1 Amakhosi 11

1 Inkosi uSolomoni yayibathanda kakhulu abafazi bezizweni kanye lendodakazi kaFaro, amaMowabi, ama-Amoni, ama-Edomi, amaSidoni lamaHithi.

Hagi Solomoni'a Fero mofa'ma eri'nefina, rama'a megi'a a'nema avesizamanteno eri'neana Moapu a'nene, Amoni a'nene Edomu a'nene, Saidoni a'nene, Hiti a'nenena eri'ne.

2 Babengabezizwe uThixo ayethe kwabako-Israyeli, “Lingathathani labo, ngoba bazaguqulela inhliziyo zenu kubonkulunkulu babo.” Lanxa kunjalo, uSolomoni wabambelela kubo ngothando.

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Israeli vahera kora zamasami'ne, E'i ana mopafintira aneramina e'oriho. Na'ankure tamagu'a tamazeri arukrahe hanageta zamagri anumza avaririgahaze huno hu'ne. Hianagi Solomoni'a anankea ontahi ana a'neramina tusiza huno avesizmante'ne.

3 Wayelabafazi abangamakhulu ayisikhombisa ababezalwa esikhosini labanye abafazi beceleni abangamakhulu amathathu; lakanye abafazi bakhe baphambukisa inhliziyo yakhe.

Hagi kini vahe'mokizmi mofanea Solomoni'a 700'a ese a'nea nezmanteno, 300'a henka a'nea eri'zmante'ne. Hagi tamage hu'za ana a'nemo'za Ra Anumzamofonte'ma mani'neazana agu'a azeri rukrahera hu'naze.

4 Ekuluphaleni kwakhe uSolomoni, abafazi bakhe baphambulela ukholo lwakhe kwabanye onkulunkulu, inhliziyo yakhe ayizange ilandele uThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe ngokupheleleyo, njengenhliziyo kaDavida uyise.

Hagi Solomoni'ma ozafama nerege'za ana a'neramimo'za agu'a azeri rukrahe hazageno, nefa Deviti'ma agu'areti huno Ra Anumzamofoma avesinteno avariri'nea zana osu'ne.

5 USolomoni walandela u-Ashithorethi unkulunkulu wamaSidoni, loMoleki unkulunkulu onengekayo wama-Amoni.

Na'ankure Solomoni'a Saidoni vahe'mofo a' anumza Astoretine, Amori vahe anumza agoteno hi'mnage hu'nea anumza Molekine, zanavaririno monora huzanante'ne.

6 Ngalokho uSolomoni wona phambi kukaThixo; kazange alandele uThixo ngokupheleleyo, njengokwakwenziwe nguyise uDavida.

E'ina nehuno Solomoni'a Ra Anumzamofo avurera kefo avu'ava nehuno, nefa Deviti'ma agu'areti huno Ra Anumzamofoma avariri'nea zana osu'ne.

7 Eqaqeni olusempumalanga yeJerusalema, uSolomoni wakhela unkulunkulu onengekayo wamaMowabi uKhemoshi, loMoleki unkulunkulu onengekayo wama-Amoni indawo yomhlatshelo.

Ana nehuno Solomoni'a Jerusalem kuma'mofona zage hanati kaziga agonare, Moapu vahe hi'mnage anumza Kemosine, Amori vahe hi'mnage anumza Molekinema mono hunte kumara tro hu'ne.

8 Wenza okufananayo kubo bonke abafazi bakhe bezizweni, batshisa impepha banikela ngemihlatshelo kubonkulunkulu babo.

Ana nehuno Solomoni'a mago'mago megi'a a'ne'aramimo'ma havi anumzama'are'ma ofa nehuno, Kresramanama nevuno, mnanentake zama kre mnama vanaza kumara tro huzmantetere hu'ne.

9 UThixo wamthukuthelela uSolomoni ngoba inhliziyo yakhe yayisimfulathele uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yena ayezibonakalise kuye kabili.

