1 Bakonzi 11

1 Mokonzi Salomo abalaki mwana mwasi ya Faraon; kasi pembeni na ye, abalaki basi mosusu ebele ya bikolo ya bapaya: basi ya Moabi, ya Amoni, ya Edomi, ya Sidoni mpe ya Iti.

Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites,

2 Basi yango bawutaki na bikolo oyo, na tina na bango, Yawe alobaki na bana ya Isalaele: « Bosengeli te kobalana na bango, noki te bakopengwisa bino mpe bakotindika mitema na bino na kosambela banzambe na bango. » Nzokande, Salomo akangamaki na basi ya bikolo ya bapaya na bolingo makasi.

of the nations concerning which Jehovah said to the sons of Israel, Ye shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods. Solomon clave to these in love.

3 Azalaki na basi nkama sambo oyo bazalaki bana ya bakonzi, mpe bamakangu nkama misato. Boye, basi na ye nyonso bapengwisaki ye.

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. And his wives turned away his heart.

4 Tango Salomo akomaki mobange, basi na ye batindikaki motema na ye na kogumbamela banzambe mosusu; mpe atikaki kolinga Yawe, Nzambe na ye, na motema na ye mobimba ndenge ezalaki motema ya Davidi, tata na ye.

For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods. And his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God as was the heart of David his father.

5 Salomo akomaki kosambela ekeko ya Asitarite, nzambe mwasi ya bato ya Sidoni; Moloki, nzambe ya mbindo ya bato ya Amoni.

For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

6 Boye, Salomo asalaki penza makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe mpe atambolaki na boyengebene te liboso ya Yawe ndenge Davidi, tata na ye, atambolaki.

And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and went not fully after Jehovah as did David his father.

7 Na ngomba oyo etalani na Yelusalemi, Salomo atongaki esambelo ya likolo ya ngomba mpo na Kemoshi, nzambe ya mbindo ya Moabi; mpe mpo na Moloki, nzambe ya mbindo ya bato ya Amoni.

Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab on the mount that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the sons of Ammon.

8 Asalaki mpe bongo mpo na banzambe ya basi na ye nyonso ya bikolo ya bapaya mpo ete batumbelaka yango malasi mpe babonzelaka yango mbeka.

And so he did for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.

9 Yawe atombokelaki Salomo mpo ete motema na ye epengwaki mosika na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, oyo amimonisaki epai na ye mbala mibale.

And Jehovah was angry with Solomon because his heart was turned away from Jehovah, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

10 Nzokande, Yawe apekisaki Salomo kosambela banzambe mosusu; kasi Salomo atosaki te mitindo ya Yawe.

and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods. But he did not keep that which Jehovah commanded.

11 Boye, Yawe alobaki na Salomo: « Lokola oponi kotambola bongo mpe obateli te boyokani na Ngai mpe mitindo oyo napesaki yo, nakobotola yo bokonzi mpe nakopesa yango na moko kati na basali na yo.

Therefore Jehovah said to Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done by thee, and thou have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.

12 Nzokande, mpo na Davidi, tata na yo, nakosala yango te na tango oyo ozali nanu na bomoi; nakobotola yango nde na maboko ya mwana na yo ya mobali.

Notwithstanding I will not do it in thy days, for David thy father's sake, but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

13 Kasi nakobotola ye bokonzi nyonso te; nakotikela ye etuka moko mpo na Davidi, mowumbu na Ngai, mpe mpo na Yelusalemi, engumba oyo napona. »

However I will not rend away all the kingdom, but I will give one tribe to thy son, for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

14 Yawe abimisaki monguna moko mpo na kobundisa Salomo: Adadi, moto ya Edomi, mwana kati na libota ya bokonzi ya Edomi.

And Jehovah raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite. He was of the king's seed in Edom.

15 Na kala, na tango oyo Davidi abundisaki mokili ya Edomi, Joabi mokonzi ya mampinga, oyo akendeki mpo na kokunda bibembe, abomaki mibali nyonso ya Edomi.

