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 foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, —women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, 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.

out of the nations concerning whom Yahweh had said unto the sons of Israel—Ye shall not go in unto them, and, they, shall not come in unto you, surely they will turn aside your heart after their gods. Unto these, did Solomon cleave in love.

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

So it came to pass that he had seven hundred wives who were princesses, and three hundred concubines, —and, his wives, turned aside, 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.

Yea it came to pass, in the old age of Solomon, that, his wives, turned aside his heart after other gods, —his heart therefore was not sound with Yahweh 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.

And Solomon went after Ashtoreth, 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.

Thus Solomon did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and went not fully after Yahweh, 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 a high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, —and for Molech, the abomination of the sons 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, thus, did he for all his foreign wives, —who burned incense and offered sacrifices 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.

Therefore did Yahweh shew himself angry with Solomon, —because his heart had turned aside from Yahweh God of Israel, who 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 been giving command to him concerning this thing, that he should not go away after other gods, —but he had not taken heed unto that which Yahweh had 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 Yahweh said unto Solomon—Forasmuch as this hath come to pass with thee, and thou hast not heeded my covenant and my statutes, which I charged upon thee, I will, rend, the kingdom away from thee, and will give it unto a servant of thine.

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 thine own days, will I not do it, for the sake of David thy father, —out of the hand of thy son, will I rend it.

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.”

Howbeit, all the kingdom, will I not rend away, one tribe, will I give unto thy son, —for the sake of David my servant, and for the sake of Jerusalem, 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 Yahweh raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite, —of the seed of the king, was he, 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

And it came to pass, when David was dealing with Edom, and Joab general of the army went up to bury the slain, —and 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 men of Edom of the servants of his father, with him, to go into Egypt, —Hadad being a little boy.

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.

So they arose out of Midian, and came into Paran, —and took certain men with them out of Paran, and came into Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and, food, appointed him, and, land, did give unto him.

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 eyes 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 to him Genubath his son, and Tahpenes weaned him, in the house of Pharaoh, —and so it came about, that Genubath was of the household of Pharaoh, 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 general of the army was dead, Hadad said unto Pharaoh, Let me go, that I may take my journey unto mine own land.

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 said Pharaoh unto him—But what hast thou been lacking with me, that lo! thou art seeking to take thy journey unto thine own land? And he said—Nothing, howbeit, let me go.

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 raised up against him an adversary, Rezon son of Eliada, —who had fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord;

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 unto him men, and became captain of a band when David slew them [of Zobah], —then went they 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.

Thus became he an adversary unto Israel, all the days of Solomon, this, is the mischief which Hadad did, —so then, he abhorred Israel, when he 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.

Jeroboam also, son of Nebat, an Ephrathite from Zeredah, whose, mother’s name, was Zeruah, a widow woman, he being servant to Solomon, lifted up a 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 a hand against the king, —Solomon, built Millo, he closed up of the of David his father. the breach city

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.

Now, the man Jeroboam, being an able Solomon observed his servant, that he man, was, one to execute a work, so he gave him oversight of 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 forth out of Jerusalem, that there met him Ahijah the Shilonite, the prophet, in the way, he having wrapped himself about with a new mantle; and, they two, were by themselves, in the field.

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

Then Ahijah laid hold of the new mantle, that was upon him, —and rent it into 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 said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten places, —for Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel—Behold me! about to rend the kingdom, out of the hand of Solomon, and I will give unto thee ten tribes:

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),

Howbeit, one tribe, shall he retain, —for the sake of my servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city that 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 they have forsaken me, and bowed themselves down to Ashtoreth, goddess of the Zidonians, to Chemosh, god of the Moabites, and to Milcom, god of the sons of Ammon, —and have not walked in my ways, by doing what is right in mine eyes, even my statutes and my regulations, like 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,

Yet will I not take all the kingdom out of his hand, —but will suffer him to be, leader, all the days of his life, for the sake of David my servant, whom I chose, —who 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 the hand of his son, and will give it to thee, even the 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.

Nevertheless, go his son, will I give one tribe, —to the end there may remain a lamp unto David my servant always before me, in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen for myself, 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.

But, thee, will I take, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul could desire, —and thou shalt 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.

So shall it be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that which is right in mine eyes, by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as did David my servant, then will I be with thee, and will build thee an assured house, as I have built for David, and will give unto thee, Israel.

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

Thus will I humiliate the seed of David, because of this; yet 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.

When therefore Solomon sought to put, Jeroboam, to death, Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, —and remained 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?

Now, the rest of the story of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are, they, not written in the book of the records of Solomon?

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

Now, the days which Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all Israel, were 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.

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