1 Ahemfo 11

1 Farao babaa no akyi no, ɔhene Salomo dɔɔ ananafoɔ mmaa bebree a na wɔyɛ Moabfoɔ, Amonfoɔ, Edomfoɔ, Sidonfoɔ ne Hetifoɔ.

Kabaka Sulemaani yayagala abakazi bannaggwanga bangi: Abamowaabu, n’Abamoni, n’Abayedomu, n’Abasidoni, n’Abakiiti, ng’okwo kw’ogasse muwala wa Falaawo,

2 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.

nga bava mu mawanga Mukama ge yayogerako ng’alabula Abayisirayiri nti, “Temufumbiriganwanga nabo kubanga tebalirema kukyusa mitima gyammwe okugoberera bakatonda baabwe.” Naye omutima gwa Sulemaani ne guwugulwa, era naabagala.

3 Na ɔwɔ yerenom ahanson ne mpenafoɔ ahasa. Na ampa ara wɔtwee ne ɔkra firii Awurade ho.

Sulemaani yalina abakyala lusanvu abambejja, n’abakazi abalala ebikumi bisatu, era abo bonna ne bamuwabya.

4 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.

Mu bisera bya Sulemaani eby’obukadde, bakyala be ne basendasenda omutima gwe okugoberera bakatonda abalala.

5 Salomo dii Sidonfoɔ nyamebaa Astoret ne Amonfoɔ nyame Molek a na wɔkyiri no no akyi.

N’atanula okusinza Asutoleesi katonda omukazi ow’Abasidoni, ne Mirukomu katonda ow’omuzizo ow’Abamoni.

6 Enti, Salomo yɛɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade ani so. Wanni Awurade akyi, sɛdeɛ nʼagya Dawid yɛeɛ no.

Sulemaani n’akola ebitaali bya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama n’atagobererera ddala Mukama, n’atakola nga Dawudi kitaawe bwe yakola.

7 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.

Sulemaani n’azimba ebifo ebigulumivu ku kasozi akali ebuvanjuba w’e Yerusaalemi, ng’abizimbira Kemosi katonda ow’omuzizo ow’Abamowaabu, ne Moleki katonda ow’omuzizo ow’Abamoni.

8 Salomo sisii abosonnan yi maa nʼananayerenom nyinaa, sɛ wɔnhye nnuhwam, na wɔmmɔ afɔdeɛ mma wɔn anyame wɔ hɔ.

Bakyala be bonna bannamawanga, abaayoterezanga obubaane eri bakatonda baabwe, nabo n’abakolera bw’atyo.

9 Na Awurade bo fuu Salomo, ɛfiri sɛ, nʼakoma adane afiri Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn, a wada ne ho adi akyerɛ no mprenu no ho.

Mukama n’asunguwalira Sulemaani kubanga omutima gwe gwava ku Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, eyamulabikira emirundi ebiri.

10 Ɔbɔɔ Salomo kɔkɔ sɛ ɔnni anyame foforɔ akyi, nanso Salomo anni Awurade ahyɛdeɛ so.

Newaakubadde nga Mukama yali alabudde Sulemaani obutagoberera bakatonda abalala, Sulemaani teyagondera kiragiro kya Mukama.

11 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.

Mukama kyeyava agamba Sulemaani nti, “Olw’empisa zo, n’obutakuuma ndagaano yange newaakubadde okugondera amateeka gange ge nakulagira, ndikuggyako obwakabaka, ne mbuwa omu ku baddu bo.

12 Nanso, ɛsiane wʼagya Dawid enti, merenyɛ saa ɛberɛ a wote ase. Mɛgye ahemman no afiri wo babarima nsam.

Naye olwa Dawudi kitaawo, ekyo sirikikola mu biro byo, ndikikola, mutabani wo atandise okufuga.

13 Ɛno mpo, mɛma wadi abusuakuo baako so, ɛsiane me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid ne kuropɔn Yerusalem a mayi asi hɔ no enti.”

Ate era sirimuggyako bwakabaka bwonna, naye ndimuwa ekika kimu ku lwa Dawudi omuddu wange, n’olwa Yerusaalemi, kye neerondera.”

14 Na Awurade pagyaa Edomni Hadad a na ɔfiri Edom adehyebusua mu, sɛ ɔnyɛ ɔtamfoɔ ntia Salomo.

Awo Mukama n’ayimusiza Sulemaani omulabe erinnya lye Kadadi Omwedomu, ow’olulyo olulangira mu Edomu.

15 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.

