1 Kings 11

1 But, King Solomon, loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, —women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, Hittites:

Kabaka Sulemaani yayagala abakazi bannaggwanga bangi: Abamowaabu, n’Abamoni, n’Abayedomu, n’Abasidoni, n’Abakiiti, ng’okwo kw’ogasse muwala wa Falaawo,

2 out of the nations concerning whom Yahweh had said unto the sons of Israel—Ye shall not go in unto them, and, they, shall not come in unto you, surely they will turn aside your heart after their gods. Unto these, did Solomon cleave in love.

nga bava mu mawanga Mukama ge yayogerako ng’alabula Abayisirayiri nti, “Temufumbiriganwanga nabo kubanga tebalirema kukyusa mitima gyammwe okugoberera bakatonda baabwe.” Naye omutima gwa Sulemaani ne guwugulwa, era naabagala.

3 So it came to pass that he had seven hundred wives who were princesses, and three hundred concubines, —and, his wives, turned aside, his heart.

Sulemaani yalina abakyala lusanvu abambejja, n’abakazi abalala ebikumi bisatu, era abo bonna ne bamuwabya.

4 Yea it came to pass, in the old age of Solomon, that, his wives, turned aside his heart after other gods, —his heart therefore was not sound with Yahweh his God, as was the heart of David his father.

Mu bisera bya Sulemaani eby’obukadde, bakyala be ne basendasenda omutima gwe okugoberera bakatonda abalala.

5 And Solomon went after Ashtoreth, goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom, the abomination of the Ammonites.

N’atanula okusinza Asutoleesi katonda omukazi ow’Abasidoni, ne Mirukomu katonda ow’omuzizo ow’Abamoni.

6 Thus Solomon did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and went not fully after Yahweh, as did David his father.

Sulemaani n’akola ebitaali bya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama n’atagobererera ddala Mukama, n’atakola nga Dawudi kitaawe bwe yakola.

7 Then, did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, —and for Molech, the abomination of the sons of Ammon;

Sulemaani n’azimba ebifo ebigulumivu ku kasozi akali ebuvanjuba w’e Yerusaalemi, ng’abizimbira Kemosi katonda ow’omuzizo ow’Abamowaabu, ne Moleki katonda ow’omuzizo ow’Abamoni.

8 and, thus, did he for all his foreign wives, —who burned incense and offered sacrifices unto their gods.

Bakyala be bonna bannamawanga, abaayoterezanga obubaane eri bakatonda baabwe, nabo n’abakolera bw’atyo.

9 Therefore did Yahweh shew himself angry with Solomon, —because his heart had turned aside from Yahweh God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice;

Mukama n’asunguwalira Sulemaani kubanga omutima gwe gwava ku Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, eyamulabikira emirundi ebiri.

10 and had been giving command to him concerning this thing, that he should not go away after other gods, —but he had not taken heed unto that which Yahweh had commanded.

Newaakubadde nga Mukama yali alabudde Sulemaani obutagoberera bakatonda abalala, Sulemaani teyagondera kiragiro kya Mukama.

11 Wherefore Yahweh said unto Solomon—Forasmuch as this hath come to pass with thee, and thou hast not heeded my covenant and my statutes, which I charged upon thee, I will, rend, the kingdom away from thee, and will give it unto a servant of thine.

Mukama kyeyava agamba Sulemaani nti, “Olw’empisa zo, n’obutakuuma ndagaano yange newaakubadde okugondera amateeka gange ge nakulagira, ndikuggyako obwakabaka, ne mbuwa omu ku baddu bo.

12 Notwithstanding, in thine own days, will I not do it, for the sake of David thy father, —out of the hand of thy son, will I rend it.

Naye olwa Dawudi kitaawo, ekyo sirikikola mu biro byo, ndikikola, mutabani wo atandise okufuga.

13 Howbeit, all the kingdom, will I not rend away, one tribe, will I give unto thy son, —for the sake of David my servant, and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.

Ate era sirimuggyako bwakabaka bwonna, naye ndimuwa ekika kimu ku lwa Dawudi omuddu wange, n’olwa Yerusaalemi, kye neerondera.”

14 And Yahweh raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite, —of the seed of the king, was he, in Edom.

Awo Mukama n’ayimusiza Sulemaani omulabe erinnya lye Kadadi Omwedomu, ow’olulyo olulangira mu Edomu.

15 And it came to pass, when David was dealing with Edom, and Joab general of the army went up to bury the slain, —and had smitten every male in Edom, —

Emabegako Dawudi bwe yali alwana ne Edomu, Yowaabu omuduumizi w’eggye eyali agenze okuziika Abayisirayiri abaali battiddwa, yasigalayo n’atta abasajja bonna mu Edomu.

