1 Ndị Eze 11
1 Ma eze Solomọn hụrụ ọtụtụ ndị inyom mba ọzọ nʼanya, tinyere nwa nwanyị Fero, ha bụ ndị inyom ndị Moab, ndị Amọn, ndị Edọm, ndị Saịdọn na ndị Het.
Now a number of strange women were loved by Solomon, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:
2 Ha bụ ndị sitere na mba ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị gwara Izrel sị, “Unu na ha agaghị alụrịtakwa di na nwunye, nʼihi na ha aghaghị ime ka obi unu gbasoo chi niile ha.” Ma, nʼagbanyeghị nke a, Solomọn rapara ha nʼahụ nʼihi ịhụnanya.
The nations of which the Lord had said to the children of Israel, You are not to take wives from them and they are not to take wives from you; or they will certainly make you go after their gods: to these Solomon was united in love.
3 Ọnụọgụgụ ndị inyom Solomọn lụrụ dị narị asaa, bụ ndị amụrụ nʼobi ndị eze. O nwekwara ndị iko nwanyị, ọnụọgụgụ ha dị narị atọ. Ndị inyom ya duhiere obi ya.
He had seven hundred wives, daughters of kings, and three hundred other wives; and through his wives his heart was turned away.
4 Mgbe Solomọn ghọrọ agadi, ndị inyom ndị a duhiere obi ya mee ka ọ gbasoo chi ndị ọzọ, nke mere na o jikwaghị obi ya niile gbasoo Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya, dịka Devid bụ nna ya mere.
For it came about that when Solomon was old, his heart was turned away to other gods by his wives; and his heart was no longer true to the Lord his God as the heart of his father David had been.
5 Ọ gbasoro Ashtọret, bụ chi ndị Saịdọn na Molek, bụ chi rụrụ arụ nke ndị Amọn.
For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Milcom, the disgusting god of the Ammonites.
6 Nʼụzọ dị otu a, Solomọn mere ihe ọjọọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. O soghị ụzọ Onyenwe anyị dịka nna ya Devid si mee nʼụbọchị niile nke ndụ ya.
And Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not walking in the Lord's ways with all his heart as David his father did.
7 Nʼelu ugwu dị nʼọwụwa anyanwụ Jerusalem, Solomọn wuru ebe dị elu nye Kemosh, chi rụrụ arụ nke ndị Moab, wuokwara Molek chi rụrụ arụ nke ndị Amọn.
Then Solomon put up a high place for Chemosh, the disgusting god of Moab, in the mountain before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the disgusting god worshipped by the children of Ammon.
8 O mekwara otu ihe ahụ nye ndị nwunye ya niile si mba ọzọ, bụ ndị na-achụ aja nsure ọkụ ihe na-esi isi ụtọ, na-achụkwa aja nsure ọkụ dị iche iche nye chi niile ha.
And so he did for all his strange wives, who made offerings with burning of perfumes to their gods.
9 Onyenwe anyị were iwe dị ukwuu megide Solomọn, nʼihi na obi ya esitela nʼebe Onyenwe anyị Chineke Izrel nọ pụọ, bụ onye mere ka ọ hụ ya anya ugboro abụọ.
And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had twice come to him in a vision;
10 Ọ bụ ezie na o nyere Solomọn iwu ka ọ ghara ịgbaso chi ndị ọzọ, ma Solomọn erubeghị isi nʼiwu a Onyenwe anyị nyere.
And had given him orders about this very thing, that he was not to go after other gods; but he did not keep the orders of the Lord.
11 Ya mere, Onyenwe anyị gwara Solomọn okwu sị, “Ebe ọ bụ na i mere ihe dị otu a, jụ idebe ọgbụgba ndụ m na ụkpụrụ m, nke m nyere gị idebe, aghaghị m isite nʼaka gị dọkapụ alaeze a, were ya nye otu nʼime ndị na-ejere gị ozi.
So the Lord said to Solomon, Because you have done this, and have not kept my agreement and my laws, which I gave you, I will take the kingdom away from you by force and will give it to your servant.
12 Ma nʼihi nna gị Devid agaghị m eme ihe ndị a mgbe ị dị ndụ. Aga m anapụ nwa gị nwoke alaeze Izrel.
I will not do it in your life-time, because of your father David, but I will take it from your son.
13 Ma agaghị m anapụcha ya alaeze Izrel niile, kama aga m eme ka ọ bụrụ eze otu ebo Izrel, nʼihi Devid, na nʼihi Jerusalem, obodo m họpụtara nye onwe m.”
Still I will not take all the kingdom from him; but I will give one tribe to your son, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town of my selection.
14 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị mere ka onye iro bilie megide Solomọn. Onye a bụ Hadad onye Edọm, onye sikwa nʼezinaụlọ ndị eze Edọm.
So the Lord sent Hadad the Edomite to make trouble for Solomon: he was of the king's seed in Edom.
