Sie Tokosra 11
1 Solomon el lungse mutan sac puspis. Sayen acn se nutin tokosra Egypt, el oayapa payuk sin mutan Hit, ac mutan Moab, Ammon, Edom, ac Sidon.
King Solomon loved many foreign women. Besides Pharaoh's daughter, there were women from the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites.
2 El payuk nu selos el ne etu lah LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sin mwet Israel, ‘Kowos fah tiana apayuki nu sin mwet in mutunfacl saya, mweyen mwet ingan ac mau kifuskowosla in alu nu sin god lalos.’
They were from the nations that the Lord had warned the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, for they will undoubtedly convince you to worship their gods.” Yet Solomon because of his love for women held on to them.
3 Solomon el tuh payuk sin mutan fisrak itfoko, ac oasr pac mutan kulansap tolfoko kial. Mutan inge elos furokolla liki LEUM GOD,
He had seven hundred wives of noble birth and three hundred concubines. His wives did convince him to turn away from the Lord.
4 ac ke pacl se el matuoh, elos kifasulla nu ke alu nu sin god saya. El tia oana David, papa tumal, su arulana inse pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD lal.
As Solomon grew old, his wives led him to follow other gods, and he did not commit himself wholeheartedly to the Lord as his father David had done.
5 Solomon el tuh alu nu sin Astarte, god mutan lun Sidon, oayapa nu sin Molech, god na srungayuk se lun mwet Ammon.
Solomon worshiped Ashtoreth, goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech, vile god of the Ammonites.
6 El oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, ac tiana inse pwaye nu sel, in oana inse pwaye lal David, papa tumal.
This was how Solomon did evil in the Lord's sight, and was not completely dedicated to the Lord as his father David was.
7 El musaela sie acn in alu nu sel Chemosh (god na srungayuk se lun mwet Moab), ac sie pac acn in alu nu sel Molech (god na srungayuk lun mwet Ammon), fin eol soko oan kutulap in Jerusalem.
It was then that Solomon built a high place of worship for Chemosh, the vile god of the people of Moab, and for Molech, the vile god of the Ammonites, on a hill east of Jerusalem.
8 El oayapa musaela nien alu puspis nu sin mutan sac nukewa kial, tuh elos in ku in akosak mwe keng ac orek kisa nu sin god lalos we.
He built places of worship for all his foreign wives where they burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9 Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sel Solomon, mweyen insial tuh forla liki LEUM GOD lun Israel, su sikyang nu sel pacl luo
The Lord became angry with Solomon because he had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.
10 ac fahk nu sel ke ouiya se inge mu elan tia alu nu sin god saya. A Solomon el tia akos ma LEUM GOD El sapkin nu sel.
The Lord had warned Solomon about this—that he should not worship other gods. But Solomon did not listen to the Lord's warning.
11 Ke ma inge LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Ke sripen kom sifacna sulela tuh kom in kunausla wulela lom yuruk, ac kom tia akos ma nga sapkin nu sum, nga wuleot nu sum inge lah nga ac eisla tokosrai liki kom ac sang nu sin sie sin mwet pwapa fulat lom.
So the Lord told him, “Since this is what you have done, and since you have not kept my agreement and my laws that I commanded, I will definitely take the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.
12 Tusruktu, ke sripal David, papa tomom, nga ac tia oru ma inge in pacl lom, a ac fah sikyak in pacl lun wen nutum.
However, for the sake of your father David, I will not do this in your lifetime—I will take it away from your son.
13 Ac nga fah tia eisla tokosrai uh nufon lukel. Nga fah srela sie sruf tuh in ma lal ke sripal David, mwet kulansap luk, ac ke sripen Jerusalem, siti se su nga sulela tuh in acn sik.”
Even then I will not take away the whole kingdom. I will leave your son with one tribe for the sake of my servant David, and for the sake of my chosen city Jerusalem.”
14 Ouinge LEUM GOD El purakak insial Hadad, su ma in sou in leum lun acn Edom, tuh elan tuyak lainul Solomon.
Then the Lord encouraged Hadad the Edomite of Edom's royal family to oppose Solomon.
15 Mweyen ke David el muta Edom, Joab, mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun lal, el som in pikinya mwet misa ke mweun, tuh el laesla ac uniya mukul nukewa in acn Edom.
Previously, when David was in Edom, Joab the commander of the Israelite army had gone to bury some of his soldiers who had been killed, and had slaughtered every male in Edom.
16 (Joab ac mwet Israel nukewa su welul elos muta Edom ke malem onkosr, nwe ke na elos uniya nufon mukul in acn Edom.)
Joab and the whole Israelite army had spent six months there destroying them all.
