Salomo Srɛ Nyansa
1Salomo ne Misraimhene Farao yɛɛ apam, nam so waree ne babea. Ɔde no bɛtenaa Dawid kurom, kosii sɛ osii nʼahemfi sii Awurade Asɔredan, na ɔtoo Yerusalem ho fasu nso wiei. 2Saa bere no mu, na Israelfo bɔ afɔre wɔ sorɔnsorɔmmea, efisɛ na wonsii asɔredan, mfaa Awurade din ntoo so ɛ. 3Salomo kyerɛɛ ne dɔ a ɔwɔ ma Awurade, efisɛ na ɔnam nʼagya Dawid nkyerɛkyerɛ anammɔn so pɛpɛɛpɛ. Mmom na ɔbɔ afɔre wɔ sorɔnsorɔmmea hɔ, hyew aduhuam wɔ hɔ nso.
4Gibeon na na afɔremuka no mu atitiriw wɔ, ɛhɔ na Salomo kɔbɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre apem wɔ afɔremuka so. 5Anadwo no, Awurade daa ne ho adi kyerɛɛ Salomo wɔ dae mu. Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Dɛn na wopɛ? Bisa na mede bɛma wo.”
6Salomo kae se, “Woada adɔe kɛse pa ara adi akyerɛ mʼagya Dawid, efisɛ na odi wo nokware, yɛ ɔtreneeni a ne koma mu nso da hɔ. Woatoa so ayɛ no saa adɔe kɛse yi ara, na nnɛ yi ara, woama no ɔbabarima sɛ ɔntena nʼahengua nso so.
7“Afei, Awurade, me Nyankopɔn, woasi wʼakoa ɔhene,3.7 Salomo dii ade sɛ ɔhene no, na wadi bɛyɛ mfe aduonu. sɛ minsi mʼagya Dawid anan mu, nanso meyɛ abofra ketewaa bi a minnim sɛnea mesi ayɛ mʼadwuma. 8Ɛha na wʼakoa abedu wɔ nnipa a woapaw wɔn no mu; nnipa a wɔn dodow nti, obi ntumi nkan wɔn. 9Ɛno nti, ma wʼakoa nhumu koma a obetumi de adi wo nkurɔfo so, na obetumi ahu papa ne bɔne ntam nsonoe. Na hena koraa na ɔno nko ara betumi adi saa ɔman a wodi mu, a wɔyɛ wo de yi so?”
10Awurade ani sɔɔ Salomo mmuae no, na nʼani gyee sɛ obisaa nyansa. 11Enti Awurade buae se, “Esiane sɛ woabisa nyansa a wode bedi me manfo so, na woammisa nkwa tenten anaa sika amma wo ho anaa woammisa sɛ wo tamfo bi nwu no nti, 12mede nea woabisa no bɛma wo. Mɛma wo nyansa ne ntease a obiara nnyaa bi da, na obiara nso renya bi da. 13Na nea woammisa no nso, mede bɛka wo ho—sika ne anuonyam. Na ɔhene biara a ɔwɔ wiase nso rentumi mfa ne ho nto wo ho, wo nkwa nna nyinaa mu. 14Na sɛ wudi mʼakyi, na wudi me mmara so sɛ wʼagya Dawid a, mɛma wo nkwa tenten.” 15Na Salomo nyanee, na ohuu sɛ ɛyɛ dae. Ɔkɔɔ Yerusalem kogyinaa Awurade Apam Adaka no anim, na ɔbɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre. Na ohyiaa ne mpanyimfo nyinaa, too wɔn pon.
Salomo Bu Atɛntrenee
16Akyiri no, mmea nguamanfo baanu bi baa ɔhene no nkyɛn, pɛɛ sɛ ɔka wɔn asɛm bi ma wɔn. 17Wɔn mu baako fitii ase se, “Me wura, mesrɛ wo meka se, saa ɔbea yi ne me te fi koro mu. Mewoo ɔba bere a ɔne me te fie hɔ. 18Nnansa akyi no, ɔno nso woo ba. Na yɛn nko ara na yɛte fie hɔ a obiara nka yɛn baanu no ho.
19“Nanso anadwo no, ɔpere kɔdaa ne ba no so, kum no. 20Na ɔsɔree anadwo no faa me ba fii me nkyɛn bere a mada no. Ɔde ne ba a wawu no too me basa so, na ɔfaa me de no kɔtoo ne nkyɛn, ma ɔdae. 21Ade kyee a mepɛɛ sɛ mema me ba no nufu no, na wawu. Nanso anim tetew kakra a mehwɛɛ abofra no yiye no, mihuu sɛ ɛnyɛ me ba no koraa.”
