1 Wa 11

1 Alò, Wa Salomon te renmen anpil fanm etranje ansanm avèk fi Farawon an: Moabit yo, Amonit yo, Edomit yo, Sidonyen yo ak fanm Etyen yo,

But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:

2 ki te soti nan nasyon de sila SENYÈ a te di a fis Israël yo, “Ou p ap asosye avèk yo, ni yo p ap asosye avè w; paske yo va anverite vire kè ou lwen apre dye pa yo.” Salomon te kenbe rèd a sila yo nan renmen an.

Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, All of you shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.

3 Li te gen sèt-san prensès kòm madanm, twa-san ti mennaj e madanm li yo te vire kè li lwen.

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

4 Paske lè Salomon te vin vye, madanm li yo te vire kè li lwen apre lòt dye yo. Epi kè li pa t konsakre nèt a SENYÈ a, Bondye pa li a, jan kè David, papa li te ye a.

For 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 the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.

5 Paske Salomon te kouri dèyè Astarté deyès a Sidonyen yo e apre Milcom, zidòl abominab a Amonit yo.

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

6 Salomon te fè sa ki te mal nan zye a SENYÈ a e li pa t swiv SENYÈ a nèt, jan David, papa li te fè a.

And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.

7 Epi Salomon te bati yon wo plas pou Kemosh, wa abominab a Moab la, sou mòn ki nan lès Jérusalem lan e pou Moloc, zidòl abominab a fis a Ammon yo.

Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.

8 Se konsa li te fè pou tout madanm etranje li yo. Li te brile lansan e fè sakrifis a dye pa yo.

And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

9 Alò, SENYÈ a te byen fache avèk Salomon akoz kè li te vire lwen SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ki te vin parèt a li de fwa.

And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,

10 Li te kòmande li sou bagay sa a, ke li pa ta dwe ale apre lòt dye yo, men li pa t swiv sa ke SENYÈ a te kòmande a.

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 Pou sa, SENYÈ a te di a Salomon: “Akoz ou te fè sa e ou pa t kenbe akò Mwen, avèk règleman Mwen yo, ke M te kòmande ou pou fè yo, Mwen va, anverite, chire wayòm nan soti nan men ou e Mwen va bay li a sèvitè ou.

Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely rend the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.

12 Sepandan, se pa nan jou pa w yo ke M ap fè l, pou koz David, papa ou. Men m ap chire l nan men fis ou yo.

Notwithstanding in your days I will not do it for David your father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of your son.

13 Malgre sa, mwen p ap rache tout wayòm nan, men Mwen va bay yon tribi a fis ou pou koz a sèvitè Mwen an, David e pou koz Jérusalem ke M te chwazi a.”

Nevertheless I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to your son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

14 Alò, SENYÈ a te fè leve yon lènmi a Salomon, Hadad, Edomit lan; li te nan ras wayal a Édom an.

And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

15 Paske li te vin rive ke lè David te Édom e Joab, chèf lame a te monte pou antere mò yo, li te frape touye tout gason nan Édom yo

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

16 (paske Joab avèk tout Israël te rete la pandan si mwa, jiskaske li te koupe, fè desann tout gason nan Édom yo.)

(For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom: )

17 Se nan moman sa a ke Hadad te sove ale rive an Égypte, li menm avèk kèk Edomit ki te sèvitè a papa li avèk li, pandan Hadad te jenn gason.

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 te leve soti Madian, pou rive Paran. Yo te pran mesye yo avèk yo soti Paran pou te rive an Égypte, kote Farawon, wa Égypte la. Farawon te bay yo yon kay e li te founi Hadad avèk manje e li te bay li tè.

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; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.

19 Alò, Hadad te twouve gran favè devan Farawon. Konsa, li te ba li nan maryaj, sè a pwòp madanm li, sè a Thachpenès, rèn nan.

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 Sè a Thachpenès la te fè fis li, Guenubath, ke Thachpenès te sevre lakay Farawon pami fis a Farawon yo.

And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh.

21 Men lè Hadad te tande an Égypte ke David te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e ke Joab, chèf lame a te mouri, Hadad te di a Farawon: “Voye mwen ale, pou m kab rive nan pwòp peyi pa mwen.”

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 Alò, Farawon te di li: “Men kisa ou te manke avè m, ke konsa, w ap chache ale nan pwòp peyi pa ou?” Li te reponn li: “Anyen: men anverite, fòk ou kite mwen ale.”

Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what have you lacked with me, that, behold, you seek to go to your own country? And he answered, Nothing: nevertheless let me go in any way.

23 Bondye te osi leve yon lòt lènmi a li menm, Rezon, fis a Éliada a, ki te sove ale devan Chèf li, Hadadézer wa Tsoba a.

And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:

24 Li te ranmase moun vè li menm pou te devni chèf a yon twoup bandi mawon. Apre David te vin touye yo nan Tsoba, yo te deplase a Damas pou rete la e te renye Damas.

And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.

25 Konsa, li te lènmi a Israël pou tout jou a Salomon yo, ansanm avèk mechanste ke Hadad te fè yo. Li te rayi Israël e li te renye sou Syrie.

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 Syria.

26 Alò, Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la, yon Efratyen nan Tseréda, yon sèvitè a Salomon, manman a sila ki te rele Tserua a, yon vèv, li osi te fè rebèl kont wa a.

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

27 Alò, se te pou rezon sa ke li te fè rebèl kont wa a: Salomon te bati sitadèl Millo, e li te fèmen brèch nan lavil papa l la, David.

And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father.

28 Alò, Jéroboam te yon gèrye vanyan e lè Salomon te wè ke jennonm nan te travay byen, li te chwazi li sou tout kòvey lakay Joseph yo.

And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.

29 Li te vin rive vè lè sa a, lè Jéroboam te kite Jérusalem, ke pwofèt la, Achija, te mete yon manto nèf sou li; epi yo de a te rankontre ansanm san lòt moun nan mitan chan an.

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; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field:

30 Alò, Achija te sezi kenbe manto nèf ki te sou li a, e li te chire li nan douz mòso.

And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:

31 Li te di a Jéroboam: “Pran pou ou menm dis mòso; paske konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va chire wayòm nan sòti nan men Salomon, e ba ou dis tribi

And he said to Jeroboam, Take you ten pieces: for thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to you:

32 (men li va gen yon tribi pou koz sèvitè Mwen an, David, ak pou koz Jérusalem, vil ke M te chwazi soti nan tout tribi Israël yo),

(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 akoz yo te abandone Mwen e te adore Astarté deyès a Sidonyen yo, Kemosh, dye a Moab la ak Milcom, dye a fis Ammon yo. Epi yo pa t mache nan vwa Mwen yo, pou fè sa ki dwat nan zye M, e swiv règleman Mwen yo avèk òdonans Mwen yo, jan papa li, David te fè a.

Because that 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 mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.

34 “‘Sepandan, Mwen p ap pran tout wayòm nan sòti nan men l, men Mwen va fè li chèf pandan tout jou lavi li, pou koz David, ke Mwen te chwazi, ki te swiv kòmandman Mwen yo avèk règleman Mwen yo,

Nevertheless 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 men Mwen va rache wayòm nan nan men fis li pou bay ou, menm dis tribi.

But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto you, even ten tribes.

36 Men a fis li yo, mwen va bay yon tribi, pou sèvitè Mwen an, David kab toujou gen yon lanp devan Mwen nan Jérusalem, vil kote Mwen te chwazi pou Mwen menm nan pou mete non Mwen an.

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

37 Mwen va pran ou e ou va renye sou nenpòt sa ou vle e ou va wa sou Israël.

And I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.

38 Epi li va ye, ke si ou koute tout sa ke M kòmande ou, mache nan vwa Mwen yo, fè sa ki dwat nan zye Mwen, e swiv règleman Mwen yo avèk kòmandman Mwen yo jan sèvitè Mwen David te fè a, alò, Mwen va avèk ou pou bati pou ou yon kay k ap dire, jis jan ke M te bati pou David la, e Mwen va bay Israël a ou menm.

And it shall be, if you will hearken unto all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with you, and build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto you.

39 Konsa, Mwen va aflije desandan a David yo pou sa, men pa pou tout tan.’”

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

40 Akoz sa, Salomon te chache mete Jéroboam a lanmò, men Jéroboam te leve e te sove ale rive an Égypte kote Schischak, wa Égypte la, e li te rete an Égypte jiska lanmò Salomon.

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

41 Alò tout lòt zèv a Salomon yo ak tout sa li te fè ak sajès li, èske yo pa ekri nan liv a zèv Salomon yo?

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 Konsa, tan ke Salomon te renye Jérusalem sou tout Israël la se te karantan.

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

43 Epi Salomon te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere nan vil a papa li, David e fis li a, Roboam te renye nan plas li.

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