< 1 Kings 11 >
1 Now King Solomon loved many foreign women including the daughter of Pharaoh—women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites.
Komatu Mfumu Solomoni anakonda akazi ambiri achilendo ndipo kuwonjezera pa mwana wamkazi wa Farao, analinso ndi akazi a mitundu iyi: Amowabu, Aamoni, Aedomu, Asidoni, ndi Ahiti.
2 They were from the nations about which Yahweh said to the people of Israel, “You will not go among them to marry, neither will they come among you, for they will certainly turn your heart to their gods.” In spite of this command, Solomon was affectionate toward these women in love.
Akazi amenewa anali ochokera ku mitundu ija imene Yehova anawuza Aisraeli kuti, “Simuyenera kudzakwatirana nawo amenewa, chifukwa ndithu, amenewa adzatembenuza mitima yanu kuti mutsatire milungu yawo.” Komabe Solomoni anawakonda kwambiri akazi amenewa.
3 Solomon had seven hundred royal wives and three hundred concubines. His wives turned his heart away.
Iye anali ndi akazi 700 ochokera ku mabanja achifumu ndi azikazi 300 ndipo akaziwo anamusocheretsa.
4 For when Solomon grew old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods; his heart was not fully surrendered to Yahweh his God, as was the heart of David his father.
Solomoni atakalamba, akazi akewo anakopa mtima wake kuti atsatire milungu ina, ndipo sanatsatire Yehova Mulungu wake ndi mtima wodzipereka, monga unalili mtima wa Davide abambo ake.
5 For Solomon followed Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and he followed Molech, the disgusting idol of the Ammonites.
Pakuti iye ankapembedza Asitoreti, mulungu wamkazi wa Asidoni, ndiponso Moleki mulungu wonyansa wa Aamoni.
6 Solomon did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he did not fully follow Yahweh as David his father had done.
Kotero Solomoni anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova. Sanatsatire Yehova kwathunthu monga anachitira Davide abambo ake.
7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh, the disgusting idol of Moab, on a hill east of Jerusalem, and also for Molech, the disgusting idol of the people of Ammon.
Pa phiri la kummawa kwa Yerusalemu, anamanga malo opembedzerapo Kemosi, mulungu wonyansa wa Mowabu, ndiponso malo a Moleki, mulungu wonyansa wa Aamoni.
8 He also built high places for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods at them.
Iye anamangiranso malo oterewa akazi ake onse achilendo, amene amafukiza lubani ndi kumapereka nsembe kwa milungu yawo.
9 Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from him, the God of Israel, even though he had appeared to him twice
Choncho Yehova anakwiyira Solomoni chifukwa mtima wake unatembenuka kuchoka kwa Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli, amene anamuonekera kawiri konse.
10 and commanded him about this very thing, that he should not go after other gods. But Solomon did not obey what Yahweh commanded.
Ngakhale kuti Yehova anamuletsa Solomoni kutsatira milungu ina, iyeyo sanamvere lamulo la Yehova.
11 Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, “Because you have done this and have not kept the covenant and my statutes that I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and give it to your servant.
Pamenepo Yehova anati kwa Solomoni, “Popeza mtima wako ndi wotere ndipo sunasunge pangano langa ndi malamulo anga amene ndinakuwuza, ndithudi, Ine ndidzawugawa ufumuwu kuwuchotsa kwa iwe ndi kuwupereka kwa mmodzi mwa atumiki ako.
12 However, for David your father's sake, I will not do it in your lifetime, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son.
Koma chifukwa cha Davide abambo ako, sindidzachita zimenezi iwe uli moyo. Ndidzawugawa mʼdzanja la mwana wako.
13 Yet I will not tear away all the kingdom; I will give one tribe to your son for David my servant's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”
Komabe sindidzamulanda ufumu wonse, koma ndidzamusiyira fuko limodzi chifukwa cha mtumiki wanga Davide ndiponso chifukwa cha Yerusalemu, mzinda umene ndinawusankha.”
14 Then Yahweh raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite. He was from the royal family of Edom.
Ndipo Yehova anamuutsira Solomoni mdani, Hadadi Mwedomu, wochokera ku banja laufumu ku Edomu.
15 When David was in Edom, Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the dead, every man who had been killed in Edom.
Kale pamene Davide ankachita nkhondo ndi Aedomu, Yowabu mkulu wa ankhondo, amene anapita kukakwirira Aisraeli akufa, anakantha amuna onse ku Edomu.
