Naagihii Sulaymaan

11 Oo Boqor Sulaymaan wuxuu jeclaaday naago badan oo qalaad, oo aan gabadhii Fircoon ahayn, naagahaas oo ahaa reer Moo'aab, iyo reer Cammoon, iyo reer Edom, iyo reer Siidoon, iyo reer Xeed. Oo quruumahaasuna waxay ahaayeen kuwii Rabbigu reer binu Israa'iil ku yidhi, Idinku ha dhex gelina, iyana yaanay idin soo dhex gelin, waayo, hubaal qalbiyadiinna waxay u jeedinayaan xagga ilaahyadooda; oo Sulaymaan kuwaasuu caashaq u qabtay. Oo wuxuu lahaa toddoba boqol oo naagood oo marwooyin ah, iyo saddex boqol oo naagood oo addoommo ah; oo naagihiisiina qalbigiisii way sii jeediyeen. Oo markii Sulaymaan gaboobay ayaa naagihiisii qalbigiisii u jeediyeen ilaahyo kale xaggood; oo qalbigiisuna kuma qummanayn xagga Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ahaa sidii qalbigii aabbihiis Daa'uud ahaa oo kale. Waayo, Sulaymaan wuxuu raacay Cashtored oo ahayd ilaahaddii reer Siidoon, iyo Milkom oo ahaa karaahiyadii ay reer Cammoon caabudi jireen. Oo Sulaymaan wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ah, oo dhammaantiis ma uu raacin Rabbiga sidii aabbihii Daa'uud. Markaasaa Sulaymaan wuxuu meel sare uga dhisay buurtii Yeruusaalem ku hor tiil Kemoosh oo ahaa karaahiyadii reer Moo'aab, iyo Molokh oo ahaa karaahiyadii reer Cammoon. Oo sidaasuu ugu wada sameeyey naagihiisii qalaadaa oo dhan kuwaasoo uunsi u shidi jiray, allabarina u bixin jiray ilaahyadooda.

Oo Rabbigu Sulaymaan buu u cadhooday, maxaa yeelay, qalbigiisii ayaa ka jeestay Rabbiga Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ah, oo isaga labada jeer u muuqday, 10 oo ku amray wax ku saabsan waxan kuwaasoo ah inuusan raacin ilaahyo kale; laakiinse isagu ma uu xajin wixii Rabbigu ku amray. 11 Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu Sulaymaan ku yidhi, Waxan aad samaysay aawadiis ayaan boqortooyada kaaga xoogayaa, oo waxaan siinayaa addoonkaaga, maxaa yeelay, ma aadan xajin axdigaygii iyo qaynuunnadaydii aan kugu amray. 12 Habase yeeshee, intaad nooshahay saas yeeli maayo, aabbahaa Daa'uud aawadiis; laakiinse waxaan ka xoogayaa wiilkaaga. 13 Oo weliba boqortooyada oo dhan ka wada xoogi maayo, laakiinse qabiil ayaan wiilkaaga siinayaa, addoonkayga Daa'uud aawadiis iyo Yeruusaalem oo aan doortay aawadeed.

Cadaawayaashii Sulaymaan

14 Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Sulaymaan ku kiciyey cadow, kaasoo ahaa Hadad oo reer Edom ahaa, oo ka soo farcamay boqorka Edom. 15 Markii Daa'uud Edom joogay, oo Yoo'aab oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidankuna halkaas u tegey inuu soo aaso dadkii la laayay, kuwaasoo ahaa wixii lab ahaa ee uu Edom ku wada laayay oo dhan; 16 (waayo, Yoo'aab iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu halkaasay iska joogeen intii lix bilood ah, ilaa uu wada jaray wixii lab ahaa ee Edom joogay oo dhan;) 17 waxaa cararay Hadad iyo dhawr reer Edom ah oo ahaa addoommadii aabbihiis inay tagaan dalka Masar, oo Hadadna kolkaas weli inan yar buu ahaa. 18 Oo waxay ka ambabbexeen Midyaan, oo Faaraan tageen; oo rag bay Faaraan ka sii kaxaysteen, oo waxay yimaadeen dalkii Masar, kolkaasay u tageen Fircoon oo ahaa boqorkii Masar, oo isna wuxuu siiyey guri, cuntona joogtuu uga dhigay, dhulna wuu siiyey. 19 Hadadna raallinimo weyn buu ka helay Fircoon, oo xataa wuxuu u guuriyey naagtiisii walaasheed, taasoo la dhalatay boqoraddii Taxfenees. 20 Oo Taxfenees walaasheed waxay isagii u dhashay wiilkiisii Genubad, kaasoo ay Taxfenees guriga Fircoon kaga gudhisay, oo Genubad guriga Fircoon ayuu joogi jiray, isagoo la jooga Fircoon wiilashiisa. 21 Oo markii Hadad Masar ku maqlay in Daa'uud dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, Yoo'aab oo sirkaalkii ciidanka ahaana dhintay ayuu Fircoon ku yidhi, I sii daa aan dalkaygii tagee. 22 Markaasaa Fircoon ku yidhi, War intaad ila joogtay maxaad iga weyday oo aad u doonaysaa inaad dalkaagii tagto? Isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Waxba; laakiinse i sii daa aan tagee.

23 Oo Ilaah haddana wuxuu ku kiciyey cadow kale, oo kaasuna wuxuu ahaa Resoon ina Elyaadaac kaasoo ka cararay sayidkiisii Hadadceser oo boqorkii Soobaah ahaa. 24 Oo rag buu soo urursaday, guutona sirkaal buu u noqday markii Daa'uud kuwii Soobaah laayay; oo Dimishaq bay tageen oo halkaasay iska degeen oo Dimishaq wax ku xukumeen. 25 Oo wakhtigii Sulaymaan noolaa oo dhan cadow buu u ahaa reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxaa kaloo wehliyey belaayadii Hadad ku sameeyey; oo intuu reer binu Israa'iil u karaahsaday ayuu Suuriya boqor u noqday.

