1 Amakhosi 11
1 Inkosi uSolomoni yayithanda-ke abafazi abanengi bezizweni, kanye lendodakazi kaFaro, amaMowabikazi, amaAmonikazi, amaEdomikazi, amaSidonikazi, amaHethikazi,
Farao babaa no akyi no, ɔhene Salomo dɔɔ ananafoɔ mmaa bebree a na wɔyɛ Moabfoɔ, Amonfoɔ, Edomfoɔ, Sidonfoɔ ne Hetifoɔ.
2 ababevela ezizweni iNkosi eyayithe ngazo kubantwana bakoIsrayeli: Kaliyikungena kibo, labo kabayikungena kini; isibili bazaphendula inhliziyo yenu ilandele onkulunkulu babo. Bona uSolomoni wabanamathela 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, amakhosazana, labafazi abancane abangamakhulu amathathu; abafazi bakhe basebephambula inhliziyo yakhe.
Na ɔwɔ yerenom ahanson ne mpenafoɔ ahasa. Na ampa ara wɔtwee ne ɔkra firii Awurade ho.
4 Ngoba kwathi esikhathini sokuluphala kukaSolomoni, abafazi bakhe baphambulela inhliziyo yakhe ekulandeleni abanye onkulunkulu, lenhliziyo yakhe yayingaphelelanga kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe, 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 Ngoba uSolomoni wahamba emva kukaAshitarothi unkulunkulu wamaSidoni lemva kukaMilkomu isinengiso samaAmoni.
Salomo dii Sidonfoɔ nyamebaa Astoret ne Amonfoɔ nyame Molek a na wɔkyiri no no akyi.
6 USolomoni wasesenza okubi emehlweni eNkosi, kayilandelanga ngokupheleleyo iNkosi njengoDavida uyise.
Enti, Salomo yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Wanni Awurade akyi, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Dawid yɛeɛ no.
7 Ngalesosikhathi uSolomoni wakhela uKemoshi isinengiso sakoMowabi indawo ephakemeyo entabeni ephambi kweJerusalema, loMoleki isinengiso sabantwana bakoAmoni.
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 Langokunjalo wabenzela bonke abafazi bakhe bezizweni abatshisa impepha bahlabela onkulunkulu babo.
Salomo sisii abosonnan yi maa nʼananayerenom nyinaa, sɛ wɔnhye nnuhwam, na wɔmmɔ afɔdeɛ mma wɔn anyame wɔ hɔ.
9 INkosi yasimthukuthelela uSolomoni, ngoba inhliziyo yakhe yayiphambukile eNkosini, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, eyayibonakele 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 yamlaya mayelana lalinto, ukuthi angalandeli abanye onkulunkulu; kodwa kagcinanga lokho iNkosi eyamlaya khona.
Ɔbɔɔ Salomo kɔkɔ sɛ ɔnni anyame foforɔ akyi, nanso Salomo anni Awurade ahyɛdeɛ so.
11 Ngakho iNkosi yathi kuSolomoni: Ngenxa yokuthi lokhu kwenziwe nguwe, ungagcinanga isivumelwano sami lezimiso zami, engakulaya khona, ngizawudabula lokuwudabula umbuso kuwe, ngiwunike inceku yakho.
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 Kanti kangiyikukwenza ensukwini zakho ngenxa kaDavida uyihlo; ngizawudabula usuke esandleni sendodana yakho.
Nanso, ɛsiane wʼagya Dawid enti, merenyɛ saa ɛberɛ a wote ase. Mɛgye ahemman no afiri wo babarima nsam.
13 Loba kunjalo kangiyikudabula wonke umbuso; ngizanika indodana yakho isizwe esisodwa ngenxa kaDavida inceku yami langenxa yeJerusalema engiyikhethileyo.
Ɛno mpo, mɛma wadi abusuakuo baako so, ɛsiane me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid ne kuropɔn Yerusalem a mayi asi hɔ no enti.”
14 INkosi yasimvusela uSolomoni isitha, uHadadi umEdoma; wayengowenzalo yenkosi eEdoma.
Na Awurade pagyaa Edomni Hadad a na ɔfiri Edom adehyebusua mu, sɛ ɔnyɛ ɔtamfoɔ ntia Salomo.
