< 1 Kings 11 >
1 And the king Solomon he loved women foreign many and [the] daughter of Pharaoh Moabite [women] Ammonite [women] Edomite [women] Sidonian [women] Hittite [women].
Farao babaa no akyi no, ɔhene Salomo dɔɔ ananafoɔ mmaa bebree a na wɔyɛ Moabfoɔ, Amonfoɔ, Edomfoɔ, Sidonfoɔ ne Hetifoɔ.
2 From the nations which he had said Yahweh to [the] people of Israel not you must go among them and they not they will go among you truly they will turn aside heart your after gods their to them he cleaved Solomon to love [them].
Na Awurade aka no pefee akyerɛ ne nkurɔfoɔ sɛ, wɔne saa aman no nni awadeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, mmaa a wɔbɛware wɔn no bɛtwetwe wɔn ama wɔakɔsom wɔn anyame. Nanso, Salomo waree wɔn ara.
3 And it belonged to him wives noble ladies seven hundred and concubines three hundred and they turned aside wives his heart his.
Na ɔwɔ yerenom ahanson ne mpenafoɔ ahasa. Na ampa ara wɔtwee ne ɔkra firii Awurade ho.
4 And it was to [the] time of [the] old age of Solomon wives his they turned aside heart his after gods other and not it was heart his complete with Yahweh God his like [the] heart of David father his.
Ɛberɛ a Salomo bɔɔ akɔkoraa no, wɔtwee nʼakoma kɔɔ anyame afoforɔ so, na wamfa ne ho anto Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn so, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Dawid yɛeɛ no.
5 And he walked Solomon after Astarte [the] god of [the] Sidonians and after Milcom [the] detestable thing of [the] Ammonites.
Salomo dii Sidonfoɔ nyamebaa Astoret ne Amonfoɔ nyame Molek a na wɔkyiri no no akyi.
6 And he did Solomon the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and not he filled after Yahweh like David father his.
Enti, Salomo yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Wanni Awurade akyi, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Dawid yɛeɛ no.
7 Then he built Solomon a high place for Chemosh [the] detestable thing of Moab on the mountain which [is] on [the] face of Jerusalem and for Molech [the] detestable thing of [the] people of Ammon.
Salomo sii abosonnan maa Moabfoɔ nyame Kemos, a na ɔyɛ akyiwadeɛ, wɔ Ngo Bepɔ a ɛwɔ Yerusalem apueeɛ fam, na ɔsii bi nso maa Amonfoɔ nyame Molek, a na ɔyɛ akyiwadeɛ.
8 And thus he did for all wives his foreign [who] made smoke and [who] sacrificed to gods their.
Salomo sisii abosonnan yi maa nʼananayerenom nyinaa, sɛ wɔnhye nnuhwam, na wɔmmɔ afɔdeɛ mma wɔn anyame wɔ hɔ.
9 And he was angry Yahweh with Solomon for it had turned aside heart his from with Yahweh [the] God of Israel who had appeared to him two times.
Na Awurade bo fuu Salomo, ɛfiri sɛ, nʼakoma adane afiri Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, a wada ne ho adi akyerɛ no mprenu no ho.
10 And he had commanded to him on the matter this to not to walk after gods other and not he observed [that] which he had commanded Yahweh.
Ɔbɔɔ Salomo kɔkɔ sɛ ɔnni anyame foforɔ akyi, nanso Salomo anni Awurade ahyɛdeɛ so.
11 And he said Yahweh to Solomon because that it has been this with you and not you have observed covenant my and statutes my which I commanded to you certainly I will tear away the kingdom from with you and I will give it to servant your.
Enti, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Salomo sɛ, “Esiane sɛ woanni mʼapam so, na woapo me mmara enti, ampa ara, mɛte ahemman no afiri wo ho, na mede ama wʼasomfoɔ no mu baako.
