1And king Solomon loved many strange women besides the daughter of Pharao, and women of Moab, and of Ammon, and of Edom, and of Sidon, and of the Hethites:
1Ka naʻe ʻofa ʻa Solomone ki he kau fefine tokolahi ʻoe kakai kehe, fakataha mo e ʻofefine ʻo Felo, ko e kau fefine mei Moape, mo ʻAmoni, mo ʻItomi, mo Saitoni, pea mo Heti;
2Of the nations concerning which the Lord said to the children of Israel: You shall not go in unto them, neither shall any of them come in to yours: for they will most certainly turn away your heart to follow their gods. And to these was Solomon joined with a most ardent love.
2Ko e ngaahi puleʻanga naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻE ʻikai te mou hū atu kiate kinautolu, pea ʻe ʻikai te nau hū mai kiate kimoutolu: he ko e moʻoni te nau liliu homou loto ke muimui ki honau ngaahi ʻotua: naʻe pikitai ʻa Solomone kiate kinautolu ni ʻi he mamana ki ai.
3And he had seven hundred wives as queens, and three hundred concubines: and the women turned away his heart.
3Pea naʻa ne maʻu ʻae uaifi ʻe fitungeau naʻe ʻeiki lahi, pea mo e sinifu ʻe toko tolungeau: pea naʻe fakatafoki hono loto ʻe hono ngaahi uaifi.
4And when he was now old, his heart was turned away by women to follow strange gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
4He naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene fakaʻaʻau ʻo motuʻa ʻa Solomone, naʻe fakatafoki ʻa hono loto ʻe hono ngaahi uaifi ke muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe: pea naʻe ʻikai haohaoa hono loto ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko e loto ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai.
5But Solomon worshipped Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Moloch the idol of the ammonites.
5He naʻe muimui ʻa Solomone ki he ʻotua fefine ʻoe kakai Saitoni ko ʻAsitelote, pea kia Milikomi ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻae kakai ʻAmoni.
6And Solomon did that which was net pleasing before the Lord, and did not fully follow the Lord, as David his father.
6Pea naʻe fai kovi ʻa Solomone ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, pea naʻe ʻikai muimui haohaoa ia kia Sihova, ʻo hangē ko Tevita ko ʻene tamai.
7Then Solomon built a temple for Chamos the idol of Moab, on the hill that is over against Jerusalem, and for Moloch the idol of the children of Ammon.
7Pea naʻe langa ai ʻe Solomone ha potu māʻolunga kia Kimosi, ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻa Moape, ʻi he moʻunga ʻoku hanga ki Selūsalema, pea maʻa Moleki, ko e meʻa fakalielia ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
8And he did in this manner for all his wives that were strangers, who burnt incense, and offered sacrifice to their gods.
8Pea naʻa ne fai pehē foki maʻa hono ngaahi uaifi mei he kakai kehe, ʻaia naʻe tutu meʻa namu kakala mo fai feilaulau ki honau ngaahi ʻotua.
9And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his mind was turned away from the Lord the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
9¶ Pea naʻe houhau ʻa Sihova kia Solomone, koeʻuhi naʻe fakatafoki ʻa hono loto meia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia naʻe ha tuʻo ua mai kiate ia,
10And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not follow strange gods: but he kept not the things which the Lord commanded him.
10Mo ne tuku ʻae fekau kiate ia koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni, ke ʻoua naʻa ne muimui ki he ngaahi ʻotua kehe: ka naʻe ʻikai fai ʻe ia ki he meʻa naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova.
11The Lord therefore said to Solomon: Because thou hast done this, and hast not kept my covenant, and my precepts, which I have commanded thee, I will divide and rend thy kingdom, and will give it to thy servant.
11Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe Sihova kia Solomone, “Koeʻuhi kuo ke fai eni ʻe koe, pea kuo ʻikai te ke fai ki heʻeku fuakava mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻaia kuo u fekau kiate koe, ko e moʻoni te u hae ʻae puleʻanga meiate koe, pea te u foaki ia ki hoʻo tamaioʻeiki.
12Nevertheless 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.
