1 Athamaki 11

1 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.

And king Solomon hath loved many strange women, and the daughter of Pharaoh, females of Moab, Ammon, Edom, Zidon, [and] of the Hittites,

2 Moimĩte ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ iria Jehova eerĩte Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Mũtikanahikanie nao, tondũ ti-itherũ nĩmakagarũra ngoro cianyu irũmĩrĩre ngai ciao.” No rĩrĩ, Solomoni agĩkĩrĩrĩria kũmeenda.

of the nations of which Jehovah said unto the sons of Israel, 'Ye do not go in to them, and they do not go in to you; surely they turn aside your heart after their gods;' to them hath Solomon cleaved for love.

3 Aarĩ na atumia magana mũgwanja kuuma nyũmba cia ũthamaki, na thuriya magana matatũ, nao atumia acio ake makĩmũhĩtithia.

And he hath women, princesses, seven hundred, and concubines three hundred; and his wives turn aside his heart.

4 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.

And it cometh to pass, at the time of the old age of Solomon, his wives have turned aside his heart after other gods, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, like the heart of David his father.

5 Akĩrũmĩrĩra Ashitorethu ngai ya nga ya andũ a Sidoni, na Moleku ngai ĩrĩa meneku ya Aamoni.

And Solomon goeth after Ashtoreth god[dess] of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites;

6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Solomoni agĩĩka ũũru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova; ndaarũmĩrĩire Jehova kũna ta ũrĩa ithe Daudi eekĩte.

and Solomon doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and hath not been fully after Jehovah, like David his father.

7 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.

Then doth Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the hill that [is] on the front of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the sons of Ammon;

8 Eekire o ũguo kũrĩ atumia arĩa angĩ ake othe a kũngĩ, arĩa maacinaga ũbumba na makarutĩra ngai ciao magongona.

and so he hath done for all his strange women, who are perfuming and sacrificing to their gods.

9 Jehova nĩarakaririo nĩ Solomoni tondũ ngoro yake nĩyahutatĩire Jehova, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ũrĩa wamuumĩrĩire maita meerĩ.

And Jehovah sheweth Himself angry with Solomon, for his heart hath turned aside from Jehovah, God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice,

10 O na gũtuĩka nĩakaanĩtie Solomoni kũrũmĩrĩra ngai ingĩ-rĩ, Solomoni ndaigana kũrũmia watho wa Jehova.

and given a charge unto him concerning this thing, not to go after other gods; and he hath not kept that which Jehovah commanded,

11 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.

and Jehovah saith to Solomon, 'Because that this hath been with thee, and thou hast not kept My covenant and My statutes that I charged upon thee, I surely rend the kingdom from thee, and have given it to thy servant.

12 No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa thoguo Daudi-rĩ, ndigwĩka ũndũ ũcio hĩndĩ ĩrĩa we ũrĩ muoyo. No nĩngaũtunya mũrũguo.

'Only, in thy days I do it not, for the sake of David thy father; out of the hand of thy son I rend it;

13 No ndikamũtunya ũthamaki wothe, no nĩngamũhe mũhĩrĩga ũmwe nĩ ũndũ wa Daudi ndungata yakwa, na nĩ ũndũ wa Jerusalemu, itũũra rĩrĩa thuurĩte.”

only all the kingdom I do not rend away; one tribe I give to thy son, for the sake of David My servant, and for the sake of Jerusalem, that I have chosen.'

14 Nake Jehova akĩarahũrĩra Solomoni thũ, nĩyo Hadadi ũrĩa Mũedomu, wa rũciaro rwa ũthamaki wa Edomu.

And Jehovah raiseth up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; of the seed of the king [is] he in Edom;

15 Mbere ĩyo rĩrĩa Daudi aarũaga na Edomu, Joabu mũnene wa ita, ũrĩa wathiĩte gũthika arĩa maakuĩte-rĩ, nĩooragire arũme othe kũu Edomu.

and it cometh to pass, in David's being with Edom, in the going up of Joab head of the host to bury the slain, that he smiteth every male in Edom —

16 Joabu na andũ a Isiraeli othe maikarire kũu mĩeri ĩtandatũ, nginya rĩrĩa maaniinire arũme othe kũu Edomu.

for six months did Joab abide there, and all Israel, till the cutting off of every male in Edom —

17 No Hadadi arĩ o kahĩĩ-rĩ, akĩũrĩra bũrũri wa Misiri marĩ hamwe na anene amwe a Edomu arĩa maatungatĩire ithe.

and Hadad fleeth, he and certain Edomites, of the servants of his father, with him, to go in to Egypt, and Hadad [is] a little youth,

18 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.

and they rise out of Midian, and come into Paran, and take men with them out of Paran, and come in to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he giveth to him a house, and bread hath commanded for him, and land hath given to him.

19 Firaũni nĩakenirio mũno nĩ Hadadi o nginya akĩmũhe mwarĩ wa nyina na Tahapenesi, mũtumia wa mũthamaki, nĩguo amũhikie atuĩke mũtumia wake.

And Hadad findeth grace in the eyes of Pharaoh exceedingly, and he giveth to him a wife, the sister of his own wife, sister of Tahpenes the mistress;

20 Mwarĩ wa nyina na Tahapenesi akĩmũciarĩra kahĩĩ geetagwo Genubathu karĩa kaarereirwo nyũmba-inĩ ya mũthamaki nĩ Tahapenesi. Genubathu agĩtũũrania na ciana cia Firaũni kuo.

and the sister of Tahpenes beareth to him Genubath his son, and Tahpenes weaneth him within the house of Pharaoh, and Genubath is in the house of Pharaoh in the midst of the sons of Pharaoh.

21 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.”

