1 Amakhosi 11
1 Inkosi uSolomoni yayibathanda kakhulu abafazi bezizweni kanye lendodakazi kaFaro, amaMowabi, ama-Amoni, ama-Edomi, amaSidoni lamaHithi.
Farao babaa no akyi no, ɔhene Salomo dɔɔ ananafoɔ mmaa bebree a na wɔyɛ Moabfoɔ, Amonfoɔ, Edomfoɔ, Sidonfoɔ ne Hetifoɔ.
2 Babengabezizwe uThixo ayethe kwabako-Israyeli, “Lingathathani labo, ngoba bazaguqulela inhliziyo zenu kubonkulunkulu babo.” Lanxa kunjalo, uSolomoni wabambelela kubo ngothando.
Na Awurade aka no pefee akyerɛ ne nkurɔfoɔ sɛ, wɔne saa aman no nni awadeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, mmaa a wɔbɛware wɔn no bɛtwetwe wɔn ama wɔakɔsom wɔn anyame. Nanso, Salomo waree wɔn ara.
3 Wayelabafazi abangamakhulu ayisikhombisa ababezalwa esikhosini labanye abafazi beceleni abangamakhulu amathathu; lakanye abafazi bakhe baphambukisa inhliziyo yakhe.
Na ɔwɔ yerenom ahanson ne mpenafoɔ ahasa. Na ampa ara wɔtwee ne ɔkra firii Awurade ho.
4 Ekuluphaleni kwakhe uSolomoni, abafazi bakhe baphambulela ukholo lwakhe kwabanye onkulunkulu, inhliziyo yakhe ayizange ilandele uThixo uNkulunkulu wakhe ngokupheleleyo, njengenhliziyo kaDavida uyise.
Ɛberɛ a Salomo bɔɔ akɔkoraa no, wɔtwee nʼakoma kɔɔ anyame afoforɔ so, na wamfa ne ho anto Awurade, ne Onyankopɔn so, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Dawid yɛeɛ no.
5 USolomoni walandela u-Ashithorethi unkulunkulu wamaSidoni, loMoleki unkulunkulu onengekayo wama-Amoni.
Salomo dii Sidonfoɔ nyamebaa Astoret ne Amonfoɔ nyame Molek a na wɔkyiri no no akyi.
6 Ngalokho uSolomoni wona phambi kukaThixo; kazange alandele uThixo ngokupheleleyo, njengokwakwenziwe nguyise uDavida.
Enti, Salomo yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Wanni Awurade akyi, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Dawid yɛeɛ no.
7 Eqaqeni olusempumalanga yeJerusalema, uSolomoni wakhela unkulunkulu onengekayo wamaMowabi uKhemoshi, loMoleki unkulunkulu onengekayo wama-Amoni indawo yomhlatshelo.
Salomo sii abosonnan maa Moabfoɔ nyame Kemos, a na ɔyɛ akyiwadeɛ, wɔ Ngo Bepɔ a ɛwɔ Yerusalem apueeɛ fam, na ɔsii bi nso maa Amonfoɔ nyame Molek, a na ɔyɛ akyiwadeɛ.
8 Wenza okufananayo kubo bonke abafazi bakhe bezizweni, batshisa impepha banikela ngemihlatshelo kubonkulunkulu babo.
Salomo sisii abosonnan yi maa nʼananayerenom nyinaa, sɛ wɔnhye nnuhwam, na wɔmmɔ afɔdeɛ mma wɔn anyame wɔ hɔ.
9 UThixo wamthukuthelela uSolomoni ngoba inhliziyo yakhe yayisimfulathele uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, yena ayezibonakalise kuye kabili.
Na Awurade bo fuu Salomo, ɛfiri sɛ, nʼakoma adane afiri Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, a wada ne ho adi akyerɛ no mprenu no ho.
10 Lanxa wayemlayile uSolomoni ukuba angalandeli abanye onkulunkulu, uSolomoni kazange awulandele umlayo kaThixo.
Ɔbɔɔ Salomo kɔkɔ sɛ ɔnni anyame foforɔ akyi, nanso Salomo anni Awurade ahyɛdeɛ so.
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.
Enti, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Salomo sɛ, “Esiane sɛ woanni mʼapam so, na woapo me mmara enti, ampa ara, mɛte ahemman no afiri wo ho, na mede ama wʼasomfoɔ no mu baako.