12 Only in days your not I will do it for [the] sake of David father your from [the] hand of son your I will tear away it.
Nanso, ɛsiane wʼagya Dawid enti, merenyɛ saa ɛberɛ a wote ase. Mɛgye ahemman no afiri wo babarima nsam.
13 Only all the kingdom not I will tear away a tribe one I will give to son your for [the] sake of David servant my and for [the] sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen.
Ɛno mpo, mɛma wadi abusuakuo baako so, ɛsiane me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid ne kuropɔn Yerusalem a mayi asi hɔ no enti.”
14 And he raised up Yahweh an adversary to Solomon Hadad the Edomite [was] one of [the] offspring the king he in Edom.
Na Awurade pagyaa Edomni Hadad a na ɔfiri Edom adehyebusua mu, sɛ ɔnyɛ ɔtamfoɔ ntia Salomo.
15 And it was when was David Edom when went up Joab [the] commander of the army to bury the [ones] slain and he struck down every male in Edom.
Mfeɛ bi a atwam no, Dawid ne Yoab a na ɔyɛ nʼakodɔm sahene no kɔɔ Edom kɔsiee Israelfoɔ bi a wɔtotɔɔ akono no. Ɛberɛ a wɔwɔ hɔ no, anka Israel akodɔm no reyɛ akunkum mmarima a wɔwɔ Edom nyinaa.
16 For six months he remained there Joab and all Israel until he had cut off every male in Edom.
Yoab ne akodɔm no tenaa hɔ abosome nsia kunkumm wɔn.
17 And he fled Hadad he and people Edomite some of [the] servants of father his with him to go Egypt and Hadad [was] a youth young.
Nanso, Hadad ne nʼagya adehyeɛ ntuanofoɔ no mu kakra dwaneeɛ. (Saa ɛberɛ no na Hadad yɛ abɔfra ketewa bi.)
18 And they arose from Midian and they went Paran and they took men with them from Paran and they went Egypt to Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and he gave to him a house and food he assigned to him and land he gave to him.
Wɔdwane firii Midian kɔɔ Paran. Paran hɔ na ebinom kɔkaa wɔn ho. Afei, wɔkɔɔ Misraim, Farao nkyɛn, na ɔmaa wɔn baabi a wɔbɛtena, aduane ne asase.
19 And he found Hadad favor in [the] eyes of Pharaoh exceedingly and he gave to him a wife [the] sister of own wife his [the] sister of Tahpenes the queen.
Farao pɛɛ Hadad asɛm yie, na ɔmaa no ɔyere a na ɔyɛ ɔhemmaa Tapanhes nuabaa.
20 And she bore to him [the] sister of Tahpenes Genubath son his and she weaned him Tahpenes in [the] midst of [the] household of Pharaoh and he was Genubath [the] house of Pharaoh in among [the] sons of Pharaoh.
Ɔne no woo ɔbabarima a wɔtoo no edin Genubat, na wɔtetee no fraa Farao mmammarima mu wɔ Farao ahemfie.
21 And Hadad he heard in Egypt that he had lain down David with ancestors his and that he had died Joab [the] commander of the army and he said Hadad to Pharaoh let go me so I may go to own land my.
Ɛberɛ a Hadad tee wɔ Misraim sɛ Dawid ne ne sahene Yoab awuwu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Farao sɛ, “Ma mensane nkɔ mʼankasa me ɔman mu.”
22 And he said to him Pharaoh that what? [are] you lacking with me and here you [are] seeking to go to own land your and he said - In-deed really you will let go me.
Farao bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn? Ɛdeɛn na ɛho hia wo wɔ ha? Ɛdeɛn ho na yɛadi wo hwammɔ a enti wopɛ sɛ wokɔ wo kurom?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Biribiara nkɔɔ bɔne, nanso kɔ ara na mepɛ sɛ mekɔ efie.”
23 And he raised up God to him an adversary Rezon [the] son of Eliada who he had fled from with Hadadezer [the] king of Zobah master his.
