Kings III 11
1 And king Solomon was a lover of women. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. And he took strange women, as well as the daughter of Pharao, Moabitish, Ammanitish women, Syrians and Idumeans, Chettites, and Amorites;
Ka naʻe ʻofa ʻa Solomone ki he kau fefine tokolahi ʻoe kakai kehe, fakataha mo e ʻofefine ʻo Felo, ko e kau fefine mei Moape, mo ʻAmoni, mo ʻItomi, mo Saitoni, pea mo Heti;
2 of the nations concerning whom the Lord forbade the children of Israel, [saying], You shall not go in to them, and they shall not come in to you, lest they turn away your hearts after their idols: Solomon clave to these in love.
Ko e ngaahi puleʻanga naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻE ʻikai te mou hū atu kiate kinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau hū mai kiate kimoutolu: he ko e moʻoni te nau liliu homou loto ke muimui ki honau ngaahi ʻotua: naʻe pikitai ʻa Solomone kiate kinautolu ni ʻi he mamana ki ai.
Pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻae uaifi ʻe fitungeau naʻe ʻeiki lahi, pea mo e sinifu ʻe toko tolungeau: pea naʻe fakatafoki hono loto ʻe hono ngaahi uaifi.
4 And it came to pass in the time of the old age of Solomon, that his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as [was] the heart of David his father. And the strange women turned away his heart after their gods. Then Solomon built a high place to Chamos the idol of Moab, and to their king the idol of the children of Ammon,
He naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fakaʻaʻau ʻo motuʻa ʻa Solomone, naʻe fakatafoki ʻa hono loto ʻe hono ngaahi uaifi ke muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe: pea naʻe ʻikai haohaoa hono loto ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko e loto ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai.
5 and to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians.
He naʻe muimui ʻa Solomone ki he ʻotua fefine ʻoe kakai Saitoni ko ʻAsitelote, pea kia Milikomi ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻae kakai ʻAmoni.
6 And thus he acted towards all his strange wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their idols. And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he went not after the Lord, as David his father.
Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻa Solomone ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai muimui haohaoa ia kia Sihova, ʻo hangē ko Tevita ko ʻene tamai.
Pea naʻe langa ai ʻe Solomone ha potu māʻolunga kia Kimosi, ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻa Moape, ʻi he moʻunga ʻoku hanga ki Selūsalema, pea maʻa Moleki, ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
Pea naʻa ne fai pehē foki maʻa hono ngaahi uaifi mei he kakai kehe, ʻaia naʻe tutu meʻa namu kakala mo fai feilaulau ki honau ngaahi ʻotua.
9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because he turned away his heart from the Lord God of Israel, who had appeared twice to him,
Pea naʻe houhau ʻa Sihova kia Solomone, koeʻuhi naʻe fakatafoki ʻa hono loto meia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe ha tuʻo ua mai kiate ia,
10 and charged him concerning this matter, by no means to go after other gods, but to take heed to do what the Lord God commanded him; neither was his heart perfect with the Lord, according to the heart of David his father.
Mo ne tuku ʻae fekau kiate ia koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni, ke ʻoua naʻa ne muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe: ka naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe ia ki he meʻa naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova.
11 And the Lord said to Solomon, Because it has been thus with you, and you have not kept my commandments and my ordinances which I commanded you, I will surely rend your kingdom out of your hand, and give it to your servant.
Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova kia Solomone, “Koeʻuhi kuo ke fai eni ʻe koe, pea kuo ʻikai te ke fai ki heʻeku fuakava mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia kuo u fekau kiate koe, ko e moʻoni te u hae ʻae puleʻanga meiate koe, pea te u foaki ia ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
12 Only in your days I will not do it for David your father's sake: [but] I will take it out of the hand of your son.
Ka koeʻuhi ko hoʻo tamai ko Tevita ʻe ʻikai te u fai ia ʻi ho ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻou: ka te u hae atu ia mei he nima ʻo ho foha.
13 Only I will not take away the whole kingdom: I will give one tribe to your son for David my servant's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen.
Ka ʻe ʻikai foki te u hae atu ʻae puleʻanga kātoa; ka te u foaki ʻae faʻahinga ʻe taha ki ho foha, koeʻuhi ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, pea koeʻuhi ko Selūsalema ʻaia kuo u fili.”
14 And the Lord raised up an enemy to Solomon, Ader the Idumaean, and Esrom son of Eliadae who [lived] in Raama, [and] Adadezer king of Suba his master; (and men gathered to him, and he was head of the conspiracy, and he seized on Damasec, ) and they were adversaries to Israel all the days of Solomon: and Ader the Idumaean [was] of the seed royal in Idumaea.
Pea naʻe ueʻi hake ʻe Sihova ha fili kia Solomone, ko Hatati ko e tangata ʻItomi: naʻa ne ʻoe hako ʻoe tuʻi ʻi ʻItomi.