12 Loba kunjalo, ngenxa kaDavida uyihlo, angiyikwenza lokho wena usaphila. Ngizawuhluthuna esandleni sendodana yakho.
Nanso, ɛsiane wʼagya Dawid enti, merenyɛ saa ɛberɛ a wote ase. Mɛgye ahemman no afiri wo babarima nsam.
13 Kanti njalo angiyikuwuhluthuna wonke umbuso kuyo, kodwa ngizayinika isizwana esisodwa ngenxa kaDavida inceku yami njalo langenxa yeJerusalema, yona esengiyikhethile.”
Ɛno mpo, mɛma wadi abusuakuo baako so, ɛsiane me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid ne kuropɔn Yerusalem a mayi asi hɔ no enti.”
14 Ngakho uThixo wasemvusela isitha uSolomoni, uHadadi umʼEdomi owesikhosini sama-Edomi.
Na Awurade pagyaa Edomni Hadad a na ɔfiri Edom adehyebusua mu, sɛ ɔnyɛ ɔtamfoɔ ntia Salomo.
15 Mandulo uDavida esalwa lama-Edomi, uJowabi umlawuli webutho, owayengcwaba abafileyo, wayetshaye wabhuqa wonke amadoda ama-Edomi.
Mfeɛ bi a atwam no, Dawid ne Yoab a na ɔyɛ nʼakodɔm sahene no kɔɔ Edom kɔsiee Israelfoɔ bi a wɔtotɔɔ akono no. Ɛberɛ a wɔwɔ hɔ no, anka Israel akodɔm no reyɛ akunkum mmarima a wɔwɔ Edom nyinaa.
16 UJowabi lawo wonke ama-Israyeli ahlala khonale okwezinyanga eziyisithupha, baze babhubhisa wonke amadoda e-Edomi.
Yoab ne akodɔm no tenaa hɔ abosome nsia kunkumm wɔn.
17 Kodwa uHadadi, esesengumfanyana, wabalekela eGibhithe lezinye izikhulu zama-Edomi ezazisebenzele uyise.
Nanso, Hadad ne nʼagya adehyeɛ ntuanofoɔ no mu kakra dwaneeɛ. (Saa ɛberɛ no na Hadad yɛ abɔfra ketewa bi.)
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.
Wɔdwane firii Midian kɔɔ Paran. Paran hɔ na ebinom kɔkaa wɔn ho. Afei, wɔkɔɔ Misraim, Farao nkyɛn, na ɔmaa wɔn baabi a wɔbɛtena, aduane ne asase.
19 UHadadi wathandeka kakhulu kuFaro, waze wamendisela udadewabo womkakhe, udadewabo kaThaphenesi iNdlovukazi.
Farao pɛɛ Hadad asɛm yie, na ɔmaa no ɔyere a na ɔyɛ ɔhemmaa Tapanhes nuabaa.
20 Udadewabo kaThaphenesi wamzalela indodana eyathiwa nguGenubhathi. UThaphenesi wayondlela esigodlweni, kulapho-ke uGenubathi ahlala khona labantwana bakaFaro.
Ɔne no woo ɔbabarima a wɔtoo no edin Genubat, na wɔtetee no fraa Farao mmammarima mu wɔ Farao ahemfie.
21 Kwathi uHadadi esezwile eseGibhithe ukuthi uDavida kasekho lokuthi uJowabi induna yempi sewafa, wathi kuFaro: “Ake ungivumele ukuba ngiye elizweni lakithi.”
Ɛberɛ a Hadad tee wɔ Misraim sɛ Dawid ne ne sahene Yoab awuwu no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Farao sɛ, “Ma mensane nkɔ mʼankasa me ɔman mu.”
22 UFaro wathi kuye, “Usweleni lapha okwenza ufune ukubuyela elizweni lakini na?” UHadadi waphendula wathi, “Akulalutho kodwa ngivumela ngihambe!”
Farao bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn? Ɛdeɛn na ɛho hia wo wɔ ha? Ɛdeɛn ho na yɛadi wo hwammɔ a enti wopɛ sɛ wokɔ wo kurom?” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Biribiara nkɔɔ bɔne, nanso kɔ ara na mepɛ sɛ mekɔ efie.”
