1 Sarakuna 11

1 Sarki Solomon ya ƙaunaci baƙin mata. Ban da’yar Fir’auna, ya auri Mowabawa, Ammonawa, mutanen Edom, Sidoniyawa da Hittiyawa.

Inkosi uSolomoni yayibathanda kakhulu abafazi bezizweni kanye lendodakazi kaFaro, amaMowabi, ama-Amoni, ama-Edomi, amaSidoni lamaHithi.

2 Sun fito daga al’ummai da Ubangiji ya ce wa Isra’ilawa, “Kada ku yi aurayya da su, domin tabbatacce za su juye zukatanku zuwa ga waɗansu alloli.” Duk da haka Solomon ya manne musu, ya nace, yana ƙaunarsu.

Babengabezizwe uThixo ayethe kwabako-Israyeli, “Lingathathani labo, ngoba bazaguqulela inhliziyo zenu kubonkulunkulu babo.” Lanxa kunjalo, uSolomoni wabambelela kubo ngothando.

3 Ya auri mata ɗari bakwai, haifaffun gidan sarauta, da kuma ƙwarƙwarai ɗari uku. Matan nan nasa suka karkatar da shi.

Wayelabafazi abangamakhulu ayisikhombisa ababezalwa esikhosini labanye abafazi beceleni abangamakhulu amathathu; lakanye abafazi bakhe baphambukisa inhliziyo yakhe.

4 Yayinda Solomon yake tsufa, matansa suka juye zuciyarsa ga bin waɗansu alloli, zuciyarsa kuwa ba tă bi Ubangiji Allahnsa ɗungum kamar yadda zuciyar Dawuda mahaifinsa ta kasance ba.

Ekuluphaleni kwakhe uSolomoni, abafazi bakhe baphambulela ukholo lwakhe kwabanye onkulunkulu, inhliziyo yakhe ayizange ilandele uThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe ngokupheleleyo, njengenhliziyo kaDavida uyise.

5 Ya bi Ashtarot, alliyar Sidoniyawa, da Molek, allahn da aka hana na Ammonawa.

USolomoni walandela u-Ashithorethi unkulunkulu wamaSidoni, loMoleki unkulunkulu onengekayo wama-Amoni.

6 Saboda haka Solomon ya yi abin da yake mugu a gaban Ubangiji. Bai bi Ubangiji gaba ɗaya kamar yadda Dawuda mahaifinsa ya yi ba.

Ngalokho uSolomoni wona phambi kukaThixo; kazange alandele uThixo ngokupheleleyo, njengokwakwenziwe nguyise uDavida.

7 A kan tudu, gabas da Urushalima, Solomon ya gina masujada a can domin Kemosh, allahn da aka hana na Mowab, da Molek, allahn da aka hana na Ammonawa.

Eqaqeni olusempumalanga yeJerusalema, uSolomoni wakhela unkulunkulu onengekayo wamaMowabi uKhemoshi, loMoleki unkulunkulu onengekayo wama-Amoni indawo yomhlatshelo.

8 Ya yi haka domin dukan baƙin matansa, waɗanda suka ƙone turare suka kuma miƙa hadayu ga allolinsu.

Wenza okufananayo kubo bonke abafazi bakhe bezizweni, batshisa impepha banikela ngemihlatshelo kubonkulunkulu babo.

9 Ubangiji ya yi fushi da Solomon domin zuciyarsa ya juye daga Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, wanda ya bayyana masa sau biyu.

UThixo wamthukuthelela uSolomoni ngoba inhliziyo yakhe yayisimfulathele uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yena ayezibonakalise kuye kabili.

10 Ko da yake ya hana Solomon bin waɗansu alloli, Solomon bai kiyaye umarnin Ubangiji ba.

Lanxa wayemlayile uSolomoni ukuba angalandeli abanye onkulunkulu, uSolomoni kazange awulandele umlayo kaThixo.

11 Saboda haka Ubangiji ya ce wa Solomon, “Da yake halinka ke nan, ba ka kuma kiyaye alkawarina, da ƙa’idodina da na umarce ka ba, tabbatacce zan yage masarautar daga gare ka, in ba da ita ga ɗaya daga cikin bayinka.

Ngakho uThixo wasesithi kuSolomoni. “Njengoba le kuyiyo injongo yakho njalo awugcinanga isivumelwano sami kanye lezimiso zami, lezo engakulaya ngazo, impela ngizawuhluthuna umbuso wakho kuwe ngiwunike omunye wabantu abangaphansi kwakho.

