Abakazi ba Sulemaani
11 (A)Kabaka Sulemaani yayagala abakazi bannaggwanga bangi: Abamowaabu, n’Abamoni, n’Abayedomu, n’Abasidoni, n’Abakiiti, ng’okwo kw’ogasse muwala wa Falaawo, 2 (B)nga bava mu mawanga Mukama ge yayogerako ng’alabula Abayisirayiri nti, “Temufumbiriganwanga nabo kubanga tebalirema kukyusa mitima gyammwe okugoberera bakatonda baabwe.” Naye omutima gwa Sulemaani ne guwugulwa, era naabagala. 3 Sulemaani yalina abakyala lusanvu abambejja, n’abakazi abalala ebikumi bisatu, era abo bonna ne bamuwabya. 4 (C)Mu bisera bya Sulemaani eby’obukadde, bakyala be ne basendasenda omutima gwe okugoberera bakatonda abalala. 5 (D)N’atanula okusinza Asutoleesi katonda omukazi ow’Abasidoni, ne Mirukomu katonda ow’omuzizo ow’Abamoni. 6 Sulemaani n’akola ebitaali bya butuukirivu mu maaso ga Mukama n’atagobererera ddala Mukama, n’atakola nga Dawudi kitaawe bwe yakola.
7 (E)Sulemaani n’azimba ebifo ebigulumivu ku kasozi[a] akali ebuvanjuba w’e Yerusaalemi, ng’abizimbira Kemosi katonda ow’omuzizo ow’Abamowaabu, ne Moleki katonda ow’omuzizo ow’Abamoni. 8 Bakyala be bonna bannamawanga, abaayoterezanga obubaane eri bakatonda baabwe, nabo n’abakolera bw’atyo. 9 (F)Mukama n’asunguwalira Sulemaani kubanga omutima gwe gwava ku Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri, eyamulabikira emirundi ebiri. 10 (G)Newaakubadde nga Mukama yali alabudde Sulemaani obutagoberera bakatonda abalala, Sulemaani teyagondera kiragiro kya Mukama. 11 (H)Mukama kyeyava agamba Sulemaani nti, “Olw’empisa zo, n’obutakuuma ndagaano yange newaakubadde okugondera amateeka gange ge nakulagira, ndikuggyako obwakabaka, ne mbuwa omu ku baddu bo. 12 Naye olwa Dawudi kitaawo, ekyo sirikikola mu biro byo, ndikikola, mutabani wo atandise okufuga. 13 (I)Ate era sirimuggyako bwakabaka bwonna, naye ndimuwa ekika kimu ku lwa Dawudi omuddu wange, n’olwa Yerusaalemi, kye neerondera.”
Abalabe ba Sulemaani
14 Awo Mukama n’ayimusiza Sulemaani omulabe erinnya lye Kadadi Omwedomu, ow’olulyo olulangira mu Edomu. 15 (J)Emabegako Dawudi bwe yali alwana ne Edomu, Yowaabu omuduumizi w’eggye eyali agenze okuziika Abayisirayiri abaali battiddwa, yasigalayo n’atta abasajja bonna mu Edomu. 16 Yowaabu n’Abayisirayiri bonna be yagenda nabo ne babeera eyo okumala emyezi mukaaga, okutuusa lwe baasaanyaawo abasajja bonna mu Edomu. 17 Naye Kadadi, ng’akyali mulenzi, yaddukira e Misiri n’abakungu abamu Abayedomu abaweerezanga kitaawe. 18 (K)Ne bagolokoka okuva mu Midiyaani okugenda e Palani. Ne bafuna abasajja okuva mu Palani, ne bagenda e Misiri, ewa Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri, eyamuwa ennyumba ne ttaka, era n’amuwanga n’emmere ey’okulya.
19 Awo Kadadi n’alaba ekisa mu maaso ga Falaawo n’okumuwa n’amuwa mulamu we, muganda wa Tapenesi kaddulubaale, okumufumbirwa. 20 Muganda wa Tapenesi n’azaalira Kadadi omwana wabulenzi n’amutuuma Genubasi, era Tapenesi n’amutwala mu lubiri okumulabirira. Genubasi n’akulira eyo wamu n’abaana ba Falaawo.
21 Kadadi bwe yali mu Misiri, n’awulira nti Dawudi yeebakira wamu ne bajjajjaabe era nga ne Yowaabu omuduumizi w’eggye yafa, n’agamba Falaawo nti, “Ka nzireyo ewaffe mu nsi yange.”
22 Falaawo n’amubuuza nti, “Kiki ky’otofunye wano, ekikwagaza okuddayo mu nsi yo?” Kadadi n’amuddamu nti, “Tewali, naye nzikiriza ŋŋende.”
