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.
And king Solomon loved many strange women besides the daughter of Pharao, and women of Moab, and of Ammon, and of Edom, and of Sidon, and of the Hethites:
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.
Of the nations concerning which the Lord said to the children of Israel: You shall not go in unto them, neither shall any of them come in to yours: for they will most certainly turn away your heart to follow their gods. And to these was Solomon joined with a most ardent 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.
And he had seven hundred wives as queens, and three hundred concubines: and the women turned away his heart.
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.
And when he was now old, his heart was turned away by women to follow strange gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
5 Ọ gbasoro Ashtọret, bụ chi ndị Saịdọn na Molek, bụ chi rụrụ arụ nke ndị Amọn.
But Solomon worshipped Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Moloch the idol 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 that which was net pleasing before the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, as David his father.
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 built a temple for Chamos the idol of Moab, on the hill that is over against Jerusalem, and for Moloch the idol of 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 he did in this manner for all his wives that were strangers, who burnt incense, and offered sacrifice 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 mind was turned away from the Lord the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
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 commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not follow strange gods: but he kept not the things which the Lord commanded him.
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.
The Lord therefore said to Solomon: Because thou hast done this, and hast not kept my covenant, and my precepts, which I have commanded thee, I will divide and rend thy kingdom, and will give it to thy 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.
Nevertheless in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father’s sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy 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.”
Neither will I take away the whole kingdom, but I will give one tribe to thy son for the sake of David my servant, and Jerusalem which I have chosen.
14 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị mere ka onye iro bilie megide Solomọn. Onye a bụ Hadad onye Edọm, onye sikwa nʼezinaụlọ ndị eze Edọm.
And the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Adad the Edomite 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.
For when David was in Edom, and Joab the general of the army was gone up to bury them that were slain, and had killed 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 remained there six months with all Israel, till he had slain every male in Edom, )
17 Ma Hadad, onye bụ nwantakịrị nʼoge ahụ, gbapụrụ ọsọ gbaga Ijipt, ya na ụfọdụ ndịisi ọchịchị Edọm, ndị jeere nna ya ozi.
Then Adad fled, he and certain Edomites, of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt: and Adad was then a little boy.
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 arose out of Madian, and came into Pharan, and they took men with them from Pharan, and went into Egypt to Pharao the king of Egypt: who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and assigned 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.
And Adad found great favour before Pharao, insomuch that he gave him to wife, the own sister of his wife Taphnes the queen.
20 Nwanne Tapenes mụtara ya nwa nwoke aha ya bụ Genubat, onye Tapenes zụlitere nʼụlọeze. Genubat biri nʼetiti ụmụ Fero.
And the sister of Taphnes bore him his son Genubath, and Taphnes brought him up in the house of Pharao: and Genubath dwelt with Pharao among his children.
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.
And when Adad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the general of the army was dead, he said to Pharao: Let me depart, that I may go to my own 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.”
And Pharao said to him: Why, what is wanting to thee with me, that thou seekest to go to thy own country? But he answered: Nothing: yet I beseech thee to let me go.
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.
God also raised up against him an adversary, Razon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master Adarezer the king of Soba:
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.
And he gathered men against him, and he became a captain of robbers, when David slew them of Soba: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and they made him king in Damascus.
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.
And he was an adversary to Israel, all the days of Solomon: and this is the evil of Adad, and his hatred against Israel, and he reigned in Syria.
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.
Jeroboam also the son of Nabat an Ephrathite of Sareda, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Sarua, a widow woman, lifted up his hand 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.
And this is the cause of his rebellion against him, for Solomon built Mello, and filled up the breach of the city of David his father.
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 a valiant and mighty man: and Solomon seeing him a young man ingenious and industrious, made him chief over the tributes of all the house 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.
So it came to paste at that time, that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahias the Silonite, clad with a new garment, found him in the way: and they two were alone in the held.
30 Mgbe ahụ, Ahija yipụrụ uwe ọhụrụ nke o yi nʼahụ dọwasịa ya ụzọ iri na abụọ.
And Ahias taking his new garment, wherewith he was clad, divided it into twelve parts:
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 to thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: Behold I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give thee ten tribes.
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 shall remain to him for the sake of my servant David, and Jerusalem the city, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:
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 he hath forsaken me, and hath adored Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chamos the god of Moab, and Moloch the god of the children of Ammon: and hath not walked in my ways, to do justice before me, and to keep my precepts, and judgments as did David his father.
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.
Yet I will not take away all the 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, who kept my commandments and my precepts.
35 Ma aga m anapụ alaeze ya site nʼaka nwa ya, nye gị ebo iri.
But I will take away the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give thee ten tribes:
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 to his son I will give one tribe, that there may remain a lamp for my servant David before me always in Jerusalem the city which I have chosen, that my name might be 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 I will take thee, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul desireth, and thou shalt be king over Israel.
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.
If then thou wilt hearken to all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do what is right before me, keeping my commandments and my precepts, as David my servant did: I will be with thee, and will build thee up a faithful house, as I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to thee:
39 Aga m eweda agbụrụ Devid nʼihi ihe a, ma ha agaghị abụ ndị e wedara nʼala ruo ebighị ebi.’”
And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but yet not for ever.
40 Solomọn gbalịrị igbu Jeroboam, ma Jeroboam gbaara ọsọ gbakwuru eze Shishak nke Ijipt. Ọ nọkwara nʼIjipt ruo mgbe Solomọn nwụrụ.
Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose, and fled into Egypt to Sesac the 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?
And the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom: behold they are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon.
42 Solomọn chịrị Izrel niile iri afọ anọ na Jerusalem.
And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel, were 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 slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father, and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
