1 Mpanjaka 11

1 Fa Solomona mpanjaka tia vehivavy maro hafa firenena, fa tsy ilay zanakavavin’ i Farao ihany, dia vehivavy Moabita sy Amonita sy Edomita sy Sidoniana ary Hetita,

King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh—women of Moab, Ammon, Edom, and Sidon, as well as Hittite women.

2 dia vehivavy avy amin’ ny firenena izay nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Tsy hanambady azy ianareo, ary izy tsy hanambady anareo, fa hampivily ny fonareo hanaraka ny andriamaniny tokoa izy; kanjo tamin’ ireo no niraiketan’ ny fitiavan’ i Solomona.

These women were from the nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, for surely they will turn your hearts after their gods.” Yet Solomon clung to these women in love.

3 Ary dia nanana vady andriambavy fiton-jato sy vaditsindrano telonjato izy, ka nampivily ny fony ireo vadiny ireo.

He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines—and his wives turned his heart away.

4 Fa nony efa antitra Solomona, dia navilin’ ny vadiny ny fony hanaraka andriamani-kafa, ka ny fony tsy mba nahitsy tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny tahaka ny fon’ i Davida rainy.

For when Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and he was not wholeheartedly devoted to the LORD his God, as his father David had been.

5 Fa Solomona nanaraka an’ i Astarta, andriamani-bavin’ ny Sidoniana, sy Milkoma, fahavetavetan’ ny Amonita.

Solomon followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

6 Ary Solomona nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah, ka tsy mba tanteraka tamin’ ny fanarahana Azy tahaka an’ i Davida rainy.

So Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD; unlike his father David, he did not follow the LORD completely.

7 Ary tamin’ izany Solomona dia nanao fitoerana avo ho an’ i Kemosy, fahavetavetan’ i Moaba, teo amin’ ny havoana tandrifin’ i Jerosalema, ary ho an’ i Moloka, fahavetavetan’ ny taranak’ i Amona.

At that time on a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab and for Molech the abomination of the Ammonites.

8 Ary toy izany koa no nataony ho an’ izay vadiny hafa firenena rehetra, izay nandoro ditin-kazo manitra sy namono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ ny andriamaniny.

He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

9 Ary Jehovah tezitra tamin’ i Solomona noho ny nivilian’ ny fony niala tamin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izay efa niseho taminy indroa

Now the LORD grew angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.

10 sady efa nandidy azy ny amin’ izany zavatra izany tsy hanaraka andriamani-kafa; nefa tsy nitandrina izay nandidian’ i Jehovah izy.

Although He had warned Solomon explicitly not to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD’s command.

11 Ka dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Solomona: Satria efa tonga ao am-ponao izao, ka tsy notandremanao ny fanekeko sy ny didiko izay nandidiako anao, dia hendahako ho afaka aminao tokoa ny fanjakana ka homeko ny mpanomponao.

Then the LORD said to Solomon, “Because you have done this and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.

12 Kanefa kosa tsy hataoko amin’ ny andronao izany noho ny amin’ i Davida rainao; fa rehefa mby amin’ ny zanakao vao hendahako aminy.

Nevertheless, for the sake of your father David, I will not do it during your lifetime; I will tear it out of the hand of your son.

13 Nefa tsy dia hendahako avokoa ny fanjakana rehetra, fa mba homeko firenena iray ihany ny zanakao noho ny amin’ i Davida mpanompoko sy Jerosalema izay nofidiko.

Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom away from him. I will give one tribe to your son for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”

14 Ary Jehovah nanangana fahavalo hanohitra an’ i Solomona, dia Hadada Edomita, tamingan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma.

Then the LORD raised up against Solomon an adversary, Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom.

15 Fa rehefa nanafika an’ i Edoma Davida, ary Joaba, komandin’ ny miaramila, niakatra handevina ny maty ary efa namono ny lehilahy rehetra tany

Earlier, when David was in Edom, Joab the commander of the army had gone to bury the dead and had struck down every male in Edom.

16 (fa enim-bolana no nitoeran’ i Joaba sy ny Isiraely rehetra tany Edoma mandra-pandringany ny lehilahy rehetra tany),

Joab and all Israel had stayed there six months, until he had killed every male in Edom.

17 dia nandositra Hadada sy ny Edomita, sasany mpanompon-drainy izay nanaraka azy ka nankany Egypta; fa mbola zazalahy kely Hadada tamin’ izay.