Hagi tare zupama Solomoninte'ma efore'ma humino ru anumzantera mono huontoma huno asami'nea Ra Anumzamofona atreno amefi humigeno, Anumzamo'a tusi arimpa Solomonina ahente'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofona amefi humigeno'e.

10 Lanxa wayemlayile uSolomoni ukuba angalandeli abanye onkulunkulu, uSolomoni kazange awulandele umlayo kaThixo.

Hagi havi anumzantamimofoma ovaririnka, monora huonto huno'ma Ra Anumzamo'a avumarora ante'ne. Hianagi Solomoni'a Ra Anumzamo'ma osuoma huno asmi'nea kea rutarage'ne.

11 Ngakho uThixo wasesithi kuSolomoni. “Njengoba le kuyiyo injongo yakho njalo awugcinanga isivumelwano sami kanye lezimiso zami, lezo engakulaya ngazo, impela ngizawuhluthuna umbuso wakho kuwe ngiwunike omunye wabantu abangaphansi kwakho.

E'ina higeno Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno Solomonina asmi'ne, kagra kasege'nine trake'ninema kegava huo huana, ontahinka rutraganku kumama kegavama hu'nampintira kazeri atre'na eri'za vaheka'a atrenugeno kegava hugahie.

12 Loba kunjalo, ngenxa kaDavida uyihlo, angiyikwenza lokho wena usaphila. Ngizawuhluthuna esandleni sendodana yakho.

Hianagi negafa Deviti'ma hu'nea avu'ava zanku nentahi'na kagrama mani'nenana knafina kagrira anara osugahuanki, kagrama fritesanke'na negamofo anara hu'na kini tratetira avretre'na eri'za vahe'a kini tratera avrentegahue.

13 Kanti njalo angiyikuwuhluthuna wonke umbuso kuyo, kodwa ngizayinika isizwana esisodwa ngenxa kaDavida inceku yami njalo langenxa yeJerusalema, yona esengiyikhethile.”

Hianagi Deviti'ma hu'nea avu'ava zanku'ene Jerusalemi kuma'ma huhampri'noa zanku'enena nentahi'na, negamofona kini tratetira azeri atre vagaoregahuanki, magoke naga nofi ami'nenkeno kegava huzmantegahie.

14 Ngakho uThixo wasemvusela isitha uSolomoni, uHadadi umʼEdomi owesikhosini sama-Edomi.

Anage nehuno Ra Anumzamo'a Idomu kini ne'mofo nagapinti Hadati'e nehaza ne' azeri otigeno, Solomonina ha'rente'ne.

15 Mandulo uDavida esalwa lama-Edomi, uJowabi umlawuli webutho, owayengcwaba abafileyo, wayetshaye wabhuqa wonke amadoda ama-Edomi.

Na'ankure kora Deviti'ma Edomu vahe'ma ha'ma ome hunezmantea knafina, Sondia vahete vugota kva ne' Joapu'a marerino Israeli sondia vahe'ma hapinti'ma zamahe'naza vahetmina ome asenezmanteno, maka Idomu vefamora zamahe hana hu'ne.

16 UJowabi lawo wonke ama-Israyeli ahlala khonale okwezinyanga eziyisithupha, baze babhubhisa wonke amadoda e-Edomi.

Hagi Joapu'ene Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za 6si'a ika Edomu kumatera mani'ne'za maka vefamora zamahe hana hu'naze.

17 Kodwa uHadadi, esesengumfanyana, wabalekela eGibhithe lezinye izikhulu zama-Edomi ezazisebenzele uyise.

Hianagi ana'ma higeno'a Hadati'a nefa eri'za vahe'tamine freno Isipi vu'ne. Hagi ana knafina Hadati'a osi mofavre mani'negeno anara hu'ne.

18 Basuka eMidiyani baya ePharani. Bathe sebethatha amadoda ePharani behamba lawo, baya eGibhithe, kuFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe, yena owapha uHadadi indlu kanye lomhlaba waze wamnika kanye lokudla.

Hagi Midieni mopafintira atre'za Parani e'za Paranitira mago'a vahe eme zamavare'za Isipi kini ne' Feronte ehanatizageno none ne'zana nezamino, mopa zamige'za mani'naze.