15 Ngoba kwathi uDavida eseEdoma, uJowabi induna yebutho wayenyukele ukungcwaba ababuleweyo, watshaya wonke owesilisa eEdoma.
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 Ngoba uJowabi wahlala lapho inyanga eziyisithupha, loIsrayeli wonke, waze waquma wonke owesilisa eEdoma.
Yoab ne akodɔm no tenaa hɔ abosome nsia kunkumm wɔn.
17 Kodwa uHadadi wabaleka, yena lamaEdoma athile avela encekwini zikayise kanye laye, ukungena eGibhithe; njalo uHadadi wayengumfanyana.
Nanso, Hadad ne nʼagya adehyeɛ ntuanofoɔ no mu kakra dwaneeɛ. (Saa ɛberɛ no na Hadad yɛ abɔfra ketewa bi.)
18 Basebesuka eMidiyani, bafika eParani, bathatha amadoda labo eParani, bafika eGibhithe, kuFaro inkosi yeGibhithe, owamnika indlu, wammisela ukudla, wamnika umhlabathi.
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 wasethola umusa omkhulu emehlweni kaFaro, waze wamendisela udadewabo womkakhe, udadewabo kaTapenesi indlovukazi.
Farao pɛɛ Hadad asɛm yie, na ɔmaa no ɔyere a na ɔyɛ ɔhemmaa Tapanhes nuabaa.
20 Udadewabo kaTapenesi wasemzalela uGenubathi indodana yakhe, uTapenesi amlumulela phakathi kwendlu kaFaro; njalo uGenubathi wayesendlini kaFaro phakathi kwabantwana 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 ulele laboyise lokuthi uJowabi induna yebutho usefile, uHadadi wathi kuFaro: Ngivumela ngisuke ukuthi 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 wasesithi kuye: Kodwa usweleni ulami ukuthi, khangela, udinge ukuya elizweni lakini? Wasesithi: Akulalutho, loba kunjalo ngivumela lokungivumela 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 wasemvusela isitha, uRezoni indodana kaEliyada owayebalekile enkosini yakhe uHadadezeri inkosi yeZoba.
Onyankopɔn pagyaa Eliada babarima Reson nso ma ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔtamfoɔ tiaa Salomo. Reson dwane firii ne wura ɔhene Hadadeser a ɔfiri Soba nkyɛn
24 Wasezibuthela amadoda, waba ngumkhokheli weviyo, lapho uDavida ebabulala; basebesiya eDamaseko, bahlala kuyo, babusa eDamaseko.
bɛyɛɛ adɔnyɛfoɔ panin. Dawid dii Hadadeser so nkonim no, Reson ne ne mmarima dwane kɔɔ Damasko, kɔdii ɔhene wɔ hɔ.
25 Wasesiba yisitha kuIsrayeli insuku zonke zikaSolomoni, phezu kobubi uHadadi abenzayo; njalo wanengwa nguIsrayeli, wabusa phezu kukaSiriya.
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 LoJerobhowamu, indodana kaNebati, umEfrayimi weZereda, inceku kaSolomoni, obizo likanina lalinguZeruwa, owesifazana ongumfelokazi, laye waphakamisa isandla emelene lenkosi.
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 Yilolu-ke udaba lokuthi aphakamise isandla emelene lenkosi. USolomoni wakha iMilo, wavala isikhala somuzi kaDavida uyise.
Nʼatuateɛ no asekyerɛ nie: Na Salomo rekyekyere Milo, na ɔgu so resiesie nʼagya Dawid kuro no afasuo no,
28 UJerobhowamu wayeliqhawe elilamandla. Kwathi uSolomoni ebona lelijaha ukuthi likhuthele emsebenzini, walibeka phezu kwawo wonke umthwalo wendlu 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 Kwasekusithi ngalesosikhathi lapho uJerobhowamu ephuma eJerusalema, uAhiya umShilo umprofethi wamfica endleleni. Njalo wayezigqokise isigqoko esitsha; bobabili babebodwa egangeni.
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 UAhiya wasesibamba isigqoko esitsha esasikuye, wasidabula iziqa ezilitshumi lambili,
Ɛhɔ na Ahiya worɔɔ nʼatadeɛ foforɔ a na ɛhyɛ no no, tetee mu asinasini dumienu.
