¹¶ Otiia he tini nga wahine ke i arohaina e Kingi Horomona, he Moapi, he Amoni, he Eromi, he Haironi, he Hiti, me te tamahine ano a Parao;

¹And king Solomon hath loved many strange women, and the daughter of Pharaoh, females of Moab, Ammon, Edom, Zidon, [and] of the Hittites,

²No nga iwi i mea ra a Ihowa ki nga tama a Iharaira, kaua e haere atu ki a ratou, kaua hoki ratou e haere mai ki a koutou: he pono ma ratou o koutou ngakau e whakaanga ke ki te whai i o ratou atua: piri tonu, aroha tonu a Horomona ki enei.

²of the nations of which Jehovah said unto the sons of Israel, `Ye do not go in to them, and they do not go in to you; surely they turn aside your heart after their gods;` to them hath Solomon cleaved for love.

³Na e whitu rau ana wahine rangatira, e toru rau nga wahine iti: a whakaanga ketia ana tona ngakau e ana wahine.

³And he hath women, princesses, seven hundred, and concubines three hundred; and his wives turn aside his heart.

⁴Na, koroheke rawa ake a Horomona, kua whakaanga ketia tona ngakau e ana wahine, kua whai i nga atua ke; kihai hoki tona ngakau i tapatahi ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, kihai i rite ki te ngakau o Rawiri, o tona papa.

⁴And it cometh to pass, at the time of the old age of Solomon, his wives have turned aside his heart after other gods, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, like the heart of David his father.

⁵I haere hoki a Horomona i whai i a Ahatorete atua o nga Haironi, i a Mirikomo hoki, i te mea whakarihariha a nga Amoni.

⁵And Solomon goeth after Ashtoreth god[dess] of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites;

⁶Na kua he ta Horomona mahi ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kihai hoki i anga nui ki te whai i a Ihowa, kihai i pera me tona papa, me Rawiri.

⁶and Solomon doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and hath not been fully after Jehovah, like David his father.

⁷Na ka hanga e Horomona he wahi tiketike mo ta Moapa mea whakarihariha, mo Kemoho, ki runga ki te maunga e anga ana ki Hiruharama; mo Moreke hoki, mo te mea whakarihariha a nga tama a Amona.

⁷Then doth Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, in the hill that [is] on the front of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the sons of Ammon;

⁸Pera tonu tana i mea ai mo ana wahine ke katoa, i tahu whakakakara nei, i patu whakahere hoki ki o ratou atua.

⁸and so he hath done for all his strange women, who are perfuming and sacrificing to their gods.

⁹¶ Na ka riri a Ihowa ki a Horomona, no te mea kua anga ke tona ngakau i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira, ka rua nei ona putanga ki a ia,

⁹And Jehovah sheweth Himself angry with Solomon, for his heart hath turned aside from Jehovah, God of Israel, who had appeared unto him twice,

¹⁰Me te ako i tenei kupu ki a ia kia kaua ia e haere ki te whai i nga atua ke: otiia kihai i mau i a ia ta Ihowa i whakahau ai.

¹⁰and given a charge unto him concerning this thing, not to go after other gods; and he hath not kept that which Jehovah commanded,

¹¹Na reira ka mea a Ihowa ki a Horomona, I te mea ka penei tau mahi, kahore nei i mau i a koe taku kawenata me taku tikanga i akona e ahau ki a koe, ka haea rawatia atu e ahau te kingitanga i a koe, a ka hoatu ki tau tangata.

¹¹and Jehovah saith to Solomon, `Because that this hath been with thee, and thou hast not kept My covenant and My statutes that I charged upon thee, I surely rend the kingdom from thee, and have given it to thy servant.

¹²Otiia e kore tenei e meatia e ahau i ou ra, he whakaaro hoki ki tou papa, ki a Rawiri: ka haea atu ia e ahau i te ringa o tau tama.

¹²`Only, in thy days I do it not, for the sake of David thy father; out of the hand of thy son I rend it;

¹³Otiia e kore e haea atu e ahau te kingitanga katoa; kotahi te iwi e hoatu e ahau ki tau tama, he whakaaro ki a Rawiri, ki taku pononga, ki Hiruharama i whiriwhiria nei e ahau.

¹³only all the kingdom I do not rend away; one tribe I give to thy son, for the sake of David My servant, and for the sake of Jerusalem, that I have chosen.`

¹⁴¶ Na ka whakaarahia ake e Ihowa he hoariri mo Horomona, ko Harara Eromi: he uri ia no te kingi i Eroma.

¹⁴And Jehovah raiseth up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; of the seed of the king [is] he in Edom;

¹⁵Tera, i a Rawiri i Eroma, ka haere atu a Ioapa rangatira o te ope ki te tanu i te hunga i patua, kua oti hoki nga tane katoa o Eroma te patu e ia;

¹⁵and it cometh to pass, in David`s being with Edom, in the going up of Joab head of the host to bury the slain, that he smiteth every male in Edom —

¹⁶E ono hoki nga marama i noho ai a Ioapa ratou ko Iharaira katoa ki reira, a poto noa nga tane katoa o Eroma te hautope atu;

¹⁶for six months did Joab abide there, and all Israel, till the cutting off of every male in Edom —

¹⁷Na ka rere a Harara ratou ko etahi Eromi, he tangata na tona papa, haere ana ki Ihipa: a e nohinohi tonu ana a Harara.