19 UHadadi wathandeka kakhulu kuFaro, waze wamendisela udadewabo womkakhe, udadewabo kaThaphenesi iNdlovukazi.

Hagi Fero'a Hadatina tusiza huno avesinenteno, nenaro kuini a' Tapenesi negna amigeno ara eri'ne.

20 Udadewabo kaThaphenesi wamzalela indodana eyathiwa nguGenubhathi. UThaphenesi wayondlela esigodlweni, kulapho-ke uGenubathi ahlala khona labantwana bakaFaro.

Hagi Tapenesi negna'a Hadatintetira mago ne' mofavre anteno Genubati'e huno agia antemi'ne. Higeno ana mofavrea Tapenesi avreno kegava higeno, Fero nompi Fero mofavreramine mani'ne.

21 Kwathi uHadadi esezwile eseGibhithe ukuthi uDavida kasekho lokuthi uJowabi induna yempi sewafa, wathi kuFaro: “Ake ungivumele ukuba ngiye elizweni lakithi.”

Hagi Deviti'ene sondia vahete kva ne' Joapu'enema fri'na'ema hiankema Hadati'ma nentahino'a, amanage huno Ferona antahige'ne, natrege'na mopanirega vaneno.

22 UFaro wathi kuye, “Usweleni lapha okwenza ufune ukubuyela elizweni lakini na?” UHadadi waphendula wathi, “Akulalutho kodwa ngivumela ngihambe!”

Hianagi Fero'a huno, Na'anku atupara amafina hunenka mopakarega vunakura nehane. Higeno Hadati'a huno, ana hu'neanagi natrege'na va'neno.

23 UNkulunkulu wamvusela njalo uSolomoni esinye isitha, uRezoni indodana ka-Eliyada owayebalekile enkosini yakhe uHadadezeri inkosi yaseZobha.

Hagi ana hukna huno Anumzamo'a Eliada nemofo Rezonina azeri otigeno, Solomonina ha'rente'ne. Hagi Rezoni'a Zoba kumate kini ne' Hadadezeri eri'za nekino kva'amofona atreno freno vuno,

24 Waqoqa ixuku labahlamuki waba ngumkhokheli walo ngesikhathi uDavida echitha impi kaZobha; abahlamuki baya eDamaseko lapho bafika bahlala khona bayiphatha leyondawo.

kini ne'ma ha'ma hunentaza vahe'mofo kva umani'ne. Hagi Deviti'ma Hadadezerine Zoba kumate sondia vahe'anema aheno'ma eri hana'ma higeno'a, Rezoni'a kvama huzmante'nea vahe'tmina nezmavremo, fre'no vige'za Damaskasi kumate kinia ome azeri oti'naze.

25 URezoni waba yisitha sako-Israyeli ngesikhathi sokuphila kukaSolomoni, wengezelela kuloluhlupho olwasungulwa nguHadadi. Ngakho uRezoni wabusa e-Aramu ehlezi ezonda ilizwe lako-Israyeli.

Hagi Solomoni'ma kinima mani'nea knafina Israeli vahe'mofona Rezoni'a hankvenentake ha' vahe'zmi mani'neno, Hadadi'ma hu'neaza huno tusi hazenke hunezamino Israeli vahetminkura agra tusiza huno agotezmanteno, Siria vahera kegava hu'ne.

26 UJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi laye wahlamukela inkosi. Wayekade engesinye sezikhulu zikaSolomoni, engowesizwana sika-Efrayimi evela eZereda, unina owayethiwa nguZeruwa wayengumfelokazi.

Ana hukna huno mago ne'ma Solomonima ha'ma rente'nea nera, Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu'e. Agra Efraemi nagapinti ne' Zereda kumate nemania nekino, Zerua'e huno nehia kento a'mofo mofavre.

27 Le yimbali yokuhlamukela kwakhe inkosi: USolomoni wayakhe walungisa amaguma ayizisekelo, njalo wagcwalisa evala isikhala esasisele emdulini wedolobho likayise uDavida.

