1 Mga Hari 11
1 Ngayon nagmahal si Solomon ng maraming dayuhang babae: ang anak na babae ng Paraon, mga babaeng Moabita, Ammonita, Edomita, Sidomita at mga babaeng Heteo—
King Solomon married many foreign women. First he married the daughter of the king of Egypt. He also married women from the Heth people-group and from the Moab, Ammon, and Edom people-groups, and from Sidon [city].
2 mga bansang nauukol kung saan sinabi ni Yahweh sa bansang Israel, “Huwag kayong pupunta sa kanila para mag-asawa o ni isa sa kanila ay pupunta sa inyo, dahil tiyak na ibabaling nila ang inyong puso sa kanilang mga diyos.” Pero minahal ni Solomon ang mga babaeng ito.
He married them even though Yahweh had commanded the Israeli people, “Do not marry people from those areas, because if you do that, they will surely persuade you [IDM] to worship the gods that they worship!”
3 Nagkaroon si Solomon ng pitong-daang maharlikang asawa at tatlong-daang iba pang kinakasama. Inilayo ng kaniyang mga asawa ang kaniyang puso.
Solomon married 700 women who were kings’ daughters. He also had 300 wives who were his slaves/servants. And his wives caused him to turn away [from worshiping God].
4 Dahil noong tumanda si Solomon, iniligaw ng kaniyang mga asawa ang kaniyang puso sa ibang diyos; ang kaniyang puso ay hindi niya lubos na isinuko kay Yahweh na kaniyang Diyos, gaya ng kaniyang amang si David.
By the time that Solomon became old, they had persuaded him to worship the gods from their countries. He was not completely dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God like his father [SYN] David had been.
5 Sinunod ni Solomon si Astarte, ang diyosa ng mga Sidonio, at sumunod siya kay Milcom, ang kasuklam-suklam na diyus-diyosan ng mga Amonita.
Solomon worshiped Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon [worshiped], and he worshiped Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].
6 Gumawa si Solomon ng kasamaan sa paningin ni Yahweh; hindi siya lubusang sumunod kay Yahweh, tulad nang nagawa ng kaniyang amang si David.
That’s how Solomon did things that Yahweh said were evil. He did not conduct his life like his father David had done; he did not conduct his life as Yahweh wanted him to.
7 Pagkatapos nagpatayo si Solomon ng isang dambana para kay Cemos, ang kasuklam-suklam na diyus-diyosan ng Moab, sa burol na nasa silangan ng Jerusalem, at para din kay Molec, ang kasuklam-suklam na diyus-diyosan ng mga Ammonita.
On the hill to the east of Jerusalem he built a place to worship Chemosh, the disgusting god that the Moab people-group [worshiped], and a place to worship Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].
8 Nagtayo rin siya ng mga dambana para sa lahat ng kaniyang mga dayuhang asawa, na nagsunog ng mga insenso at nag-alay para sa kanilang mga diyos.
He also built places where all his foreign wives could burn incense and offer sacrifices to the gods from their own countries.
9 Nagalit si Yahweh kay Solomon, dahil tumalikod ang kaniyang puso sa kaniya, na Diyos ng Israel, kahit na nagpakita sa kaniya ng dalawang ulit
Even though Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped], had appeared to Solomon two times, and had commanded him to not worship foreign gods, Solomon refused to obey Yahweh. So Yahweh was angry with Solomon,
10 at nag-utos sa kaniya tungkol sa mismong bagay na ito, na hindi siya dapat maglingkod sa ibang diyos. Subalit hindi sinunod ni Solomon kung ano ang inutos ni Yahweh.
11 Kaya sinabi ni Yahweh kay Solomon, “Dahil nagawa mo ito at hindi mo sinunod ang aking tipan at aking mga alituntunin na inutos ko sa iyo, tiyak na pipilasin ko ang kaharian mula sa iyo at ibibigay ko ito sa iyong lingkod.
and said to him, “You have chosen to break the agreement that I made with you and to disobey what I commanded you. So I am surely not going to allow you to rule all of your kingdom. I am going to allow one of your officials to rule it.