23 UNkulunkulu wamvusela njalo uSolomoni esinye isitha, uRezoni indodana ka-Eliyada owayebalekile enkosini yakhe uHadadezeri inkosi yaseZobha.
Onyankopɔn pagyaa Eliada babarima Reson nso ma ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔtamfoɔ tiaa Salomo. Reson dwane firii ne wura ɔhene Hadadeser a ɔfiri Soba nkyɛn
24 Waqoqa ixuku labahlamuki waba ngumkhokheli walo ngesikhathi uDavida echitha impi kaZobha; abahlamuki baya eDamaseko lapho bafika bahlala khona bayiphatha leyondawo.
bɛyɛɛ adɔnyɛfoɔ panin. Dawid dii Hadadeser so nkonim no, Reson ne ne mmarima dwane kɔɔ Damasko, kɔdii ɔhene wɔ hɔ.
25 URezoni waba yisitha sako-Israyeli ngesikhathi sokuphila kukaSolomoni, wengezelela kuloluhlupho olwasungulwa nguHadadi. Ngakho uRezoni wabusa e-Aramu ehlezi ezonda ilizwe lako-Israyeli.
Reson bɛyɛɛ Israel ɔtamfoɔ kɛseɛ wɔ Salomo ahennie nkaeɛ no nyinaa mu; na ɔyɛɛ ɔteeteefoɔ sɛdeɛ Hadad yɛeɛ no. Reson kɔɔ so tanee Israel dendeenden, na ɔtoaa so dii ɔhene wɔ Aram.
26 UJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi laye wahlamukela inkosi. Wayekade engesinye sezikhulu zikaSolomoni, engowesizwana sika-Efrayimi evela eZereda, unina owayethiwa nguZeruwa wayengumfelokazi.
Otuatefoɔ panin foforɔ bi nso ne Nebat babarima Yeroboam. Na ɔyɛ Salomo ankasa mpanimfoɔ no mu baako. Na ɔfiri kuro Sereda a ɛwɔ Efraim mu. Na wɔfrɛ ne maame Senua a ɔyɛ okunafoɔ.
27 Le yimbali yokuhlamukela kwakhe inkosi: USolomoni wayakhe walungisa amaguma ayizisekelo, njalo wagcwalisa evala isikhala esasisele emdulini wedolobho likayise uDavida.
Nʼatuateɛ no asekyerɛ nie: Na Salomo rekyekyere Milo, na ɔgu so resiesie nʼagya Dawid kuro no afasuo no,
28 UJerobhowamu wayeyindoda eyaziwayo, uSolomoni uthe ebona ukuthi wayelijaha elenza kuhle kanganani umsebenzi walo, wambeka induna yezisebenzi zonke endlini kaJosefa.
na Yeroboam yɛ nsiyɛfoɔ. Salomo hunuu no sɛ ɔyɛ ɔdeyɛfoɔ no, ɔde no tuaa adwumayɛfoɔ a wɔfiri Efraim ne Manase mmusuakuo mu no ano.
29 Ngalesosikhathi uJerobhowamu waphuma eJerusalema, wahlangana lomphrofethi weShilo u-Ahija endleleni, egqoke isigqoko esitsha. Bahlangana bebodwa bobabili kuleyondawo,
Ɛda bi a Yeroboam refiri Yerusalem no, ɔhyiaa odiyifoɔ Ahiya, Siloni, wɔ ɛkwan so a ɔhyɛ atadeɛ foforɔ. Na wɔn baanu nko na wɔwɔ wiram hɔ.
30 kwathi u-Ahija wathatha isigqoko esitsha ayesigqokile wasidabula iziqa ezilitshumi lambili.
Ɛhɔ na Ahiya worɔɔ nʼatadeɛ foforɔ a na ɛhyɛ no no, tetee mu asinasini dumienu.
31 Wasesithi kuJerobhowamu, “Wena zithathele iziqa ezilitshumi kulezi, ngoba uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli uthi, ‘Khangela, ngizahluthuna umbuso esandleni sikaSolomoni ngikunike izizwana ezilitshumi.
Na ɔka kyerɛɛ Yeroboam sɛ, “Fa asinasini yi mu edu, na sei na Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, reka: ‘Merebɛgye ahemman no afiri Salomo nsam, na mede mmusuakuo no mu edu bɛma wo.