Hagi ama'na agafare Jeroboamu'a Solomonina hararente'ne. Jerusalemi rankuma'mo'ma urami eramima hu'nea zama Solomoni'ma mopa katenteno eri agupo nehuno, nefa Deviti'ma hu'nea vihu keginama eri fatgoma hu'nea zanku anara hu'ne.

28 UJerobhowamu wayeyindoda eyaziwayo, uSolomoni uthe ebona ukuthi wayelijaha elenza kuhle kanganani umsebenzi walo, wambeka induna yezisebenzi zonke endlini kaJosefa.

Hagi Jeroboamu'a maka eri'zana antahi ani hu'nea nehazavegino, Solomoni'ma keama maka eri'zama eriga'ma higeno'a, kva azeri otigeno Josefe nagatera agra kegava hu'nege'za eri'zana eri'naze.

29 Ngalesosikhathi uJerobhowamu waphuma eJerusalema, wahlangana lomphrofethi weShilo u-Ahija endleleni, egqoke isigqoko esitsha. Bahlangana bebodwa bobabili kuleyondawo,

Hagi ana knafina Jeroboamu'a Jerusalemi kumara atreno nevigeno, Silo kumateti kasnampa ne' Ahiza'a karanka eme keno eri fore higeke vahe omanipi vu'na'e. Ahiza'a kasefa nakreku antanineno vu'ne.

30 kwathi u-Ahija wathatha isigqoko esitsha ayesigqokile wasidabula iziqa ezilitshumi lambili.

Hagi Ahiza'a Jeroboamuma eme keno eri fore'ma nehuno'a, kasefa nakreku'ma antani'neana eme azerino amu'nompinti eri vararo higeno 12fu'a efore nehigeno,

31 Wasesithi kuJerobhowamu, “Wena zithathele iziqa ezilitshumi kulezi, ngoba uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Khangela, ngizahluthuna umbuso esandleni sikaSolomoni ngikunike izizwana ezilitshumi.

amanage huno asami'ne, Nakre kuka'ama 10ni'ama eri tagato'ma hutroana kagra erio. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a amanage hie, ko, nagra Solomoni'ma kegavama hu'nea mopa hanare'na 10ni'afima naga nofira kami'nugenka kegava hugahane.

32 Kodwa ngenxa yenceku yami uDavida ledolobho leJerusalema, lona engilikhethileyo phakathi kwazo zonke izizwana zako-Israyeli, ngizamtshiyela isizwana esisodwa.

Hianagi eri'za vahe'nemifo Devintinku'ene Jerusalemi kumaku'ma, maka Israeli naga'nofipinti'ma huhampri'noa kumaku'ene nentahina Solomonina atre'nugeno magoke naga'mofo kinia manigahie.

33 Ngizakwenza lokhu ngoba bangifulathele bakhonza u-Ashithorethi unkulunkulukazi wamaSidoni, loKhemoshi unkulunkulu wamaMowabi, kanye loMoleki unkulunkulu wama-Amoni, njalo abahambanga ngezami izindlela, abenzanga ukulunga phambi kwami, abayigcinanga imilayo lemithetho yami njengalokhu okwenziwa nguDavida uyise kaSolomoni.

Na'ankure zamagra zamefi hunami'za, Saidoni vahe'mofo a' havi anumza Astoretinte'ene, Moapu vahe havi anumza Kemosinte'ene, Amori vahe havi anumza Morekinte monora hunente'za, nagrira namagera nonte'za, nagri navurera knare zamavu'zmavara nosu'za, Solomoni nefa Deviti'ma hu'neaza hu'za kasegeni'ane trakeni'a ovariri'naze.

34 Kodwa angiyikususa umbuso wonke esandleni sikaSolomoni; ngizamenza ukuba abe ngumbusi okwempilo yakhe yonke ngenxa yenceku yami uDavida, yena engamkhethayo njalo wayilandela imilayo yami wayigcina lemithetho yami.

