1 Wa 11

1 Salomon te renmen ak anpil fanm ki moun lòt nasyon. San konte pitit fi wa peyi Lejip la, li te gen fanm ki soti nan peyi Moab, nan peyi Amon, nan peyi Edon, nan peyi Sidon ak nan peyi Et.

But king Solomon loved many foreign women, besides the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, Hittites;

2 Li te marye ak anpil fanm ki soti nan lòt nasyon, atout Seyè a te bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo lòd pou yo pa janm marye ak moun sa yo, pou yo pa janm kite yo mele ak yo, paske moun sa yo va pran tèt yo pou fè yo sèvi bondye pa yo. Men, Salomon te sitèlman renmen yo, li marye ak yo.

of the nations of which Jehovah had said to the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in to you; they would certainly turn away your heart after their gods: to these Solomon was attached in love.

3 Salomon te marye ak sètsan (700) madanm ki soti nan fanmi gwo chèf, lèfini li te gen twasan (300) fanm kay. Medam sa yo fè l' vire do bay Bondye.

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.

4 Lè Salomon konmanse granmoun, medam yo pran tèt li, yo fè l' al sèvi lòt bondye. Li pa sèvi Seyè a, Bondye li a, ak tout kè li ankò, jan David, papa l', te fè l' la.

And it came to pass when Solomon was old, [that] his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father.

5 Li pran sèvi Astate, bondye peyi Sidon an, ak Milkòm, vye zidòl degoutan peyi Amon an.

And Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

6 Salomon tanmen fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a. Li pa sèvi l' ak tout kè li jan David, papa l', te fè a.

And Solomon did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed not fully Jehovah, as David his father.

7 Sou mòn ki sou bò solèy leve lavil Jerizalèm lan, li bati de tanp, yonn kote yo fè sèvis pou Kemòch, vye zidòl degoutan peyi Moab la, ak yonn kote yo fè sèvis pou Molòk, vye zidòl degoutan peyi Amon an.

Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, on the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.

8 Se konsa li bati lòt tanp kote pou medam lòt nasyon li te marye yo al boule lansan ak ofri bèt pou touye pou bondye pa yo.

And so he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

9 Seyè a move sou Salomon paske Salomon te vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Atout Seyè a te parèt de fwa devan Salomon,

And Jehovah was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Jehovah the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

10 atout li te ba li lòd pou li pa sèvi bondye lòt nasyon yo, Salomon pa t' koute Seyè a, li pa swiv lòd li yo.

and had commanded him concerning this thing, not to go after other gods; but he kept not what Jehovah had commanded.

11 Seyè a di Salomon konsa: -Gade sa ou fè! Ou pa respekte kontra mwen te pase avè ou la, ou pa fè sa m' te ba ou lòd fè. M'ap wete baton kòmandman an nan men ou, m'ap mete yonn nan chèf ou yo nan plas ou.

And Jehovah said to Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done by thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes which I commanded thee, I will certainly rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant:

12 Men, poutèt David, papa ou, mwen p'ap fè sa nan vivan ou. Se nan men pitit gason ou lan m'ap wete gouvènman an.

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

13 Men, mwen p'ap wete tout peyi a nèt anba lòd li. Poutèt David, sèvitè m' lan, poutèt lavil Jerizalèm mwen chwazi pou rele m' pa m' lan, m'ap kite yon branch fanmi pou li.

only, I will not rend away all the kingdom: I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

14 Se konsa, Seyè a fè Adad, yon moun nan fanmi wa Edon an, leve dèyè Salomon.

And Jehovah stirred up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the king's seed in Edom.

15 Men istwa Adad: Lontan sa, nan tan David t'ap fè lagè ak peyi Edon, Joab, kòmandan lame li a, te moute nan peyi Edon al antere kadav sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo ki te mouri nan lagè a. Lèfini, yo touye dènye gason ki te nan peyi a.

Now it came to pass when David was in Edom, when Joab the captain of the host had gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom

16 Joab rete sis mwa nan peyi a ansanm ak tout lame a jouk yo fin touye dènye gason ladan l'.

(for Joab abode there six months with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom),

17 Lè sa a, Adad te timoun. Li te rive chape kò l' ansanm ak kèk lòt moun peyi Edon ki t'ap travay kay papa l'. Y' ale nan peyi Lejip.

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 Yo kite lavil Madyan, yo pase lavil Paran. Antan yo la, yo pran kèk gason avèk yo, yo desann peyi Lejip bò kote wa peyi a. Farawon an ba li yon kay pou l' rete ak yon pòsyon tè pou l' travay. Lèfini li ba li manje.

And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran, and 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 victuals, and gave him land.

19 Adad sitèlman vin bon zanmi farawon an, farawon an pran bèlsè li, sè larenn Takpènès, li bay Adad li pou madanm.

And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, and he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

20 Madan Adad fè yon pitit gason yo te rele Genoubat. Larenn Takpenès fè elve Genoubat nan palè a kote li grandi ansanm ak tout pitit wa yo.

And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son; and Tahpenes brought him up in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household, among the sons of Pharaoh.

21 Lè nouvèl lanmò David ak lanmò Joab rive nan peyi Lejip, tonbe nan zòrèy Adad, Adad di farawon an konsa: -Kite m' tounen nan peyi m'.

And Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead; and Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.

22 Farawon an mande l': -Poukisa? Eske ou janm manke anyen isit lakay mwen kifè ou vle tounen lakay ou? Adad reponn li: -Mwen gen tou sa m' bezwen. Men se pou ou kite m' ale. Se konsa Adad tounen nan peyi l'.

And Pharaoh said to him, What then dost thou lack with me, that behold, thou desirest to go to thine own country? And he said, Nothing; but in any case let me depart.

