1 Kings 11
1 King Solomon married many foreign women. First he married the daughter of the king of Egypt. He also married women from the Heth people-group and from the Moab, Ammon, and Edom people-groups, and from Sidon [city].
Kata kamano Ruoth Solomon nohero nyi pinje mamoko mangʼeny; mane omedo bangʼ nyar Farao kaka nyi jo-Moab gi jo-Amon gi jo-Edom gi jo-Sidon kod nyi jo-Hiti.
2 He married them even though Yahweh had commanded the Israeli people, “Do not marry people from those areas, because if you do that, they will surely persuade you [IDM] to worship the gods that they worship!”
Negia e ogendini mane Jehova Nyasaye okwero jo-Israel kawacho niya, “Kik ukendru kodgi, nikech adier ginilok chunyu ma uluw nyisechegi.” Kata kamano, Solomon nomoko kuomgi gihera.
3 Solomon married 700 women who were kings’ daughters. He also had 300 wives who were his slaves/servants. And his wives caused him to turn away [from worshiping God].
Ne en-gi mon mia abiriyo monywol e ut ruodhi kod mon moketo mia adek, kendo mondego nowite.
4 By the time that Solomon became old, they had persuaded him to worship the gods from their countries. He was not completely dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God like his father [SYN] David had been.
Kaka Solomon ne medo bedo moti, monde noloko chunye moluwo nyiseche mamoko kendo chunye ne ok ochiwore chuth ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache, kaka chuny Daudi wuon-gi ne en.
5 Solomon worshiped Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon [worshiped], and he worshiped Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].
Noluwo nyasaye madhako mar jo-Sidon miluongo ni Ashtoreth kod nyasach dwanyruok mar jo-Amon miluongo ni Molek.
6 That’s how Solomon did things that Yahweh said were evil. He did not conduct his life like his father David had done; he did not conduct his life as Yahweh wanted him to.
Omiyo Solomon notimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, ne ok oluwo Jehova Nyasaye gi chunye duto kaka Daudi wuon-gi notimo.
7 On the hill to the east of Jerusalem he built a place to worship Chemosh, the disgusting god that the Moab people-group [worshiped], and a place to worship Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].
Ewi got moro yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jerusalem, Solomon nogero kama otingʼore gi malo ni nyasach dwanyruok mar Moab miluongo ni Kemosh kod nyasach dwanyruok mar jo-Amon miluongo ni Molek.
8 He also built places where all his foreign wives could burn incense and offer sacrifices to the gods from their own countries.
Notimo kamano ni monde mag pinje mamoko mane wangʼo ubani kendo ne chiwo misango ni nyisechegigo.
9 Even though Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped], had appeared to Solomon two times, and had commanded him to not worship foreign gods, Solomon refused to obey Yahweh. So Yahweh was angry with Solomon,
Jehova Nyasaye iye nowangʼ gi Solomon nikech chunye noselokore moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach Israel mane osefwenyorene nyadiriyo.
Kata obedo ni notamo Solomon e luwo nyiseche mamoko Solomon ne ok orito chik Jehova Nyasaye.
11 and said to him, “You have chosen to break the agreement that I made with you and to disobey what I commanded you. So I am surely not going to allow you to rule all of your kingdom. I am going to allow one of your officials to rule it.
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni Solomon niya, “Nikech ma en pachi kendo ok iserito singruokna gi buchena mane achiki, chutho abiro pogo lochni kendo abiro miyo achiel kuom jotichni.
12 But, because of [what I promised] your father David, I will allow you to rule all your kingdom while you are still [living]. [After you die], I will not allow your son to rule the whole kingdom [MTY].
Kata kamano, ok abi time e kindeni, nikech Daudi wuonu. To abiro poge e kinde wuodi.
13 But I will not take all the kingdom away from him. Instead, I will allow him to rule one tribe [besides the tribe of Judah], because of what I promised to David, who served me [well], and because [I want David’s descendants to rule in] Jerusalem, [where my temple is located].”
To ok anamaye pinyruoth duto, to abiro miye dhoot achiel nikech Daudi jatichna kendo nikech Jerusalem, ma aseyiero.”
14 Yahweh caused Hadad, from the family of the kings in the Edom people-group, to rebel against Solomon.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo Solomon obedo gi jasigu ma ne en Hadad ja-Edom mane owuok e dhood joka ruoth mar Edom.
15 What happened was that previously, when David’s [army] had conquered the Edom people-group, his army commander Joab had gone there to [help] bury the [Israeli soldiers] who had been killed [in the battle]. Joab and his army remained in the Edom area for six months, and during that time they killed all the males of that area.
