1 Amakhosi 11

¹Kepha inkosi uSolomoni yathanda abesifazane abaningi bezizwe, kanye nendodakazi kaFaro, abesifazane bakwaMowabi, nabakwa-Amoni, nabakwa-Edomi, namaSidoni, namaHeti;

²Ezizweni uJehova asho ngazo kubantwana bakwa-Israyeli ukuthi: “Ningangeni kuzo, nazo zingangeni kini;

³Wayenabafazi abangamakhulu ayisikhombisa, amakhosazana, nezancinza ezingamakhulu amathathu; omkakhe bayiphambukisa inhliziyo yakhe.

⁴Ngokuba uSolomoni esemdala, abafazi bakhe bayiphambukisa inhliziyo yakhe ukuba ilandele abanye onkulunkulu; inhliziyo yakhe yayingaphelele kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe njengenhliziyo kaDavide uyise.

⁵USolomoni walandela uAshitoreti unkulunkulu wamaSidoni noMilkomu isinengiso sabantwana bakwa-Amoni.

⁶USolomoni wenza okubi emehlweni kaJehova, akamlandelanga uJehova ngokupheleleyo njengoDavide uyise.

⁷USolomoni wamakhela uKemoshi isinengiso sakwaMowabi indawo ephakemeyo entabeni ephambi kweJerusalema, noMologi isinengiso sabantwana bakwa-Amoni.

⁸Wenzela njalo kubo bonke abafazi bakhe bezizwe ababenikela impepho bahlabela onkulunkulu babo.

⁹UJehova wamthukuthelela uSolomoni, ngokuba inhliziyo yakhe yayisiphendukile kuJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli owabonakala kuye kabili;

¹⁰Wamyala ngale ndaba ukuthi angalandeli abanye onkulunkulu, kepha akakugcinanga lokho uJehova amyale ngakho.

¹¹Ngakho uJehova wathi kuSolomoni: “Ngenxa yokuthi lokhu kwenziwe kuwe, futhi awugcinanga isivumelwano sami nezimiso zami engakuyala ngakho, ngokuqinisekile ngizowuhlwitha umbuso kuwe ngiwunike inceku yakho.

¹²Kodwa ezinsukwini zakho kangiyikukwenza lokhu ngenxa kayihlo uDavida; kodwa ngiyakuwuhlwitha esandleni sendodana yakho.

¹³Kodwa kangiyikuwuklebhula wonke umbuso; kodwa ngizayinika indodana yakho isizwe esisodwa ngenxa yenceku yami uDavida langenxa yeJerusalema engilikhethileyo.

¹⁴UJehova wamvusela uSolomoni isitha, uHadadi wakwa-Edomi; wayengowozalo lwenkosi kwa-Edomi.

¹⁵Kwathi lapho uDavide ese-Edomi, uJowabe induna yempi wenyuka ukuyombela ababuleweyo, esebulele bonke abesilisa kwa-Edomi;

¹⁶UJowabe wahlala lapho no-Israyeli wonke izinyanga eziyisithupha waze wabhubhisa bonke abesilisa kwa-Edomi.

¹⁷UHadadi wabaleka, yena nabathile bakwa-Edomi bezinceku zikayise kanye naye, baya eGibithe; UHadadi usengumntwana omncane.

¹⁸Basuka kwaMidiyani, bafika ePharanu; owamnika indlu wambekela ukudla, wamnika nezwe.

¹⁹UHadadi wafumana umusa omkhulu emehlweni kaFaro, waze wamnika udadewabo womkakhe, udadewabo kaThahipenesi indlovukazi, abe ngumkakhe.

²⁰Udadewabo kaThahipenesi wamzalela uGenubati indodana yakhe, uThahipenesi amlumula endlini kaFaro; uGenubati wayesendlini kaFaro phakathi kwamadodana kaFaro.

²¹UHadadi esezwile eGibithe ukuthi uDavide wayeselele koyise, nokuthi uJowabe induna yempi ufile, uHadadi wathi kuFaro: “Ngivumele ngihambe ngiye ezweni lakithi.”

²²UFaro wasesithi kuye: Kodwa usweleni kimi, ukuthi ukhangele, ufuna ukuya elizweni lakini? Wasesithi: Lutho; Nokho, ngivumele ngihambe noma ngayiphi indlela.

²³UNkulunkulu wamvusela omunye omelene naye, uReshoni, indodana ka-Eliyada, owabaleka enkosini yakhe uHadadezeri, inkosi yaseSoba.