16 Joab and all Israel remained there six months until he had killed every male in Edom.
Yowabu ndi Aisraeli onse anakhala kumeneko miyezi isanu ndi umodzi mpaka anawononga amuna onse a ku Edomu.
17 But Hadad was taken with other Edomites by his father's servants into Egypt, since Hadad was still a little child.
Koma Hadadi akanali mwana anathawira ku Igupto pamodzi ndi akuluakulu ena a ku Edomu amene ankatumikira abambo ake.
18 They left Midian and came to Paran, from where they took men with them to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house and land and food.
Iwo ananyamuka ku Midiya ndi kupita ku Parani. Ndipo anatenga amuna ena ku Paraniko, napita nawo ku Igupto, kwa Farao mfumu ya Igupto, amene anamupatsa nyumba, malo ndiponso chakudya.
19 Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that Pharaoh gave him a wife, his own wife's sister, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
Farao anamukomera mtima Hadadi ndipo anamupatsa mkazi amene anali mngʼono wake wa Mfumukazi Tahipenesi.
20 The sister of Tahpenes gave birth to Hadad's son. They named him Genubath. Tahpenes raised him in Pharaoh's palace. So Genubath lived in Pharaoh's palace among the children of Pharaoh.
Mngʼono wake wa Tahipenesi anabereka mwana wamwamuna ndipo anamutcha Genubati, amene analeredwa mʼnyumba yaufumu ndi Tahipenesi. Genubatiyo ankakhala limodzi ndi ana a Farao.
21 While he was in Egypt, Hadad heard that David had lain down with his ancestors and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, so I may go to my own country.”
Ali ku Iguptoko, Hadadi anamva kuti Davide ndi Yowabu anamwalira. Pamenepo Hadadi anati kwa Farao, “Loleni ndichoke kuti ndibwerere ku dziko la kwathu.”
22 Then Pharaoh said to him, “But what have you lacked with me, that you now seek to go to your own country?” Hadad answered, “Nothing. Please let me go.”
Farao anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ukusowa chiyani kuno kuti ufune kubwerera ku dziko la kwanu?” Hadadi anayankha kuti, “Palibe chimene ndikusowa, koma loleni kuti ndichoke!”
23 God also raised up another adversary to Solomon, Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from his master Hadadezer king of Zobah.
Ndipo Mulungu anawutsira Solomoni mdani wina, Rezoni mwana wa Eliada, amene anali atathawa mbuye wake, Hadadezeri mfumu ya ku Zoba.
24 Rezon gathered men to himself and became captain over a small force, when David defeated the men of Zobah. Rezon's men went to Damascus and lived there, and Rezon controlled Damascus.
Iye anasonkhanitsa anthu ndipo anali mtsogoleri wa anthu owukira pamene Davide anapha ankhondo a ku Zoba. Anthu owukirawa anapita ku Damasiko, nakakhala kumeneko ndi kuyamba kulamulira.
25 He was an enemy of Israel all the days of Solomon, along with the trouble that Hadad caused. Rezon abhorred Israel and reigned over Aram.
Rezoni anali mdani wa Israeli pa masiku onse a Solomoni, kuwonjezera pa mavuto amene ankabweretsa Hadadi. Kotero Rezoni ankalamulira ku Aramu ndipo ankadana ndi Israeli.
26 Then Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, an official of Solomon, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, also lifted up his hand against the king.
Yeroboamu, mwana wa Nebati anawukiranso mfumu. Iye anali mmodzi mwa akuluakulu a Solomoni wa fuko la Efereimu, wa ku Zeredi, ndipo amayi ake anali Zeruya, mkazi wamasiye.
27 He lifted up his hand against the king because Solomon had built up the place located at Millo and repaired the opening in the city wall of David his father.
Nkhani ya kuwukira kwa Yeroboamu inali yotere: Solomoni anamanga malo a chitetezo a Milo ndipo anakonza khoma logumuka la mzinda wa Davide, abambo ake.
28 Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor. Solomon saw that the young man was industrious, so he gave him command over all the labor of the house of Joseph.
Tsono Yeroboamu anali munthu wamphamvu kwambiri ndipo Solomoni ataona kuti mnyamatayo amadziwa kugwira ntchito bwino, anamuyika kukhala woyangʼanira anthu a ntchito onse a nyumba ya Yosefe.