E kinde motelo kane Daudi kedo gi Edom, Joab mane jatend lweny mane odhi mondo oyik joma otho, nonego chwo duto mantie e Edom.
Joab kod jo-Israel duto nobedo kuno kuom dweche auchiel, nyaka negitieko chwo duto Edom.
17 Hadad was a young child [at that time], and he had escaped to Egypt, along with some of his father’s servants from the Edom area.
To Hadad, mane pod rawera matin, noringo odhi Misri gi jodong Edom moko, mane osetiyo ni wuon-gi.
18 They [went to the] Midian [region], and then they went to [the desert area at] Paran. Some other men joined them there. Then they all traveled to Egypt and went to see the king of Egypt. The king gave Hadad some land and ordered his servants to give him some food regularly.
Ne giwuok Midian kendo negidhi Paran. Bangʼ kawo chwo mag Paran kodgi negidhi Misri, ir Farao ruodh Misri, mane omiyo Hadad ot gi lowo kod chiemo.
19 The king liked Hadad. As a result he gave him the sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, to be Hadad’s wife.
Farao ne mor ahinya gi Hadad, omiyo nokawo nyamin Tapenes ma en ruoth madhako kendo ma jaod Farao mondo obed chiege.
20 Later Hadad’s wife gave birth to a son named Genubath. The sister of Tahpenes (raised him/brought him up) in the palace, where he lived with the king’s sons.
Nyamin Tapenes nonywolone wuowi miluongo ni Genubath mane Tapenes opidho e dala ruoth maduongʼ. Kanyo Genubath nodak gi nyithind Farao.
21 While Hadad was in Egypt, he heard that David had died [EUP], and that Joab, the commander of David’s army, was also dead. So he said to the king of Egypt, “Please allow me to return to my own country.”
Kane ne en Misri, Hadad nowinjo ni Daudi noyweyo gi kwerene kendo ni Joab jatend jolweny bende nosetho. Eka Hadad nowachone Farao niya, “We adhi mondo adogi e pinywa.”
22 But the king said to him, “Why do you want to go back to your country? Is there something that you lack that you want me to give to you?” Hadad replied, “No, but please just allow me to go.” [So the king allowed him to leave, and he returned to his own country and became the king of Edom].
To Farao nopenje niya, “Angʼo michando kae momiyo idwaro dok e pinyu?” Hadad to nodwoke niya, “Onge, to yie iweya aweya adhi!”
23 God also caused another man named Rezon, the son of Eliada, to rebel against Solomon. Rezon had run away from his master, King Hadadezer of [the] Zobah [area north of Damascus].
Kendo Nyasaye nochako omiyo Rezon wuod Eliada mane oringo oa ir ruodhe ma Hadadezer ruoth Zoba obedo jasik Solomon.
24 Rezon then became the leader of a group of outlaws. That happened after David’s [army had defeated Hadadezer and] had [also] killed all [his soldiers]. Rezon and his men went to Damascus and started to live there, and [the people there] appointed him to be their king.
Nochoko chwo ire kendo nobedo jatend oganda kane Daudi tieko jolweny Zoba. Ogandago nodhi Damaski kuma negidakie mi giloche.
25 All during the time that Solomon was alive, while Rezon was ruling [not only Damascus but all of] Syria, he was an enemy of Israel and caused trouble for Israel like Hadad did.
E kinde ngima Solomon duto Rezon nobedo jasik Israel, komedore gi chandruok mane Hadad okelo. Kamano Rezon nobedo ruodh Aram kendo noger gi jo-Israel.
26 Another man who rebelled against [IDM] Solomon was one of his officials named Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. He was from Zeredah [town] in [the region where the tribe of] Ephraim [lives]. His mother was a widow named Zeruah.
Jeroboam wuod Nebat ma ja-Efraim moa Zereda kendo ma min mare niluongo ni Zeruya ne en dhako ma chwore otho bende nongʼanyo ni ruoth. Ne en achiel kuom jodong Solomon.
27 This is what happened. Solomon’s workers were filling in the land/ground on the east side of Jerusalem and repairing the walls [around the city].
Ma e kaka nongʼanyo ni ruoth: Solomon nosegero ohinga kendo nosedino otuchi duto mane ni e kor ohinga e dala maduongʼ Daudi wuon-gi
28 Jeroboam was a very capable young man. So, when Solomon saw that he worked very hard, he appointed him to supervise all the men who were forced to work in the areas where the tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim live.
Koro Jeroboam ne en ngʼat momi luor kendo kane Solomon oneno kaka ngʼat matin-no timo tichne maber, nokete jatend jotich duto ma od Josef.