32 Kodwa ngenxa yenceku yami uDavida ledolobho leJerusalema, lona engilikhethileyo phakathi kwazo zonke izizwana zako-Israyeli, ngizamtshiyela isizwana esisodwa.
Na ɛsiane me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid ne Yerusalem a mayi afiri Israel mmusuakuo no nyinaa mu no enti, mɛgya no abusua baako.
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.
Ɛfiri sɛ, Salomo agya me hɔ, akɔsom Astoret a ɔyɛ Sidonfoɔ nyamebaa ne Kemos a ɔyɛ Moabfoɔ nyame ne Amonfoɔ nyame Molek. Wamfa mʼakwan so anyɛ deɛ ɛsɔ mʼani. Wanni me mmara ne mʼahyɛdeɛ so te sɛ nʼagya Dawid.
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.
“‘Nanso, merennye ahemman no nyinaa mfiri Salomo nsam saa ɛberɛ yi. Esiane me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid, deɛ meyii no no, na ɔtiee mʼahyɛdeɛ, dii me mmara so no enti, mɛma Salomo adi adeɛ mfeɛ a aka no wɔ ne nkwa mu.
35 Ngizathatha umbuso esandleni sendodana yakhe ngikunike izizwana ezilitshumi.
Na mɛgye ahemman no afiri ne babarima nsam, na mede mmusuakuo no mu edu ama wo.
36 Ngizanika indodana yakhe isizwana esisodwa ukuze inceku yami uDavida ibe lesibane ngezikhathi zonke phambi kwami eJerusalema, umuzi engakhetha ukufaka iBizo lami.
Ne babarima bɛnya abusuakuo baako, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid asefoɔ bɛkɔ so adi ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem, kuro a mayi sɛ me din nna so no.
37 Kodwa-ke, wena ngokwakho, ngizakuthatha, njalo uzabusa phezu kwakho konke njengokufisa kwenhliziyo yakho yonke; uzakuba ngumbusi walo lonke elako-Israyeli.
Na mede wo bɛsi Israel ahennwa no so, na wobɛdi adeɛ no sɛdeɛ wʼankasa wʼakoma pɛ.
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.
Sɛ wotie asɛm a meka kyerɛ wo, na wonante mʼakwan mu, na woyɛ deɛ medwene sɛ ɛyɛ, na wotie me mmara, di mʼahyɛdeɛ so, sɛdeɛ me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid yɛeɛ no a, ɛnneɛ, daa mɛka wo ho. Mɛtim wo fie adedie ase, sɛdeɛ meyɛ maa Dawid no, na mede Israel bɛma wo.
39 Ngizabethula isithunzi abenzalo kaDavida ngenxa yalokhu, kodwa hatshi kuze kube nininini.’”
Nanso, ɛsiane Salomo bɔne a wayɛ enti, mɛtwe Dawid asefoɔ aso, nanso ɛrenyɛ afebɔɔ.’”
40 USolomoni wazama ukubulala uJerobhowamu kodwa uJerobhowamu wabalekela eGibhithe, enkosini uShishakhi, njalo wahlala khonale uSolomoni waze wafa.
Salomo pɛɛ sɛ ɔkum Yeroboam, nanso ɔdwane kɔɔ Misraim, Misraimhene Sisak nkyɛn, kɔsii sɛ Salomo wuiɛ.
41 Ezinye izehlakalo ezenzakala ekubuseni kukaSolomoni lakho konke akwenzayo lenhlakanipho yakhe ayitshengiselayo akulotshwanga yini egwalweni lwembali kaSolomoni na?
Na Salomo ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ, deɛ ɔyɛeɛ ne ne nyansa no deɛ, wɔatwerɛ wɔ Salomo Ho Nsɛm Nwoma no mu.
42 USolomoni wabusa eJerusalema phezu kuka-Israyeli okweminyaka engamatshumi amane.
Salomo dii ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem ne Israel nyinaa so mfirinhyia aduanan.
43 Kwaba yikho ukufa kwakhe eselandela oyise njalo wangcwatshwelwa emzini kaDavida uyise. URehobhowami indodana yakhe yathatha ubukhosi ngemva kwakhe.
Ɛberɛ a Salomo wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ nʼagya Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Rehoboam na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene foforɔ.