And Hadad hath heard in Egypt that David hath lain with his fathers, and that Joab head of the host is dead, and Hadad saith unto Pharaoh, 'Send me away, and I go unto my land.'

22 Firaũni akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ wagĩte gũkũ atĩ nĩguo ũcooke bũrũri wanyu?” Hadadi agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Gũtirĩ, no njĩtĩkĩria thiĩ!”

And Pharaoh saith to him, 'But, what art thou lacking with me, that lo, thou art seeking to go unto thine own land?' and he saith, 'Nay, but thou dost certainly send me away.'

23 Nake Ngai akĩarahũra thũ ĩngĩ ya gũũkĩrĩra Solomoni, nayo nĩ Rezoni mũrũ wa Eliada, ũrĩa worĩte akoima kũrĩ mũnene wake, Hadadezeri mũthamaki wa Zoba.

And God raiseth to him an adversary, Rezon son of Eliadah, who hath fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord,

24 Akĩĩyũnganĩria andũ, na agĩtuĩka mũtongoria wa gĩkundi kĩa aremi rĩrĩa Daudi aaniinire ita cia Zoba; aremi acio magĩthiĩ Dameski, magĩtũũra kuo, na makĩoya wathani.

and gathereth unto himself men, and is head of a troop in David's slaying them, and they go to Damascus, and dwell in it, and reign in Damascus;

25 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.

and he is an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, (besides the evil that Hadad [did]), and he cutteth off in Israel, and reigneth over Aram.

26 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.

And Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda — the name of whose mother [is] Zeruah, a widow woman — servant to Solomon, he also lifteth up a hand against the king;

27 Ũũ nĩguo aaremeire Mũthamaki: Solomoni nĩathondekete mbenji na agacookereria rũthingo rwa itũũra inene rĩa ithe Daudi.

and this [is] the thing [for] which he lifted up a hand against the king: Solomon built Millo — he shut up the breach of the city of David his father,

28 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.

and the man Jeroboam [is] mighty in valour, and Solomon seeth the young man that he is doing business, and appointeth him over all the burden of the house of Joseph.

29 Ihinda-inĩ rĩu, Jeroboamu oimaga Jerusalemu, nake Ahija mũnabii wa Shilo agĩcemania nake, ehumbĩte nguo njerũ. Nao eerĩ maarĩ oiki kũu gĩthaka-inĩ,

And it cometh to pass, at that time, that Jeroboam hath gone out from Jerusalem, and Ahijah the Shilonite, the prophet, findeth him in the way, and he is covering himself with a new garment; and both of them [are] by themselves in a field,

30 nake Ahija akĩoya nguo ĩyo njerũ eehumbĩte, akĩmĩtarũra icunjĩ ikũmi na igĩrĩ.

and Ahijah layeth hold on the new garment that [is] on him, and rendeth it — twelve pieces,

31 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.

and saith to Jeroboam, 'Take to thee ten pieces, for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, lo, I am rending the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and have given to thee the ten tribes,

32 No nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yakwa Daudi na itũũra inene rĩa Jerusalemu, rĩrĩa thuurĩte kuuma kũrĩ mĩhĩrĩga yothe ya Isiraeli, nĩngũmũtigĩria mũhĩrĩga ũmwe.

and the one tribe he hath for My servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have fixed on, out of all the tribes of Israel.

33 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.

'Because they have forsaken Me, and bow themselves to Ashtoreth, god[dess] of the Zidonians, to Chemosh god of Moab, and to Milcom god of the sons of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways, to do that which [is] right in Mine eyes, and My statutes and My judgments, like David his father.

34 “‘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.

'And I do not take the whole of the kingdom out of his hand, for prince I make him all days of his life, for the sake of David My servant whom I chose, who kept My commands and My statutes;

35 Nĩngeheria ũthamaki moko-inĩ ma mũriũ na ngũhe mĩhĩrĩga ikũmi.

and I have taken the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and given it to thee — the ten tribes;

36 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.

and to his son I give one tribe, for there being a lamp to David My servant all the days before Me in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen to Myself to put My name there.

37 No wee-rĩ, nĩngakuoya, na nĩũgathamaka maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa ngoro yaku ĩkeerirĩria; nĩũgatuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.

'And thee I take, and thou hast reigned over all that thy soul desireth, and thou hast been king over Israel;

38 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.

and it hath been, if thou dost hear all that I command thee, and hast walked in My ways, and done that which is right in Mine eyes, to keep My statutes and My commands, as did David My servant, that I have been with thee, and have built for thee a stedfast house, as I built for David, and have given to thee Israel,

39 Nĩnganyariira njiaro cia Daudi, no ndigacinyariira nginya tene.’”

and I humble the seed of David for this; only, not all the days.'

40 Solomoni nĩageririe kũũraga Jeroboamu, nowe Jeroboamu akĩũrĩra bũrũri wa Misiri kwa Mũthamaki Shishaka, na agĩikara kuo nginya rĩrĩa Solomoni aakuire.

And Solomon seeketh to put Jeroboam to death, and Jeroboam riseth and fleeth to Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and he is in Egypt till the death of Solomon.

41 Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Solomoni, ũrĩa wothe eekire, na ũũgĩ ũrĩa onanirie-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa ciĩko cia Solomoni?

And the rest of the matters of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written on the book of the matters of Solomon?

42 Solomoni aathamakĩire Isiraeli rĩothe arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.

And the days that Solomon hath reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [are] forty years,

43 Agĩcooka akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo itũũra inene rĩa ithe Daudi. Nake mũriũ Rehoboamu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.

and Solomon lieth with his fathers, and is buried in the city of David his father, and reign doth Rehoboam his son in his stead.
