I Na Lii 11
1 U A aloha aku la o Solomona ke alii i na wahine e he nui no, me ke kaikamahine pu a Parao, na wahine o ka Moaba, a o ka Amora, a o ka Edoma, a o ko Sidona, a me ka Heta;
Inkosi uSolomoni yayibathanda kakhulu abafazi bezizweni kanye lendodakazi kaFaro, amaMowabi, ama-Amoni, ama-Edomi, amaSidoni lamaHithi.
2 O ko na lahuikanaka a Iehova i olelo mai ai i na mamo a Iseraela, Aole oukou e komo aku io lakou la, aole hoi lakou e komo mai io oukou nei, no ka mea, e hoohuli io lakou la i ko oukou naau mamuli o ko lakou mau akua; hoopili ae la o Solomona ia lakou me ke aloha.
Babengabezizwe uThixo ayethe kwabako-Israyeli, “Lingathathani labo, ngoba bazaguqulela inhliziyo zenu kubonkulunkulu babo.” Lanxa kunjalo, uSolomoni wabambelela kubo ngothando.
3 A loaa ia ia ehiku haneri wahine, na wahine alii, a ekolu haneri haiawahine; a hoohuli e aku kana mau wahine i kona naau.
Wayelabafazi abangamakhulu ayisikhombisa ababezalwa esikhosini labanye abafazi beceleni abangamakhulu amathathu; lakanye abafazi bakhe baphambukisa inhliziyo yakhe.
4 O keia hoi, a elemakule ae la o Solomona, ua hoohuli ae kana mau wahine i kona naau mamuli o na akua e; aole i hemolele kona naau ia Iehova kona Akua, e like me ka naau o Davida kona makuakane.
Ekuluphaleni kwakhe uSolomoni, abafazi bakhe baphambulela ukholo lwakhe kwabanye onkulunkulu, inhliziyo yakhe ayizange ilandele uThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe ngokupheleleyo, njengenhliziyo kaDavida uyise.
5 No ka mea ua hahai ae la o Solomona mamuli o Aseterota ke akua wahine o ko Sidona, a mamuli o Milekoma ka mea i hoowahawahaia o ka Amona.
USolomoni walandela u-Ashithorethi unkulunkulu wamaSidoni, loMoleki unkulunkulu onengekayo wama-Amoni.
6 A hana ino ae la o Solomona ma ke alo o Iehova, aole hele okoa mamuli o Iehova, e like me Davida kona makuakane.
Ngalokho uSolomoni wona phambi kukaThixo; kazange alandele uThixo ngokupheleleyo, njengokwakwenziwe nguyise uDavida.
7 Alaila hana ae la o Solomona i wahi kiekie no Kemosaka mea inainaia o ka Moaba, ma ka puu mamua o Ierusalema, a no Moleka ka mea inainaia o na mamo a Amona.
Eqaqeni olusempumalanga yeJerusalema, uSolomoni wakhela unkulunkulu onengekayo wamaMowabi uKhemoshi, loMoleki unkulunkulu onengekayo wama-Amoni indawo yomhlatshelo.
8 Pela ia i hana'i no na wahine e ana a pau i kukuni i ka mea ala a i kaumaha aku no ko lakou mau akua.
Wenza okufananayo kubo bonke abafazi bakhe bezizweni, batshisa impepha banikela ngemihlatshelo kubonkulunkulu babo.
9 Huhu mai la o Iehova ia Solomona, no ka huli ana'e o kona naau mai o Iehova ae ke Akua o Iseraela, ka mea i ikeia e ia i na manawa elua;
UThixo wamthukuthelela uSolomoni ngoba inhliziyo yakhe yayisimfulathele uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yena ayezibonakalise kuye kabili.
10 A i kauoha mai la hoi ia ia no keia mea, i ole ia e hahai mamuli o ua akua e: aka, aole oia i malama i ka mea a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia ia.
Lanxa wayemlayile uSolomoni ukuba angalandeli abanye onkulunkulu, uSolomoni kazange awulandele umlayo kaThixo.
11 Nolaila i olelo mai ai o Iehova ia Solomona, No kau hana ana ia mea, aole hoi i malama mai i kuu berita, a me ko'u mau kanawai a'u i kauoha aku ai ia oe, e kaili ae auauei au i ke aupuni mai ou ae nei, a e haawi aku no ia i kau kauwa.