12 Amma saboda Dawuda mahaifinka, ba zan yi haka a zamaninka ba. Zan yage ta daga hannun ɗanka.

Loba kunjalo, ngenxa kaDavida uyihlo, angiyikwenza lokho wena usaphila. Ngizawuhluthuna esandleni sendodana yakho.

13 Amma ba zan yage dukan masarautar daga gare shi ba, zan ba shi kabila ɗaya saboda Dawuda bawana, da kuma saboda Urushalima, wadda na zaɓa.”

Kanti njalo angiyikuwuhluthuna wonke umbuso kuyo, kodwa ngizayinika isizwana esisodwa ngenxa kaDavida inceku yami njalo langenxa yeJerusalema, yona esengiyikhethile.”

14 Sai Ubangiji ya tayar wa Solomon wani abokin gāba, mai suna Hadad, mutumin Edom daga gidan sarautar Edom.

Ngakho uThixo wasemvusela isitha uSolomoni, uHadadi umʼEdomi owesikhosini sama-Edomi.

15 A shekarun baya Dawuda ya ci Edom da yaƙi. Yowab, shugaban sojojinsa ya tafi can domin yă binne Isra’ilawa waɗanda suka mutu a yaƙi. Sa’ad da suke a can, sojojin Isra’ila suka kashe kowane ɗa namiji a Edom.

Mandulo uDavida esalwa lama-Edomi, uJowabi umlawuli webutho, owayengcwaba abafileyo, wayetshaye wabhuqa wonke amadoda ama-Edomi.

16 Yowab da dukan Isra’ilawa suka zauna a can, wata shida, sai da suka hallaka dukan mutane a Edom.

UJowabi lawo wonke ama-Israyeli ahlala khonale okwezinyanga eziyisithupha, baze babhubhisa wonke amadoda e-Edomi.

17 Amma Hadad yana ɗan yaro a lokaci, wanda ya gudu zuwa Masar tare da shugabannin mutanen Edom waɗanda suka yi wa mahaifinsa hidima.

Kodwa uHadadi, esesengumfanyana, wabalekela eGibhithe lezinye izikhulu zama-Edomi ezazisebenzele uyise.

18 Suka taso daga Midiyan suka tafi Faran. Sa’an nan suka ɗauki mutane daga Faran suka tafi Masar, zuwa wurin Fir’auna wanda ya ba wa Hadad gida da ƙasa, ya kuma tanada masa da abinci.

Basuka eMidiyani baya ePharani. Bathe sebethatha amadoda ePharani behamba lawo, baya eGibhithe, kuFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe, yena owapha uHadadi indlu kanye lomhlaba waze wamnika kanye lokudla.

19 Fir’auna ya ji daɗin Hadad har ya ba shi’yar’uwar matarsa, Sarauniya Tafenes, aure.

UHadadi wathandeka kakhulu kuFaro, waze wamendisela udadewabo womkakhe, udadewabo kaThaphenesi iNdlovukazi.

20 ’Yar’uwar Tafenes ta haifi masa ɗa wanda ya kira Genubat, wanda Tafenes ta yi renonsa a fadan sarki. A can, Genubat ya yi zama da’ya’yan Fir’auna.

Udadewabo kaThaphenesi wamzalela indodana eyathiwa nguGenubhathi. UThaphenesi wayondlela esigodlweni, kulapho-ke uGenubathi ahlala khona labantwana bakaFaro.

21 Yayinda yake a Masar, Hadad ya ji Dawuda ya huta tare da kakanninsa, ya kuma ji cewa Yowab shugaban mayaƙa ya mutu. Sai Hadad ya ce wa Fir’auna, “Bari in tafi, don in koma ƙasata.”

Kwathi uHadadi esezwile eseGibhithe ukuthi uDavida kasekho lokuthi uJowabi induna yempi sewafa, wathi kuFaro: “Ake ungivumele ukuba ngiye elizweni lakithi.”

22 Fir’auna ya tambaye shi, ya ce, “Me ka rasa a nan da kake so ka koma garinka?” Ya ce, “Ba kome, amma ka dai bar ni in tafi!”

UFaro wathi kuye, “Usweleni lapha okwenza ufune ukubuyela elizweni lakini na?” UHadadi waphendula wathi, “Akulalutho kodwa ngivumela ngihambe!”

23 Allah kuwa ya tayar wa Solomon wani abokin gāba, mai suna Rezon, ɗan Eliyada, wanda ya gudu daga maigidansa, Hadadezer sarkin Zoba.

