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 loved many foreign women. Besides Pharaoh's daughter, there were women from the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites.
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.
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 Ary dia nanana vady andriambavy fiton-jato sy vaditsindrano telonjato izy, ka nampivily ny fony ireo vadiny ireo.
He had seven hundred wives of noble birth and three hundred concubines. His wives did convince him to turn away from the Lord.
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.
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 Fa Solomona nanaraka an’ i Astarta, andriamani-bavin’ ny Sidoniana, sy Milkoma, fahavetavetan’ ny Amonita.
Solomon worshiped Ashtoreth, goddess of the Sidonians, and Molech, vile god 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.
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 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.
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 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 built places of worship for all his foreign wives where they 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
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 sady efa nandidy azy ny amin’ izany zavatra izany tsy hanaraka andriamani-kafa; nefa tsy nitandrina izay nandidian’ i Jehovah izy.
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 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.
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 Kanefa kosa tsy hataoko amin’ ny andronao izany noho ny amin’ i Davida rainao; fa rehefa mby amin’ ny zanakao vao hendahako aminy.
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 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.
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 Ary Jehovah nanangana fahavalo hanohitra an’ i Solomona, dia Hadada Edomita, tamingan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma.
Then the Lord encouraged Hadad the Edomite of Edom's royal family to oppose Solomon.
15 Fa rehefa nanafika an’ i Edoma Davida, ary Joaba, komandin’ ny miaramila, niakatra handevina ny maty ary efa namono ny lehilahy rehetra tany
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 (fa enim-bolana no nitoeran’ i Joaba sy ny Isiraely rehetra tany Edoma mandra-pandringany ny lehilahy rehetra tany),
Joab and the whole Israelite army had spent six months there destroying them all.
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 and some Edomites who had been his father's officials had run away to Egypt—Hadad was just a boy at the time.
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.
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 Ary Hadada nahita fitia fatratra teo imason’ i Farao, ka dia ny rahavavin’ i Tapanesa, vadin’ ny mpanjaka, no nomeny ho vadiny.
Pharaoh became very friendly with Hadad, and he gave him the sister of his own wife to marry, Queen Tahpenes' sister.
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.
She gave birth to his son called Genubath. Tahpenes brought him up in Pharaoh's palace with Pharaoh's own children.
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.
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 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.
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 Ary Andriamanitra nanangana fahavalo koa hanohitra an’ i Solomona, dia Rezona, zanak’ i Eliada, izay efa nandositra an’ i Hadadezera tompony, mpanjakan’ i Zoba.
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 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.
Rezon gathered around him a rebel band, and became their leader. They went and settled in Damascus, where they took over.
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 Solomon's lifetime which added to the trouble Hadad caused. Rezon really hated Israel, and was the ruler of Aram.
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.
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 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;
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 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.
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 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.
Around that time the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met Jeroboam on the road as he was leaving Jerusalem.
30 Dia noraisin’ i Ahia ny lamba vaovao-izay notafiny, ka notriatriariny ho roa ambin’ ny folo.
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 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
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 (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),
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 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.
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 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;
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 fa hesoriko eo an-tànan’ ny zanany kosa ny fanjakana ka homeko anao, nefa ny firenena folo ihany.
But I will take from his son's kingdom ten tribes 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 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 Ary ianao no halaiko, ka hanjaka amin’ izay rehetra irin’ ny fanahinao ary ho mpanjaka amin’ ny Isiraely.
I will take you, and you shall reign over everything that you want. 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 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 Ary hampietry ny taranak’ i Davida kosa Aho noho izany, nefa tsy ho mandrakizay.
I will punish David's descendants because of this, 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.
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 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?
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 Ary ny andro nanjakan’ i Solomona tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra tany Jerosalema dia efa-polo taona.
Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all of Israel for a total of 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.
Solomon died and was buried in the city of his father David. His son Rehoboam succeeded him as king.