15 Nʼoge gara aga, mgbe Devid na-ebuso ndị Edọm agha, Joab, onyeisi ndị agha, onye gara ili ndị agha e gburu egbu, tigburu ndị ikom niile nọ nʼEdọm.
And when David had sent destruction on Edom, and Joab, the captain of the army, had gone to put the dead into the earth, and had put to death every male in Edom;
16 Joab na ndị agha Izrel niile nọgidere nʼebe ahụ ọnwa isii, tutu ruo mgbe ha gbuchapụrụ ndị ikom niile nọ nʼEdọm.
(For Joab and all Israel were there six months till every male in Edom had been cut off; )
17 Ma Hadad, onye bụ nwantakịrị nʼoge ahụ, gbapụrụ ọsọ gbaga Ijipt, ya na ụfọdụ ndịisi ọchịchị Edọm, ndị jeere nna ya ozi.
Hadad, being still a young boy, went in flight to Egypt, with certain Edomites, servants of his father;
18 Ha sitere nʼala Midia gaa Paran. Site na Paran, ha duuru ụfọdụ ndị mmadụ, ndị sooro ha gaa Ijipt, jekwuru Fero eze Ijipt, onye nyere Hadad ụlọ obibi na ala, nyekwa ya ihe oriri.
And they went on from Midian and came to Paran; and, taking men from Paran with them, they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who gave him a house and gave orders for his food and gave him land.
19 Hadad hụtara amara nʼihu Fero, nke mere na ọ kpọnyere ya nwanne nwanyị Tapenes bụ nwunye eze ka ọ bụrụ nwunye ya.
Now Hadad was very pleasing to Pharaoh, so that he gave him the sister of his wife, Tahpenes the queen, for his wife.
20 Nwanne Tapenes mụtara ya nwa nwoke aha ya bụ Genubat, onye Tapenes zụlitere nʼụlọeze. Genubat biri nʼetiti ụmụ Fero.
And the sister of Tahpenes had a son by him, Genubath, whom Tahpenes took care of in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was living in Pharaoh's house among Pharaoh's sons.
21 Mgbe Hadad nọ nʼIjipt, ọ nụrụ na Devid sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ na Joab ọchịagha ndị agha anwụọkwala, ọ rịọrọ Fero arịrịọ ka o kwenye ka ọ laghachi nʼEdọm.
Now when Hadad had news in Egypt that David had been put to rest with his fathers, and that Joab, the captain of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, Send me back to my country.
22 Fero jụrụ ya ajụjụ sị ya, “Gịnị mere i ji chọọ ịla? O nwere ihe ị chọrọ nke ị na-adịghị enweta nʼebe a?” Hadad zara sị ya, “O nweghị ihe kọrọ m, kama kwere ka m laghachi.”
But Pharaoh said to him, What have you been short of while you have been with me, that you are desiring to go back to your country? And he said, Nothing; but even so, send me back.
23 Nwoke ọzọ Chineke mere ka ọ bụrụ onye iro Solomọn bụ Rezon nwa Eliada, onye gbapụrụ site nʼaka nna ya ukwu bụ Hadadeza, eze Zoba.
And God sent another trouble-maker, Rezon, the son of Eliada, who had gone in flight from his lord, Hadadezer, king of Zobah:
24 Devid lara ndị agha Zoba nʼiyi, Rezon chịkọtara ndị ikom gbara ya gburugburu, ghọọ onyendu ha, ndị nnupu isi a gara Damaskọs biri nʼebe ahụ, na-achịkwa nʼebe ahụ.
He got some men together and made himself captain of a band of outlaws; and went to Damascus and became king there.
25 Ogologo ụbọchị niile nke ndụ Solomọn, Rezon bụ onye iro Izrel, tinyekwara nsogbu nke Hadad wetaara Izrel. Rezon bụ eze ndị Aram, bụrụkwa onye na-emegide Izrel.
He was a trouble to Israel all through the days of Solomon. And this is the damage Hadad did: he was cruel to Israel while he was ruler over Edom.
26 Jeroboam nwa Nebat, onye Ifrem nke Zereda, otu nʼime ndị ozi Solomọn, biliri megide eze. Nne ya bụ Zerua, nwanyị di ya nwụrụ anwụ.
And there was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was Zeruah, a widow; and his hand was lifted up against the king.
27 Nke a bụ akụkọ banyere otu o siri bilie imegide eze: Solomọn wugharịrị Milo, wuziekwa ntipu dị na mgbidi obodo Devid bụ nna ya.
The way in which his hand came to be lifted up against the king was this: Solomon was building the Millo and making good the damaged parts of the town of his father David;
28 Ugbu a Jeroboam, nʼonwe ya, bụ dimkpa. Mgbe Solomọn hụrụ otu nwokorobịa a si arụzi ọrụ ya nke ọma, o mere ya onye nlekọta ndị ọrụ niile si nʼezinaụlọ Josef.
And Jeroboam was an able and responsible man; and Solomon saw that he was a good worker and made him overseer of all the work given to the sons of Joseph.
