1 Kings 11
1 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].
Fa Solomona mpanjaka tia vehivavy maro hafa firenena, fa tsy ilay zanakavavin’ i Farao ihany, dia vehivavy Moabita sy Amonita sy Edomita sy Sidoniana ary Hetita,
2 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!”
dia vehivavy avy amin’ ny firenena izay nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Tsy hanambady azy ianareo, ary izy tsy hanambady anareo, fa hampivily ny fonareo hanaraka ny andriamaniny tokoa izy; kanjo tamin’ ireo no niraiketan’ ny fitiavan’ i Solomona.
3 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].
Ary dia nanana vady andriambavy fiton-jato sy vaditsindrano telonjato izy, ka nampivily ny fony ireo vadiny ireo.
4 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.
Fa nony efa antitra Solomona, dia navilin’ ny vadiny ny fony hanaraka andriamani-kafa, ka ny fony tsy mba nahitsy tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny tahaka ny fon’ i Davida rainy.
5 Solomon worshiped Astarte, the goddess that the people of Sidon [worshiped], and he worshiped Molech, the disgusting god that the Ammon people-group [worshiped].
Fa Solomona nanaraka an’ i Astarta, andriamani-bavin’ ny Sidoniana, sy Milkoma, fahavetavetan’ ny Amonita.
6 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.
Ary Solomona nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah, ka tsy mba tanteraka tamin’ ny fanarahana Azy tahaka an’ i Davida rainy.
7 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].
Ary tamin’ izany Solomona dia nanao fitoerana avo ho an’ i Kemosy, fahavetavetan’ i Moaba, teo amin’ ny havoana tandrifin’ i Jerosalema, ary ho an’ i Moloka, fahavetavetan’ ny taranak’ i Amona.
8 He also built places where all his foreign wives could burn incense and offer sacrifices to the gods from their own countries.
Ary toy izany koa no nataony ho an’ izay vadiny hafa firenena rehetra, izay nandoro ditin-kazo manitra sy namono zavatra hatao fanatitra ho an’ ny andriamaniny.
9 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,
Ary Jehovah tezitra tamin’ i Solomona noho ny nivilian’ ny fony niala tamin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izay efa niseho taminy indroa
sady efa nandidy azy ny amin’ izany zavatra izany tsy hanaraka andriamani-kafa; nefa tsy nitandrina izay nandidian’ i Jehovah izy.
11 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.
Ka dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Solomona: Satria efa tonga ao am-ponao izao, ka tsy notandremanao ny fanekeko sy ny didiko izay nandidiako anao, dia hendahako ho afaka aminao tokoa ny fanjakana ka homeko ny mpanomponao.
12 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].
Kanefa kosa tsy hataoko amin’ ny andronao izany noho ny amin’ i Davida rainao; fa rehefa mby amin’ ny zanakao vao hendahako aminy.
13 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].”
Nefa tsy dia hendahako avokoa ny fanjakana rehetra, fa mba homeko firenena iray ihany ny zanakao noho ny amin’ i Davida mpanompoko sy Jerosalema izay nofidiko.
14 Yahweh caused Hadad, from the family of the kings in the Edom people-group, to rebel against Solomon.
Ary Jehovah nanangana fahavalo hanohitra an’ i Solomona, dia Hadada Edomita, tamingan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma.
15 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.
Fa rehefa nanafika an’ i Edoma Davida, ary Joaba, komandin’ ny miaramila, niakatra handevina ny maty ary efa namono ny lehilahy rehetra tany
(fa enim-bolana no nitoeran’ i Joaba sy ny Isiraely rehetra tany Edoma mandra-pandringany ny lehilahy rehetra tany),
17 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.
dia nandositra Hadada sy ny Edomita, sasany mpanompon-drainy izay nanaraka azy ka nankany Egypta; fa mbola zazalahy kely Hadada tamin’ izay.
18 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.
Ary niainga niala tany Midiana ireo ka tonga tany Parana; dia naka olona avy tany Parana homba azy izy ka nankany Egypta ho any amin’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, izay nanome azy trano sy tany sady nilaza hanome hanina azy koa.
19 The king liked Hadad. As a result he gave him the sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, to be Hadad’s wife.
Ary Hadada nahita fitia fatratra teo imason’ i Farao, ka dia ny rahavavin’ i Tapanesa, vadin’ ny mpanjaka, no nomeny ho vadiny.
20 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.
Ary ny rahavavin’ i Tapanesa niteraka zazalahy tamin’ i Hadada, dia Genobata, izay notazan’ i Tapanesa tao an-tranon’ i Farao; ary Genobata niara-nitoetra tamin’ ny zanakalahin’ i Farao tao an-dapa.
21 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.”
Ary rehefa ren’ i Hadada tany Egypta fa Davida lasa nody mandry any amin’ ny razany, sady maty koa Joaba, komandin’ ny miaramila, dia hoy izy tamin’ i Farao: Alefaso aho hody any amin’ ny tanin-drazako.
22 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].
Fa hoy Farao taminy: Fa inona moa no zavatra mahory anao atỳ amiko, no dia mitady hody any amin’ ny tanin-drazanao indray ianao? Ary hoy ny navaliny: Tsy misy mahory ahy tsy akory; nefa alefaso ihany aho.
