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].
Solomoon Mootichi garuu intala Faraʼoon irratti dubartoota biyya ormaa hedduu jaallate; isaanis Moʼaabota, Amoonota, Edoomota, Siidoonotaa fi Heetota turan.
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!”
Jarri kunneen saboota Waaqayyo, “Sababii isaan dhugumaan garaa keessan gara waaqota ofii isaaniitti garagalchaniif isin fuudhaa fi heerumaan jaratti hin makaminaa” jedhee waaʼee isaanii Israaʼelootatti dubbatee turee dha. Taʼus Solomoon jaalalaan isaanitti hidhame.
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].
Innis niitota maatii moototaa keessaa dhalatan dhibba torbaa fi saajjatoowwan dhibba sadii qaba ture; niitonni isaa kunneenis karaa irraa isa balleessan.
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.
Akkuma Solomoon umuriidhaan dulloomaa deemeen niitonni garaa isaa gara waaqota biraatti garagalchan; garaan isaas akka garaan abbaa isaa Daawit ture sana guutumaan guutuutti Waaqayyo Waaqa isaatiif hin kennamne.
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].
Innis Ashtooreti waaqittii Siidoonotaatii fi Moolek waaqicha Amoonotaa jibbisiisaa sana duukaa buʼe.
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.
Solomoonis akkasiin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete; inni akka Daawit abbaan isaa hojjete sana guutumaan guutuutti Waaqayyo duukaa hin buune.
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].
Solomoonis gaara Yerusaalemiin gara baʼa biiftuu jirtu tokko irratti Kemoosh Waaqa Moʼaab jibbisiisaa fi Moolek Waaqa Amoon jibbisiisaa sanaaf iddoo sagadaa ijaare.
8 He also built places where all his foreign wives could burn incense and offer sacrifices to the gods from their own countries.
Inni akka isaan ixaana aarsanii waaqota isaaniitiif aarsaa dhiʼeessaniifis niitota isaa kanneen biyya ormaatii fuudhe hundumaaf iyyuu akkasuma godhe.
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,
Waaqayyos sababii garaan Solomoon Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel kan yeroo lama isatti mulʼate sana irraa goreef isatti aare.
Waaqni akka Solomoon waaqota biraa duukaa hin buune isa dhowwu iyyuu, Solomoon ajaja Waaqayyoo hin eegne.
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.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Solomooniin akkana jedhe; “Sababii yaadni kee akkana taʼee, atis kakuu fi seera ani siif kenne sana hin eeginiif, ani dhugumaan mootummaa sirraa baqaqsee tajaajilaa keetiif nan kenna.
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].
Taʼus ani sababii abbaa kee Daawitiif jedhee waan kana bara jireenya keetii keessa hin godhu. Harka ilma keetii keessaa mootummaa kana nan baqaqsa.
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].”
Taʼus ani mootummaa sana guutumaan guutuutti isa irraa hin baqaqsu; garuu ani sababii garbicha koo Daawitii fi sababii Yerusaalem ishee ani filadhe sanaatiif jedhee gosa tokko ilma keetiif nan kenna.”
14 Yahweh caused Hadad, from the family of the kings in the Edom people-group, to rebel against Solomon.
Waaqayyo diina tokko namicha Hadaad jedhamu kan gosa Edoom namicha sanyii moototaa tokko Solomoonitti kaase.
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.
Duraan yeroo Daawit Edoomiin wal lolaa turetti, Yooʼaab ajajaan loltootaa kan warra duʼe awwaaluu dhaqe sun namoota Edoom hunda barbadeesse.
Yooʼaabii fi Israaʼeloonni hundinuu hamma namoota Edoom keessa jiraatan hunda fixanitti jiʼa jaʼa achi turan.
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.
Hadaad garuu yeroo sana mucaa xinnaa ture; innis qondaaltota Edoom kanneen abbaa isaa tajaajilaa turan wajjin Gibxitti baqate.
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.
Isaanis Midiyaanii kaʼanii Phaaraan dhaqan. Phaaraan keessaas namoota fudhatanii gara mooticha Gibxi, gara Faraʼoon dhaqan; Faraʼoonis mana, lafa inni qubatuu fi nyaata Hadaadiif kenne.
19 The king liked Hadad. As a result he gave him the sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, to be Hadad’s wife.
Faraʼoon akka malee Hadaaditti gammadee obboleettii niitii isaa, obboleettii Tahifenees Mootittii isatti heerumsiise.
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.
Obboleettiin Tahifenees sunis ilma Geenbaat jedhamu tokko deesseef; Taahefenee mucaa sana fuutee masaraa mootummaa keessatti guddifte. Genubatis ijoollee Faraʼoon wajjin achi jiraate.
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.”
Hadaad utuu biyya Gibxi keessa jiruu akka Daawit abbootii ofii isaa wajjin boqotee fi akka Yooʼaab ajajaan loltootaa sunis duʼe ni dhagaʼe. Hadaadis Faraʼooniin, “Akka ani biyya kootti deebiʼuuf naa eeyyami” jedhe.
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].
Faraʼoon immoo, “Ati maal asii dhabdee biyya keetti deebiʼuu feeta?” jedhee isa gaafate. Hadaadis deebisee, “Homaa hin dhabne; garuu akka ani dhaqu naa eeyyami!” jedheen.
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].