15 And it happened, that while David was utterly destroying Edom, while Joab captain of the host was going to bury the dead, when they killed every male in Idumaea;
He naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene ʻi ʻItomi ʻa Tevita, pea kuo ʻalu hake ʻa Soape ko e ʻeiki pule ki he kau tau ke tanu kinautolu naʻe tāmate, hili ʻa ʻene teʻia ʻae kakai tangata kotoa pē ʻi ʻItomi;
16 (for Joab and all Israel abode there six months in Idumaea, until he utterly destroyed every male in Idumaea; )
(Naʻe nofo ʻi ai ʻa Soape mo ʻIsileli kātoa ʻi he māhina ʻe ono, kaeʻoua ke fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻi ʻItomi: )
17 that Ader ran away, he and all the Idumaeans of the servants of his father with him; and they went into Egypt; and Ader [was then] a little child.
Pea naʻe hola ʻa Hatati, ko ia mo e niʻihi ʻoe kau ʻItomi ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo ʻene tamai, ke [nau ]ʻalu ki ʻIsipite; he naʻe kei tamasiʻi siʻi pe ʻa Hatati.
18 And there rise up men out of the city of Madiam, and they come to Pharan, and take men with them, and come to Pharao king of Egypt: and Ader went in to Pharao, and he gave him a house, and appointed him provision.
Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hake mei Mitiane, ʻo hoko mai ki Palani: pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻae kau tangata mo kinautolu mei Palani, pea naʻa nau haʻu ki ʻIsipite, kia Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite; ʻaia naʻa ne ʻange moʻona ha fale, mo ne tuku kiate ia haʻane meʻakai, ʻo ne foaki kiate ia ha konga fonua.
19 And Ader found great favor in the sight of Pharao, and he gave him his wife's sister in marriage, the elder sister of Thekemina.
Pea naʻe ʻofeina lahi ʻa Hatati ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, ko ia naʻa ne foaki ai kiate ia ʻae tokoua ʻo hono uaifi ʻoʻona ke na mali, ʻio, ʻae tokoua ʻo Tapanise ko e tuʻi fefine.
20 And the sister of Thekemina bore to him, [even] to Ader, Ganebath her son; and Thekemina brought him up in the midst of the sons of Pharao, and Ganebath was in the midst of the sons of Pharao.
Pea naʻe fanau kiate ia ʻe he tokoua ʻo Tapanise ʻa hono foha ko Kinupate, ʻaia naʻe fakamavae ʻe Tapanise ʻi he fale ʻo Felo: pea naʻe nofo ʻa Kinupate ʻi he ʻapi ʻo Felo fakataha mo e ngaahi foha ʻo Felo.
21 And Ader heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead; and Ader said to Pharao, Let me go, and I will return to my country.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe Hatati ʻi ʻIsipite kuo mohe ʻa Tevita mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea kuo pekia ʻa Soape ʻae ʻeiki pule ʻoe kautau, naʻe pehē ʻe Hatati kia Felo, “Tuku au ke u ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu ki hoku fonua ʻoʻoku.”
22 And Pharao said to Ader, What lack you with me? that behold! you seek to depart to your country? and Ader said to him, By all means let me go.
Pea naʻe toki pehē kiate ia ʻe Felo, “Kae vakai, kuo ke masiva ʻi he hā ʻiate au, ke pehē ai hoʻo fie ʻalu ki ho fonua ʻoʻou?” Pea naʻa ne pehēange, “ʻOku ʻikai, kae kehe pe ke tuku au ke u ʻalu.”
23 So Ader returned to his country; this [is] the mischief which Ader did, and he was a bitter enemy of Israel, and he reigned in the land of Edom.
Pea naʻe ueʻi hake ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae fili ʻe tokotaha, ko Lisoni ko e foha ʻo Iliate, ʻaia naʻe hola mei heʻene ʻeiki ko Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa:
Pea naʻa ne tānaki mai ʻae kau tangata kiate ia, pea ne hoko ko e ʻeiki ʻo ha kongakau, ʻi he kuonga naʻe teʻia ai ʻe Tevita kinautolu: pea naʻa nau ʻalu ki Tamasikusi, ʻo nofo ai, ʻo[ne ]pule ʻi Tamasikusi.
Pea ko e fili ia ki ʻIsileli lolotonga ʻae ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Solomone, ka ʻoku lau kehe ʻae kovi naʻe hoko meia Hatati: pea naʻa ne fakaliliʻa ki ʻIsileli, mo ne pule ki Silia.
26 And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the Ephrathite of Sarira, the son of a widow, [was] servant of Solomon.
Pea ko Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ko e tangata ʻEfalata mei Sileta, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Solomone, ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Silua, ko e fefine kuo pekia hono husepāniti, ʻio, naʻa mo ia naʻa ne hiki angatuʻu ʻa hono nima ki he tuʻi.
27 And this [was] the occasion of his lifting up [his] hands against king Solomon: now king Solomon built the citadel, he completed the fortification of the city of David his father.
Pea ko hono ʻuhinga eni ʻo ʻene hiki ʻa hono nima ke angatuʻu ki he tuʻi: naʻe langa ʻe Solomone ʻa Milo, pea naʻa ne toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu naʻe maumau ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai.
28 And the man Jeroboam was very strong; and Solomon saw the young man that he was active, and he set him over the levies of the house of Joseph.
