1 Kingi 11

1 Otiia he tini nga wahine ke i arohaina e Kingi Horomona, he Moapi, he Amoni, he Eromi, he Haironi, he Hiti, me te tamahine ano a Parao;

Now a number of strange women were loved by Solomon, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:

2 No nga iwi i mea ra a Ihowa ki nga tama a Iharaira, kaua e haere atu ki a ratou, kaua hoki ratou e haere mai ki a koutou: he pono ma ratou o koutou ngakau e whakaanga ke ki te whai i o ratou atua: piri tonu, aroha tonu a Horomona ki enei.

The nations of which the Lord had said to the children of Israel, You are not to take wives from them and they are not to take wives from you; or they will certainly make you go after their gods: to these Solomon was united in love.

3 Na e whitu rau ana wahine rangatira, e toru rau nga wahine iti: a whakaanga ketia ana tona ngakau e ana wahine.

He had seven hundred wives, daughters of kings, and three hundred other wives; and through his wives his heart was turned away.

4 Na, koroheke rawa ake a Horomona, kua whakaanga ketia tona ngakau e ana wahine, kua whai i nga atua ke; kihai hoki tona ngakau i tapatahi ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, kihai i rite ki te ngakau o Rawiri, o tona papa.

For it came about that when Solomon was old, his heart was turned away to other gods by his wives; and his heart was no longer true to the Lord his God as the heart of his father David had been.

5 I haere hoki a Horomona i whai i a Ahatorete atua o nga Haironi, i a Mirikomo hoki, i te mea whakarihariha a nga Amoni.

For Solomon went after Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Milcom, the disgusting god of the Ammonites.

6 Na kua he ta Horomona mahi ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kihai hoki i anga nui ki te whai i a Ihowa, kihai i pera me tona papa, me Rawiri.

And Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not walking in the Lord's ways with all his heart as David his father did.

7 Na ka hanga e Horomona he wahi tiketike mo ta Moapa mea whakarihariha, mo Kemoho, ki runga ki te maunga e anga ana ki Hiruharama; mo Moreke hoki, mo te mea whakarihariha a nga tama a Amona.

Then Solomon put up a high place for Chemosh, the disgusting god of Moab, in the mountain before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the disgusting god worshipped by the children of Ammon.

8 Pera tonu tana i mea ai mo ana wahine ke katoa, i tahu whakakakara nei, i patu whakahere hoki ki o ratou atua.

And so he did for all his strange wives, who made offerings with burning of perfumes to their gods.

9 Na ka riri a Ihowa ki a Horomona, no te mea kua anga ke tona ngakau i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira, ka rua nei ona putanga ki a ia,

And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had twice come to him in a vision;

10 Me te ako i tenei kupu ki a ia kia kaua ia e haere ki te whai i nga atua ke: otiia kihai i mau i a ia ta Ihowa i whakahau ai.

And had given him orders about this very thing, that he was not to go after other gods; but he did not keep the orders of the Lord.

11 Na reira ka mea a Ihowa ki a Horomona, I te mea ka penei tau mahi, kahore nei i mau i a koe taku kawenata me taku tikanga i akona e ahau ki a koe, ka haea rawatia atu e ahau te kingitanga i a koe, a ka hoatu ki tau tangata.

So the Lord said to Solomon, Because you have done this, and have not kept my agreement and my laws, which I gave you, I will take the kingdom away from you by force and will give it to your servant.

12 Otiia e kore tenei e meatia e ahau i ou ra, he whakaaro hoki ki tou papa, ki a Rawiri: ka haea atu ia e ahau i te ringa o tau tama.

I will not do it in your life-time, because of your father David, but I will take it from your son.

13 Otiia e kore e haea atu e ahau te kingitanga katoa; kotahi te iwi e hoatu e ahau ki tau tama, he whakaaro ki a Rawiri, ki taku pononga, ki Hiruharama i whiriwhiria nei e ahau.

Still I will not take all the kingdom from him; but I will give one tribe to your son, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town of my selection.

14 Na ka whakaarahia ake e Ihowa he hoariri mo Horomona, ko Harara Eromi: he uri ia no te kingi i Eroma.

So the Lord sent Hadad the Edomite to make trouble for Solomon: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

15 Tera, i a Rawiri i Eroma, ka haere atu a Ioapa rangatira o te ope ki te tanu i te hunga i patua, kua oti hoki nga tane katoa o Eroma te patu e ia;

And when David had sent destruction on Edom, and Joab, the captain of the army, had gone to put the dead into the earth, and had put to death every male in Edom;

16 E ono hoki nga marama i noho ai a Ioapa ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki reira, a poto noa nga tane katoa o Eroma te hautope atu;

(For Joab and all Israel were there six months till every male in Edom had been cut off; )

17 Na ka rere a Harara ratou ko etahi Eromi, he tangata na tona papa, haere ana ki Ihipa: a e nohinohi tonu ana a Harara.