For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army was gone up to bury the slain, and had smitten every male in Edom

16 Joabi mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele batikalaki kuna basanza motoba kino tango basilisaki koboma mibali nyonso ya Edomi.

(for Joab and all Israel remained there six months until he had cut off every male in Edom),

17 Kasi Adadi oyo azalaki nanu elenge na tango wana akimaki na Ejipito elongo na ndambo ya bato ya Edomi oyo bazalaki basali ya tata na ye.

that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt, Hadad being yet a little child.

18 Balongwaki na Madiani mpe bakendeki na Parani. Wuta na Parani, bazwaki bato mpe bakendeki elongo na bango na Ejipito epai ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito. Faraon apesaki Adadi ndako, eteni ya mabele mpe bilei.

And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran. And they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him provisions, and gave him land.

19 Lokola Faraon asepelaki na Adadi mingi, abalisaki ye semeki na ye ya mwasi, ndeko mwasi ya Takipenesi, mwasi ya mokonzi.

And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

20 Ndeko mwasi ya Takipenesi abotelaki Adadi mwana moko ya mobali mpe apesaki ye kombo « Genubati. » Takipenesi abokolaki ye kati na ndako ya Faraon. Genubati avandaki kuna elongo na bana ya Faraon.

And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house. And Genubath was in Pharaoh's house among the sons of Pharaoh.

21 Wana Adadi azalaki na Ejipito, ayokaki ete Davidi mpe Joabi, mokonzi ya mampinga, bakufi. Boye, Adadi alobaki na Faraon: — Pesa ngai nzela ete nazonga na mokili na ngai.

And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart that I may go to my own country.

22 Faraon atunaki ye: — Ozangi eloko nini awa mpo ete oluka kozonga na mokili na yo? Adadi azongisaki: — Eloko moko te. Kasi tika ngai ete nakende kaka.

Then Pharaoh said to him, But what have thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seek to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing, however only let me depart.

23 Nzambe abimisaki monguna mosusu mpo na kobundisa Salomo; kombo na ye: Rezoni. Rezoni Azalaki mwana mobali ya Eliyada, oyo akimaki nkolo na ye, Adadezeri, mokonzi ya Tsoba.

And God raised up another adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.

24 Rezoni asangisaki mibali pene na ye mpe akomaki mokambi ya lisanga ya batomboki tango Davidi abomaki mampinga ya Tsoba. Bongo batomboki bakendeki na Damasi epai wapi bavandaki mpe bakomaki kokonza.

And he gathered men to him, and became captain over a troop when David killed them of Zobah. And they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.

25 Rezoni azalaki monguna ya Isalaele na tango nyonso oyo Salomo azalaki na bokonzi. Wana Adadi azalaki kotia Isalaele mobulu, Rezoni akomaki mokonzi ya Siri mpe akomaki kokanela Isalaele.

And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief that Hadad did. And he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

26 Jeroboami, mwana mobali ya Nebati, moto ya Efrayimi ya Tsereda, moko kati na basali ya Salomo, atombokelaki mokonzi. Mama na ye azalaki mwasi akufisa mobali, mpe kombo na ye: Tseruya.

And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, he also lifted up his hand against the king.

27 Tala ndenge atombokelaki mokonzi: na tango oyo Salomo azalaki kotonga Milo mpe kokanga madusu ya mir ya engumba ya Davidi, tata na ye,

And this was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of the city of David his father.

28 Jeroboami azalaki elenge mobali ya makasi mpe ya mpiko; lokola Salomo amonaki ndenge elenge mobali oyo azalaki kosala mosala na ye malamu, atiaki ye motambolisi misala nyonso ya makasi mpo na libota ya Jozefi.

And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor. And Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he gave him charge over all the labor of the house of Joseph.