Onyankopɔn pagyaa Eliada babarima Reson nso ma ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔtamfoɔ tiaa Salomo. Reson dwane firii ne wura ɔhene Hadadeser a ɔfiri Soba nkyɛn
24 And he gathered with him men and he was [the] leader of a marauding band when killed David them and they went Damascus and they dwelt in it and they reigned in Damascus.
bɛyɛɛ adɔnyɛfoɔ panin. Dawid dii Hadadeser so nkonim no, Reson ne ne mmarima dwane kɔɔ Damasko, kɔdii ɔhene wɔ hɔ.
25 And he was an adversary of Israel all [the] days of Solomon and harm which Hadad and he loathed Israel and he reigned over Aram.
Reson bɛyɛɛ Israel ɔtamfoɔ kɛseɛ wɔ Salomo ahennie nkaeɛ no nyinaa mu; na ɔyɛɛ ɔteeteefoɔ sɛdeɛ Hadad yɛeɛ no. Reson kɔɔ so tanee Israel dendeenden, na ɔtoaa so dii ɔhene wɔ Aram.
26 And Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat an Ephrathite from Zeredah and [the] name of mother his [was] Zeruah a woman a widow a servant of Solomon and he raised a hand on the king.
Otuatefoɔ panin foforɔ bi nso ne Nebat babarima Yeroboam. Na ɔyɛ Salomo ankasa mpanimfoɔ no mu baako. Na ɔfiri kuro Sereda a ɛwɔ Efraim mu. Na wɔfrɛ ne maame Senua a ɔyɛ okunafoɔ.
27 And this [is] the reason why he raised a hand on the king Solomon he built the Millo he closed up [the] breach of [the] city of David father his.
Nʼatuateɛ no asekyerɛ nie: Na Salomo rekyekyere Milo, na ɔgu so resiesie nʼagya Dawid kuro no afasuo no,
28 And the man Jeroboam [was] a mighty [man] of strength and he saw Solomon the young man that [was] doing work he and he appointed him to all [the] forced labor of [the] house of Joseph.
na Yeroboam yɛ nsiyɛfoɔ. Salomo hunuu no sɛ ɔyɛ ɔdeyɛfoɔ no, ɔde no tuaa adwumayɛfoɔ a wɔfiri Efraim ne Manase mmusuakuo mu no ano.
29 And it was at the time that and Jeroboam he had gone out from Jerusalem and he found him Ahijah Shilonite the prophet on the way and he [was] covering himself with a cloak new and [the] two of them to alone them [were] in the open country.
Ɛda bi a Yeroboam refiri Yerusalem no, ɔhyiaa odiyifoɔ Ahiya, Siloni, wɔ ɛkwan so a ɔhyɛ atadeɛ foforɔ. Na wɔn baanu nko na wɔwɔ wiram hɔ.
30 And he seized Ahijah the cloak new which [was] on him and he tore it two [plus] ten pieces.
Ɛhɔ na Ahiya worɔɔ nʼatadeɛ foforɔ a na ɛhyɛ no no, tetee mu asinasini dumienu.
31 And he said to Jeroboam take for yourself ten pieces for thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to tear the kingdom from [the] hand of Solomon and I will give to you ten the tribes.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ Yeroboam sɛ, “Fa asinasini yi mu edu, na sei na Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, reka: ‘Merebɛgye ahemman no afiri Salomo nsam, na mede mmusuakuo no mu edu bɛma wo.
32 And the tribe one it will belong to him for [the] sake of - servant my David and for [the] sake of Jerusalem the city which I have chosen it from all [the] tribes of Israel.
Na ɛsiane me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid ne Yerusalem a mayi afiri Israel mmusuakuo no nyinaa mu no enti, mɛgya no abusua baako.
