Fiawo 1 11
1 Ke hã la, Fia Solomo galɔ̃ dutanyɔnu geɖewo kpe ɖe Farao ƒe vinyɔnu la ŋuti. Nyɔnuawo nye srɔ̃awo kpe ɖe Egipte fiavinyɔnu la ŋu. Srɔ̃awo dometɔ geɖewo nye Moabtɔwo, Amonitɔwo, Edomtɔwo, Sidontɔwo kple Hititɔwo.
And king Solomon was a lover of women. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. And he took strange women, as well as the daughter of Pharao, Moabitish, Ammanitish women, Syrians and Idumeans, Chettites, and Amorites;
2 Togbɔ be Yehowa de se na eƒe amewo be womegaɖe srɔ̃ tso dukɔ bubuwo me o elabena dukɔ bubu mawo ƒe nyɔnuwo akplɔ wo ade mawu bubuwo subɔsubɔ me hã la, Solomo ya ɖe wo.
of the nations concerning whom the Lord forbade the children of Israel, [saying], You shall not go in to them, and they shall not come in to you, lest they turn away your hearts after their idols: Solomon clave to these in love.
3 Srɔ̃ alafa adre kple ahiãvi alafa etɔ̃ nɔ esi. Ame siawo trɔ Fia Solomo ƒe dzi ɖa tso Yehowa ŋu,

And it came to pass in the time of the old age of Solomon, that his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as [was] the heart of David his father. And the strange women turned away his heart after their gods. Then Solomon built a high place to Chamos the idol of Moab, and to their king the idol of the children of Ammon,
5 Solomo subɔ Astarɔt, Sidontɔwo ƒe nyɔnumawu kple Milkom, Amonitɔwo ƒe ŋunyɔmawu la.
and to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians.
6 Ale Solomo wɔ nu vɔ̃ eye medze Yehowa yome abe fofoa, Fia David ene o.
And thus he acted towards all his strange wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their idols. And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he went not after the Lord, as David his father.
7 Etu nuxeƒe aɖe gɔ̃ hã ɖe Amito la dzi le balime la godo tso Yerusalem, na Kemos, Moabtɔwo ƒe ŋunyɔmawu la eye wògatu bubu na Molek, Amonitɔwo ƒe ŋunyɔmawu la hã.
8 Solomo tu nuxeƒewo na srɔ̃a dzronyɔnuwo be woado dzudzɔ eye woasa vɔwo na woƒe mawuwo le teƒe mawo.
9 Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe Solomo ŋu elabena eƒe dzi ɖe ɖa le Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu, ame si ɖe eɖokui fiae zi eve la ŋu.
And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because he turned away his heart from the Lord God of Israel, who had appeared twice to him,
10 Togbɔ be ede se na Solomo be megadze mawu bubuwo yome o hã la, Solomo mewɔ Yehowa ƒe se la dzi o.
and charged him concerning this matter, by no means to go after other gods, but to take heed to do what the Lord God commanded him; neither was his heart perfect with the Lord, according to the heart of David his father.
11 Ale Yehowa gblɔ na Solomo be, “Esi wònye esiae nye wò nɔnɔme eye mèzɔ ɖe nye nubabla kple nye se siwo mede na wò nu o ta la, maxɔ fiaɖuƒe la le asiwò kokoko eye matsɔe na tewòviwo dometɔ ɖeka.
And the Lord said to Solomon, Because it has been thus with you, and you have not kept my commandments and my ordinances which I commanded you, I will surely rend your kingdom out of your hand, and give it to your servant.
12 Ke le fofowò, Fia David ta la, nyemawɔ nu sia le wò agbenɔɣi o. Maxɔe le viwò si.
Only in your days I will not do it for David your father's sake: [but] I will take it out of the hand of your son.
13 Ke nyemaxɔ fiaɖuƒe la katã le esi o; matsɔ to ɖeka nɛ le David, nye dɔla kple Yerusalem, du si metia la ta.”
Only I will not take away the whole kingdom: I will give one tribe to your son for David my servant's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen.
14 Ale Yehowa na Hadad, Edomtɔ la de asi ŋusẽkpɔkpɔ me. Solomo de asi vɔvɔ̃ me elabena Hadad tso fiaƒome me le Edom.
And the Lord raised up an enemy to Solomon, Ader the Idumaean, and Esrom son of Eliadae who [lived] in Raama, [and] Adadezer king of Suba his master; (and men gathered to him, and he was head of the conspiracy, and he seized on Damasec, ) and they were adversaries to Israel all the days of Solomon: and Ader the Idumaean [was] of the seed royal in Idumaea.
