¹But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:

¹ Amma Bonkoono Suleymanu ga ba wayboro yaw boobo kaŋ waana Firawna izo, danga Mowab wayborey, da Amonancey, da Edomancey, da Zidonancey, da Hittancey,

²Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.

² dumey kaŋ yaŋ ra Rabbi ne Israyla izey se doŋ: «Araŋ ma si furo i ra, ngey mo ma si furo araŋ game ra, zama daahir i ga araŋ biney bare ka ye ngey toorey ganayaŋ do haray.» Suleymanu naagu mo wayborey din gaa, zama a ga ba r'ey.

³And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.

³ A gonda wande zangu iyye kaŋ i kulu bonkooni izeyaŋ no, da wahay zangu hinza. A wandey mo n'a bina bare.

⁴For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.

⁴ Zama a ciya, waato kaŋ Suleymanu zeen, a wandey n'a bina bare k'a ye tooru fooyaŋ ganayaŋ banda. A bina mana goro toonante koyne Rabbi a Irikoyo ganayaŋ ra, sanda a baabo Dawda bine cine.

⁵For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.

⁵ Zama Suleymanu na Astoret, Zidonancey wayboro tooro gana, da Milkom, Amonancey fanta haro mo.

⁶And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.

⁶ Suleymanu binde na hari te kaŋ ga laala Rabbi diyaŋ gaa. A mana Rabbi gana nda bine folloŋ sanda mate kaŋ a baabo Dawda te.

⁷Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.

⁷ Gaa no Suleymanu na sududuyaŋ do cina Kemos se, Mowabancey fanta haro, tondo kaŋ ga Urusalima guna din boŋ. A na afo mo cina Molek se, Amonancey fanta haro.

⁸And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

⁸ Yaadin mo no a te nga mebaraw wandey kulu se, ngey kaŋ yaŋ ga dugu ton, i ga sargayyaŋ wi mo ngey toorey se.

⁹And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,

⁹ Rabbi mo te Suleymanu se bine, zama a bina bare ka fay da Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo ganayaŋ, nga kaŋ bangay a se sorro hinka,

¹⁰And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.

¹⁰ hala a n'a lordi mo harey din boŋ ka ne a ma si tooruyaŋ gana. Amma Suleymanu mana haya kaŋ Rabbi na nga lordi nd'a din haggoy.

¹¹Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.

¹¹ Woodin se no Rabbi ne Suleymanu se: «Za kaŋ ni na woone wo te, ni mana ay sappa nd'ay hin sanney haggoy mo, kaŋ yaŋ ay na ni lordi nd'a, haciika ay ga mayra kom ni gaa k'a no ni tamo se.

¹²Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.

¹² Amma ay si woodin te ni jirbey ra bo, ni baaba Dawda sabbay se. Amma ay g'a kom ni izo kambe ra.

¹³Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.

¹³ Kulu nda yaadin, ay si mayra kulu kom bo, amma ay ga kunda folloŋ no ni izo se ay tamo Dawda sabbay se, da Urusalima kaŋ ay suuban mo se.»

¹⁴And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.

¹⁴ Rabbi mo na ibare fo tunandi Suleymanu se, kaŋ maa Hadad, Edomance fo kaŋ Edom bonkoono dumey ra no a go.

¹⁵For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom;

¹⁵ Zama waato kaŋ Dawda go Edom, Yowab, a wongu marga jine bora jin ka kaaru zama nga ma buukoy fiji se, kal a na Edom ra alborey kulu wi.

¹⁶(For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:)

¹⁶ (Zama Yowab da Israyla kulu goro noodin handu iddu, kal a na Edom ra alborey kulu halaci.)

¹⁷That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child.

¹⁷ Amma Hadad wo zuru, nga nda nga baabo tam fooyaŋ. I koy Misira. Hadad go zanka kayniyo jina.

¹⁸And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.

¹⁸ I tun Midiyan ka kaa Paran. I na noodin boro fooyaŋ sambu ngey banda Paran ra, ka kaa Misira ka di Misira bonkoono Firawna. Nga mo n'a no windi nda ŋwaari, da laabu mo.

¹⁹And Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.

¹⁹ Hadad binde du gaakuri gumo Firawna do, hal a n'a no nga bumbo wando kayne, Hadad m'a hiiji, danga bonkoono wande Tafanes kayne nooya.

²⁰And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh.

²⁰ Tafanes kayno binde na ize alboro hay a se kaŋ maa Genuba, kaŋ Tafanes n'a kosu nyaŋo gaa Firawna windo ra. Genuba go no mo noodin Firawna windo ra, Firawna izey game ra.

²¹And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.

²¹ Waato kaŋ Hadad go Misira laabu, kal a maa Dawda bu ka kani nga kaayey banda. Yowab kaŋ ga ti wongu marga bonkoono, nga mo bu. Kala Hadad ne Firawna se: «Kala ni ma yadda ay se ya koy ay laabu.»

²²Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise.

²² Waato din gaa Firawna ne a se: «Day, ifo no ni jaŋ ay do, hala ni ga ba ni ma ye ni laabu?» Nga mo ne: «Manti hay fo no, amma kulu nda yaadin, mate kulu kaŋ no, naŋ day ay ma tun ka koy.»