But Hadad, still just a young boy, had fled to Egypt, along with some Edomites who were servants of his father.

18 Ary niainga niala tany Midiana ireo ka tonga tany Parana; dia naka olona avy tany Parana homba azy izy ka nankany Egypta ho any amin’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, izay nanome azy trano sy tany sady nilaza hanome hanina azy koa.

Hadad and his men set out from Midian and went to Paran. They took men from Paran with them and went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house and land and provided him with food.

19 Ary Hadada nahita fitia fatratra teo imason’ i Farao, ka dia ny rahavavin’ i Tapanesa, vadin’ ny mpanjaka, no nomeny ho vadiny.

There Hadad found such great favor in the sight of Pharaoh that he gave to him in marriage the sister of Queen Tahpenes, his own wife.

20 Ary ny rahavavin’ i Tapanesa niteraka zazalahy tamin’ i Hadada, dia Genobata, izay notazan’ i Tapanesa tao an-tranon’ i Farao; ary Genobata niara-nitoetra tamin’ ny zanakalahin’ i Farao tao an-dapa.

And the sister of Tahpenes bore Hadad a son named Genubath. Tahpenes herself weaned him in Pharaoh’s palace, and Genubath lived there among the sons of Pharaoh.

21 Ary rehefa ren’ i Hadada tany Egypta fa Davida lasa nody mandry any amin’ ny razany, sady maty koa Joaba, komandin’ ny miaramila, dia hoy izy tamin’ i Farao: Alefaso aho hody any amin’ ny tanin-drazako.

When Hadad heard in Egypt that David had rested with his fathers and that Joab, the commander of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, “Let me go, that I may return to my own country.”

22 Fa hoy Farao taminy: Fa inona moa no zavatra mahory anao atỳ amiko, no dia mitady hody any amin’ ny tanin-drazanao indray ianao? Ary hoy ny navaliny: Tsy misy mahory ahy tsy akory; nefa alefaso ihany aho.

But Pharaoh asked him, “What have you lacked here with me that you suddenly want to go back to your own country?” “Nothing,” Hadad replied, “but please let me go.”

23 Ary Andriamanitra nanangana fahavalo koa hanohitra an’ i Solomona, dia Rezona, zanak’ i Eliada, izay efa nandositra an’ i Hadadezera tompony, mpanjakan’ i Zoba.

And God raised up against Solomon another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Hadadezer king of Zobah,

24 Dia namory olona maro ho ao aminy izy ka tonga kapiteniny tamin’ ny namonoan’ i Davida ny olona tany Zoba; ary nankany Damaskosy izy sy ny namany ka nitoetra sy nanjaka tao.

and had gathered men to himself. When David killed the Zobaites, Rezon captained a band of raiders and went to Damascus, where they settled and gained control.

25 Ary izy koa dia fahavalon’ ny Isiraely tamin’ ny andron’ i Solomona rehetra ka nanampy ny ratsy izay nataon’ i Hadada; eny, nankahala ny Isiraely izy ary nanjaka tany Syria.

Rezon was Israel’s enemy throughout the days of Solomon, adding to the trouble caused by Hadad. So Rezon ruled over Aram with hostility toward Israel.

26 Ary Jerobeama, zanak’ i Nebata, Efraimita avy any Zareda, mpanompon’ i Solomona (Zeroa no anaran-dreniny, vehivavy mpitondratena), dia nanainga tanàna hikomy tamin’ ny mpanjaka.

Now Jeroboam son of Nebat was an Ephraimite from Zeredah whose mother was a widow named Zeruah. Jeroboam was a servant of Solomon, but he rebelled against the king,

27 Ary izao no fototry ny nanaingany tanàna hikomy tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Solomona nanorina an’ i Milo ary nanampina ny lohasaha tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida rainy;

and this is the account of his rebellion against the king. Solomon had built the supporting terraces and repaired the gap in the wall of the city of his father David.

28 ary Jeroboama dia lehilahy mahay; koa nony hitan’ i Solomona fa zatovo mahavita raharaha izy, dia nataony mpifehy ny taranak’ i Josefa tamin’ ny fanompoany rehetra.

Now Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor. So when Solomon noticed that the young man was industrious, he put him in charge of the whole labor force of the house of Joseph.

