Igitabo cya mbere cy’Abami
11 Umwami Salomo yakunze abandi bagore bo mu bindi bihugu benshi,+ biyongeraga ku mukobwa wa Farawo.+ Yashatse Abamowabukazi,+ Abamonikazi,+ Abedomukazi, Abasidonikazi+ n’Abahetikazi.+ 2 Yehova yari yarabwiye Abisirayeli ati: “Ntimuzifatanye na bo* kandi na bo ntibazifatanye namwe; kuko byanze bikunze bazahindura umutima wanyu mugakorera imana zabo.”+ Ariko abagore bo muri ibyo bihugu ni bo Salomo yifatanyije na bo kandi arabakunda. 3 Salomo yari afite abagore 700 b’abanyacyubahiro n’inshoreke 300 kandi abo bagore bagiye bamuyobya buhoro buhoro. 4 Salomo amaze gusaza+ abagore be bayobeje umutima we, akorera izindi mana;+ kandi ntiyari agikorera Yehova Imana ye n’umutima we wose nk’uko papa we Dawidi yari ameze. 5 Salomo asenga imanakazi y’Abasidoni yitwaga Ashitoreti,+ na Milikomu,+ ni ukuvuga imana iteye iseseme y’Abamoni. 6 Salomo yakoze ibyo Yehova yanga, ntiyakorera Yehova n’umutima wuzuye nka papa we Dawidi.+
7 Icyo gihe ni bwo Salomo yubatse ahantu ho gusengera+ Kemoshi, imana iteye iseseme y’i Mowabu ku musozi urebana n’i Yerusalemu, yubaka n’ahantu ho gusengera Moleki+ imana iteye iseseme y’Abamoni ku musozi urebana n’i Yerusalemu.+ 8 Ibyo ni byo yakoreye abagore bo mu bindi bihugu bose batambaga ibitambo maze umwotsi wabyo ukazamuka.
9 Yehova arakarira Salomo cyane, kubera ko yaretse gukorera Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli n’umutima we wose,+ wamubonekeye inshuro ebyiri zose,+ 10 akanamubuza gukurikira izindi mana.+ Ariko Salomo ntiyumviye ibyo Yehova yamutegetse. 11 Yehova abwira Salomo ati: “Kubera ibyo bintu wakoze, ukaba utarubahirije isezerano ryanjye, ntukurikize amategeko nagutegetse, nzakwambura ubwami mbuhe umugaragu wawe.+ 12 Icyakora sinzabikora ukiriho, kubera papa wawe Dawidi. Umuhungu wawe ni we nzambura ubwami,+ 13 ariko sinzabumwambura bwose.+ Nzamusigira umuryango umwe,+ bitewe na Dawidi umugaragu wanjye na Yerusalemu natoranyije.”+
14 Nuko Yehova ateza Salomo umwanzi ari we+ Hadadi w’Umwedomu, wakomokaga mu muryango w’umwami wa Edomu.+ 15 Igihe Dawidi yatsindaga abo muri Edomu,+ umugaba w’ingabo ze Yowabu yagiye gushyingura abishwe maze agerageza kwica abantu bose b’igitsina gabo bo muri Edomu. 16 (Yowabu n’Abisirayeli bose bamazeyo amezi atandatu, kugeza igihe biciye* abantu bose b’igitsina gabo bo muri Edomu.) 17 Hadadi yahunganye n’abagabo bake bo muri Edomu bari abagaragu ba papa we, bajya muri Egiputa. Icyo gihe Hadadi yari akiri umwana muto. 18 Bavuye i Midiyani bagera i Parani.+ I Parani bahakuye abandi bagabo bajyana muri Egiputa kwa Farawo umwami wa Egiputa. Nuko Farawo aha Hadadi inzu yo kubamo, amuha ibyokurya, amuha n’isambu. 19 Farawo yakunze Hadadi cyane ku buryo yamushyingiye murumuna w’umugore we, ni ukuvuga Umwamikazi* Tahupenesi. 20 Hashize igihe, murumuna wa Tahupenesi abyarana na Hadadi umuhungu witwaga Genubati. Tahupenesi amujyana mu nzu ya Farawo, akomeza kurererwa mu rugo rwa Farawo, hamwe n’abana ba Farawo.
21 Hadadi akiri muri Egiputa yumva ko Dawidi yapfuye,*+ kandi ko Yowabu wari umugaba w’ingabo na we yapfuye.+ Nuko Hadadi abwira Farawo ati: “Nsezerera njye mu gihugu cyanjye.” 22 Ariko Farawo aramusubiza ati: “Ni iki wamburanye gituma ushaka gusubira mu gihugu cyawe?” Undi aramusubiza ati: “Nta cyo, ariko ndakwinginze reka ngende.”
