1Zvino mambo Soromoni wakange achida vakadzi vazhinji vatorwa pamwechete nomukunda waFarao, vakadzi vavaMoabhu, navaAmoni, navaEdhomu, navaZidhoni, navaHiti;
1Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites;
2vaiva vendudzi dzakanga dzanzi naJehovha kuvana vaIsiraeri: Musaenda pakati pavo, naivo ngavarege kupinda pakati penyu; nekuti zvirokwazvo, vachatsausa moyo yenyu mukazotevera vamwari vavo; zvino Soromoni wakanamatira ivavo achivada.
2of the nations concerning which Yahweh said to the children of Israel, “You shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.” Solomon joined to these in love.
3wakange ana vakadzi vana mazana manomwe, vakunda vamadzimambo, navarongo vana mazana matatu; vakadzi vake vakatsausa moyo wake.
3He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart.
4Nekuti Soromoni wakati akwegura, vakadzi vake vakatsausa moyo wake kuti atevere vamwe vamwari; moyo wake hauna kuzova wakarurama kwazvo kuna Jehovha Mwari wake, sezvakanga zvakaita moyo waDhavhidhi baba vake.
4For it happened, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as was the heart of David his father.
5Nekuti Soromoni wakatevera Ashitoreti, mwarikadzi wavaZidhoni, naMirikomi mwari unonyangadza wavana vaAmoni.
5For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
6Naizvozvo Soromoni wakaita zvakaipa pamberi paJehovha, haana kutevera Jehovha kwazvo, sezvakaita Dhavhidhi baba vake.
6Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and didn’t go fully after Yahweh, as did David his father.
7Zvino Soromoni akavakira Kemoshi, mwari unonyangadza waMoabhu, dunhu rakakwirira pagomo riri pamberi peJerusaremu; naMoreki, mwari unonyangadza wavana vaAmoni.
7Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
8Saizvozvo akaitirawo vakadzi vake vose vatorwa, vaipisira vamwari vavo zvinonhuhwira nokuvabayira.
8So he did for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.
9Zvino Jehovha akatsamwira Soromoni, nekuti moyo wake wakatsauka kuna Jehovha Mwari walsiraeri, iye wakange azviratidza kaviri kwaari,
9Yahweh was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from Yahweh, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
10akamuraira pamusoro pechinhu ichi, kuti arege kutevera vamwe vamwari; asi haana kuita zvaakanga arairwa naMwari.
10and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he didn’t keep that which Yahweh commanded.
11Naizvozvo Jehovha akati kuna Soromoni, Zvawaita izvozvi, ukasachengeta sungano yangu nemitemo yangu, yandakakuraira, zvirokwazvo ndichabvarura ushe hwako, ndihubvise kwauri, ndihupe muranda wako.
11Therefore Yahweh said to Solomon, “Because this is done by you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.
12Kunyange zvakadaro handingazviiti pamazuva ako nokuda kwaDhavhidhi baba vako; asi ndichahubvarura, ndikahubvisa paruoko rwomwanakomana wako.
12Notwithstanding I will not do it in your days, for David your father’s sake; but I will tear it out of the hand of your son.
13Kunyange zvakadaro handingahwubvaruri ndikahubvisa hwose asi ndichapa mwanakomana wako rudzi rumwe nokuda kwaDhavhidhi muranda wangu, uye nokuda kweJerusaremu, iro guta randakatsaura.
13However I will not tear away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to your son, for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.”
14Zvino Jehovha akamutsira Soromoni Hadhadhi muEdhomu, kuti arwe naye; iye wakange ari worudzi rwamambo paEdhomu.
14Yahweh raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seed in Edom.
15Nekuti panguva iya Dhavhidhi ari paEdhomu, Joabhu mukuru wehondo wakati akwira kundoviga vakanga vaurawa, apedza kuuraya varume vose paEdhomu;
15For it happened, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army was gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom
16(nokuti Joabhu navaIsiraeri vose vakagarapo mwedzi mitanhatu, kusvikira vaparadza varume vose paEdhomu;)
16(for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom);
17Hadhadhi akatiza, akaenda Egipita, iye navamwe vaEdhomu pakati pavaranda vababa vake, iye Hadhadhi achiri mwana muduku.
17that Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt, Hadad being yet a little child.
18Ivo vakasimuka, vakabva Midhiani, vakasvika Parani; vakatora vamwe varume veParani, vakaenda Egipita kuna Farao mambo weEgipita; iye akamupa imba, akaraira kuti apiwe zvokudya, akamupawo nyika pokugara.
18They arose out of Midian, and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him food, and gave him land.
19Hadhadhi akazofarirwa kwazvo naFarao; naizvozvo akamupa muramu wake, munin'ina wavahosi vake Tapenesi, ave mukadzi wake.
19Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
20Munin'ina waTapenesi akamuberekera mwanakomana wake Genubhati, wakarumurwa naTapenesi mumba maFarao; Genubhati akagara mumba maFarao, pakati pavanakomana vaFarao.
20The sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house among the sons of Pharaoh.
21Zvino Hadhadhi wakati achinzwa kuti Dhavhidhi wavata namadzibaba ake, uye kuti Joabhu mukuru wehondo wafa, Hadhadhi akati kuna Farao, Regai ndiende hangu kunyika yangu.
21When Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.”