23 (L)Katonda n’ayimusiza Sulemaani, omulabe omulala, erinnya lye Lezoni mutabani wa Eriyada, eyali adduse ku mukama we Kadadezeri kabaka w’e Zoba. 24 (M)Dawudi bwe yatta eggye ly’e Zoba, Lezoni n’akuŋŋaanya abasajja abajeemu n’afuuka mukulu waabwe, n’addukira e Ddamasiko, n’akiwamba, n’abeera eyo nga gy’afugira. 25 (N)Yali mulabe wa Isirayiri ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwa Sulemaani, ng’okwo kw’otadde emitawaana Kadadi gye yaleetera Isirayiri. Lezoni n’addukira mu Alamu, era n’abeera mulabe wa Isirayiri omuzibu ennyo.
Yerobowaamu Ajeemera Sulemaani
26 (O)Yerobowaamu mutabani wa Nebati, Omwefulayimu ow’e Zereda, nnyina nga ye nnamwandu wa Zeruwa, ate nga y’omu ku bakungu ba Sulemaani, n’ajeemera kabaka. 27 (P)Eno y’engeri gye yajeemeramu kabaka: Sulemaani yali azimbye obusenge obuwagika, ng’azibye ebituli ebyali mu bbugwe ow’ekibuga kya Dawudi kitaawe. 28 (Q)Yerobowaamu yali musajja mwesimbu, era Sulemaani bwe yalaba omulimu gwe omulungi, n’amusiima n’amufuula omukulu w’emirimu gyonna egy’amaanyi mu nnyumba ya Yusufu. 29 (R)Awo mu biro ebyo Yerobowaamu bwe yali ng’ava mu Yerusaalemi, n’asisinkana Akiya nnabbi w’e Siiro ng’ayambadde ekyambalo ekiggya, baali bokka ku ttale. 30 (S)Akiya n’addira ekyambalo kye n’akiyuzaamu ebitundu kkumi na bibiri. 31 (T)N’agamba Yerobowaamu nti, “Weetwalire ebitundu kkumi, kubanga bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Laba, ŋŋenda kuggya ku Sulemaani obwakabaka, nkuweeko ebika kkumi. 32 Naye olw’omuddu wange Dawudi n’ekibuga Yerusaalemi, kye neerondera mu bika byonna ebya Isirayiri, alisigazaako ekika kimu. 33 (U)Kino ndikikola kubanga banvuddeko ne basinza Asutoleesi katonda omukazi ow’Abamoni, ne batatambulira mu kkubo lyange, wadde okukola ebituufu mu maaso gange newaakubadde okugondera ebiragiro byange oba amateeka gange, nga Dawudi kitaawe wa Sulemaani bwe yakola.
34 “ ‘Naye Sulemaani sirimuggyako bwakabaka bwonna, wabula ndimuleka nga y’afuga ennaku zonna ez’obulamu bwe olw’omuddu wange Dawudi, gwe nalonda era eyagondera amateeka n’ebiragiro byange. 35 Ndiggya obwakabaka ku mutabani wa Sulemaani, ne nkuwa ebika kkumi. 36 (V)Ekika ekimu ndikiwa mutabani we, omuddu wange Dawudi abeerenga n’ettabaaza mu maaso gange mu Yerusaalemi, ekibuga kye neeroboza olw’erinnya lyange. 37 (W)Wabula, ggwe ndikutwala, era olifuga wonna omutima gwo gye gulisiima, era olibeera kabaka wa Isirayiri. 38 (X)Bw’onoogonderanga byonna bye nkulagira n’otambuliranga mu makubo gange, era n’okolanga ebituufu mu maaso gange ng’okugonderanga ebiragiro n’amateeka gange, nga Dawudi omuddu wange bwe yakola, nnaabeeranga naawe. Ndikukolera ekika eky’enkalakkalira, nga kye nakolera Dawudi, era ndikuwa ne Isirayiri. 39 Kyendiva nzikakkanya ezzadde lya Dawudi, naye si bbanga lyonna.’ ”
40 (Y)Sulemaani n’agezaako okutta Yerobowaamu, naye Yerobowaamu n’addukira e Misiri, ewa Sisaki[b] kabaka waayo, n’abeera eyo okutuusa Sulemaani bwe yafa.
Okufa kwa Sulemaani
41 Ebyo byonna ebyabaawo ku mulembe gwa Sulemaani, ne byonna bye yakola, n’amagezi ge yalaga, byawandiikibwa mu bitabo eby’ebyafaayo ebya Sulemaani. 42 Sulemaani yafuga Isirayiri yonna ng’ali mu Yerusaalemi okumala emyaka amakumi ana. 43 (Z)N’afa n’aziikibwa mu kibuga kya Dawudi kitaawe. Awo Lekobowaamu mutabani we n’amusikira.