Pea ko e tangata ko Selopoami ko e tangata toʻa lahi ia: pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻe Solomone ki he faʻa ngāue ʻae talavou, naʻa ne fakanofo ia ke pule ki he ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he fale ʻo Siosefa.
29 And it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went forth from Jerusalem, and Achia the Selonite the prophet found him in the way, and caused him to turn aside out of the way: and Achia was clad with a new garment, and they two [were] alone in the field.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻi he ʻalu ʻa Selopoami mei Selūsalema, naʻe ʻilo ia ʻi he hala ʻe he palōfita ko ʻAhisa ko e tangata Sailo; pea kuo ne fakakofuʻaki ia ha kofu foʻou; pea ko kinaua pe ʻe toko ua naʻe ʻi he ngoue:
30 And Achia laid hold of his new garment that was upon him, and tore it [into] twelve pieces:
Pea naʻe puke atu ʻe ʻAhisa ki he kofu foʻou naʻa ne kofuʻaki, mo ne haehae ia ki he konga ʻe hongofulu ma ua:
31 and he said to Jeroboam, Take to yourself ten pieces, for thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give you ten tribes.
Pea naʻa ne pehē kia Selopoami, “Toʻo ʻe koe ʻae konga ʻe hongofulu: he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘Vakai, te u hae mai ʻae puleʻanga mei he nima ʻo Solomone, pea te u ange ʻae faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu kiate koe.
32 Yet he shall have two tribes, for my servant David's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.
(Ka ʻe ʻiate ia ʻae faʻahinga ʻe taha koeʻuhi ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, pea koeʻuhi ko Selūsalema, ko e kolo ʻaia kuo u fili mai mei he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli: )
33 Because he forsook me, and sacrificed to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos, and to the idols of Moab, and to their king the abomination of the children of Ammon, and he walked not in my ways, to do that which was right before me, as David his father [did].
Koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki au, pea kuo[nau ]lotu kia ʻAsitelote ko e ʻotua fefine ʻo Saitoni, mo Kimosi ko e ʻotua ʻoe kakai Moape, mo Milikomi ko e ʻotua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea kuo ʻikai ʻalu ʻakinautolu ʻi hoku ngaahi hala, ke fai totonu ʻi hoku ʻao, pea ki heʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo ʻeku ngaahi fakamaau, ʻo hangē ko Tevita ko ʻene tamai.
34 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, (for I will certainly resist him all the days of his life, ) for David my servant's sake, whom I have chosen.
Ka ʻe ʻikai foki te u toʻo mei hono nima ʻae puleʻanga kātoa: ka te u tuku ia ke tuʻi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui koeʻuhi ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia naʻaku fili, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni:
35 But I will take the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and give you ten tribes.
Ka te u toʻo mai ʻae puleʻanga mei he nima ʻo hono foha, pea te u ʻange ia kiate koe, ʻio, ʻae faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu.
36 But to his son I will give the two [remaining] tribes, that my servant David may have an establishment continually before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.
Pea ki hono foha ʻoʻona te u ʻange ʻae faʻahinga ʻe taha, koeʻuhi ke ai ha maama maʻuaipē ʻi hoku ʻao ʻi Selūsalema kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ʻae kolo ko ia kuo u fili ke tuku ki ai ʻa hoku huafa.
37 And I will take you, and you shall reign as your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel.
Pea te u fili koe, pea te ke pule ʻo tatau mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku holi ki ai ho laumālie, pea te ke tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli.
38 And it shall come to pass, if you will keep all the commandments that I shall give you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right before me, to keep my ordinances and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built to David.
Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kapau te ke fakafanongo ki he meʻa kotoa pē te u fekau kiate koe, pea ke ʻalu ʻi hoku ngaahi hala, mo ke fai totonu ʻi hoku ʻao, ke tauhi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki; pehē, te u kau kiate koe, mo langa kiate koe ha fale tuʻumaʻu, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻaku fokotuʻu kia Tevita, pea te u foaki ʻa ʻIsileli kiate koe.
Pea koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni te u fakamamahiʻi ʻae hako ʻo Tevita, ka ʻe ʻikai ke taʻengata.’”
40 And Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose and fled into Egypt, to Susakim king of Egypt, and he was in Egypt until Solomon died.
Ko ia naʻe kumi ai ʻe Solomone ke ne tāmateʻi ʻa Selopoami. Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Selopoami, ʻo ne hola ki ʻIsipite, kia Sisaki ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea naʻa ne ʻi ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki he pekia ʻa Solomone.
41 And the rest of the history of Solomon, and all that he did, and all his wisdom, behold are not these things written in the book of the life of Solomon?
Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Solomone, mo ia fulipē naʻa ne fai, pea mo ʻene poto, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Solomone?
42 And the days [during] which Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [were] forty years.
Pea ko e kuonga naʻe pule ai ʻa Solomone ʻi Selūsalema ki ʻIsileli kātoa ko e taʻu ia ʻe fāngofulu.
43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father, and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Solomone ki heʻene ngaahi tamai pea naʻe fai hono putu ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Lehopoami.