15 Ƒe geɖewo do ŋgɔ na nyadzɔdzɔ sia, esi David kplɔ Yoab yi Edom be yewoaɖi Israelvi aɖewo, ame siwo ku le aʋa me la, Israelviwo wu ŋutsuwo katã kloe le Edomnyigba blibo la dzi.
And it happened, that while David was utterly destroying Edom, while Joab captain of the host was going to bury the dead, when they killed every male in Idumaea;
16 Nu sia wɔwɔ xɔ ɣleti ade. Mlɔeba la, wowu ŋutsuawo katã kloe le Edom negbe Hadad kple fiaŋume ʋɛ aɖewo koe susɔ.
(for Joab and all Israel abode there six months in Idumaea, until he utterly destroyed every male in Idumaea; )
17 Hadad nye ɖevi sue aɖe ɣe ma ɣi. Fiaŋumewo kple Hadad si to Midian, yi Paran, afi si Edomtɔwo va kpe wo le eye woyi Egipte.
that Ader ran away, he and all the Idumaeans of the servants of his father with him; and they went into Egypt; and Ader [was then] a little child.
18 Fia Farao na dzeƒe kple nuɖuɖu wo.
And there rise up men out of the city of Madiam, and they come to Pharan, and take men with them, and come to Pharao king of Egypt: and Ader went in to Pharao, and he gave him a house, and appointed him provision.
19 Hadad va zu Fia Farao xɔlɔ̃ vevitɔwo dometɔ ɖeka. Farao tsɔ Fianyɔnu Tapenes nɔvinyɔnu nɛ wòɖe.
And Ader found great favour in the sight of Pharao, and he gave him his wife's sister in marriage, the elder sister of Thekemina.
20 Srɔ̃a dzi ŋutsuvi Gebubat nɛ eye wonyi Gebubat le Fia Farao ƒe fiasã me le fia la ŋutɔ ƒe viŋutsuwo dome.
And the sister of Thekemina bore to him, [even] to Ader, Ganebath her son; and Thekemina brought him up in the midst of the sons of Pharao, and Ganebath was in the midst of the sons of Pharao.
21 Esi Hadad se le Egipte be David kple Yoab siaa ku la, ebia mɔ Fia Farao be yeagbugbɔ ayi Edom.
And Ader heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead; and Ader said to Pharao, Let me go, and I will return to my country.
22 Fia Farao biae be, “Nu ka ta? Nu kae hiã wò le afi sia? Ɖe míegbe nane si nèkpɔ mɔ na la wɔwɔ na wòa?” Hadad ɖo eŋu be, “Èkpɔ dzinye nyuie ŋutɔ gake hã la, medi be magbugbɔ yi mía de.”
And Pharao said to Ader, What lack you with me? that behold! you seek to depart to your country? and Ader said to him, By all means let me go.
23 Solomo ƒe futɔ bubu si Mawu na wòkpɔ ŋusẽe nye Eliada ƒe vi Rezɔn, Zoba fia Hadadezer ŋume ɖeka si dzo le fia la gbɔ kple anyigba la dzi.
So Ader returned to his country; this [is] the mischief which Ader did, and he was a bitter enemy of Israel, and he reigned in the land of Edom.
24 Esi Fia David gbã Zoba dua la, Rezɔn si kple ame aɖewo yi Damasko, ame siawo va zu adzoha aɖe eye Rezɔn nye woƒe kplɔla. Emegbe la, Rezɔn va zu fia le Damasko.
25 Rezon kple Hadad nye Israel ƒe futɔ le Solomo ƒe agbenɔɣi. Ale Rezon ɖu fia le Aram eye wòlé fu Israel kaɖikaɖi.
26 Aglãdzelawo ƒe kplɔla ɖeka hãe nye Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi, ame si tso Zereda du la me le Efraimnyigba dzi. Dadaa nye ahosi aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Zerua.
And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the Ephrathite of Sarira, the son of a widow, [was] servant of Solomon.
27 Ale si wòtso ɖe Fia Solomo ŋue nye esi: Solomo tu Milo mɔ eye wònɔ fofoa, David ƒe du la ƒe gliwo dzram ɖo.
And this [was] the occasion of his lifting up [his] hands against king Solomon: now king Solomon built the citadel, he completed the fortification of the city of David his father.
28 Ke Yeroboam nye ame nuteƒewɔla aɖe eye esi Solomo kpɔ ale si wòwɔa eƒe dɔ nyuie la, etsɔe ɖo Yosef ƒe aƒe blibo la ƒe dɔlawo nu.