22Ɛhɔ ara na ɔbea baako no gyee hwanyan kae se, “Abofra a wawu no yɛ wo ba no, ɛnna nea onwui no nso yɛ me de no.”
Ɛnna ɔbea a odi kan no nso se, “Dabi da, nea wawu no yɛ wo ba no, na nea onwui no nso yɛ me de no.” Enti wɔtwee asɛm no saa ara wɔ ɔhene no anim.
23Ɔhene no kae se, “Momma yɛmpɛ asɛm no mu nokware yiye. Mo baanu nyinaa, obiara se abofra a onwui no yɛ ne dea, na abofra a wawu no de, ɔnyɛ obiara dea.
24“Sɛ saa na ɛte de a, mommrɛ me afoa.” Enti wɔde afoa brɛɛ ɔhene no. 25Afei, ɔkae se, “Mompae abofra a onwui no mu abien, na momfa fa mma mmea no mu biara.”
26Na ɔbea a nokware, ɔyɛ abofra a ɔte ase no na a ɔpɛ ne ba yi asɛm yiye no teɛteɛɛ mu se, “Ao! Dabi me wura! Fa abofra no ma no. Mesrɛ wo nkum no!”
Nanso ɔbea baako no kae se, “Eye, ɛbɛbɔ yɛn baanu nyinaa. Kyɛ ne mu ma yɛn!”
27Ɛhɔ na ɔhene no kae se, “Munnkum no, na mmom, momfa abofra no mma ɔbea a ɔpɛ sɛ abofra no tena ase no, na ɔno ne ne na no.”
28Ɔhene yi atemmu no trɛw faa Israel mmaa nyinaa, na ɔmanfo no ho dwiriw wɔn wɔ nyansa a Onyankopɔn de ama no, a ɛma no bu atɛntrenee no ho.
Sulemaani Asaba Amagezi
13:1 a 1Bk 7:8 b 1Bk 9:24 c 2Sa 5:7 d 1Bk 7:1; 9:15, 19Awo Sulemaani n’akola endagaano ne Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri era n’awasa muwala we. N’amuleeta mu kibuga kya Dawudi okutuusa lwe yamala okuzimba ennyumba ye n’ennyumba ya Mukama, era ne bbugwe okwetooloola Yerusaalemi. 23:2 Lv 17:3-5; Ma 12:2, 4-5; 1Bk 22:43Kyokka ennyumba ya Mukama yali tenazimbibwa, abantu nga baweerayo ssaddaaka mu bifo eby’enjawulo. 33:3 a Ma 6:5; Zab 31:23; 1Ko 8:3 b 1Bk 2:3; 9:4; 11:4, 6, 38Sulemaani n’ayagala Mukama, ng’atambulira mu mateeka ga Dawudi kitaawe, newaakubadde nga yaweerangayo ssaddaaka era ng’ayotereza n’obubaane ku bifo ebigulumivu.
43:4 1By 16:39Awo kabaka n’agenda e Gibyoni okuweerayo ssaddaaka, kubanga ekyo kye kyali ekifo ekikulu mu byonna, era Sulemaani n’aweerayo ku kyoto ekyo ssaddaaka ezookebwa lukumi. 53:5 a 1Bk 9:2 b Kbl 12:6; Mat 1:20Mukama n’alabikira Sulemaani ekiro mu kirooto e Gibyoni, Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Saba ky’oyagala kyonna kye mba nkuwa.”
63:6 a 1Bk 2:4; 9:4 b 1Bk 1:48Sulemaani n’addamu nti, “Olaze ekisa kingi eri omuddu wo, Dawudi kitange, kubanga yali mwesigwa gy’oli, era mutuukirivu ate nga mwesimbu gy’oli. Era oyongedde okulaga ekisa kino ekingi gy’ali n’omuwa omwana okutuula ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka leero. 73:7 Kbl 27:17; 1By 29:1Kaakano, Ayi Mukama Katonda wange, ofudde omuddu wo okuba kabaka mu kifo kya Dawudi kitange. Naye ndi mwana muto era simanyi ngeri ya kuddukanyaamu mirimu gyange. 83:8 a Ma 7:6 b Lub 15:5Omuddu wo ali wakati mu bantu bo be walonda, eggwanga ekkulu, eritabalika. 93:9 a 2Sa 14:17; Yak 1:5 b Nge 2:3-9; Beb 5:14 c Zab 72:1-2Kale omuddu wo muwe amagezi okufuganga abantu bo, njawulenga ekirungi n’ekibi: kubanga ani ayinza okufuga eggwanga lyo lino ekkulu?”