29 Mokolo moko, wana Jeroboami azalaki kobima na Yelusalemi, Ayiya, mosakoli ya Silo, akutanaki na ye na nzela mpe alataki kazaka ya sika. Bazalaki kaka bango mibale na libanda ya mboka, kati na esobe.

And it came to pass at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way. Now Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment, and the two were alone in the field.

30 Ayiya azwaki kazaka na ye ya sika oyo alataki, akataki yango na biteni zomi na mibale

And Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it in twelve pieces.

31 mpe alobaki na Jeroboami: « Kamata biteni zomi mpo na yo, pamba te tala makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Nakobotola bokonzi na maboko ya Salomo mpe nakopesa yo bikolo zomi.

And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces, for thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee

32 Kasi mpo na Davidi, mowumbu na Ngai, mpe mpo na engumba Yelusalemi oyo napona kati na mabota nyonso ya Isalaele, Salomo akozwa kaka libota moko.

(but he shall have one tribe, for my servant David's sake and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel),

33 Nakosala bongo, pamba te basundolaki Ngai mpe bagumbamelaki Asitarite, nzambe mwasi ya bato ya Sidoni; Kemoshi, nzambe ya bato ya Moabi; mpe Moloki, nzambe ya bato ya Amoni, batambolaki te na banzela na Ngai mpo na kosala makambo ya sembo na miso na Ngai, kobatela malako mpe mibeko na Ngai, ndenge Davidi, tata ya Salomo, asalaki.

because that they have forsaken me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the sons of Ammon. And they have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances as David his father did.

34 Kasi nakobotola te bokonzi nyonso na maboko ya Salomo, nakotika ye nanu kokonza na mikolo nyonso oyo akozala na bomoi, mpo na Davidi, mowumbu na Ngai, oyo naponaki mpe abatelaki mitindo mpe malako na Ngai.

However I will not take the whole 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 statutes.

35 Kasi nakobotola bokonzi na maboko ya mwana na ye ya mobali mpe nakopesa yo mabota zomi.

But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it to thee, even ten tribes.

36 Nakopesa libota moko epai ya mwana na ye ya mobali mpo ete Davidi, mowumbu na Ngai, azala tango nyonso na mokitani liboso na Ngai kati na Yelusalemi, engumba oyo napona mpo na kotia Kombo na Ngai kati na yango.

And I will give one tribe to his son, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for me to put my name there.

37 Kasi mpo na yo, Jeroboami, nakozwa yo, mpe okokonza nyonso oyo motema na yo ekolinga mpe okozala mokonzi ya Isalaele.

And I will take thee, and thou shall reign according to all that thy soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.

38 Soki osali nyonso oyo Ngai nazali kotinda yo, soki otamboli na banzela na Ngai mpe osali makambo ya sembo na miso na Ngai, na kobatelaka mibeko mpe malako na Ngai ndenge Davidi, mowumbu na Ngai, asalaki, wana nakozala na yo elongo, nakosala ete bokonzi kati na libota na yo elendisama ndenge nasalaki epai ya Davidi, mpe nakopesa yo Isalaele.

And it shall be, if thou will hearken to all that I command thee, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did. That I will be with thee, and will build thee a sure house as I built for David, and will give Israel to thee.

39 Na bongo, nakoyokisa ndako ya Davidi soni, kasi mpo na libela te. › »

And for this I will afflict the seed of David, but not forever.

40 Salomo alukaki koboma Jeroboami, kasi Jeroboami akimaki na Ejipito epai ya Shishaki, mokonzi ya Ejipito, avandaki kuna kino na kufa ya Salomo.

Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

41 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Salomo, misala na ye nyonso mpe bwanya na ye, ekomama kati na buku ya misala ya Salomo.

Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?

42 Salomo akonzaki Isalaele mobimba mibu tuku minei, na Yelusalemi.

And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

43 Sima na yango, Salomo akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi, tata na ye. Mwana na ye, Roboami, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.

And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