¹⁷and Hadad fleeth, he and certain Edomites, of the servants of his father, with him, to go in to Egypt, and Hadad [is] a little youth,

¹⁸A ka whakatika atu ratou i Miriana, a ka tae ki Parana: na ka tangohia e ratou etahi tangata o Parana hei hoa mo ratou, a haere ana ki Ihipa ki a Parao kingi o Ihipa; a na tera i hoatu he whare mona, i whakarite he kai mana; i hoatu ano he whenu a ki a ia.

¹⁸and they rise out of Midian, and come into Paran, and take men with them out of Paran, and come in to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he giveth to him a house, and bread hath commanded for him, and land hath given to him.

¹⁹Na ka manakohia nuitia a Harara e Parao, a hoatu ana e ia hei wahine mana te teina o tana wahine ake, te teina o te Kuini, o Tahapene.

¹⁹And Hadad findeth grace in the eyes of Pharaoh exceedingly, and he giveth to him a wife, the sister of his own wife, sister of Tahpenes the mistress;

²⁰Na ka whanau he tama mana i te teina o Tahapene, ko Kenupata, a na Tahapene ano i whakamutu tana kai u i roto i te whare o Parao: na noho ana a Kenupata i te whare o Parao i roto i nga tama a Parao.

²⁰and the sister of Tahpenes beareth to him Genubath his son, and Tahpenes weaneth him within the house of Pharaoh, and Genubath is in the house of Pharaoh in the midst of the sons of Pharaoh.

²¹A, i te rongonga o Harara i Ihipa, kua takoto a Rawiri ki ona matua, kua mate hoki a Ioapa rangatira ope, ka mea a Harara ki a Parao, Tukua ahau kia haere ki toku whenua.

²¹And Hadad hath heard in Egypt that David hath lain with his fathers, and that Joab head of the host is dead, and Hadad saith unto Pharaoh, `Send me away, and I go unto my land.`

²²Na ka mea a Parao ki a ia, I hapa koe i te aha i a koe i ahau nei, i whai ai koe kia haere ki tou whenua? Na ko tana kianga, Kahore: he ahakoa ra tukua ahau kia haere.

²²And Pharaoh saith to him, `But, what art thou lacking with me, that lo, thou art seeking to go unto thine own land?` and he saith, `Nay, but thou dost certainly send me away.`

²³I ara ano i te Atua he hoariri mona, a Retona tama a Eriara, i rere nei i tona ariki i a Hararetere kingi o Topa.

²³And God raiseth to him an adversary, Rezon son of Eliadah, who hath fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord,

²⁴Na ka huihuia e ia etahi tangata, a ka meinga ia hei rangatira ropu, i te mea e patua ana ratou e Rawiri: na haere ana ratou ki Ramahiku, a noho ana i reira, a ko ratou hei kingi mo Ramahiku.

²⁴and gathereth unto himself men, and is head of a troop in David`s slaying them, and they go to Damascus, and dwell in it, and reign in Damascus;

²⁵A he hoariri ia ki a Iharaira i nga ra katoa o Horomona, haunga hoki ta Harara kino i mea ai: heoi whakarihariha ana ia ki a Iharaira, ko ia ano te kingi o Hiria.

²⁵and he is an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, (besides the evil that Hadad [did]), and he cutteth off in Israel, and reigneth over Aram.

²⁶¶ Me Ieropoama ano tama a Nepata, he Eparati, no Terera, he tangata na Horomona, ko te ingoa o tona whaea, ko Terua, he wahine pouaru, i ara ano tona ringa ki te kingi.

²⁶And Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda — the name of whose mother [is] Zeruah, a widow woman — servant to Solomon, he also lifteth up a hand against the king;

²⁷A ko te take tenei i ara ai tona ringa ki te kingi: e hanga ana a Horomona i Miro, e tutaki ana i nga wahi pakaru o te pa o tona papa, o Rawiri.

²⁷and this [is] the thing [for] which he lifted up a hand against the king: Solomon built Millo — he shut up the breach of the city of David his father,

²⁸Na he marohirohi a Ieropoama, he toa: a ka kite a Horomona i taua taitama he uaua ki te mahi, na meinga ana ia e ia hei kaitirotiro mo nga mahi katoa a te whare o Hohepa.

²⁸and the man Jeroboam [is] mighty in valour, and Solomon seeth the young man that he is doing business, and appointeth him over all the burden of the house of Joseph.

²⁹Na i taua wa ka puta a Ieropoama i Hiruharama, a ka tutaki a Ahia Hironi, te poropiti ki a ia i te ara; na kua kakahuria e Ahia he kakahu hou; a ko raua tokorua anake i te parae.