12Ka koeʻuhi ko hoʻo tamai ko Tevita ʻe ʻikai te u fai ia ʻi ho ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻou: ka te u hae atu ia mei he nima ʻo ho foha.
13Neither will I take away the whole kingdom, but I will give one tribe to thy son for the sake of David my servant, and Jerusalem which I have chosen.
13Ka ʻe ʻikai foki te u hae atu ʻae puleʻanga kātoa; ka te u foaki ʻae faʻahinga ʻe taha ki ho foha, koeʻuhi ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, pea koeʻuhi ko Selūsalema ʻaia kuo u fili.”
14And the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Adad the Edomite of the king’s seed, in Edom.
14¶ Pea naʻe ueʻi hake ʻe Sihova ha fili kia Solomone, ko Hatati ko e tangata ʻItomi: naʻa ne ʻoe hako ʻoe tuʻi ʻi ʻItomi.
15For when David was in Edom, and Joab the general of the army was gone up to bury them that were slain, and had killed every male in Edom,
15He naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi heʻene ʻi ʻItomi ʻa Tevita, pea kuo ʻalu hake ʻa Soape ko e ʻeiki pule ki he kau tau ke tanu kinautolu naʻe tāmate, hili ʻa ʻene teʻia ʻae kakai tangata kotoa pē ʻi ʻItomi;
16(For Joab remained there six months with all Israel, till he had slain every male in Edom,)
16(Naʻe nofo ʻi ai ʻa Soape mo ʻIsileli kātoa ʻi he māhina ʻe ono, kaeʻoua ke fakaʻauha ʻe ia ʻae kau tangata kotoa pē ʻi ʻItomi:)
17Then Adad fled, he and certain Edomites, of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt: and Adad was then a little boy.
17Pea naʻe hola ʻa Hatati, ko ia mo e niʻihi ʻoe kau ʻItomi ko e kau tamaioʻeiki ʻo ʻene tamai, ke nau ʻalu ki ʻIsipite; he naʻe kei tamasiʻi siʻi pe ʻa Hatati.
18And they arose out of Madian, and came into Pharan, and they took men with them from Pharan, and went into Egypt to Pharao the king of Egypt: who gave him a house, and appointed him victuals, and assigned him land.
18Pea naʻa nau tuʻu hake mei Mitiane, ʻo hoko mai ki Palani: pea naʻa nau ʻave ʻae kau tangata mo kinautolu mei Palani, pea naʻa nau haʻu ki ʻIsipite, kia Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite; ʻaia naʻa ne ʻange moʻona ha fale, mo ne tuku kiate ia haʻane meʻakai, ʻo ne foaki kiate ia ha konga fonua.
19And Adad found great favour before Pharao, insomuch that he gave him to wife, the own sister of his wife Taphnes the queen.
19Pea naʻe ʻofeina lahi ʻa Hatati ʻi he ʻao ʻo Felo, ko ia naʻa ne foaki ai kiate ia ʻae tokoua ʻo hono uaifi ʻoʻona ke na mali, ʻio, ʻae tokoua ʻo Tapanise ko e tuʻi fefine.
20And the sister of Taphnes bore him his son Genubath, and Taphnes brought him up in the house of Pharao: and Genubath dwelt with Pharao among his children.
20Pea naʻe fanau kiate ia ʻe he tokoua ʻo Tapanise ʻa hono foha ko Kinupate, ʻaia naʻe fakamavae ʻe Tapanise ʻi he fale ʻo Felo: pea naʻe nofo ʻa Kinupate ʻi he ʻapi ʻo Felo fakataha mo e ngaahi foha ʻo Felo.
21And when Adad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the general of the army was dead, he said to Pharao: Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.
21Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe Hatati ʻi ʻIsipite kuo mohe ʻa Tevita mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea kuo pekia ʻa Soape ʻae ʻeiki pule ʻoe kautau, naʻe pehē ʻe Hatati kia Felo, “Tuku au ke u ʻalu, koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu ki hoku fonua ʻoʻoku.”
22And Pharao said to him: Why, what is wanting to thee with me, that thou seekest to go to thy own country? But he answered: Nothing: yet I beseech thee to let me go.