29 One day when Jeroboam was walking alone along the road outside of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh [city] met him. Ahijah was wearing a new robe,
E kindeno Jeroboam ne dhi oko mar Jerusalem kendo Ahija janabi moa Shilo noromo kode e yo korwako law manyien: Kargi ji ariyogo ne gin kendgi oko mar dala,
30 which he took off and tore into twelve pieces.
kendo Ahija nokawo law mane orwako moyieche nyadipar gariyo.
31 He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten of these pieces for yourself, because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says to you, ‘I am going to tear the kingdom from Solomon, and I am going to enable you to become the ruler of ten of the tribes [of Israel].
Eka nowacho ni Jeroboam niya, “Kaw migepe apar obed magi nikech ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye Nyasach Israel wacho: ‘Ne adhi pogo loch Solomon kendo adhi miyi dhoudi apar.
32 Solomon’s [descendants] will still rule one tribe (OR, two tribes), because of [what I promised] David, a man who served me [very well], and because of Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen from all the cities in Israel [to be the city where my people will worship me].
To nikech Daudi jatichna kod dala mar Jerusalem maseyiero e kind dhoudi duto mag Israel, obiro bedo gi dhoot achiel.
33 I am going to do this because Solomon has rejected me and has been worshiping Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon worship, Chemosh, the god that the Moab people-group worship, and Milcom, the god that the Ammon people-group worship. He has not conducted his life as I wanted him to. He has not obeyed my statutes and laws, like his father David did.
Abiro timo gini nikech gisejwangʼa mi gilamo Ashtoreth nyasaye madhako mar jo-Sidon gi Kemosh nyasach jo-Moab kod Molek nyasach jo-Amon kendo ok gisewuotho e yorena; kata timo gima kare e nyima, kata rito buchena kod chikena kaka Daudi, wuon Solomon notimo.
34 ‘But I will not take the entire kingdom away from him. I will enable him to rule [Judah] all during the years that he is alive. I will do that because of [what I promised to do for] David, whom I chose [to be the king], and who served me [well], and who always obeyed my commandments and laws.
“‘To ok anagol loch duto e lwet Solomon, asekete jatelo ndalo duto mag ngimane nikech Daudi jatichna, mane ayiero kendo mane orito chikena kod buchena.
35 But I will take the [other] ten tribes of his kingdom and give them to you [to rule].
Abiro kawo loch e lwet wuode kendo anamiyi dhoudi apar.
36 I will allow Solomon’s son to rule one tribe, in order that descendants [MET] of David will always rule in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen to be the place where [my people worship] me [MTY].
Abiro miyo wuode dhoot achiel mondo Daudi jatichna obed gi taya e nyima ndalo duto e Jerusalem, dala maduongʼ mane ayiero mondo aketie Nyinga.
37 I will enable you to become the king of Israel, and you will rule over all the territory that you want to.
Kata kamano, nikech in, abiro kawi kendo ibiro locho kuom mago duto ma chunyi dwaro, ibiro bedo ruoth kuom Israel.
38 If you obey all that I command you to do, and conduct your life as I want you to, and if you do what I say is right by obeying my laws and commandments like David did, I will help you. I will make sure that your descendants will rule after you [die], like I [promised to] do for David.
Kitimo duto machiki kendo iwuotho e yorena mitimo gima kare e nyima kirito buchena kod chikena, kaka Daudi jatichna notimo, to abiro bedo kodi. Abiro geroni anywola mosiko kaka nagero ni Daudi kendo anamiyi Israel.
39 Because of [Solomon’s sins], I will punish David’s descendants, but I will not continue to punish them forever.’”
Abiro boyo oganda mar Daudi nikech ma, to ok nyaka chiengʼ.’”
40 Solomon [found out what Ahijah told Jeroboam], so he tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam escaped and went to Egypt. He went to Shishak, the king of Egypt, and stayed with him until after Solomon died.
Solomon notemo nego Jeroboam, to Jeroboam noringo odhi Misri ir ruoth Shishak, mobedo kuno nyaka tho Solomon.
41 [A record of] all the other things that Solomon did, and all the wise things that he [said and wrote], was written in the Book Telling what Solomon Did.
Weche moko duto mag loch Solomon kaka mago mane otimo gi rieko mane onyiso donge ondikgi e kitap timbe mag Solomon?
42 He was the king in Jerusalem who ruled over all of Israel for 40 years.
Solomon nobedo ruodh jo-Israel duto ka en Jerusalem kuom higni piero angʼwen.
43 Then Solomon died [EUP], and was buried in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. And his son Rehoboam became the king.
Eka notho moyweyo gi kwerene mi noyike e dala Daudi wuon-gi. Rehoboam wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