Emabegako Dawudi bwe yali alwana ne Edomu, Yowaabu omuduumizi w’eggye eyali agenze okuziika Abayisirayiri abaali battiddwa, yasigalayo n’atta abasajja bonna mu Edomu.

16 Yoab ne akodɔm no tenaa hɔ abosome nsia kunkumm wɔn.

Yowaabu n’Abayisirayiri bonna be yagenda nabo ne babeera eyo okumala emyezi mukaaga, okutuusa lwe baasaanyaawo abasajja bonna mu Edomu.

17 Nanso, Hadad ne nʼagya adehyeɛ ntuanofoɔ no mu kakra dwaneeɛ. (Saa ɛberɛ no na Hadad yɛ abɔfra ketewa bi.)

Naye Kadadi, ng’akyali mulenzi, yaddukira e Misiri n’abakungu abamu Abayedomu abaweerezanga kitaawe.

18 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.

Ne bagolokoka okuva mu Midiyaani okugenda e Palani. Ne bafuna abasajja okuva mu Palani, ne bagenda e Misiri, ewa Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri, eyamuwa ennyumba ne ttaka, era n’amuwanga n’emmere ey’okulya.

19 Farao pɛɛ Hadad asɛm yie, na ɔmaa no ɔyere a na ɔyɛ ɔhemmaa Tapanhes nuabaa.

Awo Kadadi n’alaba ekisa mu maaso ga Falaawo n’okumuwa n’amuwa mulamu we, muganda wa Tapenesi kaddulubaale, okumufumbirwa.

20 Ɔne no woo ɔbabarima a wɔtoo no edin Genubat, na wɔtetee no fraa Farao mmammarima mu wɔ Farao ahemfie.

Muganda wa Tapenesi n’azaalira Kadadi omwana wabulenzi n’amutuuma Genubasi, era Tapenesi n’amutwala mu lubiri okumulabirira. Genubasi n’akulira eyo wamu n’abaana ba Falaawo.

21 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.”

Kadadi bwe yali mu Misiri, n’awulira nti Dawudi yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe era nga ne Yowaabu omuduumizi w’eggye yafa, n’agamba Falaawo nti, “Ka nzireyo ewaffe mu nsi yange.”

22 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.”

Falaawo n’amubuuza nti, “Kiki ky’otofunye wano, ekikwagaza okuddayo mu nsi yo?” Kadadi n’amuddamu nti, “Tewali, naye nzikiriza ŋŋende.”

23 Onyankopɔn pagyaa Eliada babarima Reson nso ma ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔtamfoɔ tiaa Salomo. Reson dwane firii ne wura ɔhene Hadadeser a ɔfiri Soba nkyɛn

Katonda n’ayimusiza Sulemaani, omulabe omulala, erinnya lye Lezoni mutabani wa Eriyada, eyali adduse ku mukama we Kadadezeri kabaka w’e Zoba.

24 bɛyɛɛ adɔnyɛfoɔ panin. Dawid dii Hadadeser so nkonim no, Reson ne ne mmarima dwane kɔɔ Damasko, kɔdii ɔhene wɔ hɔ.

Dawudi bwe yatta eggye ly’e Zoba, Lezoni n’akuŋŋaanya abasajja abajeemu n’afuuka mukulu waabwe, n’addukira e Ddamasiko, n’akiwamba, n’abeera eyo nga gy’afugira.

25 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.

Yali mulabe wa Isirayiri ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwa Sulemaani, ng’okwo kw’otadde emitawaana Kadadi gye yaleetera Isirayiri. Lezoni n’addukira mu Alamu, era n’abeera mulabe wa Isirayiri omuzibu ennyo.

26 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.

Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, Omwefulayimu ow’e Zereda, nnyina nga ye nnamwandu wa Zeruwa, ate nga y’omu ku bakungu ba Sulemaani, n’ajeemera kabaka.

27 Nʼatuateɛ no asekyerɛ nie: Na Salomo rekyekyere Milo, na ɔgu so resiesie nʼagya Dawid kuro no afasuo no,

Eno y’engeri gye yajeemeramu kabaka: Sulemaani yali azimbye obusenge obuwagika, ng’azibye ebituli ebyali mu bbugwe ow’ekibuga kya Dawudi kitaawe.

28 na Yeroboam yɛ nsiyɛfoɔ. Salomo hunuu no sɛ ɔyɛ ɔdeyɛfoɔ no, ɔde no tuaa adwumayɛfoɔ a wɔfiri Efraim ne Manase mmusuakuo mu no ano.

Yerobowaamu yali musajja mwesimbu, era Sulemaani bwe yalaba omulimu gwe omulungi, n’amusiima n’amufuula omukulu w’emirimu gyonna egy’amaanyi mu nnyumba ya Yusufu.