29 At that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road. Now Ahijah had dressed in a new garment and the two men were alone in the field.
Tsiku lina Yeroboamu ali pa ulendo kuchokera ku Yerusalemu, anakumana ndi mneneri Ahiya pa msewu, ndipo Ahiyayo anali atavala mwinjiro watsopano. Awiriwo anali okha kuthengoko,
30 Then Ahijah grabbed hold of the new garment that was on him and tore it into twelve pieces.
ndipo Ahiya anagwira mwinjiro watsopano umene anavala ndi kuwungʼamba zidutswa 12.
31 He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces, for Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'Look, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and I will give ten tribes to you
Tsono iye anati kwa Yeroboamu, “Tenga zidutswa khumi, pakuti Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Taona, Ine ndidzachotsa ufumu mʼdzanja la Solomoni ndipo ndidzakupatsa iwe mafuko khumi.
32 (but Solomon will have one tribe, for my servant David's sake and for Jerusalem's sake—the city that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel),
Koma chifukwa cha mtumiki wanga Davide ndiponso mzinda wa Yerusalemu, umene ndinawusankha pakati pa mafuko a Israeli, iye adzakhala ndi fuko limodzi lokha.
33 because they have forsaken me and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Molech the god of the people of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do what is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my decrees, as did David his father.
Ndidzachita zimenezi chifukwa wandisiya Ine ndi kupembedza Asitoreti mulungu wamkazi wa Asidoni, Kemosi mulungu wa Amowabu ndiponso Moleki mulungu wa Aamoni, ndipo sanayende mʼnjira yanga, kapena kusunga mawu anga ndi malamulo anga monga anachitira Davide abambo ake.
34 However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon's hand. Instead, I have made him ruler all the days of his life, for David my servant's sake whom I chose, the one who kept my commandments and my statutes.
“‘Koma sindidzalanda ufumu wonse mʼdzanja la Solomoni. Ine ndamuyika kukhala wolamulira masiku onse a moyo wake chifukwa cha mtumiki wanga Davide, amene ndinamusankha ndiponso amene anamvera malamulo anga ndi mawu anga.
35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand and I will give it to you, ten tribes.
Ndidzalanda ufumu mʼdzanja la mwana wake ndipo ndidzakupatsa iwe mafuko khumi.
36 I will give one tribe to Solomon's son, so that David my servant may always have a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city in which I have chosen to put my name.
Ndidzapereka fuko limodzi kwa mwana wake ndi cholinga choti Davide mtumiki wanga adzakhale nyale nthawi zonse pamaso panga mu Yerusalemu, mzinda umene ndinawusankha kuyikamo Dzina langa.
37 I will take you, and you will rule to fulfill all that you desire, and you will be king over Israel.
Koma kunena za iwe, ndidzakutenga ndipo udzalamulira chilichonse chimene mtima wako ukukhumba; udzakhala mfumu ya Israeli.
38 If you listen to all that I command you, and if you walk in my ways and do what is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, then I will be with you and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.
Ngati udzamvera zonse zimene ndidzakulamula ndi kuyenda mʼnjira yanga ndi kuchita zabwino pamaso panga, posunga malamulo anga ndi mawu anga monga anachitira Davide mtumiki wanga, Ine ndidzakhala nawe. Ndidzakupatsa ufumu umene udzakhala wokhazikika monga ndinamupatsira Davide, ndipo Ine ndidzakupatsa Israeli.
39 I will punish the descendants of David, but not forever.'”
Ine ndidzalanga zidzukulu za Davide chifukwa cha zimenezi, koma osati kwamuyaya.’”
40 So Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam got up and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and he remained in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
Solomoni anafunitsitsa kupha Yeroboamu, koma Yeroboamu anathawira ku Igupto, kwa Sisaki mfumu ya Igupto ndipo anakhala kumeneko mpaka Solomoni atamwalira.
41 As for the other matters concerning Solomon, all that he did and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the events of Solomon?
Ntchito zina za Solomoni, zonse zomwe anachita komanso za nzeru zake, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya Solomoni?
42 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel for forty years.
Solomoni analamulira Aisraeli onse mu Yerusalemu kwa zaka makumi anayi.
43 He slept with his ancestors and he was buried in the city of David his father. Rehoboam his son became king in his place.
Ndipo anagona ndi makolo ake nayikidwa mʼmanda mu mzinda wa Davide abambo ake. Ndipo Rehobowamu mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo ake.