Yaaraabcaam Oo Ku Caasiyoobay Sulaymaan

26 Oo waxaa kaloo jiray Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad oo ahaa reer Efraad oo Sereedaah degganaa, kaasu wuxuu ahaa Sulaymaan addoonkiisa, oo hooyadiis magaceeda waxaa la odhan jiray Seruucaah, waxayna ahayd naag carmal ah, oo isna gacantuu boqorka u qaaday. 27 Tanu waxa weeye sababtii uu boqorkii gacanta ugu qaaday: Sulaymaan wuxuu dhisay Millo, oo uu hagaajiyey dildillaacii magaaladii aabbihiis Daa'uud. 28 Oo ninkii Yaaraabcaamna wuxuu ahaa nin xoog leh; markaasaa Sulaymaan wuxuu arkay in ninka dhallintayaru yahay nin aad u shaqeeya, kolkaasuu madax uga dhigay hawshii reer Yuusuf oo dhan. 29 Oo waagaas waxay noqotay, markii Yaaraabcaam Yeruusaalem ka tegey, inuu Nebi Axiiyaah oo ahaa reer Shiiloh isagii jidka ka helay, oo Axiiyaahna dhar cusub buu qabay, oo labadooda keliya ayaa berrin joogay. 30 Markaasaa Axiiyaah qabsaday dharkii cusbaa oo uu qabay, oo wuxuu u kala jeexjeexay laba iyo toban meelood. 31 Kolkaasuu Yaaraabcaam ku yidhi, Toban meelood qaado, waayo, Rabbiga Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ah wuxuu leeyahay, Boqortooyada waan ka xoogayaa Sulaymaan, oo toban qabiil ayaan ku siinayaa, 32 (laakiinse qabiil isagaa u haysanaya addoonkaygii Daa'uud aawadiis, iyo Yeruusaalem oo ah magaaladii aan qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ka doortay aawadeed;) 33 maxaa yeelay, way i dayriyeen, oo waxay caabudeen Cashtored oo ilaahaddii reer Siidoon ah, iyo Kemoosh oo ah ilaahii reer Moo'aab, iyo Milkom oo ah ilaahii reer Cammoon; oo jidadkaygiina kuma ay socon, inay sameeyaan waxa hortayda ku qumman, iyo inay dhawraan qaynuunnadayda iyo xukummadayda, sidii aabbihiis Daa'uud yeeli jiray oo kale. 34 Habase yeeshee boqortooyada oo dhan ka wada qaadi maayo; laakiinse cimrigiisa oo dhan amiir baan ka dhigayaa addoonkaygii Daa'uud oo aan doortay aawadiis, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu dhawray amarradaydii iyo qaynuunnadaydii. 35 Laakiinse boqortooyada waxaan ka qaadayaa wiilkiisa oo adigaan ku siinayaa toban qabiil. 36 Oo wiilkiisana waxaan siinayaa qabiil keliya in addoonkaygii Daa'uud had iyo goorba hortayda laambad ku haysto Yeruusaalem dhexdeeda, taasoo ah magaaladii aan u doortay inaan magacayga halkaas dhigo. 37 Oo waan ku qaadan doonaa, oo waxaad boqor u ahaan doontaa siday naftaadu doonayso, oo dalka Israa'iilna boqor baad ka noqon doontaa. 38 Oo haddaad maqasho waxa aan kugu amro oo dhan, oo aad jidadkaygana ku socotid, oo aad samaysid waxa hortayda ku qumman, oo aad dhawrtid qaynuunnadayda iyo amarradayda, sidii addoonkaygii Daa'uud yeeli jiray oo kale, ayaan kula jiri doonaa, oo waxaan kuu dhisi doonaa reer ammaan ah, sidii aan Daa'uud ugu dhisay oo kale, oo weliba dalka Israa'iilna adigaan ku siinayaa. 39 Oo taas aawadeed Daa'uud farcankiisa waan dhibayaa laakiinse dhibka ku waarin maayo. 40 Sidaas daraaddeed Sulaymaan wuxuu damcay inuu Yaaraabcaam dilo; laakiinse Yaaraabcaam wuu kacay, oo wuxuu u cararay dalka Masar, oo u tegey Shiishaq oo ahaa boqorkii Masar, oo tan iyo markii Sulaymaan geeriyooday ayuu dalka Masar iska joogay.

Dhimashadii Sulaymaan

41 Haddaba Sulaymaan falimihiisii kale iyo wixii uu sameeyey oo dhan, iyo xigmaddiisiiba, sow kuma qorna kitaabkii falimaha Sulaymaan? 42 Oo wakhtigii Sulaymaan reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan Yeruusaalem boqorka ugu ahaa wuxuu ahaa afartan sannadood. 43 Markaasaa Sulaymaan dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa lagu aasay magaaladii aabbihiis Daa'uud; oo wiilkiisii Rexabcaam ayaa meeshiisii boqor ka noqday.

Solomon’s Wives

11 King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women(A) besides Pharaoh’s daughter—Moabites, Ammonites,(B) Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. 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. He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines,(D) and his wives led him astray.(E) 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. He followed Ashtoreth(H) the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molek(I) the detestable god of the Ammonites. So Solomon did evil(J) in the eyes of the Lord; he did not follow the Lord completely, as David his father had done.

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. He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and offered sacrifices to their gods.

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.