12 Subalit, alang-alang sa iyong amang si David, hindi ko ito gagawin habang ikaw ay nabubuhay, pero sisirain ko ito sa kamay ng iyong anak na lalaki.
But, because of [what I promised] your father David, I will allow you to rule all your kingdom while you are still [living]. [After you die], I will not allow your son to rule the whole kingdom [MTY].
13 Gayon man, hindi ko sisirain ang buong kaharian; Ibibigay ko ang isang lipi sa iyong anak alang-alang sa aking lingkod na si David, at para sa kapakanan ng Jerusalem, na aking pinili.”
But I will not take all the kingdom away from him. Instead, I will allow him to rule one tribe [besides the tribe of Judah], because of what I promised to David, who served me [well], and because [I want David’s descendants to rule in] Jerusalem, [where my temple is located].”
14 Pagkatapos ay nagtayo si Yahweh ng kakalaban kay Solomon, si Hadad na Idumeo. Siya ay nagmula sa maharlikang angkan ng Edom.
Yahweh caused Hadad, from the family of the kings in the Edom people-group, to rebel against Solomon.
15 Noong si David ay nasa Edom, si Joab na pinuno ng mga kawal ay nagpunta para ilibing ang mga patay, bawat taong napatay sa Edom.
What happened was that previously, when David’s [army] had conquered the Edom people-group, his army commander Joab had gone there to [help] bury the [Israeli soldiers] who had been killed [in the battle]. Joab and his army remained in the Edom area for six months, and during that time they killed all the males of that area.
16 Si Joab at ang buong Israel ay nanatili doon ng anim na buwan hanggang sa mapatay niya ang bawat kalalakihan sa Edom.
17 Ngunit si Hadad ay dinala ng mga lingkod ng kaniyang ama sa Ehipto kasama ng iba pang mga Idumeo, dahil si Hadad ay isa pa lamang maliit na bata.
Hadad was a young child [at that time], and he had escaped to Egypt, along with some of his father’s servants from the Edom area.
18 Umalis sila sa Midian at nagpunta sa Paran, mula kung saan kasama nilang dinala ang mga kalalakihan patungo sa Ehipto, sa Paraon na hari ng Ehipto, na nagbigay sa kaniya ng isang bahay, lupa at pagkain.
They [went to the] Midian [region], and then they went to [the desert area at] Paran. Some other men joined them there. Then they all traveled to Egypt and went to see the king of Egypt. The king gave Hadad some land and ordered his servants to give him some food regularly.
19 Nalugod ang Paraon kay Hadad kaya binigyan siya ng Paraon ng asawa, ang kapatid ng sarili niyang asawa, ang kapatid na babae ng reyna na si Tapenes.
The king liked Hadad. As a result he gave him the sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, to be Hadad’s wife.
20 Isinilang ng kapatid ni Tapenes ang anak na lalaki ni Hadad; Pinangalanan nila siyang Genubat; Siya ay pinalaki ni Tapenes sa palasyo ng Paraon. Kaya namuhay si Genubat sa palasyo ng Paraon kasama ang mga anak ng Paraon.
Later Hadad’s wife gave birth to a son named Genubath. The sister of Tahpenes (raised him/brought him up) in the palace, where he lived with the king’s sons.
21 Noong mabalitaan ni Hadad na tulog na si David kasama ang kaniyang mga ninuno, at si Joab na pinuno ng hukbo ay patay na, sinabi ni Hadad sa Paraon, “Pahintulutan mo akong umalis para pumunta sa aking sariling bansa.”
While Hadad was in Egypt, he heard that David had died [EUP], and that Joab, the commander of David’s army, was also dead. So he said to the king of Egypt, “Please allow me to return to my own country.”
22 At sinabi sa kaniya ng Paraon, “Pero ano pa ang kulang mo sa akin na gustuhin mo pang bumalik sa iyong sariling bansa?” Sumagot si Hadad, “Wala, hayaan mo lang akong umalis.”
But the king said to him, “Why do you want to go back to your country? Is there something that you lack that you want me to give to you?” Hadad replied, “No, but please just allow me to go.” [So the king allowed him to leave, and he returned to his own country and became the king of Edom].