UNkulunkulu wamvusela njalo uSolomoni esinye isitha, uRezoni indodana ka-Eliyada owayebalekile enkosini yakhe uHadadezeri inkosi yaseZobha.

24 Rezon ya tattara mutane kewaye da shi, ya zama kuma shugaban’yan tawaye sa’ad da Dawuda ya hallaka mayaƙan Zoba;’yan tawayen suka tafi Damaskus, inda suka zauna, suka kuma yi mulki.

Waqoqa ixuku labahlamuki waba ngumkhokheli walo ngesikhathi uDavida echitha impi kaZobha; abahlamuki baya eDamaseko lapho bafika bahlala khona bayiphatha leyondawo.

25 Rezon ya zama babban abokin gāban Isra’ila cikin dukan kwanakin mulkin Solomon. Ya ƙara rikici a kan rikicin Hadad. Rezon ya ƙi mulkin Isra’ila da dukan ransa. Saboda haka Rezon ya yi mulki a Aram ya kuma ƙi jinin Isra’ila.

URezoni waba yisitha sako-Israyeli ngesikhathi sokuphila kukaSolomoni, wengezelela kuloluhlupho olwasungulwa nguHadadi. Ngakho uRezoni wabusa e-Aramu ehlezi ezonda ilizwe lako-Israyeli.

26 Haka ma Yerobowam, ɗan Nebat, shi ma ya yi wa sarki tawaye. Shi ɗaya ne daga shugabannin Solomon, shi mutumin Efraim ne daga Zereda, mahaifiyarsa kuwa gwauruwa ce, mai suna Zeruwa.

UJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi laye wahlamukela inkosi. Wayekade engesinye sezikhulu zikaSolomoni, engowesizwana sika-Efrayimi evela eZereda, unina owayethiwa nguZeruwa wayengumfelokazi.

27 Ga yadda ya tayar wa sarki Solomon. Sarki Solomon ya gina madogaran gini, ya ciccika wurare a katangar birnin Dawuda mahaifinsa da ƙasa.

Le yimbali yokuhlamukela kwakhe inkosi: USolomoni wayakhe walungisa amaguma ayizisekelo, njalo wagcwalisa evala isikhala esasisele emdulini wedolobho likayise uDavida.

28 To, Yerobowam mutum ne mai fasaha. Sa’ad da Solomon ya ga yadda matashin yake aiki da himma, sai ya sa shi yă lura da dukan aikin gandu na gidan Yusuf.

UJerobhowamu wayeyindoda eyaziwayo, uSolomoni uthe ebona ukuthi wayelijaha elenza kuhle kanganani umsebenzi walo, wambeka induna yezisebenzi zonke endlini kaJosefa.

29 Da Yerobowam ya fita Urushalima, sai annabi Ahiya, mutumin Shilo ya tarar da shi a hanya. Lokacin kuwa Ahiya yana saye da sabuwar riga, ba kowa a filin sai su biyu kaɗai.

Ngalesosikhathi uJerobhowamu waphuma eJerusalema, wahlangana lomphrofethi weShilo u-Ahija endleleni, egqoke isigqoko esitsha. Bahlangana bebodwa bobabili kuleyondawo,

30 Sai Ahiya ya kama sabuwar rigar da yake saye da ita ya yage ta gida goma sha biyu.

kwathi u-Ahija wathatha isigqoko esitsha ayesigqokile wasidabula iziqa ezilitshumi lambili.

31 Sa’an nan ya ce wa Yerobowam, “Ɗauki gida goma wa kanka, gama abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce ke nan, ‘Duba, zan yage masarauta daga hannun Solomon in ba ka kabilu goma.

Wasesithi kuJerobhowamu, “Wena zithathele iziqa ezilitshumi kulezi, ngoba uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Khangela, ngizahluthuna umbuso esandleni sikaSolomoni ngikunike izizwana ezilitshumi.

32 Amma saboda bawana Dawuda da kuma birnin Urushalima, wadda na zaɓa daga dukan kabilan Isra’ila, zai sami kabila guda.

Kodwa ngenxa yenceku yami uDavida ledolobho leJerusalema, lona engilikhethileyo phakathi kwazo zonke izizwana zako-Israyeli, ngizamtshiyela isizwana esisodwa.

33 Zan yi wannan domin sun yashe ni, suka kuma yi wa Ashtarot, alliyar Sidoniyawa, da Kemosh, allahn Mowabawa, da kuma Molek, allahn Ammonawa sujada, ba su yi tafiya a hanyoyina ba, ba su kuwa yi abin da yake daidai a idanuna ba, ba su kiyaye farillaina da dokokina kamar yadda Dawuda, mahaifin Solomon ya yi ba.