22Farao akati kwaari, Washaiweiko kwandiri, zvaunoda kudzokera kunyika yako? Akapindura, akati, Handina kushaiwa chinhu; kunyange zvakadaro ndiregei henyu ndiende.
22Then Pharaoh said to him, “But what have you lacked with me, that behold, you seek to go to your own country?” He answered, “Nothing, however only let me depart.”
23Zvino Jehovha akamumutsirazve mumwe kuzorwa naye, Rezonhi mwanakomana waEriadha, wakange atiza kunashe wake Hadhadhezeri mambo weZobha
23God raised up an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.
24akaunganidzira vanhu kwaari, akava mukuru wehondo panguva Dhavhidhi yaakauraya veZobha; vakaenda Dhamasiko, vakagarapo, vakabata ushe paDhamasiko.
24He gathered men to him, and became captain over a troop, when David killed them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and lived therein, and reigned in Damascus.
25Iye akarwa naIsiraeri mazuva ose aSoromoni, zvimwe zvakashata zvakaitwa naHadhadhi zvisingaverengwi iye akavenga vaIsiraeri, akabata ushe paSiria.
25He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the mischief of Hadad: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
26Jerobhoamuwo, mwanakomana waNebhati, muEfuremu weZeredha, muranda waSoromoni, zita ramai vake rainzi Zerua, yaiva chirikadzi, wakamukirawo mambo.
26Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow, he also lifted up his hand against the king.
27Iye wakamukira mambo nemhaka yokuti Soromoni wakange avaka Miro, akagadzira pakanga pakaputsika paguta raDhavhidhi baba vake.
27This was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of the city of David his father.
28Zvino murume uyu Jerobhoamu wakange ari murume wesimba noumhare, Soromoni akaona kuti jaya iro raibata kwazvo, akamuita mutariri wamabasa ose eimba yaJosefa.
28The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he put him in charge of all the labor of the house of Joseph.
29Zvino panguva iyo Jerobhoamu wakati achibuda Jerusaremu, muporofita Ahija muShiro akasangana naye panzira; zvino Ahija wakange akafuka nguvo itsva; ivo vakanga vari vaviri voga kusango.
29It happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; now Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field.
30Ahija akabata nguvo itsva yaakafuka, akaibvarura akaita mapande ane gumi namaviri.
30Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it in twelve pieces.
31Akati kuna Jerobhoamu, Chizvitorera mapande ane gumi, nekuti zvanzi naJehovha, Mwari waIsiraeri, Tarira, ndinobvarura ushe, ndihwubvise kuna Soromoni, ndikupe marudzi ane gumi.
31He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces; for thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to you
32(Asi iye uchava norudzi rumwe nokuda kwaDhavhidhi muranda wangu, uye nokuda kweJerusaremu, guta randakatsaura kumarudzi ose aIsiraeri;)
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);
33nekuti vakandirasha, vakanamata kuna Ashitoreti mwarikadzi wavaZidhoni, naKemoshi mwari wavaMoabhu, naMirikomi mwari wavana vaAmoni; havana kufamba panzira dzangu, nokuita zvakarurama pamberi pangu, nokuchengeta mitemo yangu nezvandakatonga, sezvakaita Dhavhidhi baba vake.
33because that they have forsaken me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances, as David his father did.
34Kunyange zvakadaro handingabvisi ushe hwose paruoko rwake, asi ndichamuita muchinda mazuva ose oupenyu hwake nokuda kwaDhavhidhi muranda wangu, wandakatsaura; nekuti wakachengeta mirairo yangu nezvandakatema.
34“‘However 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, who kept my commandments and my statutes;
35Asi ndichabvisa umambo kumwanakomana wake, ndihupe iwe, iwo marudzi ane gumi.
35but I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand, and will give it to you, even ten tribes.
36Asi mwanakomana wake ndichamupa rudzi rumwe, kuti Dhavhidhi muranda wangu ave nomwenje nguva dzose pamberi pangu paJerusaremu, iro guta randakazvitsaurira, ndiise zita rangupo.
36To his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.
37ndichakutora iwe, ugobata ushe sezvinoda moyo wako, ugova mambo waIsiraeri.
37I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.
38Kana ukateerera zvose zvandinokuraira, ukafamba munzira dzangu, ukaita zvakarurama pamberi pangu, ukachengeta zvandatema nemirairo yangu, sezvakaita Dhavhidhi muranda wangu, ini ndichava newe, ndichakuvakira imba yakasimba, sezvandakavakira Dhavhidhi, ndigokupa Isiraeri.
38It shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.
39Nekuti nemhaka iyi ndichatambudza vana vaDhavhidhi, asi handingazviiti nokusingaperi.
39I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not forever.’”
40Naizvozvo Soromoni akatsvaka kuuraya Jerobhoamu; asi Jerobhoamu wakasimuka, akatizira Egipita kuna Shishaki mambo weEgipita, akagarapo paEgipita kusvikira pakufa kwaSoromoni.
40Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam; but Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
41Zvino mamwe mashoko aSoromoni, nezvose zvaakaita, nokungwara kwake, hazvina kunyorwa here mubhuku ramabasa aSoromoni?
41Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, aren’t they written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
42Zvino nguva yakabata Soromoni vaIsiraeri vose paJerusaremu aiva makore makumi mana.
42The time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
43Ipapo Soromoni akavata namadzibaba ake, akavigwa muguta raDhavhidhi baba vake, Rehobhoamu mwanakomana wake akazomutevera pakubata ushe.
43Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