²⁹And it cometh to pass, at that time, that Jeroboam hath gone out from Jerusalem, and Ahijah the Shilonite, the prophet, findeth him in the way, and he is covering himself with a new garment; and both of them [are] by themselves in a field,

³⁰Na ka hopukia e Ahia tona kakahu hou, haea ana kia tekau ma rua nga wahi:

³⁰and Ahijah layeth hold on the new garment that [is] on him, and rendeth it — twelve pieces,

³¹A ka mea atu ia ki a Ieropoama, kia tekau nga wahi e tangohia e koe mau: ko te kupu hoki tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, Nana, ka haea e ahau te kingitanga i te ringa o Horomona, a tekau nga iwi e hoatu ki a koe;

³¹and saith to Jeroboam, `Take to thee ten pieces, for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, lo, I am rending the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and have given to thee the ten tribes,

³²Kotahi ia te iwi mana; he whakaaro ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, he whakaaro ki Hiruharama, ki te pa i whiriwhiria e ahau i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira;

³²and the one tribe he hath for My servant David`s sake, and for Jerusalem`s sake, the city which I have fixed on, out of all the tribes of Israel.

³³Mo ratou i whakarere i ahau, a koropiko ana ki a Ahatorete atua o nga Haironi, ki a Kemoho atua o nga Moapi, ki a Mirikomo atua o nga tama a Amona; kihai hoki i haere i aku ara, i mahi i te mea tika ki taku titiro, i pupuri hoki i aku tikanga, i aku whakaritenga, a kihai i pera me tona papa, me Rawiri.

³³`Because they have forsaken Me, and bow themselves to Ashtoreth, god[dess] of the Zidonians, to Chemosh god of Moab, and to Milcom god of the sons of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways, to do that which [is] right in Mine eyes, and My statutes and My judgments, like David his father.

³⁴Otiia e kore e tangohia e ahau te kingitanga katoa i tona ringa; engari ka whakarangatira ahau i a ia i nga ra katoa e ora ai ia, he whakaaro ki taku pononga, ki a Rawiri, i whiriwhiria nei e ahau, mona i pupuri i aku whakahau, i aku tikanga.

³⁴`And I do not take the whole of the kingdom out of his hand, for prince I make him all days of his life, for the sake of David My servant whom I chose, who kept My commands and My statutes;

³⁵Engari ka tangohia e ahau te kingitanga i te ringa o tana tama, a ka hoatu ki a koe, ara tekau nga iwi.

³⁵and I have taken the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and given it to thee — the ten tribes;

³⁶Kotahi te iwi e hoatu e ahau ki tana tama, hei rama ma taku pononga, ma Rawiri ki toku aroaro i nga ra katoa ki Hiruharama, ki te pa i whiriwhiria e ahau hei waihotanga iho mo toku ingoa.

³⁶and to his son I give one tribe, for there being a lamp to David My servant all the days before Me in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen to Myself to put My name there.

³⁷A ka tangohia koe e ahau, a hei kingi koe, ka rite ki nga mea katoa i hiahia ai tou ngakau, a hei kingi koe mo Iharaira.

³⁷`And thee I take, and thou hast reigned over all that thy soul desireth, and thou hast been king over Israel;

³⁸Na, tenei ake, ki te rongo koe i nga mea katoa e whakahau ai ahau ki a koe, a ka haere i aku ara, ka mahi i te mea e tika ana ki taku titiro, ka pupuri i aku tikanga, i aku whakahau, ka pera me ta taku pononga, me ta Rawiri i mea ai, na hei hoa ahau mou, ka hanga hoki e ahau tou whare kia pumau, ka peratia me to Rawiri i hanga ra e ahau; a ka hoatu a Iharaira ki a koe.

³⁸and it hath been, if thou dost hear all that I command thee, and hast walked in My ways, and done that which is right in Mine eyes, to keep My statutes and My commands, as did David My servant, that I have been with thee, and have built for thee a stedfast house, as I built for David, and have given to thee Israel,

³⁹A ka whakawhiua e ahau nga uri o Rawiri mo tenei mea nei; otiia ehara i te mea mo ake tonu atu.

³⁹and I humble the seed of David for this; only, not all the days.`

⁴⁰Na ka whai a Horomona kia whakamatea a Ieropoama; otiia i whakatika a Ieropoama, a rere ana ki Ihipa, ki a Hihaka kingi o Ihipa, a i Ihipa ia a mate noa a Horomona.

⁴⁰And Solomon seeketh to put Jeroboam to death, and Jeroboam riseth and fleeth to Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and he is in Egypt till the death of Solomon.

⁴¹¶ Na, ko era atu mahi a Horomona, ko nga mea katoa i mea ai ia, me ona whakaaro nui, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga mahi a Horomona?

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

⁴²Na, ko te roa o te kingitanga o Horomona ki Hiruharama ki a Iharaira katoa, e wha tekau tau.

⁴²And the days that Solomon hath reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [are] forty years,

⁴³Na ka moe a Horomona ki ona matua, a tanumia ana ki te pa o Rawiri, o tona papa; a ko Rehopoama, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.

⁴³and Solomon lieth with his fathers, and is buried in the city of David his father, and reign doth Rehoboam his son in his stead.