22Pea naʻe toki pehē kiate ia ʻe Felo, “Kae vakai, kuo ke masiva ʻi he hā ʻiate au, ke pehē ai hoʻo fie ʻalu ki ho fonua ʻoʻou?” Pea naʻa ne pehēange, “ʻOku ʻikai, kae kehe pe ke tuku au ke u ʻalu.”
23God also raised up against him an adversary, Razon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his master Adarezer the king of Soba:
23Pea naʻe ueʻi hake ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae fili ʻe tokotaha, ko Lisoni ko e foha ʻo Iliate, ʻaia naʻe hola mei heʻene ʻeiki ko Hetatesa ko e tuʻi ʻo Sopa:
24And he gathered men against him, and he became a captain of robbers, when David slew them of Soba: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt there, and they made him king in Damascus.
24Pea naʻa ne tānaki mai ʻae kau tangata kiate ia, pea ne hoko ko e ʻeiki ʻo ha kongakau, ʻi he kuonga naʻe teʻia ai ʻe Tevita kinautolu: pea naʻa nau ʻalu ki Tamasikusi, ʻo nofo ai, ʻo ne pule ʻi Tamasikusi.
25And he was an adversary to Israel, all the days of Solomon: and this is the evil of Adad, and his hatred against Israel, and he reigned in Syria.
25Pea ko e fili ia ki ʻIsileli lolotonga ʻae ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo Solomone, ka ʻoku lau kehe ʻae kovi naʻe hoko meia Hatati: pea naʻa ne fakaliliʻa ki ʻIsileli, mo ne pule ki Silia.
26Jeroboam also the son of Nabat an Ephrathite of Sareda, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Sarua, a widow woman, lifted up his hand against the king.
26Pea ko Selopoami ko e foha ʻo Nipati, ko e tangata ʻEfalata mei Sileta, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Solomone, ko e hingoa ʻo ʻene faʻē ko Silua, ko e fefine kuo pekia hono husepāniti, ʻio, naʻa mo ia naʻa ne hiki angatuʻu ʻa hono nima ki he tuʻi.
27And this is the cause of his rebellion against him, for Solomon built Mello, and filled up the breach of the city of David his father.
27Pea ko hono ʻuhinga eni ʻo ʻene hiki ʻa hono nima ke angatuʻu ki he tuʻi: naʻe langa ʻe Solomone ʻa Milo, pea naʻa ne toe langa ʻae ngaahi potu naʻe maumau ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai.
28And Jeroboam was a valiant and mighty man: and Solomon seeing him a young man ingenious and industrious, made him chief over the tributes of all the house of Joseph.
28Pea ko e tangata ko Selopoami ko e tangata toʻa lahi ia: pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻe Solomone ki he faʻa ngāue ʻae talavou, naʻa ne fakanofo ia ke pule ki he ngāue kotoa pē ʻi he fale ʻo Siosefa.
29So it came to paste at that time, that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and the prophet Ahias the Silonite, clad with a new garment, found him in the way: and they two were alone in the held.
29Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻi he ʻalu ʻa Selopoami mei Selūsalema, naʻe ʻilo ia ʻi he hala ʻe he palōfita ko ʻAhisa ko e tangata Sailo; pea kuo ne fakakofuʻaki ia ha kofu foʻou; pea ko kinaua pe ʻe toko ua naʻe ʻi he ngoue:
30And Ahias taking his new garment, wherewith he was clad, divided it into twelve parts:
30Pea naʻe puke atu ʻe ʻAhisa ki he kofu foʻou naʻa ne kofuʻaki, mo ne haehae ia ki he konga ʻe hongofulu ma ua:
31And he said to Jeroboam: Take to 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 thee ten tribes.
31Pea naʻa ne pehē kia Selopoami, “Toʻo ʻe koe ʻae konga ʻe hongofulu: he ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘Vakai, te u hae mai ʻae puleʻanga mei he nima ʻo Solomone, pea te u ange ʻae faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu kiate koe.
