1 Kings 11
1 Now King Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites,
Mũthamaki Solomoni nĩendire andũ-a-nja aingĩ a kũndũ kũngĩ o hamwe na mwarĩ wa Firaũni, nĩahikirie atumia a Amoabi, na a Amoni, na a Aedomu, na a Asidoni, na a Ahiti.
2 of the nations concerning which the LORD said to the children of Israel, “You shall not go amongst them, neither shall they come amongst you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.” Solomon joined to these in love.
Moimĩte ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ iria Jehova eerĩte Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Mũtikanahikanie nao, tondũ ti-itherũ nĩmakagarũra ngoro cianyu irũmĩrĩre ngai ciao.” No rĩrĩ, Solomoni agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũmeenda.
3 He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. His wives turned his heart away.
Aarĩ na atumia magana mũgwanja kuuma nyũmba cia ũthamaki, na thuriya magana matatũ, nao atumia acio ake makĩmũhĩtithia.
4 When Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father was.
O ũrĩa Solomoni aathiire agĩkũraga, noguo atumia ake maaguucagĩrĩria ngoro yake kũrũmĩrĩra ngai ingĩ, nake akĩaga kũheana ngoro yake kũna kũrĩ Jehova Ngai wake, ta ũrĩa ngoro ya ithe Daudi yatariĩ.
5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
Akĩrũmĩrĩra Ashitorethu ngai ya nga ya andũ a Sidoni, na Moleku ngai ĩrĩa meneku ya Aamoni.
6 Solomon did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and didn’t go fully after the LORD, as David his father did.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Solomoni agĩĩka ũũru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova; ndaarũmĩrĩire Jehova kũna ta ũrĩa ithe Daudi eekĩte.
7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
Solomoni nĩakĩire Kemoshu ngai ĩrĩa meneku ya Moabi, na Moleku ngai ĩrĩa meneku ya Aamoni handũ hatũũgĩru, o kũu karima-inĩ karĩa karĩ mwena wa irathĩro wa Jerusalemu.
8 So he did for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.
Eekire o ũguo kũrĩ atumia arĩa angĩ ake othe a kũngĩ, arĩa maacinaga ũbumba na makarutĩra ngai ciao magongona.
9 The LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
Jehova nĩarakaririo nĩ Solomoni tondũ ngoro yake nĩyahutatĩire Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa wamuumĩrĩire maita meerĩ.
10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he didn’t keep that which the LORD commanded.
O na gũtuĩka nĩakaanĩtie Solomoni kũrũmĩrĩra ngai ingĩ-rĩ, Solomoni ndaigana kũrũmia watho wa Jehova.
11 Therefore the LORD said to Solomon, “Because this is done by you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩĩra Solomoni atĩrĩ, “Kuona atĩ ũguo nĩguo wonete arĩ wega, na nĩũregete kũrũmĩrĩra kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa gĩa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kĩrĩa ngwathĩte-rĩ, ti-itherũ nĩngagũtunya ũthamaki ndĩũrute kũrĩ we, ndĩũnengere ũmwe wa ndungata ciaku.
12 Nevertheless, I will not do it in your days, for David your father’s sake; but I will tear it out of your son’s hand.
No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa thoguo Daudi-rĩ, ndigwĩka ũndũ ũcio hĩndĩ ĩrĩa we ũrĩ muoyo. No nĩngaũtunya mũrũguo.
13 However, I will not tear away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to your son, for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.”
No ndikamũtunya ũthamaki wothe, no nĩngamũhe mũhĩrĩga ũmwe nĩ ũndũ wa Daudi ndungata yakwa, na nĩ ũndũ wa Jerusalemu, itũũra rĩrĩa thuurĩte.”
14 The LORD raised up an adversary to Solomon: Hadad the Edomite. He was one of the king’s offspring in Edom.
Nake Jehova akĩarahũrĩra Solomoni thũ, nĩyo Hadadi ũrĩa Mũedomu, wa rũciaro rwa ũthamaki wa Edomu.
15 For when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom
Mbere ĩyo rĩrĩa Daudi aarũaga na Edomu, Joabu mũnene wa ita, ũrĩa wathiĩte gũthika arĩa maakuĩte-rĩ, nĩooragire arũme othe kũu Edomu.