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 Aka, i kou mau la, aole au e hana i keia no Davida kou makuakane; aka, mailoko ae o ka lima o kau koiki e kaili ae ai au ia.
Loba kunjalo, ngenxa kaDavida uyihlo, angiyikwenza lokho wena usaphila. Ngizawuhluthuna esandleni sendodana yakho.
13 Aole hoi au e kaili honua i ke aupuni a pau, e haawi aku no au i hookahi ohana i kau keiki no Davida ka'u kauwa, a no Ierusalema a'u i koho ai.
Kanti njalo angiyikuwuhluthuna wonke umbuso kuyo, kodwa ngizayinika isizwana esisodwa ngenxa kaDavida inceku yami njalo langenxa yeJerusalema, yona esengiyikhethile.”
14 Hooku mai la o Iehova i ka enemi ia Solomona, o Hadada no Edoma; no na keiki ia a ke alii ma Edoma.
Ngakho uThixo wasemvusela isitha uSolomoni, uHadadi umʼEdomi owesikhosini sama-Edomi.
15 No ka mea, o keia kekahi, i ka wa i noho ai o Davida ma Edoma, hele ae la o Ioaba ka luna o ka poe koa e kanu i ka poe i pepehiia, mahope o kona pepehi ana ae i na kane a pau ma Edoma;
Mandulo uDavida esalwa lama-Edomi, uJowabi umlawuli webutho, owayengcwaba abafileyo, wayetshaye wabhuqa wonke amadoda ama-Edomi.
16 (No ka mea, ua noho o Ioaba malaila me ka Iseraela a pau i na malama eono, a oki aku oia i na kane a pau ma Edoma; )
UJowabi lawo wonke ama-Israyeli ahlala khonale okwezinyanga eziyisithupha, baze babhubhisa wonke amadoda e-Edomi.
17 Holo aku la o Hadada, oia me kekahi poe kanaka o Edoma pu o na kauwa o kona makuakane me ia, e hele pu i Aigupita; he keiki uuku o Hadada.
Kodwa uHadadi, esesengumfanyana, wabalekela eGibhithe lezinye izikhulu zama-Edomi ezazisebenzele uyise.
18 Puka ae la lakou mailoko ae o Midiana, a hele i Parana; a lawe pu lakou i kanaka mailoko ae o Parana, a hele i Aigupita ia Parao ke alii o Aigupita, nana no i haawi i hale nona, a hooponopono i ai nana, a haawi hoi i kahi aina ia ia.
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 A loaa ia Hadada ka lokomaikai nui ia ma ke alo o Parao, a haawi oia ia ia i ka hoahanau o kana wahine iho, ka hoahanau o Tapene ke alii wahine.
UHadadi wathandeka kakhulu kuFaro, waze wamendisela udadewabo womkakhe, udadewabo kaThaphenesi iNdlovukazi.
20 A hanau mai la ka hoahanau o Tapene i keikikane nana, o Genubata, a na Tapene ia i ukuhi maloko o ka hale o Parao; a iloko no o Genubata o ka hale o Parao iwaena o na keiki a Parao.
Udadewabo kaThaphenesi wamzalela indodana eyathiwa nguGenubhathi. UThaphenesi wayondlela esigodlweni, kulapho-ke uGenubathi ahlala khona labantwana bakaFaro.
21 A lohe o Hadada ma Aigupita, ua hiamoe o Davida me kona mau makua, a ua make hoi o Ioaba ka luna o ka poe koa, i aku la o Hadada ia Parao, E hookuu ae ia'u e hele ae i ko'u aina,
Kwathi uHadadi esezwile eseGibhithe ukuthi uDavida kasekho lokuthi uJowabi induna yempi sewafa, wathi kuFaro: “Ake ungivumele ukuba ngiye elizweni lakithi.”
22 Alaila olelo mai la o Parao ia ia, Heaha kou mea hemahema ia'u, ea, i imi ai oe e hoi aku i kou aina? I aku la oia, Aohe, aka, e hookuu wale mai oe ia'u.
UFaro wathi kuye, “Usweleni lapha okwenza ufune ukubuyela elizweni lakini na?” UHadadi waphendula wathi, “Akulalutho kodwa ngivumela ngihambe!”