33 Because - that they have forsaken me and they have bowed down to Astarte [the] god of [the] Sidonians to Chemosh [the] god of Moab and to Milcom [the] god of [the] people of Ammon and not they have walked in ways my by doing the right in view my and statutes my and judgments my like David father his.
Ɛfiri sɛ, Salomo agya me hɔ, akɔsom Astoret a ɔyɛ Sidonfoɔ nyamebaa ne Kemos a ɔyɛ Moabfoɔ nyame ne Amonfoɔ nyame Molek. Wamfa mʼakwan so anyɛ deɛ ɛsɔ mʼani. Wanni me mmara ne mʼahyɛdeɛ so te sɛ nʼagya Dawid.
34 And not I will take all the kingdom from hand his for - ruler I will make him all [the] days of life his for [the] sake of David servant my whom I chose him who he observed commandments my and statutes my.
“‘Nanso, merennye ahemman no nyinaa mfiri Salomo nsam saa ɛberɛ yi. Esiane me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid, deɛ meyii no no, na ɔtiee mʼahyɛdeɛ, dii me mmara so no enti, mɛma Salomo adi adeɛ mfeɛ a aka no wɔ ne nkwa mu.
35 And I will take the kingship from [the] hand of son his and I will give it to you [the] ten the tribes.
Na mɛgye ahemman no afiri ne babarima nsam, na mede mmusuakuo no mu edu ama wo.
36 And to son his I will give a tribe one so as to belong a lamp to David servant my all the days - before me in Jerusalem the city which I have chosen for myself to put name my there.
Ne babarima bɛnya abusuakuo baako, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid asefoɔ bɛkɔ so adi ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem, kuro a mayi sɛ me din nna so no.
37 And you I will take and you will reign over all that it will desire self your and you will be king over Israel.
Na mede wo bɛsi Israel ahennwa no so, na wobɛdi adeɛ no sɛdeɛ wʼankasa wʼakoma pɛ.
38 And it will be if you will listen to all that I will command you and you will walk in ways my and you will do the right in view my by observing statutes my and commandments my just as he did David servant my and I will be with you and I will build for you a house enduring just as I built for David and I will give to you Israel.
Sɛ wotie asɛm a meka kyerɛ wo, na wonante mʼakwan mu, na woyɛ deɛ medwene sɛ ɛyɛ, na wotie me mmara, di mʼahyɛdeɛ so, sɛdeɛ me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid yɛeɛ no a, ɛnneɛ, daa mɛka wo ho. Mɛtim wo fie adedie ase, sɛdeɛ meyɛ maa Dawid no, na mede Israel bɛma wo.
39 So I may afflicted [the] offspring of David on account of this nevertheless not all the days.
Nanso, ɛsiane Salomo bɔne a wayɛ enti, mɛtwe Dawid asefoɔ aso, nanso ɛrenyɛ afebɔɔ.’”
40 And he sought Solomon to put to death Jeroboam and he arose Jeroboam and he fled Egypt to Shishak [the] king of Egypt and he was in Egypt until [the] death of Solomon.
Salomo pɛɛ sɛ ɔkum Yeroboam, nanso ɔdwane kɔɔ Misraim, Misraimhene Sisak nkyɛn, kɔsii sɛ Salomo wuiɛ.
41 And [the] rest of [the] matters of Solomon and all that he did and wisdom his ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of Solomon.
Na Salomo ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ, deɛ ɔyɛeɛ ne ne nyansa no deɛ, wɔatwerɛ wɔ Salomo Ho Nsɛm Nwoma no mu.
42 And the days which he reigned Solomon in Jerusalem over all Israel [were] forty year[s].
Salomo dii ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem ne Israel nyinaa so mfirinhyia aduanan.
43 And he lay down Solomon with ancestors his and he was buried in [the] city of David father his and he became king Rehoboam son his in place of him.
Ɛberɛ a Salomo wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ nʼagya Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Rehoboam na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene foforɔ.