23 Nagtayo muli ang Diyos ng isa pang katunggali kay Solomon, si Rezon na anak na lalaki ni Eliada, na tumakas mula sa kaniyang panginoon na si Hadadezer, hari ng Zoba.
God also caused another man named Rezon, the son of Eliada, to rebel against Solomon. Rezon had run away from his master, King Hadadezer of [the] Zobah [area north of Damascus].
24 Nagtipon si Rezon ng mga kalalakihan at naging kapitan ng isang maliit na puwersa, noong tinalo ni David ang mga kalalakihan ng Zoba. Nagpunta ang mga tauhan ni Zoba sa Damasco at nanirahan doon, at napailalim kay Rezon ang Damasco.
Rezon then became the leader of a group of outlaws. That happened after David’s [army had defeated Hadadezer and] had [also] killed all [his soldiers]. Rezon and his men went to Damascus and started to live there, and [the people there] appointed him to be their king.
25 Siya ay naging kaaway ng Israel sa lahat ng panahon ng paghahari ni Solomon, kasama ng mga kaguluhan na idinulot ni Hadad. Kinasuklaman ni Rezon ang Israel at naghari siya sa Aram.
All during the time that Solomon was alive, while Rezon was ruling [not only Damascus but all of] Syria, he was an enemy of Israel and caused trouble for Israel like Hadad did.
26 At si Jeroboam na anak na lalaki ni Nebat, isang Efraimita na taga Sereda, isang opisyal ni Solomon, na ang pangalan ng kaniyang ina ay Serua, isang babaeng balo, ay nagtaas din ng kaniyang kamay laban sa hari.
Another man who rebelled against [IDM] Solomon was one of his officials named Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. He was from Zeredah [town] in [the region where the tribe of] Ephraim [lives]. His mother was a widow named Zeruah.
27 Ang dahilan kung bakit nagrebelde siya laban sa hari ay dahil itinayo ni Solomon ang Millo at inayos ang lagusan ng pader sa lungsod ni David na kaniyang ama.
This is what happened. Solomon’s workers were filling in the land/ground on the east side of Jerusalem and repairing the walls [around the city].
28 Si Jeroboam ay isang lalaking malakas at matapang. Nakita ni Solomon ang binata na masipag, kaya ibinigay sa kaniya ang pamamahala sa lahat ng gawain sa tahanan ni Jose.
Jeroboam was a very capable young man. So, when Solomon saw that he worked very hard, he appointed him to supervise all the men who were forced to work in the areas where the tribes of Manasseh and Ephraim live.
29 Sa panahong iyon, nang lumabas si Jeroboam sa Jerusalem, natagpuan siya ni propetang Ahias sa daan. Ngayon nagbihis si Ahias ng bagong kasuotan, at ang dalawang lalaki ang tanging nasa bukid.
One day when Jeroboam was walking alone along the road outside of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh [city] met him. Ahijah was wearing a new robe,
30 Pagkatapos ay dinakma ni Ahias ang bagong kasuotan na nasa kaniya, at pinunit ito ng labing-dalawang piraso.
which he took off and tore into twelve pieces.
31 Sinabi niya kay Jeroboam, “kumuha ka ng sampung piraso, dahil si Yahweh na Diyos ng Israel, sinasabi niya, 'Pagmasdan mo, pipilasin ko ang kaharian at aalisin sa kamay ni Solomon, at ibibigay ko ang sampung lipi sa iyo
He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten of these pieces for yourself, because Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says to you, ‘I am going to tear the kingdom from Solomon, and I am going to enable you to become the ruler of ten of the tribes [of Israel].
32 (subalit magkakaroon si Solomon ng isang lipi, alang-alang sa lingkod kong si David at alang-alang sa Jerusalem, ang lungsod na aking pinili mula sa lahat ng lipi ng Israel),
Solomon’s [descendants] will still rule one tribe (OR, two tribes), because of [what I promised] David, a man who served me [very well], and because of Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen from all the cities in Israel [to be the city where my people will worship me].