16 for, six months, did Joab remain there, with all Israel, —until he had cut off every male in Edom,

Yowaabu n’Abayisirayiri bonna be yagenda nabo ne babeera eyo okumala emyezi mukaaga, okutuusa lwe baasaanyaawo abasajja bonna mu Edomu.

17 that Hadad fled, he and certain men of Edom of the servants of his father, with him, to go into Egypt, —Hadad being a little boy.

Naye Kadadi, ng’akyali mulenzi, yaddukira e Misiri n’abakungu abamu Abayedomu abaweerezanga kitaawe.

18 So they arose out of Midian, and came into Paran, —and took certain men with them out of Paran, and came into Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and, food, appointed him, and, land, did give unto him.

Ne bagolokoka okuva mu Midiyaani okugenda e Palani. Ne bafuna abasajja okuva mu Palani, ne bagenda e Misiri, ewa Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri, eyamuwa ennyumba ne ttaka, era n’amuwanga n’emmere ey’okulya.

19 And Hadad found great favour in the eyes of Pharaoh, —so that he gave him to wife, the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

Awo Kadadi n’alaba ekisa mu maaso ga Falaawo n’okumuwa n’amuwa mulamu we, muganda wa Tapenesi kaddulubaale, okumufumbirwa.

20 And the sister of Tahpenes bare to him Genubath his son, and Tahpenes weaned him, in the house of Pharaoh, —and so it came about, that Genubath was of the household of Pharaoh, among the sons of Pharaoh.

Muganda wa Tapenesi n’azaalira Kadadi omwana wabulenzi n’amutuuma Genubasi, era Tapenesi n’amutwala mu lubiri okumulabirira. Genubasi n’akulira eyo wamu n’abaana ba Falaawo.

21 And, when, Hadad, heard in Egypt, that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab general of the army was dead, Hadad said unto Pharaoh, Let me go, that I may take my journey unto mine own land.

Kadadi bwe yali mu Misiri, n’awulira nti Dawudi yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe era nga ne Yowaabu omuduumizi w’eggye yafa, n’agamba Falaawo nti, “Ka nzireyo ewaffe mu nsi yange.”

22 Then said Pharaoh unto him—But what hast thou been lacking with me, that lo! thou art seeking to take thy journey unto thine own land? And he said—Nothing, howbeit, let me go.

Falaawo n’amubuuza nti, “Kiki ky’otofunye wano, ekikwagaza okuddayo mu nsi yo?” Kadadi n’amuddamu nti, “Tewali, naye nzikiriza ŋŋende.”

23 And God raised up against him an adversary, Rezon son of Eliada, —who had fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord;

Katonda n’ayimusiza Sulemaani, omulabe omulala, erinnya lye Lezoni mutabani wa Eriyada, eyali adduse ku mukama we Kadadezeri kabaka w’e Zoba.

24 and he gathered unto him men, and became captain of a band when David slew them [of Zobah], —then went they to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.

Dawudi bwe yatta eggye ly’e Zoba, Lezoni n’akuŋŋaanya abasajja abajeemu n’afuuka mukulu waabwe, n’addukira e Ddamasiko, n’akiwamba, n’abeera eyo nga gy’afugira.

25 Thus became he an adversary unto Israel, all the days of Solomon, this, is the mischief which Hadad did, —so then, he abhorred Israel, when he reigned over Syria.

Yali mulabe wa Isirayiri ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwa Sulemaani, ng’okwo kw’otadde emitawaana Kadadi gye yaleetera Isirayiri. Lezoni n’addukira mu Alamu, era n’abeera mulabe wa Isirayiri omuzibu ennyo.

26 Jeroboam also, son of Nebat, an Ephrathite from Zeredah, whose, mother’s name, was Zeruah, a widow woman, he being servant to Solomon, lifted up a hand against the king.

Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, Omwefulayimu ow’e Zereda, nnyina nga ye nnamwandu wa Zeruwa, ate nga y’omu ku bakungu ba Sulemaani, n’ajeemera kabaka.

27 And, this, was the cause that he lifted up a hand against the king, —Solomon, built Millo, he closed up of the of David his father. the breach city

Eno y’engeri gye yajeemeramu kabaka: Sulemaani yali azimbye obusenge obuwagika, ng’azibye ebituli ebyali mu bbugwe ow’ekibuga kya Dawudi kitaawe.

28 Now, the man Jeroboam, being an able Solomon observed his servant, that he man, was, one to execute a work, so he gave him oversight of all the charge of the house of Joseph.

Yerobowaamu yali musajja mwesimbu, era Sulemaani bwe yalaba omulimu gwe omulungi, n’amusiima n’amufuula omukulu w’emirimu gyonna egy’amaanyi mu nnyumba ya Yusufu.