Ngizakwenza lokhu ngoba bangifulathele bakhonza u-Ashithorethi unkulunkulukazi wamaSidoni, loKhemoshi unkulunkulu wamaMowabi, kanye loMoleki unkulunkulu wama-Amoni, njalo abahambanga ngezami izindlela, abenzanga ukulunga phambi kwami, abayigcinanga imilayo lemithetho yami njengalokhu okwenziwa nguDavida uyise kaSolomoni.

34 “‘Amma ba zan ɗauki dukan masarautar daga hannun Solomon ba; na naɗa shi sarki, dukan kwanaki ransa saboda Dawuda bawana, wanda na zaɓa, wanda kuma ya kiyaye umarnai da farillaina.

Kodwa angiyikususa umbuso wonke esandleni sikaSolomoni; ngizamenza ukuba abe ngumbusi okwempilo yakhe yonke ngenxa yenceku yami uDavida, yena engamkhethayo njalo wayilandela imilayo yami wayigcina lemithetho yami.

35 Zan ɗauke masarautar daga hannuwan ɗansa ne, in ba ka kabilu goma.

Ngizathatha umbuso esandleni sendodana yakhe ngikunike izizwana ezilitshumi.

36 Zan ba da ɗaya ga ɗansa don kullum Dawuda bawana yă kasance da fitila a gabana a Urushalima, birnin da na zaɓa in sa Sunana.

Ngizanika indodana yakhe isizwana esisodwa ukuze inceku yami uDavida ibe lesibane ngezikhathi zonke phambi kwami eJerusalema, umuzi engakhetha ukufaka iBizo lami.

37 Amma fa, ga kai, zan ɗauke ka, za ka kuwa yi mulki bisa dukan abin da zuciyarka take so; za ka zama sarki a bisa Isra’ila.

Kodwa-ke, wena ngokwakho, ngizakuthatha, njalo uzabusa phezu kwakho konke njengokufisa kwenhliziyo yakho yonke; uzakuba ngumbusi walo lonke elako-Israyeli.

38 In ka aikata dukan abin da na umarce ka, ka yi tafiya a hanyoyina, ka kuma yi abin da yake daidai a idanuna ta wurin kiyaye farillaina da umarnaina, kamar yadda Dawuda bawana ya yi, zan kasance tare da kai. Zan gina maka masarauta mai dawwama kamar wadda na gina wa Dawuda, zan kuma ba da Isra’ila gare ka.

Nxa ungenza engikulaya ngakho uhambe ngezindlela zami wenze okuhle emehlweni ami okunjengokulalela imilayo yami lokulawulwa yimi, njengalokhu okwenziwa yinceku yami uDavida, ungenza njalo ngizakuba lawe. Ngizawuqinisa umbuso wakho njengokaDavida njalo ngizakunika u-Israyeli.

39 Zan ƙasƙantar da zuriyar Dawuda saboda wannan, amma ba har abada ba.’”

Ngizabethula isithunzi abenzalo kaDavida ngenxa yalokhu, kodwa hatshi kuze kube nininini.’”

40 Solomon ya yi ƙoƙari yă kashe Yerobowam, amma Yerobowam ya tsere zuwa Masar, zuwa wurin sarki Shishak, ya zauna a can sai bayan mutuwar Solomon.

USolomoni wazama ukubulala uJerobhowamu kodwa uJerobhowamu wabalekela eGibhithe, enkosini uShishakhi, njalo wahlala khonale uSolomoni waze wafa.

41 Game da sauran ayyukan mulkin Solomon, da dukan abubuwan da ya yi, da hikimar da ya nuna, an rubuta su a littafin tarihin Solomon.

Ezinye izehlakalo ezenzakala ekubuseni kukaSolomoni lakho konke akwenzayo lenhlakanipho yakhe ayitshengiselayo akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali kaSolomoni na?

42 Solomon ya yi mulki a Urushalima, a bisa dukan Isra’ila, shekaru arba’in.

USolomoni wabusa eJerusalema phezu kuka-Israyeli okweminyaka engamatshumi amane.

43 Sa’an nan ya huta tare da kakanninsa, aka kuma binne shi a birnin Dawuda mahaifinsa. Sai Rehobowam ɗansa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.

Kwaba yikho ukufa kwakhe eselandela oyise njalo wangcwatshwelwa emzini kaDavida uyise. URehobhowami indodana yakhe yathatha ubukhosi ngemva kwakhe.