²³And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:

²³ Irikoy na yanjekaari fo mo tunandi Suleymanu se, Rezon Eliyada ize no, nga kaŋ zuru nga koyo Hadad-Ezer se, kaŋ ga ti Zoba bonkoono.

²⁴And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.

²⁴ Nga mo na boro fooyaŋ margu nga do ka ciya wurrandi izeyaŋ jine boro. Waato kaŋ Dawda na Zoba borey wi, woodin banda hal i koy Damaskos ka goro noodin, i may Damaskos ra.

²⁵And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.

²⁵ A ciya Israyla gaabakasina Suleymanu zamano kulu ra, ka waana hasaraw kaŋ Hadad te, a na Israyla fanta mo. A goono ga Suriya laabo may.

²⁶And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand against the king.

²⁶ Yerobowam, Nebat ize, Ifraymu boro fo, Zereda kwaara boro no, Suleymanu tam, kaŋ a nya maa Zeruwa, wayboro kaŋ kurnye bu no, boro woodin mo murte bonkoono gaa.

²⁷And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father.

²⁷ Haŋ kaŋ naŋ a murte bonkoono gaa neeya: Suleymanu na Millo cina, ka nga baabo Dawda kwaara windante cinaro guuso fansi ka hanse.

²⁸And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.

²⁸ Yerobowam wo mo, sooje beeri no. Suleymanu na laakal daŋ ka faham da arwaso din, a gonda kookari, kal a na Yusufu kunda kulu doole goyo daŋ a kambe ra.

²⁹And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field:

²⁹ A ciya mo alwaato din, saaya kaŋ cine Yerobowam fatta Urusalima ra, annabi Ahiya Silo bora n'a gar fonda gaa. Ahiya binde gonda kwaay taji nga gaa. I boro hinka mo go fari fo ra ngey hinne.

³⁰And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:

³⁰ Ahiya binde na kwaay tajo kaŋ go nga jinda gaa din di k'a tooru. A n'a fay iway cindi hinka.

³¹And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:

³¹ A ne Yerobowam se: «Ni ma sambu ni boŋ se kanandi way, zama haŋ kaŋ Rabbi, Israyla Irikoyo ci neeya: ‹Guna, ay ga koytara tooru ka kaa Suleymanu kambe ra, ay ma kunda way no ni se.

³²(But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:)

³² Amma nga din ga kunda fa gaay, ay tamo Dawda sabbay se da Urusalima mo se, kwaara kaŋ ay suuban Israyla kundey kulu ra.

³³Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.

³³ Za kaŋ i n'ay furu, i sombu ka sududu Astoret se, Zidonancey wayboro tooro, da Mowab tooro Kemos se, da Amon izey tooro Milkom se. I mana dira ay fondey ra mo zama ngey ma goyey kaŋ ga saba ay diyaŋ gaa te, i man'ay hin sanney d'ay farilley haggoy mo, sanda mate kaŋ a baabo Dawda te.

³⁴Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:

³⁴ Amma ay si mayra kulu ta a kambe ra bo, day ay g'a koytara tabbatandi a jirbey kulu ra, ay tamo Dawda sabbay se, nga kaŋ ay suuban, zama a n'ay lordey d'ay hin sanney gana.

³⁵But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.

³⁵ Amma ay ga mayra ta Suleymanu izo kambe ra, k'a no ni se, sanda kunda way nooya.

³⁶And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.

³⁶ A izo mo, ay g'a no kunda fo zama ay tamo Dawda ma goro nda fitilla duumi ay jine Urusalima ra, kwaara kaŋ ay suuban ay boŋ se, y'ay maa daŋ a ra.

³⁷And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.

³⁷ Ay ga ni daŋ mo ni ma mayray te hay kulu boŋ kaŋ ni bina ga muraadu, ka ciya bonkooni Israyla boŋ.

³⁸And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.

³⁸ A ga ciya mo, da ni ga hanga jeeri hari kulu gaa kaŋ ay na ni lordi nd'a, k'ay fondey gana, ni ma haŋ kaŋ yaŋ ga saba te ay diyaŋ gaa, ni m'ay hin sanney nd'ay lordey haggoy mo, sanda mate kaŋ cine ay tamo Dawda te, kal ay mo ay ma goro ni banda. Ay ma kunda tabbatante sinji ni se, sanda mate kaŋ cine ay sinji Dawda se, ay ma Israyla mo no ni se.

³⁹And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.

³⁹ Woodin se binde ay ga Dawda banda kaynandi, amma manti hal abada bo.› »

⁴⁰Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

⁴⁰ Woodin se no Suleymanu ceeci nga ma Yerobowam wi, amma Yerobowam tun ka zuru ka koy Misira hala Misira bonkoono Sisak do. A goro noodin mo kala Suleymanu buuyaŋ.

⁴¹And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?

⁴¹ Suleymanu goy cindey binde, da hay kulu kaŋ a te, d'a laakalo, manti i n'i hantum Suleymanu goyey tira ra bo?

⁴²And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

⁴² Jirbey kaŋ yaŋ Suleymanu na mayray te Israyla kulu boŋ Urusalima ra, jiiri waytaaci no.

⁴³And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

⁴³ Suleymanu kani nga kaayey banda. I n'a fiji nga baabo Dawda kwaara ra. A izo Rehobowam te bonkooni a nango ra.