31 wathi kuJerobhowamu: Zithathele iziqa ezilitshumi, ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Khangela, ngizadabula umbuso usuke esandleni sikaSolomoni, ngikunike izizwe 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 yena uzakuba lesizwe esisodwa ngenxa yenceku yami uDavida langenxa yeJerusalema, umuzi engiwukhethileyo ezizweni zonke zakoIsrayeli.
Na ɛsiane me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid ne Yerusalem a mayi afiri Israel mmusuakuo no nyinaa mu no enti, mɛgya no abusua baako.
33 Ngenxa yokuthi bangitshiyile, bakhonza uAshitarothi unkulunkulu wamaSidoni, uKemoshi unkulunkulu wamaMowabi, loMilkomu unkulunkulu wabantwana bakoAmoni, kabahambanga ngendlela zami, ukwenza okulungileyo emehlweni ami, lokulondoloza izimiso zami lezahlulelo zami, njengoDavida uyise.
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 Loba kunjalo kangiyikuwususa umbuso wonke esandleni sakhe; kodwa ngizamenza abe ngumbusi zonke izinsuku zempilo yakhe ngenxa kaDavida inceku yami, engamkhethayo, owagcina imilayo yami lezimiso zami.
“‘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 Kodwa ngizawususa umbuso esandleni sendodana yakhe, ngiwunike wena, izizwe ezilitshumi.
Na mɛgye ahemman no afiri ne babarima nsam, na mede mmusuakuo no mu edu ama wo.
36 Lendodana yakhe ngizayinika isizwe sibe sinye ukuze uDavida inceku yami abe lesibane zonke izinsuku phambi kwami eJerusalema, umuzi engizikhethele wona ukuze ngibeke ibizo lami khona.
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 Wena-ke ngizakuthatha, uzabusa phezu kwakho konke umphefumulo wakho okuloyisayo, ube yinkosi phezu kukaIsrayeli.
Na mede wo bɛsi Israel ahennwa no so, na wobɛdi adeɛ no sɛdeɛ wʼankasa wʼakoma pɛ.
38 Kuzakuthi-ke, uba ulalela konke engikulaya khona, uhambe ngezindlela zami, wenze okulungileyo emehlweni ami, ukugcina izimiso zami lemilayo yami, njengokwenza kukaDavida inceku yami, ngizakuba lawe, ngikwakhele indlu eqinileyo, njengengayakhela uDavida, ngizakunika uIsrayeli,
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 njalo ngihluphe inzalo kaDavida ngenxa yalokhu, kodwa kungabi kokuphela.
Nanso, ɛsiane Salomo bɔne a wayɛ enti, mɛtwe Dawid asefoɔ aso, nanso ɛrenyɛ afebɔɔ.’”
40 Ngakho uSolomoni wadinga ukumbulala uJerobhowamu, kodwa uJerobhowamu wasuka wabalekela eGibhithe, kuShishaki inkosi yeGibhithe, wayeseGibhithe waze wafa uSolomoni.
Salomo pɛɛ sɛ ɔkum Yeroboam, nanso ɔdwane kɔɔ Misraim, Misraimhene Sisak nkyɛn, kɔsii sɛ Salomo wuiɛ.
41 Ezinye-ke zezindaba zikaSolomoni, lakho konke akwenzayo, lenhlakanipho yakhe, kakubhalwanga yini egwalweni lwendaba zikaSolomoni?
Na Salomo ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ, deɛ ɔyɛeɛ ne ne nyansa no deɛ, wɔatwerɛ wɔ Salomo Ho Nsɛm Nwoma no mu.
42 Isikhathi-ke uSolomoni abusa ngaso eJerusalema phezu kukaIsrayeli wonke saba yiminyaka engamatshumi amane.
Salomo dii ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem ne Israel nyinaa so mfirinhyia aduanan.
43 USolomoni waselala laboyise, wangcwatshelwa emzini kaDavida uyise. URehobhowamu indodana yakhe wasesiba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
Ɛberɛ a Salomo wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ nʼagya Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Rehoboam na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene foforɔ.