23 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].
Ary Andriamanitra nanangana fahavalo koa hanohitra an’ i Solomona, dia Rezona, zanak’ i Eliada, izay efa nandositra an’ i Hadadezera tompony, mpanjakan’ i Zoba.
24 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.
Dia namory olona maro ho ao aminy izy ka tonga kapiteniny tamin’ ny namonoan’ i Davida ny olona tany Zoba; ary nankany Damaskosy izy sy ny namany ka nitoetra sy nanjaka tao.
25 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.
Ary izy koa dia fahavalon’ ny Isiraely tamin’ ny andron’ i Solomona rehetra ka nanampy ny ratsy izay nataon’ i Hadada; eny, nankahala ny Isiraely izy ary nanjaka tany Syria.
26 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.
Ary Jerobeama, zanak’ i Nebata, Efraimita avy any Zareda, mpanompon’ i Solomona (Zeroa no anaran-dreniny, vehivavy mpitondratena), dia nanainga tanàna hikomy tamin’ ny mpanjaka.
27 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].
Ary izao no fototry ny nanaingany tanàna hikomy tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Solomona nanorina an’ i Milo ary nanampina ny lohasaha tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida rainy;
28 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.
ary Jeroboama dia lehilahy mahay; koa nony hitan’ i Solomona fa zatovo mahavita raharaha izy, dia nataony mpifehy ny taranak’ i Josefa tamin’ ny fanompoany rehetra.
29 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,
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany, raha nivoa: ka avy tany Jerosalema Jeroboama, dia nahita azy teny an-dalana Ahia Silonita mpaminany; ary Ahia nitafy lamba vaovao, ary izy roa lahy ihany no tany an-tsaha.
30 which he took off and tore into twelve pieces.
Dia noraisin’ i Ahia ny lamba vaovao-izay notafiny, ka notriatriariny ho roa ambin’ ny folo.
31 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].
Ary hoy izy tamin’ i Jeroboama: Raiso ho anao ny tapatapany folo; fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Indro, Izaho efa hanendaka ny fanjakana ho afaka amin’ ny tànan’ i Solomona, ary homeko anao ny firenena folo
32 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].
(nefa ny firenena iray dia i mbola havela ho azy ihany noho ny amin’ i Davida mpamompoko sy Jerosalema, tanàna izay nofidiko tamin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely),
33 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.
satria efa nahafoy Ahy izy ka niankohoka teo anatrehan’ i Astarta, andriamani-bavin’ ny Sidoniana, sy Kemosy andriamanitr’ i Moaba, ary Milkoma, andriamanitry ny taranak’ i Amona, fa tsy nandeha tamin’ ny lalako hanao izay mahitsy eo imasoko sy hitandrina ny didiko sy ny fitsipiko tahaka an’ i Davida rainy.
34 ‘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.
Nefa tsy hesoriko eo an-tanany avokoa ny fanjakana rehetra; fa hampitoeriko ho mpanjaka ihany izy amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainany noho ny amin’ i Davida mpanompoko izay nofidiko, satria izy nitandrina ny lalàko sy ny didiko;
35 But I will take the [other] ten tribes of his kingdom and give them to you [to rule].
fa hesoriko eo an-tànan’ ny zanany kosa ny fanjakana ka homeko anao, nefa ny firenena folo ihany.
36 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].
Fa firenena iray no homeko ny zanany, mba hisy fanilo ho an’ i Davida mpanompoko eo anatrehako mandrakariva any Jerosalema, tanàna izay nofidiko ho Ahy hametrahana ny anarako.
37 I will enable you to become the king of Israel, and you will rule over all the territory that you want to.
Ary ianao no halaiko, ka hanjaka amin’ izay rehetra irin’ ny fanahinao ary ho mpanjaka amin’ ny Isiraely.
38 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.
Ary raha mihaino izay rehetra andidiako anao ianao ka mandeha amin’ ny lalako ary manao izay mahitsy eo imasoko ka mitandrina ny didiko sy ny lalàko tahaka izay nataon’ i Davida mpanompoko, dia ho aminao Aho ka hampaharitra ny taranakao, tahaka izay nataoko ho an’ i Davida, ary homeko anao ny Isiraely.
39 Because of [Solomon’s sins], I will punish David’s descendants, but I will not continue to punish them forever.’”
Ary hampietry ny taranak’ i Davida kosa Aho noho izany, nefa tsy ho mandrakizay.
40 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.
Ary Solomona nitady hamono an’ i Jeroboama. Fa Jeroboama niainga, dia nandositra nankany Egypta ho any amin’ i Sisaka, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, ka nitoetra tany mandra-pahafatin’ i Solomona.
41 [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.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Solomona sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony ary ny fahendreny, tsy voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ i Solomona va izany?
42 He was the king in Jerusalem who ruled over all of Israel for 40 years.
Ary ny andro nanjakan’ i Solomona tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra tany Jerosalema dia efa-polo taona.
43 Then Solomon died [EUP], and was buried in the [part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. And his son Rehoboam became the king.
Ary Solomona lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida rainy izy; ary Rehoboama zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