17 Tusruktu Hadad ac kutu sin mwet Edom su mwet kulansap lun papa tumal ah, elos kaingla nu Egypt. (Ke pacl se ingan, Hadad el srakna tulik.)
But Hadad and some Edomites who had been his father's officials had run away to Egypt—Hadad was just a boy at the time.
18 Elos som liki acn Midian nu Paran, ac oasr kutu mwet welulosyang we. Na elos som nu Egypt nu yurin tokosra lun Egypt, su sang acn lal Hadad, ac sie lohm, ac kasrel ke mwe mongo.
They left Midian and went to Paran. Then, along with some people from Paran, they went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt. He provided Hadad with a house and food, and also assigned him land as a gift.
19 Hadad el arulana ohi sin tokosra sac, pwanang tokosra el sang tamtael se wien Kasra Tahpenes, mutan kial ah, tuh in mutan kial Hadad.
Pharaoh became very friendly with Hadad, and he gave him the sister of his own wife to marry, Queen Tahpenes' sister.
20 Mutan sac el oswela sie wen nu sel Hadad, inel pa Genubath, ac kasra el tufahlla wi tulik mukul nutin tokosra ke inkul fulat sin tokosra.
She gave birth to his son called Genubath. Tahpenes brought him up in Pharaoh's palace with Pharaoh's own children.
21 Ke Hadad el lohngak in acn Egypt lah Tokosra David ac Joab, mwet kol fulat lun un mwet mweun, eltal misa, na el fahk nu sin tokosra Egypt, “Nunak munas, filiyula nga in folokla nu yen sik ah.”
However, when news reached Hadad in Egypt that both David and Joab, the commander of the army, had died, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me leave and return to my own country.”
22 Na tokosra el siyuk sel, “Efu? Ya oasr ma nga sufalla kac ac tia sot nu sum, pa sis kom lungse folokla nu yen sum ah?” Na Hadad el topuk nu sel tokosra, “Wangin, tuh nga siyuk kom in filiyula ngan som.” Na el folokla nu yen sel.
Pharaoh asked him, “Is there anything that you have lacked here with me that now you want to go back to your own country?” “No, there's nothing,” Hadad replied, “but please just let me go home.”
23 God El oayapa oru Rezon, wen natul Eliada, elan forla lainul Solomon. Rezon el sie mwet kulansap lal Tokosra Hadadezer lun Zobah, na el kaingla lukel.
God also encouraged Rezon, son of Eliada, to oppose Solomon. He had run away from his master Hadadezer, king of Zobah. After David had destroyed Zobah's army,
24 Tok el ekla sifen sie un mwet pwapa sulal. (Ma inge sikyak tukun pacl se David el kutangulla Hadadezer, ac uniya mwet mweun lun acn Syria, su welul lac.) Toko, Rezon ac u se lal ah som muta Damascus, na mwet welul ingan elos akwalyalak tuh elan tokosra lun Syria.
Rezon gathered around him a rebel band, and became their leader. They went and settled in Damascus, where they took over.
25 El mwet lokoalok se lun mwet Israel ke lusenna moul lal Solomon, oana Hadad ke el tuh arulana lain mwet Israel ac kwaselos ke pacl se el tuh tokosra lun acn Edom.
Rezon was Israel's enemy throughout Solomon's lifetime which added to the trouble Hadad caused. Rezon really hated Israel, and was the ruler of Aram.
26 Sie pac sin mwet ma forla lainul Tokosra Solomon pa Jeroboam, wen natul Nebat mwet Zeredah in acn Ephraim. Jeroboam el siena sin mwet pwapa fulat lal Solomon. Nina kial pa Zeruah, katinmas se.
In addition, Jeroboam, son of Nebat, rebelled against the king. One of Solomon's officials, he was an Ephraimite from Zeredah. His mother was a widow called Zeruah.
27 Pa inge sramsram ke alein se inge: Solomon el tuh koano layen kutulap in acn Jerusalem, ac akwoye acn musalla ke pot uh.
This is why he rebelled against the king: Solomon had built the terraces and had closed the gap in the wall of the city of his father David.
28 Jeroboam el mukul fusr na fas se, ac ke Solomon el liye lah el arulana alken ke orekma, el sulella tuh elan karingin orekma nukewa lun mwet ma el kumakin nu ke orekma lal in acn lun sruf Manasseh ac Ephraim.
Jeroboam was a man of ability, and when Solomon realized how successful he was in what he did, he placed him command of all the forced labor of the tribes of Joseph.
29 Sie len ah ke Jeroboam el mukena fahsr liki acn Jerusalem, Ahijah, mwet palu Shiloh, el sonol inkanek ah yen mwesis likin siti uh.