29 And it came to pass, at that time, when, Jeroboam, went forth out of Jerusalem, that there met him Ahijah the Shilonite, the prophet, in the way, he having wrapped himself about with a new mantle; and, they two, were by themselves, in the field.

Awo mu biro ebyo Yerobowaamu bwe yali ng’ava mu Yerusaalemi, n’asisinkana Akiya nnabbi w’e Siiro ng’ayambadde ekyambalo ekiggya, baali bokka ku ttale.

30 Then Ahijah laid hold of the new mantle, that was upon him, —and rent it into twelve pieces;

Akiya n’addira ekyambalo kye n’akiyuzaamu ebitundu kkumi na bibiri.

31 and said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten places, —for Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel—Behold me! about to rend the kingdom, out of the hand of Solomon, and I will give unto thee ten tribes:

N’agamba Yerobowaamu nti, “Weetwalire ebitundu kkumi, kubanga bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Laba, ŋŋenda kuggya ku Sulemaani obwakabaka, nkuweeko ebika kkumi.

32 Howbeit, one tribe, shall he retain, —for the sake of my servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen, out of all the tribes of Israel:

Naye olw’omuddu wange Dawudi n’ekibuga Yerusaalemi, kye neerondera mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri, alisigazaako ekika kimu.

33 Because they have forsaken me, and bowed themselves down to Ashtoreth, goddess of the Zidonians, to Chemosh, god of the Moabites, and to Milcom, god of the sons of Ammon, —and have not walked in my ways, by doing what is right in mine eyes, even my statutes and my regulations, like David his father.

Kino ndikikola kubanga banvuddeko ne basinza Asutoleesi katonda omukazi ow’Abamoni, ne batatambulira mu kkubo lyange, wadde okukola ebituufu mu maaso gange newaakubadde okugondera ebiragiro byange oba amateeka gange, nga Dawudi kitaawe wa Sulemaani bwe yakola.

34 Yet will I not take all the kingdom out of his hand, —but will suffer him to be, leader, all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant, whom I chose, —who kept my commandments and my statutes.

“‘Naye Sulemaani sirimuggyako bwakabaka bwonna, wabula ndimuleka nga y’afuga ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe olw’omuddu wange Dawudi, gwe nalonda era eyagondera amateeka n’ebiragiro byange.

35 But I will take the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and will give it to thee, even the ten tribes.

Ndiggya obwakabaka ku mutabani wa Sulemaani, ne nkuwa ebika kkumi.

36 Nevertheless, go his son, will I give one tribe, —to the end there may remain a lamp unto David my servant always before me, in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen for myself, to put my Name there.

Ekika ekimu ndikiwa mutabani we, omuddu wange Dawudi abeerenga n’ettabaaza mu maaso gange mu Yerusaalemi, ekibuga kye neeroboza olw’erinnya lyange.

37 But, thee, will I take, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul could desire, —and thou shalt be king over Israel.

Wabula, ggwe ndikutwala, era olifuga wonna omutima gwo gye gulisiima, era olibeera kabaka wa Isirayiri.

38 So shall it be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that which is right in mine eyes, by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as did David my servant, then will I be with thee, and will build thee an assured house, as I have built for David, and will give unto thee, Israel.

Bw’onoogonderanga byonna bye nkulagira n’otambuliranga mu makubo gange, era n’okolanga ebituufu mu maaso gange ng’okugonderanga ebiragiro n’amateeka gange, nga Dawudi omuddu wange bwe yakola, nnaabeeranga naawe. Ndikukolera ekika eky’enkalakkalira, nga kye nakolera Dawudi, era ndikuwa ne Isirayiri.

39 Thus will I humiliate the seed of David, because of this; yet not for ever.

Kyendiva nzikakkanya ezzadde lya Dawudi, naye si bbanga lyonna.’”

40 When therefore Solomon sought to put, Jeroboam, to death, Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, —and remained in Egypt, until the death of Solomon.

Sulemaani n’agezaako okutta Yerobowaamu, naye Yerobowaamu n’addukira e Misiri, ewa Sisaki kabaka waayo, n’abeera eyo okutuusa Sulemaani bwe yafa.

41 Now, the rest of the story of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are, they, not written in the book of the records of Solomon?

Ebyo byonna ebyabaawo ku mulembe gwa Sulemaani, ne byonna bye yakola, n’amagezi ge yalaga, byawandiikibwa mu bitabo eby’ebyafaayo ebya Sulemaani.

42 Now, the days which Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all Israel, were forty years.

Sulemaani yafuga Isirayiri yonna ng’ali mu Yerusaalemi okumala emyaka amakumi ana.

43 So then Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father, —and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

N’afa n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi kitaawe. Awo Lekobowaamu mutabani we n’amusikira.