Hadad, being still a young boy, went in flight to Egypt, with certain Edomites, servants of his father;

18 A ka whakatika atu ratou i Miriana, a ka tae ki Parana: na ka tangohia e ratou etahi tangata o Parana hei hoa mo ratou, a haere ana ki Ihipa ki a Parao kingi o Ihipa; a na tera i hoatu he whare mona, i whakarite he kai mana; i hoatu ano he whenu a ki a ia.

And they went on from Midian and came to Paran; and, taking men from Paran with them, they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who gave him a house and gave orders for his food and gave him land.

19 Na ka manakohia nuitia a Harara e Parao, a hoatu ana e ia hei wahine mana te teina o tana wahine ake, te teina o te Kuini, o Tahapene.

Now Hadad was very pleasing to Pharaoh, so that he gave him the sister of his wife, Tahpenes the queen, for his wife.

20 Na ka whanau he tama mana i te teina o Tahapene, ko Kenupata, a na Tahapene ano i whakamutu tana kai u i roto i te whare o Parao: na noho ana a Kenupata i te whare o Parao i roto i nga tama a Parao.

And the sister of Tahpenes had a son by him, Genubath, whom Tahpenes took care of in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was living in Pharaoh's house among Pharaoh's sons.

21 A, i te rongonga o Harara i Ihipa, kua takoto a Rawiri ki ona matua, kua mate hoki a Ioapa rangatira ope, ka mea a Harara ki a Parao, Tukua ahau kia haere ki toku whenua.

Now when Hadad had news in Egypt that David had been put to rest with his fathers, and that Joab, the captain of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, Send me back to my country.

22 Na ka mea a Parao ki a ia, I hapa koe i te aha i a koe i ahau nei, i whai ai koe kia haere ki tou whenua? Na ko tana kianga, Kahore: he ahakoa ra tukua ahau kia haere.

But Pharaoh said to him, What have you been short of while you have been with me, that you are desiring to go back to your country? And he said, Nothing; but even so, send me back.

23 I ara ano i te Atua he hoariri mona, a Retona tama a Eriara, i rere nei i tona ariki i a Hararetere kingi o Topa.

And God sent another trouble-maker, Rezon, the son of Eliada, who had gone in flight from his lord, Hadadezer, king of Zobah:

24 Na ka huihuia e ia etahi tangata, a ka meinga ia hei rangatira ropu, i te mea e patua ana ratou e Rawiri: na haere ana ratou ki Ramahiku, a noho ana i reira, a ko ratou hei kingi mo Ramahiku.

He got some men together and made himself captain of a band of outlaws; and went to Damascus and became king there.

25 A he hoariri ia ki a Iharaira i nga ra katoa o Horomona, haunga hoki ta Harara kino i mea ai: heoi whakarihariha ana ia ki a Iharaira, ko ia ano te kingi o Hiria.

He was a trouble to Israel all through the days of Solomon. And this is the damage Hadad did: he was cruel to Israel while he was ruler over Edom.

26 Me Ieropoama ano tama a Nepata, he Eparati, no Terera, he tangata na Horomona, ko te ingoa o tona whaea, ko Terua, he wahine pouaru, i ara ano tona ringa ki te kingi.

And there was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was Zeruah, a widow; and his hand was lifted up against the king.

27 A ko te take tenei i ara ai tona ringa ki te kingi: e hanga ana a Horomona i Miro, e tutaki ana i nga wahi pakaru o te pa o tona papa, o Rawiri.

The way in which his hand came to be lifted up against the king was this: Solomon was building the Millo and making good the damaged parts of the town of his father David;

28 Na he marohirohi a Ieropoama, he toa: a ka kite a Horomona i taua taitama he uaua ki te mahi, na meinga ana ia e ia hei kaitirotiro mo nga mahi katoa a te whare o Hohepa.

And Jeroboam was an able and responsible man; and Solomon saw that he was a good worker and made him overseer of all the work given to the sons of Joseph.

29 Na i taua wa ka puta a Ieropoama i Hiruharama, a ka tutaki a Ahia Hironi, te poropiti ki a ia i te ara; na kua kakahuria e Ahia he kakahu hou; a ko raua tokorua anake i te parae.