16 (for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom),
Joabu na andũ a Isiraeli othe maikarire kũu mĩeri ĩtandatũ, nginya rĩrĩa maaniinire arũme othe kũu Edomu.
17 Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt, when Hadad was still a little child.
No Hadadi arĩ o kahĩĩ-rĩ, akĩũrĩra bũrũri wa Misiri marĩ hamwe na anene amwe a Edomu arĩa maatungatĩire ithe.
18 They arose out of Midian and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him food, and gave him land.
Nao makiuma Midiani magĩthiĩ Parani. Ningĩ makĩoya andũ angĩ kũu Parani, magĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri, kũrĩ Firaũni mũthamaki wa Misiri, ũrĩa waheire Hadadi nyũmba, na gĩthaka, na akĩmũhe irio.
19 Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
Firaũni nĩakenirio mũno nĩ Hadadi o nginya akĩmũhe mwarĩ wa nyina na Tahapenesi, mũtumia wa mũthamaki, nĩguo amũhikie atuĩke mũtumia wake.
20 The sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house amongst the sons of Pharaoh.
Mwarĩ wa nyina na Tahapenesi akĩmũciarĩra kahĩĩ geetagwo Genubathu karĩa kaarereirwo nyũmba-inĩ ya mũthamaki nĩ Tahapenesi. Genubathu agĩtũũrania na ciana cia Firaũni kuo.
21 When Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.”
Hadadi arĩ kũu Misiri akĩigua atĩ Daudi nĩahurũkĩte hamwe na maithe make, na atĩ Joabu mũnene wa ita o nake nĩarĩkĩtie gũkua. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Hadadi akĩĩra Firaũni atĩrĩ, “Njĩtĩkĩria thiĩ, nĩguo njooke bũrũri witũ.”
22 Then Pharaoh said to him, “But what have you lacked with me, that behold, you seek to go to your own country?” He answered, “Nothing, however only let me depart.”
Firaũni akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ wagĩte gũkũ atĩ nĩguo ũcooke bũrũri wanyu?” Hadadi agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ, no njĩtĩkĩria thiĩ!”
23 God raised up an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadadezer king of Zobah.
Nake Ngai akĩarahũra thũ ĩngĩ ya gũũkĩrĩra Solomoni, nayo nĩ Rezoni mũrũ wa Eliada, ũrĩa worĩte akoima kũrĩ mũnene wake, Hadadezeri mũthamaki wa Zoba.
24 He gathered men to himself, and became captain over a troop, when David killed them of Zobah. They went to Damascus and lived there, and reigned in Damascus.
Akĩĩyũnganĩria andũ, na agĩtuĩka mũtongoria wa gĩkundi kĩa aremi rĩrĩa Daudi aaniinire ita cia Zoba; aremi acio magĩthiĩ Dameski, magĩtũũra kuo, na makĩoya wathani.
25 He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, in addition to the mischief of Hadad. He abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
Rezoni aarĩ thũ ya Isiraeli rĩrĩa rĩothe Solomoni aatũũrire muoyo, akĩongerera thĩĩna ũrĩa warehetwo nĩ Hadadi. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Rezoni agĩathana kũu Suriata na nĩathũire Isiraeli mũno.
26 Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow, also lifted up his hand against the king.
Ningĩ Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati akĩremera mũthamaki. Aarĩ ũmwe wa anene a Solomoni, Mũefiraimu wa kuuma Zereda, na nyina eetagwo Zerua na aarĩ mũtumia wa ndigwa.
27 This was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of his father David’s city.
Ũũ nĩguo aaremeire Mũthamaki: Solomoni nĩathondekete mbenji na agacookereria rũthingo rwa itũũra inene rĩa ithe Daudi.
28 The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he put him in charge of all the labour of the house of Joseph.
Na rĩrĩ, Jeroboamu aarĩ mũndũ mũhoti, na rĩrĩa Solomoni onire mũrutĩre wake wa wĩra ũrĩa warĩ mwega, akĩmũtua mũrũgamĩrĩri wa aruti wĩra othe a nyũmba ya Jusufu.
29 At that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the way. Now Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment; and the two of them were alone in the field.
