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].
Solomon el lungse mutan sac puspis. Sayen acn se nutin tokosra Egypt, el oayapa payuk sin mutan Hit, ac mutan Moab, Ammon, Edom, ac Sidon.
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!”
El payuk nu selos el ne etu lah LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sin mwet Israel, ‘Kowos fah tiana apayuki nu sin mwet in mutunfacl saya, mweyen mwet ingan ac mau kifuskowosla in alu nu sin god lalos.’
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].
Solomon el tuh payuk sin mutan fisrak itfoko, ac oasr pac mutan kulansap tolfoko kial. Mutan inge elos furokolla liki LEUM GOD,
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.
ac ke pacl se el matuoh, elos kifasulla nu ke alu nu sin god saya. El tia oana David, papa tumal, su arulana inse pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD lal.
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].
Solomon el tuh alu nu sin Astarte, god mutan lun Sidon, oayapa nu sin Molech, god na srungayuk se lun mwet Ammon.
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.
El oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, ac tiana inse pwaye nu sel, in oana inse pwaye lal David, papa tumal.
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].
El musaela sie acn in alu nu sel Chemosh (god na srungayuk se lun mwet Moab), ac sie pac acn in alu nu sel Molech (god na srungayuk lun mwet Ammon), fin eol soko oan kutulap in Jerusalem.
8 He also built places where all his foreign wives could burn incense and offer sacrifices to the gods from their own countries.
El oayapa musaela nien alu puspis nu sin mutan sac nukewa kial, tuh elos in ku in akosak mwe keng ac orek kisa nu sin god lalos we.
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,
Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sel Solomon, mweyen insial tuh forla liki LEUM GOD lun Israel, su sikyang nu sel pacl luo
ac fahk nu sel ke ouiya se inge mu elan tia alu nu sin god saya. A Solomon el tia akos ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel.
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.
Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Ke sripen kom sifacna sulela tuh kom in kunausla wulela lom yuruk, ac kom tia akos ma nga sapkin nu sum, nga wuleot nu sum inge lah nga ac eisla tokosrai liki kom ac sang nu sin sie sin mwet pwapa fulat lom.
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].
Tusruktu, ke sripal David, papa tomom, nga ac tia oru ma inge in pacl lom, a ac fah sikyak in pacl lun wen nutum.
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].”
Ac nga fah tia eisla tokosrai uh nufon lukel. Nga fah srela sie sruf tuh in ma lal ke sripal David, mwet kulansap luk, ac ke sripen Jerusalem, siti se su nga sulela tuh in acn sik.”
14 Yahweh caused Hadad, from the family of the kings in the Edom people-group, to rebel against Solomon.
Ouinge LEUM GOD El purakak insial Hadad, su ma in sou in leum lun acn Edom, tuh elan tuyak lainul Solomon.
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.
Mweyen ke David el muta Edom, Joab, mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun lal, el som in pikinya mwet misa ke mweun, tuh el laesla ac uniya mukul nukewa in acn Edom.
(Joab ac mwet Israel nukewa su welul elos muta Edom ke malem onkosr, nwe ke na elos uniya nufon mukul in acn 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.
Tusruktu Hadad ac kutu sin mwet Edom su mwet kulansap lun papa tumal ah, elos kaingla nu Egypt. (Ke pacl se ingan, Hadad el srakna tulik.)
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.
Elos som liki acn Midian nu Paran, ac oasr kutu mwet welulosyang we. Na elos som nu Egypt nu yurin tokosra lun Egypt, su sang acn lal Hadad, ac sie lohm, ac kasrel ke mwe mongo.
19 The king liked Hadad. As a result he gave him the sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, to be Hadad’s wife.
Hadad el arulana ohi sin tokosra sac, pwanang tokosra el sang tamtael se wien Kasra Tahpenes, mutan kial ah, tuh in mutan kial Hadad.
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.
Mutan sac el oswela sie wen nu sel Hadad, inel pa Genubath, ac kasra el tufahlla wi tulik mukul nutin tokosra ke inkul fulat sin tokosra.
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.”
Ke Hadad el lohngak in acn Egypt lah Tokosra David ac Joab, mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun, eltal misa, na el fahk nu sin tokosra Egypt, “Nunak munas, filiyula nga in folokla nu yen sik ah.”
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].
Na tokosra el siyuk sel, “Efu? Ya oasr ma nga sufalla kac ac tia sot nu sum, pa sis kom lungse folokla nu yen sum ah?” Na Hadad el topuk nu sel tokosra, “Wangin, tuh nga siyuk kom in filiyula ngan som.” Na el folokla nu yen sel.
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].
God El oayapa oru Rezon, wen natul Eliada, elan forla lainul Solomon. Rezon el sie mwet kulansap lal Tokosra Hadadezer lun Zobah, na el kaingla lukel.