33 dahil iniwanan nila ako at sinamba nila si Astarte, ang babaeng diyus-diyosan ng mga Sidonita, kay Cemos ang diyos ng mga Moabita, at kay Milcom ang diyos ng mga mamamayan ng mga Ammonita. Hindi sila lumakad ayon sa aking kaparaanan, para gawin ang mabuti sa aking paningin, at para sundin ang aking mga utos at mga tuntunin gaya ng ginawa ng kaniyang ama na si David.
I am going to do this because Solomon has rejected me and has been worshiping Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon worship, Chemosh, the god that the Moab people-group worship, and Milcom, the god that the Ammon people-group worship. He has not conducted his life as I wanted him to. He has not obeyed my statutes and laws, like his father David did.
34 Ngunit, hindi ko aalisin ang buong kaharian sa kamay ni Solomon. Sa halip, gagawin ko siyang hari sa lahat ng araw ng kaniyang buhay, alang-alang sa aking lingkod na si David na aking pinili, na siyang nag-ingat sa aking mga kautusan at mga tuntunin.
‘But I will not take the entire kingdom away from him. I will enable him to rule [Judah] all during the years that he is alive. I will do that because of [what I promised to do for] David, whom I chose [to be the king], and who served me [well], and who always obeyed my commandments and laws.
35 Ngunit kukunin ko ang kaharian mula sa kamay ng kaniyang anak, at ibibigay ko ito sa iyo, ang sampung mga lipi.
But I will take the [other] ten tribes of his kingdom and give them to you [to rule].
36 Ibibigay ko ang isang lipi sa anak na lalaki ni Solomon, para ang aking lingkod na si David ay magkakaroon lagi ng ilaw sa harapan ko sa Jerusalem, ang lungsod kung saan pinili kong ilagay ang aking pangalan.
I will allow Solomon’s son to rule one tribe, in order that descendants [MET] of David will always rule in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen to be the place where [my people worship] me [MTY].
37 Kukunin kita, at ikaw ay mamumuno at tutupad sa lahat ng hangarin mo, at ikaw ay magiging hari ng buong Israel.
I will enable you to become the king of Israel, and you will rule over all the territory that you want to.
38 Kung pakikinggan mo ang lahat na aking ipag-uutos sa iyo, at kung lalakad ka sa aking mga landas, at kung gagawin mo kung ano ang mabuti sa aking paningin, para ingatan ang mga tuntunin at mga kautusan, gaya ng ginawa ng aking lingkod na si David, sa gayon ay sasamahan kita at ipagtatayo kita ng totoong tahanan, gaya ng itinayo ko para kay David, at ang Israel ay ibibigay ko sa iyo.
If you obey all that I command you to do, and conduct your life as I want you to, and if you do what I say is right by obeying my laws and commandments like David did, I will help you. I will make sure that your descendants will rule after you [die], like I [promised to] do for David.
39 Paparusahan ko ang mga kaapu-apuhan ni David, pero hindi habang panahon.”
Because of [Solomon’s sins], I will punish David’s descendants, but I will not continue to punish them forever.’”
40 Kaya pinagsikapang patayin ni Solomon si Jeroboam, ngunit tumindig si Jeroboam at tumakas papuntang Ehipto, kay Shishak, hari ng Ehipto, at nanatili siya sa Ehipto hanggang sa pagkamatay ni Solomon.
Solomon [found out what Ahijah told Jeroboam], so he tried to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam escaped and went to Egypt. He went to Shishak, the king of Egypt, and stayed with him until after Solomon died.
41 Para sa ibang mga bagay tungkol kay Solomon, lahat ng kaniyang mga ginawa at ang kaniyang karunungan, hindi ba nakasulat ang mga ito sa Aklat ng mga Kaganapan sa Buhay ni Solomon?
[A record of] all the other things that Solomon did, and all the wise things that he [said and wrote], was written in the Book Telling what Solomon Did.
42 Naghari si Solomon sa buong Israel sa loob ng apatnapung taon.
He was the king in Jerusalem who ruled over all of Israel for 40 years.
43 Natulog siya kasama ang kaniyang mga ninuno, at inilibing siya sa lungsod ng kaniyang amang si David. Ang kaniyang anak na lalaki na si Rehoboam ang humalili sa kaniya bilang hari.
Then Solomon died [EUP], and was buried in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. And his son Rehoboam became the king.
