wa jeshi alikuwa ameenda kuzika mfu, kila mtu aliyekuwa ameuawa kule Edomu.
16 (for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom; )
Yoabu na Israeli yote walibaki huko kwa miezi sita mpaka alipokuwa amewaua wanaume wote wa 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 alichulukuliwa na Waedomu wengine na watumishi wa baba yake hadi Misri, kuanzia Hadadi alipokuwa mtoto mdogo.
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; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.
Waliondoka Midiani wakaja Parani, ambapo walichukuliwa na wanaume mpaka Misri, kwa Farao wa Misri, ambaye alimpa nyumba na ardhi yenye 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,
Hadadi alipata neema kubwa machoni pa Farao, kwa hiyoFarao akampatia mke, umbu wa mke wake mwenyewe, umbu la Tapenesi aliyekuwa Malkia.
20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house among the sons of Pharaoh.
Naye huyo umbu la Tapenesi alimzalia Hadadi mwana. Wakamwita jina lake Genubathi. Tapenesi akamlea katika ikulu ya Farao. Kwa hiyo Genubathi alikulia kwenye ikulu ya Farao pamoja na watoto wa Farao.
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.
Naye alipokuwa huko Misri, Hadadi alisikia kuwa Daudi alishalala na mababu zake na kwamba Yoabu mkuu wa majeshi alishakufa, Hadadi akamwambia Farao, “Acha niondoke nirudi nchini kwangu.”
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.
Lakini Farao alimwambia, “Umepungukiwa nini kwangu, kwamba sasa unatafuta kurudi nchini kwako?” Naye Hadadi akamjibu, “Hapana kitu lakini tafadhali niache niende.”
23 And God raised up [another] adversary unto him, Rezon the son of Eliada, which had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:
Pia Mungu akamwinulia Sulemani adui mwingine, Rezoni mwana wa Eliada, aliyekuwa 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.
Rezoni alijikusanyia wanaume naye akawa mkuu wa jeshi dogo, Daudi ali owapiga wanaume wa Soba. Wale wanume Rezoni walienda Dameski kuishi huko, na Rezoni aliitawala Dameski.
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 Syria.
Yeye akawa adui wa Israeli katika siku zote za mfalme Sulemani, zaidi ya madhara ambayo Hadadi alisababisha. Rezoni akawachukia Israeli na akawa juu ya Shamu
26 And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow woman, he also lifted up his hand against the king.
Kisha Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, mwefraimu wa Sereda, akida wa Sulemani, ambaye jina la mama yake lilikuwa Serua, mjane, pia akainua mkono wake dhidi ya mfalme.
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.
Kisa cha kuinua mkono wake kinyume cha mfalme ilikuwa ni mfalme Sulemani kujenga Milo na kufunga mahali palipobomoka katika 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.
Yeroboamu alikuwa mtu hodari na shujaa. Sulemani akaona kuwa huyo kijana alikuwa na bidii, kwa hiyo akampa kuwa na mamlaka juu ya wafanyakazi katika nyumba ya Yusufu.
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.
Wakati huo, Yeroboamu alipokuwa akitoka katika Yerusalemu, nabii Ahiya Mshilo akamkuta barabarani. Sasa Ahiya alikuwa amevaa vazi jipya na kwamba hawa wawili walikuwa pekee yao kondeni.
30 And Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces.
Kisha Ahiya akalishika lile vazi jipya ambalo alikuwa nalo na akalichana katika 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:
Akamwambia Yeroboamu. “Chukua vipande kumi, kwani BWANA, Mungu wa Israeli, anasema, 'Tazama, Nitaugawa ufalme toka katika mkono wa Sulemani nami nitakupa 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 Sulemani atabaki na kabila moja, kwa ajili ya mtumishi wangu Daudi na kwa ajili ya mji wangu Yerusalemu - mji ambao nimeuchagua toka kwenye kabila zote za Israeli),
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 my judgments, as did David his father.
kwa kuwa ameniacha na kumwabudu Ashtorethi mungu mke wa Wasidoni, Kemoshi Mungu wa Wamoabu, na Milikomu mungu wa watu wa Amoni. Wameziacha njia zangu, hawakufanya kilicho chema katika macho yangu, wala hawa kuzishika amri na maagizo yangu, kama alivyofanya Daudi baba yake.
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:
Hata hivyo. Stauchukua ufalme wote toka kwenye mkono wa Sulemani. Badala yake, nimemfanya kuwa mtawala katika siku zake zote za uhai wake, kwa ajili ya Daudi mtumishi wangu ambaye nilimchagua, mtu ambaye alizishika amri na maagizo yangu.
35 but I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.
Bali nitauchukua ufalme ukiwa chini ya mkono wa mwanae na nitakupa 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 kabila moja mwana wa Sulemani ili kwamba Daudi mtumishi wagu atabaki kuwa nuru mbele yangu huko Yerusalemu, mji ambao nimeuchagua ili niweke jina langu.
37 And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
Nami nitakuchukua, nawe utatawala ili kutimiza haja yako, nawe 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.
Kama utasikiliza yote ninayokuagaza, na kama utatembea katika njia zangu na kufanya kinachopendeza mbele ya macho yangu, ukayashika maagizo na amri zangu, kama Daudi mtumishi wangu alivyofanya, ndipo nitakapokuwa na wewe na nitakujengea nyumba ya uhakika, kama niliyomjengea Daudi, nami nitakupa Israeli.
39 And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for over.
Nitawaadhibu uzao wa Daudi, lakini si 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.
Kwa hiyo Sulemani akajaribu kumwua Yeroboamu. Lakini Yeroboamu akaamka na kukimbilia Misri, Kwa Shishaki mfalme wa Misri, naye akabaki Misri mpaka Sulemani alipokufa.
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?
Na kwa mambo mengine yanayomhusu Sulemani, Yote ambayo alifanya na hekima zake, je, hayakuandikwa katika kitabu cha matukio ya
42 And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
Sulemani? Sulemani alitawala Yerusalemu juu ya Israeli yote kwa miaka arobaini.
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.
Naye akalala na mababu zake na alizikwa katika mji wa Daudi baba yake. Rehoboamu mwanae akawa mfalme mahali pake.
