1 Madzimambo 11
1 Zvisinei, Mambo Soromoni akada vakadzi vazhinji vamamwe marudzi pamwe chete nomwanasikana waFaro, wechiMoabhu, vechiAmoni, vechiEdhomu, vechiSidhoni nevechiHiti.
And King Solomon has loved many strange women, and the daughter of Pharaoh, females of Moab, Ammon, Edom, Sidon, [and] of the Hittites,
2 Vaiva vamarudzi ayo akanga anzi naJehovha kuvana vaIsraeri, “Musaroorerane navo nokuti vachapindura mwoyo yenyu ikatevera vamwari vavo.” Zvakadaro, Soromoni akanamatira kwavari murudo.
of the nations of which YHWH said to the sons of Israel, “You do not go in to them, and they do not go in to you; surely they turn aside your heart after their gods”; Solomon has cleaved to them for love.
3 Aiva navakadzi mazana manomwe, vanasikana vamadzimambo, navamwe varongo mazana matatu; vakadzi vake vakatsausa mwoyo wake.
And he has seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turn aside his heart.
4 Zvino Soromoni akati akwegura, vakadzi vake vakatsausa mwoyo wake akatevera vamwe vamwari, uye mwoyo wake wakanga usina kuzvipira zvizere kuna Jehovha Mwari wake, sezvakanga zvakaita mwoyo waDhavhidhi baba vake.
And it comes to pass, at the time of Solomon’s old age, his wives have turned aside his heart after other gods, and his heart has not been perfect with his God YHWH, like the heart of his father David.
5 Akatevera Ashitoreti, mwarikadzi wavaSidhoni, naMoreki mwari anonyangadza wavaAmoni.
And Solomon goes after Ashtoreth goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites;
6 Saka Soromoni akaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha; haana kutevera Jehovha zvizere sezvakanga zvaitwa naDhavhidhi baba vake.
and Solomon does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and has not been fully after YHWH, like his father David.
7 Pagomo riri kumabvazuva kweJerusarema, Soromoni akavakira Kemoshi, mwari anonyangadza wavaMoabhu nzvimbo yakakwirira, akavakirawo Moreki, mwari anonyangadza wavaAmoni.
Then Solomon builds a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the hill that [is] on the front of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the sons of Ammon;
8 Akaitira vakadzi vake vose vaibva kuna mamwe marudzi zvimwe chetezvo, ivo vaipisa zvinonhuhwira nokubayira zvibayiro kuna vamwari vavo.
and so he has done for all his strange women, who are perfuming and sacrificing to their gods.
9 Jehovha akatsamwira Soromoni nokuti mwoyo wake wakanga watsauka kubva kuna Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, uyo akanga azviratidza kwaari kaviri.
And YHWH shows Himself angry with Solomon, for his heart has turned aside from YHWH, God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
10 Kunyange akanga adzivisa Soromoni kutevera vamwe vamwari, Soromoni haana kuchengeta murayiro waJehovha.
and given a charge to him concerning this thing, not to go after other gods; and he has not kept that which YHWH commanded,
11 Saka Jehovha akati kuna Soromoni, “Sezvo aya ari iwo mafungiro ako uye usina kuchengeta sungano yangu nemitemo yangu yandakakurayira, zvirokwazvo ndichabvarura umambo uhu ndichihubvisa kwauri ndigohupa kuno mumwe wavaranda vako.
and YHWH says to Solomon, “Because that this has been with you, and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes that I charged on you, I surely tear the kingdom from you, and have given it to your servant.
12 Zvisinei, nokuda kwaDhavhidhi baba vako, handisi kuzozviita uchiri mupenyu. Ndichahubvisa kubva muruoko rwomwanakomana wako.
Only, I do not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David; I tear it out of the hand of your son;
13 Zvakadaro hazvo, handizobvisi umambo hwose, kubva kwaari, asi ndichamupa rudzi rumwe chete nokuda kwaDhavhidhi muranda wangu uye nokuda kweJerusarema, randakasarudza.”
only, I do not tear away all of the kingdom; I give one tribe to your son, for the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem that I have chosen.”