32But one tribe shall remain to him for the sake of my servant David, and Jerusalem the city, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:
32(Ka ʻe ʻiate ia ʻae faʻahinga ʻe taha koeʻuhi ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, pea koeʻuhi ko Selūsalema, ko e kolo ʻaia kuo u fili mai mei he ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo ʻIsileli:)
33Because he hath forsaken me, and hath adored Astarthe the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chamos the god of Moab, and Moloch the god of the children of Ammon: and hath not walked in my ways, to do justice before me, and to keep my precepts, and judgments as did David his father.
33Koeʻuhi kuo nau liʻaki au, pea kuo nau lotu kia ʻAsitelote ko e ʻotua fefine ʻo Saitoni, mo Kimosi ko e ʻotua ʻoe kakai Moape, mo Milikomi ko e ʻotua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea kuo ʻikai ʻalu ʻakinautolu ʻi hoku ngaahi hala, ke fai totonu ʻi hoku ʻao, pea ki heʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo ʻeku ngaahi fakamaau, ʻo hangē ko Tevita ko ʻene tamai.
34Yet I will not take away all the 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 precepts.
34Ka ʻe ʻikai foki te u toʻo mei hono nima ʻae puleʻanga kātoa: ka te u tuku ia ke tuʻi ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo ʻene moʻui koeʻuhi ko Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ʻaia naʻaku fili, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fai ki heʻeku ngaahi fekau mo ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni:
35But I will take away the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give thee ten tribes:
35Ka te u toʻo mai ʻae puleʻanga mei he nima ʻo hono foha, pea te u ʻange ia kiate koe, ʻio, ʻae faʻahinga ʻe hongofulu.
36And to his son I will give one tribe, that there may remain a lamp for my servant David before me always in Jerusalem the city which I have chosen, that my name might be there.
36Pea ki hono foha ʻoʻona te u ʻange ʻae faʻahinga ʻe taha, koeʻuhi ke ai ha maama maʻuaipē ʻi hoku ʻao ʻi Selūsalema kia Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki, ʻae kolo ko ia kuo u fili ke tuku ki ai ʻa hoku huafa.
37And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign over all that thy soul desireth, and thou shalt be king over Israel.
37Pea te u fili koe, pea te ke pule ʻo tatau mo ia kotoa pē ʻoku holi ki ai ho laumālie, pea te ke tuʻi ʻi ʻIsileli.
38If then thou wilt hearken to all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do what is right before me, keeping my commandments and my precepts, as David my servant did: I will be with thee, and will build thee up a faithful house, as I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to thee:
38Pea ʻe hoko ʻo pehē, kapau te ke fakafanongo ki he meʻa kotoa pē te u fekau kiate koe, pea ke ʻalu ʻi hoku ngaahi hala, mo ke fai totonu ʻi hoku ʻao, ke tauhi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe Tevita ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki; pehē, te u kau kiate koe, mo langa kiate koe ha fale tuʻumaʻu, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻaku fokotuʻu kia Tevita, pea te u foaki ʻa ʻIsileli kiate koe.
39And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but yet not for ever.
39Pea koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni te u fakamamahiʻi ʻae hako ʻo Tevita, ka ʻe ʻikai ke taʻengata.’”
40Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose, and fled into Egypt to Sesac the king of Egypt, and was in Egypt till the death of Solomon.
40Ko ia naʻe kumi ai ʻe Solomone ke ne tāmateʻi ʻa Selopoami. Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻa Selopoami, ʻo ne hola ki ʻIsipite, kia Sisaki ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite, pea naʻa ne ʻi ʻIsipite ʻo aʻu ki he pekia ʻa Solomone.
41And the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom: behold they are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon.
41¶ Pea ko hono toe ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Solomone, mo ia fulipē naʻa ne fai, pea mo ʻene poto, ʻikai kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi ngāue ʻa Solomone?
42And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel, were forty years.
42Pea ko e kuonga naʻe pule ai ʻa Solomone ʻi Selūsalema ki ʻIsileli kātoa ko e taʻu ia ʻe fāngofulu.
43And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father, and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
43Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Solomone ki heʻene ngaahi tamai pea naʻe fai hono putu ki he Kolo ʻo Tevita ko ʻene tamai: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Lehopoami.