23 A hooku mai la ke Akua i kekahi enemi, o Rezona ke keiki a Eliada, ka mea i mahuka mai kona haku aku o Hadedezera ke alii o Zoba;
UNkulunkulu wamvusela njalo uSolomoni esinye isitha, uRezoni indodana ka-Eliyada owayebalekile enkosini yakhe uHadadezeri inkosi yaseZobha.
24 Ua hoakoakoa ae la oia i kanaka io ua iho no, a lilo oia i lunakoa maluna o ka papa, i ka wa i pepehi ai o Davida ia lakou; a hele ae la lakou i Damaseko, a noho malaila, a ua alii ae la hoi ma Damaseko.
Waqoqa ixuku labahlamuki waba ngumkhokheli walo ngesikhathi uDavida echitha impi kaZobha; abahlamuki baya eDamaseko lapho bafika bahlala khona bayiphatha leyondawo.
25 A ua ku e mai la oia i ka Iseraela i na la a pau o Solomona, okoa ke kolohe ana o Hadada: hoowahawaha mai la o Rezona i ka Iseraela, a ua alii ae la maluna o Suria.
URezoni waba yisitha sako-Israyeli ngesikhathi sokuphila kukaSolomoni, wengezelela kuloluhlupho olwasungulwa nguHadadi. Ngakho uRezoni wabusa e-Aramu ehlezi ezonda ilizwe lako-Israyeli.
26 A o Ieroboama ke keiki a Nebata, o ka Eperaima no Zereda, o Zerua ka inoa o kona makuwahine he wahinekanemake, o ke kauwa a Solomona, oia kekahi i hapai i ka lima ku e i ke alii.
UJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi laye wahlamukela inkosi. Wayekade engesinye sezikhulu zikaSolomoni, engowesizwana sika-Efrayimi evela eZereda, unina owayethiwa nguZeruwa wayengumfelokazi.
27 Eia ka kumu i hapai ai oia i ka lima i ku e i ke alii; kukulu ae la o Solomona ia Milo, a hoopaa iho la i na wahi naha o ke kulanakauhale o Davida kona makuakane.
Le yimbali yokuhlamukela kwakhe inkosi: USolomoni wayakhe walungisa amaguma ayizisekelo, njalo wagcwalisa evala isikhala esasisele emdulini wedolobho likayise uDavida.
28 A o ke kanaka Ieroboama, he kanaka koa ikaika loa no ia; a ike ae la o Solomona i ua kanaka ui la e hoomau ana i ka hana, hoolilo ae la oia ia ia i luna maluna o ka ukana a pau o ka ohana o Iosepa.
UJerobhowamu wayeyindoda eyaziwayo, uSolomoni uthe ebona ukuthi wayelijaha elenza kuhle kanganani umsebenzi walo, wambeka induna yezisebenzi zonke endlini kaJosefa.
29 Eia kekahi mea ia manawa, i ka puka ana'e o Ieroboama mai Ierusalema ae, loaa oia i ke kaula ia Ahiia no Silo, ma ke alanui, a ua hoaahu oia ia ia iho me ke aahu hou; a o laua wale no ma ke kula.
Ngalesosikhathi uJerobhowamu waphuma eJerusalema, wahlangana lomphrofethi weShilo u-Ahija endleleni, egqoke isigqoko esitsha. Bahlangana bebodwa bobabili kuleyondawo,
30 Lalau iho la o Ahiia i ka aahu hou ka mea maluna iho ona, a uhae ae la ia mea i mau apana he umikumamalua.
kwathi u-Ahija wathatha isigqoko esitsha ayesigqokile wasidabula iziqa ezilitshumi lambili.
31 A olelo mai la oia ia Ieroboama, E lawe oe i na apana he umi; no ka mea, ke i mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o Iseraela, peneia, Eia hoi, e kaili ae auanei au i ke aupuni mailoko ae o ka lima o Solomona, a e haawi au i na ohana he umi ia oe:
Wasesithi kuJerobhowamu, “Wena zithathele iziqa ezilitshumi kulezi, ngoba uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Khangela, ngizahluthuna umbuso esandleni sikaSolomoni ngikunike izizwana ezilitshumi.