14 Ipapo Jehovha akamutsa Hadhadhi muEdhomu, weimba youmambo yeEdhomu kuti arwise Soromoni.
And YHWH raises up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he [is] of the seed of the king in Edom;
15 Dhavhidhi panguva yaakanga achirwa neEdhomu, Joabhu, mutungamiri wehondo, uyo akanga aenda kundoviga vakanga vafa, akauraya varume vose muEdhomu.
and it comes to pass, in David’s being with Edom, in the going up of Joab head of the host to bury the slain, that he strikes every male in Edom—
16 Joabhu navaIsraeri vose vakagarako kwemwedzi mitanhatu, kusvikira vauraya varume vose muEdhomu.
for six months Joab abided there, and all Israel, until the cutting off of every male in Edom—
17 Asi Hadhadhi, uyo akanga achiri mukomana, akatizira kuIjipiti namamwe machinda echiEdhomu aimboshandira baba vake.
and Hadad flees, he and certain Edomites, of the servants of his father, with him, to go to Egypt, and Hadad [is] a little youth,
18 Vakasimuka vachibva kuMidhiani vakaenda kuParani. Ipapo vakatora vamwe varume vokuParani vakaenda pamwe chete kuIjipiti, kuna mambo Faro weIjipiti, uyo akapa Hadhadhi imba nomunda, akamupawo zvokudya.
and they rise out of Midian, and come into Paran, and take men with them out of Paran, and come into Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he gives a house to him, and has commanded bread for him, and has given land to him.
19 Faro akafadzwa naHadhadhi zvokuti akamupa muramu wake, mununʼuna wavahosi vake Tapenesi, kuti ave mukadzi wake.
And Hadad finds grace in the eyes of Pharaoh exceedingly, and he gives to him a wife, the sister of his own wife, sister of Tahpenes the mistress;
20 Mununʼuna waTapenesi uyu akamuberekera mwanakomana anonzi Genubhati, akakurira mumuzinda wamambo. Imomo, Genubhati akagara pamwe chete navana vaFaro.
and the sister of Tahpenes bears to him his son Genubath, and Tahpenes weans him within the house of Pharaoh, and Genubath is in the house of Pharaoh in the midst of the sons of Pharaoh.
21 Ari muIjipiti, Hadhadhi akanzwa kuti Dhavhidhi akanga azorora namadzibaba ake uye kuti Joabhu mutungamiri wehondo akanga afawo. Ipapo Hadhadhi akati kuna Faro, “Chindiregai ndiende hangu, ndidzokere kunyika yangu.”
And Hadad has heard in Egypt that David has lain with his fathers, and that Joab head of the host is dead, and Hadad says to Pharaoh, “Send me away, and I go to my land.”
22 Faro akamubvunza akati, “Washayeiko kuno zvowoda kudzokera kunyika yako?” Hadhadhi akapindura akati, “Hapana, asi regai ndiende zvangu!”
And Pharaoh says to him, “But what are you lacking with me, that behold, you are seeking to go to your own land?” And he says, “Nothing, but you certainly send me away.”
23 Mwari akamutsira Soromoni mumwe muvengi, Rezoni, mwanakomana waEriadha, akanga atiza kubva kuna tenzi wake Hadhadhezeri mambo weZobha.
And God raises an adversary against him, Rezon son of Eliadah, who has fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord,
24 Akazviunganidzira varume akabva ava mutungamiri wechikwata chavapanduki panguva yakaparadzwa mauto okuZobha naDhavhidhi; vapanduki ava vakaenda kuDhamasiko, kwavakagara uye vakatonga.
and gathers men to himself, and is head of a troop in David’s slaying them, and they go to Damascus, and dwell in it, and reign in Damascus;
25 Rezoni akava muvengi weIsraeri kwoupenyu hwaSoromoni hwose, akapamhidzira padambudziko raikonzerwa naHadhadhi. Rezoni akatonga muAramu uye akanga achivenga Israeri.
and he is an adversary against Israel all the days of Solomon (besides the evil that Hadad [did]), and he cuts off in Israel, and reigns over Aram.
26 Jerobhoamu mwanakomana waNebhati akapandukirawo mambo. Aiva mumwe wamachinda aSoromoni, ari worudzi rwaEfuremu wokuZaredha, uye mai vake vainzi Zeruya vari chirikadzi.
And Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zereda—the name of whose mother [is] Zeruah, a widow woman—servant to Solomon, he also lifts up a hand against the king;
27 Heino nhoroondo yokupandukira mambo kwaakaita: Soromoni akavaka Miro, akagadzira pakanga paputsika murusvingo rweguta rababa vake Dhavhidhi.
and this [is] the thing [for] which he lifted up a hand against the king: Solomon built Millo—he shut up the breach of the city of his father David,
28 Zvino Jerobhoamu aiva murume wesimba noumhare, uye Soromoni akaona kuti jaya iri raishanda kwazvo akabva amuita mutariri wavashandi vose veimba yaJosefa.
and the man Jeroboam [is] mighty in valor, and Solomon sees that the young man is doing business, and appoints him over all the burden of the house of Joseph.