²⁴Wabutha amadoda kanye naye, waba yinhloko yeviyo, lapho uDavide ebulala abaseSoba; baya eDamaseku, bahlala kulo, babusa eDamaseku.

²⁵Waba yisitha sika-Israyeli zonke izinsuku zikaSolomoni, ngaphandle kokubi uHadadi akwenzayo; wamzonda u-Israyeli, wabusa phezu kwama-Aramu.

²⁶UJerobowamu, indodana kaNebati, umEfrayimi waseSereda, inceku kaSolomoni, ogama likanina lalinguZeruwa umfelokazi, yebo, wasiphakamisela isandla sakhe enkosini.

²⁷Yilesi isizathu sokuba aphakamisele isandla sakhe enkosini: USolomoni wakha iMilo, walungisa izimfa zomuzi kaDavide uyise.

²⁸Indoda uJerobowamu yayiliqhawe elinesibindi; lapho uSolomoni ebona insizwa ukuthi ikhuthele, wayimisa phezu kwayo yonke inkonzo yendlu kaJosefa.

²⁹Kwathi ngaleso sikhathi uJerobowamu ephuma eJerusalema, umprofethi u-Ahiya waseShilo wamfumana endleleni; wembatha ingubo entsha; babebodwa endle bobabili.

³⁰U-Ahiya wayesethatha ingubo entsha ayeyigqokile, wayiklebhula iziqephu eziyishumi nambili.

³¹Wathi kuJerobowamu: “Zithathele izingxenye eziyishumi, ngokuba usho kanje uJehova uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, uthi: ‘Bheka, ngiyakudabula umbuso esandleni sikaSolomoni, ngikunike izizwe eziyishumi;

³²Kodwa yena uzakuba lesizwe esisodwa ngenxa yenceku yami uDavida langenxa yeJerusalema, umuzi engiwukhethileyo kuzo zonke izizwe zakoIsrayeli.

³³Ngokuba bangishiyile, bakhuleka ku-Ashitaroti, unkulunkulu wamaSidoni, noKemoshi, unkulunkulu wamaMowabi, noMilkomu, unkulunkulu wabantwana bakwa-Amoni, abahambanga ngezindlela zami ukwenza okulungile emehlweni ami amehlo, nokugcina izimiso zami nezahlulelo zami, njengoDavide uyise.

³⁴Kodwa ngeke ngiwususe wonke umbuso esandleni sakhe, kodwa ngokuqinisekile ngizombeka abe yisikhulu zonke izinsuku zokuphila kwakhe ngenxa kaDavide inceku yami engiyikhethile, ngoba yagcina imiyalo yami nezimiso zami.

³⁵Kodwa ngizawuthatha umbuso esandleni sendodana yakhe ngiwunike wena, izizwe ezilitshumi.

³⁶Indodana yakhe ngizayinika isizwe esisodwa, ukuze inceku yami uDavida ibe lokukhanya njalo phambi kwami eJerusalema, umuzi engizikhethele wona ukuthi ngimise khona ibizo lami.

³⁷Futhi ngizokuthatha, futhi uyoba yinkosi njengoba nje umphefumulo wakho ufisa, futhi uyoba yinkosi phezu kuka-Israyeli.

³⁸Uma ulalela konke engikuyala ngakho, uhambe ezindleleni zami, wenze okulungile emehlweni ami, ugcine izimiso zami nemiyalo yami, njengalokho enzile uDavide inceku yami; ngiyakuba nawe, ngikwakhele indlu eqinile, njengalokho ngakwakhela uDavide, ngikunike u-Israyeli.

³⁹Futhi ngenxa yalokho ngiyocindezela inzalo kaDavide, kodwa hhayi kuze kube phakade.

⁴⁰USolomoni wazama ukubulala uJerobowamu. UJerobowamu wayeseqeda, wabalekela eGibithe kuShishaki inkosi yaseGibithe, wahlala eGibithe waze wafa uSolomoni.

⁴¹Ezinye izindaba zikaSolomoni, nakho konke akwenzayo, nokuhlakanipha kwakhe, angithi kulotshiwe encwadini yezindaba zemihla ngemihla kaSolomoni na?

⁴²Isikhathi uSolomoni abusa ngaso eJerusalema phezu kuka-Israyeli wonke sasiyiminyaka engamashumi amane.

⁴³USolomoni wayeselala koyise, wembelwa emzini kaDavide uyise; uRehobowamu indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.