Now at that time, when Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite came across him on the road; now Ahijah had put on a new robe; and the two of them were by themselves in the open country.

30 Na ka hopukia e Ahia tona kakahu hou, haea ana kia tekau ma rua nga wahi:

And Ahijah took his new robe in his hands, parting it violently into twelve.

31 A ka mea atu ia ki a Ieropoama, kia tekau nga wahi e tangohia e koe mau: ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Nana, ka haea e ahau te kingitanga i te ringa o Horomona, a tekau nga iwi e hoatu ki a koe;

And he said to Jeroboam, Take ten of the parts, for this is what the Lord has said: See, I will take the kingdom away from Solomon by force, and will give ten tribes to you;

32 Kotahi ia te iwi mana; he whakaaro ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, he whakaaro ki Hiruharama, ki te pa i whiriwhiria e ahau i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira;

(But one tribe will be his, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town which, out of all the tribes of Israel, I have made mine, )

33 Mo ratou i whakarere i ahau, a koropiko ana ki a Ahatorete atua o nga Haironi, ki a Kemoho atua o nga Moapi, ki a Mirikomo atua o nga tama a Amona; kihai hoki i haere i aku ara, i mahi i te mea tika ki taku titiro, i pupuri hoki i aku tikanga, i aku whakaritenga, a kihai i pera me tona papa, me Rawiri.

Because they are turned away from me to the worship of Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the Ammonites; they have not been walking in my ways or doing what is right in my eyes or keeping my laws and my decisions as his father David did.

34 Otiia e kore e tangohia e ahau te kingitanga katoa i tona ringa; engari ka whakarangatira ahau i a ia i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia, he whakaaro ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, i whiriwhiria nei e ahau, mona i pupuri i aku whakahau, i aku tikanga.

But I will not take the kingdom from him; I will let him be king all the days of his life, because of David my servant, in whom I took delight because he kept my orders and my laws.

35 Engari ka tangohia e ahau te kingitanga i te ringa o tana tama, a ka hoatu ki a koe, ara tekau nga iwi.

But I will take the kingdom from his son, and give it to you.

36 Kotahi te iwi e hoatu e ahau ki tana tama, hei rama ma taku pononga, ma Rawiri ki toku aroaro i nga ra katoa ki Hiruharama, ki te pa i whiriwhiria e ahau hei waihotanga iho mo toku ingoa.

And one tribe I will give to his son, so that David my servant may have a light for ever burning before me in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine to put my name there.

37 A ka tangohia koe e ahau, a hei kingi koe, ka rite ki nga mea katoa i hiahia ai tou ngakau, a hei kingi koe mo Iharaira.

And you I will take, and you will be king over Israel, ruling over whatever is the desire of your soul.

38 Na, tenei ake, ki te rongo koe i nga mea katoa e whakahau ai ahau ki a koe, a ka haere i aku ara, ka mahi i te mea e tika ana ki taku titiro, ka pupuri i aku tikanga, i aku whakahau, ka pera me ta taku pononga, me ta Rawiri i mea ai, na hei hoa ahau mou, ka hanga hoki e ahau tou whare kia pumau, ka peratia me to Rawiri i hanga ra e ahau; a ka hoatu a Iharaira ki a koe.

And if you give attention to the orders I give you, walking in my ways and doing what is right in my eyes and keeping my laws and my orders as David my servant did; then I will be with you, building up for you a safe house, as I did for David, and I will give Israel to you.

39 A ka whakawhiua e ahau nga uri o Rawiri mo tenei mea nei; otiia ehara i te mea mo ake tonu atu.

(So that I may send trouble for this on the seed of David, but not for ever.)

40 Na ka whai a Horomona kia whakamatea a Ieropoama; otiia i whakatika a Ieropoama, a rere ana ki Ihipa, ki a Hihaka kingi o Ihipa, a i Ihipa ia a mate noa a Horomona.

And Solomon was looking for a chance to put Jeroboam to death; but he went in flight to Egypt, to Shishak, king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till the death of Solomon.

41 Na, ko era atu mahi a Horomona, ko nga mea katoa i mea ai ia, me ona whakaaro nui, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga mahi a Horomona?

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

42 Na, ko te roa o te kingitanga o Horomona ki Hiruharama ki a Iharaira katoa, e wha tekau tau.

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

43 Na ka moe a Horomona ki ona matua, a tanumia ana ki te pa o Rawiri, o tona papa; a ko Rehopoama, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.

And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Solomon went to rest with his fathers and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.
