11 ¹Mfumu Solomoni anakonda akazi ambiri achilendo kuwonjezera pa mwana wamkazi wa Farao—Amowabu, Aamoni, Aedomu, Asidoni, Ahiti,

²ochokera mwa mitundu imene Atate wathu anawuza ana a Isiraeli kuti, “Musakwatirane nawo, kapena iwo kukwatirana nanu, pakuti ndithu adzatembenuza mtima wanu kutsatira milungu yawo.” Solomoni anakakamira kwa amenewa mwachikondi.

³Iye anali ndi akazi 700 amene anali ana a mafumu, ndi adzakazi 300, ndipo akazi ake anatembenuza mtima wake. ⁴Pamene Solomoni anakalamba, akazi ake anatembenuzira mtima wake ku milungu ina, ndipo mtima wake sunali wodzipereka kwathunthu kwa Atate wathu, monga unalili mtima wa Davide atate wake. ⁵Solomoni anatsatira Asitoreti mulungu wamkazi wa Asidoni, ndi Milikomu chonyansa cha Aamoni. ⁶Solomoni anachita zoipa pamaso pa Atate wathu ndipo sanatsate Atate wathu kwathunthu, monga anachitira atate wake Davide. ⁷Ndipo Solomoni anamanga malo okwera pa phiri la kummawa kwa Yerusalemu, kaamba ka Kemosi, mulungu wonyansa wa Mowabu, ndi kaamba ka Moleki, mulungu wonyansa wa Aamoni. ⁸Momwemonso anachitira akazi ake onse achilendo, amene anafukiza lubani ndi kupereka nsembe kwa milungu yawo.

⁹Atate wathu anamkwiyira Solomoni chifukwa mtima wake unapatuka kwa Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Isiraeli, amene anamuonekera kawiri, ¹⁰ndipo anamlamula za chinthu chomwechi, kuti asatsatire milungu ina. Koma iye sanasunge zimene Atate wathu anamlamula.

¹¹Choncho Atate wathu anati kwa Solomoni, “Popeza umu ndi mmene wachitira, ndipo sunasunge pangano langa ndi malangizo anga amene ndinakulamula, ndithu ndidzang'amba ufumu kuchoka kwa iwe, ndi kuupereka kwa wantchito wako.

¹²“Koma chifukwa cha Davide atate wako, sindidzachita zimenezi masiku a moyo wako; ndidzauang'amba kuchoka m'dzanja la mwana wako. ¹³Komabe sindidzang'amba ufumu wonse; ndidzapatsa mwana wako fuko limodzi, chifukwa cha Davide wantchito wanga ndi cha Yerusalemu, mzinda umene ndinausankha.”

Atate Anadzutsa Hadadi

¹⁴Ndipo Atate wathu anadzutsa mdani kudzatsutsa Solomoni: Hadadi Mwedomu, wa mbumba yachifumu ya ku Edomu. ¹⁵Pamene Davide anamenyana ndi Edomu, ndipo Yowabu mkulu wa ankhondo anakwera kukayika maliro, Yowabu anali atakantha amuna onse a ku Edomu. ¹⁶(Yowabu ndi Aisiraeli onse anakhala kumeneko miyezi isanu ndi umodzi, mpaka atawononga amuna onse a ku Edomu.). ¹⁷Koma Hadadi anathawira ku Igupto pamodzi ndi Aedomu ena a antchito a atate wake; Hadadi anali akanali kamnyamata. ¹⁸Iwo anachoka ku Midiyani kupita ku Parani, natenga amuna pamodzi nawo kuchokera ku Parani, napita ku Igupto, kwa Farao mfumu ya Igupto, amene anapatsa Hadadi nyumba, chakudya, ndi dziko. ¹⁹Hadadi anapeza chisomo chachikulu pamaso pa Farao, kotero anamupatsa kuti akwatire mchemwali wa mkazi wake, mchemwali wa mfumukazi Tapenesi. ²⁰Mchemwali wa Tapenesi anamberekera mwana wamwamuna, Genubati, amene Tapenesi anamuletsa kuyamwa mu nyumba ya Farao; Genubati anakhala kumeneko pakati pa ana a Farao. ²¹Pamene Hadadi anamva ali ku Igupto kuti Davide wapumula ndi makolo ake, ndi kuti Yowabu mkulu wa ankhondo anamwalira, anati kwa Farao, “Mundilole ndipite, kuti ndibwerere ku dziko langa.”

²²Farao anati, “Kodi wasowa chiyani kuno, kuti tsopano ufuna kupita ku dziko lako?” Iye anayankha nati, “Palibe, koma chonde mundilole ndipite.”