Hianagi Solomoni'ma ana maka mopama kegavama hu'nea mopa ru vahera hanare omigosuanki, atresugeno kini mani'neno ufrigahie. Na'ankure eri'za ne'ni'a Devitinku nagri eri'za vahe mani'ne hu'na hugeno kasegeni'ane tra keni'ama avriri'nea zanku hu'na anara hugahue.

35 Ngizathatha umbuso esandleni sendodana yakhe ngikunike izizwana ezilitshumi.

Hianagi Solomoni nemofo azampintira kegavama hu'nea 10ni'a naga nofira hanare'na kagri kaminugenka kegava huzmantegahane.

36 Ngizanika indodana yakhe isizwana esisodwa ukuze inceku yami uDavida ibe lesibane ngezikhathi zonke phambi kwami eJerusalema, umuzi engakhetha ukufaka iBizo lami.

Hianagi nemofona magoke naga nofi amisugeno kegava nehina, eri'za ne'ni'a Deviti nagapintike nagima erisga hugahazema hu'noa kumapina, Jerusalemia tavi kna hu'za mani'za vugahaze.

37 Kodwa-ke, wena ngokwakho, ngizakuthatha, njalo uzabusa phezu kwakho konke njengokufisa kwenhliziyo yakho yonke; uzakuba ngumbusi walo lonke elako-Israyeli.

Hagi kagrira Israeli vahe kini trate kavrenta'nena, maka kagri'ma kavesinia mopa kegava hugahane.

38 Nxa ungenza engikulaya ngakho uhambe ngezindlela zami wenze okuhle emehlweni ami okunjengokulalela imilayo yami lokulawulwa yimi, njengalokhu okwenziwa yinceku yami uDavida, ungenza njalo ngizakuba lawe. Ngizawuqinisa umbuso wakho njengokaDavida njalo ngizakunika u-Israyeli.

Hagi eri'za ne'ni'a Deviti'ma hu'neaza huo hu'na kasamisua kema kagrama antahinka nagri navu'navama nevaririnka, fatgo avu'ava'ma nehunka tra ke'ni'ane kasegeni'anema avaririsanke'na, maka zupa kagri'ene mani'nena Devitima hu'noaza hu'na kagri nagapintike Israeli vahe kinia azeri onetina, Israeli mopa kagri kamigahue.

39 Ngizabethula isithunzi abenzalo kaDavida ngenxa yalokhu, kodwa hatshi kuze kube nininini.’”

Ana nehu'na Solomoni'ma hu'nea kumitera Devitipinti'ma fore'ma hanaza vahera hazenkezanu zamazeri haviza hugahuanagi, zamazeri haviza hu vava hu'na ovugahue.

40 USolomoni wazama ukubulala uJerobhowamu kodwa uJerobhowamu wabalekela eGibhithe, enkosini uShishakhi, njalo wahlala khonale uSolomoni waze wafa.

E'inama higeno'a Solomoni'a Jeroboamuna ahenaku hu'neanagi, Jeroboamu'a freno Isipi kini ne' Sisaki'ene umaninegeno, Solomoni'a fri'ne.

41 Ezinye izehlakalo ezenzakala ekubuseni kukaSolomoni lakho konke akwenzayo lenhlakanipho yakhe ayitshengiselayo akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali kaSolomoni na?

Hagi Solomoni'ma kinima mani'nea knafima fore'ma hu'nea zantamine, Solomoni'ma knare antahintahi'areti'ma hu'nea zantamina Solomoni agi agenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.

42 USolomoni wabusa eJerusalema phezu kuka-Israyeli okweminyaka engamatshumi amane.

Hagi Solomoni'a Jerusalemi kumate kinia mani'neno 40'a kafufi Israeli vahera kegava hu'ne.

43 Kwaba yikho ukufa kwakhe eselandela oyise njalo wangcwatshwelwa emzini kaDavida uyise. URehobhowami indodana yakhe yathatha ubukhosi ngemva kwakhe.

Hagi Solomoni'ma frigeno'a, Deviti rankumapi Jerusalemi afahe'mofoma asente'nazafi asentazageno, nemofo Rehoboamu'a agri nona erino kinia mani'ne.