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.
Tok el ekla sifen sie un mwet pwapa sulal. (Ma inge sikyak tukun pacl se David el kutangulla Hadadezer, ac uniya mwet mweun lun acn Syria, su welul lac.) Toko, Rezon ac u se lal ah som muta Damascus, na mwet welul ingan elos akwalyalak tuh elan tokosra lun Syria.
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.
El mwet lokoalok se lun mwet Israel ke lusenna moul lal Solomon, oana Hadad ke el tuh arulana lain mwet Israel ac kwaselos ke pacl se el tuh tokosra lun acn Edom.
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.
Sie pac sin mwet ma forla lainul Tokosra Solomon pa Jeroboam, wen natul Nebat mwet Zeredah in acn Ephraim. Jeroboam el siena sin mwet pwapa fulat lal Solomon. Nina kial pa Zeruah, katinmas se.
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].
Pa inge sramsram ke alein se inge: Solomon el tuh koano layen kutulap in acn Jerusalem, ac akwoye acn musalla ke pot uh.
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.
Jeroboam el mukul fusr na fas se, ac ke Solomon el liye lah el arulana alken ke orekma, el sulella tuh elan karingin orekma nukewa lun mwet ma el kumakin nu ke orekma lal in acn lun sruf Manasseh ac Ephraim.
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,
Sie len ah ke Jeroboam el mukena fahsr liki acn Jerusalem, Ahijah, mwet palu Shiloh, el sonol inkanek ah yen mwesis likin siti uh.
30 which he took off and tore into twelve pieces.
Ahijah el sarukla nuknuk lik na oa ac sasu se el nukum, ac seseya nu ke ip singoul luo.
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].
Ac el fahk nu sel Jeroboam, “Eis singoul ip kac in ma lom, mweyen LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk nu sum mu, ‘Nga ac eisla tokosrai lukel Solomon, ac nga fah sot nu sum singoul sruf uh.
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].
Solomon el ac fah sruokyana sie sruf ke sripal David, mwet kulansap luk, ac ke sripen Jerusalem, siti se su nga sulela inmasrlon facl Israel nufon tuh in ma luk.
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.
Nga ac oru ma inge mweyen Solomon el sisyula, ac alu nu sin god inge lun mutunfacl saya: Astarte (god mutan lun acn Sidon), Chemosh (god lun acn Moab), ac Molech (god lun acn Ammon). Solomon el tia akosyu. El tia oana David, papa tumal, a el oru ma sutuu ac tia karinganang ma sap luk ac oakwuk luk.
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.
Tusruktu, nga ac fah tia eisla nufon tokosrai uh lukel Solomon, a nga fah sang tuh elan leum ke lusenna moul lal. Nga ac fah oru ouinge ke sripen mwet kulansap luk David, su nga tuh sulela ac el tuh akos ma sap luk ac oakwuk luk.
35 But I will take the [other] ten tribes of his kingdom and give them to you [to rule].
Nga ac eisla tokosrai liki wen natul Solomon, ac sot sruf singoul nu sum,
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].
tusruktu nga ac sang sie sruf uh nu sin sie wen natul Solomon, tuh sie sin fita lal David, mwet kulansap luk, fah leumi acn Jerusalem nwe tok — siti se su nga sulela tuh mwet uh in alu nu sik we.
37 I will enable you to become the king of Israel, and you will rule over all the territory that you want to.
Jeroboam, nga ac oru tuh kom fah tokosra lun Israel, ac kom ac fah leum fin acn nukewa kom lungse.
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.
Kom fin akosyu in ma nukewa, ac moul fal nu ke ma sap luk, ac akinsewowoyeyu ke kom oru ma nga sapkin, oana ke mwet kulansap luk David el oru, na nga ac fah wi kom pacl nukewa. Nga fah akwalyekomyak tuh kom in tokosra lun Israel, ac wen nutum elos fah tokosra tukum, oana nga tuh oru nu sel David.
39 Because of [Solomon’s sins], I will punish David’s descendants, but I will not continue to punish them forever.’”
Ke sripen ma koluk lal Solomon, nga fah kalyei mwet in fwil natul David, tusruktu ac fah tia nwe tok.’”
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.
Ouinge Solomon el srike in unilya Jeroboam, a Jeroboam el kaingla nu yorol Tokosra Shishak lun Egypt, ac el muta we nwe ke Solomon el misa.
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.
Ma nukewa saya ma Solomon el orala, ke orekma lal ac lalmwetmet lal, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Kacl Solomon].
42 He was the king in Jerusalem who ruled over all of Israel for 40 years.
El muta Jerusalem ac tokosra fin acn Israel nufon ke yac angngaul.
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.
El misa ac pukpuki in Siti sel David, na Rehoboam, wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