23 Nanone Imana yateje Salomo undi mwanzi,+ ari we Rezoni umuhungu wa Eliyada, wari warahunze shebuja Hadadezeri,+ umwami w’i Soba. 24 Igihe Dawidi yatsindaga* abantu b’i Soba, Rezoni yateranyirije hamwe abantu akora agatsiko k’abasahuzi akabera umuyobozi.+ Nuko bajya i Damasiko+ baturayo barahategeka. 25 Yabaye umwanzi wa Isirayeli igihe cyose Salomo yari akiri ku butegetsi. Icyo gihe Hadadi na we yajyaga agirira nabi Abisirayeli. Igihe cyose Rezoni yamaze ategeka Siriya, yangaga Abisirayeli cyane.
26 Hari umugabo witwaga Yerobowamu+ umuhungu wa Nebati wo mu muryango wa Efurayimu w’i Sereda, wari umugaragu wa Salomo,+ mama we akaba yari umupfakazi witwaga Seruwa. Na we atangira kwigomeka ku mwami.+ 27 Iki ni cyo cyatumye Yerobowamu yigomeka ku mwami: Salomo yari yarubatse Milo*+ kandi yari yarafunze ahantu papa we Dawidi yari yarasize atubatse, igihe yubakaga urukuta rw’umujyi.+ 28 Yerobowamu yari umugabo ushoboye. Nuko Salomo abonye ko uwo musore yakoranaga umwete, amugira umuyobozi+ w’abakomoka kuri Yozefu bakoraga imirimo y’agahato. 29 Icyo gihe Yerobowamu yavuye i Yerusalemu maze umuhanuzi Ahiya+ w’i Shilo amusanga mu nzira. Ahiya yari yambaye umwenda mushya kandi abo bagabo bombi bari bonyine. 30 Ahiya afata wa mwenda mushya yari yambaye, awucamo ibitambaro 12. 31 Nuko abwira Yerobowamu ati:
“Fata ibi bitambaro 10, kuko Yehova Imana ya Isirayeli yavuze ati: ‘ngiye kwambura Salomo ubwami kandi nzaguha imiryango 10 uyitegeke.+ 32 Ariko azasigara ategeka umuryango umwe,+ kubera umugaragu wanjye Dawidi+ na Yerusalemu, umujyi natoranyije mu mijyi yose ya Isirayeli.+ 33 Ibyo nzabikora kubera ko bantaye+ bakunamira Ashitoreti, imanakazi y’Abasidoni, na Kemoshi, imana y’i Mowabu, na Milikomu, imana y’Abamoni. Ntibakomeje gukora ibyo nabategetse, kuko bakoze ibyo mbona ko bidakwiriye kandi ntibakurikije amategeko n’amabwiriza yanjye nk’uko Dawidi, papa wa Salomo yabigenje. 34 Icyakora sinzamwaka ubwami bwose. Ahubwo nzatuma akomeza kuba umuyobozi igihe cyose azaba akiriho, kubera Dawidi umugaragu wanjye natoranyije,+ kuko yumviye amategeko n’amabwiriza yanjye. 35 Nzambura umwana we ubwami mbuguhe, ni ukuvuga imiryango 10.+ 36 Umwana we nzamuha umuryango umwe, kugira ngo igihe cyose hazabe hari umuntu ukomoka* kuri Dawidi ukomeza gutegekera imbere yanjye muri Yerusalemu,+ umujyi natoranyije kugira ngo mpashyire izina ryanjye. 37 Ni wowe nzahitamo kandi uzategeka ibyo ushaka byose, ube umwami wa Isirayeli. 38 Niwumvira ibyo ngutegeka byose, ugakora ibyo ngusaba kandi ugakora ibyo mbona ko bikwiriye, ukumvira amategeko n’amabwiriza yanjye nk’uko umugaragu wanjye Dawidi yabigenje,+ nanjye nzabana nawe. Nzatuma abagukomokaho bategeka igihe kirekire, nk’uko nabikoreye Dawidi+ kandi nzatuma utegeka Isirayeli. 39 Nzakoza isoni abakomoka kuri Dawidi bitewe n’ibyo bakoze;+ ariko si ko bizahora.’”+
40 Nuko Salomo agerageza kwica Yerobowamu, ariko Yerobowamu ahungira muri Egiputa, kwa Shishaki+ umwami wa Egiputa,+ agumayo kugeza igihe Salomo yapfiriye.
41 Andi mateka ya Salomo n’ibyo yakoze byose n’ubwenge bwe, byanditse mu gitabo cy’amateka ya Salomo.+ 42 Salomo yamaze imyaka 40 i Yerusalemu, ategeka Isirayeli yose. 43 Nuko Salomo arapfa* ashyingurwa mu mujyi wa papa we Dawidi maze umuhungu we Rehobowamu+ amusimbura ku bwami.