And the man Jeroboam was very strong; and Solomon saw the young man that he was active, and he set him over the levies of the house of Joseph.
29 Gbe ɖeka esi Yeroboam nɔ dzodzom le Yerusalem la, Nyagblɔɖila Ahiya tso Silo do goe. Ahiya do awu ʋlaya yeye aɖe na gbe ma gbe ƒe wɔnawo. Ahiya do go Yeroboam eye wòɖee ɖe aga be yeaƒo nu kplii. Esi wo ame eve la nɔ gbedzi la,
And it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went forth from Jerusalem, and Achia the Selonite the prophet found him in the way, and caused him to turn aside out of the way: and Achia was clad with a new garment, and they two [were] alone in the field.
30 Ahiya dze eƒe awu ʋlaya yeye la ɖe akpa wuieve me.
And Achia laid hold of his new garment that was upon him, and tore it [into] twelve pieces:
31 Egblɔ na Yeroboam be, “Xɔ awu dzedze ewo siawo elabena, Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ be, ‘Madze fiaɖuƒe la me le Solomo si eye matsɔ toawo dometɔ ewo na wò!
and he said to Jeroboam, Take to yourself ten pieces, for thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give you ten tribes.
32 Ke magble Yuda kple Benyamin ɖi nɛ le nye dɔla, David kple Yerusalem, si nye du si metia le Israel duwo katã dome la ta
Yet he shall have two tribes, for my servant David's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.
33 elabena Solomo gbe nu le gbɔnye eye wòsubɔ Astarɔt, Sidontɔwo ƒe nyɔnumawu kple Kemos, Moabtɔwo ƒe mawu kple Milkom, Amonitɔwo ƒe mawu. Mezɔ le nye mɔ dzi o, eye mewɔ nu si nyo le nye ŋkume o. Gawu la, mewɔ nye sewo kple ɖoɖowo dzi abe fofoa, David ene o.
Because he forsook me, and sacrificed to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos, and to the idols of Moab, and to their king the abomination of the children of Ammon, and he walked not in my ways, to do that which was right before me, as David his father [did].
34 “‘Nyemaxɔ fiaɖuƒe la le esi fifia o, ke le nye dɔla, David ame si metia, ame si wɔ nye seawo dzi ta la, mana Solomo naɖu fia le eƒe agbemeŋkeke mamlɛawo me.
Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, (for I will certainly resist him all the days of his life, ) for David my servant's sake, whom I have chosen.
35 Ke maxɔ fiaɖuƒe la le via si eye matsɔ toawo dometɔ ewo na wò.
But I will take the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and give you ten tribes.
36 Solomo ƒe vi axɔ eve mamlɛawo ale be, David ƒe dzidzimeviwo ayi fiaɖuɖu dzi le Yerusalem, du si metia be wòanye teƒe si ŋu nye ŋkɔ anɔ la ta.
But to his son I will give the two [remaining] tribes, that my servant David may have an establishment continually before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.
37 Matsɔ wò aɖo Israel ƒe fiazikpui dzi eye mana nàkpɔ ŋusẽ blibo.
And I will take you, and you shall reign as your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel.
38 Ne èɖo to nya si megblɔ na wò, ne èzɔ le nye mɔ dzi, ne èwɔ nye seawo dzi abe David ene la, ekema mayra wò eye wò dzidzimeviwo aɖu Israel dzi tegbetegbe. Medo ŋugbe sia ke na David kpɔ.
And it shall come to pass, if you will keep all the commandments that I shall give you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right before me, to keep my ordinances and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built to David.
39 Ke le Solomo ƒe nu vɔ̃ ta la, mahe to na David ƒe dzidzimeviwo, ke menye tegbetegbe o.’”
40 Solomo di be yeawu Yeroboam, ke Yeroboam si yi Fia Sisak gbɔ le Egipte eye wònɔ afi ma va se ɖe esime Fia Solomo ku.
And Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose and fled into Egypt, to Susakim king of Egypt, and he was in Egypt until Solomon died.
41 Woŋlɔ nu bubu siwo Fia Solomo wɔ la ɖe Agbalẽ si woyɔna be, Solomo ƒe Wɔnawo ƒe Agbalẽ la me.
And the rest of the history of Solomon, and all that he did, and all his wisdom, behold are not these things written in the book of the life of Solomon?
42 Ale Fia Solomo ɖu fia le Yerusalem ɖe Israel dukɔ blibo la dzi ƒe blaene.
And the days [during] which Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [were] forty years.
43 Esi wòku la, woɖii ɖe fofoa, David ƒe du la me eye via Rehoboam ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And Solomon slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father, and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