Around that time the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met Jeroboam on the road as he was leaving Jerusalem.
30 Ahijah el sarukla nuknuk lik na oa ac sasu se el nukum, ac seseya nu ke ip singoul luo.
Ahijah had wrapped himself in a new cloak, and the two of them were by themselves in the countryside. Ahijah took the new cloak he was wearing and ripped it up into twelve pieces.
31 Ac el fahk nu sel Jeroboam, “Eis singoul ip kac in ma lom, mweyen LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk nu sum mu, ‘Nga ac eisla tokosrai lukel Solomon, ac nga fah sot nu sum singoul sruf uh.
He said, “Jeroboam, take ten pieces. This is what the Lord God of Israel says. ‘Jeroboam, I am the Lord, the God of Israel, and I am going to take Solomon's kingdom from him and give you ten of the tribes.
32 Solomon el ac fah sruokyana sie sruf ke sripal David, mwet kulansap luk, ac ke sripen Jerusalem, siti se su nga sulela inmasrlon facl Israel nufon tuh in ma luk.
One tribe will be left for the sake of my servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I chose from among all the tribes of Israel.
33 Nga ac oru ma inge mweyen Solomon el sisyula, ac alu nu sin god inge lun mutunfacl saya: Astarte (god mutan lun acn Sidon), Chemosh (god lun acn Moab), ac Molech (god lun acn Ammon). Solomon el tia akosyu. El tia oana David, papa tumal, a el oru ma sutuu ac tia karinganang ma sap luk ac oakwuk luk.
This is because they have abandoned me and bowed down in worship of Ashtoreth, goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh, god of the Moabites, and Molech, god of the Ammonites. They have not followed my ways; they have not done what is right in my sight; they have not kept my commandments and laws as David, Solomon's father, did.
34 Tusruktu, nga ac fah tia eisla nufon tokosrai uh lukel Solomon, a nga fah sang tuh elan leum ke lusenna moul lal. Nga ac fah oru ouinge ke sripen mwet kulansap luk David, su nga tuh sulela ac el tuh akos ma sap luk ac oakwuk luk.
Even so, I'm not going to take the whole kingdom from Solomon, because I made him ruler for his lifetime for the sake of my servant David. I chose him because he kept my commandments and laws.
35 Nga ac eisla tokosrai liki wen natul Solomon, ac sot sruf singoul nu sum,
But I will take from his son's kingdom ten tribes and give them to you.
36 tusruktu nga ac sang sie sruf uh nu sin sie wen natul Solomon, tuh sie sin fita lal David, mwet kulansap luk, fah leumi acn Jerusalem nwe tok — siti se su nga sulela tuh mwet uh in alu nu sik we.
I will give his son one tribe, so that my servant David will always have a descendant like a lamp before me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to be honored.
37 Jeroboam, nga ac oru tuh kom fah tokosra lun Israel, ac kom ac fah leum fin acn nukewa kom lungse.
I will take you, and you shall reign over everything that you want. You will be king over Israel.
38 Kom fin akosyu in ma nukewa, ac moul fal nu ke ma sap luk, ac akinsewowoyeyu ke kom oru ma nga sapkin, oana ke mwet kulansap luk David el oru, na nga ac fah wi kom pacl nukewa. Nga fah akwalyekomyak tuh kom in tokosra lun Israel, ac wen nutum elos fah tokosra tukum, oana nga tuh oru nu sel David.
If you accept everything that I command you, if you follow my ways, if you do what is right in my sight, keeping my laws and commandments as my servant David did, then I will be with you. I will set up for you a dynasty that lasts, just as I did for David, and I will give Israel to you.
39 Ke sripen ma koluk lal Solomon, nga fah kalyei mwet in fwil natul David, tusruktu ac fah tia nwe tok.’”
I will punish David's descendants because of this, but not forever.”
40 Ouinge Solomon el srike in unilya Jeroboam, a Jeroboam el kaingla nu yorol Tokosra Shishak lun Egypt, ac el muta we nwe ke Solomon el misa.
So Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam ran away to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt. He remained there until Solomon's death.
41 Ma nukewa saya ma Solomon el orala, ke orekma lal ac lalmwetmet lal, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Kacl Solomon].
The record of the rest of the acts of Solomon, including everything he did, and his wisdom, are written in the Book of the Acts of Solomon.
42 El muta Jerusalem ac tokosra fin acn Israel nufon ke yac angngaul.
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all of Israel for a total of forty years.
43 El misa ac pukpuki in Siti sel David, na Rehoboam, wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
Solomon died and was buried in the city of his father David. His son Rehoboam succeeded him as king.