29 Ma otu ụbọchị, mgbe Jeroboam si Jerusalem na-apụ, o zutere Ahija onye amụma, onye Shilo, nʼụzọ, ebe o yi uwe ọhụrụ. Ọ bụkwa naanị ha abụọ nọ nʼọhịa mgbe ahụ.
Now at that time, when Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite came across him on the road; now Ahijah had put on a new robe; and the two of them were by themselves in the open country.
30 Mgbe ahụ, Ahija yipụrụ uwe ọhụrụ nke o yi nʼahụ dọwasịa ya ụzọ iri na abụọ.
And Ahijah took his new robe in his hands, parting it violently into twelve.
31 Mgbe ahụ, ọ gwara Jeroboam sị, “Chịrị iberibe iri nye onwe gị, nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel sịrị, ‘Lee, aga m anapụ Solomọn alaeze a, ma aga m enyekwa gị ebo iri nʼime ha.
And he said to Jeroboam, Take ten of the parts, for this is what the Lord has said: See, I will take the kingdom away from Solomon by force, and will give ten tribes to you;
32 Ma aga m ahapụrụ ya otu ebo, nʼihi ohu m Devid na nʼihi Jerusalem obodo m họpụtara site nʼebo niile nke Izrel.
(But one tribe will be his, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town which, out of all the tribes of Israel, I have made mine, )
33 Nʼihi na ha ahapụla m malite ịkpọ isiala nye Ashtọret, chi nwanyị ndị Saịdọn; na nyekwa Kemosh, chi ndị Moab; na nye Molek, chi ụmụ Amọn. Ha agbasoghị ụzọ m, ha emekwaghị ihe ndị ahụ m gụrụ dịka ezi ihe. Ha edebeghị iwu m na ụkpụrụ m niile dịka Devid nna Solomọn mere.
Because they are turned away from me to the worship of Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the Ammonites; they have not been walking in my ways or doing what is right in my eyes or keeping my laws and my decisions as his father David did.
34 “‘Ma agaghị m anapụ alaeze ya ugbu a, nʼihi ohu m Devid, onye m họpụtara, na onye mere ihe tọrọ m ụtọ. Aga m ahapụ Solomọn ka ọ nọgide dịka eze ụbọchị ndụ ya niile.
But I will not take the kingdom from him; I will let him be king all the days of his life, because of David my servant, in whom I took delight because he kept my orders and my laws.
35 Ma aga m anapụ alaeze ya site nʼaka nwa ya, nye gị ebo iri.
But I will take the kingdom from his son, and give it to you.
36 Nwa ya ka m ga-enye otu ebo, nʼihi na achọrọ m ka Devid ohu m nọgide ịbụ eze Jerusalem, obodo m họpụtara nye onwe m, ebe m mere ka Aha m dịrị.
And one tribe I will give to his son, so that David my servant may have a light for ever burning before me in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine to put my name there.
37 Ma otu ọ dị, gị ka m ga-ewere. Ị ga-abụkwa onye ga-achị ebe ahụ niile obi gị chọrọ; i ga-abụ eze Izrel.
And you I will take, and you will be king over Israel, ruling over whatever is the desire of your soul.
38 Ọ bụrụ na i gee ntị mee ihe niile m ga-enye gị nʼiwu, jekwa ije nʼirubere m isi, mee ihe ziri ezi nʼanya m, site nʼidebe ụkpụrụ niile na iwu niile, dịka ohu m Devid mere, aga m anọnyere gị. Aga m ewuru gị ụlọ ga-adịgide dịka m siri wuoro Devid. Aga m enyekwa gị Izrel.
And if you give attention to the orders I give you, walking in my ways and doing what is right in my eyes and keeping my laws and my orders as David my servant did; then I will be with you, building up for you a safe house, as I did for David, and I will give Israel to you.
39 Aga m eweda agbụrụ Devid nʼihi ihe a, ma ha agaghị abụ ndị e wedara nʼala ruo ebighị ebi.’”
(So that I may send trouble for this on the seed of David, but not for ever.)
40 Solomọn gbalịrị igbu Jeroboam, ma Jeroboam gbaara ọsọ gbakwuru eze Shishak nke Ijipt. Ọ nọkwara nʼIjipt ruo mgbe Solomọn nwụrụ.
And Solomon was looking for a chance to put Jeroboam to death; but he went in flight to Egypt, to Shishak, king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till the death of Solomon.
41 Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ mere nʼoge ọchịchị Solomọn, nke bụ, ihe niile o mere na amamihe o gosipụtara, ọ bụ na-edeghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ nke Solomọn?
Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all he did, and his wisdom, are they not recorded in the book of the acts of Solomon?
42 Solomọn chịrị Izrel niile iri afọ anọ na Jerusalem.
And the time Solomon was king in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
43 O sooro nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼobodo Devid bụ nna ya. Rehoboam nwa ya, ghọkwara eze nʼọnọdụ nna ya.
And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Solomon went to rest with his fathers and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.