29 Zvino panguva iyoyo Jerobhoamu akati achibva muJerusarema, Ahija muprofita wokuShiro akasangana naye panzira, akapfeka jasi idzva nomucheka. Vaviri ava vaiva voga kusango,
And it comes to pass, at that time, that Jeroboam has gone out from Jerusalem, and Ahijah the Shilonite, the prophet, finds him in the way, and he is covering himself with a new garment; and both of them [are] by themselves in a field,
30 ipapo Ahija akatora jasi idzva romucheka raakanga akapfeka akaribvarura-bvarura kuita zvipenga gumi nezviviri.
and Ahijah lays hold on the new garment that [is] on him, and tears it [into] twelve pieces,
31 Ipapo akati kuna Jerobhoamu, “Zvitorere zvipenga gumi, nokuti zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, ‘Tarira, ndichabvarura umambo kubva muruoko rwaSoromoni ndigokupa marudzi gumi.
and says to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Behold, I am tearing the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and have given the ten tribes to you,
32 Asi nokuda kwomuranda wangu Dhavhidhi neguta reJerusarema, randakasarudza kubva pamarudzi ose aIsraeri, achava norudzi rumwe chete.
but he has the one tribe for My servant David’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake, the city which I have fixed on, out of all the tribes of Israel,
33 Ndichaita izvi nokuti vakandirasa vakanamata Ashitoreti, mwarikadzi wavaSidhoni, Kemoshi, mwari wavaMoabhu, naMoreki, mwari wavaAmoni, uye havana kufamba munzira dzangu, kana kuita zvakarurama pamberi pangu, kana kuchengeta mitemo yangu nemirayiro yangu sezvakaitwa naDhavhidhi, baba vaSoromoni.
because they have forsaken Me, and bow themselves to Ashtoreth, goddess of the Zidonians, to Chemosh god of Moab, and to Milcom god of the sons of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways, to do that which [is] right in My eyes, and My statutes and My judgments, like his father David.
34 “‘Asi handizobvisi umambo hwose kubva muruoko rwaSoromoni; ndamuita mutongi mazuva ose oupenyu hwake nokuda kwaDhavhidhi muranda wangu, wandakasarudza, akachengeta mirayiro yangu nemitemo yangu.
And I do not take the whole of the kingdom out of his hand, for I make him prince all [the] days of his life, for the sake of My servant David whom I chose, who kept My commands and My statutes;
35 Ndichatora umambo kubva mumaoko omwanakomana wake ndigokupa marudzi gumi.
and I have taken the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and given it to you—the ten tribes;
36 Ndichapa mwanakomana wake rudzi rumwe chete kuitira kuti Dhavhidhi muranda wangu arambe ane mwenje nguva dzose pamberi pangu muJerusarema, guta randakasarudza kuisa Zita rangu.
and to his son I give one tribe, for there being a lamp before Me for My servant David in Jerusalem [for] all the days, the city that I have chosen for Myself to put My Name there.
37 Zvisinei, kana uri iwe, ndichakutora, uye uchatonga pamusoro pezvose zvinodiwa nomwoyo wako; uchava mambo weIsraeri.
And I take you, and you have reigned over all that your soul desires, and you have been king over Israel;
38 Kana ukaita chipi nechipi chandicharayira uye ukafamba munzira dzangu ukaita zvakarurama pamberi pangu uye ukachengeta mitemo nemirayiro yangu, sezvakaita Dhavhidhi muranda wangu, ndichava newe. Ndichakuvakira imba seyandakavakira Dhavhidhi uye ndichakupa Israeri.
and it has been, if you hear all that I command you, and have walked in My ways, and done that which is right in My eyes, to keep My statutes and My commands, as My servant David did, that I have been with you, and have built a steadfast house for you, as I built for David, and have given Israel to you,
39 Ndichatambudza vana vaDhavhidhi nokuda kwenyaya iyi, asi kwete nokusingaperi.’”
and I humble the seed of David for this; only, not [for] all the days.”
40 Soromoni akaedza kuuraya Jerobhoamu, asi Jerobhoamu akatizira kuIjipiti, kuna mambo Shishaki, akagarako kusvikira Soromoni afa.
And Solomon seeks to put Jeroboam to death, and Jeroboam rises and flees to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and he is in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
41 Zvino mamwe mabasa aSoromoni, nezvose zvaakaita nouchenjeri hwake, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku renhoroondo dzegore negore dzaSoromoni?
And the rest of the matters of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written on the scroll of the matters of Solomon?
42 Soromoni akatonga Israeri yose muJerusarema kwamakore makumi mana.
And the days that Solomon has reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [are] forty years,
43 Ipapo akazorora namadzibaba ake akavigwa muguta raDhavhidhi baba vake. Ipapo Rehobhoamu mwanakomana wake akamutevera paumambo.
and Solomon lies with his fathers, and is buried in the city of his father David, and his son Rehoboam reigns in his stead.