29 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.

Awo mu biro ebyo Yerobowaamu bwe yali ng’ava mu Yerusaalemi, n’asisinkana Akiya nnabbi w’e Siiro ng’ayambadde ekyambalo ekiggya, baali bokka ku ttale.

30 Ɛhɔ na Ahiya worɔɔ nʼatadeɛ foforɔ a na ɛhyɛ no no, tetee mu asinasini dumienu.

Akiya n’addira ekyambalo kye n’akiyuzaamu ebitundu kkumi na bibiri.

31 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.

N’agamba Yerobowaamu nti, “Weetwalire ebitundu kkumi, kubanga bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Laba, ŋŋenda kuggya ku Sulemaani obwakabaka, nkuweeko ebika kkumi.

32 Na ɛsiane me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid ne Yerusalem a mayi afiri Israel mmusuakuo no nyinaa mu no enti, mɛgya no abusua baako.

Naye olw’omuddu wange Dawudi n’ekibuga Yerusaalemi, kye neerondera mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri, alisigazaako ekika kimu.

33 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.

Kino ndikikola kubanga banvuddeko ne basinza Asutoleesi katonda omukazi ow’Abamoni, ne batatambulira mu kkubo lyange, wadde okukola ebituufu mu maaso gange newaakubadde okugondera ebiragiro byange oba amateeka gange, nga Dawudi kitaawe wa Sulemaani bwe yakola.

34 “‘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.

“‘Naye Sulemaani sirimuggyako bwakabaka bwonna, wabula ndimuleka nga y’afuga ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe olw’omuddu wange Dawudi, gwe nalonda era eyagondera amateeka n’ebiragiro byange.

35 Na mɛgye ahemman no afiri ne babarima nsam, na mede mmusuakuo no mu edu ama wo.

Ndiggya obwakabaka ku mutabani wa Sulemaani, ne nkuwa ebika kkumi.

36 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.

Ekika ekimu ndikiwa mutabani we, omuddu wange Dawudi abeerenga n’ettabaaza mu maaso gange mu Yerusaalemi, ekibuga kye neeroboza olw’erinnya lyange.

37 Na mede wo bɛsi Israel ahennwa no so, na wobɛdi adeɛ no sɛdeɛ wʼankasa wʼakoma pɛ.

Wabula, ggwe ndikutwala, era olifuga wonna omutima gwo gye gulisiima, era olibeera kabaka wa Isirayiri.

38 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.

Bw’onoogonderanga byonna bye nkulagira n’otambuliranga mu makubo gange, era n’okolanga ebituufu mu maaso gange ng’okugonderanga ebiragiro n’amateeka gange, nga Dawudi omuddu wange bwe yakola, nnaabeeranga naawe. Ndikukolera ekika eky’enkalakkalira, nga kye nakolera Dawudi, era ndikuwa ne Isirayiri.

39 Nanso, ɛsiane Salomo bɔne a wayɛ enti, mɛtwe Dawid asefoɔ aso, nanso ɛrenyɛ afebɔɔ.’”

Kyendiva nzikakkanya ezzadde lya Dawudi, naye si bbanga lyonna.’”

40 Salomo pɛɛ sɛ ɔkum Yeroboam, nanso ɔdwane kɔɔ Misraim, Misraimhene Sisak nkyɛn, kɔsii sɛ Salomo wuiɛ.

Sulemaani n’agezaako okutta Yerobowaamu, naye Yerobowaamu n’addukira e Misiri, ewa Sisaki kabaka waayo, n’abeera eyo okutuusa Sulemaani bwe yafa.

41 Na Salomo ahennie ho nsɛm nkaeɛ, deɛ ɔyɛeɛ ne ne nyansa no deɛ, wɔatwerɛ wɔ Salomo Ho Nsɛm Nwoma no mu.

Ebyo byonna ebyabaawo ku mulembe gwa Sulemaani, ne byonna bye yakola, n’amagezi ge yalaga, byawandiikibwa mu bitabo eby’ebyafaayo ebya Sulemaani.

42 Salomo dii ɔhene wɔ Yerusalem ne Israel nyinaa so mfirinhyia aduanan.

Sulemaani yafuga Isirayiri yonna ng’ali mu Yerusaalemi okumala emyaka amakumi ana.

43 Ɛberɛ a Salomo wuiɛ no, wɔsiee no wɔ nʼagya Dawid kurom. Na ne babarima Rehoboam na ɔdii nʼadeɛ sɛ ɔhene foforɔ.

N’afa n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi kitaawe. Awo Lekobowaamu mutabani we n’amusikira.