Waaqni amma illee diina biraa Rezoon ilma Eliyaadaa namicha gooftaa isaa Hadaadezer mootichaa Zoobaa jalaa baqate sana Solomoonitti kaase.
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.
Innis yeroo Daawit loltoota Suubaa barbadeessetti namoota of biratti walitti qabatee hoogganaa tuuta finciltootaa taʼe; finciltoonni sunis Damaasqoo dhaqanii achi jiraatan; isas achitti mootii godhatan.
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.
Reezoon rakkina Hadaad fide sanatti dabalee bara jireenya Solomoon hunda diina Israaʼel ture. Reezoon bulchaa Sooriyaa ture; Israaʼelinis akka malee jibbaa ture.
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.
Yerobiʼaam ilmi Nebaat mootichatti fincile. Innis qondaaltota Solomoon keessaa nama tokko ture; inni nama gosa Efraataa kan Zereedaadhaa dhufe ture; haati isaa immoo niitii dhirsa hin qabne kan Zeruwaa jedhamtu turte.
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].
Sababiin inni ittiin mootichatti kaʼes kanaa dha: Solomoonis Miiloo ijaaree dallaa magaalaa abbaa isaa Daawit deebisee haaromse.
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.
Yerobiʼaam goota cimaa ture; Solomoonis akka dargaggeessi sun jabaatee hojii isaa hojjetu arginaan itti gaafatamaa hojjettoota hojii humnaa kan mana Yoosef hundaa isa godhe.
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,
Gaaf tokko utuu Yerobiʼaam Yerusaalem keessaa baʼaa jiruu Ahiiyaan raajichi Shiiloo kaabbaa haaraa uffatee isatti dhufe. Isaan lachuu kophuma isaanii ala turan;
30 which he took off and tore into twelve pieces.
Ahiiyaan kaabbaa haaraa uffate sana fuudhee iddoo kudha lamatti gargari tarsaase.
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].
Ergasiis Yerobiʼaamiin akkana jedhe; “Qooda kudhan ofii keetii fudhadhu; Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedhaatii; ‘Kunoo ani harka Solomooniitii mootummaa baqaqsee gosa kudhan siifin kenna.
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].
Garuu sababii garbicha koo Daawitii fi sababii magaalaa Yerusaalem kan ani gosa Israaʼel hunda keessaa filadhe sanaatiif inni gosa tokko ni argata.
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.
Ani sababii isaan na dhiisanii Ashtooreti waaqittii Siidoonotaa, Kemoosh waaqicha Moʼaabotaatii fi Moolek waaqicha Amoonotaa waaqeffatanii fi sababii isaan karaa koo irra hin deeminiif yookaan sababii waan fuula koo duratti qajeelaa taʼe hin hojjetiniif yookaan sababii isaan akka Daawit abbaan Solomoon hojjete sana sirnaa fi seera koo hin eeginiif waan kana hojjedhe.
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.
“‘Ani garuu mootummaa sana guutumaan guutuutti harka Solomoonii hin fuudhu; ani sababii Daawit garbicha koo kan ani filadhe, kan ajaja koo fi sirna koo eege sanaatiif jedhee Solomoonin bara jireenya isaa guutuu bulchaa godheera.
35 But I will take the [other] ten tribes of his kingdom and give them to you [to rule].
Ani harka ilma isaatii mootummaa sana fuudhee gosa kudhan siifin kenna.
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].
Ani akka garbichi koo Daawit yeroo hunda Yerusaalem magaalaa ani Maqaa koo achi kaaʼachuuf filadhe sana keessatti fuula koo duratti ibsaa qabaatuuf jedhee gosa tokko ilma isaatiif nan kenna.
37 I will enable you to become the king of Israel, and you will rule over all the territory that you want to.
Siʼi garuu ani nan fudhadha; atis waan garaan kee fedhu hunda ni bulchita; Israaʼel irratti mootii ni taata.
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.
Yoo ati akkuma garbichi koo Daawit hojjete sana, waan ani si ajaju hunda hojjettee karaa koo irra deemte, yoo ati sirnaa fi ajaja koo eeguudhaan waan fuula koo duratti qajeelaa taʼe hojjete, ani si wajjin nan taʼa. Anis mootummaa bulu kan akkan Daawitiif dhaabe sanaa siifis nan dhaaba; akkasumas Israaʼelin sitti nan kenna.
39 Because of [Solomon’s sins], I will punish David’s descendants, but I will not continue to punish them forever.’”
Ani waan kanaaf jedhee sanyii Daawit nan dhiphisa; garuu bara baraanii miti.’”
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.
Solomoonis Yerobiʼaamin ajjeesuu yaale; Yerobiʼaam garuu gara Shiishaaq mooticha Gibxitti baqatee hamma Solomoon duʼutti achuma ture.
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.
Wanni bara mootummaa Solomoon keessa hojjetaman kan biraa, wanni inni hojjetee fi ogummaan isaa hundi kitaaba seenaa Solomoon keessatti barreeffamanii jiru mitii?
42 He was the king in Jerusalem who ruled over all of Israel for 40 years.
Solomoon Yerusaalem keessatti mootii taʼee waggaa afurtama saba Israaʼel hunda ni bulche.
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.
Innis ergasii abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee magaalaa abbaa isaa, magaalaa Daawit keessatti ni awwaalame. Rehooboʼaam ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii ni taʼe.
