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.
Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, besides the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
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 which the LORD said unto the children of Israel: 'Ye shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods'; Solomon did cleave unto 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 he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.
4 vevietɔ le eƒe tsitsime. Wodo ŋusẽe be wòasubɔ woƒe mawuwo le esime wòasubɔ Yehowa, eƒe Mawu le nyateƒe me kple dzi blibo abe ale si fofoa, Fia David wɔ ene la teƒe.
For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not whole with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
5 Solomo subɔ Astarɔt, Sidontɔwo ƒe nyɔnumawu kple Milkom, Amonitɔwo ƒe ŋunyɔmawu la.
For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the detestation of the Ammonites.
6 Ale Solomo wɔ nu vɔ̃ eye medze Yehowa yome abe fofoa, Fia David ene o.
And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did 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.
Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the detestation of Moab, in the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the detestation of the children of Ammon.
8 Solomo tu nuxeƒewo na srɔ̃a dzronyɔnuwo be woado dzudzɔ eye woasa vɔwo na woƒe mawuwo le teƒe mawo.
And so did he for all his foreign wives, who offered and sacrificed unto their gods.
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 his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice,
10 Togbɔ be ede se na Solomo be megadze mawu bubuwo yome o hã la, Solomo mewɔ Yehowa ƒe se la dzi o.
and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.
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.
Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon: 'Forasmuch as this hath been in thy mind, and thou hast not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.
12 Ke le fofowò, Fia David ta la, nyemawɔ nu sia le wò agbenɔɣi o. Maxɔe le viwò si.
Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake; but I will rend it out of the hand of thy 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.”
Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to thy son; for David My servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake 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 adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the king's seed in Edom.
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.
For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, and had smitten every male in Edom —
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 remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom —
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 Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child.
18 Fia Farao na dzeƒe kple nuɖuɖu wo.
And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.
19 Hadad va zu Fia Farao xɔlɔ̃ vevitɔwo dometɔ ɖeka. Farao tsɔ Fianyɔnu Tapenes nɔvinyɔnu nɛ wòɖe.
And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
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 Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's house among the sons of Pharaoh.
21 Esi Hadad se le Egipte be David kple Yoab siaa ku la, ebia mɔ Fia Farao be yeagbugbɔ ayi Edom.
And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh: 'Let me depart, that I may go to mine own 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.”
Then Pharaoh said unto him: 'But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country?' And he answered: 'Nothing; howbeit let me depart in any wise.'
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.
And God raised up another adversary unto him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.
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.
And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a troop, when David slew them of Zobah; and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.
25 Rezon kple Hadad nye Israel ƒe futɔ le Solomo ƒe agbenɔɣi. Ale Rezon ɖu fia le Aram eye wòlé fu Israel kaɖikaɖi.
And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did; and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Aram.
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 Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, he also lifted up his hand against the king.
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 cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach 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 a mighty man of valour; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he gave him charge over all the labour 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, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; now Ahijah had clad himself 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 Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and rent it in 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 thee ten pieces; for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee —
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
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 —
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 that they have forsaken Me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon; and they have not walked in My ways, to do that which is right in Mine eyes, and to keep My statutes and Mine ordinances, as did David his father.
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; but I will make him prince all the days of his life, for David My servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept My commandments and My statutes;
35 Ke maxɔ fiaɖuƒe la le via si eye matsɔ toawo dometɔ ewo na wò.
but I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even 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.
And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David My servant may have a lamp alway before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen Me to put My name there.
37 Matsɔ wò aɖo Israel ƒe fiazikpui dzi eye mana nàkpɔ ŋusẽ blibo.
And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul desireth, and shalt 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 be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in My ways, and do that which is right in Mine eyes, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as David My servant did, that I will be with thee, and will build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
39 Ke le Solomo ƒe nu vɔ̃ ta la, mahe to na David ƒe dzidzimeviwo, ke menye tegbetegbe o.’”
And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.'
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.
Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam; but Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
41 Woŋlɔ nu bubu siwo Fia Solomo wɔ la ɖe Agbalẽ si woyɔna be, Solomo ƒe Wɔnawo ƒe Agbalẽ la me.
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
42 Ale Fia Solomo ɖu fia le Yerusalem ɖe Israel dukɔ blibo la dzi ƒe blaene.
And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was 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 was buried in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