29 Ary tamin’ izany andro izany, raha nivoa: ka avy tany Jerosalema Jeroboama, dia nahita azy teny an-dalana Ahia Silonita mpaminany; ary Ahia nitafy lamba vaovao, ary izy roa lahy ihany no tany an-tsaha.

During that time, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met Jeroboam on the road as he was going out of Jerusalem. Now Ahijah had wrapped himself in a new cloak, and the two of them were alone in the open field.

30 Dia noraisin’ i Ahia ny lamba vaovao-izay notafiny, ka notriatriariny ho roa ambin’ ny folo.

And Ahijah took hold of the new cloak he was wearing, tore it into twelve pieces,

31 Ary hoy izy tamin’ i Jeroboama: Raiso ho anao ny tapatapany folo; fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, Izaho efa hanendaka ny fanjakana ho afaka amin’ ny tànan’ i Solomona, ary homeko anao ny firenena folo

and said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and I will give you ten tribes.

32 (nefa ny firenena iray dia i mbola havela ho azy ihany noho ny amin’ i Davida mpamompoko sy Jerosalema, tanàna izay nofidiko tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely),

But one tribe will remain for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.

33 satria efa nahafoy Ahy izy ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ i Astarta, andriamani-bavin’ ny Sidoniana, sy Kemosy andriamanitr’ i Moaba, ary Milkoma, andriamanitry ny taranak’ i Amona, fa tsy nandeha tamin’ ny lalako hanao izay mahitsy eo imasoko sy hitandrina ny didiko sy ny fitsipiko tahaka an’ i Davida rainy.

For they have forsaken Me to worship Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the Ammonites. They have not walked in My ways, nor done what is right in My eyes, nor kept My statutes and judgments, as Solomon’s father David did.

34 Nefa tsy hesoriko eo an-tanany avokoa ny fanjakana rehetra; fa hampitoeriko ho mpanjaka ihany izy amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainany noho ny amin’ i Davida mpanompoko izay nofidiko, satria izy nitandrina ny lalàko sy ny didiko;

Nevertheless, I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon’s hand, because I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David My servant, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and statutes.

35 fa hesoriko eo an-tànan’ ny zanany kosa ny fanjakana ka homeko anao, nefa ny firenena folo ihany.

But I will take ten tribes of the kingdom from the hand of his son and give them to you.

36 Fa firenena iray no homeko ny zanany, mba hisy fanilo ho an’ i Davida mpanompoko eo anatrehako mandrakariva any Jerosalema, tanàna izay nofidiko ho Ahy hametrahana ny anarako.

I will give one tribe to his son, so that My servant David will always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put My Name.

37 Ary ianao no halaiko, ka hanjaka amin’ izay rehetra irin’ ny fanahinao ary ho mpanjaka amin’ ny Isiraely.

But as for you, I will take you, and you shall reign over all that your heart desires, and you will be king over Israel.

38 Ary raha mihaino izay rehetra andidiako anao ianao ka mandeha amin’ ny lalako ary manao izay mahitsy eo imasoko ka mitandrina ny didiko sy ny lalàko tahaka izay nataon’ i Davida mpanompoko, dia ho aminao Aho ka hampaharitra ny taranakao, tahaka izay nataoko ho an’ i Davida, ary homeko anao ny Isiraely.

If you listen to all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight in order to keep My statutes and commandments as My servant David did, then I will be with you. I will build you a lasting dynasty just as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.

39 Ary hampietry ny taranak’ i Davida kosa Aho noho izany, nefa tsy ho mandrakizay.

Because of this, I will humble David’s descendants—but not forever.’”

40 Ary Solomona nitady hamono an’ i Jeroboama. Fa Jeroboama niainga, dia nandositra nankany Egypta ho any amin’ i Sisaka, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, ka nitoetra tany mandra-pahafatin’ i Solomona.

Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, where he remained until the death of Solomon.

41 Ary ny tantaran’ i Solomona sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony ary ny fahendreny, tsy voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ i Solomona va izany?

As for the rest of the acts of Solomon—all that he did, as well as his wisdom—are they not written in the Book of the Acts of Solomon?

42 Ary ny andro nanjakan’ i Solomona tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra tany Jerosalema dia efa-polo taona.

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

43 Ary Solomona lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida rainy izy; ary Rehoboama zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

And Solomon rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of his father David. And his son Rehoboam reigned in his place.