10Mukama n’asanyuka kubanga Sulemaani yasaba ekyo. 113:11 Yak 4:3Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Kubanga osabye kino, so teweesabidde kuwangaala wadde bugagga, oba okufa kw’abalabe bo, naye weesabidde amagezi okwawulanga emisango, 123:12 a 1Yk 5:14-15 b 1Bk 4:29, 30, 31; 5:12; 10:23; Mub 1:16n’akola ky’osabye. Nzija kukuwa omutima omugezi era omutegeevu, so tewalibeerawo eyali akwenkanye oba alikwenkana. 133:13 a Mat 6:33; Bef 3:20 b 1Bk 4:21-24; Nge 3:1-2, 16 c 1Bk 10:23Era ndikuwa, ne by’otosabye: obugagga n’ekitiibwa waleme kubeerawo kabaka akwenkana mu kiseera kyo. 143:14 a nny 6; Nge 3:1-2, 16 b Zab 61:6; 91:16Era bw’onootambuliranga mu makubo gange, n’okukwatanga amateeka gange n’ebiragiro byange, nga kitaawo Dawudi bwe yakola, ndyongera ku nnaku zo.” 153:15 a Lub 41:7 b 1Bk 8:65 c Mak 6:21 d Es 1:3, 9; Dan 5:1Awo Sulemaani n’azuukuka n’amanya nga kibadde kirooto.
N’akomawo e Yerusaalemi, n’ayimirira mu maaso g’essanduuko ey’endagaano ya Mukama n’awaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa n’ebiweebwayo olw’emirembe, era n’agabula abaweereza be ekijjulo.
Sulemaani Asala Omusango Omuzibu
16Awo abakazi bamalaaya babiri ne bajja eri kabaka, ne bayimirira mu maaso ge. 17Omu ku bo n’amugamba nti, “Mukama wange, omukazi ono nange tubeera mu nnyumba emu, era nazaala omwana nga naye waali. 18Bwe waayitawo ennaku ssatu, naye n’azaala omwana we. Twali ffekka, so tewaali muntu n’omu eyali naffe mu nnyumba.
19“Awo mu kiro omukazi ono, ne yeebakira omwana we n’amutta. 20N’agolokoka ekiro mu ttumbi n’aggya omwana wange mu mbiriizi zange, nze omuweereza wo nga neebase, n’amuteeka mu kifuba kye, ate n’addira owuwe afudde n’amussa mu kifuba kyange. 21Awo bwe nagolokoka enkya okuyoonsa omwana wange, nga mufu. Naye bwe n’amwekaliriza amaaso, ne ndaba nga si ye mwana gwe nazaala.”
22Omukazi oli omulala n’agamba nti, “Nedda! Omulamu ye mwana wange, omufu ye wuwo.”
Naye ow’olubereberye n’aggumiza nti, “Nedda! Omufu ye wuwo, omulamu ye wange.” Ne bawakanira mu maaso ga kabaka.
23Kabaka n’agamba nti, “Omu agamba nti, ‘Omwana wange ye mulamu, owuwo ye mufu,’ n’omulala agamba nti, ‘Omwana wange ye mulamu, owuwo ye mufu.’ ”
24Awo kabaka n’agamba nti, “Mundeetere ekitala.” Ne baleetera kabaka ekitala. 25N’alyoka alagira nti, “Musaleemu omwana omulamu, muwe omu ekitundu n’omulala ekitundu ekirala.”
263:26 Lub 43:30; Is 49:15; Yer 31:20; Kos 11:8Nnyina w’omwana omulamu n’ajjula ennaku olw’omwana we, n’agamba kabaka nti, “Nkwegayiridde mukama wange, omwana omulamu mumuwe! Tomutta!” Naye omukazi oli n’agamba nti, “Tajja kuba wange oba wuwo. Mumusalemu!”
27Awo kabaka n’asalawo ng’agamba nti, “Omwana omulamu mumuwe omukazi ow’olubereberye, so temumutta, kubanga oyo ye nnyina.”
283:28 nny 9, 11-12; Bak 2:3Isirayiri yonna bwe yawulira okusalawo kwa kabaka, ne beewuunya kabaka, kubanga baalaba ng’alina amagezi okuva eri Katonda okulamula ensonga.