23 Bondye fè yon lòt moun leve dèyè Salomon ankò. Se te Rezon, pitit gason Elyada, ki te kouri kite lakay mèt li, Adadezè, wa peyi Soba a.

God stirred him up yet an adversary, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord.

24 Rezon sanble yon bann gason avè l'. Se konsa li vin chèf yon bann bandi. Lè sa a, David te bat Adadezè, li touye tout moun peyi Siri ki t'ap mache avèk Adadezè. Se konsa Rezon desann lavil Damas. Li vin chèf lavil Damas.

And he collected men to him, and became captain of a band, when David slew them [of Zobah]; and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and reigned in Damascus.

25 Pandan tout rèy wa Salomon, Rezon pa t' vle wè pèp Izrayèl la. Mete sou mechanste Adad t'ap fè pèp Izrayèl la, Rezon pa t' vle wè pèp Izrayèl la menm. Rezon te vin wa nan peyi Siri.

And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad [did]; and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

26 Yon lòt moun ki te bay Salomon do ankò, se te Jewoboram, yonn nan moun ki t'ap sèvi avèk Salomon yo. Jewoboram te pitit Nebat, yon nonm lavil Zereda nan peyi Efrayim. Manman l' te yon vèv yo te rele Sewa.

And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zeredah, Solomon's servant (whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman), even he lifted up his hand against the king.

27 Men rezon ki te pote Jewoboram bay Salomon do. Salomon t'ap fè yo ranbleye teras ki bay sou solèy leve lavil Jerizalèm lan. Li t'ap fè repare miray Lavil David, papa l'.

And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon was building Millo, and closing the breach of the city of David his father;

28 Jewoboram te yon vanyan gason, lèfini li te konn sa li vle. Lè Salomon wè jan jenn gason an te travay rèd, li mete l' reskonsab travay kòve nan pòsyon tè ki pou fanmi pitit Jozèf yo.

and the man Jeroboam was strong and valiant; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.

29 Yon jou, Jewoboram te fèk kite lavil Jerizalèm, li kontre sou wout li ak Akija, pwofèt lavil Silo a. Akija te gen yon rad tou nèf sou li. De mesye yo te pou kont yo sou wout la nan mitan jaden yo.

And it came to pass at that time that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field.

30 Akija wete rad nèf ki te sou li a, li chire l' fè douz moso.

Then Ahijah seized the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces;

31 Lèfini, li di Jewoboam: -Pran dis moso pou ou, paske Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, voye di ou: Mwen pral wete kòmandman peyi a nan men Salomon, m'ap ba ou dis branch fanmi pou ou.

and said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces; for thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee;

32 Salomon pral rete ak yon sèl branch fanmi. M'ap fè sa pou li poutèt David, sèvitè m' lan, poutèt lavil Jerizalèm mwen te chwazi nan tout peyi Izrayèl pou rele m' pa m' lan.

but one tribe shall he have 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 Salomon vire do ban mwen, l' al adore bondye lòt nasyon, tankou Astate, zidòl fanm moun peyi Sidon yo, Kemòch, bondye moun Moab yo, ak Milkòm, bondye moun Amon yo. Salomon pa fè sa ki byen devan je mwen, li pa mache dwat, li pa swiv lòd ak kòmandman mwen yo tankou David, papa l', te fè l' la.

because they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my sight, and my statutes and mine ordinances, as David his father.

34 Men, mwen pa t' wete gouvènman tout peyi a nan men l'. M'ap kite l' gouvènen konsa jouk li mouri. M'ap fè sa pou li poutèt David, sèvitè m' lan, yon nonm mwen te chwazi, yon nonm ki te mache sou lòd ak kòmandman mwen yo.

But I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand; for 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;

35 Men, m'ap wete gouvènman tout peyi a nan men pitit gason l' lan. M'ap ba ou dis branch fanmi pou gouvènen.

but I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, — the ten tribes.

36 M'ap kite yon sèl branch fanmi pou pitit li a. Konsa, David, sèvitè m' lan, va toujou gen yon moun nan ras li ap gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm, lavil mwen te chwazi pou m' rete a.

And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen for myself to put my name there.

37 Ou menm, mwen pran ou, m'ap mete ou wa sou tout peyi Izrayèl la. Konsa, w'a chèf sou tout peyi ou vle a.

And I will take thee, that thou mayest reign over all that thy soul desireth, and thou shalt be king over Israel.

38 Si ou fè tou sa mwen mande ou fè, si ou mache sou lòd mwen, si ou fè sa ki dwat devan je m', si ou kenbe tout lòd ak tout kòmandman mwen yo tankou David, sèvitè m' lan, te fè l' la, m'ap toujou kanpe la avè ou. Lèfini, tankou mwen te fè sa pou David, m'ap fè ou toujou gen yon moun nan fanmi ou k'ap wa apre ou. M'ap ba ou peyi Izrayèl la pou ou.

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 my sight, in keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with thee, and build thee a lasting house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.

39 Se konsa m'ap pini moun fanmi David yo. Men, se p'ap pou tout tan.

And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.

40 Se poutèt sa Salomon te soti pou l' touye Jewoboam. Men, Jewoboram leve, li kouri ale nan peyi Lejip, bò Chichak, wa peyi a. Li rete la jouk Salomon mouri.

And Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam; and Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt; and he was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

41 Se nan liv istwa Salomon an nou jwenn tout lòt bagay Salomon te fè yo ak jan li te gen bon konprann.

And 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 Salomon te wa lavil Jerizalèm, li te gouvènen tout pèp Izrayèl la pandan karantan.

And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

43 Lè li mouri, yo antere l' nan lavil David, papa l'. Se Woboram, pitit li, ki moute nan plas li sou fotèy la.

And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