32 Aka, ia ia no ka ohana hookahi no Davida ka'u kauwa, a no Ierusalema ke kulanakauhale a'u i koho ai mailoko mai o na ohana a pau o ka Iseraela:
Kodwa ngenxa yenceku yami uDavida ledolobho leJerusalema, lona engilikhethileyo phakathi kwazo zonke izizwana zako-Israyeli, ngizamtshiyela isizwana esisodwa.
33 O No ka mea, ua haalele mai lakou ia'u, a ua hoomana ae ia Aseterota ke akua wahine o ko Sidona, ia Kemosa ke akua o ka Moaba, a ia Milekoma ke akua o na mamo a Amona, aole hoi i hele ma ko'u mau aoao, e hana i ka mea pono i ko'u mau maka, i ka malama i ko'u mau kanawai a me ko'u mau kapu, e like me Davida kona makuakane.
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 Aole nae au e kaili honua ae i ke aupuni a pau mailoko ae o kona lima; aka, e hoomau auanei au i kona alii ana i na la a pau o kona ola ana, no Davida ka'u kauwa, a'u i koho ai no kona malama ana i ka'u mau kauoha a me ko'u mau kanawai.
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 Aka, e kaili ae auanei au i ke aupuni mailoko ae o ka lima o kana keiki, a e haawi au ia ia oe, i na ohana he umi.
Ngizathatha umbuso esandleni sendodana yakhe ngikunike izizwana ezilitshumi.
36 A i kana keiki, hookahi ohana ka'u e haawi aku ai, i mau ai ke kukui no Davida ka'u kauwa, imua o ko'u alo ma Ierusalema, ke kulanakauhale a'u i koho ai no'u e waiho ai i ko'u inoa malaila.
Ngizanika indodana yakhe isizwana esisodwa ukuze inceku yami uDavida ibe lesibane ngezikhathi zonke phambi kwami eJerusalema, umuzi engakhetha ukufaka iBizo lami.
37 A e lawe au ia oe, a e alii ae no oe mamuli o ka mea a pau a kou uhane e makemake ai, a e lilo no oe i alii no ka Iseraela.
Kodwa-ke, wena ngokwakho, ngizakuthatha, njalo uzabusa phezu kwakho konke njengokufisa kwenhliziyo yakho yonke; uzakuba ngumbusi walo lonke elako-Israyeli.
38 Peneia auanei hoi, ina e hoolohe mai oe i ka mea a pau a'u e kauoha aku ai ia oe, a e hele hoi ma ko'u mau aoao, a hana hoi i ka mea pono i ko'u mau maka, i ka malama i ko'u mau kanawai, a me ka'u mau kauoha me Davida ka'u kauwa i hana'i; alaila owau pu auanei me oe, a e kukulu au i hale ku paa nou me ka'u i kukulu ai no Davida, a e haawi au i ka Iseraela ia oe.
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 No keia mea, e hookaumaha ai au i na mamo a Davida, aole hoi i na la a pau loa.
Ngizabethula isithunzi abenzalo kaDavida ngenxa yalokhu, kodwa hatshi kuze kube nininini.’”
40 A imi iho la o Solomona e pepehi ia Ieroboama; a ku ae la o Ieroboama iluna, a holo aku la i Aigupita io Sisaka la, ke alii o Aigupita, a noho ia ma Aigupita a make o Solomona.
USolomoni wazama ukubulala uJerobhowamu kodwa uJerobhowamu wabalekela eGibhithe, enkosini uShishakhi, njalo wahlala khonale uSolomoni waze wafa.
41 A o na hana e ae a Solomona, a me na mea a pau ana i hana'i, a me kona akamai, aole anei ia i kakauia ma ka buke o na hana a Solomona?
Ezinye izehlakalo ezenzakala ekubuseni kukaSolomoni lakho konke akwenzayo lenhlakanipho yakhe ayitshengiselayo akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali kaSolomoni na?
42 A o na la i alii ai o Solomona ma Ierusalema maluna o ka Iseraela a pau he kanaha mau makahiki.
USolomoni wabusa eJerusalema phezu kuka-Israyeli okweminyaka engamatshumi amane.
43 A hiamoe iho la o Solomona me kona mau makua, a ua kanuia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida kona makuakane, a alii ae la o Rehoboama kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.
Kwaba yikho ukufa kwakhe eselandela oyise njalo wangcwatshwelwa emzini kaDavida uyise. URehobhowami indodana yakhe yathatha ubukhosi ngemva kwakhe.