Solomon’s Wives
11 King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women(A) besides Pharaoh’s daughter—Moabites, Ammonites,(B) Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. 2 They were from nations about which the Lord had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry(C) with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.” Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. 3 He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines,(D) and his wives led him astray.(E) 4 As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods,(F) and his heart was not fully devoted(G) to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been. 5 He followed Ashtoreth(H) the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molek(I) the detestable god of the Ammonites. 6 So Solomon did evil(J) in the eyes of the Lord; he did not follow the Lord completely, as David his father had done.
7 On a hill east(K) of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh(L) the detestable god of Moab, and for Molek(M) the detestable god of the Ammonites. 8 He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and offered sacrifices to their gods.
9 The Lord became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared(N) to him twice. 10 Although he had forbidden Solomon to follow other gods,(O) Solomon did not keep the Lord’s command.(P) 11 So the Lord said to Solomon, “Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees,(Q) which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear(R) the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates. 12 Nevertheless, for the sake of David(S) your father, I will not do it during your lifetime. I will tear it out of the hand of your son. 13 Yet I will not tear the whole kingdom from him, but will give him one tribe(T) for the sake(U) of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”(V)
Solomon’s Adversaries
14 Then the Lord raised up against Solomon an adversary,(W) Hadad the Edomite, from the royal line of Edom. 15 Earlier when David was fighting with Edom, Joab the commander of the army, who had gone up to bury the dead, had struck down all the men in Edom.(X) 16 Joab and all the Israelites stayed there for six months, until they had destroyed all the men in Edom. 17 But Hadad, still only a boy, fled to Egypt with some Edomite officials who had served his father. 18 They set out from Midian and went to Paran.(Y) Then taking people from Paran with them, they went to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave Hadad a house and land and provided him with food.
19 Pharaoh was so pleased with Hadad that he gave him a sister of his own wife, Queen Tahpenes, in marriage. 20 The sister of Tahpenes bore him a son named Genubath, whom Tahpenes brought up in the royal palace. There Genubath lived with Pharaoh’s own children.
21 While he was in Egypt, Hadad heard that David rested with his ancestors and that Joab the commander of the army was also dead. Then Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me go, that I may return to my own country.”
22 “What have you lacked here that you want to go back to your own country?” Pharaoh asked.
“Nothing,” Hadad replied, “but do let me go!”
23 And God raised up against Solomon another adversary,(Z) Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from his master, Hadadezer(AA) king of Zobah. 24 When David destroyed Zobah’s army, Rezon gathered a band of men around him and became their leader; they went to Damascus,(AB) where they settled and took control. 25 Rezon was Israel’s adversary as long as Solomon lived, adding to the trouble caused by Hadad. So Rezon ruled in Aram(AC) and was hostile toward Israel.
Jeroboam Rebels Against Solomon
26 Also, Jeroboam son of Nebat rebelled(AD) against the king. He was one of Solomon’s officials, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, and his mother was a widow named Zeruah.
27 Here is the account of how he rebelled against the king: Solomon had built the terraces[a](AE) and had filled in the gap in the wall of the city of David his father. 28 Now Jeroboam was a man of standing,(AF) and when Solomon saw how well(AG) the young man did his work, he put him in charge of the whole labor force of the tribes of Joseph.
29 About that time Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, and Ahijah(AH) the prophet of Shiloh met him on the way, wearing a new cloak. The two of them were alone out in the country, 30 and Ahijah took hold of the new cloak he was wearing and tore(AI) it into twelve pieces. 31 Then he said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself, for this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘See, I am going to tear(AJ) the kingdom out of Solomon’s hand and give you ten tribes. 32 But for the sake(AK) of my servant David and the city of Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, he will have one tribe. 33 I will do this because they have[b] forsaken me and worshiped(AL) Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Molek the god of the Ammonites, and have not walked(AM) in obedience to me, nor done what is right in my eyes, nor kept my decrees(AN) and laws as David, Solomon’s father, did.
34 “‘But I will not take the whole kingdom out of Solomon’s hand; I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David my servant, whom I chose and who obeyed my commands and decrees. 35 I will take the kingdom from his son’s hands and give you ten tribes. 36 I will give one tribe(AO) to his son so that David my servant may always have a lamp(AP) before me in Jerusalem, the city where I chose to put my Name. 37 However, as for you, I will take you, and you will rule(AQ) over all that your heart desires;(AR) you will be king over Israel. 38 If you do whatever I command you and walk in obedience to me and do what is right(AS) in my eyes by obeying my decrees(AT) and commands, as David my servant did, I will be with you. I will build you a dynasty(AU) as enduring as the one I built for David and will give Israel to you. 39 I will humble David’s descendants because of this, but not forever.’”
40 Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam fled(AV) to Egypt, to Shishak(AW) the king, and stayed there until Solomon’s death.
Solomon’s Death(AX)
41 As for the other events of Solomon’s reign—all he did and the wisdom he displayed—are they not written in the book of the annals of Solomon? 42 Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. 43 Then he rested with his ancestors and was buried in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam(AY) his son succeeded him as king.