²³Atate wathu anadzutsanso mdani wina kudzatsutsa Solomoni: Rezoni mwana wa Eliyada, amene anathawa mbuye wake Hadadezeri mfumu ya Zoba. ²⁴Iye anasonkhanitsa amuna nakhala mtsogoleri wa gulu la achifwamba, pamene Davide anapha amuna a Zoba. Iwo anapita ku Damasiko, nakhazikika kumeneko, namuika kukhala mfumu mu Damasiko. ²⁵Rezoni anatsutsa Isiraeli masiku onse a Solomoni, nawonjeza ku zoipa zimene Hadadinso anachita; iye anadana ndi Isiraeli naulamulira Aramu.

Yeroboamu Anakweza Dzanja Lake

²⁶Yeroboamu mwana wa Nebati, Mwefuraimu wa ku Zereda, wantchito wa Solomoni amene mayi wake anali mkazi wamasiye dzina lake Zeruya, iyenso anawukira mfumu. ²⁷Ichi ndi chifukwa chake anakweza dzanja lake kutsutsa mfumu: Solomoni anamanga Milo nabumbitsa pamene panang'ambika mu mzinda wa Davide atate wake. ²⁸Yeroboamu anali munthu waluso kwambiri, ndipo pamene Solomoni anaona kuti mnyamatayo amagwira ntchito molimbika, anamuika kukhala woyang'anira ntchito yonse yokakamiza ya nyumba ya Yosefe. ²⁹Pa nthawi imeneyo Yeroboamu anachoka ku Yerusalemu, ndipo Ahiya Msilo, mneneri, anakumana naye pa njira. Ahiya anali atavala mkanjo watsopano, ndipo awiriwo anali okha kuthengo. ³⁰Ndipo Ahiya anagwira mkanjo watsopano umene anavala, nauung'amba zidutswa khumi ndi ziwiri.

³¹Anati kwa Yeroboamu, “Tenga zidutswa khumi, pakuti Atate wathu, Mulungu wa Isiraeli, akuti: ‘Taona, ndatsala pang'ono kung'amba ufumu kuchoka m'dzanja la Solomoni, ndi kukupatsa iwe mafuko khumi.

³²‘Koma fuko limodzi lidzakhalabe lake, chifukwa cha wantchito wanga Davide ndi cha Yerusalemu, mzinda umene ndinausankha pakati pa mafuko onse a Isiraeli. ³³Ndidzachita zimenezi chifukwa anandisiya Ine, napembedza Asitoreti mulungu wamkazi wa Asidoni, Kemosi mulungu wa Mowabu, ndi Milikomu mulungu wa Aamoni, ndipo sanayende m'njira zanga—kuchita zolungama pamaso panga, kusunga malangizo ndi malamulo anga—monga anachitira atate wake Davide.

³⁴Koma sindidzachotsa ufumu wonse m'dzanja lake; ndidzamusunga kukhala wolamulira masiku onse a moyo wake, chifukwa cha Davide wantchito wanga, amene ndinamsankha, amene anasunga malamulo anga ndi malangizo anga. ³⁵Koma ndidzachotsa ufumu m'dzanja la mwana wake, ndi kuupereka kwa iwe—mafuko khumi. ³⁶Koma kwa mwana wake ndidzapereka fuko limodzi, kuti Davide wantchito wanga akhale ndi nyale pamaso panga nthawi zonse mu Yerusalemu, mzinda umene ndinausankha kuti ndiike dzina langa. ^a a v36 Ngakhale mu chiweruzo, Atate wathu amasunga nyale ikuyaka kaamba ka mbumba ya Davide—kuwala kosaduka kumene akukusunga mpaka kwa Yesu, Mwana wa Davide amene mwa Iye mbumbayo sidzazimiririka konse. ³⁷Ndidzakutenga iwe, ndipo udzalamulira pa zonse zimene mtima wako ukufuna; udzakhala mfumu ya Isiraeli. ³⁸Ngati udzamvera zonse zimene ndikulamula, nuyenda m'njira zanga, nuchita zolungama pamaso panga mwa kusunga malangizo ndi malamulo anga monga anachitira Davide wantchito wanga, ndidzakhala nawe, ndi kukumangira nyumba yokhalitsa, monga ndinamangira Davide, ndi kukupatsa iwe Isiraeli. ³⁹Ndidzabweretsa masautso pa mbewu ya Davide chifukwa cha ichi, koma osati kwamuyaya.’”

⁴⁰Choncho Solomoni anafuna kupha Yeroboamu, koma Yeroboamu anathawira ku Igupto, kwa Sisaki mfumu ya Igupto, nakhala kumeneko mpaka Solomoni atamwalira.