Ihinda-inĩ rĩu, Jeroboamu oimaga Jerusalemu, nake Ahija mũnabii wa Shilo agĩcemania nake, ehumbĩte nguo njerũ. Nao eerĩ maarĩ oiki kũu gĩthaka-inĩ,
30 Ahijah took the new garment that was on him, and tore it in twelve pieces.
nake Ahija akĩoya nguo ĩyo njerũ eehumbĩte, akĩmĩtarũra icunjĩ ikũmi na igĩrĩ.
31 He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces; for the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you
Hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩĩra Jeroboamu atĩrĩ, “Wĩyoere icunjĩ ikũmi, nĩgũkorwo ũũ nĩguo Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, oigĩte: ‘Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngweheria ũthamaki guoko-inĩ gwa Solomoni, na nĩngũkũhe mĩhĩrĩga ikũmi.
32 (but he shall have one tribe, for my servant David’s sake and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel),
No nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yakwa Daudi na itũũra inene rĩa Jerusalemu, rĩrĩa thuurĩte kuuma kũrĩ mĩhĩrĩga yothe ya Isiraeli, nĩngũmũtigĩria mũhĩrĩga ũmwe.
33 because they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances, as David his father did.
Ngwĩka ũguo, nĩ tondũ nĩmandiganĩirie, makainamĩrĩra Ashitorethu ngai ya nga ya Asidoni, na Kemoshu ngai ya andũ a Moabi, na Moleku ngai ya andũ a Amoni, na magatiga gũthiĩ na njĩra ciakwa, o na makarega gwĩka ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ makwa, o na matirũmagia irĩra ciakwa na mawatho ta ũrĩa Daudi ithe wa Solomoni ekaga.
34 “‘However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant’s sake whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes,
“‘No rĩrĩ, ndikweheria ũthamaki wothe guoko-inĩ gwa Solomoni; nĩndĩmũtuĩte mwathani matukũ-inĩ mothe ma muoyo wake, nĩ ũndũ wa Daudi ndungata yakwa, ũrĩa ndathuurire o we warũmirie maathani makwa na irĩra ciakwa.
35 but I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give it to you, even ten tribes.
Nĩngeheria ũthamaki moko-inĩ ma mũriũ na ngũhe mĩhĩrĩga ikũmi.
36 I will give one tribe to his son, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.
Nĩngaahe mũriũ mũhĩrĩga ũmwe, nĩgeetha ndungata yakwa Daudi ĩtũũrie tawa mbere yakwa hĩndĩ ciothe kũu Jerusalemu, itũũra rĩrĩa inene kũrĩa ndathuurire ndũũrie Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa kuo.
37 I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.
No wee-rĩ, nĩngakuoya, na nĩũgathamaka maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ngoro yaku ĩkeerirĩria; nĩũgatuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
38 It shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.
Ũngĩka ũrĩa wothe ngũgwatha, na ũthiiage na njĩra ciakwa, na wĩkage ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ makwa na ũndũ wa kũrũmia irĩra ciakwa na maathani makwa, o ta ũrĩa ndungata yakwa Daudi yekaga-rĩ, nĩndĩrĩkoragwo hamwe nawe. Nyũmba yaku nĩngamĩtua ya ũthamaki ya gũtũũra, o ta ũrĩa ndaakire nyũmba ya Daudi na nĩngakũhe Isiraeli.
39 I will afflict the offspring of David for this, but not forever.’”
Nĩnganyariira njiaro cia Daudi, no ndigacinyariira nginya tene.’”
40 Therefore Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
Solomoni nĩageririe kũũraga Jeroboamu, nowe Jeroboamu akĩũrĩra bũrũri wa Misiri kwa Mũthamaki Shishaka, na agĩikara kuo nginya rĩrĩa Solomoni aakuire.
41 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, aren’t they written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Solomoni, ũrĩa wothe eekire, na ũũgĩ ũrĩa onanirie-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa ciĩko cia Solomoni?
42 The time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
Solomoni aathamakĩire Isiraeli rĩothe arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
43 Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
Agĩcooka akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo itũũra inene rĩa ithe Daudi. Nake mũriũ Rehoboamu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
